Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 326: Chapter 183: Purging Corrupted Creatures (Part 4)

Chu Xiu chuckled, his figure drifting backward, concealing himself in the darkness.

Su Jinyu sighed deeply, holding her forehead. Indeed, this was the person she was familiar with.

However, thinking about the Resurrection Wine, Su Jinyu had no temper left. She could only do her best to lay down enough Rune Arrays nearby to ensure her own safety.

Fortunately, until everyone had completely swept the predetermined route, the Calamity did not dispatch more people to attack Chu Xiu. Whether due to certain restrictions or because they suffered a huge loss from him, they dared not act recklessly again.

This naturally allowed Su Jinyu to sigh in relief, while Chu Xiu was rather disappointed.

”It seems they’ve further adopted a turtle strategy, concentrating their Elites deeper underground.”

”On the surface, they’ve only left behind small teams using explosives to stall and harass, consuming our status while also buying time.”

Chu Xiu mused silently.

At that moment, Zhang Qingshan rode back on the Giant Dragon to report.

”Captain, we’ve found the entrance leading underground. Miss Su was right, there’s indeed an elevator passage under that tall building leading deeper down.”

”The entire route has been explored, and the entrance is found. It’s time to return to the base.”

Chu Xiu glanced at him.

After the sweep, his Experience Points surged again, almost reaching Level 5, and he’d gained at least two thousand Cause and Effect Points.

Guan Ke’s reconnaissance Ability, combined with the Giant Dragon’s high mobility and destructive power, had earned him quite a substantial gain this time.

Guan Ke also smoothly leveled up, collecting numerous weapons. The heavy machine guns could be directly used mounted on Mechanical dogs, and she dismantled heavy weapons into parts. Once modified and reassembled back at the base, they could be used, reaping even more rewards than Zhang Qingshan, her expression beaming with joy.

But Chu Xiu was not satisfied.

He just gained six thousand Cause and Effect Points and a pile of useless junk this time.

The Perfection of Burning Blood Golden Eyes required nearly eighty thousand Cause and Effect Points, while the last layer of Golden Flesh and Nether Bone needed two hundred thousand.

Though Chu Xiu didn’t plan to accumulate it all at once, it still needed to be slowly built up.

”No need to return. Let’s head down first.” Chu Xiu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three immediately fell silent.

Though through previous actions, Zhang Qingshan and Guan Ke had realized Chu Xiu’s aggressive style, and both had reaped considerable benefits as well.

Without Chu Xiu leading the way, their gains might not even be a third of what they had now!

But achieving more is one thing; they didn’t want to risk their lives!

The two exchanged a glance, both hesitating. And just as they hesitated, Chu Xiu had already walked to the entrance, the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand appearing and sweeping away the piles of debris covering it, then leaped down.

Su Jinyu laid another layer of the Rune Array beside them, following closely behind.

This left the other two helpless.

”How about we leave first? We’ve come this far, and Senior Qin wouldn’t say anything about us.” Guan Ke sighed.

Her words made Zhang Qingshan hesitate slightly, but in the end, he said, ”You go back first.”

Saying this, the Giant Dragon on the side transformed into a lively tattoo, attaching to his left arm. Without further hesitation, he jumped down the elevator shaft.

”You’re all leaving, and how am I supposed to go back... am I supposed to climb up by myself?” Guan Ke’s face was full of helplessness.

”I’m really out of luck. If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed in the first place. I thought it was an easy assignment to get free resources, but who knew we’d have to risk our lives so quickly.”

But in the end, she could only sigh deeply, following them into the elevator shaft.

Under the force of gravity, her figure fell rapidly. After descending about ten floors, she vaguely saw the ground, six Mechanical arms extending from her back, suddenly thrusting into the surrounding walls. Amidst the ear-piercing metal scraping sound, her falling speed sharply decreased, finally landing steadily on the ground.

A flashlight built into one of the Mechanical arms activated, a beam of light shooting out, illuminating the dark passage.

But at the moment the light turned on, she paused slightly.

Because she found that the other three had not gone far but were gathered in a corner, remaining motionless.

Chu Xiu, wearing a mask, couldn’t be seen what expression he had, but the other two appeared serious, especially Zhang Qingshan, whose seriousness was tinged with shock.

”What happened?”

Guan Ke moved forward, but after only a few steps, she stopped abruptly.

She saw in front of the three of them, a corpse standing quietly.

Yes, a corpse standing.

The corpse was bizarre, only the upper half remaining, with the broken end standing upright on the ground, beneath it was a puddle of eerie substance akin to pitch-black sludge.

His two arms were severed, his eyes wide open, as if encountering something extremely terrifying before death.

For some reason, upon seeing this corpse, a fear instinctively arose within Guan Ke, but she forced a smile: ”It’s normal to find corpses in such a place, right? What, did this strange posture scare you?”

”No, this corpse is very fresh.” Su Jinyu’s serious voice rang out.

Guan Ke paused, a chill traveling up her spine.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that this corpse in front of her indeed looked like it had just died recently, even the blood on the ground had not completely coagulated.

But the person’s face was unfamiliar to Guan Ke, absolutely not anyone from this exploration mission, nor one of the other High Tier Awakened at the camp.

This puzzled her; how could a complete stranger have entered the underground ahead of them?

Just then, Chu Xiu’s solemn voice sounded.

”I know this person.”

”This is the Extreme Dao who attacked me before.”
