Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 188: Chapter 137: The Path to Clearing the Trial (Part 3)

In fact, right under the wooden table in front of the ghost-faced man, there was a quick alarm device, but he knew that if he pressed it, he would only die faster.

These guard teams were mostly composed of Warrior Tier and Fierce Tier creatures of various races, and their equipment was fine, not much weaker than Awakened of the same level.

Having understood everything, Chu Xiu prepared to leave the room.

The ghost-faced man put on a flattering smile, ”Sir, I’ve done everything you asked, could you spare my life?”

Chu Xiu nodded.

The ghost-faced man’s eyes lit up, and he licked his lips again, ”What about the ’Paradise Grass’ we talked about before...”

With a flick of his hand, Chu Xiu tossed the wooden box back into the ghost-faced man’s arms. His eyes immediately filled with wild joy, as if his addiction had long been waiting and he could barely contain it; as soon as he got it, he hurriedly reached for it.

However, at this moment, the Celestial Demon Hand appeared without warning, instantly crushing his head.

With a loud bang, blood splattered all over the room.

Chu Xiu turned around, expressionless, and picked up the Paradise Grass again, putting it away.

This thing, which could be exchanged for Destiny Chips, he certainly wouldn’t let it go.

Moreover, for a gambler and addict like the ghost-faced man, he couldn’t possibly leave him alive, the variables were too great.

Letting him die in anticipation and joy was Chu Xiu’s small mercy towards him.

”Bang.”

He pushed the door open and strode out.

It was only then that he realized he was inside an iron house whose walls were made from concrete and a large amount of steel, and not far from him were three similar houses. At this moment, two men and a woman were chatting in the center formed by the four houses.

Seeing Chu Xiu come out, one of the men waved at him and smiled, ”You finally came out. If you hadn’t come out, we were about to go in and find you.”

This man had quite a handsome face, his smile was very sunny, with eyes that curved into crescents, coupled with a white robe, he gave off a very approachable and gentle impression.

In contrast, Chu Xiu was wearing the bizarre and sinister Immortal Corpse King Mask, draped in a black robe, and covered in the ghost-faced man’s blood, looking every bit like a shady psychopath.

However, since Awakened each had their own oddities, the three showed no concern. The man who had greeted him earlier extended his hand, ”My name is Song Lichuan, and your name is?”

”Chen Ce.”

”Ah, so you’re Brother Chen, let me introduce you. This lovely lady is Bian Guanyue, and this is Lin Ji.”

The two standing next to Song Lichuan both had rather distinctive auras. Bian Guanyue was tall with a natural air of heroism between her brows, carrying a long spear on her back. Lin Ji looked like an ordinary person and seemed a bit restrained next to the other two, but the equipment on him was clearly of high grade, indicating he was of notable background.

Of course, given the difficulty of the gamble, it was clear those who made it through were not simple.

Yet Chu Xiu noticed that among the three, only Song Lichuan was unscathed, his white robe spotless, while others bore some bloodstains. Lin Ji’s left shoulder armor, in particular, had a large, obvious fracture, clearly having taken quite a hit in the gamble earlier.

However, judging from his current state, he seemed to have healed his injuries with some kind of healing artifact.

As he quietly observed the three of them, the others were also sizing him up. A few seconds later, Bian Guanyue gave Chu Xiu a slight nod, while Lin Ji extended his hand warmly, ”May I ask where Brother Chen is from? We might have a chance to collaborate in the future.”

”Jiang City.”

”Jiang City?” Lin Ji showed a look of surprise and blurted out, ”You’re not from the Inner City?”
