I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 23 Tunnel Discovery
After the abyss creatures are killed, the parts of the body that cannot be absorbed will dissipate into the air along with the soul.

These dissipated soul fragments, together with the souls absorbed by the Styx from the outside world, will either condense into soul stones and fall directly, or part of them will randomly settle into the ground under the rules of the abyss and exist in the form of soul stone veins. The creatures of the abyss were discovered and absorbed again.

It can be regarded as a clear understanding of recycling.

Although the absorption efficiency of Soul Stone is much higher than that of Soul Coin, it cannot achieve 100% absorption after all.

Part of the soul power diffused during this absorption process will be converted into abyss power by the rules of the abyss and gradually spread to the outside world. This causes the nearby valley area to gain more experience points faster than other places.

After Jiang Fan saw the fragments of the soul stone at this time, he had already figured everything out.

No wonder the insect demon would place the tribe's nest in this mountain, absorbing soul stones every day, and it would be difficult to advance even if you want to!
Looking at the half-explored stone wall in front of me, the fragments embedded in it shone with strange light, as if telling their mystery and allure.

Jiang Fan felt hot for a moment.

When I sensed it in the outer hall before, I felt that the aura coming out of this tunnel was very strong. Now that I think about it carefully, there must be many soul stones inside.

Thinking of this, the rough breath in Jiang Fan's nostrils seemed to become hotter.

He held the Skeleton Scythe, looked at the dark outline inside the tunnel, gritted his teeth, crossed the rock wall sideways and continued walking deeper.

As the saying goes, thieves never make mistakes!
Although Jiang Fan, as the soul of the human race, still prefers to be cautious, but now that he is here, how can he go back empty-handed.

I don’t even dare to go in and take a look. Isn’t this a joke!

Stepping into the tunnel behind the stone wall, a cold and old atmosphere hit his face again, making Jiang Fan's strong demonic body shiver.

His steady footsteps echoed in the tunnel. Although Jiang Fan deliberately lowered his feet when he lifted them up, the sound was still very loud in the tunnel.

The empty tunnel was silent and deep, with not a single insect demon in sight.

There were more scattered fragments scattered everywhere, densely scattered on the ground and rock walls, and the faint light dotted the dark cave like stars.

As the distance traveled deeper and deeper, Jiang Fan occasionally even found some slightly larger soul stone fragments.

He leaned over and picked up the stone and tried it silently. Sure enough, it could be absorbed!

And the absorption efficiency is much higher than that of soul coins.

【Experience +3】

【Experience +12】

【Experience +5】

Pieces of broken soul stones were continuously absorbed by Jiang Fan, turning into experience points and beating in the panel bar. His whole body also felt particularly comfortable because he had absorbed such pure soul power. Even the environment in the tunnel brought him The feeling of depression seems to have been diluted a lot.

Jiang Fan even discovered that when he was a master player in his previous life, the efficiency of absorbing experience points from soul stones was far less efficient than it is now.

When he was at the golden level in his previous life, Jiang Fan also came to the abyss plane to play jungle, and naturally he also killed monsters and exploded soul stones.But at that time, one unit of soul stone could only provide him with about 1 experience points.

And now according to the units corresponding to these fragments, his absorption efficiency can almost reach 1 points per unit!

"Could it be the influence of the natal talent?" Jiang Fan thought about the effect of the natal talent on his panel. He had some guesses in his mind, but he was not completely sure.

He kept moving forward, only occasionally stopping to pick up larger soul stones when he encountered them.

Later, it was no longer even absorbed on the spot, but directly stored in the panel grid.

Soul stones, like material ores, can be stacked together in the panel space and only occupy one grid, which is very convenient.

It's just that the stones picked up so far are all broken stones, and the numerical units included in the panel only increase by a few tenths every time.

After advancing like this for nearly 2 minutes, Jiang Fan suddenly stopped.

Without him, sporadic noises suddenly came from behind the corner ahead, and it seemed that they had finally reached the end of the tunnel.

Jiang Fan looked at the panel again. The bright part of the map showed that four small red dots representing monsters appeared more than 20 meters to the right, which were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

Jiang Fan paused and kept quiet, carefully considering various possibilities in his mind.

Although the insect demons we encountered before were weak and pitiful, they were no better than before.

He is now in the lair of the insect demon clan.

Looking at the hollowing out of the mountain and the depth of the tunnel excavation, Jiang Fan felt that the scale of this insect demon tribe must be quite large. There must be tens of thousands of them.

Although the insect demons did not have the ability to communicate verbally at the low level, the great will of the abyss was still relatively "fair" and gave them the ability to communicate spiritually.

This means that once Jiang Fan decides to take action, he must kill these four insect demons at an extremely fast speed.Otherwise, once they escape or are in a stalemate, causing fighting sounds and mental fluctuations to be transmitted, the combat units from the insect demon tribe will definitely swarm in. By then, the monster swarms will pour in overwhelmingly, and Jiang Fan will face who knows how many monsters. Four heads.

Jiang Fan listened intently to the sounds in the distance and continued to analyze in his mind.

The insect demon that has occupied this soul stone vein for a long time, needless to say, must have regarded it as one of its own.

So what will Jiang Fan encounter in the chaotic abyss plane, a burglar who is considered a severe prisoner even in Blue Star?
I'm afraid it won't be on the Abyss headlines tomorrow!
"Shocking: The corpse of an unknown demon was found in a remote cave, and it was suspected that he had experienced something before his death."

Furthermore, with the huge number of insect demons, Jiang Fan doesn't believe that they are all ordinary mobs and not even an elite creature?

If he is entangled by another elite insect demon again, the battle will be unable to be resolved for a while, and Jiang Fan will have a narrow escape.

In just a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Jiang Fan's heart, but he knew that he must stay calm now and not let his emotions affect his decision.

He squinted his eyes slightly, trying to calm himself down and not think about those terrible situations.At the same time, the body is tense, ready to deal with any crisis that may arise.

At this moment, Jiang Fan felt that he was extremely weak. He had no functional guarantee for player resurrection, no props for random transmission, and no reliable teammates who were trustworthy and could back each other up. He only had himself...

Only one person can face this complicated and unknown dangerous situation!
Retreat or advance? ?
One wrong move and there could be an abyss ahead!
