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

Chapter 11 Hunting Monsters
The next morning, everyone gathered in the living room.

Wang Long and Li Shan were both in poor condition, with dark circles under their eyes, indicating that they hadn't slept well the night before. Of course, besides being afraid of the monster outside, they also had to be wary of each other; it would be strange if they were in good condition.

Besides, they didn't have much food, especially Wang Long, whose stomach was rumbling and whose lips were dry and white.

After a moment's thought, Chu Xiu gave the two of them some mushrooms to replenish their energy and water.

He didn't want these two to let him down at this crucial moment.

He ate some himself too.

After finishing his meal, Chu Xiu pushed open the door and was greeted by a thick cloud of dust, which made him frown. There were many footprints on the ground, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

"At least four unlucky guys got caught yesterday. No one would be stupid enough to explore at night, but they still got caught," Wang Long muttered uneasily.

Chu Xiu didn't speak, but just stared thoughtfully at the footprints on the ground.

If those monsters were randomly roaming, the footprints going up the stairs should be mixed with those going down.

But at this moment, a large number of footprints going downstairs covered the footprints going upstairs.

"It's like at a certain point in time, all these monsters suddenly ran downstairs. Is it because of the sun? Do a lot of monsters hide after the sun comes out? Do they hate sunlight? Is that why there are fewer monsters during the day?"

Chu Xiu secretly speculated in his heart.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and led everyone to proceed according to the plan.

Following Yunlu's nose, they successfully made their way from the eighth floor to the eleventh floor and found the suitable ambush location.

Chu Xiu left Wang Long and Li Shan behind to make arrangements, while he continued exploring with Yunlu.

He craved the corpses of the trial participants who had died the previous night.

It has to be said that Yunlu's nose is really useful. As expected of a B-level talent, it quickly helped Chu Xiu collect all four corpses.

His death was gruesome, and his soul was almost completely dissipated, but it still brought him considerable enhancement progress, allowing the bone armor to be successfully upgraded to +3.

The reinforced bone armor weighed a total of 17kg. Each bone fragment resembled a piece of pure white jade, and its hardness was no less than that of ordinary iron armor.

This gave him a lot more confidence.

Chu Xiu's professional experience also increased by nine points.

During this time, he also spotted other trainees in the corridor, but that person did not want to meet Chu Xiu. The two saw each other from a distance and then went their separate ways.

By the time we got back to the eleventh floor, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Why are you guys so slow?" Wang Long complained.

However, upon seeing Chu Xiu's transformed armor, his eyes lit up again, and he chuckled, "Brother Chu, my talent and profession are more suited to combat. Why don't you give me your equipment? I'll return it to you after we're done fighting."

Li Shan hurriedly said, "Yes, Chu Xiu, if I'm the bait, those monsters will definitely attack me first. Give me that armor!"

Chu Xiu glanced at the two of them speechlessly, too lazy to even acknowledge them.

Wang Long snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed, and patted the metal baseball bat in his hand. Li Shan looked embarrassed, but didn't dare to say anything more.

At the same time, there was some suspicion in his eyes, as if he was wondering why Chu Xiu's personality had changed so much.

In his original impression, Chu Xiu should be a kind-hearted person. Even if he didn't lend the money, he would never be so lazy as to not even bother to say a few polite words.

Chu Xiu was naturally unaware of these thoughts swirling in his mind. He went into the room and began to examine the terrain.

Wang Long and Li Shan set up their ambush in the living room, a square structure. Li Shan placed a two-meter-long wooden sofa in the corner, creating a small corner that could only accommodate one person.

The heavy sofa served as a wooden shelter, and after he went inside, he took several large wooden planks to block the top, thus creating a decent refuge.

It has to be said that Li Shan is quite clever. Chu Xiu also remembered that his academic performance seemed to be quite good, ranking in the top ten in his class.

The corner that Li Shan chose was directly opposite the gate, so the monster would be visible as soon as the gate opened and would rush straight in. Wang Long and Chu Xiu then ambushed the monster in the blind spots of two nearby corners.

Yunlu hid in a nearby room and closed the door once the monster's attention was completely drawn to Li Shan.

He mentally reviewed the entire plan, making sure nothing was overlooked, and then nodded to Li Shan. "Let's begin."

He gripped the bone spear tightly and huddled in the corner.

Li Shan took out an iron pot and gently tapped it on the ground; the metallic clanging sound immediately carried far.

"clang--"

The noise quickly subsided, and the apartment building remained as quiet as ever.

Li Shan increased the pressure and knocked again.

"clang--"

Chu Xiu felt his palms getting sweaty and his heart starting to race. Although he had been trying to stay calm, he couldn't help but feel nervous now that he was about to go on stage.

The Abyss is not a game; mistakes will only lead to death!

"clang--"

Li Shan knocked again, and this time, after waiting for more than ten seconds, a soft "tap, tap" sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Chu Xiu immediately tensed up.

From this angle, he couldn't see what was happening at the doorway, and the helmet on his head even limited his vision to some extent. He could only hear heavy footsteps approaching from afar.

As he drew closer, he began to hear hoarse gasps, like the dying struggle of someone whose throat had been cut, but much louder and more intense, along with a stench of blood and body odor that filled his nostrils.

coming.

Chu Xiu could almost feel that the monster still had bits of flesh torn from its prey in its mouth.

Even without seeing its figure, Chu Xiu knew that a huge, ferocious beast had entered!

Suddenly, Chu Xiu caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing by out of the corner of his eye!
The figure was too fast; he only felt a blur before his eyes, and then a broad back covered in black hair appeared in his vision!

This is a two-meter-tall humanoid creature with exceptionally large latissimus dorsi muscles, indicating that it is very skilled at striking. Its chest and back are covered with coarse, stiff black hair, which effectively provides protection. Its limbs, however, are not covered with hair and are very long. Upon closer inspection, one can see that they are highly taut muscles with almost no fat, and its skin is a frightening bluish-black color.

Amidst Li Shan's terrified screams, the creature's back muscles bulged, and it swung its right hand down heavily!
"Oh!"

With a loud crash, wood chips flew everywhere, and a large chunk of the sturdy wooden sofa was smashed off by the terrifying force! The top wooden plank also shattered into three or four pieces!

From below came Li Shan's shrill scream, filled with fear: "Chu Xiu! Wang Long! You fucking bastards, get your hands on him!"

Chu Xiu's heart pounded, and the monster's shriek made him instinctively want to retreat! This was the fear from the depths of his genes when facing a ferocious beast whose strength and size far exceeded his own!
But reason prevailed over instinctive fear, and he gritted his teeth, raised the bone spear in his hand, and thrust it forward!
As if sensing the wind, the monster suddenly turned its head, revealing a highly decomposed face like that of a ghoul!
Chu Xiu's heart trembled, but he immediately suppressed his fear and forcefully pushed the bone spear forward!
"Stab!"

Just then, the monster turned its body, and the sharp spear tip pierced through its side. As soon as it made contact, Chu Xiu felt a huge resistance coming from the front, as if he had hit not flesh and blood, but layers of tightly interwoven cotton cloth.

After the spear tip had penetrated seven or eight centimeters, Chu Xiu felt a huge resistance coming from the front, and the bone spear could no longer go any further. He looked down and saw a large, dark blue hand tightly gripping the tip of the bone spear!

Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, followed by utter horror! This monster had actually withstood all of his strength with just one hand!

Before he could recover from his fear, he felt a tremendous force coming from the bone spear. The next moment, he was lifted into the air. It was the monster holding the bone spear, using it as a fulcrum, that lifted Chu Xiu up!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, Chu Xiu was lifted high and slammed directly onto the ceiling! Countless pieces of plaster and rubble fell down with a "rustling" sound. It felt as if someone had hit his head with a heavy hammer, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted under the enormous impact!
"Oh!"

With another loud crash, he fell from a height of three meters. The seventeen-kilogram bone armor did not provide much protection; instead, it aggravated the force of his fall, causing Chu Xiu to experience excruciating pain all over his body.

A buzzing sound filled my ears, and I could vaguely hear the terrified screams of the cloud deer.

He struggled to prop himself up with his hands, only to see a pair of scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes staring at him.

Something's not right. Chu Xiu's mind was still foggy from the impact, but he still sensed something was wrong. Things shouldn't be like this. This monster was indeed very powerful, but it should still be a sitting duck for them.

At that moment, Li Shan's heart-wrenching roar reminded him: "Wang Long, you fucking get up here now!"

Chu Xiu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Wang Long, who was supposed to attack with him, was standing still, his legs trembling and his hands gripping the baseball bat shaking.

He was completely terrified.
