Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Pollution Core, Demon Sacrifice?

When Yang Xin saw Li Qizheng gasping for breath, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, muttering, ”So strong!”

She had faced Li Qizheng before, but due to Li Qizheng’s own Level, the Demon’s uniqueness, and the surrounding attacks of others,

she could only flee in embarrassment.

But now he was defeated in a single move.

Yang Xin quickly raised her voice to warn, ”Watch out, the Demon’s life force is tenacious!”

As Yang Xin’s words fell,

the headless corpse suddenly began to emit black mist, forming tentacles that instantly reattached the head onto the headless body.

Li Qizheng growled, ”Damn it! Damn it!”

He couldn’t believe such a terrifying attack could happen again.

But in the next moment,

a shout was heard, ”Overlord Fist!”

A massive shadow instantly dashed forward, a fist carrying unparalleled power, stirring the surrounding air.

The terrifying force created a giant wind pressure, blowing outward.

’Bang!’

Li Qizheng, relying on the Demon’s power, had barely survived but this punch carried a dreadful power.

Upon contact, Li Qizheng heard the sound of countless bones cracking in his body.

’Bang!’

Li Qizheng burst like a water-filled bag, blood blooming.

A burst of flame emerged, consuming the half-broken corpse, instantly turning it all into charcoal.

Yang Xin swallowed hard. This was a Level-22 Demon, Demons who had pledged to the Abyss, receiving Abyssal Blessing and protection.

They were no different from Abyssal Creatures, and some powerful Demons were even stronger than Abyssal Creatures at the Abyss Edge.

Demons also enjoyed damage reduction belonging to Abyssal Creatures.

Yet surprisingly, he was defeated in just two moves!

This...

She even began to doubt whether everything before her was a delusion before death.

”Kill them all!”

Shen Fei squinted his eyes slightly because this was indeed a Demon. After killing that person earlier, he surprisingly got a system prompt.

[You’ve killed Level-22 Abyssal Creature ’Li Qizheng,’ Experience +23%]

Killing Demons grants experience?

The other Demons saw their leader instantly defeated and without hesitation turned to leave, but in the next moment, serpentine vines burst out from the ground,

binding all the fleeing Blood Demons.

In the next moment,

several Fire Dragons appeared out of nowhere, carrying extremely high temperatures, instantly turning the Blood Demons within the vines to ashes.

A succession of experience prompt sounds echoed.

Quickly, a prompt sound rang.

[Your Level has been raised to: Level 11]

”Demon experience is quite generous, isn’t it?”

Shen Fei felt somewhat pleased, then turned his gaze to Yang Xin, ”Little Ji, help heal her.”

”Okay.”

The Empress slightly parted her red lips and pointed a finger, a green light falling onto Yang Xin, making her pause and swallow her saliva.

Because after the Empress used the skill, she surprisingly received a system prompt.

[Summoner’s Summoned Beast ’Five Elements Empress’ used skill ’Green Emperor’s Blessing’ on you, greatly enhancing recovery speed, increasing self-recovery effect by 500% for 24 hours]

Such a freakish skill?

And what did she just see—this beautiful woman is a Summoned Beast?

Yang Xin considered herself a beauty, but in terms of temperament, she was completely crushed by this woman before her.

So domineering, so oppressive.

Darn it!

Even Yang Xin couldn’t help but curse.

The Vast Heaven Holy Spirit respectfully placed Shen Fei down, and Yang Xin saw the previously brutal Vast Heaven Holy Spirit being so respectful to this young man.

”Thank you for saving my life, may I know your name?”

”Shen Fei.”

”Uh, what about them?” Yang Xin paused when she saw Shen Fei’s slightly youthful face.

Why does he look like a high school student?

But she shook her head, chuckling to herself; no high schooler could be this strong.

”Don’t worry about them. I’m more curious about why they are chasing you.” Shen Fei didn’t explain about the Vast Heaven Holy Spirit, the Five Elements Empress, or the Stabbing Immortal who had once again escaped into the Void.

He had just heard Yang Xin mention sacrifice?

Yang Xin felt much steadier after receiving some treatment and took out a token, engraved with two characters ’Wu Xia,’ first verifying her identity.

”I am Yang Xin, a sophomore at Jiangshui University. I found the Pollution Core in the Second Area of the Abyss Edge.

Demons are capturing Professionals for sacrifices, allowing Abyssal Creatures to arrive faster. I must return quickly to find reinforcements!”

”Sacrifice? Pollution Core?”

Shen Fei carefully captured the key information.

He recalled there was a task in Breaking Abyss Army about locating a Pollution Core, which directly rewarded military rank.

”Hmm!”

”What’s the deal with the sacrifice?” Shen Fei suddenly remembered the Level-25 Blood Demon Centurion. Could this be the reason it emerged?

”This is the Second Area of the Abyss Edge. You should know the Abyss Edge is divided into five areas, do you know why?”

”I don’t!” Shen Fei shook his head.

Honestly, he found it odd.

Could Abyssal Creatures invade, still requiring division into various areas?

Why are the Abyssal Creatures in the First Area relatively weak, getting stronger as you go further?

Abyssal Creatures aren’t training zones.

Yang Xin found it curious; with Shen Fei’s strength, he should know this information, but she quickly explained nonetheless.

”Because of Abyssal Power, the Pollution Core is actually the Abyssal Power Passage of each area. The deeper you go, the greater the Abyssal Power.”

”And now those Demons intend to sacrifice, expanding the Pollution Core in the Second Area. To draw an analogy, with larger area numbers, closer proximity to the Abyss...

If the Demons increase the Abyssal Power concentration of Area ’2’ to ’5,’ then the Second Area will become another energy release core...”

Shen Fei understood.

Could this be why the Blood Demon Centurion appeared in the Second Area?

Because the Abyssal Power concentration was sufficient!

”So now we must return for reinforcements. After investigating, they have at least near Level-30 and a lot of them!”

Yang Xin spoke.

”A lot of them, Level-30?”

Shen Fei’s eyes brightened; wouldn’t this be a wealth of experience.

With Summoned Beasts equipped with Legendary Terms.

At Level-1, they could crush a Level-15 Lord Wild Boar King, and now he has a total of three Summoned Beasts.

No need to fear Level-30 Demons at all?

That’s all experience and military merit!

”Lead the way!”

Shen Fei’s words made Yang Xin, who planned to leave, pause in surprise, ”Wait, those are Level-30 Demons! We should return for reinforcements!

Hey, don’t you have a medal? You can inform the Breaking Abyss Army when necessary!”

”I’ve already discovered the appearance of a Level-25 Blood Demon Centurion in the Second Area earlier.

If you return for reinforcements, their sacrifice might have already succeeded!”

Shen Fei heard that the Second Area might also become the Fifth Area, feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.

Then it could lead to an Abyssal siege, and the number of deaths in Shencheng City would be unknown.

”But...”

Yang Xin swallowed hard.

Shen Fei frowned, ”If you’re too afraid to go, then give me the location.”

”I’ll go with you!”

Yang Xin gritted her teeth, gaining confidence from the earlier act of slaughtering the Level-22 Demon.

”Get on, lead the way!”

Shen Fei signaled the Vast Heaven Holy Spirit to place Yang Xin on its shoulder while he sat on the other side.
