Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

Hearing the voice behind him, Chu Xiu's expression slightly moved and he looked back.

A strange creature was suspended in the air about two or three kilometers behind him.

At first glance, it looked like a giant fly magnified tens of millions of times, but if you look closely, you can find that this "fly" has a hard exoskeleton armor and extremely sharp serrated mouthparts, like a small flying fortress nearly ten meters long.

Chu Xiu's expression condensed, and almost instantly he was sure that this was a general-level creature!

And on this flying strange insect, there were several people standing or sitting, looking at Chu Xiu from afar.

This made Chu Xiu frown slightly, but he didn't say anything, and turned around to continue cleaning up the remaining water ghosts.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the flying strange insect began to approach him unsteadily, and when it was still dozens of meters away from Chu Xiu, the person on the strange insect jumped down.

"I didn't expect to see the Dark Night King here."

The old man in the lead clasped his fists and saluted: "I wonder if you are here for the whereabouts of the military zone? When we were searching in the sky, we heard the movement here, so we came to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Chu Xiu didn't reply, but turned back and looked at a few people carefully, with the spiritual light of the Ghost Demon Eye flashing in his eyes.

Although the level of the Ghost Demon Eye is not enough, if the other party does not deliberately conceal it, you can still roughly feel its strength.

There are nine people in total, one woman and one man are relatively young, and look only slightly older than himself. The other seven are all men. Except for the old man who spoke to him before, they are all middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. They have eagle eyes and exude a fierce and decisive aura. Obviously, they are all experienced masters with rich combat experience.

Three of them have reached the general level, the old man is level 9, the other two middle-aged men are level 7 and level 5, and the others are all fierce level 9.

Judging from the breath sensed by the divine sense, it is even more obvious that the breath of the old man alone is stronger than the other two generals combined.

"Call me Chen Ce." Chu Xiu paused and said.

The strength of these nine people should not be underestimated. Although Chu Xiu is not afraid, he does not want to have another conflict with them.

"My name is Huang Guohua." The old man smiled and pointed to the two young people beside him, "This is my young master, and this is Miss Su from the Third Abyss Research University in the Imperial Capital."

Chu Xiu glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly.

Next, everyone briefly exchanged their information.

Like Chu Xiu, these nine people came here to explore because of the opportunity in the military zone. After all, this is the only place found in the Corpse Ghost City with a comprehensive threat level of the general level.

The danger rating of other cities or regions is basically lower than that of the Corpse Ghost City in the Awakening Trial. After all, the Corpse King, as the final boss of the Awakening Trial, directly absorbs the power of the blood sea, and the degree of pollution is incomparable to ordinary cities.

However, the specific purposes of the nine people are still different.

The girl from the Third Research University of the Imperial Capital is named Su Jinyu. She has a melon-seed face and fair skin.

Her appearance is not particularly outstanding, and she doesn't dress up at all. She just has a simple ponytail with her long black hair behind her head, but she has an intellectual and capable temperament, which makes Chu Xiu feel that she is much more beautiful than most Internet celebrities. He can't help but take a second look.

Next to her is a middle-aged man of level 7 general rank, called "Uncle Liu" by her. He is a full-time bodyguard affiliated with the research institute.

There is no awakening university in this world, nor is there any extraordinary college entrance examination. After all, every awakener is very special and there is nothing to teach. Compared with traditional practitioners who need the guidance of the master's inheritance, awakeners are more like self-employed self-employed individuals.

There will be some national subsidies in the early stage, but in the later stage, there will only be exchange of interests.

However, although there is no university that specializes in training awakeners, there are universities that specialize in studying the abyss. The students in the university are all awakeners, and they need to master a lot of knowledge about the abyss. They are responsible for studying various superior beings, ancient culture, and extraordinary technology in the abyss.

These people will have special subsidies from the country, which is more suitable for awakeners who are not good at fighting, but it is difficult to enter. Only those with outstanding talents are allowed. After all, the country's money is not picked up for nothing, and investment needs to see returns.

"A researcher at the level of level 9 of the fierce rank should have a high status, but she looks only a few years older than me."

Although it is easy for awakeners to fake their appearance, let alone rejuvenate, there are even some who become Cthulhu tentacle monsters, but Chu Xiu's consciousness can feel that the girl is very young.

"It seems to be another genius."

As for the young man called the young master, he is not simple either. His name is Xue Li, and he came here specifically for training.

Although he is already at the level of level 9 of the fierce rank and no longer needs to kill monsters to level up, he needs to improve his character and fighting instincts through a lot of battles.

Unlike Chu Xiu, who fought hard to get to the top, these upper-class children had a lot of high-quality equipment in the early stage, so their upgrade path was almost smooth. This was nothing in normal times, but if they encountered a battle of equal strength, their lack of combat experience and mental deficiencies would be greatly exposed.

There is still a huge difference between daily practice and actual combat.

So their parents let them fight with monsters of the same level under protection to accumulate combat experience as much as possible to make up for this.

After making all the preparations, challenge the fierce level trial.

After all, the fierce level trial is not easy, and the passing rate is less than 50%. This also takes into account that most people have no courage to challenge the fierce level trial in their lifetime. Each challenger is fully prepared.

As the level of the trial increases, the price of the escape props will rise rapidly in an exponential form, and the side effects of failing the trial will also increase significantly, so concentrating on one-time clearance is the best choice.

In order to prevent accidents during the youth's training, his parents prepared a great master of the 9th level of the general level and a well-trained mercenary group called "Fang Squad" for him.

In addition to protecting the safety of the youth, they will also formulate appropriate training plans for the youth, scout, and look for suitable combat targets.

"It's really great to have a good background, so many masters accompany you to level up." Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And looking at the respectful appearance of the two and the arrogance that the young man couldn't hide in his eyebrows, Chu Xiu could feel that this guy's background was probably greater than Ye Junlin! He wouldn't be surprised if he had a father who was a Heroic Spirit.

Chu Xiu didn't want to deal with these two guys. After perfunctorily understanding the situation, he ordered them to leave: "Since you are here for the military district, go find it yourself."

As his impolite voice fell, the young man was obviously a little unhappy, but he was not a playboy, just standing there silently, and the "Butler Huang" next to him bowed and said: "Student Chen, why are you so polite? We awakened people should help each other when we are outside."

"I wonder if Student Chen has any clues about the location of the military district?"

Chu Xiu shook his head.

The old man immediately continued: "It seems that this military area is an extremely rare hidden base built in the mountain."

"I was also in the army when I was young. In order to avoid the enemy's attack, some special military bases that store valuable equipment sometimes hollow out the mountain and build in it. It is extremely difficult to find from the outside world. In addition, this shelter will definitely be further hidden in order to resist the invasion of the doomsday. If you only look for it with the naked eye, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

"But I have a way."

"Student Chen may not know that there is usually a lot of [pollution] in the gathering places of abyss creatures. In other words, as long as we follow the traces of [pollution], we can find our target."

"I see that there seems to be traces of pollution in the lake behind you, classmate."

The white-haired old man said with a smile.

Chu Xiu was a little amused when he heard it. This guy said a lot of things in a roundabout way, and in the end he still wanted to snatch things from him.

However, the other party also has the confidence to do so. A general-level awakener who is fully equipped and has cultivated all skills and attributes to the peak is very terrifying, far from being comparable to the Baron Blood Angel that Chu Xiu met before.

Judging from the old man's age, he is probably one of the first people to enter the abyss when it invaded. Even if he has no causal points, he can't be underestimated just by relying on his own cultivation for decades.

However, although Chu Xiu had no intention of clashing with them, he would not back down. He just pointed at his body and said indifferently, "I came here first, so the things belong to me."

Hearing this, the old man still smiled and said, "Classmate, you misunderstood. We have no intention of robbing your spoils. We just want to find traces of [pollution]."

"How about this? Everything found here belongs to you, classmate. We are only responsible for observation, okay?"

"Miss Su, as a knowledgeable and talented researcher, may be able to give a different opinion."

After hearing the old man's words, Chu Xiu did not insist and nodded in agreement. He knew that everyone had only this one clue, and the other side would not easily back down.

At this time, the evil ghost had almost killed all the water ghosts wandering in the blood-colored lake, and found a huge "tumor" in the center of the lake. There were many passages in the tumor, which seemed to be the water ghost's nest.

Chu Xiu's mind moved, and two figures rushed out of the dense forest and rushed into the lake! It was the resurrected Baron and Blood Angel!

The figures of the two flying by scared the other nine people. The two resurrected corpses were extremely fast, and they were obviously general-level fighters!

Xue Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and the arrogance in the corners of his eyes immediately decreased a little. The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, and there was also a flash of shock in his turbid old eyes.

"Although I have heard that the Dark Night King has amazing talent, not only is his body extremely powerful, but he also has a huge army of summoned creatures, but now it seems that he is even more terrifying than described!"

However, the old man was not too worried. He had absolute confidence in his own strength, which was the confidence brought by his hard work day after day.

In his eyes, a student who had only awakened for a month and a half, no matter how strong his talent was, how could he match his decades of accumulation?

If a conflict occurred, he was confident that he could kill the Dark Night King in a short time!

Of course, he still did not want to conflict with Chu Xiu. Although it was extremely difficult to kill someone in the abyss, he did not want to provoke a genius of this level innocently.

While the old man was thinking secretly, Chu Xiu also completed the search.

The two resurrected corpses of the general level completely tore open the water ghost nest and slaughtered all the remaining water ghosts in it.

At the end, there was a fierce elite-level water ghost queen who was responsible for reproduction. After killing it, the huge energy made the resurrection progress of the two people much faster, and two more evil ghosts were born.

In the belly of the water ghost queen, Chu Xiu found a strange object wrapped in a lot of mucus.

At his signal, a fierce ghost turned into a physical body and floated up, holding an unknown object with a strong stench in its sharp claws.

The smell was like a mixture of a lot of rotten food and stomach acid fermented for several days. The moment it appeared, everyone present frowned, and Xue Li and Su Jinyu couldn't help but cover their noses.

Chu Xiu looked at the thing, and then flicked it lightly, and the green poisonous corpse fire climbed to its edge. In the burning of the flame, the mucus wrapped on the outer layer slowly melted, and the suspected stomach inside was also burned, revealing a mixed yellow-green object.

Under the scorching of the flame, the stench became stronger. Xue Li seemed to be about to vomit, and retreated nearly a hundred meters directly. Su Jinyu also looked ugly, but at least he could still stand in place and stare at the thing in the hands of the fierce ghost.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Chu Xiu walked forward expressionlessly, calmly stretched out his hand and grabbed something from the deepest part of the yellow-green mixture, then put it into the lake and shook it.

Soon, a long object appeared in front of him, which turned out to be a slender black finger!

This finger was extremely strong, and the nails were a strange dark purple. As the mucus wrapped around it was washed away, Chu Xiu felt a wave of nausea surged in his heart.

"Is this [pollution]?"

Fortunately, his mental resistance is incredibly high now, even most of the awakened generals can't compare, so he can look at this finger like nothing happened.

And soon, the relevant item information appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

[Blood Demon Oswell's Finger]

[Description: Continuously emitting pollution in all directions, long-term contact will produce uncontrolled distortion. ]

Blood Demon's Finger?

Chu Xiu's heart moved slightly. He still had a blood demon's tongue and stomach in his storage space.

Although it was not the same blood demon.

After looking around, Chu Xiu, who had no clue, handed the finger to others.

Everyone looked at it one by one, and they were all confused. In the end, they could only look at Su Jinyu.

"The blood demon is a high-level creature born in blood, but the blood demons born from different bloods are very different. Their strength, rank, and even appearance and talent are very different."

"This place is the territory of the 'Boundless Blood Pool'. If this blood demon was born from the blood in the core of the blood pool, then the rank should be very high! At the worst, it must be the king rank, and it may even reach the heroic spirit rank!"

Su Jinyu's words made everyone look more solemn. The Boundless Blood Pool is an ancient god. How could the rank of an existence born from the blood of a god be low?

"Then can we locate the position of the military district based on this?" asked Manager Huang.

Su Jinyu walked around the lake for a few times, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head regretfully: "It shouldn't be possible. This seems to be an independent [pollutant]."

"Okay." Everyone was a little disappointed.

"So can you return the item to me now?"

At this time, Chu Xiu's calm voice sounded.

The old man glanced at him, and before he could say anything, Su Jinyu trotted over and returned the finger.

This made the old man shake his head helplessly, thinking that although this little girl looked more mature than her peers, sometimes she could still be seen as a college student who was not very experienced in the world. She was too honest. She just handed back an item of a high level easily. He wanted to find an excuse to deduct it.

After all, this thing is their only clue at present, and as a special item, it has a high trading value when taken back.

But at this point, he had no intention of causing trouble again, so he turned around and took everyone to ride on the flying monster insect and left.

It seems that they should want to look for other blood demon parts nearby to see if they can find some clues from them.

After the figure of the flying monster insect completely disappeared, Chu Xiu looked down at the finger in his palm again, revealing a thoughtful look.

He thought of the tongue.

"As a blood demon, maybe it can know some information?"

"I just don't know if the tongue can still give out secrets after the awakening trial is over."

Chu Xiu looked at the sky. The sun was gradually setting and it was about to be night.

Next, he continued to search for traces of other pollutants nearby, but searching at night was obviously more difficult. He wandered around for a long time but found nothing. In the end, he simply gave up and found a cave to rest and recover his strength.

At midnight, a familiar restlessness suddenly came from the storage space.

Chu Xiu smiled, raised his hand, and a sticky tongue fell to the ground.

And the moment it appeared, it screamed impatiently:

"I feel it! You found the body of the beast Oswell!"

"Give it to me! Give it to me! I can exchange it for any secret you want!"
