A new panel appeared before Wu Wei's eyes.

....
Very good attributes!
Even Wu Wei himself did not expect that the first hero he recruited would be so strong.
The Imp Matriarch Caroline not only possessed extremely high strength, but also had incredibly terrifying initial health.
A full 1400 points!
Although many heroes with bloodlines have health points in the tens of thousands in the later stages, this was the first time Wu Wei had seen a hero with such high health at level one.
According to her attributes and skills, Caroline, with her high strength and constitution, could be considered a very powerful front-line fighter.
Moreover, she could use her skills to form a perfect linkage system with Wu Wei's imps.
Although the imps might resist forming such a linkage system, but...
That was obviously useless~
“You don’t have to lie down, stand up.”
After reading the Imp Matriarch's attributes, Wu Wei told the Imp Matriarch, who was lying in front of him, to stand up.
This wasn't because Wu Wei was considerate of his subordinates, but simply because the Imp Matriarch Caroline was too huge at this time.
She was already affecting the normal entry and exit of the Abyss Portal just by lying here.
“Thank you, great Abyss Lord!”
Hearing Wu Wei tell her to get up, the Imp Matriarch Caroline immediately stood up.
It must be said that the Imp Matriarch's size was too large.
Just her standing in front of Wu Wei gave Wu Wei a sense of extreme oppression.
No wonder she could fit a full twenty cages on her body specifically for holding imps...
However, before Wu Wei could issue new combat orders to the Imp Matriarch, this bloated and terrifying monster spoke first.
“Um, great Abyss Lord, can you grant me, a humble being, a small request?”
“Request?”
Wu Wei was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
In the Lord Era, hero units all had extremely high intelligence, and as creatures with intelligence, it was normal for them to have all sorts of strange desires.
The heroes' requests varied. Some might need certain equipment, some might want the lord to help take care of their clansmen, and some simply craved wealth....
In addition to these ordinary requests.
Some hero units would have many strange requests.
For example, some special male/female heroes would actively pursue their lords, despite some differences in race between the two sides.
Uh, a little bit of a small difference....
But in short, as long as the lords successfully fulfilled these heroes' requests, then these heroes would often reward these lords in their own way.
For example, hidden skills, secrets hidden in the bloodline, special racial clues, and so on.
Most importantly, fulfilling the heroes' requests could increase their loyalty!
“Yes, you have a request?”
Wu Wei asked.
Although he had noticed that the Imp Matriarch's loyalty had been fixed at a permanent 100 points due to the Endless Abyss, Wu Wei still wanted to know what kind of request the Imp Matriarch, as his first hero, would have.
This would also serve as a reference for subsequent racial heroes.
But Wu Wei never expected that the Imp Matriarch's request would be so bizarre.....
And so easy to satisfy!
——————————
A few minutes later, on the Trial Continent.
“Hahahaha, I love imps the most! You....”
“Missed me?”
On the vast plain, countless imps were screaming and fleeing frantically.
And behind them, a bloated "mountain of flesh" was constantly capturing these poor creatures.
“Aww!”
An imp who was running away was tripped by a teammate who was also running away, and fell to the ground in a dog-eat-mud fashion.
This was a common trick of the imps.
As the saying goes, when a predator comes, I don't need to run faster than the predator, I just need to run faster than my teammates.
So before he could get up to take revenge on his "teammate," a pair of giant hands, larger than his entire body, grabbed him tightly and threw him into a narrow, dirty iron cage.
“Oh, my lovely baby, now that you're back in mommy's arms, don't think about leaving so easily~”
The Imp Matriarch Caroline smiled as she looked at the imp trapped in her cage.
But her yellowed teeth and trembling lips revealed that her thoughts might not be so simple.
“Hahaha!”
“My naughty children, don't run anymore~ Come back to mommy! Quick!”
In the vast forest, the Imp Matriarch was playing with her beloved imps with a loving smile.
And the cages on her body were gradually filling up....
Seeing that his first recruited hero had so quickly become one with his soldiers, Wu Wei was very pleased with this.
【Now that I have enough high-end combat power, the tactics I set before can finally continue to advance.】
Wu Wei opened the Heavenly Dao System and looked at his Heavenly Dao Map.
At this time, Wu Wei's Heavenly Dao Map had become unrecognizable in his hands.
Large and small marked points, signals distinguished by various colors, and ever-changing marching routes made it impossible for outsiders to see what Wu Wei was thinking.
But Wu Wei was not affected at all, and even enjoyed it.
Gradually accustomed to chaos and disorder, he drew a black and red circle on the Heavenly Dao System map.
Within this circle representing death and destruction was a small town belonging to a neutral race.
And ruling this town was the dwarf race, known for their hot temper and stubbornness!
