Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

Looking at the suddenly [pinned] post, Chu Xiu's expression slightly condensed.

He was not surprised that his identity as an awakener was not hidden. After all, as long as the contribution was summarized, the answer to who got the first place would be obvious.

Except for the Dark Night King who killed the corpse king alone, no one else could have such a high contribution!

But what surprised Chu Xiu a little was that he actually attracted the attention of the National Investigation Bureau!

The Investigation Bureau is an agency similar to the Supervision Bureau, except that the former will participate in investigating all the secrets in the abyss, while the latter is more focused on monitoring the illegal situations of awakeners.

"Is it because of the talent I showed? If so, I can't show up easily." Chu Xiu touched his chin.

He has a clear understanding of the dark nature of this world. After all, he now has a full six hands of deprivation.

Almost every year, there are geniuses whose talents and careers are taken away by others, but the government has been suppressing information in this regard for the sake of social stability.

Of course, the government is intentionally protecting young awakeners with potential, but there are more hunters hiding in the darkness. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the murderer in the abyss. Just like Chu Xiu killed Lin Wanyue, the Lin family could not find him no matter how much money they spent.

In this case, the cost of crime is infinitely close to zero, and naturally many people will not be able to resist.

Although the Jidao has only appeared recently, people like Jidao have long been scattered in human society. They may be kind and gentle elders and harmless baby faces in normal times, but after entering the abyss, they will turn into ruthless and cold-blooded executioners.

Even if ninety-nine out of a hundred people are good people, you can't guarantee that the remaining one will not launch a fatal attack on you.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu looked a little solemn and began to read the content of the post.

This post is divided into two parts. The first part is the speculation that the Dark Night King is actually an awakener. The poster put forward various evidences.

The comments below were basically questioning and arguing. After all, Chu Xiu's performance was too terrifying, making it difficult for them to believe that this was an awakener of the same level as them.

Some people even thought that the poster was being abstract, and all kinds of laughter and sarcasm.

But at this time, an official account posted a comment:

[The Dark Night King is definitely an awakener. Please contact the government staff if you know the relevant information. If the Dark Night King himself sees this message, please rest assured that our investigation bureau just has important matters to discuss and will not harm you. ]

As soon as this comment came out, the screen was full of question marks, and it was refreshed hundreds of times in a short while!

Chu Xiu could feel the shock of everyone through the screen. It was estimated that the name of "Dark Night King" would appear in major forums in a few days.

He didn't care. Anyway, it was just a vest. What Chu Xiu cared about was what the government wanted to find him for.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the second part of the post.

In it, it was an invitation from the government to him, expressing the hope to meet him.

In order to dispel Chu Xiu's doubts, the meeting place was set in the world of corpse ghosts. He only needed to meet with the agent selected by the government. This agent was a student of the same class as him, and his strength could not pose a threat to him. There would be no other strong people around to monitor the meeting between the two.

The words were sincere and modest, and extremely polite, which made the awakened people below comment:

"Is this still the investigation bureau I am familiar with???"

"When did the investigation bureau become so considerate???"

On weekdays, the people in the investigation bureau were not domineering, but they were also arrogant. After all, they were backed by the country, and both power and resources that could be mobilized were top-notch. In addition, each operator was a powerful awakener, and basically they walked sideways wherever they went.

Now, they were so polite to the Dark Night King.

However, if the Dark Night King was really an awakener, it would make sense. This terrifying talent was indeed worthy of the investigation bureau's special treatment.

Chu Xiu glanced over the worthless comments and focused on the purpose of the investigation bureau looking for him to meet.

[We would like to invite you to discuss the exploration of the Old Days. ]

"The Old Days. So that's why."

Chu Xiu touched his chin.

After thinking for a while, he walked out of the door, put on his cloak in a place where no one was monitoring, moved carefully in the city, tried to take small roads to avoid cameras, and came to the other side of the city.

He then walked into a black Internet cafe, turned on a computer and searched for news about [The Old Days].

The power of the state department is very strong, and it is possible to be suspicious through browsing records, so it is always right to be careful.

But after searching, Chu Xiu was a little disappointed.

Because there was no news about the Old Days on the Internet, and even the word was not mentioned by many people.

"The news was blocked? Or are there not many people who know about the Old Days? No matter which one, it can be seen that the Old Days certificate I got is indeed very important."

Chu Xiu concentrated on thinking for a while and made a decision.

"I still have to contact the government personnel. Whether it is information about [The Old Days] or handling [Core Anchor Points], I need to contact people. I can't hide all the time."

In fact, Chu Xiu also planned to join a force.

There are usually three types of forces on Blue Planet, namely the government, trade unions and consortiums. Behind each of these three forces, there is a king.

Comparatively speaking, the government has the best resources, but also the most constraints. The consortium and the union have their own advantages. The former is better in equipment and props, while the latter is relatively more humane.

In short, one is rich and powerful, and the other is brothers helping each other.

"Joining a force can obtain a certain degree of resources and intelligence support, and can also find suitable teammates to explore the abyss together."

All three are very important, especially teammates. The help that a fully trusted teammate of the same level can provide is not even comparable to legendary equipment.

As a lord, Chu Xiu's anchor point is naturally best given to the community of interests.

Of course, what he values ​​most is the ability of the three major forces to obtain causal points.

"Cause and effect points are strictly controlled by the state. If I want to exchange the resources in my hands for cause and effect points, I must rely on the help of major forces."

Huaxia currency is no longer useful to Chu Xiu now. The equipment of [Perfect] and [Supreme] is not very helpful to him, and no one is stupid enough to sell [Legendary] equipment, so it is a reasonable choice to exchange a large amount of equipment in his soul and flesh storage bag for cause and effect points.

But this requires joining a faction, otherwise there is no way to obtain it.

"Pass the fierce-level trial during the cooling period, so that even if the opponent has bad intentions, I can deal with it calmly."

With his mind set, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated. He went home and had a good sleep. After replenishing his physical strength, he entered the awakening space and started the fierce-level trial.

The prompt sound of [Trial Generating] sounded beside his ears, but Chu Xiu knew that the trial generation was not that fast.

The higher the level of the trial, the longer it takes to generate. For some top awakeners, the trial generation may take several years.

The generation time of the fierce-level trial is usually about a week. Considering that the magic cultivation profession is special, it may take longer.

Chu Xiu didn't care about it anymore, but chose a soldier-level copy of the corpse ghost world to start the challenge.

Today's copy, even the highest difficulty, is not difficult for him at all, and the benefits can be ignored.

However, Chu Xiu still chose to go to the next copy because he needs to maintain his state in battle and hone his skills.

He knew very well that although causal points can directly increase skills, one's own practice should not be ignored. Actual combat is far from a simple numerical competition, but a complex system determined by many variables. Changes in mentality and instantaneous reactions may determine the final victory or defeat.

Like Lin Wanyue, whose strength is obviously stronger than Jidao, she was frightened when she encountered a real battle because she neglected to hone her skills, and was beaten without any ability to fight back.

Although Chu Xiu is calmer and more ruthless than ordinary people, he is not a natural combat genius. He still needs to continuously improve his abilities in battles again and again.

In this way, Chu Xiu was immersed in the dungeon for three consecutive days. He suppressed his strength and required every attack to be accurate and perfect, and never waste a bit of strength.

In such self-disciplined training, Chu Xiu's combat ability soon improved significantly.

At the same time, he also spent 16,000 causal points to upgrade [Green Poison Corpse Fire] to the maximum level.

Although he had not practiced this skill before due to the shortage of causal points, it did not mean that this skill was useless.

Every inheritance of the magic profession is extremely powerful.

Especially [Green Poison Corpse Fire] is the only attack skill of the innate god and demon in the soldier level, so it should not be underestimated.

After upgrading to perfection, Chu Xiu just moved his mind, and a little green flame appeared between his fingers. Then he pointed forward, and the flame flew away and fell on the fierce boss at the end of the dungeon.

The next moment, the dark green flame suddenly surged and engulfed the boss in an instant!

Amid the shrill wailing, the boss was burned to dust in just a few breaths!

"Hiss - what a terrifying power!"

Even Chu Xiu at this time couldn't help but secretly marvel.

This is a very powerful continuous damage skill! Although it is not as simple and crude as the Heavenly Demon Hand, it is by no means inferior in terms of overall power!

As long as it is touched by the Green Poison Corpse Fire, it will continue to burn, and it cannot be extinguished even if you jump into the river! Moreover, the Green Poison Corpse Fire can also be attached to weapons, which doubles the power of his Blood Curse Bone Nail.

The speed of the bone-piercing nail is extremely fast, and the only disadvantage is that it is not powerful enough, and the Azure Poison Corpse Fire perfectly solves this problem.

This made Chu Xiu sigh again, the three paths really have a lot of complementary skills.

If he had perfected this skill when fighting the Corpse King, he would not have to consider so much at all, and he could completely kill the Corpse King with the recovery ability of the Sky-Connecting Blood Vine!

In his joy, Chu Xiu brushed the dungeon more frequently, constantly experimenting with the most suitable fighting method for the Azure Poison Corpse Fire.

In this way, another week passed, and Chu Xiu maintained the frequency of brushing the nightmare dungeon fifteen times a day. He had mastered the Azure Poison Corpse Fire to perfection, and his combat experience became more and more abundant.

But the trial was not generated yet, so he simply went to the bloody arena to take a look.

With the badge, even if the Corpse Ghost World was still in the cooling period, Chu Xiu could still teleport to the arena.

This place was still as desolate and magnificent as the last time he came. Hundreds of blood babies walked around in those huge buildings that reached the sky, as if time could not leave any traces on this arena.

Chu Xiu walked to the statue of the Blood Spouting Pond. There was a blood servant kneeling beside him. This was a blood servant who specifically served him. Through the gladiator badge, Chu Xiu was able to communicate with him.

He first learned about the specific rules of the arena. He went back in such a hurry that he didn't even ask how to get points or what their uses were.

After some exchanges, Chu Xiu quickly understood.

To put it simply, points are divided into three parts, namely base, ranking and reward.

Basic points are earned as long as you participate in the competition. Different levels of competitions have different point rewards. Ranking is based on an individual's ranking among all gladiators of the same level. They are distributed every month. The final reward naturally comes from the four great gods. Dude, I rewarded you.

Points can be used to exchange for blessings from gods.

Of course, the competition is not something you want to have, but it has to be matched by the blood waiter to avoid large-scale abuse of food to gain points.

And this is just the most basic way to obtain points. The four gods have many activities, such as the annual skills competition, the global competition every ten years, and various fancy challenges, etc., all of which can earn a lot of money. of points.

The Blood Warrior brought him a thick ancient book, which detailed various competitions and the blessings he could exchange for.

Chu Xiu looked at his situation. He only had one hundred basic points because he had just become a gladiator. However, perhaps because he had defeated a regular gladiator before, his ranking was not at the bottom, but at the fourth. Ranked twenty-one out of seventeen.

These one hundred points could not be spent, and because there were so few gladiators in the rank of knights, he could not find anyone to match him for a while, so he could only look through the book given to him by the Blood Warrior out of boredom.

The various weird challenges above opened his eyes, such as having two gladiators fight in outer space without gravity, such as having a duel in a colossus building full of various traps and boosting props, and another such as putting a hundred Gladiators are thrown to an abandoned planet for a battle royale, and the ten who survive in the end win.

"These gods really know how to play."

However, while Chu Xiu was sighing, he was also secretly shocked by the power of the four gods. In front of them, even a planet was just a plaything under their hands.

"No wonder the Bloody Arena is called the most important opportunity. There are not many opportunities to directly contact such a superior being."

"I just don't know what level of awakened person the four great gods are equivalent to, and what level of immortal cultivator they are equivalent to?"

Chu Xiu currently only knows that there is a higher level on the king level, but he doesn't know what it is and how powerful it is.

However, he felt that the Eight Heavenly Kings had monopolized Blue Star's resources for thirty years and received so many Karma Points every day. Their strength should be far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Without thinking any more, Chu Xiu turned to flipping through the blessings he would have the opportunity to receive in the future.

With the authority of his rank, there are only a dozen kinds of blessings that can be obtained, most of which are relatively basic. There are only three kinds that can grow. The [Inspiration Spark (B)] he obtained before is one of them, and there are two more. The two are [Mana Reserve (B)] and [Bullet Time (B)]

"I don't really need the mana reserves, but bullet time is interesting."

This talent can greatly increase one's own reaction speed in a short period of time, making everything around it seem as if the flow of time has slowed down. It can play a great role in high-intensity battles.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiu looked at the price and found that it cost a full 3,000 points. An ordinary match in his rank only had 20 points. Even if he rose all the way to the first place, he would only have less than 1,000 points to improve his rank, and monthly About 100 regular points can only be obtained after playing so many games in the Year of the Monkey.

But just when Chu Xiu was about to close the book, his eyes suddenly moved, he noticed something, and he said softly "Eh".

At the end of the book, there is such a blessing:

[Pollution Cleansing: Can slightly reduce the pollution of the abyss, priced at 5,000 points. 】

Can reduce the pollution of the abyss!

The S-level traits that Chu Xiu revealed when he killed the Corpse King before had pollution attributes among them!

It was this attribute that made Chu Xiu hesitate and dare not fuse.

Of course, he also searched for information related to [Pollution] on the Internet, but he found very little. It took him a long time to find a king-level item [Purification Holy Water], which has a chance of eliminating pollution. Unexpectedly, he found the tool to remove pollution here. Methods.

This made Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh again. The Bloody Arena is worthy of being a huge opportunity that requires [Legendary] blood to be revealed. Many ordinary awakened people have to pay a huge price, or there is simply no way to solve the problem. The boundless blood pool can easily do it. arrive.

The only troublesome thing is that its price is as high as 5,000 points, which is higher than the most expensive blessing! This shows how valuable things that can reduce pollution are.

"But once I reach the fierce level, it will be much easier to earn points. Five thousand points is not out of reach."

"In this way, you can safely integrate those S-level traits."

Just at this moment, a prompt sounded in his ear.

[The trial has been generated! 】

[Trial World: β-2345674]

[Number of people in trial: 4]

[The trial will begin in three days, please prepare in advance. 】

"Is it finally okay?"

Chu Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

"There are only four people in this trial, so it shouldn't be as troublesome as last time." He thought to himself.

However, he did notice one thing, that is, the world number of the fierce-level trial is one less than that of the soldier-level trial. He didn't know whether the higher the number, the higher the world level.

Without thinking about it, Chu Xiu continued to go to the dungeon as usual for the next three days to maintain his condition.

Three days later.

[The upgrade trial is about to begin, please try to dive deep]

Following the prompt sound, Chu Xiu took all his equipment and entered the awakening space.

Just like the soldier-level trial, as soon as he entered the awakening space, he sensed a guide leading to the depths of the abyss. Chu Xiu followed the guide to dive deep, and the space began to shrink rapidly. Not long after, a cold prompt sounded beside his ear:

[Deep dive ended, current depth: 1454]

"Deeper than last time."

Just as this thought appeared in Chu Xiu's mind, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly. When he came to his senses, he was already sitting on a chair.

He just subconsciously prepared to get up, but suddenly felt a resistance coming, and then he found that he was actually wrapped with circles of iron chains!

These iron chains were three or four centimeters thick, enough to be used as anchors for small fishing boats, but now they were used to tie him up!

The seat under him was also made of pure iron, firmly welded to the ground, and could not be moved at all.

"Interesting."

Chu Xiu chuckled and looked around. He found himself in a dark hut. There was only a small candle on the table in front of him, emitting a dim halo. This weak light could only illuminate a small area. A little further away, it was pitch black, and only the outline of the furniture could be vaguely seen.

Originally, with his perception ability, he could see things clearly even in the dark forest, but this place seemed a little strange, and there was a mysterious power that restricted his perception.

And just as Chu Xiu looked around, suddenly a ghost face with an evil ghost mask suddenly appeared in front of him!

Chu Xiu was startled, and before he could react, the face slowly retreated.

He then realized that there was also a chair opposite the table, and a man had sat on it long ago. He was the one who suddenly stood up and approached Chu Xiu. The man was wearing a ghost mask and a black robe, and was completely hidden in the dark. He didn't know what strange skills he used, but Chu Xiu didn't notice it at first.

Under Chu Xiu's vigilant eyes, the ghost-faced man slowly spoke:

"Welcome to the gambling game of the god of death."
