Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 401: Chapter 209: Peach Blossom Spring

In an ordinary Cultivation Profession, a Divine Sense that can extend three hundred meters at Level 9 in the Fierce Tier is already quite impressive, and the precision of the Divine Sense is far inferior to Chu Xiu. This is the Effect of practicing the most top-tier Cultivation Technique.

But even so, Chu Xiu was still very dissatisfied. The reason was simple: his other Attributes were too advanced. His Divine Sense was undoubtedly a top-notch reconnaissance method within the Fierce Tier, but from a King Tier perspective, it was an undeniable shortcoming.

For a King Tier powerhouse, locking onto a target from several kilometers away is commonplace.

”I hope to unlock corresponding enhancement methods in the General Tier inheritance.”

”As for now, I can only make do with it.”

Chu Xiu wasted no time, spreading his Divine Sense and quickly moving towards the front of the passage.

And after only about a kilometer, he sensed living beings.

In the range of his Divine Sense, a place akin to a ”guard post” appeared ahead. On either side, simple bunkers were piled up with concrete, with a passage through the middle that could accommodate a truck, manned by several soldiers behind the bunkers.

These soldiers were not ordinary humans; they had a strength of about Level 5 or 6 in the Mortal Tier, wore black Heavy Armor, carried crossbows on their backs, and had heavy War Sabers hanging from their waists.

However, what surprised Chu Xiu was that one of them, presumably the squad leader, had a submachine gun slung over his shoulder.

Although this gun was far from being as refined as a modern submachine gun, with its rough barrel resembling an unpolished steel pipe, indicating low industrial standards, Chu Xiu could still discern from its structure that it was indeed a submachine gun, and the barrel’s caliber was not small, at least ten millimeters. Its durability was unknown, but its Power should be sufficient.

”The technological level of the humans here seems to be around the World War I or World War II stage... No, wait, it’s not appropriate to simply apply familiar historical periods.”

Chu Xiu also noticed that although the submachine gun was roughly made, its structure was not simple. The design of its breech mechanism was even rather intricate, with all necessary parts present, comparable to those manufactured by modern arms companies.

It was likely due to industrial limitations that some parts requiring high precision were replaced by more stable structures, giving the gun an overall ”bulky” appearance.

Moreover, on the side of the submachine gun was embedded a piece of luminous ”fluorite,” which exuded a soft glow, and from which Chu Xiu could sense considerable Energy波动.

Additionally, the crossbows and Armor worn by these individuals, while primitive cold weapons, were well-designed to align with human ergonomics.

”The theoretical level of Technology here likely hasn’t regressed, and may have even advanced.”

”It’s probably just a scarcity of resources hindering industrial development.”

Resources are crucial in industrial development. Even if a country gathers the world’s top scientists and engineers, without basic fuel sources like oil and coal, developing a complete industry would be challenging.

In some branches of modern industry, the absence of a single rare Metal could hinder an entire sector.

Such situations are only natural in an isolated Shelter, and the only thing that piqued Chu Xiu’s curiosity was the purpose of the faintly glowing stone.

He didn’t dwell on it further and moved towards the guard post.

Chu Xiu didn’t want to waste time. He decided that if communication failed, he would simply demonstrate overwhelming strength to quickly locate the Leader of this place and ”persuade” them to assist him.

Although the approach was somewhat forceful, Chu Xiu believed it was the most efficient method. When someone possesses the Power to easily kill everyone else, there would be no doubt about the truthfulness of their words.

However, to his surprise, the progress was smoother than anticipated.

As soon as he appeared, without uttering a word, the soldiers on duty were immediately wide-eyed and, with a ”plop,” directly knelt down before Chu Xiu!

”Elder, you have finally arrived!”

”The General has been awaiting you for some time; let me lead the way for you!”

The respectful words of the leading soldier made Chu Xiu slightly stunned, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

Obviously, they mistook him for someone important.

This was not surprising; as Chu Xiu had not held back his Speed upon arrival, someone with such strength would naturally occupy a high position in a Shelter where the Power level seemed low.

Chu Xiu did not deny this and simply nodded slightly, saying, ”Lead the way, quickly.”

”Yes!”

The soldier’s expression turned solemn, and he quickly jogged ahead to lead the way, while Chu Xiu simply strolled along casually, easily keeping pace. Initially, the soldier worried about Chu Xiu falling behind, but upon realizing that even at his full sprint Chu Xiu was casually strolling, his face revealed a look of shock and even greater respect in his eyes.

At the same time, Chu Xiu rapidly scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense.

This place resembled a military camp, with soldiers everywhere in Maintenance, cleaning Equipment. Many seemed to have just experienced a major battle, with dark red blood stains still on them, exuding a strong fishy odor from afar.

Yet their eyes were exceptionally calm, and some, despite having lost an arm, showed no signs of disheartenment, instead radiating a desperate killing intent.

Compared to the soldiers stationed near the outpost, these individuals were evidently stronger, with a special Energy波动 within them. Their average level reached the Warrior Tier, and some standouts had even reached the Fierce Tier.
