Chapter 45: Chapter 42: The Second Evolution![XM556 Gatling Machine Gun]: Developed by an M country arms dealer, this Gatling gun can be handheld by a single soldier. It is only 55 centimeters in length and weighs 7 kilograms, using NATO standard 5.56mm caliber ammunition. There are two selectable rates of fire: 2000 or 4000 rounds per minute, requiring 3000 demon energy points for exchange. "Exchange successful." The System’s voice seemed somewhat helpless; it had never expected Bai Yan to learn how to exploit loopholes. Host, you’ve changed! You’ve turned to the dark side! Items from the Main Plane and the Abyssal Plane are not transferable to each other, meaning even if Bai Yan could purchase a nuclear bomb on the Main Plane, he would not be able to bring it into the Abyssal Plane. However, Bai Yan could exchange for weapons from the System Store within the Abyssal Plane itself! "Whoosh!" A pitch-black handheld Gatling gun materialized in Bai Yan’s hand, its metallic surface glinting with a cold luster, the dense technology weapon filled with texture! "Ha-ha! What a fine piece of equipment!" Bai Yan caressed the handheld Gatling, unable to conceal his delight, and instructed the System: "The remaining 2000 demon energy points, exchange them all for 5.56 bullets!" One demon energy point can be exchanged for 10 bullets, so 2000 demon energy points can be exchanged for twenty thousand bullets! The XM556 Gatling Machine Gun is a formidable personal weapon, capable of delivering extremely strong firepower suppression by a single person. It’s safe to say, anyone who gets swept by its fire in battle will be reduced to debris in an instant! While its power does not rival that of the Grim Reaper Gatling and, because of its high rate of fire and lower power, the bullet consumption does not decrease, this has slightly reduced the efficiency of the gun. However, to military enthusiasts, this is a trifling matter. For personal firearms, this handheld Gatling is simply insanely overpowered! "The hunt has begun." Licking his lips, Bai Yan’s smile seemed a bit cruel. The Abyss Demon Dragon, watching Bai Yan sneer, couldn’t help but tremble and asked, "Master, do you require the assistance of your humble servant?" "Go stay where it’s cool, don’t get in my way." Bai Yan refused the enticing offer of the Abyss Demon Dragon without hesitation. This reptile was indeed powerful, but alas! the demons it slaughtered were not credited to him; he couldn’t complete the devouring evolution. Moreover, this area belonged to a remote part of this layer of the Abyssal Plane, filled with Lower Demons whose bodily defenses couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the metal storm of bullets. After dismissing the Abyss Demon Dragon, Bai Yan didn’t hesitate to flap his flesh wings and began to fly low to the ground, searching for traces of Lower Demons in the region. What came into view was a blood-red, cracked earth, a gloomy sky that felt oppressive, a place seemingly devoid of life for leagues, with the scent of sulfur pervading the air, and the vague sight of active volcanoes erupting in the distance! "Hu Ya!" In the murky expanse of sky, two Small Inferior Demons spotted Bai Yan not far away and screeched, zooming toward him excitedly, their ferocious and excited faces so ugly that Bai Yan couldn’t help but crack a jubilant wide smile. "The prey is coming!" Bai Yan lifted his hand and accelerated his flight, and as the distance between them narrowed to about ten meters, Bai Yan pulled the trigger. "Ratatat! Ratatat!" The handheld Gatling erupted an unmatched roar, flames flickering, as bullets furiously blasted out of the chamber, screaming towards the two Small Inferior Demons. At such a close range, there was no need to aim. Bai Yan’s strong neural reflexes allowed him to make sure the bullets "Thump! Thump! Thump!" "Thump! Thump! Thump!" The sound of bullets piercing flesh kept coming. While these two Small Inferior Demons had somewhat decent defensive power, stopping one or two bullets, this was a Gatling! A terrifying machine that churns out thousands of bullets in a minute! You might stop one or two bullets, but can you stop hundreds?

Bai Yan treasured his bullets, lightly pulling the trigger before stopping, yet still, many bullets hit the two Small Inferior Demons. "Hu Ya!" After a pitiful and piercing scream, the two Small Inferior Demons turned into a hornet’s nest and fell from the sky. Several Level 1 Little Timid Demons eagerly awaited the "delicacy" falling from the sky on the ground; a fellow demon’s corpse crashing down from above was a pie in the sky, such luck wasn’t common! "Damn it, wanna steal my prey?" Bai Yan flew into a rage, sweeping the skies and dove down, Gatling in hand, beginning to shoot wildly. "Ratatat! Ratatat!" "Thump! Thump! Thump!" The three Little Timid Demons had never seen such a brutal weapon of devastation. The Level 1 Demons could not withstand the barrage of bullets. They couldn’t even scream before collapsing on the ground, black blood oozing everywhere, dead through and through. "Ding! Host has gained new demon energy, all attributes +1!" There were a total of three Little Timid Demons and two Small Inferior Demons, each a level 1 demon, all bringing Bai Yan a reward of +1 to all attributes. After devouring these five level 1 Lower Demons, Bai Yan gained a total reward of +5 to all attributes. "Burp~!" Satisfied, Bai Yan let out a contented belch, feeling an unparalleled power surge through him, an utterly exhilarating sensation! The attribute rewards from devouring level 1 Lower Demons were obviously greater than those from devouring Demon Larvae! Having tasted the sweetness, Bai Yan began his second hunt without delay. Since there weren’t many bullets left for the Grim Reaper Gatling, Bai Yan decided to save some and only use it in encounters with two or more demons of the same level. If it was just a single demon of the same level, with Bai Yan’s current attributes, he could easily overpower it. Moreover, with the Divine Skill, Corrosion Technique, Bai Yan’s combat abilities were significantly enhanced. The Abyssal plane has no clear distinction between day and night. Time passed imperceptibly. When the System alerted Bai Yan that he had been hunting in the secluded abyssal regions for a full three days and nights, Bai Yan had just used up all the Gatling’s bullets. Casually tossing the Gatling into the System’s backpack, Bai Yan felt the boiling power inside him and contentedly commanded the System, "System, open my attribute list." "Whoosh~!" A screen of light popped up, revealing Bai Yan’s attribute information without omission. Name: Bai Yan. True Name: None. Age: Nineteen. Primary Identity: Human. Camp: Lawful Good. Secondary Identity: Abyss Small Inferior Demon. Camp: Chaotic Evil. Physical Attributes: Strength 56, Agility 54, Constitution 56, Intelligence 53. Demon Talent: [Demon’s Eye]Can partially see through objects, sense the relative strength of life forms to a certain extent. It is an evolvable talent, and at its peak, it can perceive through all illusions, seeing the universal truths of all cosmic laws. Demon Skills: [Corrosion Technique]A Small Inferior Demon’s talent skill, a spell-like skill that causes continuous corrosive damage to enemies. Evolvable Points Available: None (Awaiting Evolution state). Demon Energy Available: 155 points. ... Bai Yan’s four major attributes had soared, each increasing by more than twenty points. This meant that within those three days and nights, Bai Yan had devoured more than twenty demons of the same level, engaging in over ten brutal combats! "Ah, it’s better near the Nether River, all those countless Demon Larvae, no need to slowly search for equal-level demons to devour." With a helpless sigh, Bai Yan felt a sense of unsatisfied desire. The Abyssal plane is vast, and though demons are countless, aimlessly searching for and fighting demons to devour is still too slow. If other level 1 Lower Demons knew of Bai Yan’s sigh, they would probably spit blood with envy. For an ordinary level 1 Lower Demon, killing a demon of the same level might involve stalking, tracking, and hiding for several days and nights, culminating in close-quarters combat and a bloody struggle. Even if they managed to kill the other, they’d likely be seriously injured. For Bai Yan to have devoured more than twenty demons in three days and nights is nothing short of a miraculous evolution speed! "System, what does this ’Awaiting Evolution state’ mean?" Bai Yan lightly exclaimed, asking the System. "Host, a demon’s evolution is accomplished by accumulating life entities devoured, not necessarily only through evolution points." The System explained, "The host can reach an ’Awaiting Evolution state’ by accumulating the devour of same-level demons, or acquiring evolution points by devouring powerful and special life entities. Both methods can lead to the host’s evolution." "I see." Bai Yan said with a smile, "So, I can evolve now, right?" "Yes." The System confirmed. Which demon should I choose for my second evolution? Full of anticipation, Bai Yan opened the evolution branch options in the System, eagerly exploring. (Happy birthday to "Pretty Face Representative - Little Crispy" from the Delyria family!
