Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 324 - 183: Cleansing Corrupted Creatures_2
They could clearly feel that these ghostly entities were not only numerous but also of extremely high quality, including a large number of Fierce Tier ghosts!
And when the two Ghost Generals stepped out from the Hundred Souls Banner, the shock on their faces had turned into a helpless smile.
Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan both carried a certain pride, believing their mechanical creations and giant dragons to be no less than any Summoning Profession of the same tier.
But compared to Chu Xiu’s ghostly legion... it was simply not on the same level at all, like kids playing house.
They suddenly remembered the fear of being controlled by Chu Xiu during the world mission.
This was a terrifying existence that could single-handedly take down a world boss!
Yet...
Guan Ke and Zhang Qingshan exchanged a glance, still seeing a hint of worry flash in each other’s eyes.
Chu Xiu was strong, but the problem was, at the bottom of this deep pit lurked a King Tier!
Two General Tiers, plus two hundred Fierce Tiers, along with a large number of Warrior Tiers, were enough to wrestle with the King Tier, but what if more than one King Tier showed up? What then?
The bottom of the pit was the calamity’s domain; it wouldn’t be foolish enough to send enemies of equal strength for everyone to practice against. More likely, it would leverage the terrain for an ambush!
Even a lion uses full force to hunt a rabbit; there’s no way the calamity, which has survived countless years, wouldn’t understand this principle.
In such a situation, even King Tier Awakened individuals needed to be extra cautious. Although Chu Xiu’s strength was unmatched at the same tier, being so reckless was still a bit premature!
With these thoughts, the two looked at Chu Xiu with doubt in their eyes.
However, what they didn’t know was that the already terrifying ghostly legion before them was only a quarter of Chu Xiu’s full strength.
Moreover, although both were at the General Tier, a Ghost General’s strength far exceeded that of a normal General Tier. Combined with the General Order, Bloodline Coexistence, and the horn, the true power of the ghostly legion was at least ten times what the two had imagined!
So, in reality, it was quite the opposite of what the two thought. Chu Xiu was not worried about being ambushed; instead, he was intentionally luring the underground calamity to make a move!
"The underground calamity probably still estimates my strength based on the ambush three days ago. It couldn’t possibly think there’s an existence that can grow significantly stronger solely through killing."
"If they rashly send a King Tier to assassinate me, they’ll be in for a big surprise."
A faint smile curled beneath the mask covering Chu Xiu’s face.
With his Burning Blood Golden Eyes matched with his new demon legion, as long as he didn’t face the main body directly, even all the King Tiers combined wouldn’t be a match for him!
Of course, like usual, Chu Xiu had made other preparations in case the main body did appear; he was confident he could retreat comfortably with Zhang Qingshan.
Without further thought, with a flick of his mind, the ghostly legion broke into dozens of teams, each following Guan Ke’s scouting spirit sparrows, spreading out in all directions, while the two Ghost Generals maintained a distance close enough to provide support at any time.
"Captain, at 58 degrees and a distance of 600 meters ahead on the right, we’ve spotted a large number of corrupted creatures."
"It seems they’ve pre-set traps. Have your summoned creatures to avoid the open square area ahead."
Guan Ke’s voice rang in Chu Xiu’s ear, and with a thought, using the connection from the Hundred Souls Banner, his consciousness descended upon one of the Fierce Ghosts in the area Guan Ke mentioned.
Before him was a large square that seemed to be used for parking military vehicles. The originally flat concrete surface had become uneven and was covered with a thick layer of dust.
However, Chu Xiu quickly noticed that the dust was significantly thinner in some places, and there were signs of artificial destruction on the ground.
"Were mines or something similar buried here?"
Following Guan Ke’s instructions, Chu Xiu led the ghostly entities around the side and soon discovered a small squad of corrupted soldiers hiding atop a building near the square.
The leading corrupted soldier even had a thermal imaging night-vision device, allowing them to accurately observe living beings in the dark. The other squad members were well-coordinated, with heavy gunners responsible for fire suppression, snipers for remote attacks, and demolitions experts for setting explosives.
If it weren’t for Chu Xiu’s ghostly entities being able to transform into a soul body state, they might have been spotted from afar by this squad.
But now, as the ghostly entities approached unseen, the battle was already over.
Each ghostly being solidified its menacing body, appearing out of thin air on the rooftop. The squad hadn’t even reacted before they were torn to shreds.
[Professional Experience +2]
[Cause and Effect Points +15]
The notification rang in Chu Xiu’s ear.
"The elite level of this squad wasn’t high, with only five Warrior Tiers."
"But without Guan Ke’s prior reconnaissance, my ghostly legion might have suffered considerable losses."
Chu Xiu controlled the ghostly entities to gently press the detonation button.
"Boom!"
Instantly, colossal flames erupted in the distance across the square. Dozens of buried bombs detonated together, and besides the blast wave, there were also numerous shards of metal shooting outwards with high heat and pressure, encompassing nearly the entire square within the kill zone.
"Although these corrupted soldiers have lost their free will, they seem to retain some soldiering knowledge and experience. They even placed a large number of metal shrapnel near the bombs."
"The combined yield of these bombs must be several hundred kilograms!"
Chu Xiu was slightly startled.
If his ghostly entities had unknowingly stepped onto the square, even in soul body state, the Mortal Tier Yin Ghosts would have been instantly blown apart, and the Fierce Ghosts would also have been injured! Those closer to the blast site could even be directly shattered.
