An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 103 Ambush
Chu Xiu, who was underground, was completely unaware that Ye Junlin, a top-tier second-generation heir, was on his way.

At this moment, he was completely focused on destroying the nest.

"Clang, clang."

The sound of the skeletal armor plates clashing echoed in the underground parking lot. Suddenly, several ghouls lunged at Chu Xiu, but after only a few steps, their speed noticeably slowed down. By the time they reached Chu Xiu, they looked like withered old men, their muscles shriveled up, and they could barely stand.

"boom!"

Chu Xiu casually smashed the corpse demon that rushed in front of him with a punch.

After upgrading to the Bone Armor, the area of ​​death of the Bone Armor not only expands further, but its effect is also greatly enhanced!
Ordinary ghouls couldn't even get close to him!

This made Chu Xiu feel like a death god walking among humans, spreading plague and leaving nothing but desolation wherever he went.

"This is only a +8 skeletal armor. When it reaches +10, I'm afraid even warrior-level monsters will have a hard time withstanding it!"

With this armor, Chu Xiu no longer needed to send the Yin Ghosts to scout ahead and cause unnecessary losses; he could simply charge through with his bare hands.

In this way, he quickly descended to the bottom level, and along the way, neither ordinary monsters nor elite monsters could pose any threat to him.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu paused, his gaze fixed on the monster deepest inside.

"Ho-"

With a deep hiss, a huge yet extremely agile figure emerged from the shadows. This creature resembled a lion or tiger four or five meters long, but it had no fur on its body, only withered skin like that of a ghoul. However, the surface of the skin was covered with a thin, hard shell. It stood on all fours, and four heads grew out of its back in a strange way. At this moment, all five heads were staring intently at Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu's heart tightened slightly.

Under the scrutiny of the Demon Eye, this was a level 9 elite warrior, the highest-level monster he had ever encountered!

The two stared at each other, and in the next instant, without saying a word, the mutated ghouls that filled the entire parking lot suddenly sprang up. At the same time, a large number of ghosts surged out from behind Chu Xiu and fought with the ghouls in the arena!
As for Chu Xiu, he pushed off with both feet, and the Berserk Heavenly Demon Hand appeared behind him, charging straight towards the deepest boss!

King versus king!
"boom!"

The two corpse demons that pounced from the side were directly blasted away by the berserk demon hand. In the blink of an eye, Chu Xiu crossed the distance of over a hundred meters in the parking lot and rushed to the front of the five corpse tigers!
"Oh!"

The berserk demonic hand slammed down, creating a huge crater in the ground. The corpse tiger nimbly leaped away, its five heads baring their sharp teeth and growling threateningly at Chu Xiu.

"So fast!"

At this moment, the Demon Eye finally observed the monster's three-dimensional data.

Chu Xiu glanced at it and immediately gasped. The five corpse tigers' physique was as high as 128.8!

With an increasingly serious look in his eyes, Chu Xiu stepped forward and unleashed a series of berserk demonic attacks. However, the corpse tiger moved swiftly to the left and right, easily dodging Chu Xiu's attacks each time. It was like a seasoned hunter, dodging while also looking for an opportunity to attack Chu Xiu!
Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and taking advantage of the moment when the other man dodged, he flicked his finger, and the bone-piercing nail shot out immediately!

"clang!"

The bone-piercing nail struck the corpse tiger's hard skin, making a crisp sound. The corpse tiger, in pain, immediately jumped away, but Chu Xiu noticed that the bone-piercing nail had only penetrated less than three centimeters! This was almost negligible for its massive body.

"Tsk, I've met my most troublesome opponent yet."

Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The Corpse Tiger in front of him was the kind of enemy he had imagined to be the most difficult to deal with. It was not a strength type, so it could easily dodge the attacks of the Berserk Demon Hand. At the same time, it had a considerable defensive capability, which prevented the Bone-Piercing Nail from causing too much damage. Unless Chu Xiu was willing to detonate the Blood Curse, it would be really difficult to deal with this guy in a short time.

"We can only rely on our defenses to slowly wear them down."

"My base attributes are still too low! I need to master the [Golden Embryo Rebirth] technique as soon as possible!"

Once his basic physique is improved, he will be able to approach enemies more easily, and his Berserk Demon Hand will have a better hit rate.

"At the same time, we can also consider using [Corpse Fire Tempering] to strengthen the Bone-Piercing Nail."

After completing these two tasks, Chu Xiu will have no weaknesses in the short term, and should be able to easily deal with monsters below the Warrior rank.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the roar of the Corpse Tiger pulled Chu Xiu back to reality. He stopped thinking and simply stopped attacking. His two berserk demon hands stood in front of him like two huge shields, preventing the Corpse Tiger from harming him in the slightest no matter how it attacked.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, was able to continuously accumulate injuries using the bone-piercing nails.

It's worth mentioning that the four heads on this corpse tiger's back can all spew a highly corrosive venom. However, even if this venom hits Chu Xiu, it won't harm him at all, thanks to the double protection of Elder Pain's robe and skeletal armor.

In this way, Chu Xiu patiently entangled the Corpse Tiger. After the ghost army had dealt with all the other corpse ghosts, dozens of ghosts began to circle around the Corpse Tiger and continuously use spells to entangle and attack it.

Ten minutes later, the enormous monster finally gave out and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

[Professional Experience +581]

[Item Obtained: 304 Causality Points]

[Equipment Obtained: Shadow Mask (Perfect)]

[Equipment Acquired:]

[Level Up!]

Current Rank: Warrior Level 5

"It's been upgraded again."

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, feeling the increase in power within his body.

"My physical condition is almost 80."

The significant increase in his physical condition greatly enhanced Chu Xiu's sense of security.

"However, that's far from enough!"

"The physical attribute points for the magic profession are not many. Only by mastering the secret body refining technique can one be comparable to the top professions."

Chu Xiu estimated that an S-rank melee class should have 50 points of constitution at level 1 of the warrior rank, and by level 5, their constitution would most likely exceed 100! In some extreme cases, reaching 120 would not be surprising!

There was no other way; Chu Xiu was following a balanced path after all. If he could crush others simply by leveling up Bai Jia's attribute points, that would be too unfair.

Without giving it any further thought, Chu Xiu turned his attention to the spoils of this trip.

"Finally, another [Perfect] piece of equipment dropped!"

[Shadow Warrior Mask]

[Level: Scholar]

[Quality: perfect]

【Attribute 1: Resistance to mental attacks +20.0】

[Attribute 2: When activated, it generates shadowy aura that covers the entire body and equipment, capable of burning any enemy it comes into contact with (Dark Attack +6.0)] [Evaluation: One of the standard equipment for Shadow Warriors, helping them resist the corruption from extraterrestrial demons.]

This is good equipment. Chu Xiu currently doesn't have any means to resist mental attacks. If he had this equipment when fighting the Avatar of Pain, he probably would have been able to withstand the opponent's curse.

Although there are very few enemies with mental attack capabilities, this is still a precaution. Moreover, the generated shadowy aura can slightly enhance the output ability. After activation, the aura surrounds the character, which looks like a special effect and is quite cool.

Chu Xiu experimented and found that it could also briefly attach to the bone-piercing nail for long-range attacks.

This pleased him greatly.

Putting on the mask, replacing the cheap one he had just bought, Chu Xiu then waved his hand and began refining the corpses in the field.

Of course, he refined that boss, the Corpse Tiger, into a resurrected corpse. This guy had very high attributes, so refining it would be a waste.

Because Chu Xiu slowly wore it down, the corpse was quite intact, reaching 86%, and could be immediately used as a decent fighting force.

Finally, after all the corpses were refined, a total of five more fierce ghosts and three more yin ghosts were added to Chu Xiu's collection, even after accounting for the losses.

The total number of evil spirits has now exceeded twenty.

The bone armor also leveled up, reaching +9, further enhancing its defensive capabilities.

However, Chu Xiu discovered that the energy required to reach +10 had increased dramatically, presumably because he needed to unlock the fourth layer of restrictions.

He's not in a hurry; he'll take it slow.

The accumulated causal points have reached 2200, which is only 800 away from the target, which is just a matter of one or two nests.

“The future is promising!”

Chu Xiu sighed and walked out to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave the parking lot, he suddenly stopped, a look of surprise on his face:

"I didn't expect these guys to actually dare to ambush me."

Meanwhile, outside the mall, a large number of awakened individuals gathered at the entrance, at least three times more than at the beginning.

The increase in the number of high-level awakened individuals is even more exaggerated; at this point, a total of nine warrior-level individuals have gathered!

These people are either high-level professionals or rich kids whose families have bought them powerful equipment; neither of them are easy to mess with.

Even more outrageous is that the group had already set up a complete firepower network at the entrance of the lair!
Thirteen heavy machine guns, five-barreled mortars, and a large number of bombs were deployed. Emergency fortifications were placed on both sides of the entrance to restrict the movement of the ghouls.

These defensive fortifications are an item obtained in the [Super Limit Evolution] world. As long as they are thrown on the ground, they will quickly generate extremely tough vines. At this time, a large number of vines almost completely surround the two sides of the nest entrance.

Behind the vines, hundreds of melee awakened warriors stood ready for battle.

In this situation, the moment Chu Xiu shows himself, he will be subjected to intense firepower! He himself may not care much, but his ghostly subordinates will definitely not be able to withstand it! Even if they enter [Soul Body] mode, they will be forcibly scattered! They won't even have anywhere to escape!
However, after waiting for a long time, the "King of the Night" did not appear, which made everyone's faces show anxiety.

Just then, three figures came running from a distance.

The person in the lead was a somewhat sinister-looking young man. To his left was a burly man nearly two meters tall, wearing gilded plate armor, and to his right was a cute girl floating in mid-air, flying close to the ground in a magic robe.

The appearance of the three caused a slight tension among the warrior-level awakened individuals.

"It's Ye Junlin!"

They were both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

Ye Junlin's appearance means that this hunting operation will be much safer, but it also means that they will not get the lion's share and can only drink the scraps.

Ignoring the expressions of others, Ye Junlin strode to the vicinity of the machine gun position, glanced around, and sneered, "What are you doing?"

"Establish an ambush position."

Someone stepped forward to introduce Ye Junlin, but was interrupted before they could finish speaking.

"Are you idiots?"

"You think the 'Night King' is one of those ghouls that only know how to say 'abba aba'?"

"Are you making such a big show of your ambush because you're afraid no one will notice? There are so many passageways in this mall, the people would have escaped long ago!"

After being harshly reprimanded, the man who stepped forward was also a little embarrassed. He was a well-known rich kid in Jiangcheng, and he had successfully risen to the rank of warrior with his talent. Usually, everyone treated him with utmost respect.

But he didn't dare to lash out and could only force a smile. After all, in front of Ye Junlin, he was nothing at all, while Ye Junlin was a young master from the capital.

"Alright, enough talk, pack your gear, organize the team, and follow me into the lair!" Ye Junlin commanded.

After saying that, he walked directly toward the entrance of the nest without any fear, with the girl and the armored man following behind.

The remaining nine warriors looked at each other in bewilderment, and hurriedly summoned high-level awakened individuals, who then followed Ye Junlin with heavy firepower equipment.

Soon, the group descended to the lowest level of the underground parking lot, and as Ye Junlin had said, the "Dark Night King" was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Junlin wasn't in a hurry. He turned to the girl in the magic robe beside him and said, "Anya, it's up to you."

The girl nodded, made a complex gesture, picked something up from the ground, and chanted a spell. As she chanted, countless pink threads appeared around her, gradually converging and extending forward before disappearing behind an iron gate.

Ye Junlin stepped forward to observe and found that the iron gate was ajar and showed signs of having been opened recently. He pushed it open with force, revealing the elevator shaft behind it. The elevator had been damaged, with dents on both sides, indicating that someone had used superhuman strength to leave from there.

"Humph."

Ye Junlin snorted and took the lead. He tapped a few times in the elevator shaft and ascended as if ignoring gravity. In just a few breaths, he rushed out of the eight-story area and arrived at the top of the mall.

At that moment, the thin pink lines also burst out from the rooftop, extending in one direction.
Ye Junlin squinted and looked in the direction indicated by the thin line, just in time to see a moving dark shadow.

"Got you."

Ye Junlin's lips curled into a wicked smile, and a pair of enormous steel wings suddenly unfurled behind him!

When fully extended, these wings spanned over eight meters, each feather gleaming with a metallic sheen and adorned with mysterious spiritual patterns, giving them an extremely mystical appearance.

The Warrior-class [Legendary] quality equipment, [Steel Witch Wings]!
"are you ready?"

Ye Junlin looked at the girl and the burly man who had just climbed out of the elevator shaft beside him and asked.

After receiving affirmative answers from the two, Ye Junlin laughed heartily, picked up one person in each arm, and with the flapping of his wings behind him, a violent tornado seemed to form on the spot. In the huge wind force, he soared into the sky like a divine eagle!
After reaching his peak, Ye Junlin's sharp phoenix eyes locked onto the dark figure not far away.

In the next instant, he nimbly turned around and changed direction, carrying the girl and the strong man, and rushed rapidly towards the dark figure!
