Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 301: Chapter 175: Trap and Ambush (2)

Chu Xiu carefully observed the object in his palm; it was actually an extremely small fly-shaped flying monitor!

Making the monitor so small was not easy, and even more difficult was making it capable of matching Chu Xiu’s speed at such a miniature size!

Even though Chu Xiu was not exerting himself fully and was merely traveling at a normal pace, this speed was not something an average Awakened could match.

Moreover, within this less-than-pinky-fingernail-sized monitor, there was inscribed an extremely fine concealment restriction to hide its energy fluctuations.

This was why Chu Xiu had not discovered it sooner.

If not for the reduction in interference when entering the corridor, his Divine Sense might not have noticed this tiny object at all.

”This artifact is definitely valuable. I wonder who is curious about my whereabouts.”

”A King Tier with ill intentions? Or Qin Xiang? To ensure I don’t meet any accidents? Or was it the Extreme Dao that attacked me before?”

Chu Xiu’s expression turned slightly solemn, but there was no fear.

With a forceful grip, he crushed the monitor into powder, then extended his Divine Sense to thoroughly scout the vicinity.

After confirming there were no surveillance items within the range of his Divine Sense, his figure blurred and vanished from the corridor.

This time, Chu Xiu burst forth with extreme speed; even if more monitors were observing from afar, they would be left behind.

And due to this small interlude, he temporarily changed his ambush site.

Soon, Chu Xiu arrived at the second stronghold of another corridor.

This was a large cave spanning five thousand square meters, with two paths forward, both leading to the pit.

The support professionals further widened the outer area and cleared all the rugged rocks inside the cave, forming a broad and level field. They also dug five one-meter-deep trenches and special positions to place fire cannons and mortars.

And the extra rock was not wasted, as they used local materials to set heavy obstacles in front of the passageway to hinder the enemy’s assault speed, while also reinforcing the mountain body to prevent the cave from collapsing under cannon fire.

With these arrangements, this large cave, though slightly cramped, could barely serve as one of the battlefields.

Chu Xiu waved the Hundred Souls Banner, and innumerable ghosts surged out madly, densely filling every trench. Looking down, one could see their transparent soul bodies crowding together.

If all these ghosts materialized, they would completely stuff the cave! If they simultaneously cast spells, the firepower density might surpass that of several artillery battalions combined!

The two Ghost Generals stood guard at the cave entrance like two towering deities.

But Chu Xiu still didn’t stop. Instead, he waved his hand again, and eight Array Flags of the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array were inserted into the cave corners.

Simultaneously, he took out the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine and placed it at the center of the cave.

As soon as it appeared, it seemed to possess intelligence, autonomously drilling through the rock and burrowing underground.

Chu Xiu raised his hand and dripped several drops of Blood Wine onto the seed.

This was Blood Wine he had preemptively crafted using Rasputin’s Gastric Bag, melting down some undesirable equipment.

He couldn’t sell the equipment and artifacts from Lin Wanyue and the others openly, as it would bring trouble, but it was perfect for use now.

This woman had Ultimate quality equipment, and the melted Blood Wine was of extremely high quality.

Soon, a large amount of blood-red vines burst from the ground, and a one-meter-long seedling emerged.

Even though it was only a meter long, Chu Xiu could already feel the powerful restorative power within, and as the battle continued, the vine would devour the corrupted creatures’ flesh and rapidly grow.

Having done all this, he finally stopped with satisfaction.

The only regret was that the corpse refinement in the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch had not yet been born, requiring more flesh than Chu Xiu had anticipated.

But this also made him look forward to the combat power of the two corpse refinements more.

Not thinking further about it, Chu Xiu, fully prepared, waved his hand, and four Pollutants appeared in his hand at once, while the pitch-black Demon Saber coalesced in his right hand.

Casually placing the Pollutants into his bosom, Chu Xiu sat down in place and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour passed without any movement.

Chu Xiu remained unperturbed, continuing to meditate to maintain his state.

However, another quarter passed without any activity; not a single enemy was sighted, nor was there any sound of movement.

”Oh? Can they really hold their ground that well?”

Chu Xiu was a bit surprised; these were old monsters who had lived countless years, not falling into a trap even though he entered alone.

But Chu Xiu was prepared for this.

He patted the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, and Rasputin’s figure appeared in the cave.

As soon as he appeared, he ”thud” kneeled before Chu Xiu, wailing horribly: ”Venerable Lord! You finally remembered me! Do you know how boring it was in that damned bag alone? And you wouldn’t allow me a morsel of flesh!”

”Venerable Lord, I have obediently followed your orders without the slightest disobedience. Let me accompany you from now on! I’ll definitely... huh? Where is this?”

Halfway through his wail, Rasputin seemed to suddenly perceive something and sprang to his feet, looking around warily.

”If the Awakened responsible for scouting the terrain was right, we are about seven kilometers from the pit,” Chu Xiu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Rasputin instantly displayed an expression of extreme terror and screamed: ”You... Venerable Lord, are you insane! Why did you come to such a dangerous place alone?”
