On the Island of Abyss, in the castle near the intermediate area of the Abyss Fishing Ground, the bell ringing from the bell tower heralded the arrival of a new day. Mu Hua, who had been sitting on the top floor of the castle's main tower for a long time, opened his eyes.
This is a Western-style castle with all the necessary facilities and buildings, including a moat, a drawbridge, a castle entrance, a main tower, towers on the side of the city gate, outer wall defense towers, and a knight's dormitory that replaced the church hall.
From the perspective of combat defense, if the castle is compared to a fortress, then the palace is a maze-like fortress cluster. For the time being, Mu Hua does not need that kind of building complex, and he does not have that much manpower to fill it.
Mu Hua built three castles of this specification, one located in the original central camp, one on the edge of the abyss, and the last one in Feilong Ridge in the human world.
These are all Mu Hua's homes, but he has been in the human world for a short time, and the castle on Feilong Ridge is far less complete than the two on the Abyss Island. It is almost equivalent to an ordinary villa residence.
Compared to the human world, the Island of Abyss still lacks some vitality. It has an excellent magical environment and abnormal laws of time, but it is still difficult to maintain the autonomous reproduction of biological populations on the island.
Even though the island is already filled with life, in terms of emotional energy, the Abyss Island is still far inferior to the outside world. It is more like a secret base than a world.
The numbered individuals are only making initial attempts to build a social system. Perhaps when the Abyss Island expands, and when Mu Hua moves more monsters and even humans who can sustain the reproduction of the tribe to the island, and when the social form is perfected, then this place can truly be considered a world like a courtyard.
Most of the people around Mu Hua live in the human world during the day and enter the Abyss Island at night. The time on the island still has some impact on their physiological conditions, but it is not serious.
Through long-term observation, it was found that ten years on the Abyss Island would reduce human lifespan by about one year. According to the demons under Mu Hua, this rule was probably designed to better torture the abyss monsters.
This can be considered a benefit for creatures that can travel back and forth between the Abyss Island and the human world, but in essence, it is likely a law with a punitive implication.
In order to deeply analyze the Petrified Demon Eye, Mu Hua has stayed in the Abyss Island for a long time in recent years. The top of the main tower of the castle can be regarded as his place of practice, and also as his bedroom.
Although it is not impossible for Mu Hua to have three thousand beauties in his harem now, he has become accustomed to sleeping alone over the years.
Well, it’s not that he is indifferent to sex, nor that his waist can’t bear it. He still prefers the company of a beautiful woman and the tenderness in his arms.
But, you say that when you open your eyes early in the morning, the pink and tender girl next to you turns into a rough stone sculpture. If you experience this situation too many times, it will cause psychological trauma. No matter whether it is him or the girls, they can't stand it.
"Mu Hua~Mu Hua~~, Thursday said that he found traces of a Hydra in the abyss again, and asked if you want to lead it...Ah!" The dignified girl with twin ponytails exclaimed, and when she saw Mu Hua looking at her with a smile, the girl's body instinctively took a defensive posture.
She has a clean face, black hair and bright eyes. She wears a shirt and a short skirt with a vest underneath. Under the short skirt, she reveals a pair of well-proportioned legs wrapped in pantyhose. She wears a red windbreaker that most people find difficult to pull off.
Lin, the legendary girl with long legs, was a Terran girl whose unnecessary surname was removed by Mu Hua.
When creating her, Mu Hua originally wanted to attack the 'Human Rocket Launcher' and her sister 'Red of Pain'.
But Aoko is good at destruction, and Chengzi is more arbitrary and uncontrollable. It is definitely not because of any time or mother-daughter interest. Mu Hua finally chooses to let Lin and Aoi stay with him.
Well, these two occupy more positions in his lost youth. As for Lin's other little sister, there is nothing she can do about the lack of the Demon King's brain, right? Well, in the case of not moving the character's personality, Mu Hua is a little afraid of being...
"Mu Hua, can you control the petrifying magic eye?" After a brief panic, Lin stretched out her palm and looked at it, then touched her waist, legs and buttocks. Thinking that she seemed to have improved her affinity with the earth element recently, the girl asked hesitantly.
"Yes, we can finally control it. If we don't complete the life transition, it should be impossible for humans to control the petrified magic eye."
As if feeling emotional, Mu Hua walked towards Lin with a smile, looking at the girl in front of him unscrupulously. The joy of completing the life leap and controlling the petrifying magic eye catalyzed more passion in Mu Hua's heart.
Noticing the aggressive look in Mu Hua's eyes, the girl obviously thought of something. Her cheeks turned pink, and she became shy and cautious. She turned around and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Mu Hua.
"Ah! Let's get down to business. Thursday found a Hydra in the abyss. Do you want to lure it to the fishing rod? No, I just finished my hair, and you...you tore my clothes."
There was a bed on the top of the tower, and Mu Hua would sometimes rest here. Mu Hua carried Lin to the bed, and Lin twisted her body. While she was speaking quickly, Mu Hua began to touch her all over.
The man's soft voice was mixed with heavy breathing, and the girl let out strange moans as she was scolded and slapped. After a while, the noisy noises of the numbered individuals could be heard faintly from the fishing grounds in the distance, and a suggestive sound came from the castle tower.
Although she was tormented by Mu Hua a lot, Lin was different from Aoi in some things. The girl was used to struggling passively, and Mu Hua, who finally didn't have to be a "blind man" anymore, wanted to appreciate Aoi's kneeling posture to welcome him.
Ahem... stop talking about this!
After staying on the Abyss Island for decades and drinking several doses of warp potions, Mu Hua finally achieved the life warp. After years of accumulation and through the catalysis of life warp, Mu Hua finally controlled his own petrification magic eye.
There is no need to say much about the Petrifying Eye. If it can be controlled, it will be the same style as Queen Medusa of the Eternal Night Territory. Although it still attacks indiscriminately through vision, it can be retracted and released, so you don't have to be afraid to open your eyes all day.
Life transition is relatively more complicated. It mainly affects the characteristics of vitality under certain circumstances, allowing vitality to have a certain resistance to abnormal loss. To use a general term, most monsters cannot directly cross between hell and the human world.
Without a sufficient life level, the dimensional turbulence on the periphery of the Hell Plane will take away the vitality of living things when they pass through. If the life level is too low, it will manifest itself in the form of crushing the living things into pieces like scraping bones and slow slicing.
Life rank seems to symbolize longer vitality, and organisms with high life ranks do have longer lifespans, but its essence is the adaptability of organisms to environments and abilities that consume vitality.
It allows a living thing to have the ability to self-recover after an abnormal loss of vitality, but it does not mean immortality. If we talk about prolonging life here, the golden apple itself is a magical object with miraculous effects.
Human life transition is not all good once it is completed. There is no need to say more about the increase in lifespan. Just like Mu Hua at this moment, he has completed a life transition. At this time, his life level is probably higher than all low-level monsters and he has reached the level of a mid-level monster.
In their original state, humans' life level is even lower than that of goblins, but in terms of life transition, they have certain advantages over most monsters.
Putting aside evolution, if they are first-level monsters, they need to complete nine life transitions to reach the top level of life, and the difficulty is much more exaggerated than evolution.
By analogy, each life transition corresponds to an improvement of one level, until it breaks through advanced organisms and becomes a higher-level life form.
Humans are very pure low-level creatures. Although they have no evolutionary mechanism, they only need to complete three life transitions to become higher-level life forms and completely get rid of the nickname of low-level creatures in the devil's mouth.
Only by reaching the life level of a higher being can humans independently and intactly withstand the dimensional turbulence of the level outside hell.
Once becoming a higher life form, the transition potion will lose its effect on improving the life level, but the higher life form will also face the problem of lifespan exhaustion and natural death.
At this time, eating golden apples or taking warp potions becomes a way to increase lifespan.
Although the warp potion itself does not substantially improve the strength of a creature, this potion, or the golden apple that plays a major role in it, has become an enduring spiritual object.
Yes, golden apples.
Most people would try to use golden apples to refine transition potions, but that was only because their life rank had not yet reached the top level, and they hoped to improve their own life rank at the same time.
If you are already a top-level creature, you can extend your natural lifespan by simply eating the golden apple, which is no different from taking a warp potion. You save the other materials for refining the warp potion, and you also avoid losses due to refining failure.
Of course, simply using the golden apple to extend one's natural lifespan is still a long way from Mu Hua's reach. After all, humans are not species like the devil who are born with an extremely high life level. The success or failure of human transition is still greatly affected by personal attributes.
And now, in terms of some abilities that are closer to Mu Hua, he is qualified to learn a top-level ability related to the undead - the Wind of Aging.
Although he may not be able to touch the Color Domain Original Sin, he can also try to get the Color Domain Original Sin skill stone.
He can try to learn all the abilities, including those that humans cannot perfect due to the limitations of their life levels. There is no threshold that only top-level creatures can reach.
On top of the castle tower, after tossing around shamelessly with Lin for a long time, the Xu Delamuhua mentioned earlier was not prepared to touch it for the time being.
That thing is somewhat different from the legends of the previous life. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is the seed of Gaia, the mother of the earth, the Hydra in this world is essentially the same existence as Typhon.
This giant snake has nine heads that spew venom, but even if all nine of its heads are cut off at the same time, it cannot be killed. Every time one of its heads is cut off, it will grow two more heads until it becomes a hundred-headed Typhon that spews poisonous fire.
If you want to kill Hydra completely, you must cut off its hundred heads in the Typhon state. That thing is not a demon, it is a huge and very troublesome monster.
Whether it is poison or fire, it will cause great damage to the external environment. Mu Hua does not want it to harm the environment of his own Abyss Island.
Apart from killing the 100 heads of Typhon, the only known being who can kill Hydra relatively quickly is the swamp dweller Fenrir.
Its fangs carry the world poison that kills all things. A magic trap area was set up on the Island of Abyss twenty or thirty years ago, which was originally prepared to deal with Fenrir.
Compared to Hydra, Mu Hua prefers to fight Fenrir first.
He has repeatedly confirmed from the two demons, Besero and Doris, that the weapon made with Fenrir's fangs can directly poison Hydra in the nine-headed state. (End of this chapter)
