Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

In the pitch-black abyss, Chu Xiu lay on the back of the dragon, with the sound of the rapidly falling wind in his ears.

The closer he got to the bottom of the pit, the more he could feel the chill that penetrated his bones, as if countless tiny insects were drilling into his bones through his skin.

Chu Xiu didn't care, but Guan Ke, who was the weakest, couldn't help but tighten his body subconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a faint light appeared in front of me.

It was the fluorescent stick placed in advance by the drone during the initial reconnaissance. This faint red light was the only light source at the bottom of the deep pit.

In the blurred red light, you can vaguely see that in the darkness, there seemed to be a large number of creatures running back and forth, making a "rustling" sound.

"It's here."

As Chu Xiu's voice fell, the giant dragon he sat on opened its mouth, a little flame lit up in its throat, and the next moment, it was like a house full of gas was ignited, a hot dragon breath sprayed out of its mouth and quickly spread into a turbulent torrent!

The air was burned and distorted, the flames rolled and spread in the air, turning into a large piece of fire rain, and the thick darkness below was instantly dispelled, revealing the ugly faces of corrupted creatures. They looked up at the sky and roared in the direction of the giant dragon, but soon they were engulfed by the flames, and the roars turned into shrill screams.

Zhang Qingshan commanded the giant dragon to circle in the sky, spewing flames wantonly downwards, and soon the entire area was turned into a sea of ​​fire. This large-scale group attack skill without CD made Chu Xiu a little surprised?

Su Jinyu and Guan Ke also showed shocked expressions.

As the last area was cleared, after burning most of the corrupted creatures below, the dragon slowly landed with four people.

"Ding."

"Report the news."

At the same time as landing, the other party's voice sounded in the communication bracelet given by Qin Xiang before.

"Arrived at the designated area."

"Arrived."

As the reports sounded, Chu Xiu looked down. There was a small display screen on the bracelet, which was connected to the detector. It could display the latest surrounding map in real time. At the same time, it also displayed the location information of everyone in the form of luminous dots.

At this time, the closest king level to Chu Xiu was seven or eight kilometers away, and everyone had planned the route of action in advance. They would not contact each other along the way, but maintained a distance that could provide support at any time.

"This bracelet, in a sense, should be Qin Xiang's protection for me, right?"

Qin Xiang seemed to know that the other three king levels were not trustworthy. Perhaps even he could not be sure whether any of the three would attack Chu Xiu for the sake of profit.

With this device, everyone's position can be confirmed in time. Even if someone wants to harm Chu Xiu, the difficulty of the operation will be greatly increased.

"However, on the other hand, it can also locate my position."

Chu Xiu touched his chin and pressed the communication button: "Chen Ce is in place."

"Okay, everyone act according to the original plan. Remember that the main purpose of this operation is only reconnaissance, to find out the passage to the underground area, and do not advance alone."

Qin Xiang gave a final instruction, and then said no more. Chu Xiu also pressed the mute button on the communication device.

"Captain, what should we do next." Zhang Qingshan looked around vigilantly and asked.

Chu Xiu said: "Guan Ke, release all your reconnaissance objects and conduct large-scale reconnaissance. Don't consider concealment. Report directly when you find corrupted creatures. I will let my summons cooperate with you to eliminate them. Zhang Qingshan, you provide air support. We will kill all the way according to the planned route."

After these words came out, Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan were both stunned, only Su Jinyu looked calm.

"Isn't this too risky?" Zhang Qingshan pondered, "We don't know the environment at the bottom of the deep pit yet, nor do we know the strength and number of the enemy. If we attack rashly, we may be ambushed by the enemy. Even if you are very strong, I think for the sake of safety, we should still do as Senior Qin said, and focus on reconnaissance, right?"

He made a tactful suggestion, and at the same time, he looked at Chu Xiu with some surprise, perhaps he didn't expect that the legendary Dark Night King would be such a reckless person.

However, in the face of Zhang Qingshan's suggestion, Chu Xiu just said calmly: "No need, let's kill directly to maximize the results."

Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Although he was not satisfied with Chu Xiu's decision, he also knew that it was important to obey the captain's instructions in a team. If everyone had their own ideas, the entire team would become a pile of loose sand.

With a wave of air, Zhang Qingshan took off on the dragon, and Guan Ke slid a few times on her mechanical arm, and a mechanical back armor on her back opened to both sides, and a large number of mechanical spirit birds flew out of it and scattered around.

Chu Xiu raised his hand and waved it, and a huge number of ghosts rushed out from the Hundred Souls Banner!

One hundred, two hundred, five hundred, one thousand! Two thousand!!!

In the blink of an eye, two thousand ghosts rushed out, including two hundred fierce ghosts!

The ghosts in the sky howled fiercely, circling around the four people, causing the temperature around them to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.

This horrifying scene made Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan stunned in place, with a look of doubt on their faces.

Not a buddy? You are a fierce level, and you have two thousand summons? ? ?

They can clearly feel that these ghosts are not only extremely numerous, but also of extremely high quality, including a large number of vicious-level ghosts!

When the two ghosts stepped out of the Hundred Soul Flag, the shock on their faces had turned into helpless smiles.

Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan are both somewhat arrogant. They both believe that their mechanical creations and dragons will not be inferior to summoning professions of the same level.

But when compared to Chu Xiu's army of ghosts, it's not of the same magnitude at all. It's just like a child playing house.

They remembered for a long time the fear of being dominated by Chu Xiu during the world mission.

This is a terrifying existence that kills the world boss alone!

only.

Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan looked at each other and still saw a flash of worry in each other's eyes.

Chu Xiu's strength is strong, but the problem is that there are kings at the bottom of this pit!

Two generals, two hundred fierces, and a large number of soldiers are indeed enough to compete with the kings, but what if there is more than one king? So what should we do?

The bottom of the pit is the home ground of Calamity. Naturally, the opponent will not be stupid enough to send evenly matched enemies to level up everyone. It is more likely that they will take advantage of the terrain and take the initiative to intercept and kill!

A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. It is impossible for those who have survived for countless years to understand this calamity.

In this case, even the awakened kings need to be careful. Although Chu Xiu's strength is arrogant to his peers, he is not qualified to be so arrogant!

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Chu Xiu with doubts in their eyes.

However, what they didn't know was that the terrifying army of ghosts in front of them was only a quarter of Chu Xiu's total strength.

Moreover, although they are both generals, the strength of the ghost generals is much stronger than that of ordinary generals. Coupled with the general orders, blood symbiosis and horns, the true strength of the ghost army is at least ten times more than the two expected!

Therefore, in fact, contrary to what the two thought, Chu Xiu not only did not worry about being ambushed, but instead deliberately tempted the disaster underground to take action!

"Underground Calamity's estimate of my strength should still be based on the interception and killing three days ago. It couldn't have imagined that there are people in this world who can become significantly stronger just by killing."

"If the other party rashly sends out kings to attack and kill me, there will be a big surprise."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face under the mask.

With the blood-burning golden eyes and the brand new monster army, as long as he doesn't face the real body directly, the remaining kings are no match for him!

Of course, Chu Xiu naturally had a backup plan as usual. Even if the opponent's true form appeared, he was sure to retreat calmly with Zhang Qingshan.

Without thinking any more, Chu Xiu thought, and the ghost army dispersed into dozens of teams. They followed Guan Ke's reconnaissance sparrows and dispersed in all directions. As for the two ghost generals, they kept a distance where they could support them at any time. .

"Captain, a large number of corrupted creatures were found at a distance of 58 degrees and 600 meters to the right front."

"They seem to have set up traps in advance to allow your summons to bypass the square area in front."

Guan Ke's voice rang in Chu Xiu's ears. With a thought, Chu Xiu's consciousness descended on one of the fierce ghosts in the area Guan Ke mentioned through the connection with the Hundred Soul Flags.

In front of him was a large square, which seemed to be used to park military vehicles. The originally smooth cement road had become uneven, and there was a thick layer of dust on it.

However, Chu Xiu soon discovered that there was significantly less dust in several places, and there were traces of artificial damage on the ground.

"Is this a mine or something?"

Following Guan Ke's instructions, Chu Xiu led the ghosts around and soon discovered a small group of corrupted soldiers hiding on the roof of a building near the square.

The leading corrupt soldier actually has a thermal imaging night vision device, which allows them to accurately observe living creatures in the dark. The other team members have a clear division of labor. There are heavy gunners with heavy machine guns responsible for fire suppression, and there are long-range attack ones. There are snipers and demolitions responsible for placing explosives.

If Chu Xiu's ghost hadn't been able to turn into a soul state, it would have been discovered by this team from a long distance away.

But now, after being touched by a ghost, the battle is over.

The bodies of ferocious ghosts solidified and appeared on the roof out of thin air. Before the team could react, they were torn into pieces.

[Professional experience +2]

[Cause and Effect Points +15]

A prompt sounded in Chu Xiu's ears.

"This team is not very elite, with only five ranks."

"But without Guan Ke's advance reconnaissance, my ghost army might have caused considerable losses."

Chu Xiu controlled the ghost and gently pressed the detonation button.

"boom!"

Huge flames immediately rose in the square not far away, and more than a dozen bombs buried in the square detonated at the same time. In addition to the shock wave generated by the explosion, a large number of fragments were shot around under high temperature and pressure. Almost the entire square was destroyed. Included in the killing range.

"Although these corrupted soldiers no longer have free will, they seem to still retain the experience and knowledge of being soldiers. They even placed a large number of metal fragments such as spikes near the bomb."

"The total yield of the bombs here is only a few hundred kilograms!"

Chu Xiu was slightly shocked.

If his ghosts had just stepped into the square without knowing anything, even in the soul state, the ordinary ghosts would be instantly blown to pieces, and the evil ghosts would also be injured! If they were close to the explosion site, it was not impossible to be directly blown apart.

Chu Xiu could not split his consciousness into thousands of parts to control all the ghosts. In most cases, he gave simple instructions and the ghosts completed them independently. In this case, it was almost impossible to avoid the opponent's ambush.

If he forced his way forward, he would probably lose a lot of ghosts!

"Qin Xiang is right. The reconnaissance profession is still very necessary."

"If I don't want to bring a burden with me, I still have to unlock a skill that can conduct large-scale reconnaissance as soon as possible." Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Under Guan Ke's reconnaissance, Chu Xiu successfully avoided a large number of ambushes and traps, and quickly cleared more than a dozen teams of corrupted soldiers.

Of course, there must be many ambushes that Guan Ke could not find, but overall, the losses of the ghost army have been greatly reduced, and the living souls obtained by killing corrupted creatures are enough to make up for it, and there are still many surpluses.

During this process, Chu Xiu also made a surprising discovery.

That is, the range of movement of the mechanical creation controlled by Guan Ke is even larger than that of his ghost! The farthest can even be more than ten kilometers away from the main body!

"Consciousness attachment is worthy of being a top-level S-level talent."

Chu Xiu sighed in his heart, and even subconsciously began to calculate whether to use the Hand of Deprivation to deprive Guan Ke of his talent.

Of course, this is just his instinct. Chu Xiu is naturally not stupid enough to risk breaking away from the existing order for such a small benefit. Besides, his current Hand of Deprivation level is not high enough. It was given away for free when he passed the trial before. Stripping it will reduce it by at least three levels, which is too uneconomical.

Just when Chu Xiu was thinking strangely, suddenly a loud dragon roar came from the sky. Chu Xiu looked in the direction of the sound, but saw Zhang Qingshan's dragon was spewing a lot of flames downwards, and its body seemed to grow rapidly under the influence of some mysterious power. In just a few seconds, it was visibly larger.

"Upgraded."

It must be said that with the dragon's large-scale attack skills, the leveling is really fast. Zhang Qingshan reached level 3 in the previous promotion and elimination battle, and he should have accumulated a lot of experience. At this time, after eliminating several waves of corrupted creatures, he was upgraded to level one.

This made Guan Ke on the side look envious.

"That." She hesitated for a while and said carefully: "I found a lot of scattered weapons nearby. I want to collect them and install them on my mechanical creation. Is that okay?"

Chu Xiu glanced at Guan Ke who was uneasy, and suddenly smiled gently.

"Of course."

"As a mechanic, this place is a treasure land for you. I can understand."

If Guan Ke wants to form a mechanical army, then a large number of hot weapons are indispensable, and these things are not cheap. A heavy machine gun with sufficient ammunition has a market price of more than 100,000 yuan. This is still the most basic weapon, which can basically only be used for soldier-level battles.

Those high-level machine guns and artillery are extremely expensive. The cost is high enough, and the military will make a lot of money when they are sold.

There are a lot of equipment on site here. Even those destroyed anti-aircraft machine guns can still be dismantled with the special means of mechanics. Many good things can save a lot of money for the mechanic profession, which is already short of resources.

"I'll give you some more ghosts to help you dismantle them, and you can sit on this thing."

Chu Xiu pointed his hand, and a large resurrected corpse of the fierce level came out.

In the previous fusion, of course, not all resurrected corpses were consumed. Some of them were not suitable and were left behind, but they were strengthened in the corpse fire.

This guy is more than five meters tall and moves quite quickly. It is no longer useful for Chu Xiu in combat, but it is good to use it as a mount.

"You are up there, so you can refine weapons into your mechanical creations while you are on the road, and send them out to kill monsters in time."

Chu Xiu's words made Guan Ke look at him in surprise, as if he had never expected the Dark Night King to be so friendly. After reacting, he hurriedly thanked him.

Then he hurriedly took out dozens of mechanical dogs from the storage space, led Chu Xiu's ghosts, and ran towards the high-value weapons scattered around.

Watching Guan Ke's figure disappear in the distance, Chu Xiu retracted his gaze, and then just met Su Jinyu who was surprised.

"What? Do you think I can't be so kind?" Chu Xiu looked at her with a smile.

Su Jinyu was startled and shook her head quickly.

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not a moody monster. You complete your task as agreed, and I will give you the wine of resurrection."

"Yes." Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you close to that girl? You're helping her for free."

"For free? Not really," Chu Xiu laughed, "I put the locator on her mount, and hid a ghost general nearby, so that if there is anything wrong with the communication device, or if someone wants to harm me, I can find it in time."

Su Jinyu:

She knew it.

At this time, Chu Xiu said again, "Don't worry, you have a share too."

As he said that, he took out a piece of [Contaminant] and handed it over.

Su Jinyu:

She now regrets why she has this mouth. Why did she ask this when she has nothing to do!

However, judging from the speed at which Chu Xiu handed it over, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind. He estimated that even if he didn't ask, the other party would take the initiative to bring it up, so he could only accept it helplessly.

Chu Xiu smiled "hehe", and his figure floated backwards, hiding in the darkness.

Su Jinyu held her forehead and sighed. Sure enough, this was the person she was familiar with.

However, thinking of the wine of resurrection, Su Jinyu lost her temper and could only try her best to lay down enough rune arrays nearby to ensure her own safety.

Fortunately, until everyone had scanned the established route, the disaster did not continue to send people to attack Chu Xiu. I don't know if it was because of some restrictions, or because he didn't dare to act easily after suffering a big loss at his hands.

This naturally made Su Jinyu breathe a sigh of relief, while Chu Xiu was quite disappointed.

"It seems that they are further adopting a retreat strategy and concentrating the elites deeper underground."

"Only a few teams are left on the surface, using explosives to delay harassment, consuming our state, and delaying time by the way."

Chu Xiu thought to himself.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan rode back on the dragon to report.

"Captain, we found the entrance to the underground. Miss Su is right. There is indeed an elevator passage leading to the deeper part under the tall building."

"The whole route has been explored and the entrance has been found. It's time to return to the base."

Chu Xiu glanced at him.

After the sweep, his experience value jumped again. He should be almost level 5, and he gained at least 2,000 karma points.

Guan Ke's reconnaissance ability plus the high mobility and high destructive power of the dragon made this kid quite reaping this time.

Guan Ke also successfully upgraded to the next level and gained a lot of weapons. Those heavy machine guns can be used directly on the mechanical dog. The heavy weapons were also disassembled into parts by her. She could go back and modify and reassemble them. It can be said that she gained more than Zhang Qingshan, and her whole expression was full of joy.

But Chu Xiu was not satisfied.

He only took 6,000 karma points and a lot of useless garbage this time.

The perfection of the Burning Blood Golden Eye requires nearly 80,000 karma points, and the last layer of the Golden Muscle and Nether Bone requires 200,000.

Although Chu Xiu didn't have the idea of ​​collecting all of them at once, he had to accumulate them slowly.

"No need to return, let's go down and take a look first." Chu Xiu said.

As soon as the voice fell, the other three people fell silent.

Although according to the previous actions, Zhang Qingshan and Guan Ke also discovered Chu Xiu's radical style of action, and the two also gained a lot of benefits.

Without Chu Xiu leading the team, their gains might not even be one-third of what they are now!

But gaining a lot is one thing, they don't want to risk their lives with them!

The two looked at each other and hesitated. While they were hesitating, Chu Xiu had already walked to the entrance on his own, and the Crazy Demon Hand emerged, pushed away the large amount of rubble covering it, and then jumped down.

After Su Jinyu arranged another rune array beside him, he followed closely.

This made the remaining two helpless.

"Why don't we go first? We have done this, and Senior Qin won't say anything to us." Guan Ke sighed.

Her words made Zhang Qingshan hesitate slightly, but he finally said: "You go back first."

After that, the giant dragon beside him turned into a vivid tattoo attached to Zhang Qingshan's left arm. He didn't hesitate any more and jumped into the elevator shaft.

"You all left, how can I go back? Can I climb up by myself?" Guan Ke's face was full of helplessness.

"I am really unlucky. If I had known, I would not have agreed. I thought it was a good job with free resources, but who knew that I would have to risk my life so soon."

But in the end, he could only sigh and jump into the elevator shaft.

Under the influence of gravity, her figure fell rapidly. After descending almost ten floors, she vaguely saw the ground. Six mechanical arms stretched out from Guan Ke's back and suddenly plunged into the surrounding walls. With the harsh sound of metal friction, her falling speed slowed down rapidly, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

The built-in flashlight in a mechanical arm was activated, and a beam of light shot out, illuminating the dark passage.

However, she was slightly stunned when the lights came on.

Because she found that the other three did not go too far, but stood still in a corner.

Chu Xiu was wearing a mask and could not see his expression, but the other two looked solemn, especially Zhang Qingshan, who was solemn and surprised.

"What's wrong?"

Guan Ke stepped forward, but stopped after a few steps.

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

Yes, a corpse.

The corpse was very strange, only the upper half was left, and the broken end stood straight on the ground, and under him was a pool of strange substance like black mud.

Both of his arms were cut off, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying before he died.

For some reason, when Guan Ke saw the corpse, she instinctively felt a fear in her heart, but she still forced a smile: "It's normal to have a corpse in this place, what's wrong, are you scared by this strange posture?"

"No, this corpse is very fresh." Su Jinyu's solemn voice sounded.

Guan Ke was stunned, and then she felt a chill running down her spine.

She looked carefully and found that the body in front of her was indeed recently dead, and even the blood on the ground had not completely coagulated.

But Guan Ke felt that this person's face was very unfamiliar. He was definitely not anyone in this exploration mission, nor was he any other high-level awakener in the camp.

This made her feel incredible. How could a completely stranger enter the underground before them?

And at this moment, Chu Xiu's serious voice sounded.

"I know this person."

"He is the Jidao who attacked me at the beginning."
