Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 348 - 191: Poison Claw Corpse
"Having four King Tier to work for me, such treatment is probably rare even among the Celestial King’s disciples."
Chu Xiu commanded his ghost subordinates, firmly occupying every advantageous position in the cave, happily harvesting the lives of corrupted residents.
At first, he held back a little, but eventually, he no longer pretended, directly dispatching a large number of ghosts to follow behind the four King Tier, specializing in "picking up leftovers."
This made the few of them roll their eyes in anger.
"Kid, if you touch one more of my creatures, see what happens!" Mu Wu turned back and shouted angrily.
Chu Xiu remained silent, just bowed his head. Mu Wu thought he was scared, but when he turned around, he saw that Chu Xiu’s ghosts showed no sign of stopping, launching more than ten Life-taking Techniques to harvest the corrupted residents he had just heavily injured and knocked down.
This made Mu Wu feel like he hit cotton, wanting to explode but not knowing where to start.
Not cooperating with Chu Xiu and slacking off would not cause him any loss; rather, it would mean one less person sharing resources.
Concentrating efforts to ensure every punch is a kill, leaving Chu Xiu no opportunity to capitalize, would lead to too high energy consumption, and when facing the Calamity, the energy bar might hit bottom! If failing to get benefits after killing the Calamity because of this, it would be like dropping a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
Apart from this, there was nothing else he could do. He couldn’t just turn around and fight with Chu Xiu! Qin Xiang would never agree to that.
This made Mu Wu’s face turn red with anger; when had a King Tier ever been bullied by a Fierce Tier like this? Forget Fierce Tier, even a General Tier in front of him had to be respectful!
Ultimately, Mu Wu, angry to the point of redness, reluctantly chose—
to complain to Qin Xiang.
However, Qin Xiang just said with a bit of helplessness, "Why fret over such trivial matters, Brother Mu? The upcoming Calamity is the main event."
Hearing this, Mu Wu and the other three King Tier could only suppress their frustrations.
But despite the frustration, the three were silently amazed:
"What’s with this kid? His legion of summoned creatures and energy seem endless, and he controls them with such precision, able to keep pace with our combat rhythm!"
"Isn’t he just a Fierce Tier???"
"Could this be his talent? If so, then the tier of this talent must not be low!"
Realizing Chu Xiu’s talent was so terrifying, their dissatisfaction slightly diminished. With a genius of this level, letting him have some advantage was alright as a gesture of goodwill.
Thus, the three stopped protesting and focused on advancing.
Everyone moved at high speed, and it wasn’t long before they approached the area where the Buddha Statue was located, having cleared over ten thousand corrupted residents.
So many corrupted residents, all Fierce Tier, even if the Abyssal Power content in them was much lower than ordinary abyssal creatures, it was a staggering number.
Chu Xiu quickly calculated; just the Cause and Effect Points he gained exceeded forty thousand! The equipment he collected along the way could be worth twenty to thirty thousand more!
No wonder this was a vast hoard of resources that even the King Tiers coveted.
"Now my total number of Cause and Effect Points is nearing one hundred and twenty thousand, along with a large amount of equipment and artifacts that can be exchanged."
"With this, mastering the Sixth Layer of Golden Flesh and Nether Bone is just around the corner," Chu Xiu thought to himself.
However, just as he was secretly rejoicing, the five suddenly sensed a tremor from the deepest part of the cave.
This tightened everyone’s heart as they were well aware that the Calamity wouldn’t just wait to be killed. Even trapped beasts fight back, let alone high-level life forms that have existed for who knows how many years?
Sure enough, beyond what the five expected, the tremor from the cave’s depths became increasingly intense, until the rocks beneath their feet were shaking!
"Is it breaking free from its bonds?" Mu Wu asked.
"No," Wen Feiyan shook her head, "If it could break free of the chains, the Calamity would have done so long ago, and if not, then it’s just wasting effort, making it easier for us to kill it instead."
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be a special communication method, transmitting information to other corrupted creatures, and the cave’s tremor is merely a surface effect caused by high-power energy output."
Li Zhan nodded in agreement, "I agree; I’ve seen a similar method when battling a Primitive Totem. Back then, abyssal creatures within over a dozen miles were mobilized to attack me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang immediately picked up the communication device to contact other Awakened.
Needless to say, the King Tier truly were well-versed in this; in the Abyss, who knows how many battles they’ve experienced and how many worlds they’ve visited? Their experiences accumulated over more than ten years allowed them to make a highly accurate judgment.
Just as Wen Feiyan said, after the cave began to tremble, all surface corrupted creatures went berserk, launching frenzied attacks on the Awakened without concern for losses.
"Those corrupted Awakened of lowest Mortal Tier Levels 1 and 2 are so numerous, that even after a day and night of bombardment and multiple rounds of clearing, we’ve only killed less than a third of them."
"If they all rushed in at once, they’d be enough to block every passage of the underground base! Even for us, exterminating that many corrupted creatures would likely deplete our internal energy," Li Zhan said, slightly frowning.
There’s no helping it; the number of corrupted creatures was overwhelming, over a billion, impossible to kill them all.
But none were too concerned.
"These low-tier creatures can’t threaten us, even if they block the passages, breaking through by force wouldn’t be difficult. We could even blow apart the rocks to create a new passage if needed."
