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

Is Chapter 120 really going to be a straight-through?

Once you enter the area within three kilometers of the central tower, there are no more ordinary ghouls.

During last night's operational meeting, Chu Xiu overheard a lot of useful information.

In the past few days, the government has continuously issued a number of reconnaissance missions to the central area. It can now be basically confirmed that the area near the central tower has been occupied by three fierce-level elites.

These are the strange bird-like ghouls that nest at the top of the tower, the enormous royal ghouls guarding the tower entrance, and the mutated ghouls that live in the sewers like a tumor.

These three elite beasts were not alone, but led an entire clan, which effectively protected the tower from the air, ground, and underground. They were extremely difficult to deal with and had become the focus of research for government analysts and their staff.

The initial plan is to lure monsters, use various traps and heavy weapons to reduce the number of monsters, and then try to defeat the ferocious elites.

However, this stage is extremely difficult, especially for the awakened ones responsible for luring the monsters, who are prone to injury or death. Therefore, it was ultimately decided to spend two to three days making full preparations before gradually solving this problem in stages.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, thought of his conversation with his tongue last night.

Yesterday, while resting and recovering his energy, Chu Xiu, as usual, fused another [Perfect] piece of equipment to feed his tongue.

The reply this time was: "Only by collecting all three keys can the door be opened."

This was yet another nonsensical and incoherent statement, which made Chu Xiu start to consider whether he should simply abandon the mission to avoid greater losses.

But then he suddenly realized that the three keys seemed to correspond to the three elite members of the Fierce Rank. Could there be some connection between them?

"We'll have to kill them eventually anyway, so let's try and see."

Chu Xiu checked his mana and found that he still had nearly half left, which should be enough.

With over two thousand causal points remaining, Chu Xiu simply upgraded the Mysterious Steps by one level, bringing it to its perfect state.

Although this secret technique is no longer as helpful to Chu Xiu due to his current terrifying physique, it can still provide him with some assistance under the combined effects of various spells.

Having maximized his combat power, Chu Xiu didn't think twice and led his demon army toward the central tower in a mighty march.

Chu Xiu's actions naturally attracted the attention of the group of awakened individuals who were following behind him to pick up bargains.

"Is the Night King leading its horde of corpses toward the central tower?"

"Is he about to challenge the Corpse King?!"

"Whether he will challenge the Corpse King is hard to say, but judging from his marching route, it seems he is heading straight for the Royal Corpse Guarding the entrance!"

The so-called Royal Corpse Demons are just nicknames given by the Awakened Ones, because these Corpse Demons all wear heavy bone armor, hold a shield in their left hand and an axe in their right, and are extremely burly. Any one of them is over five meters tall, and the elite Ferocious-level one is nearly ten meters tall! They look very much like royal guards protecting the Corpse King.

These royal ghouls are extremely powerful; even the Dark Lord might not be able to defeat them!

Without much thought, these awakened beings quickly reported the whereabouts of the Dark Night King to the command center. This news naturally caused a sensation, and a group of high-level awakened beings stopped their efforts to clear out the corpse demons and came to watch the battle from the vicinity.

"The Dark Night King is indeed very strong, but can it defeat an entire elite race?" Ye Junlin asked, frowning as he gazed at the imposing demon army in the distance.

“According to the command’s analysis, it should be very difficult,” the chief analyst said, flipping through the thick stack of documents in his hand. “In the past two days, we have issued a number of reconnaissance missions regarding the Ferocious Elite races, and according to the feedback, each race is extremely large!”

"The Royal Corpse Demon Horde alone has four Ferocious-rank members besides the leader, over thirty Warrior-rank members, and more than a hundred ordinary members!"

"What's even more terrifying is that these ghouls have all mutated under the influence of their leader, gaining additional trait bonuses and making them significantly stronger than others of the same level!"

"On the other hand, while the Dark Night King has a large number of troops, its elite status is somewhat lacking. What's more regrettable is that its high-level combat strength is far inferior. Even with an optimistic estimate, its combat strength above the Warrior rank will not exceed twenty, and it only has one Ferocious rank member, the Dark Night King! Moreover, its true form is likely no match for Ferocious rank elites!"

During this period, every move made by the Dark Night King was observed by designated personnel.

Although the Dark Night King's demonic arms were terrifying, almost overwhelming low-level ferocious beasts, judging from their appearance, they were only strong in strength and not particularly fast. They would not be so easy to deal with high-level ghouls.

Based on the comprehensive data analysis, analysts do not believe that the Night King can defeat the Fierce Elite.

However, the chief analyst's words did not gain everyone's trust.

Ye Junlin curled his lip and said suspiciously, "You said the day before yesterday that we had a 70% chance of killing the Dark Night King. If we had listened to you, we would have been dead long ago."

The analyst was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, Zhang Qingshan also said, "Are you sure the Dark Night King's ghost army only has less than twenty warrior-level beings? I just glanced at it and it seems that there are more than twenty warrior-level corpse ghosts."

These words only intensified the skepticism of the high-level awakened individuals. The analyst said helplessly, "This data is indeed from the day before yesterday, and it's a rough estimate, so it's normal for there to be some discrepancies."

"After all, the monsters under the command of the Dark Night King are constantly moving inside the building, and we dare not get too close, so we have no way to collect specific data."

"However, there's no reason why its army should grow larger as the fighting continues!"

The analyst's words made some sense, but as everyone looked from the rooftop, they felt something was amiss. Even without counting, they could sense that the size of this demon army had clearly increased significantly compared to the previous few days!
Could it be that the Night King's army can really grow larger with each battle?
This is not realistic.

They subconsciously rejected this fantastical idea.

"In short, no matter what, it is not easy to defeat the elite of the fierce level. Even if the Dark Night King wins, he will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Perhaps this will be a good opportunity for us," the analyst concluded from the side.

The awakened individuals exchanged glances and quickly made their judgment.

"Mobilize the troops to establish firing positions in the distance! If the Dark Night King and the Ferocious Elite really fight to the death, we cannot let this opportunity slip by!"

Soon, orders were issued, and before long, almost all the Awakened Ones who were assigned to combat missions gathered nearby.

As everyone watched with bated breath, the Dark King arrived before the tower.

This was a very spacious plaza, at least the size of a dozen football fields. At this moment, a large number of burly royal ghouls lay in the plaza, leisurely basking in the sun. Perhaps it had been too long since they had encountered any creature daring enough to approach the central tower; their vigilance was not high.

But just then, a heavy and resounding horn sounded in the arena!

As the sound of the horn spread throughout the square, a large number of ghouls rushed out from the buildings in all directions!

With no buildings obstructing the view of the plaza, the complete demon army was revealed before everyone's eyes! A large number of screaming demons charged forward, mixed with resurrected corpses, their numbers definitely exceeding five hundred! At a glance, they resembled a surging tide!
The royal ghouls, caught off guard on the outermost edge, were overwhelmed by the vast army of ghouls and torn to pieces by sharp claws amidst screams of agony!

This terrifying scene caused the Awakened ones watching from afar to widen their eyes in disbelief. Ye Junlin couldn't help but curse, "You fucking tell me there are no more than twenty Warrior-level beings? There must be at least fifty!"

"No! There's definitely more!" Anya, standing beside Ye Junlin, turned pale. "I can sense that there are still a large number of ghouls that don't have physical forms! Look closely!"

Everyone stared intently and indeed found that many of the corpses were transparent. At such a distance, they could only be detected when the other party used magic to attack!
"If we include all of them with the warriors under the Dark Night King, the number would probably exceed one hundred!"

This astonishing number caused all the awakened ones to show incredulous expressions, and they saw horror in each other's eyes!

They had never seen such a huge horde of corpses!

The analysts gaped in disbelief.

More than one hundred warrior-class soldiers!

Where did all these suddenly come from?
"Let's abandon the operation," Zhang Qingshan said decisively.

The analyst said, still somewhat incredulously, "Not necessarily. Although the Dark Night King has many warriors under his command, he lacks top-tier combat power."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the figure in the center of the square, shrouded in demonic energy, gently pat something at his waist.

The next moment, seven enormous creatures appeared in the arena, roaring as they charged towards the opposite side! Like heavily armored knights charging into an army of infantry! The royal ghouls in their path were knocked over one after another, completely unable to stop them!
These seven newly appeared creatures are all of the Ferocious rank! And their defensive capabilities are unbelievably strong!
The attacks of the royal ghouls only left a wound before a strange black aura suddenly surged out, healing the injury in just a few breaths. Conversely, the attacks of these enormous ghouls easily sent the royal ghouls, whose strength lay in their [physical] physique, flying!

In the initial panic, the Royal Draco had rebuilt its defenses, but under the onslaught of these seven Draco, they collapsed in the blink of an eye! They were then swallowed up by the surging new Draco!
The onlookers were stunned by this scene.

The chief analyst was even more puzzled.

What's going on? Where did these monsters come from?

How come seven ferocious-level monsters popped out with just a light tap? What kind of subspace magic is this?

Moreover, there are one hundred warrior-level creatures and seven ferocious-level creatures!
Who the hell is the Corpse King?!

Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved once again, thankful that they hadn't been foolish enough to cause trouble yesterday.
Just as the Royal Corpse Demons were being routed, a roar came from the tower, and the elite of the Fierce Rank finally made its appearance.

This caused the previously hesitant awakened individuals to refocus their attention.

As the leader of his clan, this ferocious elite was extremely powerful, far surpassing his subordinates. A skilled reconnaissance professional once glanced at it from afar and concluded that its physical attributes definitely exceeded 700! That's two to three times that of an ordinary ferocious corpse demon!
As soon as it appeared, it easily flipped over a charging resurrected corpse with a shield bash, the terrifying force breaking its bones!

The resurrected silver knight raised his greatsword and charged forward, aiming for the head of the royal elite ghoul. However, the latter simply parried the greatsword with a light touch, and then struck the silver knight squarely in the chest with an axe, knocking him to the ground. His chest armor shattered, his ribs broke, and he was almost cleaved in two by the axe!
The other royal ghouls quickly surrounded them and rearranged their formation.

The appearance of this ferocious elite immediately stopped the one-sided defeat and made the battle suspenseful again.

The chief analyst said, "The strength of the Dark Night King's demonic arm should be similar to, or even slightly weaker than, that of these elite royal ghouls. Although it has a large number of subordinates, trying to defeat it with sheer numbers would likely result in heavy losses."

However, before he could finish speaking, under everyone's gaze, the Dark Night King suddenly leaped high into the air, and a demonic aura a thousand times more intense than usual surged from his body!

Its aura surged rapidly! The demonic arm behind it grew to a size larger at a visible speed, as if injected with a berserk drug, and charged head-on towards the royal elite ghoul, unleashing a punch!
Before everyone's incredulous eyes, the royal elite ghoul, who had been as invincible as a war god, was blasted away along with his shield and crashed heavily onto the tower!
Large sections of the wall behind them collapsed, countless rubble rolled down, and even cracks appeared on the shield!

"."

The awakened ones stared in disbelief at this astonishing scene, each one frozen in place.

The royal elite ghoul, who was as immovable as a mountain in everyone's eyes and whose physique exceeded 700, was sent flying by a single punch.

Everyone looked at the chief analyst with blank expressions.

Is this what you call roughly equal strength?
The chief analyst was completely numb.

No, bro, so you've been hiding your true strength all along?
This terrifying power far surpassed any of the Dark Night King's previous attacks! The sudden surge of demonic energy was clearly a skill that greatly enhanced his strength.

The chief analyst was in a difficult position; who would have thought that a ghoul would be like a cunning old fox, hiding all his cards?

All he wanted to say was, "You're already this strong, why are you hiding anything?"
What terrified everyone even more was that they had no idea how many more trump cards the Night King had up his sleeve.
Ye Junlin couldn't help but recall the scene when he led two subordinates to swagger off to challenge the Dark Night King, and a wave of fear washed over him.

He wanted to slap his past self. Who the hell gave you the courage?!

Wei Shan's face turned pale. At least Ye Junlin was still floating in the sky, but Wei Shan just charged straight at him with his sword!
With such terrifying power, if the Dark Night King truly intended to kill, let alone being hit, even a slight graze would result in death or serious injury!
He had been resentful that his perfect greatsword had been stolen, but now he suddenly felt at peace with it.

I thought it was a huge loss, but it turned out to be a huge profit.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, the Dark Night King did not stop for a moment, taking another step to catch up. Behind him, the demon's arm seemed to be churning with magma, like a hydraulic press stretched to its limit, as he unleashed punch after punch!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With each deafening explosion, a large section of bone armor shattered on the Royal Elite Corpse Demon's body, causing bright red blood to spill out. Bones broke and splintered into its internal organs, causing even greater damage!
Under the relentless onslaught of the Night King, the royal elite ghouls were utterly powerless to resist. They managed to hold on for a full twenty-seven seconds thanks to their formidable vitality before finally succumbing to the torment.

This brutal scene sent chills down the spines of all the awakened ones.

At that moment, the same thought arose in their minds.

"If this trend continues..."

"Are we going to skip directly to the end?"
