#4 - Chapter 4 Nature
With the Abyssal Hatchery activated,
Wu Wei could now officially recruit soldiers.
All Abyssal units could be directly recruited, but Wu Wei didn't possess the resources required to recruit many special Abyssal units.
Regardless, the fact that the unit icons in the Abyssal Hatchery were lit up was enough to prove everything.
Without much hesitation, Wu Wei directly exchanged all his remaining resource points in the Heavenly Dao System Shop for Soul Stones and Flesh.
“Since the Tier 0, Tier 1, and Tier 2 units in the Abyssal Hatchery can all be recruited with just Souls and Flesh, I don’t need to exchange for other resources in the early stages.”
“Moreover, since there are no resources nearby for me to gather, I don’t need to divert any energy to exploration.”
Wu Wei thought, looking at the withered and barren land around him.
Generally, after establishing their territories, most lords need to dedicate a significant portion of their energy to exploring the surrounding lands.
This is done to ensure the safety of their territory, dealing with potential special situations like wild beasts or hostile forces.
Secondly, once these lords have explored and found suitable environments, they will quickly choose to establish something like a “branch mine” in the corresponding location, accelerating their development as much as possible.
But Wu Wei currently doesn't need to worry about these issues at all. After all, this world called the Endless Abyss is already withered and dead, and there are no so-called enemies within it that can attack Wu Wei's territory.
Therefore, Wu Wei's territory in the Endless Abyss can be said to be absolutely safe.
The only problem he needs to worry about is how to attack!
“If I want to continue developing now, I can only go to the Trial Continent to plunder resources.”
“But before that, I need to summon a few basic units to see their attributes.”
With that thought, Wu Wei directly投入了a set amount of Soul Stones into the hatchery.
With a wriggling motion from the hatchery, ten cocoons of varying colors, only as tall as an adult's waist, appeared before Wu Wei.
Their shells were covered with various bizarre patterns, some resembling ghost faces, others resembling special symbols, each different.
But the only thing they had in common was that these symbols and patterns would instinctively feel ominous to any creature with sufficient rationality and emotion.
The Tier 1 Abyssal Hatchery can only hatch ten such cocoons at a time.
And these cocoons are the Demon Cocoons.
Each cocoon contains a Little Demon that has not yet fully hatched.
Wu Wei looked at the timer on the Heavenly Dao System, which indicated the time required for these Little Demons to hatch.
Thirty seconds.
Among the many Tier 0 units, they are considered to be among the faster ones to hatch.
“Squeak!” “Ya!”
As soon as the thirty seconds were up, these cocoons broke open directly.
One after another, ugly Little Demons with wings and the size of children appeared before Wu Wei.
[Little Demon]
[Tier 0 Unit.]
[Affiliation: Chaotic Evil.]
[Abilities: Mining, Carrying, Lumbering, etc.]
[Description: Cannon fodder among cannon fodder in the Endless Abyss, with extremely strong adaptability. You can use them at will. Remember, it's use! Because whether you let them be miners, slaves, or experimental subjects, or even eat them directly, it's a good ending for their terribly evil souls.]
As soon as they opened their eyes, they revealed absolute evil and greed, constantly scanning everything around them with malicious eyes.
Even including Wu Wei himself!
Although they are Little Demons, they are still demons.
The chaos and evil within demons apply to them as well.
However, when they sensed the aura of the lord emanating from Wu Wei and the invisible波动 emanating from the throne beneath him, this malice and greed immediately disappeared without a trace.
“Hmm?”
However, when the ten Little Demons actually hatched, Wu Wei couldn't help but frown.
“What's going on? Why don't these Little Demons have the same attributes?”
“Some Little Demons have a Strength of 5, while others only have 2.”
“Some Little Demons have an Intelligence as high as 6 points, while others only have a pitiful 1 point, like a stupidly dead murloc?”
This was the first time Wu Wei had seen such a situation.
It was the first time he had heard of the same type of unit having different attributes.
Logically speaking, the units recruited in a territory should basically have fixed attributes.
But the Little Demons Wu Wei summoned this time had absolutely no fixed attributes!
Not believing it, Wu Wei summoned 10 new Little Demons and 10 Tier 1 units—Native Imps—again.
Sure enough, the attributes of the new Little Demons Wu Wei summoned this time were still completely chaotic.
Not only the Little Demons, but even the attributes of those Native Imps were completely chaotic!
“Complete chaos in attributes?”
“No, not just attributes.”
“The entire Endless Abyss is this chaotic.”
Wu Wei looked at these Little Demons and gradually understood some of the basic attributes of the Endless Abyss.
First of all, the chaos of the Endless Abyss is not only reflected in the environment and rules, but also the creatures within the Endless Abyss, and even everything in the Endless Abyss, will be affected by absolute chaos.
Having figured this out, Wu Wei stopped studying it further.
He is not a scholar and does not need to understand this Endless Abyss so thoroughly.
He only needs to make good use of the Endless Abyss.
However, just as Wu Wei was preparing to massively “spam units” and send those Little Demons into the Trial Continent en masse, an accident happened again.
“Okay, let me form these Little Demons into a team in the system. Without heroes or generals, all unit command can only be done by me.”
Just as Wu Wei was forming the team, he suddenly discovered that the first batch of Little Demons he had summoned earlier had only 8 left!
Two Little Demons had disappeared!
Completely disappeared. Wu Wei couldn't find them in the system either.
When the puzzled Wu Wei locked the view of the territory onto that batch of Little Demons, a shocking scene appeared in his eyes.
The remaining eight Little Demons were tearing at the corpses of the other two Little Demons.
They were cheering and rejoicing, enjoying their first meal since birth!
They were extremely grateful, extremely grateful that they were the ones who survived.
They didn't care at all that what they were devouring was their own kind.
The only thing they knew was that their hunger urgently needed to be satisfied!
When the corpses of these two Little Demons were eaten clean, the remaining Little Demons were not satisfied at all.
Although they were no longer hungry, they would always crave more.
So, they once again turned their attention to their own kind.
This time, the number of Little Demons summoned in the first batch was only 7 left....
Greed, evil, hunger, never satisfied.
Possessing all the above sins, they are all creatures nurtured by the Endless Abyss.
And they...
Are inherently so!
