Wizard Immortal

Chapter 749 On the Possibility of Farming in the Abyss

The intelligence of the abyssal demons was far greater than Adir had imagined.

After arriving in the Abyss, Adir conducted numerous experiments in his spare time, testing every aspect of the demons.

To Adir's surprise, demons were not only exceptionally intelligent, but they also surpassed many races he knew.

Demons are far more intelligent than ordinary humans.

Although they cannot be compared to races like elves, there are reasons for that.

Elves are a race with a very long lifespan, often taking several decades to grow from infancy to adulthood. For elves with ancient bloodlines, it may take hundreds of years to complete this process.

Over hundreds of years, even if one's innate intelligence is not particularly high, one's intellectual abilities will gradually improve over time.

At least compared to humans who mature in just one or two decades, elves are slightly more intelligent.

However, the intelligence of the abyssal demons is much higher than that of humans, and overall they can be compared with elves.

This result surprised Adir greatly.

He originally thought that the intelligence of chaotic creatures like the Abyss Demons, even if not lacking, couldn't be very strong.

But now it seems that chaos itself is simply nature, and has little to do with the intelligence of living beings.

Just like some crazy people often have very high IQs.

Nature and wisdom are relatively separate entities and cannot be generalized.

The intelligence of the abyssal demons is also evident before our eyes.

Just like the castle right in front of us.

During the construction of this castle, Adir did not interfere much, only handing over some of the blueprints and information to the demons so they could study them on their own.

And they actually figured it out.

When a large amount of architectural drawings and data were placed in front of Adir, his expression was quite interesting.

Surprised as he was, Adir was also quite interested in using demons as a source of labor, to some extent.

Highly intelligent labor is a very valuable resource.

In the wizarding world, highly intelligent races and slaves are often coveted by many wizards.

If used properly, they can be of immense value in the hands of wizards.

For Adir, these abyssal demons were undoubtedly excellent candidates for assistants.

On the one hand, they are very intelligent.

Once their chaotic nature is eliminated, and you find the right way to get them to work quietly and diligently, the power they can unleash will surprise you.

Of course, there are many races with high intelligence; at least the elves of Adir themselves are quite good.

However, compared to the elves born from Adir, the abyssal demons have one major advantage.

cheap!

Yes, compared to elves, abyssal demons are very cheap.

Even if we take a short time, it takes at least fifty or sixty years for an elf to grow from birth to adulthood.

Humans have an even greater advantage in this regard; they only need one or two decades to reach maturity, which is less than half that of the elves.

But compared to the demon race, they are nothing.

What is the growth cycle of an Abyss Demon?

Less than a year.

It takes less than a year for a demon to hatch from its initial demon worm stage and grow into a mature lesser demon.

To be precise, it is even much lower than that number.

the reason is simple.

Unlike elves and humans, demons do not need time to mature and grow.

Their growth is built on bloody slaughter. As long as they keep killing and plundering power from other demons to mature their own soul fragments, they can quickly enter the mature stage.

The growth and development periods required for ordinary life are completely unnecessary for them.

The simplest example is Adir himself.

How long has it taken him to grow from the initial demon worm to what he is now?

A year? Half a year?

It's not just two or three months.

In just two or three months, Adir grew from a newly born demon worm into a mature demon over two meters tall.

If this happened to humans, they would probably have been considered freaks long ago.

In ancient times, such a person would have been drowned in a pig cage or burned alive.

But this is quite common in the abyss.

As mentioned in the previous examples, demons are more idealistic than materialistic beings.

Their initial existence originated from a fragment of the soul of another life form, and their subsequent growth only required the continuous development and growth of this fragment of soul.

As for their physical bodies, they are not that important to them. As long as their souls can grow, they can catch up quickly and avoid making it a weakness.

For Adir, this characteristic became their greatest advantage.

A race with an extremely short maturation period, an enormous supply, and extremely high intelligence is placed before you. What more could you ask for?

As for the so-called chaotic nature, it is merely a minor flaw.

Elves and humans aren't mixed up, but is it worth it?

Because of these qualities of demons, Adir began his plan.

His plan was nothing other than a series of projects developed specifically targeting the various characteristics of demons.

For example, forming a group of demon warriors to become their own forces, or attempting to transform the flesh and soul of demons and conduct experiments that were impossible in the past.

Another attempt was to implant witchcraft templates into the flesh and blood of demons, enabling them to gain magical power.

If all these projects can be accomplished, Adir's power will definitely expand immediately.

In fact, even now, Adir's forces are already quite formidable.

In just two or three months, he built a formidable force in the abyss and carved out a territory there.

Although this place is a godforsaken place, it is still my own territory.

Either way, it's something to look forward to.

"Next target..."

Sitting at his desk, Adir removed the thick stack of documents, revealing the bottom drawing.

The drawings were pale yellow and appeared to be made of a unique type of paper. Some of the author had written on them, roughly stating the name of the project.

"On the recycling and reuse of abyssal land..."

In layman's terms, it's farming.

It's just farming in the abyss.

If the idea of ​​farming in the abyss were to be uttered, it would likely be met with ridicule.

A large group of knowledgeable and highly educated mages would pat Adir on the head with books and tell him how unrealistic his idea was.

However, after conducting his own research, Adir found that it was still feasible.

In the normal world, plants can grow on the ground because of the various elements contained in the soil and the energy provided by sunlight.

These abysses also contain such land, and because of the constant fighting and the fact that it has never been cultivated, the land in the abysses is far more fertile than the land in other places.

As for the source of energy, that is a challenge, but alternatives can be found.

The reason why most areas in the abyss are devoid of vegetation is mainly due to the influence of the abyssal power.

The power of the abyss is chaotic and violent, omnipresent in the abyss world, permeating the entire world.

Beneath the surface of the Abyss World lies an equally vast abyssal power, entrenched in this place and impossible to eradicate.

Under the influence of this abyssal power, ordinary crops simply cannot survive in the abyss; they will be killed directly by that chaotic abyssal power without any chance of survival.

This is why there are no plants in the abyss.

As for normal evolution, allowing plants to survive in the abyss world is simply an impractical measure.

The evolution of life also follows fundamental principles.

Even if it wants to evolve, it must at least have a prototype.

Given the terrifying power of the Abyss World, any alien life form would be completely killed upon entering, leaving no room for evolution.

Adir's other incarnation, Yasuo, couldn't hold on for long when he first arrived in the Abyss. He had to use the power of the world's origin to protect himself from corruption.

Even Adir's clones are like this, so how could ordinary creatures possibly adapt?

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for other life forms to exist in the abyss.

After much deliberation, Adir decided to focus his breakthrough efforts on demons.

Demons are native to the abyss. If there is any creature in the world that is most adaptable to the abyss, it must be the demons.

Then another question arose.

No matter what, a demon is still a living being. How can you bury it in the ground and then let it keep growing back?

This is a very difficult problem, but Adir has some ideas for how to solve it.

"Fusing demonic flesh and blood cells with the cells of some extraordinary plants, and extracting the bloodline patterns of both, might be the way to achieve this..."

Adir was studying these things with great interest, all by himself.

In the entire material world, Adir might not dare to say anything in other areas.

But when it comes to the realm of bloodlines, even if Adir wouldn't dare claim to be number one, he's at least among the top.

After all, he initially made his fortune by refining bloodlines.

Later in life, the Bloodline Manual also proved to be of great help to him.

This is just a return to old ways.

Just as Adir was enthusiastically farming, an unfamiliar force appeared outside his territory.
