Seeing a puddle of filthy pus formed by Zhuangshuo Demon, Thorne was about to take a short rest before continuing to explore ahead.

Suddenly, in the filthy pus, a nearly invisible light gray soul floated out, and after letting out a shrill scream, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and could not leave, and finally all submerged in the demon mark in his palm.

Noticing this strange change, Thorne's face changed, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the cold ground, stood the long sword in front of him, pressed his left arm tightly with his right hand, and activated the Steel Soul faction's countermeasure without hesitation , Resisting the crazy invasion of the strong demonic will.

Invaded by the will of the strong demon!

Making a Will saving throw...

……

The saving throw succeeded!
You successfully saved the strong demon's will invasion!

You have successfully absorbed the soul will of Zhuangshuo Demon!
Gain 30 Demon Power!
……

"call!"

After a while, Thorne wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

"I didn't expect to be able to completely kill the demon body from the bottomless abyss, but the chaotic will of this abyss is a bit unbearable. If the challenge level of this demon is higher, it is impossible to resist it so easily. .

It seems that there is time, and we must pay more attention to the equipment that can improve the attribute of will. Thorne picked up the long sword and stood up, looking at the endless darkness, talking to himself.

As long as they are outside the bottomless abyss, demons are not afraid of death. Even if a demon is killed by chance, they will turn into filthy pus, and after a certain period of time, they will accumulate enough energy to reshape themselves again. And their mentality will not change in any way, only the hatred will become more vigorous.

Therefore, the only way to really kill the demon is to enter the bottomless abyss and strangle its essence.

However, to Thorn's surprise, when he killed the strong demon whose main body came to the main material world, in addition to greatly increasing his "demon power" progress, under the transformation of the demon mark , Killed the opponent completely.

This is something he never expected, and the main reason for this situation is obvious.

Seeing that the growth progress of "Devil's Power" has reached more than half, Thorne suddenly began to look forward to what special abilities he would be able to obtain after upgrading to lv2.

Just one spell-like ability "Fireball" has benefited him endlessly, so what surprises will other abilities have?
Thinking of this, Thorne couldn't help speeding up his steps towards the depths of the underground space, because he firmly believed that there must be other demonic creatures entrenched in this unknown underground space. It may be acting as a guard channel.

Thorn continued to explore the passage, walking alone in the dark underground passage, and did not encounter any undead creatures or demons along the way, except for his slight footsteps, there was only a quieter and weirder environment.

In such a strange environment, even a big-hearted person like him couldn't help feeling a little hairy.

In this way, after he walked nearly [-] meters, a fork in the road composed of caves appeared in front of him. Standing at the intersection, Thorne could clearly feel the increasingly strong negative energy wafting from it, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

He looked at each other at the two intersections on the left and right, and saw nothing unusual, so he randomly chose the road on the left, and walked in without hesitation, holding the long sword.

The length of the passage in the cave is about 200 meters. When Thorn walked to the end, a faint light appeared at the exit, so he looked around vigilantly and accelerated his pace.

"Boom!"

Thorn stood at the exit of the passage on a relatively high terrain, and unexpectedly found an underground river rushing through the underground passage in the distance.

"Could it have reached the Underdark?" Thorn's first thought came to him.

In the end, after he looked carefully, he found that it was not what he imagined. If this place could really lead to the Underdark, it would have been occupied by a large number of dark elves or gray dwarves long ago, and it would not be preserved until now.

While walking all the way, he found that there was no trace of any biological activity in this passage.

Then Thorn immediately locked his eyes on the direction of the source of the light. There was a wide stone platform about 500 meters ahead, and there were more than a dozen ghostly will-o'-the-wisps floating in the midair of the platform.

Through the light of the will-o'-the-wisp, it can be seen that there are more than a dozen stone coffins neatly arranged on the platform, and in the center of the stone coffins, there is also a large sarcophagus horizontally.

"Is it a ghoul? Or a mummy?" Thorn frowned, because he didn't find the demon creature he expected to see.

So he began to look around the stone platform carefully, and found a large number of undead creatures wandering unconsciously in this space, including skeletons, ghouls, zombies, and corpses...

There are even some ghosts and Liches with humanized soul flames dancing in their eye sockets, holding skull holy emblems in their hands, and wearing cloth robes, obviously possessing the professional level of priests.

"Could it be that this is a secret base for cultivating undead creatures?" Thorne locked his eyes on the stone coffin of the platform again, and suddenly noticed a vague altar deep in the platform.

——"Shadow Hand Pie (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!"

So with a thought, a wave of shadow energy instantly enveloped his body until it disappeared without a trace.

The moment Thorne left the entrance of the tunnel, a breath of negative energy that almost suffocated him immediately filled his body, making him almost out of breath.

Just as he was about to turn back the same way, the ring of the paladin in his hand played its due role.

In the pitch-black space, an aura flashed across the ring, and the built-in medium protection aura "Protection from Evil" instantly emitted a subtle and imperceptible sacred energy that enveloped his whole body. After Thorne took a few deep breaths, , the breathing gradually became stable.

"Everywhere is filled with such a strong atmosphere of negative energy, this space must be surrounded by a huge blasphemy circle." Thorne took a look and guessed secretly.

Then he moved his feet and began to walk silently along the edge area to an altar deep in the stone platform.

"I seem to smell the breath of the living, and there is a little sacred smell. I hate this disgusting...Damn it, someone broke in, right?" A lich in a cloth robe The ugly, wrinkled and skinny face exuded viciousness and frenzy.

"...I seem to feel it too." The soul fire in the eye sockets of the other zombie jumped: "Impossible, how can outsiders break in here?"
