Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 323: Chapter 183: Purging Corrupted Creatures

In the abyss where one couldn’t see their own hand, Chu Xiu lay atop the giant dragon’s back, with the sound of rushing wind in his ears as they plummeted downward.

The closer they got to the bottom of the pit, the more they could feel the cold that seeped into the bone, like countless tiny insects crawling through the skin and into the bones.

Chu Xiu was indifferent, but next to him, Guan Ke, who had the weakest constitution, couldn’t help but instinctively tighten himself up.

No one knew how long it passed, but suddenly a faint light appeared in front of them.

It was the glow stick placed by the drone during its initial reconnaissance. This dim red light was the only source of light at the bottom of the deep pit.

In the blurred red light, faint shapes could be seen moving back and forth in the darkness, emitting a rustling sound.

”This is the place.”

As Chu Xiu’s voice fell, the dragon he was sitting on opened its mouth wide. A spark of fire lit up in its throat, and the next moment, it was like a gas-filled room being ignited, a hot dragon’s breath spewing from its mouth and rapidly expanding into a raging torrent!

The air was scorched, twisted, and deformed; flames rolled and spread in the air, turning into a massive downpour of fire. The dense darkness below was instantly dispelled, revealing the ugly faces of corrupted creatures. They howled at the sky in the direction of the dragon, but it wasn’t long before they were engulfed by the flames, their angry roars turning into piercing screams.

Zhang Qingshan commanded the dragon to circle in the sky, spewing flames indiscriminately downward. Before long, the entire area was turned into a sea of fire, this cooldown-free large-scale area attack skill leaving Chu Xiu somewhat astonished.

Su Jinyu and Guan Ke also showed shock on their faces.

As the last area was cleared, and with most of the corrupted creatures below burned to death, the dragon slowly descended with the four people.

”Beep.”

”Report in.”

As they were landing, the communication bracelet that Qin Xiang had given them earlier sounded appropriately with the other’s voice.

”Arrived at the designated area.”

”Arrived.”

One after another, reports sounded out. Chu Xiu glanced down; the bracelet had a small display screen connected to the detection device, capable of real-time updates of the surrounding map, also showing the positions of everyone with glowing dots.

At this moment, the nearest King Tier to Chu Xiu was seven or eight kilometers away, and everyone had pre-planned their routes of action. They wouldn’t intersect along the way, maintaining a distance where support was always possible.

”This bracelet, in a sense, is Qin Xiang’s way of protecting me?”

It seems Qin Xiang also knew that the other three King Tiers were not trustworthy. Perhaps even he couldn’t be sure if any of the three would act against Chu Xiu for their own interests.

With this device, they could confirm everyone’s positions in real time, making it much more difficult for anyone who wanted to harm Chu Xiu to act.

”However, on the flip side, it can also track my location.”

Chu Xiu touched his chin, pressed the communication button, and said, ”Chen Ce is in position.”

”Alright, everyone follows the original plan. Remember, the main purpose of this action is reconnaissance, to explore the passage to the underground region. Don’t rush in alone.”

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

”Captain, what do we do next?” Zhang Qingshan cautiously surveyed the surroundings and asked.

Chu Xiu said, ”Guan Ke, release all your reconnaissance devices for a wide range of detection. Don’t worry about stealth; report any corrupted creatures you find, and I’ll have my summoned creatures assist in eliminating them. Zhang Qingshan, provide aerial support. We’ll follow the planned route and fight our way through.”

At these words, Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan were taken aback, while Su Jinyu remained calm.

”Isn’t this... too risky?” Zhang Qingshan pondered, ”We still don’t understand the environment at the bottom of the pit, nor do we know the enemy’s strength and numbers. Rushing in recklessly could lead to ambushes. Even though you’re strong, Captain, to be safe, I think we should focus on reconnaissance as Qin advised, right?”

He was offering a suggestion, his expression towards Chu Xiu filled with surprise, perhaps not expecting that the legendary Dark Night Monarch would be so impulsive.

However, facing Zhang Qingshan’s suggestion, Chu Xiu simply stated calmly, ”No need, we’ll fight our way through, maximizing the battle outcome.”

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan didn’t say anything more.

Even though he was not satisfied with Chu Xiu’s decision, he knew the importance of following the captain’s orders in a team. If everyone had their own ideas, the entire team would become a mess.

With a gust of wind, Zhang Qingshan rode the dragon and soared into the sky. Guan Ke swiped lightly on her mechanical arm, and the mechanical backpack she carried opened to both sides, releasing a flock of mechanical sparrows that dispersed in all directions.

At the same time, Chu Xiu raised his hand, and instantly, a multitude of ghosts rushed out from the Hundred Souls Banner!

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

In just a blink of an eye, a full two thousand ghosts charged out, including two hundred fierce-tier fierce ghosts!

The wailing Yin souls filled the sky, swirling crazily around the four, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by over ten degrees.

This horrifying scene left Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Not brothers? You, a fierce tier, with two thousand summoned creatures???
