The Truth of Magic

Chapter 712: Visitors

After hearing Zhao Xu's order, the Demon Hunting Spider couldn't help but feel the trembling from the soul. It trembled and said, "Okay, please follow me."

Then it moved its eight limbs consciously, actively opening the way for Zhao Xu in front, but it was not very particular about the route, with all kinds of cobwebs entangled and viscous liquid hanging from the ceiling.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu was protected by the "freedom of movement" spell, so he would not disturb the entanglement effect of the spider web at all, and followed the witcher spider in front of him smoothly throughout the whole process.

"How long have you been watching here?" Zhao Xu suddenly asked curiously.

"About five hundred years." The Demon Hunting Spider replied, it still walked swiftly, and its telepathic ability accurately conveyed its will.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly.

Alien creatures seem to live forever, but it also means that there is no way to escape the end of life, let alone retirement.

If there is no strange incident, the other guard will never be sure for the rest of his life. Invisibly, it is also a kind of permanent life imprisonment.

It's really the most standard and cruel migrant workers. It's not much better than skeleton zombies that are similar to perpetual motion machines and tireless.

"How many new spider populations are cultivated here?" Zhao Xu continued.

The Demon Hunting Spider replied telepathically, "There are no less than ten places similar to the Spider Queen. I don't know the details. But the new species here will be regularly transferred by wax-melting demon messengers."

"You're easy to talk to?" Zhao Xu was surprised, "Did you really feel the power of the hammer of justice in my hand?"

If these demons from the abyss were simply afraid of death, then it would be easy to deal with them.

Taking advantage of weaknesses, and then amplifying them to achieve control is the key method for mages to manipulate people's hearts.

The real headache is the elusive nature of "mess".

Just like "a gentleman can deceive others", the actions of the lawful camp can at least be inferred according to the rules.

But a chaotic demon may have a hundred solutions to the same problem.

In one moment, he promised, and in the next second, he punched hard.

There is no official correct answer at all.

The witcher spider slightly bent its knees, and said slowly: "Although I can feel the power of magic, but I can't determine the specific scale. What really makes me surrender is the will power penetrated and pointed out by your spell, which contains The ancient breath of the abyss naturally makes me feel oppressed by the superiors, and I dare not rebel."

Willpower?

Abyss breath?

Zhao Xu's eyes froze slightly.

He recalled that these abyssal demons were able to honestly throw themselves into the bloody battlefield to die, and it was more because of their submission to the "abyss lord".

Unless they meet another abyss lord, the price of betrayal is too high for them to afford.

Now, unexpectedly, the other party can do it for him. Invisibly, it is also because of an abyss lord.

Doesn't that mean that his trip to the "Bottomless Realm" at the bottom of the abyss eventually brought him the real "power of the abyss".

It's not because he's attractive enough, tall and handsome.

Now just the aftermath of his spell has made a Demon Hunting Spider with a challenge level of 10 succumb. Once it is released, won't it affect the entire area?

And a demon hunting spider with an intelligence of 11 can't react, but a Barlow with an intelligence close to 20, plus their own mark of being favored by the abyss, is likely to react directly. It is an abyss lord!

However, behind these Barlow flame demons, there is an abyss lord standing behind them.

It's like a priest to a god.

Couldn't it be that he hasn't been able to cast spells in Barlow's Balrog recently?

Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling the seriousness of the whole problem.

Although the Barlow of the abyss belongs to the middle and high sequence of demons, they can't be seen all the time, but there are many of them!

The only good thing was that the spider queen, Rose, was more enamored of the wax melt demon, and her status was higher than that of Ballow's flame demon, so Zhao Xu met some special envoys, who were more likely to be the wax melt demon.

"Is there a high frequency of demons in that place that can be teleported?" Zhao Xu asked out of caution.

The Demon Hunting Spider nodded, "The Spider Queen's attendant, Mr. Wiggs, the wax-melting demon, will arrive there from time to time to inspect the recent cultivation status of spiders, and select good products from them to make an offering."

Forehead.

This might not be really easy.

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had heard of such magical demons as the "wax melting demon".

Before going down to the abyss, he also knew the specific panel values ​​clearly, but he didn't read too much about the source of the background.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu directly used his knowledge (planar skills)!

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you performed the knowledge (plane) skill, retrieved the wax melting demon, succeeded in the test, and obtained the tier information as follows——]

[Level 20 information: Wax Demon serves as a maidservant for the drow goddess Rose, and receives her favor and protection. 】

[Level 25 information: Wax Demon has the ability to transform, and can switch between green cloud-like, human-shaped spiders, beautiful female elves or humans, and beautiful amorphous tentacle monsters]

[Level 30 information: Wax Demon has a mind barrier effect protection, which cannot be removed. Immune to acid, electricity, poison. Resist to cold, fire, non-good weapon damage]

[Level 35 information: Wax Demon possesses a large number of spell-like abilities, including controlling humanoid creatures and reading corresponding thoughts]

Forehead.

Zhao Xu looked at the four retrieved messages with a dull expression.

When did the knowledge and skill system become so flooded, and what it actually got was the ability information of the Wax Melting Demon.

He already knew about this stuff, and Qi still has that kind of extremely comprehensive detailed ability.

It is also described so vaguely, the green cloud state is not the "gasification form", the human female is not the "humanoid form", and the spider is not the "spider form", these are the supernatural abilities of the wax melting demon.

As for the shapeless tentacle monster, this is the noumenon mentality of the wax melting demon.

The so-called spell-like spells are not just detecting thoughts, dominating humans, darkness, desecration, advanced teleportation, spider walk, stone shaping, spider web, etc.

He even knew that if the opponent turned into a humanoid form, he would be completely naked, and he would usually enter this state only after preparing armor and weapons.

And they all tend to use this state on the main material plane.

But it is also because of the equipment. Unless these melting wax demons can hide their equipment, they will not switch to other forms.

Unless you can't use advanced teleportation to escape, you will escape in a gaseous form, or you will use your real form to complete the kill if you feel that victory is inevitable.

Generally speaking, the Wax Melting Demon who dominates human beings will not lack younger followers, and it is not difficult to help transfer equipment during battle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu continued to collect information from the Demon Hunting Spider while walking with him, "You are in the abyss, do you know the background of this melting wax demon?"

The witcher spider replied, "These waxmelts usually appear alone in the place of worship of the Queen Rose, and they represent the Queen's advisors, assassins, and lovers to some extent."

"For us or those worshipers of the Spider Queen, these maids are the agents of Rose. Compared with demons like us who need to prey on their own, demons like Waxmelt can survive in most drow societies, Get everything they want, anything they want."

Heh, he is really a natural born emperor.

"Will there be a brigade situation?" Zhao Xu asked back.

With such a close relationship, I feel that the Waxmelt Demon is not as strong as the Barlow Flame Demon, but the difference in level is not there.

A typical close minister of the emperor, it is not a big problem for him not to reveal his physical output for one or two seconds.

I was afraid that if I met a large group, the news would be leaked.

The Demon Hunting Spider nodded, "It is indeed possible. At that time, they played the role of guards. Because of the favor of the Spider Queen, they are also easier to work part-time. They often have the rank of poet, priest or warlock. I have seen one Rose's envoy from the Devil's Web Pit, Waxmelt Demon, is a 13-level poet who influences Arthur's country for Rose."

"This really made me even more curious." Zhao Xu said with emotion.

Indistinctly, he seemed to be aware of the mysterious meaning behind the "melting wax demon", a demon with a basic challenge level of no more than level 8.

It seems that it is not a natural product in the abyss.

In the next moment, Zhao Xu gathered all his energy slightly, and slowly let his mind go, as if an invisible soul was about to come out of his body.

At this time, when he was in the "Bottomless Realm", he learned a special technique that allowed him to sense the "Abyss Scroll" to the maximum extent, and then feel the contents through the communication of consciousness.

In essence, this is also a knowledge skill test, but the target is the "Abyss Scroll" rather than the source of "Knowledge Origin".

In an instant, Zhao Xu's mind seemed to be pierced by a meteor shower in the night sky. Countless stars flashed and turned into a rain of light, dotted it constantly, and told Zhao Xu——

All about Waxmelt.

Zhao Xu's eyes gradually became brighter.

I see.

At this moment, he became more vigilant towards Rose!

How could that melting wax demon be a model of the special demon race in the bottomless abyss?

In other words, they are one of the few demons transformed by the gods from the most basic Tanar'ri demons for special purposes.

Once, after Rose came to the land of the abyss, she captured those succubus, and then changed these succubi into the shape of wax melting demon little by little!

Even this process is still a secret that countless abyss lords are curious about.

Everyone wants to know how it is done, and the abyss lords also want to master this method, so as to transform a demon army of their own.

Because the wax melting demons have essentially lost any connection with their "source" succubi.

It can be said that it is an independent and unique demon in every respect.

Even to some extent, they themselves are the source.

The original version of demons created by the Abyss were "Obiris Demons", and they appeared before even human history.

Then in the ancient battle in the Wanyuan Plain, the "Tanar'ri Demon" replaced the status of the current favorite of the abyss.

This period of history was first known to Zhao Xu listening to the whispers of the abyss in the bottomless realm.

In essence, that great war was the shadow of the struggle between chaos and order.

Since then, the original demon, the demon hunter spider, and the Balor demon are all evolutionary branches of the "Tanar'ri demon". As long as an abyss lord is willing, he can use the power of the abyss to give them the lord's power at any time to promote it.

From Coward Demon to Barlow Flame Demon, in essence, it is just a thought of the abyss lords,

But the "wax melting demon" is different.

Theoretically, this "melting wax demon" is a brand-new demon system that can continue to evolve and evolve like the "Tanari demon".

It was only limited by Rose's own ability that she didn't change into thousands of types, but simply took the part-time strengthening route.

"What level is the Waxing Demon that arrived here?" Zhao Xu asked suddenly.

The monster hunting spider replied: "It has not undergone any evolution, it is the most common version."

"Then you are also afraid of it?"

Zhao Xu was a little curious. The abyss, a place where there is no order, would not have the idea of ​​obeying the superior at all. Whoever has the biggest fist will listen to whomever has the biggest fist.

Once the fist weakens, it will be the moment of betrayal and backstab, but he actually heard the meaning of this monster hunting spider's incomparable fear.

And the Demon Hunting Spider continued to say bitterly: "My lord, the wax melting demon is willing to dominate and cruelly torture other creatures, even if the opposite is a demon. The demon in the abyss deeply knows that the spider queen Rose will protect his maid."

"Even in other planes?" Zhao Xu was curious.

"That's right, any demon who dares to resist the Wax Melting Demon will be visited by the more powerful subordinates of the Spider Queen, even the drow goddess himself."

"That's why the demons in the abyss hate and fear them."

Zhao Xu's interest was even greater, and he realized that he seemed to have come into contact with a brand new toy, "Will there be no betrayal inside the wax melting demon?"

Sometimes, a Vloe team led by one Balor may be stronger than a team of Vlo led by two Balo.

While bullying their subordinates, the demons are also afraid of the counterattacks of their opponents at the same level, because they are all obstacles for them to continue to climb up.

The Demon Hunting Spider was puzzled and said, "There doesn't seem to be any competitive relationship between the wax melters. I have seen more than one wax melter appear in Changhe, and they all cooperate with all their strength without complaint. Rather, the company of companions is a source of pleasure and joy."

Are they actually demons who don't know how to pit teammates against each other?

In an instant, Zhao Xu's footsteps froze again.

His near-explosive "detection" skills told him that there were inexplicable creatures in the shadows ahead.

At this moment, there was a cold smile from inside.

"It also omits that the wax-melting monsters in the main material world are good at creating harm and using murder and conspiracy to spread the source of evil and chaos. Relying on their humanoid form and charm, they can often blend into it, and Made a lot of friends."

"Unfortunately, demons are demons after all, even their lovers will not stop betraying."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, "You are?"

In the shadows was a homeless man lying on the ground.
