Inside the cave at the end of Death Valley.
Several holy mages gathered together and carefully transplanted a large section of the demonic snake they had just killed, along with its demonic core, onto the back of a dark mage.
On the experimental table, there was a large amount of demonic aura, and a continuous stream of liquid was being injected into the mage's body, which was also filled with some life force.
Several water-based archmages were nearby, casting water-based healing spells to accelerate the healing of wounds.
On the experimental table, the holy mage was using his divine sense to forcibly merge the blood of both individuals, striving to connect with its magical channels.
The surgery went smoothly, and so far, there have been no abnormalities.
Next, as long as he can sense the demon core, mobilize the power of the inscriptions on it, and keep his consciousness clear, the transplantation experiment can be declared a success.
At this moment, the holy mages held their breath and watched the movements on the experimental table, patiently waiting and not daring to interfere with the experimental subjects' actions in the slightest.
Time passed slowly, and his condition became increasingly stable. The passage to the demonic serpent was connected, and the demonic core reacted, flashing with dark light; success was imminent.
Every researcher wore an excited smile. If this transplant experiment succeeded on the first try, it would be the most exciting result for them.
Inscriptions are no longer something unique to that woman!
However, the moment the holy mage on the experimental table touched the core of the magic core, his smiling face instantly turned pale.
That wasn't a dark-element magic core, but an earth-element one! What bastard actually transplanted an earth-element magic core into him? This is going to kill him!
"Ugh, you bastards!"
Immediately afterwards, his cries came, trying to break free from that influence. At this moment, the abyss's aura had already taken advantage of his unpreparedness and invaded his consciousness, triggering the hidden dangers that had accumulated in the past.
A violent aura swept out, instantly stunning all the onlookers, especially the researchers who had been preparing to cheer, who were now ashen-faced with fear.
This is no Grand Magister; the one above is a being standing at the pinnacle of human strength, yet he couldn't even protect his divine sense!
Nearly ten holy mages around tried to suppress this change, but wave after wave of tremors of magical energy, combined with the enhancement of the earth-type tremor inscription, caused the experimenter to completely erupt, and the entire cave began to shake.
"Quick, kill him, or this place will be destroyed!" Someone had already pulled out a staff.
"You bastards, why did you choose an earth-type magic core!" A piercing divine thought transmission shook several archmages, causing them to bleed from their seven orifices.
Explosive earth energy mixed with dark energy filled the entire space. Before they could react, more explosions came from inside the cave, and the entire cave began to collapse rapidly.
The test subjects, who were originally restrained, escaped using earth magic due to the negligence of these people. Several people hurriedly chased after them, and many more rushed outside.
The darkness withered, the fire blazed, and the earth cracked—the forbidden spells that were successively activated completely destroyed the cave. Many demons and human mages who couldn't escape were buried deep within the crumbling cave.
The original vertical canyon wall was also blasted down in a long section, leaving behind a pile of ruins.
The two people dispatched by the Demon Sealing Tower were coldly watching the researchers who had escaped with them, waiting for their explanation.
After all, they hadn't found any trace of outsiders within a radius of hundreds of miles; the problem could only lie with these people. A forbidden spell! Who the hell released a forbidden spell inside?!
Furthermore, how dare they transplant magic cores from other systems into the holy mages we provided?
The leading holy mage knelt down in front of the two and cried out loudly.
"My lord, that demonic serpent is clearly the Shadow Serpent. I don't know who switched it."
"Besides you, there are probably very few people here who know about this! Tell me, who brought the snake here?"
Immediately, a holy mage stepped forward tremblingly and knelt down on the ground.
"Sir, I don't know either. I checked just a while ago and didn't find anything unusual about those magical beasts!"
"Then go down and investigate the situation of those magical beasts. If the results are unsatisfactory, you'll be the next subject of the experiment!"
"You stay with him, don't let him get away!"
The two people from the Demon Sealing Tower pointed to the ruins below, saying that clearing them would take time, so they should first look for other magical beasts that could be transplanted.
They weren't particularly disappointed that they were only using the experimental site. Their anger stemmed from the failed experiment and the wasted use of some Life Spring.
Just then, the canyon below began to shake again, and a half-human, half-demon creature, completely corrupted by evil, rushed out, a human corpse in its mouth.
The most troublesome result still occurred: the experimental subject was completely demonized and managed to escape despite the suppression from those earth-elemental holy mages.
Once these demonic creatures have their divine sense completely eroded, they will instinctively run towards the Abyss of Demons.
"Kill them!"
After saying that, the two of them joined the fight, trying to block its escape route.
As a result, the demon disappeared again using Shadow Escape and Earth Escape, even faster than the two of them!
It actually broke free from the suppression of so many mages and, using the soil and rocks beneath its feet, fled towards the Crimson Desert.
After tracking it for a while, the group lost sight of it, leaving only a faint trace of the Demon Abyss.
On the other side.
Luo Fan had already arrived near Shadow Valley, nestled among the mountains on the edge of the desert, based on a rough map of the continent.
The area is full of barren rocks, and there is no sign of human activity.
As the canyon stretched through the mountain crevice, Luo Fan sensed the familiar dark element. This place was indeed very suitable for dark mages to live in; he just wondered what kind of scenery lay within the mountain crevice.
Speaking of which, Luo Fan didn't see any trace of the manor that the succubus had promised. There were only a few small villages scattered around dozens of kilometers away.
After searching the area outside without finding any trace of the succubus, Luo Fan slipped into the canyon.
After going several hundred meters deeper, there was a large hall that resembled a cave, with stone caves of various sizes scattered around it, somewhat like an underground city, except that there was no sign of any magical beasts.
After channeling his divine sense and finding the main direction, Luo Fan continued forward.
Surprisingly, some people were still living in the dark stone cave, many of them deep in meditation, unaware of Luo Fan's arrival.
After traveling several kilometers, they found a castle-like structure inside a huge cave, which was concealed using a hiding formation.
After passing through the formation, Luo Fan finally sensed some familiar auras.
"Oh, it's you, little one. What are you doing here?"
A languid voice drifted over, and soon the succubus appeared before him, still as alluring as ever. Only her level had increased to 90, a full 20 levels higher than the last time he'd seen her.
"Come check if the manor is finished! Also, I have good news for you: your master has left the tower!"
After surveying the situation, Luo Fan jumped onto her as if they were old friends. Sure enough, there was a faint aura of the Demon Abyss. Could there be a path leading to the Demon Abyss here?
“I know, she should have also comprehended the inscriptions, even I received some feedback.”
"Could it be that she sent you to supervise me?" After saying that, she looked outside, but did not sense the master's presence.
Just as Luo Fan was about to continue chatting, he suddenly sensed a guy rushing towards him, while the succubus had already taken action, carrying him deeper into the area.
