The intelligence of the Abyssal Demons was far higher than Adil had imagined.
After coming to the Abyss, Adil had conducted many experiments in his spare time, testing all aspects of demons.
What surprised Adil was that demons were not only excellent in terms of intelligence, but they were also superior to many races that he knew.
At least, compared to ordinary humans, demons were much more intelligent.
Although they could not be compared to races like the Elves, there was a reason for that.
The Elves had a very long lifespan, and it often took decades for them to grow from infancy to adulthood. Some Elves with ancient bloodlines would probably need hundreds of years to complete this process.
After a few hundred years, even if one's innate wisdom wasn't too good, their own wisdom would gradually increase with the passage of time.
At least, compared to humans who matured in just a short 10 to 20 years, the Elves were slightly more intelligent.
On the other hand, the Abyssal Demons were also much more intelligent than humans, and in general, they could be compared to the Elves.
This result surprised Adil.
He had originally thought that chaotic creatures like the Abyssal Demons, even if their intelligence was not bad, would not be that strong.
However, it seemed that chaos itself was just nature, and had little to do with the intelligence of living beings.
It was just like how the intelligence of some lunatics was often very high.
Nature and wisdom, these were relatively separate existences, and could not be lumped together.
The intelligence of the Abyssal Demons was also displayed in front of him.
It was just like the castle in front of him.
During the construction of the castle, Adil did not interfere too much during the entire process. He only gave some blueprints and information to the demons and let them study it themselves.
In the end, they really did study it.
When a large number of blueprints and information were placed in front of Adil, Adil's expression was very interesting at that time.
However, being surprised was just being surprised. To a certain extent, the performance of the demons made Adil very interested in mobilizing the labor force of the demons.
Highly intelligent labor was a very precious thing.
In the Sorcerer World, highly intelligent races and slaves were often favored by many Sorcerers.
As long as they were used properly, they could play a huge role in the hands of a Sorcerer.
To Adil, these Abyssal Demons were undoubtedly very good candidates for assistants.
On the one hand, they were very intelligent.
After eliminating their chaotic nature, as long as you find a way to make them work obediently, the power they can exert is enough to surprise you.
Of course, there were many intelligent races. At the very least, Adil's elven race was quite good.
But compared to the elf race that Adil was born in, the Abyssal Demons had another great advantage.
Cheap!
That's right, compared to elves, Abyssal Demons were extremely cheap.
It would take at least 50 to 60 years for an elf to reach adulthood, even if it was a short period of time.
In this aspect, the advantage of humans was even more obvious. They only needed ten to twenty years to reach maturity, which was less than half of the elves' time.
But compared to the Evil Demons, they were nothing.
What was the growth cycle of an abyssal demon?
Less than a year.
It only took less than a year for a demon to hatch from the initial demon worm to mature into a little demon.
To be precise, it was far lower than this value.
The reason was simple.
The growth of demons wasn't like the growth of elves and humans. They needed time to slowly settle, let themselves slowly mature, and successfully gestate.
Their growth was built on bloody slaughter. As long as they continued to slaughter and plunder power from other demons to mature their soul fragments, they would be able to quickly enter the mature stage.
The growth and development period that ordinary life needed was not necessary for them at all.
The simplest example was Adil himself.
How long did it take for him to grow from the initial demon worm to the present?
One year? Half a year?
It wasn't just two to three months.
In just two to three months, Adil grew from a newborn demon worm to a mature demon more than two meters tall.
If he were in the human world, he would have been regarded as a freak.
In ancient times, he would have been drowned in pig cages and burned to death.
But in the abyss, this situation was very common.
The previous example had also been mentioned. Rather than saying that demons were materialistic, it was better to say that they were idealistic creatures.
Their initial existence came from a little soul fragment of other lives, and their subsequent growth only required the continuous development and growth of this little soul fragment.
As for their own body, it wasn't so important to them. As long as the growth of their soul could keep up, they could quickly catch up and wouldn't become their shortcoming.
For Adil, this characteristic of demons became their greatest advantage.
A race with an extremely short maturity period, a large supply of resources, and extremely high intelligence was placed in front of him. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
As for the so-called chaotic nature, it was only a negligible disadvantage.
The elves and humans weren't chaotic, but was it worth it?
Because of the above-mentioned characteristics of demons, Adil began his own plan.
His plan was nothing else but to develop various projects that targeted the various characteristics of demons.
For example, forming a group of demon warriors to become his subordinates. Another example was to transform the flesh and soul of demons and try to do some experiments that couldn't be done in the past.
There was also the attempt to implant witchcraft templates into the flesh and blood of demons so that they could obtain the power of spells.
If all these projects could be done, Adil's current strength would definitely increase immediately.
In fact, even now, the strength of Adil's subordinates wasn't weak.
In just two to three months, he had gathered a strong team and occupied a territory in the abyss.
Although this place was in the middle of nowhere, it was still a piece of land that belonged to him.
No matter what, it was worth looking forward to.
"Next target …"
Sitting at his table, Adil moved away the thick stack of documents and revealed a blueprint at the bottom.
The blueprint was light yellow and seemed to be made of a unique kind of paper. Some of his words were written on it, which roughly described the name of the project.
"Recovery and Reuse of the Abyss Land …"
In layman's terms, it was farming.
It was just farming in the abyss.
If the idea of farming in the abyss were to spread, it would probably cause a lot of ridicule.
A large number of knowledgeable and highly educated mages would slap Adil's head with books and tell him how unrealistic it was.
But after Adil's own research, he found that it was still feasible.
In a normal world, the reason why plants could grow on the ground was because of the various elements contained in the soil and the energy provided by sunlight.
There were also these in the abyss, and because of the years of fighting and the lack of farming, the land in the abyss was far more fertile than the land in other places.
As for the source of energy, it was difficult, but substitutes could also be found.
The reason why there were no plants growing in most areas of the abyss was mainly because of the influence of the power of the abyss.
The power of the abyss was chaotic and violent. It was everywhere in the abyss and pervaded the entire world.
Under the abyss, there was also a huge amount of power of the abyss. It was entrenched in this place and could not be eliminated at all.
With the influence of the power of the abyss, ordinary crops could not survive in the abyss at all. They would be directly killed by the chaotic power of the abyss.
This was why there were no plants in the abyss.
As for normal evolution, it was simply impossible for plants to survive in the abyss.
The evolution of life also had to pay attention to basic laws.
Even if they wanted to evolve, they had to at least have a prototype.
Given the current terrifying power of the abyss, any foreign life would be completely killed when they entered, so there was no room for evolution.
When Adil's other avatar, Yasuo, came to the Abyss, he could not hold on after staying for a short while. He had to use the power of the World Source to protect himself so that he would not be eroded.
Even Adil's clone was like that, so how could ordinary creatures adapt?
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it was indeed impossible for other life forms to appear in the abyss.
In this regard, Adil thought for a long time and finally decided to focus his breakthrough on demons.
Demons were the natives of the abyss, and if there was any creature in this world that had the strongest adaptability to the abyss, it had to be demons.
Then there was another problem.
No matter what, a demon is still a living being. How are you going to bury it in the ground and let it grow out at a fixed time?
This was a very difficult problem, but Adil had some ideas in front of him.
"Fusing the flesh and blood cells of demons with the cells of some extraordinary plants and extracting the bloodline patterns of both sides might be able to do this …"
Adil was in high spirits as he studied these alone.
In the entire material world, Adil might not dare to say anything in other domains.
But when it came to bloodlines, even if Adil did not dare to claim to be the best, he was at least among the best.
After all, he had relied on refining bloodlines to make his fortune.
Later on, the bloodline manuals had also helped him a lot.
At this moment, he was just resuming his old business.
Just as Adil was in high spirits and wholeheartedly farming, an unfamiliar team appeared outside the territory he occupied.
