Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 241: Chapter 154: Bottomless Pit (Part 2)

”But this is great for me, at least my Fierce Soul Banner won’t lack food replenishment.”

Chu Xiu didn’t think much more, instead focusing on the scene before him.

Although the souls of these corrupted subterranean new humans were very weak, their sheer numbers were enough, even if they were inferior, to feed a large number of Fierce Ghosts.

”Refining the Hundred Souls Banner is within reach!”

”But I must also be cautious of any stronger creatures here, to avoid a mishap.”

With this in mind, Chu Xiu looked down into the abyss.

There it seemed as if there was something that swallowed all light, so dark that Chu Xiu’s Perception Ability could not see the bottom at all.

For some reason, Chu Xiu suddenly recalled a rumor from a marketing account in his past life.

It was said that the Soviet Union had once dug a mine that was tens of thousands of meters deep, but later abruptly halted the excavation. The official reason given was lack of funds, but there were rumors that they had unearthed something horrifying underground, prompting the higher-ups to stop the operation.

The abyss before him was like a giant mine shaft magnified a thousand times! Just gazing at it gave one goosebumps and filled the heart with fear.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Xiu concealed his presence, letting a Fierce Ghost silently drift near a subterranean human and gently swipe with its sharp claws.

The subterranean human, caught unprepared, lost its balance and plummeted straight into the endless abyss!

Amidst a harrowing scream, its figure swiftly shrank and was soon completely swallowed by darkness, the scream fading away until it vanished entirely.

Chu Xiu stood listening intently, but despite waiting for ages, no echo returned.

After some thought, he repeated the tactic, pushing another subterranean human down. However, this time, he added a touch of Jade Poison Corpse Fire to it.

Suddenly, the ghostly green flames illuminated the pitch-black abyss, and Chu Xiu controlled the power of the corpse fire so that the subterranean human wouldn’t be burnt up immediately, but would instead keep emitting a shrill scream.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu remained completely hidden, ensuring he wouldn’t be noticed.

In Chu Xiu’s sight, the jade green flames shrank continuously, and after a full two minutes still hadn’t reached the bottom. Just as Chu Xiu began to doubt whether the pit had a bottom, the Jade Poison Nether Fire abruptly disappeared.

It wasn’t extinguished because the subterranean human was burnt out, but was instead as if swallowed whole by a gargantuan beast, vanishing in an instant!

Chu Xiu’s expression suddenly tensed. He felt a vast, ancient consciousness from deep within rising slowly toward the surface, as if his actions had awakened some slumbering entity!

A familiar nausea surged into Chu Xiu’s mind, a feeling identical to when he previously contacted those Blood Demon Parts, only far more intense!

Simultaneously, countless low whispers began resounding in Chu Xiu’s ears, though he couldn’t understand their language, these murmurs sparked a sudden, violent rage within him, leaving him startled!

Merely touching upon that ancient will had already affected his spirit!

At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly realized a problem, and his face changed drastically!

”Not good!”

Before he could take any action, the Immortal Corpse King Talisman on his neck suddenly brightened, unleashing an extraordinarily strong Mental Attack directly towards the abyss!

The automatic protection of the Immortal Corpse King Talisman! It had launched an attack at the unknown presence in the depths the moment Chu Xiu became tainted!

After ascending to the Fierce Tier, the retaliatory power of this Legendary Equipment had surged three to four times! It could even instantly kill an ordinary Fierce Tier Awakened! As the impact conducted to the abyss bottom, Chu Xiu only felt a soul-piercing shriek emanate from the depths!

In the next moment, the entire abyss seemed to come alive, and those densely packed subterranean humans clinging to its edges began awakening. They stretched their limbs, emitting nerve-wracking howls, and crawled on all fours frantically towards Chu Xiu!

Witnessing this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly, never had he anticipated such consequences from a random test!

”Whoosh!”

A piercing sound cut through the air, as one of the subterranean humans reached Chu Xiu first, thrusting a steel spear at him!

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, not intending to back down now, and reached out to grab the spear, though the force felt in his palm made him slightly surprised.

The attacker was only a Warrior Tier Level 3, but its Power Attribute surpassed a hundred! Far exceeding an ordinary creature of the Same Tier!

What’s more surprising to Chu Xiu was that, upon realizing its strength was inferior to his, the subterranean human didn’t retreat at all, instead abandoning the spear to draw an iron plate from its waist to stab at Chu Xiu!

”Bang!”

Chu Xiu extended his other hand, swiftly shattering its head, and with the immense force, the rock-covered body was flung far, falling into the abyss below.

These Low Tier subterranean humans were naturally no match for Chu Xiu, but the brief encounter made him realize these creatures possessed much greater power than Same Tier beings and had excellent combat instincts!

Moreover, they knew not fear, and their rock-like skin increased their Defense, although they couldn’t hurt Chu Xiu, the sheer numbers could become incredibly troublesome! If surrounded, there was a real danger of being worn down to death!
