Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Luo Xuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Despite having the information he received from Zhang Wenjie, and despite the fact that there was basically no danger, Luo Xuan still had a feeling that he was about to hit the jackpot.

Luo Xuan now faces two choices: one is to continue forward, but the road ahead is unknown and the risks are great.

The second option is to return the way we came and wait to see if there are any changes.

However, this essentially means giving up any possibility of further development, leaving them only to passively wait for death.

Luo Xuan didn't want to passively face the unknown. Even if there was danger, since he couldn't avoid it, he would bravely face it head-on!

Having prepared himself mentally, Luo Xuan led Azathoth and Lilith deeper into the territory, this time proceeding more slowly and cautiously.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment changed once again.

The once sickly-looking vegetation has improved. Although the color is still strange, mostly dark brown and grayish-yellow, the branches and leaves have become noticeably fuller.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xuan's eyes narrowed. He guessed that this meant the vegetation had become accustomed to the erosion of the abyss's aura and had even made adaptive evolutions.

"If the vegetation is like this, then the monsters living in the forest..."

Before Luo Xuan could finish his thought, a fierce roar interrupted his contemplation.

The next moment, a troll about three meters tall rushed out of the forest.

The troll's tall body was covered with winding dark red patterns, and it held a long-handled bone blade made of unknown beast bones in its hand. Its bloodshot eyes were staring in the direction of Luo Xuan and the others.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xuan's eyes narrowed. He noticed that the patterns on the troll's body were somewhat similar to those on Lilith's body.

Upon seeing the other party's panel, Luo Xuan's pupils constricted, and he immediately gave instructions:

"Lilith's Web!"

"Azathoth's Water Bomb spell will draw its attention!"

The troll before us is incredibly powerful and is at a critical juncture in its demonic transformation.

Luo Xuan needs to defeat it before it completes its transformation, otherwise it will become even more troublesome.

Azathoth unleashed water projectiles with both hands, while Lilith spat out a spider web.

"Gurgle!"

Faced with the attack, the troll roared and swung its bone blade at the water bullets and spider webs.

The bone blade cleaved through the first water bullet, but it didn't have time to strike the second one; the troll's head was hit by a water bullet.

At the same time, a sticky spider web covered the troll's body.

The troll, enraged by the attack, brandished its stone blade and lunged at Azathoth.

The spiderwebs on its body were quickly torn apart and hung limply over its body as it swung its thick arms.

"Lilith sprayed venom and spider webs into its face, especially its eyes and mouth."

Seeing that the spider web's slowing effect was not good, Luo Xuan immediately changed his plan and switched to interference.

Meanwhile, Azathoth actively drew the trolls' attention, thus pulling the battlefield further away.

The troll roared and slashed at Azathoth with his bone blade, but his three-meter height was no longer an advantage.

In order to attack Azathoth, the troll had to bend over, which made its already slow speed even slower.

Luo Xuan astutely seized upon this weakness of the trolls, and he even had Azathoth lower his body voluntarily.

For Azathoth, who is a water elemental, this was just a matter of a thought.

Azathoth, which was originally at the troll's waist, suddenly dropped to knee height, forcing the troll to crouch down to attack.

By the time the troll crouched down, Azathoth had already run out of the troll's attack range.

Through this constant pulling and tugging, the troll's injuries worsened, and after a while, it became breathless.

However, Luo Xuan, who had experience fighting skeleton warriors, did not let his guard down.

The troll's prominent Super Regeneration skill on its panel is no mere decoration; it's clearly a healing skill.

"Azathoth, Lilith, be careful, the opponent has regenerative abilities."

Azathoth, reminded by Luo Xuan, became even more cautious, while Lilith kept a close eye on the trolls' movements, ready to distance herself at any moment.

After a while, the troll suddenly knelt on one knee, propped himself up with his sword in one hand, and then roared to the sky.

Luo Xuan noticed that the dark red magic patterns that were originally only located on the troll's torso spread rapidly and soon covered its entire body.

Meanwhile, the injuries sustained in the previous battle are also recovering rapidly.

As flesh and blood grew and wounds healed, its momentum became even stronger than before.

Luo Xuan then glanced at the troll's panel and found that the troll had completed its demonic transformation, and the panel had undergone tremendous changes.

His name changed to [Demonized Troll], his race changed to Demon, and even his level increased by one level, reaching level 9, the peak of the second tier.

Seeing the demonized troll stand up again, its aura surging, and even faintly visible dark red demonic energy surrounding it, Luo Xuan quickly racked his brains, thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

While Luo Xuan was pondering, Azathoth, as before, tried to attract the troll's attention to keep him occupied.

But unexpectedly, the troll's speed suddenly increased significantly, and it slashed across Azathoth's body with a horizontal slash.

The next moment, due to inertia, the troll stumbled and almost fell.

This caused both Azathoth and the troll to pause for a moment, both of them somewhat stunned.

The troll looked at its bone blade in confusion. It hadn't known this before because it hadn't hit anything, but now that it had, it realized that the blue enemy in front of it was as disgusting as a slime.

Although Azathoth was slashed, its elemental body gives it high resistance to pure physical attacks.

In addition to his relatively good health and passive regeneration ability, the troll's attack just now did not do much damage to Azathoth.

However, the two sides only hesitated for a short while before resuming their fight.

Water bullets, bone blades, giant waves, and roars mingled together.

Because of the troll's dark-patterned body, it has good resistance to poisons, so Lilith's venom has virtually no effect on the troll.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, footsteps and shouts suddenly came from another direction.

"Hurry, I heard that troll's roar, it must be up ahead!"

A voice filled with excitement and eagerness reached Luo Xuan's ears.
