#16 - Chapter 16 Territory Upgrade and Temple of Sin
“This is...”
“Flying units!?”
Li Mengmeng said in surprise, looking in the direction of the Abyssal Portal.
At this moment, near the Abyssal Portal, ten ugly monsters with two to three pairs of wings and mouths like sandworms rapidly flew out.
Their skin had a strange bronze color, covered with hollow, lightweight scales.
Even more exaggeratedly, sharp protrusions like broken spears grew on their backs.
Even as they flew, they constantly scanned their surroundings with their greedy, scarlet eyes.
“Unit name, Raulter Demons?”
Li Mengmeng easily found the names of these newly born Abyssal demons through her Heavenly Dao System.
Although she couldn't see the detailed data of this unit, she keenly noticed the unusual nature of this new type of demon.
“Wait, they're so fast, and they're level 7 units?”
Li Mengmeng said in surprise.
Raulter Demons.
These were the first flying demons that Wu Wei cultivated from the Abyssal Hatchery.
They were also the only flying demons in the Abyssal Hatchery that could be exchanged without other special resources or a special environment.
The stronger level 11 flying unit, the Death Ice Demon,
would require Wu Wei to establish a new Abyssal Hatchery in the ice and snow plane of the Endless Abyss before they could be recruited.
But regardless, the appearance of these flying demons from the Endless Abyss immediately made Li Mengmeng aware of the danger.
“!”“!”
After the first batch of Raulter Demons flew out of the Abyssal Gate, they immediately divided into five teams of two, following Wu Wei's habit.
They flew in different directions towards the destinations Wu Wei had set for them.
And two of the Raulter Demons flew straight towards Li Mengmeng's location.
This was not a coincidence.
Because the sparrow she possessed during the previous centaur escape battle was too conspicuous, Wu Wei had already guessed that other third-party forces were intervening in his exploration of the Trial Continent.
Without much deduction, Wu Wei could already guess: another novice lord participating in the lord assessment had arrived on this Trial Continent through some means!
Moreover, the other party harbored ill intentions towards him!
“Found you, you damn little rat!”
In the Endless Abyss, Wu Wei grinned as he locked onto Li Mengmeng, who was still possessing the sparrow, through the Raulter Demon's perspective.
Slightly different from the perspective of ordinary creatures, the Raulter Demon was a dual-perspective demon that could directly perceive changes in body temperature and also possess ordinary vision.
No matter how Li Mengmeng, possessing the sparrow, twisted and turned in the forest, its small body could not escape the Raulter Demon's lock from a higher vantage point!
Even in terms of speed, the Raulter Demon, which was already in the predator class, was many times faster than this little sparrow!
“Where are you running?”
Wu Wei held the Abyssal Codex and directly ordered the two Raulter Demons to flank Li Mengmeng from the left and right, trapping her in the center.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing the claws of these two demons getting closer and closer, Li Mengmeng's eyes flickered, and she decisively gave up resisting.
【There's no way around it.】
【They are too fast for me, I can't save this body that I possessed.】
【What a pity, this body perfectly matches my spirit.】
Thinking of this, Li Mengmeng gritted her teeth and forcibly disconnected her spirit from the sparrow.
Unlike the soul possession technique of the undead race, which only cares about the body and doesn't care about the soul, the Druid series of possession techniques used by Li Mengmeng is more complicated.
In addition to the physical body conforming to certain specific forms of the Druid, this body must also have similar soul fluctuations to the person who wants to possess it.
This is because the Druids' possession technique is more like some kind of unequal "shared perspective" and "shared thinking".
If one party dies during possession, the other will also be injured.
The undead race's possession technique is more like some kind of distorted seizure.
The famous "Lich's Phylactery" is an advanced way to use this possession technique.
All in all.
After this sparrow dies, it will become very troublesome for Li Mengmeng to come to the Trial Continent in advance to peep at Wu Wei's progress.
But there was no choice.
The next second.
This poor sparrow, which had been possessed for so long, completely woke up and finally regained its freedom.
But this hard-won freedom lasted less than two seconds, and a pair of large hands with sharp nails grabbed it tightly.
And all it could see in the end was a ferocious and bloody mouth!
....
“It's over, have I expelled her?”
Through the perspective of his demons, Wu Wei already knew that the lord who had interfered with him had lost his eyes in this world.
And this Trial Continent where he was located had become safe once again.
But it was only temporary.
“Being interfered with by this guy, my progress has been interrupted, and it's much slower than originally planned.”
Sitting on the Abyssal Throne, Wu Wei frowned as he glanced at the territory he had explored so far.
Due to Li Mengmeng's interference, Wu Wei's original expansion plan was forced to stop.
In fact, in order to more securely occupy this area, Wu Wei was forced to give up hatching a larger number of Small Demons and Imps, and instead turned to hatching this batch of level 7 Raulter Demons, which consumed extremely high resources.
【However, from another perspective, this can be regarded as a good thing.】
【That is, this guy helped me confirm one thing, that is, I must be careful of harassment from other lords during the expansion process on the Trial Continent.】
【Even if these lords cannot temporarily deploy troops to this continent, they have countless ways to interfere with me.】
【So I have to temporarily change the way of expansion, and I can no longer blindly apply cheap but weak Small Demons to push forward mindlessly.】
Thinking of this, Wu Wei had a plan.
He came to the Abyssal Throne, which is the core location of the territory.
After spending five thousand resource points, Wu Wei successfully upgraded his Abyssal Territory to level 2.
【Your territory has been upgraded to level 2.】
【The range of your territory has been expanded.】
【The building quantity limit of your Abyssal Hatchery and Abyssal Portal has been changed to 2.】
【You can now spend resource points to build new basic buildings.】
【The new basic building is: Sin Temple!】
【Sin Temple, the only basic building, costs 15,000 resource points.】
【Sin Temple function: Recruit a race hero whose race is Demon!】
