I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 396 The Road Ahead Has Ended (16)

After counting the number of people, Chen Yu found that he, Xu Feng, Meng Lingyi, Shen Lang, and the old butler who had been by Xu Feng's side were present.

The butler stood politely behind Xu Feng from the moment he entered. His cultivation level was hidden, and although he was clearly a Foundation Establishment expert, he had no airs of one. He simply smiled and stood guard behind Xu Feng.

The other party is Xu Feng's closest confidant. He is with Xu Feng most of the time, but his presence is extremely low. Many times, you can't even feel his presence.

Noticing Chen Yu watching him, the old butler waved amicably and then continued to stand behind Xu Feng.

Chen Yu nodded and then began to observe his surroundings.

As a mirror image of "Journey to the Abyss", this place gave Chen Yu the feeling that someone had used building blocks to recreate every detail of "Journey to the Abyss" one-to-one, and then smashed these building blocks and used the smashed building blocks to build such a strange place.

The hospital and the Moonlit Factory are mixed together, and the abandoned Tianyuan has been forcibly stitched together here. Various monsters are mixed together, forming this strange world.

The sky was always blood red, and a huge phantom of the Water Deity floated in mid-air, surrounded by a large amount of demonic energy, creating endless red light on the back of the figure.

Contrary to expectations, the Water Deity in the sky appeared kind and full of maternal love. She sat cross-legged, her long silver-white hair shimmering with a faint glow. Her maternal body lines were gentle and warm, giving one the urge to throw oneself into her arms and indulge in her affections.

Upon seeing the other party, Chen Yu felt the moisture in his body wanting to rush out, but fortunately, his Dao Heart immediately spun, blocking this pollution from the outside.

Looking away, Chen Yu asked Shen Lang, "Didn't you say your Star Lord is a loli girl?"

"Water has no constant shape, so it can be large or small, which is normal."

"Hiss... I suddenly feel like Star Lord... never mind, I'll get beaten up if I say that. Xu Feng, what's wrong?"

Xu Feng pulled out a black blindfold and covered his eyes tightly, then said apologetically, "Sorry, I have megalophobia, I generally don't look at things that are too big."

Chen Yu glanced back and then said definitively, "It is indeed quite big. But don't you usually dislike Xu Zilong?"

Why do you say that?

"Isn't that a complete idiot? Hey, there's even a voice censorship feature, but that doesn't stop me from swearing."

"Hahaha." Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Meng Lingyi couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly suppressed her smile and looked at Chen Yu, asking, "Chen Yu, why don't you seem scared at all? We don't even know where we are!"

"I guess I wasn't born with that ability."

Meng Lingyi looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression, then continued to calculate with her fingers, and said, "I've calculated that we've been dragged into their dream space. The characteristic here is that we can't die, because we're essentially still dreaming. At the same time, our cultivation level has also been brought in; we can barely protect ourselves."

"How did we get dragged here?" Xu Feng asked, looking at the empty place.

"It's likely that the mastermind behind this knew they were going to lose, so they modified the characteristics and dragged us into this mess. Modifying the characteristics is also a way for them to weaken themselves. The good news is that we have a chance to solve all of Water Deity's problems at once. The bad news is that they knew this too, and that's why they trapped us."

"Can the Dream Star Lord save us?" Shen Lang asked immediately.

“I have already made contact with them, but the Black Hand is also very clever. The offensive and defensive battle is ongoing, and we may have to wait a while.”

"So what should we do now?" Meng Ling sat down on the ground and pointed around, saying, "We can try to attack the monsters around us, but although we won't really die, this place is just like the lower realm. If we die, our Dao heart might be clouded, so I suggest we don't move around recklessly. By the way, according to my calculations just now, the strength of the monsters here has increased significantly, so we should be careful."

Seeing the monsters roaming nearby, Chen Yu tried throwing a straight punch, which slammed hard into one of the monsters.

Although this punch did not use any system-generated combat techniques, it still produced a sonic boom and sent the monster flying.

After being attacked, the monster simply landed a short distance away, then got up as if nothing had happened and roared as it charged towards them.

By constantly adjusting his body temperature, Chen Yu discovered that only when his body temperature reached 61 degrees Celsius and his punching power increased tenfold could the monster in front of him be instantly killed with a single punch.

However, this is only the outermost layer, and also the weakest of the monsters.

In the center, even more and stronger monsters gathered.

At the very center, a colossal skeleton stands atop a throne woven from flesh and blood, with countless "demon" characters emanating from its body, continuously corrupting the Water Deity Star Lord in the sky with demonic energy.

After staring at the skeleton for a while, Chen Yu pointed at it and said, "That guy should be the real Demon-tainted body, right? If we kill that guy, can we go back?"

"That should be the case," Meng Ling nodded. "However, it's actually quite difficult. Who here specializes in combat?"

Chen Yu raised his hand, and then saw that besides himself, only Xu Feng had raised his hand.

Meng Lingyi sighed, "As expected, I'm only a primordial spirit here, with almost no combat power. Shen Lang is the Water Virtue Star Lord, so he wouldn't be good at fighting. The steward probably isn't a body cultivator either, right?"

The old butler smiled politely and then said, "That's right, I don't have that skill. But if you all would like some medicinal tea, I can help you with that."

With only two body cultivators, breaking through this place, reaching the center, and then killing the great demon king inside seems like an impossible task.

Just as everyone was pondering what other ways to break the deadlock there was, the space around them suddenly shook, and a player with "Light Feather" above their head appeared there.

The other person was wearing a strange magical girl outfit; the pink skirt created a cute girlish style, but it was also shockingly erotic.

Just as we were getting to this point, the other person exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on here? This is an event dungeon! I still haven't unlocked the outfits! Wait, everyone, there seems to be someone over there, let's go ask what's going on. Wait, isn't the event dungeon supposed to only allow one person to enter at a time?"

Just as Miao Qingyu was about to invite the other party to her live stream to chat, she heard Chen Yu say, "It's okay, we can communicate via voice here."

"They actually updated this feature here? And your outfits don't look right, are you guys players?"

"Yes, I am..."

Covering his throat, Chen Yu found himself unable to reveal his identity or continue explaining the situation.

The taboo has been updated; no information can be leaked. They are trapped here.

　Two updates at noon, continuing in the afternoon.
