The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 32: Sorry, Put in the Wrong Disc
Everyone's gaze shifted toward the source of the sound.
It was a speaker placed at the edge of a cliff, and beside the speaker stood a young man with a butcher's knife at his waist, his body casting a long shadow under the faint moonlight.
Old Tomato's eyes snapped alert.
"It's Su Buxian!"
"It's Brother Su!"
"Sect Hierarch of The Hustlers!"
Night Guard and the others were taken aback, looking at the Bearded Man who had blurted out the name.
The Bearded Man coughed and said, "That's how he introduced himself when he came to the Tower during the day."
"..."
Faced with so many eyes upon him, Su Qi looked back with an odd expression, saying, "Why are you all staring at me? Did the Night Demons around us just stop moving?"
The Night Demons, which had been momentarily captivated by the sound from the speaker, had long since resumed their charge, bringing with them a howling wind and the scent of blood!
"Damn it, it's all because of that crappy music! Watch out, everyone! Retreat, quickly!"
Night Guard couldn't help but grumble as he struggled to get on his feet, but the pain all over his body combined with his depleted physical strength made him dizzy and disoriented.
This was a point of criticism for "Abyssal Paradise" among players: the damage and pain felt all too real. Though it had been toned down, it still greatly affected one's condition.
"Crappy music?" Su Qi asked in surprise: "But this is 'Tenfold Ambush,' the most impactful entrance music."
"Come on, Brother Su, quit joking. If you have any skills or equipment, use them now. Every person we can evacuate counts!" Old Tomato also knew the urgency of the situation; a team wipe would mean a complete failure of the instance.
And at that moment, Night Demons were already lunging at them from the air!
"Don't panic."
Su Qi squatted down, patted the speaker, and calmly pressed a button: "Let me change the disc."
The background music of the speaker suddenly changed!
From the pipa tune before, the sound now seemed like echoes from the Abyss itself, whispers and scraping noises as if someone was playing the violin with a saw and pounding on drums with heavy mallets!
Through the lingering music, countless roars blended like a chorus!
Terror, strangeness, spiritual pollution!
A profound chill filled everyone's hearts.
Could the shift in style be any more abrupt?
[The 'Sound of the Past' has started playing. Until the music ends, your strength, movement technique, and physical strength will receive a twofold enhancement, lasting three minutes.]
Su Qi's eyes flickered with a hint of red. His current status had surpassed that of normal humans, with the attributes of the Night Demon Body receiving an additional double 30 in the darkness, plus another double 15 from the Hundred Man Slaughter Blade, and now boosted by the 'Sound of the Past.'
His strength and movement technique had both reached a terrifying 120.
Su Qi stood on the edge of the cliff, opening his arms wide, and let himself drop. As he fell, he leaned forward and suddenly kicked against the cavern wall!
"Boom!"
The powerful force cracked the wall.
Su Qi then leaped through the air faster than the Night Demons.
"Bend down, young man," Su Qi's voice echoed in Ah Ti's ears.
Ah Ti hurriedly bent down.
With the butcher knife from his waist now in hand, its cold gleam turned into a full moon, sending several oncoming Night Demons flying altogether!
"So strong!" Ah Ti was stunned.
Su Qi didn't stop; he slightly angled the butcher's knife, his figure shifted rapidly, and he cut down the Night Demons lunging towards Night Guard in mid-air!
He also took the opportunity to toss Night Guard toward Old Tomato, who, equally stunned, exclaimed, "Good, good, good! It looks like we still have a chance! Prepare to retreat!"
"Retreat? With the advantage on our side, why retreat?"
Su Qi's words almost made Night Guard spit blood. Bro, would you look up and see, the cave's surroundings are crawling with Night Demons that have been drawn over!
"There's no escaping."
Xun Xiaohuan furrowed her brows as she looked at the growing number of Night Demons surrounding them; their nest had reached a terrible count of hundreds.
"We're done for, we're definitely going to be wiped," Ah Ti's complexion paled drastically.
"Actually, we could try talking to the Night Demons," Su Qi drew his blade from a fallen Night Demon and, looking at the densely packed creatures surrounding him, said, "As long as we are sincere, they might be willing to listen."
"...Are you hearing what you're saying?"
The Night Guard weakly said, "Brother Su, I'm going to vomit blood again, I'm really going to die."
Su Qi chuckled lightly, sheathed his Slaughter Blade, and his eyes revealed an astonishing glow of red jade!
At that moment, his entire presence dramatically transformed, and his voice, along with that terrifying music, spread throughout the entire cave!
"Kneel before me!"
The sound thundered as though it caused the air to vibrate!
All the fierce-faced Night Demons trembled, showing fear in their expressions, to the shock of everyone present!
They thudded to their knees on the ground!
And there stood Su Qi, where he sheathed his blade, his figure like the lord of the Night Demons.
"See, with the right attitude, communication is possible!"
"..."

The group fell into silence, not just because of the shocking scene, but also because, in that instant, everyone's dashboard popped up with a notification.
[Spiritual Power -1]
The Night Guard couldn't calm his heart for a long time, then abruptly turned to stare at the dazed Ah Ti and said, "Why did you kneel too?"
Ah Ti came to his senses and quickly stood up, roaring, "I freaking tripped just now!"
"Although I don't know how Brother Su did it, it looks like we might be able to resolve this now," Old Tomato exhaled in relief.
However, Su Qi said calmly, "To be honest... this was just for a scare. Night Demons aren't smart, naturally they would react like this, but once they come around..."
Old Tomato froze, Why didn't you say this earlier!
We need to retreat first!
"Look, two Night Demons have already come to their senses... they..." The Night Guard suddenly didn't know how to continue.
Two Night Demons had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave!
They were actually freaking driving a car! And one of the Night Demons even shouted:
"The things are here! We can't get close to that big oak tree, or we'll be influenced, you have to do it!"
They were actually able to speak!
One of the Night Demons lifted a huge canister that was on the back of the vehicle and tossed it to Su Qi.
Su Qi caught it steadily, then ran directly towards that big oak tree.
At this moment.
The great oak tree, as if sensing danger, actually began to tremble slightly, and from the numerous leaves, like blood vessels, an astonishing amount of bloodwater started to seep out!
Numerous Night Demons, affected by this, shook off their instinctual fear and all stood up!
One after another, they leaped madly, forming a horrifying tableau like a tide of monsters, densely packed from all directions, charging towards Su Qi!
[Dark Wind Boots activated, Physical Strength consumed by 100 points, your movement speed increases by 30%]
Movement techniques encompass many nuances, and movement speed is just one of them, but even so... it gave Su Qi the feeling of what it's like to be a joyous wind man.
It's when the brain can't keep up with the speed; if it could, it wouldn't be the joyous wind man anymore.
Within moments, he had reached the front of the great oak tree.
Contained within the large canister was a potion developed by Kran using the original bud specimen he had brought back; with Su Qi's strength, it crashed directly into the Infection Tree that had been rooted in this land for twenty years.
The blue liquid poured out!
The great oak tree, as if poisoned and taking immediate effect, trembled wildly, emitting a monster-like screech!
"Is the effect that strong?"
Su Qi also noticed the surrounding Night Demons clutching their heads, seemingly empathically suffering within that screeching sound, wailing in agony!
He was just about to step back to avoid being sprayed by the dripping sap.
Suddenly, Su Qi's gaze froze.
He saw an inconspicuous pattern on the trunk.
A flame encircling a circle, within which were lines like those composed of various vertical pupils.
It was as if a demon was staring at him.
