chapter 71: demon hot spring

Roy felt very puzzled about the Abyss.

According to his understanding, if the Abyss was on a planet, then the deeper the Abyss, the closer to the world’s core, the weaker the gravity should be. Although Roy had not been a top student, and his high school physics knowledge had long returned to his teachers, he still knew this reasoning.

But the current situation was that the lower the Abyss, the stronger the gravity he felt. This anti-scientific situation made Roy confused about what the Abyss was. Was it on a planet, or was it in a separate space?

Roy was doubtful but was not too caught up in it. If it was anti-science, then so be it. He did not expect to become a scientist among the demons anyway.

After landing on the ground, the feeling from Roy’s feet told him that the ground here was much hotter than in the upper Abyss. Demons were resistant to heat, but the scorching sensation he felt when he stepped on the ground made him wonder if he should bring forward his plans to get armor or at least get himself a pair of boots.

Roy’s legs had forward joints, and his feet were animal-shaped ones with claws. When he was standing, his feet were almost all touching the ground, and the temperature he felt was naturally strong. Instead, it was demon hooves with hoof walls covering the toes that would adapt well in this environment. However, Roy had never thought about changing his feet because those demon hooves typically had reverse joint legs, and the reverse-joint legs were more suitable for traveling at low postures, which was crawling. Compared to that, Roy preferred to stand and walk.

In addition to the dimmer light and higher temperature, the most troublesome thing was the high gravity. Roy felt heavy all over, as though he had a load of hundreds of kilograms tied to him, and even his movements were a bit difficult.

Of course, Roy knew that the high-gravity environment was beneficial for training his muscle strength. Once his body adapted to this heavier burden, the energy supply of his cells to his body would also increase, making Roy look forward to it. Therefore, the first thing he planned to do after entering the middle Abyss was to adapt to the gravity here.

During the next four hours, Roy did not rush to run far. He stayed where he was and stretched his limbs continuously, running with Fat Tiger, chasing each other.

Fat Tiger seemed to be less affected by the high gravity here. Perhaps it was because he was a creature that walked on four legs, and his natural center of gravity was lower, allowing him to adapt quickly.

While Roy was sighing, he suddenly found that his strength attribute had increased by one on the system interface!

Huh? What’s happening? Even if adapting to the high gravity environment can improve my physical strength, isn’t this a little too fast? I’ve only been here for four hours!

After careful study, Roy realized that it was unexpectedly due to the T-Virus!

Because he used the T-Virus before, other than optimizing his cells, it had also provided him with the possibility of evolution. When the external environment changed drastically, the T-Virus would stimulate his body’s cells to adapt and evolve. Like this, Roy’s strength attribute, which had stopped growing in the upper Abyss, was improving once again.

With the advantage of the T-Virus, Roy adapted to the environment of the middle Abyss at tens of times faster than other demons. If it were any other low-rank demon that had just entered here, it would not have been as fast as Roy!

After discovering this, Roy felt fortunate. It was indeed the correct decision to have made this perfect T-Virus.

It was not without reason that middle-rank demons were stronger than low-rank demons. Even middle-rank demons not known for physical strength could still build strong bodies in such high gravity.
