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

Chapter 12 Accidents happen frequently
"Fuck you!"

Seeing Wang Long standing there dumbfounded, Chu Xiu felt an urge to rush over and strangle the coward.

He's incredibly arrogant when he bullies the weak, but he turns soft when it really matters?

But there was no time for him to complain. At this moment, Chu Xiu's mouth was full of sweetness. He had just propped himself up with his hands and didn't even have time to shout a word when the ghoul-like monster's sharp claws came down!

"Crack!"

Sharp nails sliced ​​across Chu Xiu's shoulder blade, instantly cracking the hard white bone. Chu Xiu felt a sharp, bone-breaking pain in his left shoulder, almost causing him to kneel down again!

Fortunately, just to be on the safe side, he absorbed the corpse first and upgraded the bone armor by one level. If it had been upgraded to +2, he might have been able to tear the entire shoulder armor apart with this one grab!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Enduring the pain in his left shoulder, Chu Xiu shouted and thrust his right hand forward with all his might. The bone spear was still stuck in the monster's body. With this effort, he finally forced it back a few steps.

Chu Xiu immediately gripped the bone spear with both hands, pushed off the ground with his hind legs, and used all his strength to push the bone spear forward!

Although the monster's mere hand held it in place, preventing the bone spear from piercing and causing further damage, Chu Xiu's power transformed the bone spear into a stick, pushing the monster backward.

The monster staggered back a few steps, then quickly stretched out a hind leg to brace itself, easily stabilizing its body. Chu Xiu felt as if a huge boulder weighing a thousand pounds was pressing down on him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it an inch.

"Wang Long, if you don't move, we're all going to die here!" Chu Xiu roared.

His shout finally brought Wang Long back to his senses.

At this moment, the monster's attention was all on Chu Xiu. The corner where he was was still a blind spot, making it an excellent position for a sneak attack!
He mustered his courage and stepped forward, trembling. But he had only taken one step, and hadn't even raised the metal baseball bat in his hand, when the monster seemed to sense something, suddenly turned around, and stared at him with its scarlet eyes!
"what!"

Wang Long's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he subconsciously took a step back, but the monster had no intention of letting him go!
But then it gripped the bone spear with its right hand, and with both hands exerting force, even though Chu Xiu was trying his best and his face was red, the bone spear was still slowly being pulled out of the wound!

Black, oil-like blood flowed from the monster's wounds, but it seemed completely oblivious, its eyes fixed on Wang Long.

Under the monster's gaze, Wang Long was so frightened that he dared not move! He could only watch helplessly as the monster completely pulled out the bone spear, missing the best opportunity to attack when the monster and Chu Xiu were locked in a stalemate!
After completely pulling out the bone spear, the monster abandoned Chu Xiu and roared as it reached out with its claws to grab Wang Long!

"what!!!"

At the critical moment, Wang Long finally reacted. He pushed off with both legs and shot out like an arrow, leaping seven or eight meters across the entire living room and crashing headfirst into the load-bearing wall in front of the bedroom.

"boom!"

Wang Long screamed and fell to the ground in agony.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu almost vomited blood. This bastard actually used the precious opportunity to unleash three times the power to escape!

"waste!"

Chu Xiu cursed under his breath.

However, Wang Long wasn't entirely useless; he at least bought Chu Xiu some breathing room.

And
Chu Xiu looked at the wound on the monster's abdomen, where black blood was still flowing out continuously, showing no signs of stopping, and the wound was even tearing further in all directions.

Trait: Bleeding.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu adjusted his posture and calmly stared at the monster not far away.

Wang Long was no longer a reliable option, but that didn't matter, since he hadn't entrusted his safety to anyone else anyway.

In fact, he had already made preparations to be able to take on the monster alone before agreeing to the plan; Wang Long was just another insurance policy.

Although the battle had caught him somewhat off guard, the monster's tough body and monstrous strength were still within his expectations.

"do not come!"

Chu Xiu stopped Yunlu, who had hesitated for a long time but was still preparing to come and help.

"This is a one-on-one match."

He gripped the bone spear tightly in his right hand, the tip of which was aimed at the black-haired monster, while his left hand made a strange hand seal, and the energy in his body condensed in his palm, forming a gradually solidifying vortex.

The monster opposite seemed to realize that Chu Xiu was not easy to deal with, so it did not make any rash moves. It hissed and moved slowly, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Both were staring intently at each other when suddenly, Chu Xiu's eyelids blinked rapidly. This mere 0.1 seconds was keenly captured by the black-haired monster, which suddenly pushed off the ground and pounced towards Chu Xiu!

However, this opening was deliberately created by him. His mental strength exceeding 3.0 allowed him to react much faster than ordinary people, quickly adjusting the direction of his bone spear to aim at the monster! The sharp spear tip pressed against the monster's abdomen, forcing the latter to stop its attack, while his hidden left hand swiftly extended!
A transparent blade of air, tinged with gray, formed at an incredible speed and shot out in an instant!

[Shadow Wind Blade!]

"laugh!"

The bone spear successfully blocked the monster, and its side-swipe claw attack only grazed Chu Xiu's breastplate, leaving five deep scratches. At the same time, a wind blade nearly half a meter long struck the monster's chest!

"Stab!"

The monster's thick, coarse black fur on its chest was completely severed, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone, from which a large amount of jet-black blood gushed out!

At the same time, the enormous impact caused him to stagger backward. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Xiu stepped forward, twisted his waist, and held the spear with both hands, thrusting it with all his might towards his throat!
"puff!"

The sharp bone spear pierced through the monster's vulnerable throat bone, piercing its neck straight through! A large amount of blood spurted out!

It stared with its scarlet eyes, making a "hoarse" sound, and waved its long arms, trying to attack Chu Xiu, but it always kept a distance of more than ten centimeters from him.

After a full half minute, the gleam in the monster's eyes gradually faded, and its arms fell limply to its sides.

[Slaughtering living beings, Professional Experience +115]

[Current Experience: 128/200]

As the notification sounded in his mind, the monster in front of him crashed heavily to the ground.

The moment the monster fell to the ground, Chu Xiu also let out a heavy sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

He took a step back, leaning against the wall, feeling numbness in his arm and a slight dizziness in his head.

These are some of the aftereffects of intense mental concentration.

Actually, this battle was both thrilling and not thrilling.

The thrilling part is that Wang Long faltered at the last minute, and Chu Xiu's performance was not as good as he had imagined; it was a series of unexpected events.

What I mean by "not dangerous" is that most of his armor was still intact. Although he looked disheveled, he still had room for error. Even if the ghoul's life force doubled, he was confident he could still win.

But as his first battle in the abyss, it was enough to leave a deep impression on Chu Xiu, and he learned a lot of experience and lessons.

The most important of these is naturally—

Never believe that a bully who preys on the weak can suddenly become a qualified warrior, no matter how fierce they usually appear.

"Chu Xiu! Are you alright?!"

Yunlu's voice interrupted his thoughts. Chu Xiu looked up and saw a small face full of worry.

"I'm fine." Chu Xiu forced a smile.

Yunlu said in a tearful voice, "I... I almost thought... I thought you... we were all going to die."

As she spoke, her little nose twitched, and her eyes began to redden, as if she were about to shed tears at any moment.

Chu Xiu was slightly taken aback. After a moment of silence, he simply said two words: "Don't worry."

However, those two short words seemed to truly put her mind at ease. Yunlu's emotions immediately calmed down, and she smiled through her tears, nodding emphatically: "Mm!"

Suddenly, she noticed something and pointed to the center of the living room: "Chu Xiu, look!"

Chu Xiu turned around and saw two orbs of light rising from the monster's corpse.

He reached out and grabbed both of them.
