Chapter 153 Seeing the Abyss!

The Shadow Beast is a third-tier magical beast.

Generally speaking, the magic crystals of monsters of the same rank are less valuable than those of demons.

However, the Shadow Beast is special because its magic crystals can be used to make spatial equipment, which is quite rare, so its price is even higher than that of demons of the same level!

Feeling the moonlit sky on his fingers, Shen Mo seemed to have discovered nothing as he walked to the big tree.

However, in his perception, the Shadow Beast hiding in the shadows did not react at all.

It seems they really came for the corpses of those forest elephants...

As Shen Mo thought to himself, he channeled magic into the moonlit sky.

The next moment, the long sword, Scarlet Shadow, appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the Shadow Beast, hidden in the shadows, also sensed that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to run away, a beam of holy light suddenly appeared behind Shen Mo and shone down on the tree.

Photogelatinization!

The shadow magic that had been binding the Shadow Beast's entire body quickly dissipated under the holy light.

The Shadow Beast, which had not yet completely disappeared into the shadows, lost its chance to escape the moment its form was revealed.

All it could do was wave its pincers and greet the crimson shadow that burst forth with dazzling light amidst the whooshing sound of air being cut through!

Snap! Pfft!

Scarlet Shadow easily severed the Shadow Beast's claws and plunged them into its head.

Like a hot knife slicing through butter, it cut open the head and chest of the Shadow Beast!

The Tier 3 monster "Shadow Beast" has been added to your roster, rewarding you with 2 points of Constitution and 3 points of Spirit!

[You have hunted one Shadow Beast, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]

As the hunting notification popped up, Shen Mo drew his sword, and the Shadow Beast's corpse fell under the tree, dying swiftly!

This kind of magical beast is actually not very strong; it is only good at ambushes.

However, hunting is very difficult.

On the one hand, it is because the Shadow Beast has the ability to stealth in the shadows; on the other hand, it is because it can enter the shadows and instantly travel hundreds of meters away!

Ordinary people would find this kind of monster very difficult to spot.

Even if discovered, it is difficult to control the Shadow Beast before it escapes.

However, given Shen Mo's abilities, once he enters within ten meters of the Shadow Beast, there is no possibility for it to escape.

Mu Li used the Light Condensation Technique primarily as a precaution...

Retrieving a black bottle from the moonlit sky, Shen Mo began collecting the blood of the Shadow Beast.

Besides magic crystals, compound eyes, and brains, the blood of the Shadow Beast also has certain value.

It can be used not only in scroll making, but also in the making of special magic potions.

The entire Shadowbeast is worth around two million, which is more expensive than the magic crystals of a fourth-tier magical beast...

After dealing with the Shadow Beast, Shen Mo and Mu Li continued to venture deeper into the Demon Realm.

They took an unconventional approach.

Sometimes, as you walk along, the road suddenly disappears.

They then used the Light Wing Technique to fly directly there.

But in such places, it's also easy to encounter monsters.

After killing some more forest deer, ghost bats, and eagles, the two finally crossed the Demon Realm and arrived at the edge of the abyss.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered another berserk ape!

These ferocious magical beasts have an extremely strong desire to attack other species.

Upon seeing Shen Mo and Mu Li, he charged over with a roar, his eyes red.

And then... that was it.

Mu Li used her holy magic to subdue him, while Shen Mo casually shot an arrow.

Working together, they killed the berserk ape in a single exchange.

After being included in "The Demon Hunter's Handbook", it unlocked 3 points of physical enhancement and 1 point of mental enhancement for Shen Mo.

The two then ventured deeper and encountered another group of ferocious lizards.

There are 36 adult individuals alone.

Startled, they rushed over one after another, recklessly.

Shen Mo and Mu Li spent some time hunting them all down.

"Is that the abyss?"

Finally, after venturing nearly ten kilometers into the abyss and crossing a mountain, Shen Mo caught a glimpse of the MG-SE30-CP75 abyssal rift.

Staring at the abyss-like rift, Shen Mo was slightly lost in thought.

There were no rifts, caves, or fissures as expected.

It was a long, viscous, dark space, like a black hole, swallowing all light, color, and even space.

The black tide was slowly "flowing," tearing apart the earth and sky.

Black cracks, like shattered glass, spread across the sky and the earth.

It seemed to contain turbulent currents, forming whirlpools of varying sizes and directions.

The entire abyssal fissure extends diagonally southward into the depths.

Everything around turned into a black, glassy substance, which stretched for over a hundred meters.

"My lord, ascend once more!"

Mu Li gripped Sheng Hui tightly and stepped forward to stand with Shen Mo.

Her eyes were firm, but her voice trembled slightly.

When they truly face the abyssal rift, the clergy are most able to feel the malice and chaos flowing within it.

In the face of such darkness, even the blazing sunlight seemed as weak as a candle flame in the dark night, and could be extinguished at any moment.

But... everything must go on!

Both Shen Mo and Mu Li have reasons to fight against the Abyss.

In Shen Mo's view, the abyss not only contained danger, but also the power to make him stronger.

In Mu Li's heart, purifying the abyss is her mission; even a small spark can ignite the abyss.

The two exchanged a glance and walked side by side toward the abyss rift.

They did their research before coming.

Know how to safely enter the abyss fissure.

But as I walked on that black, glazed earth, step by step approaching the abyss, a sense of fear arose in my heart.

This is not because they lacked willpower.

Rather, it's because fear is part of the abyss.

Only by facing fear can we avoid being swallowed by the abyss.

Standing before the abyss, Shen Mo looked at Mu Li and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes!" Mu Li nodded emphatically.

"Let's go then!"

Shen Mo took out Scarlet Shadow and Wandering from the moon sky and walked with Mu Li towards a vortex not far away, which was a teleportation channel.

At the same time, he kept his eyes fixed on that abyss passage.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Soon, the Abyss responded to Shen Mo and Mu Li.

Strands of darkness, like tentacles, reached out to grab the two of them.

The two felt their senses gradually being invaded, leaving only their consciousness imprisoned in endless darkness, unaware of the passage of time.

But at that very moment, a ray of holy light ignited.

Then, Shen Mo sensed another ray of holy light.

That holy light belonged to Mu Li, and the halo it emitted intertwined and reflected with him.

At the same time, the unease, fear, and confusion in their hearts all vanished.

We're almost there.

Mu Li's voice echoed in Shen Mo's mind.

In this all-consuming darkness, the two were able to communicate through the radiance of holy light.

No wonder they say that priests are the beacons of light for demon hunters in the abyss!

A sudden realization dawned on Shen Mo.

Let's leave aside other times.

But those who are blessed by the Holy Light can avoid this situation.

This also made Shen Mo understand why the guide advised demon hunters to prepare some sacred objects at the Holy Church before entering the Abyss.

These sacred objects act like talismans, mitigating the abyss's influence on people to some extent...
