Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 110: Chapter 102: Ambush (Part 2)

[Acquired Equipment: Shadow Mask (Perfect)]

[Acquired Equipment: ...]

[Level Up!]

[Current Level: Warrior Tier 5]

”Leveled up again.”

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes in satisfaction, feeling the increase in power within his body.

”Constitution is almost 80.”

The significant boost in constitution made Chu Xiu feel much more secure.

”However, it’s still far from enough!”

”The constitution attribute points for Demonic Professions aren’t many; only after mastering the Body Refining Secret Technique can one compare to top-tier professionals.”

Chu Xiu estimated that an S-Class close combat profession would have about 50 points in constitution just at Warrior Tier Level 1, and by Level 5, the constitution is likely to exceed 100! Some extreme cases could even reach 120!

No way around it, after all, Chu Xiu is on a balanced route. If simply leveling up could crush others, that would be too unfair.

Without thinking further, Chu Xiu shifted his gaze to the loot from this time.

”Finally got another [Perfect] piece of equipment!”

[Shadow Warrior Mask]

[Tier: Warrior]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Attribute One: Resistance to Mental Attack +20.0]

[Attribute Two: Active Activation can generate Shadow Demon Energy to cover the whole body and equipment, burning any enemy it touches (Dark Attack +6.0)]

[Evaluation: One of the standard equipment for Shadow Warriors, helping them resist invasion from Outer Realm Demons.]

Not bad equipment, Chu Xiu didn’t have any means to resist mental attacks at present. If he had this equipment while fighting the Pain Incarnation, he might have been able to withstand the opponent’s curse and fight.

Though enemies with mental attacks are very few, this counts as precautionary action, and the generated Shadow Demon Energy slightly enhances output capabilities. Once activated, surrounded by energy, it’s quite a cool effect.

Chu Xiu experimented a bit and found it can temporarily attach to the Bone-Piercing Nail for long-range attacks.

This made him quite satisfied.

Putting on the mask, replacing the cheap one he bought casually before, Chu Xiu then began refining the corpses on the field with a wave of his hand.

Of course, he refined the boss Corpse Tiger into a Resurrected Corpse because of its high attributes, refining it would be a waste.

As Chu Xiu slowly exhausted it to death, the body’s integrity was quite high, directly reaching 86%, immediately usable as decent combat power.

When all corpses were refined, it added five Fierce Ghosts and three Yin Ghosts to Chu Xiu’s forces, even counting the losses.

The total number of Fierce Ghosts has now broken twenty.

The Skeleton Armor also leveled up by one, reaching +9, with further enhanced defense.

However, Chu Xiu noticed that reaching +10 required a sharp increase in energy, probably because of unlocking the Fourth Layer Restriction.

He’s not in a rush, taking his time.

The accumulation of Cause and Effect Points reached 2200, just 800 short of the target, roughly one or two more nests away.

”The future is promising!”

Chu Xiu sighed contentedly and prepared to leave.

But just as he was about to leave the parking lot, he suddenly stopped, a look of surprise on his face:

”Didn’t expect those guys would still have the guts to block me.”

...

At the same time, outside the mall, a large number of Awakened gathered at the entrance, at least three times more than initially.

The increase in high-tier Awakeners was even more astonishing, with nine full Warriors Tier gathered!

These people were either A Grade professionals or rich second-generation with powerful equipment bought by their families, none of whom were easy to mess with.

More astonishingly, they had set up a complete firepower network at the nest entrance!

Thirteen heavy machine guns, five mortars, a large number of grenades, and emergency fortifications on both sides of the entrance to restrict the activity of Corpse Demons.

These fortifications are artifacts obtained from the [Super Evolution] world. Once thrown on the ground, they instantly generate extremely tough vines, nearly enclosing both sides of the nest entrance.

Behind the vines, hundreds of close combat Awakeners were ready and waiting.

In this situation, once Chu Xiu appeared, he would suffer intense firepower attacks! He personally might not mind, but his ghostly subordinates definitely wouldn’t withstand it! Even in [Soul Body] mode, they would be directly shattered with no escape!

However, after waiting for so long, ”Dark Night Monarch” hadn’t shown up, making everyone anxious.

Just then, three figures came running from afar.

First was a slightly sinister-looking youth, to his left a giant man nearly two meters tall wearing a gilded plate armor, to the right a cute girl flying low in a magic robe.

Their appearance made the Warrior Tier Awakeners slightly nervous.

”It’s Ye Junlin!”

They heaved a sigh of relief, though slightly disappointed.

Ye Junlin’s appearance meant this hunt would be more assured, but it also meant they wouldn’t get the main share, only following along for scraps.

Not caring about others’ expressions, Ye Junlin strode to the machine gun positions, glanced around, and sneered: ”What are you doing?”

”Setting up an ambush...”

Someone stepped up enthusiastically to introduce Ye Junlin, but was interrupted before finishing.

”Are you idiots?”

”Treating the ’Dark Night Monarch’ like those zombie demons who can only groan ’Aba Aba’?”

”So openly staging an ambush, afraid others won’t notice? With so many passages in the mall, they’ve already escaped long ago!”

Reprimanded harshly, the frontman felt embarrassed; he was a well-known rich kid in Jiang City, successful in reaching Warrior Tier with his not-bad talent. Usually, who wasn’t respectful to him?

But he dared not retaliate, only smiling apologetically; after all, in Ye Junlin’s presence, he was nothing. Ye Junlin was the young master from Kyoto.

”Enough, quit wasting time, pack up the equipment, and organize the team to follow me into the nest!” Ye Junlin commanded.

After speaking, he fearlessly walked towards the nest entrance, followed by the young girl and armored giant.

The remaining nine Warrior Tier exchanged glances, hurriedly called high-tier Awakeners, and followed behind Ye Junlin with heavy firepower equipment.

Quickly, they reached the bottommost layer of the underground parking lot, as Ye Junlin said, the ”Dark Night Monarch” was nowhere to be found.

Ye Junlin wasn’t anxious, turning to the robed girl beside him, ”Anya, it’s up to you.”

The girl nodded, made a complex gesture, picked something from the ground, and chanted a spell. As she chanted, countless pink threads appeared, gradually gathering and extending forward, finally disappearing behind an iron door.

Ye Junlin observed, noticing the iron door was ajar, recently opened, he gave a push, opening it to reveal the elevator shaft. The elevator was destroyed, with dents on each side, clearly someone used Monster Strength to leave through here.

”Hmph.”

Ye Junlin snorted, led the way, lightly tapped in the shaft, seeming to defy gravity, quickly traversing eight floors, reaching the mall rooftop.

Meanwhile, the pink threads also reached the rooftop, extending in one direction.

Ye Junlin squinted, followed the thread’s direction, glimpsing a moving shadow.

”Found you.”

Ye Junlin’s lips curved into a wicked smile, massive steel wings suddenly spread behind him!

When fully extended, they surpassed eight meters, each feather emitting a metallic sheen, inscribed with intricate spiritual patterns, appearing extraordinary.

Warrior Tier [Legend] quality equipment [Steel Witch’s Wings]!

”Are you ready?”

Ye Junlin asked the giant man and robed girl climbing out of the elevator shaft.

Receiving their affirmation, Ye Junlin laughed, carrying both, with wings flapping, a violent vortex formed, as they ascended like an eagle!

Reaching the peak, Ye Junlin locked his sharp phoenix-like eyes onto the shadow ahead.

In the next moment, he agilely changed direction, diving rapidly towards the shadow with the girl and giant man!
