Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 325: Chapter 183: Purging Corrupted Creatures_3

Chu Xiu could not possibly divide his consciousness into thousands of parts to manipulate all the ghosts. Most of the time, he would issue simple commands and let the ghosts complete them autonomously. In such cases, it was almost impossible to avoid the opponent’s ambush.

If he forcibly advanced, a considerable number of ghosts would likely be lost!

”Qin Xiang was right. The scouting profession is indeed necessary.”

”If I don’t want to carry a burden, I must unlock a skill that can scout a large area as soon as possible,” Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Under Guan Ke’s reconnaissance, Chu Xiu successfully avoided many ambushes and traps, quickly clearing out a dozen squads of Corrupted Soldiers.

Of course, there were certainly ambushes that Guan Ke couldn’t detect, but overall, the losses of the Ghostly Legion were significantly reduced. The life souls gained from killing the corrupted creatures were sufficient compensation, with quite a few leftovers.

During this process, Chu Xiu made a surprising discovery.

The mobility range of the mechanical constructs controlled by Guan Ke was actually larger than that of his ghosts! They could even move beyond ten kilometers from their original body!

”Consciousness Attachment truly deserves to be a top-tier S-Class talent,” Chu Xiu sighed inwardly, even instinctively calculating whether to use the Hand of Deprivation to take Guan Ke’s talent.

Of course, this was just his instinct. Naturally, Chu Xiu wouldn’t be foolish enough to take such a small benefit at the risk of deviating from the established order. Besides, his current Hand of Deprivation level wasn’t high enough, being mere freebies from previous trials. Stripping away at least three levels was too costly.

As Chu Xiu pondered over strange thoughts, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the sky. Chu Xiu looked up and saw Zhang Qingshan’s giant dragon spewing a torrent of flames downwards. Its body seemed to grow rapidly under some mysterious power; in just a few seconds, it visibly expanded.

”It leveled up, huh.”

Indeed, having a giant dragon with a large-scale attack skill makes leveling up much faster. Zhang Qingshan had already reached Level 3 during previous cleansing operations and probably accumulated a lot of experience. After eliminating a few waves of corrupted creatures, he leveled up again.

This filled Guan Ke’s eyes with envy.

”I, um...” She hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, ”I’ve found a lot of scattered weapons around. Can I collect them and equip them on my mechanical constructs?”

Chu Xiu glanced at the anxious Guan Ke and suddenly smiled warmly.

”Of course you can.”

”As a Mechanician, this place is like a treasure trove for you. I understand.”

If Guan Ke wanted to build a mechanical army, a large number of firearms would be essential, and these things weren’t cheap. A single heavy machine gun with enough ammunition costs at least tens of thousands in the market, and that’s just for basic weapons suitable for Warrior Tier combat.

Those high-tier cannons and fire cannons are absurdly expensive. Their costs alone are high, and the military would rip you off when selling them.

Here, there’s abundant equipment on site. Even those destroyed anti-aircraft cannons can be disassembled using special Mechanician methods to yield good parts, saving a lot of money in an already resource-tight Mechanician profession.

”I’ll give you some ghosts to help with the dismantling. You also can ride on this thing.”

Chu Xiu pointed, and a large Fierce Tier Resurrected Corpse walked out.

The previous fusion naturally didn’t consume all the Resurrected Corpses. Some unsuitable ones were left behind, only strengthened once through the Corpse Fire.

This fellow was over five meters tall, moved quite swiftly, and was no longer useful in battle for Chu Xiu. But it served well as a mount.

”You’ll be on top, so you can refine weapons into your mechanical constructs while traveling and send them out timely to farm monsters.”

Chu Xiu’s words left Guan Ke astonished as she looked at him, never expecting the Dark Night Monarch to be so kind. Once realizing this, she quickly thanked him.

Then, she hurriedly pulled out dozens of mechanical hounds from her Storage Space, leading Chu Xiu’s ghosts towards the scattered high-value weapons nearby.

As Guan Ke’s figure disappeared into the distance, Chu Xiu retracted his gaze, meeting Su Jinyu’s surprised expression just in time.

”What? You think I couldn’t possibly be so kind?” Chu Xiu looked at her with a half-smile.

Su Jinyu was startled, hurriedly shaking her head.

Chu Xiu chuckled, ”No need to be so nervous. I’m not some moody monster. You complete your task as agreed, and I’ll give you the Resurrection Wine.”

”Yes,” Su Jinyu nodded, relieved.

After a short pause, she couldn’t help but ask, ”Do you have a good relationship with that girl? To help her selflessly like that.”

”Selfless? Not really,” Chu Xiu laughed it off. ”I placed a tracker on the mount I gave her. I also hid a Ghost General nearby. If the communication device has any tricks or someone tries to harm me, I can find out immediately.”

Su Jinyu:...

She just knew it.

At that moment, Chu Xiu added, ”No rush, you have a share too.”

As he spoke, he handed her a piece of [Pollutants].

Su Jinyu:...

She now deeply regretted why she opened her mouth and asked such a question! But seeing Chu Xiu’s determined demeanor, it was evident he’d planned to bring it up anyway, so she could only reluctantly accept it.
