Inside the Abyssal Blood Pool.

Soul worms crawled out one by one, transforming into a dense mass. Watching them made one feel a bit horrified.

Su Ziyu obtained 1200 soul points from the territory of the witch demon. The quantity of souls was massive, but their quality was generally quite average, with human-level souls being sparse. The majority were souls of kobolds and goblin-like creatures. These creatures' souls were very weak, especially goblins, which were like wild grass, sprouting a large batch every year.

A human being needs eighteen years to grow up, and without war or disease, it might take decades before they die. The average life expectancy of goblins roaming the wilderness might not even be five years.

This destined their souls to be fragile, with a very low probability of birthing professionals.

However, for Su Ziyu, that didn't matter, because only high-quality souls were worth nurturing into middle to high-tier demons. The inferior souls, at most, could evolve into frenzy demons.

10 points of Power of Slaughter to hatch a small demon.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ziyu had amassed a large number of labor units. These small demons were far too weak to be useful in battle, so they were kept at the base camp to perform laborious tasks.

——"Blacksmith Shop (Building Unit): Demons imitate devils to create blacksmith shops, which can forge some regular weapons and equipment. Can be upgraded to an armory."

——"Military Camp (Building Unit): A place for training demons, discipline +1."

——"Dueling Arena (Building Unit): Demons long to engage in slaughter within the dueling arena, morale +1, chance of rebellion reduced."

——"Abyss Transformation Pool (Building Unit): Converts nearby land into Abyssal Land, demon gene +10."

——"Tavern (Building Unit): An entertainment venue specifically for middle to high-tier demons, morale +1, chance of rebellion reduced."

The demon constructions were very simple.

The primary function of entertainment buildings is to boost morale and reduce rebellion. Su Ziyu hadn't noticed any signs of rebellion yet, but once the number of demons increased, the entire base camp felt a bit chaotic.

He needed to designate some areas.

Su Ziyu converted a piece of land at the outermost circle into a residential area for small demons. These small demons didn't need houses; give them a patch of land, and they would find a place to rest. The frenzy demons and sharp claw demons were mainly stationed in the military camp, and the blacksmith shop was placed next to the camp. The dueling arena was temporarily not considered, even if there were system blueprints; one wouldn't know how long it would take to build. The tavern, however, could be considered because the loyalty of middle to high-tier demons is essential.

The Abyss Transformation Pool must be built next to the Abyssal Blood Pool; one Abyssal Blood Pool can only build one transformation pool.

It would continuously expand the range of Abyssal Land.

Over a thousand small demons were sent off by Su Ziyu to do laborious tasks.

"Master."

Soon, the enchanting demon lieutenant appeared beside Su Ziyu, observing him as he rested upon a stone, and eagerly approached, skillfully kneading his shoulders: "You now need a demon palace to match your status!"

"This can instill fear in the other demons."

Demon Palace?

How long would it take to build such a large structure?

"Not for now. After finishing these constructions, you can lead a team to build a lord's mansion," Su Ziyu directly shook his head, refusing, then inquired, "How's the exploration on the west side going?"

He dispatched abyssal spies to investigate the territory.

"We've discovered minotaurs, ogres, lizard folks, and two-legged flying dragons," the enchanting demon lieutenant replied obediently, "Recently, the minotaurs are waging war against the ogres, seemingly because the ogre leader likes to eat beef."

The vassal races of giant dragons are entirely free-ranging.

They don't manage their vassals, letting them reproduce as they please, hence the powerful vassal races oppress the weaker ones, occasionally leading to internal conflicts.

But these giant dragons usually don't interfere; they don't care even if the vassal races are obliterated.

If needed, they can recruit another batch, move to a different location; what the dragons care more about are their treasures, spending most of their time in slumber.

"Are there many?" Su Ziyu continued to ask.

"There aren't many minotaurs," the enchanting demon lieutenant softly replied, "But there are quite a few ogres and lizard folks. As for two-legged flying dragons, it's unclear; they are guards of that red dragon and all nest near the dragon nest."

Kobolds are all situated at the outermost area, being the most senior of the sycophants, their status is the lowest.

"Got it. You may leave," Su Ziyu nodded.

The red dragon is his next target.

The choice of targeting the red dragon wasn't merely because Su Ziyu's territory needed expansion; he also harbored a bit of personal ambition.

——Dragon Blood Baptism!

Let alone whether this demon body could undergo dragon blood baptism, since Su Ziyu could open his Other Dimensional Space, he could preserve the dragon blood in his private space.

It was a red dragon after all!

One of the most powerful among the five-colored dragons, and it was a red dragon of adult age!

If Su Ziyu had approached with his own form, there would be no chance of victory, not even an anti-material sniper rifle could take it down. In contrast, the five-colored true dragons are leagues beyond the two-legged flying dragon Su Ziyu used previously, and one wonders how great an enhancement after undergoing dragon blood baptism.

This mission's success remains uncertain, as until now, Su Ziyu has not encountered any devils.

As long as the red dragon is dealt with.

Regardless of the mission's success or failure, he can take a risk, because he has already secured a good enough reward; failing to win the Death God's prize would not be a loss.

As long as the minimum guaranteed benefit is secured, he could relentlessly push forward.

A day passed quickly.

The next day, Su Ziyu marched his demon army towards the Land of Burial.

This time, he played it smart.

He didn't bring any small demons, only a few sharp claw demons, because elite units might be upgraded.

The main force today was frenzy demons; Su Ziyu had incubated nearly fifty frenzy demons, while the number of other middle-tier demons remained the same, temporarily lacking sufficient demon genes, needing to wait for the Abyss Transformation Pool accumulation, or hunt wild demons.

Soon.

The towering Soul Summoning Tower appeared again in sight.

However, this time, the blue flame atop it seemed to have dimmed a bit, and upon closer inspection, all the undead killed yesterday had resurrected again.

"Great! Time for monster hunting again!" Su Ziyu shifted positions and continued hunting.

He remained cautious.

After all, the witch demon had yet to be seen; if things turned dire, he could immediately teleport and retreat, as middle-tier demons possess short-distance teleportation abilities.

"Here again!"

"Huh? Just this many demons today?" an apparition floated in the distance, muttering, "These demons are so stubborn! Just this many cannot possibly challenge a powerful witch demon!"
