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

Chapter 31 Elite Corpse
The apartment building where Chu Xiu and the others lived was located on a main road near the city center.

Stepping out of the door, you'll find yourself on a wide road, a once bustling thoroughfare now reduced to rusty car wrecks, with hordes of corpses occasionally passing through.

“There is a large commercial area across the street. You can get there via an overpass or underpass. These two methods are much safer than crossing the street directly and are less likely to attract the attention of advanced hunters.”

“Shen Zhuo’s team previously went to the shopping mall across the pedestrian bridge.”

"As for the other three sides, each has a residential area, which is quite large and has more than ten residential buildings."

"However, what's strange is that the ghouls in these three neighborhoods all seem to be ordinary-shaped, except for the black-haired ghouls in the apartment buildings, but I don't know why."

Chu Xiu stood on the apartment building, gazing around and silently memorizing the surrounding terrain.

"Although there are enough ghouls roaming the streets, they are not suitable as hunting grounds."

"Not only could the noise attract a horde of zombies, but it could also be spotted by the flying zombie birds in the sky."

Chu Xiu looked up and saw a giant bird with a wingspan of over ten meters flying overhead.

He had seen this kind of flying bird monster on the first day he transmigrated here, and now, under the effect of the Netherworld Eye, a panel was appearing in front of Chu Xiu's eyes.

Type 014 Corpse Demon

[Rank] Warrior Rank?

[Attributes] Constitution 45.4, Spirit?, Energy Level?
[Skill] Unknown

[Trait] Unknown

[Talent] Unknown

Although most of its attributes are unknown, Chu Xiu already has a general idea of ​​what it is based on its warrior rank and its abnormal physique of 45.4.

Simply put: If you can't mess with them, kill them instantly if they show their face.

"Although my strength has greatly improved since I first arrived, it is still nothing in this world."

"The next hunt should still not cause too much of a commotion."

Chu Xiu reluctantly turned his gaze away from the experience pets that were everywhere on the street and turned to the residential buildings on the other side.

"The challenge of killing one hundred ghouls is almost complete. I should get these 150 karma points as soon as possible, which will greatly increase my strength."

"Let's take some time to settle down and reflect."

Having made up his mind, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated and acted quickly. His physique of 7.52 allowed him to reach the designated location in just a few minutes and search for traces of the corpse ghost along the corridor.

Unfortunately, just like yesterday, the density of ghouls in the buildings was pitifully low during the day. Perhaps it was because these residential buildings had already been ransacked by these ghouls countless times, and there was no longer enough food to arouse the ghouls' interest.

Chu Xiu spent the whole morning killing only eleven corpse demons, and they were ordinary corpse demons without black hair.

More precisely, these creatures are called Type 004 Corpses, which are Rank 2 mortal beings. The black-haired Corpse is called the Type 004 Corpse Mutant, which is Rank 3 mortal.

The experience they can provide to Chu Xiu now is pitifully little, perhaps only a single-digit amount.

However, it wasn't all bad news.

At least with these guys, Chu Xiu was able to repair the damaged bone armor and the injured Yin Ghost, and even slightly increase the enhancement progress.

Moreover, during the hunt, he also used his Ghostly Eyes to conduct a rough reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain, including which areas contained terrifying beings that should absolutely not be provoked.

For example, he once saw several tentacles suddenly extend from a residential building, pulling passing ghouls inside. Another example is a strange large tree in the neighborhood west of the apartment building; the Ghostly Eyes even detected its level as...? Rank?, without even a name! This indicates that the monster's evolutionary level is even above the Warrior rank!

Chu Xiu secretly memorized all of these things.

When you're weak, you avoid strong enemies; when you're strong, you mark experience points for your team.

"Let it be slower, at least it'll be safer."

Chu Xiu quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared to continue to reflect.

But just then, he suddenly heard a roar from outside the window that did not belong to a ghoul.

He went to the balcony and looked out, and was surprised to find a wild boar that had appeared out of nowhere rushing into the community. It was being grabbed by two ghouls and was howling in despair as it ran wildly in all directions.

This wild boar was not large, and seemed to be just a cub, but it was quite agile. Even two ghouls working together couldn't catch it for a while.

Just as the wild boar was rampaging through the residential area, a huge figure suddenly leaped out from a residential building. It was incredibly fast, leaping down from the fourth floor and pinning the wild boar down. At the same time, its other paw swiftly ripped open the wild boar cub, its internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

It lay on the ground, its two bean-sized eyes staring blankly at the ground, making fearful "whooshing" sounds.

But the fear didn't last long; a large mouth full of sharp teeth bit through its throat and began tearing at its flesh.

Chu Xiu then realized that it was a four-limbed creature resembling a hyena, but much larger, even larger than a typical Siberian tiger.

Its skin was as pale as a ghoul's, but its muscle mass far exceeded that of an ordinary ghoul, and its frame was extremely broad. Coupled with two thick, long teeth that were at least twenty centimeters long, and a pair of ferocious, arrogant red eyes, it inspired instinctive fear in those around it. As soon as this creature appeared, the other ghouls that had been eyeing it menacingly shrank back, pacing reluctantly at a distance, but daring not to approach, waiting only to share the scraps after the creature had finished eating.

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and activated the Netherworld Eye.

[Type 002 Ghoul (Elite)]

[Rank] Mortal Rank 4

[Attributes] Constitution 12.8, Spirit 2.5, Energy Level 3.4
[Skills] Powerful Claw Attack, Bite, Rapid Recovery

【Special Traits】Bone spurs, poisonous claws, poisonous fangs

[Talent] Group Hunting (Emits high-frequency sound waves, summoning all Type 002 ghouls within a certain range.)
"Another elite!"

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up.

As elite monsters, their drop rate and the experience gained from killing them far exceed those of ordinary monsters!

Not to mention, this monster itself is only a level 4 mortal.

Killing monsters that are too far below your level will result in a significant reduction in experience gained, which is why Chu Xiu now only gets single digits of experience from killing corpse demons.

"We finally found an elite monster, and it's even during the day. We can't let this go easily."

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes.

A constitution of 12.8 isn't particularly high; with a +6 energy-absorbing armor, he can handle it on his own.

Not to mention, Guang Chuxiu's Yin Ghost has a constitution as high as 12.4.

But Chu Xiu knew that, just like the elite ghouls he encountered last night, the real problem with these guys was their "special abilities".

"This one's talent is 'group hunting'."

"Does that mean you'll gather your allies to fight in a coordinated attack?"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked toward the vicinity of the elite ghoul.

He soon discovered that in the distance, there were many similar-looking "zombie dogs" gathered together.

However, it is much smaller, only the size of a gray wolf.

These should be ordinary Type 002 ghouls.

Chu Xiu scanned them with his Ghostly Eyes. Their physical attributes were only 2.0 to 3.0, but there were many of them, at least twenty or thirty. They were currently hiding in the woods or apartment buildings, waiting for their leader to finish feeding.

"Yes, it would be troublesome if we were attacked from both sides at the same time."

Chu Xiu stroked his chin, surveying the surrounding terrain.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on an area less than two hundred meters away from the elite ghoul.

It was a building with an arch-like structure, connecting two rows of neighboring residential buildings. Underneath the arch was a corridor that people could walk through, about ten meters long.

This place is perfect for placing the White Bone Blood Devouring Array.

Most importantly, the corridor is not wide, only allowing three or four people to walk side by side, which effectively limits the group hunting of the corpse dogs.

Moreover, the corridor leads to another row of residential buildings, so in case of an emergency, one can easily hide in the building and evacuate.

In short, this is a very good battlefield.

Chu Xiu silently calculated in his mind, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

It works!

Without any hesitation, he moved swiftly, like a ghost, silently traversing the residential area. Soon he arrived at the designated area and set up the White Bone Blood Devouring Array.

"Next, all that's left is to lure those ghouls over."

Chu Xiu had already come up with a solution.

He pointed, and the ghostly spirit within the white bone banner floated out, drifting to the vicinity of the elite corpse spirit in its soul form.

The elite corpse hound seemed to sense something, its nose twitched, and it suddenly raised its head, only to be met with a rapidly forming Yin Wind Blade!
"laugh!"

The Yin Wind Blade spun rapidly, cutting through the air and shooting out!

However, the elite corpse hound reacted extremely quickly, leaping away to dodge.

But the Yin Ghost's purpose was not to fight it. Instead, its blurry body quickly materialized in mid-air, grabbed the wild boar carcass on the ground, and turned to run away!
Seeing its hard-earned food stolen, the elite zombie hound was enraged. It and its minions roared and chased after it without hesitation!
