Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Under what circumstances do people feel happiest?

For example, revenge is a choice completely based on the emotional impulse produced by dopamine.

Another kind is killing without any psychological burden.

For example, Chen Zhao now.

Chen Zhao was frantically killing the monsters in this underground lake.

This kind of liberating nature, letting go of self-killing.

Chen Zhao didn't feel the psychological burden of killing someone at all.

There is no compassion in my heart when I kill other small animals.

Chen Zhao's killings were completely random.

There is a completely different ecosystem here from the ground, and there are also completely different biological characteristics from the ground.

One of its characteristics is its size.

Chen Zhao killed dozens of giant creatures, but their bodies were all filled with white liquid, which was diluted earth essence.

None of the monsters were at the level of the Great Nerubian, and none had a golden substance.

The dozens of giant creatures Chen Zhao killed were not as pure as the essence of the earth provided to Chen Zhao by a giant spider demon.

Chen Zhao stopped the killing, and Chen Zhao turned over and over in the lake to check.

There is no more powerful creature in this lake.

Unless Chen Zhao kills all the creatures in the entire underground lake, he won't be able to get a piece of the golden substance.

Apart from the monsters, this underground lake is actually pretty good.

The scenery here, if ordinary tourists can come here, will definitely be an extraordinary experience.

Of course, this situation is impossible to happen. Apart from Chen Zhao, Gaia is probably the only one who has the ability to get here.

It's simply impossible for others to get here.

Chen Zhao also found an underground river on the other side of the lake.

So Chen Zhao planned to explore the underground river.

See if you can get deeper underground.

Not long after Chen Zhao entered the underground river, he reached an underground waterfall.

The drop of more than thirty meters was nothing to Chen Zhao.

But below the waterfall is the lava lake. The water falls on top of the lava lake and evaporates before it falls.

Then water vapor is formed.

The water vapor Chen Zhao encountered before should have been formed here.

Chen Zhao stood above the waterfall and looked at the magma lake below.

The temperature down here is very high. The water in the waterfall evaporates before it reaches the ground. You can imagine how high the temperature is here.

Even Chen Zhao would be roasted in just a minute if he fell into this magma lake.

The high temperature and sky fire realms here are completely different concepts.

Although the temperature in the Sky Fire Domain is also high, Sky Fire can be absorbed.

But the magma here will directly burn Chen Zhao to death.

Chen Zhao's dark liquid can be assimilated with magma.

But this is when there is a lot of dark liquid and little magma.

But how much energy does the large magma lake below contain?

If the dark liquid seeps into the magma, it may not be that the dark liquid assimilates the magma, but that the magma assimilates the dark liquid.

At this time, Chen Zhao saw a figure swimming under the magma.

The figure was more than ten meters long. In terms of body length or body shape, it was not very large.

But from a distance of several hundred meters, Chen Zhao could still feel the creature's aura.

This creature looks a lot like the legendary plesiosaur.

But the plesiosaur lived in water, not in magma.

Chen Zhao silently made a judgment on the strength of the plesiosaur-like creature.

The aura of this plesiosaur is stronger than that of the Great Nerubian.

That means that it contains high-purity earth essence.

Suddenly, the plesiosaur raised its long neck from the magma and spurted a mouthful of magma from its mouth.

Chen Zhao avoided the magma, and the guy discovered him.

Moreover, this guy's character is really irritable, and he actually attacks himself.

But it’s natural to think about it.

All creatures he encounters underground will take the initiative to attack.

The underground world is a world of jungle.

But it was not easy for Chen Zhao to kill that creature.

It wandered in the magma, but Chen Zhao could not resist the magma.

what to do?

Chen Zhao thought for a while, and suddenly he thought of a way.

Widen the underground river and introduce more lake water here to extinguish the magma lake.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to extinguish it forever.

After all, if such a large magma lake can be formed here, it must be connected by ley lines.

But in a short period of time, it is still possible.

After all, the amount of water in the underground lake is very large, and the only outlet is this underground river.

As long as a large amount of water from the underground lake is poured here, the temperature here can be lowered in a very short time.

Chen Zhao turned back along the underground river, and then used violent means to completely destroy the entrance of the underground river.

Chen Zhao used the dark magma like a tunnel boring machine, spinning crazily to cut open the cave in the underground river.

In an instant, a larger amount of lake water poured into the underground river.

However, the amount of water in the underground lake is very large. Even if the underground river is expanded, the water level here has not dropped significantly.

Chen Zhao returned to the waterfall and watched a large amount of water rushing into the magma lake.

A large amount of water vapor mist was formed, covering the sky above the entire magma lake.

There were sizzling sounds everywhere.

Soon, the lake began to take over the magma lake.

Chen Zhao waited for half an hour, and water began to accumulate below.

But all the water below is boiling.

It was just boiling water, so Chen Zhao jumped directly into it.

The current temperature is already within the range that Chen Zhao can accept.

At this moment, a plesiosaur suddenly emerged from the mist and rushed towards Chen Zhao to bite him.

Not dead yet?

Chen Zhao was a little surprised. Originally, Chen Zhao thought that this kind of plesiosaur was adapted to the temperature of magma and should not be able to survive in the water.

But the result was unexpected. This plesiosaur monster was still alive and kicking.

Chen Zhao struck with all his strength and directly smashed the plesiosaur's head into pieces.

Sure enough, a golden substance was found in the plesiosaur's body.

Chen Zhao couldn't help but take in the golden substance.

After the golden substance was absorbed into the body, it blended into Chen Zhao's lower dantian.

This golden substance is high-purity earth essence.

The essence of the earth is not only the main component for cultivating Hunyuan Kongming, but it can also strengthen physical fitness.

In fact, I heard Lao Turtle talk so much about Hunyuan Kongming before. To put it bluntly, it is pill formation.

Chen Zhao was about to condense the essence of the earth when suddenly another larger plesiosaur appeared and bit Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao was startled, there was another one?

No...another one appeared...another one appeared.

Chen Zhao discovered that the entire magma lake was actually the lair of plesiosaurs, and there were countless plesiosaurs here.

After the environment was deliberately destroyed by Chen Zhao, all the plesiosaurs here came out.

These plesiosaurs seemed well adapted to the steamy environment here.

This made Chen Zhao have to suspect that this was not the first time that lake water poured into the magma lake.

It's possible that this was a cycle, so the plesiosaurs were perfectly adapted to this environment.

But there is no point thinking about this now. What Chen Zhao needs to do now is to kill all these plesiosaurs.
