Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 349: Chapter 191: Poison Claw Corpse (Part 2)

”Hmph, relying on these ants only further proves that the Calamity is at the end of its rope, with no more tricks to play.” Mu Wu said with a relaxed face.

Saying this, he intended to move forward.

But he was stopped by Qin Xiang.

”Never underestimate any enemy, especially these High-Tier beings we don’t understand.”

”If I’m not mistaken, this move is not aimed at us, but to hold back our support forces at the rear.” Qin Xiang judged.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the communication artifact sent a message confirming Qin Xiang’s judgment. Those Low-Tier corrupted creatures did not forcibly surround the few of them, but instead targeted other Awakened descending into the abyss for a slaughter!

The bulk of this battle force was still the awakened of Mortal and General Tiers. Even with modern weapons to aid them, these swarms of corrupted residents posed a significant threat!

The three King Tiers remained indifferent, only Qin Xiang was worried about the others and began to make commands on the scene.

This made Mu Wu somewhat displeased, thinking it slowed down their progress. However, Li Zhan said, ”Given the opponent’s well-planned actions, I’m afraid they have special means to deal with us. We should proceed steadily, rest briefly to recover, and face formidable foes in top condition. That is the prudent strategy.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Wu said nothing more, consumed a recovery artifact, and silently rested in place.

As for Chu Xiu, he had no objections, as he just happened to need time to refine the Poison Claw Corpses in his Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch.

The refining of these three Poison Claw Corpses was almost complete, and if it could be settled before the battle with the Calamity, it would give him greater confidence and allow him to seize more benefits from under the other King Tier’s noses.

Moreover, Chu Xiu recalled the mysterious man in the plantation who shot him and then retreated gracefully, feeling that this operation might not go as smoothly as everyone imagined.

Further enhancing his power would also enable him to handle any potential changes more effectively.

With a determined mind, he focused on the refining process.

Thanks to the ”Perfect Refining,” the process went very smoothly, with all the energy from the flesh being absorbed by the corpses of the three Blood Demon followers, gradually strengthening and transforming their forms.

Ordinary demon cultivators would require several times more flesh to refine a Poison Claw Corpse and still face the risk of failure!

”As expected of an SSS-level talent.” Chu Xiu couldn’t help but exclaim again.

Under his focused refining, in just ten minutes, three powerful forces emanated from the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, causing Chu Xiu’s expression to change to one of delight.

Success!

He quickly released his Divine Sense to firmly cover the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, preventing any aura from leaking out.

After observing that the other four had not noticed him, he confidently checked inside.

Chu Xiu extended his thoughts into the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, where he saw three tall figures standing silently in the middle.

Their size was between that of a Flying Corpse and an Iron Armor Corpse, also humanoid, with long arms almost reaching their calves, and the most striking feature being the pair of mysteriously metallic, gleaming green long claws in their hands.

With a thought, Chu Xiu further inspected the attributes of these three entities.

These three refined corpses, made from the bodies of Blood Demon followers and absorbing so much flesh, had reached Level 9 of the General Tier as soon as they were born, with constitutions all exceeding four thousand, with the strongest reaching even four thousand five hundred points!

This data was typically only seen in advanced Abyssal King Tier beings, showcasing the high grade of the refining quality of the corpses using Demon Dao methods, with their basic attributes far exceeding their peers at the same level.

Of course, as undead beings, the weaknesses were also evident, which were their low Spirit and Energy levels.

The former made them highly susceptible to mental attacks, while the latter meant their skill configuration was not impressive.

However, the mighty predecessors of the Demon Dao had naturally considered this point.

The corpses’ Spirit is directly linked to Chu Xiu’s main body, allowing him to withstand some mental attacks for his refined corpses, while the strong traits brought by the unique structure of the refining process detailed in the Corpse Refining Manual compensated for the lack in skills.

”The Flying Corpse’s wings provide unparalleled mobility, with flying speed surpassing the Four-winged Strange Bird! And it’s not just about high speed, but also agility and evasion are unbelievably fast!”

”The Iron Armor Corpse boasts extremely strong defense, capable of spreading its body to protect the master, serving as a perfect tank.”

”As for the Poison Claw Corpse, its most notable feature is certainly that pair of poisonous claws, which makes it an average performer in all areas, yet pushes offensive capabilities to the extreme among special refined corpses!”

At this moment, the three Poison Claw Corpses had just been born and still retained a strong ferocity. Although many restrictions firmly held them in place, they continued to roar incessantly within the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch.

Chu Xiu didn’t hasten to activate the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch to subdue these three refined corpses, but instead directed the Iron Armor Corpse to slowly approach.

Upon reaching a certain distance, one of the Poison Claw Corpses suddenly shot out a tail spike like a whip, striking the chest of the Iron Armor Corpse!

The impact wasn’t significant; the large body of the Iron Armor Corpse showed no sign of swaying, but a small hole a few centimeters deep appeared in the several dozen centimeters thick, much harder-than-Hundred-Forged Steel, gray Heavy Armor.

This small hole wasn’t even thumb-sized, virtually negligible for the Iron Armor Corpse.

But in the next moment, a horrifying scene unfolded—a patch of rotten green spread from the small hole, rapidly corroding the armor of the Iron Armor Corpse!
