Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 155: Chapter 124: Flesh Maze

Fifteen minutes ago, at the center high tower.

Due to the reason that Chu Xiu eliminated all three major species in advance, only Corpse Demons directly linked by blood vessels to the Corpse King were moving around inside the high tower.

Thanks to this, the Awakened did not have to spend much effort to safely gather together.

They stood at around the fiftieth floor of the high tower, looking up to gaze at the massive Flesh Maze before them.

For some reason, after they entered, the blood and flesh deformity in the center began to change; the originally massive volume started to contract, even the scattered tumors outside were absorbed and fused together. Although the volume shrank significantly, it resulted in more solid flesh walls.

These flesh walls were like hard brick structures, collectively forming a huge maze spanning hundreds of thousands of cubic meters.

Ye Junlin flapped the Steel Witch’s Wings, circling around the outside of the high tower before returning to the gathering point with a somewhat grave expression.

”Things aren’t right.”

”These blood and flesh have wrapped around the perimeter; I broke through a few gaps and discovered that inside were trapped a large number of Corpse Demons belonging to the Dark Night Monarch, and many Corpse Demons manipulated by the Corpse King, yet the Dark Night Monarch’s main body is nowhere to be found.”

Back then, when the Dark Night Monarch explosively killed three Dark Gold Corpse Ghosts, many people witnessed it, but then the blood moon descended with light, forcibly taking away the Dark Night Monarch, leaving the Awakened completely baffled.

Was it afraid that letting the Dark Night Monarch continue fighting would truly destroy the Corpse King, so the Abyss forcibly removed it?

The crowd did not know exactly what happened, and could only speculate in this manner.

”In any case, what we now must face is a huge problem: after the disappearance of the Dark Night Monarch, its subordinate Corpse Demons became extremely manic, and attacking is inevitable upon encountering, meaning these Corpse Demons that originally assisted us, have now instead become guardians inside the Flesh Maze.”

Ye Junlin’s words made the Awakened present all show somber expressions.

Viewed from the current situation, there are only two ways to pass through.

The first is to start from the bottom and gradually attack, step by step directly dismantling the entire Flesh Maze.

This is very prudent, but the group cannot ensure enough output, after all, they do not have the terrifying output capability of the Dark Night Monarch, dragging on until the Sea of Blood rises would be disastrous.

And the second way is to form teams to penetrate deep into the maze, directly targeting the Corpse King’s core location.

Just now, when Ye Junlin conducted detection, several analysts and staff also took the opportunity to conduct preliminary research on this Flesh Maze.

They found that although these blood and flesh were ”hardened” through some method, greatly enhancing the defense, it also prevented any further free contraction.

In other words, if entering the maze, there is no worry about the Corpse King changing the terrain to divide and conquer, because currently, even the Corpse King likely does not have the ability to continue changing the maze.

That is to say, as long as the maze’s structure is understood, it’s possible to concentrate forces to directly pierce the Corpse King’s heart, attacking its weakest spot!

”After our analysis group jointly discussed, the suggestion is still to fortify the grounds and slowly clear the path.”

”Even though these walls have been hardened, we now have nearly a hundred Warrior Tiers and a large amount of modern firepower, within an hour, the probability of taking down the Corpse King is very high!”

”And if hastily venturing into the maze, whether finding the Corpse King’s core is uncertain, if causing casualties and allowing the Corpse King to unseal its power, that would be disastrous.”

The analyst’s suggestion is very reasonable, but he overlooked one crucial issue, or rather, he did not ignore it, but had no way to resolve it and pretended to ignore it.

That is slowly dismantling flesh walls to accumulate Contribution Points is very slow; if someone boldly ventures into the maze, it’s very easy to directly brush Contribution Points up.

Casually slaying a Corpse Demon under the Corpse King might offer higher Contribution Points than honestly dismantling walls for half an hour!

Under such circumstances, their opinions were, in fact, already inconsequential.

”Miss, I suggest we still follow the analyst’s advice,” Lin Family’s staff continued, ”Even if we can’t match Ye Junlin, with the equipment and artifacts prepared by your family, achieving the top three is surely possible.”

Yet Lin Wanyue merely shot him a sideways glance: ”You’re scared?”

This left the latter extremely helpless.

In reality, Lin Wanyue initially had some patience; the first to lose calm was neither she nor Ye Junlin, but those less powerful small teams.

For them, following the routine compared to damage is certainly not getting into the top thirty, better gamble inside the maze.

With the Anchor Point prices reaching billions, it’s worth a gamble!

And once they took the lead, the larger forces could not remain idle either; if this lets an Anchor Point be seized by forces far below their own, then their early investment would all be in vain.

So in the end, Lin Wanyue and Ye Junlin were also compelled to enter the maze.

Fortunately, the Awakened still retained rationality; they intelligently arranged their routes, communication methods for mutual aid, and many forces teamed up to explore, ensuring not to give the Corpse King an opportunity to break them individually, greatly minimizing the possibility of reducing numbers.

In such an eerie situation of mutual cooperation along with overt and covert struggles, the crowd successively entered the Flesh Maze.

And fifteen minutes later, when Zhang Qingshan led a group of Support Professions to reach the center high tower, only a few Awakened who refused to take risks remained here, along with several analysts.
