The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

time.

1:12 am.

position.

The front line of Chiya Fort is 50 meters away from the Chiyuan Rift.

After Ye Xiao left the camp.

He walked alone towards the Crimson Abyss Rift.

At the edge of the crack, space is distorted, and the air is like boiling water.

He stood before the crack, the dark red light shining on his face and casting a long shadow.

During the day, he saw many adventurers walk in from here.

Now, he is alone outside the gate of the Crimson Abyss Rift.

Ye Xiao stared intently ahead.

He is very clear.

Just take a few more steps forward, and you'll be transported directly to the [Crimson Abyss World]!

"I'll just go in and take a look, then I'll come right out."

Ye Xiao said to himself silently.

then.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the Crimson Abyss Gate ahead.

The feeling of passing through the crack is like being folded in half.

The body was stretched and then compressed.

The sound was taken away, then suddenly poured back in.

The light exploded before my eyes, then suddenly disappeared.

He closed his eyes, waited for everything to calm down, and then opened them.

at last.

The Crimson Abyss unfolded beneath his feet.

He heard a system notification.

[Ding! You have entered the Crimson Abyss World! Milestone achievements for the Path of the Strong have been unlocked!]

This means that Ye Xiao can unlock more achievements by completing various tasks here.

To obtain rewards or improve one's own combat power.

The sky was dark red; there was no sun, only the glow of lava.

The earth was black and cracked, like parched skin.

In the distance, a volcano is erupting, with red lava gushing from the mountaintop and flowing down the slope like the earth's veins.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur, and the temperature was extremely high; every breath felt like swallowing fire.

Ye Xiao's first reaction was to turn around.

He wanted to see if there was still a way back.

He saw a twisted door behind him.

The weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted.

"I'll walk a couple more steps in and take a look, then I'll go back," Ye Xiao thought to himself.

Ye Xiao took out the Crimson Abyss map that he had prepared in advance.

After unfolding the map, locate his current coordinates based on the surrounding terrain.

[Scorched earth on the outskirts]

Extending eastward, southward, and northward from the entrance of the rift, it forms the outermost layer of the Crimson Abyss World.

It is also the only area that humans have ever set foot in.

The ground is scorched lava with a temperature of about 60 degrees Celsius, making it uninhabitable for ordinary humans.

The sulfur concentration in the air is high, requiring detoxification pills to maintain its level.

The monsters are mainly larvae of the Balrog, with occasional Balrog warriors appearing.

Ye Xiao recalled the instructions given by the school doctor in the white coat:

"I need a herb called Crimson Blood Grass, which only grows along the lava rivers of the Crimson Abyss, absorbing fire-attribute energy and demonic energy to grow. It is the main ingredient for refining high-level pills and one of the core ingredients of this medicinal bath."

After recalling the events.

Ye Xiao muttered to himself, "The Crimson Blood Grass grows on the banks of the lava river in the Crimson Abyss... So, I have to go to the lava river first."

Under the intense heat of the Crimson Abyss, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that he could actually persevere.

Although the temperature reached 60 degrees Celsius as soon as you entered.

However, this was also due to his body refinement and physical evolution during this period.

This gave him a certain degree of heat resistance.

at this time.

Ye Xiao examined the map, searching for the location of the lava river.

Moving westward from the outer scorched earth, the terrain gradually decreases, and the first lava river appears.

The river is 100 meters wide, and its water is liquid magma with a temperature of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.

There is a natural stone bridge over the river, but it is very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

The surface temperature of the stone bridge is extremely high, requiring fire-resistant equipment to walk on.

Once you cross the river, you'll be in the territory of the Balrog Warriors.

The map provides a wealth of comprehensive information.

So, Ye Xiao followed the coordinates on the map and headed west towards the lava river.

The ground around the scorched earth was pitted and uneven, with solidified magma rocks everywhere.

He stepped on it, and the soles of his shoes made a sizzling sound—the ground temperature was too high, and ordinary shoe soles couldn't withstand it for long.

Fortunately, he was wearing special shoes made by Chiyabao, which could withstand high temperatures and could be worn for longer.

He quickened his pace, trying to step on the darker-colored rocks.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Ye Xiao finally saw the first Flame Demon larva ahead.

It was one meter tall, with skin like charcoal and eyes like two balls of fire, and it was lying on a rock gnawing on something.

When it saw Ye Xiao, it suddenly raised its head and spewed flames from its mouth.

Having previously fought against the Flame Demon Warrior.

Ye Xiao seemed to handle the weaker Flame Demon larva with much more ease.

The larval form of the Flame Demon breathed fire at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao dodged to the side, took a step in front of it, and punched it on the head.

【Ding! 】

You have completed a punch, with a power of 85%!

"Bang--!"

A flash of golden light appeared on the fist, and the head of the larval fire demon exploded.

Its body twitched twice, then turned into a pool of lava and seeped into the ground.

"This larva of the Flame Demon isn't very resilient!" Ye Xiao thought to himself. "I can save my strength for later; there's no need to use so much force every time."

A flame-colored crystal, about the size of a fingernail, was left on the ground, emitting a faint glow.

Flame Demon Crystal!

This thing is synonymous with military merit.

Ye Xiao bent down, picked it up, and put it in his bag.

but.

The Flame Demon Crystal of the Flame Demon Larva was significantly smaller than the Flame Demon Crystal that dropped when he killed the Flame Demon Warrior.

The method for determining military merit has become more intuitive, directly based on the size of the Flame Demon Crystal.

He continued westward.

Along the way, he encountered seven or eight larvae of the Flame Demon, which he defeated with a single punch.

Originally, Ye Xiao was wary and quite worried about the Crimson Abyss World.

He practiced boxing intensively in the school's gravity training tower and trained his body like a madman in the physical training hall.

The concern is that his strength is insufficient, and he won't be able to survive in the Crimson Abyss World.

Unexpectedly, after he entered the Crimson Abyss World...

It was as if he had transformed into a high-level player, instantly killing all the enemies he thought were very strong!

Along the way, Ye Xiao collected a total of ten Flame Demon Crystals, and also picked up three Fire Spirit Grasses and five pieces of Hematite Ore.

The resources in the surrounding scorched earth are not abundant, but it is safe.

There are no fire demon warriors, no lava rivers, no volcanic eruptions, only endless scorched earth and the occasional low-level monster.

In addition, Ye Xiao also achieved many Crimson Abyss accomplishments.

[Beyond the Rift! Crimson Abyss Chapter Achievement Completed! Enter the Crimson Abyss World! Reward: Passive Skill [Environmental Adaptation I] - Increases endurance by 5% in the Crimson Abyss environment!]

[Crimson Abyss Ten Slashes! Crimson Abyss Chapter Achievement Completed! Accumulate 10 kills of Flame Demons! Reward: Passive Skill [Flame Demon Perception I] – Can perceive Flame Demons within a 100-meter radius!]

[Scorched Earth Walker! Crimson Abyss Chapter Achievement Completed! Walked the outer scorched earth for over half an hour! Reward: Title [Scorched Earth Walker] - Movement speed in Crimson Abyss +10%!]

These newly achieved Crimson Abyss accomplishments can effectively help Ye Xiao survive more securely in the Crimson Abyss world.

After walking for about two hours, a red light appeared ahead.

It's not the sky that's red, it's the ground that's red.

Because the lava river has arrived.
