Facing the Abyss as a Demon Cultivator

Chu Xiu chose the 30th floor as his battleground.

It was a certain distance from the stronghold upstairs, maximizing the effect of the bait. At the same time, this place also had certain defensive fortifications, which could reduce the pressure on Chu Xiu.

Moreover, he discovered a point that was extremely beneficial to himself.

"The Yin Ghosts in my Bone Yin Soul Banner are not marked by the Blood Moon!"

"In other words, they can perfectly perform the tasks of sneak attacks and ambushes!"

Those ghouls would never have imagined that they would be suddenly attacked in a place where the Blood Moon's perception showed nothing! This could bring Chu Xiu a huge advantage!

Chu Xiu set up the Bone Blood Devouring Formation at the top of the stairs and set up Yin Ghost ambushes in three directions.

"Everything is ready, next is slaughter time!"

Just as Chu Xiu was thinking, a ghoul had already rushed up!

It was a 004-type black-haired ghoul, but compared to before, its speed was much faster, and its eyes flickered with a violent bloodthirsty light. The moment it saw Chu Xiu, it pounced!

"Hmph," Chu Xiu snorted coldly, twirling the bone spear in his hand, and in the next instant, it shot out like a bolt of lightning!

In front of the fully enhanced bone spear, the fur that the ghoul used for defense was as fragile as thin paper. Chu Xiu hardly felt any resistance, and the bone spear in his hand had already pierced through it!

However, the ghoul seemed to be completely unaware of the heavy injury. It actually slammed its head against the bone spear, roaring and waving its claws as it charged towards Chu Xiu!

"Interesting, so this is the effect of three times the health regeneration speed?"

Three times the health regeneration speed meant far more than just three times faster healing time.

If it were just that, it would have no effect on the battle at all. After all, even a cut on the arm would take a day or two to fully heal.

The real key was the rapid hemostasis and muscle contraction ability brought about by the increased health regeneration speed!

This would allow the same attack to deal less damage! At the same time, when a certain part is severely injured, it minimizes the impact on other parts!

"Coupled with -70% pain suppression... It's like everyone's a berserker now."

Chu Xiu sighed, then looked at the ghoul that was close at hand, and threw a punch!

With a loud bang, the ghoul's head was smashed like a deflated leather ball, dented by the heavy armored fist! The neck was directly broken without any suspense!

"Crack."

The ghoul's body fell to the ground无力地. Chu Xiu waved his hand, flicking the sticky and smelly brains off his armor, and at the same time kicked the ghoul's body off the bone spear.

Even a ghoul with 50% strength enhancement was as fragile as a baby in front of Chu Xiu now.

Thinking of the danger he faced when he first arrived, Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, the experience gained also plummeted accordingly.

[Slaughtering creatures, Profession Experience +14]

"After a 100% increase, is that all?" Chu Xiu frowned.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as there are enough!"

Three ghouls sprang up from behind Chu Xiu, but he didn't move. At the same time, a pitch-black flash appeared in the darkness, instantly cutting the three ghouls in half!

The Yin Ghost's figure appeared in mid-air, blood dripping down from its sharp claws.

"Roar!!!"

More ghouls appeared from all directions, but three Yin Ghosts firmly locked down the three passages. Every ghoul that passed by would be instantly killed without warning!

They were like lions and tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. Wherever they went, there was chaos, blood and flesh flying everywhere!

At the same time, the blood of those killed ghouls all flowed into the Bone Blood Devouring Formation, making the blood color lingering over the formation heavier and heavier! The effect became stronger and stronger, and the range quickly increased to nearly 20 meters!

As soon as a ghoul arrived on the 30th floor, it was grabbed by countless bone arms. It moved as slowly as a dying old man, and was easily pierced through the head by Chu Xiu with a single spear!

Under such circumstances, no matter how many ghouls there were, they were nothing more than food in his growth process.

Chu Xiu's figure nimbly shuttled between the ghouls, each thrust of the bone spear easily taking a life.

However, just as Chu Xiu was concentrating on harvesting, a sharp sound of breaking air suddenly rang in his ears. Chu Xiu turned his head abruptly, and saw a slender black shadow shoot out from the stairwell at an extremely fast speed, stabbing straight at him!

"Bang!"

The black shadow hit the bone armor, and the huge impact made Chu Xiu's chest feel stuffy, and he retreated three steps in a row!

The black shadow quickly retracted. With the help of the blood moon's light, Chu Xiu saw that it was actually a long, retractable tail composed of multiple exoskeletons!

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the spiritual power in his body gathered in his eyes. Immediately, a blurry black shadow emerged from the darkness, along with a panel.

[004-type Ghoul Mutated (Elite)]

[Rank] F-rank Level 6

[Attributes] Physique 24.8, Spirit 2.4, Energy Level 8.9

[Skills] Fatal Claw Strike, Tail Sting

[Traits] Ghoulification, Devour (Devour corpses to gain a short-term boost and restore health and stamina)

[Talent] Blood Moon Frenzy (Under the blood moon, strength, aggression, and nerve reaction speed are greatly increased. After hunting creatures, enter a frenzy state, the boost is further increased, and health and stamina are greatly recovered)

"So it's an old friend." Chu Xiu clenched the bone spear, his eyes filled with a hint of solemnity.

This elite ghoul that suddenly appeared was the one that had attacked him before!

After he leveled up, his Ghostly Eyes revealed more information, but what caught Chu Xiu's attention the most was its terrifying physique of 24.8!

This guy should have hunted a lot of ghouls before coming here. Under the double blessing of the Blood Moon ritual and the Frenzy talent, his basic attributes have reached an extremely abnormal level!

However, there was not much fear on Chu Xiu's face, but a look of excitement.

The last time he encountered this guy, he could only flee in embarrassment, but this time it was completely different.

The +7 Energy Absorbing Heavy Armor was enough to withstand its attacks!

"Then come on!"

Chu Xiu licked his lips, instead of retreating, he rushed forward with a step!

"Screech!!!"

The elite ghoul let out a sharp roar, and charged forward without showing any weakness!

However, just as the two were about to collide, Chu Xiu suddenly stopped and stopped his momentum. At the same time, countless bone hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed the elite ghoul's legs!

In the next instant, two Shadow Wind Blades slashed out from the side at the same time!

"Slash!!!"

A heart-wrenching sound of flesh being torn apart rang out. The elite ghoul's right arm and left abdomen were cut with two huge wounds! But Chu Xiu had timed it perfectly, letting the Yin Ghosts ambushing on both sides attack at the same time!

The Mastered level Shadow Wind Blade, as long as it was fully charged, was enough to cut through a tree trunk that a child could wrap their arms around. Flesh and blood could not resist it at all!

But under the influence of the blood moon, the elite ghoul ignored its injuries and continued to charge towards Chu Xiu!

However, its actions were already expected by Chu Xiu. He ducked, and an even larger Yin Ghost appeared behind him. It was the F-rank Level 8 ghoul!

At the same time, the Small Completion level Shadow Wind Blade had already accumulated in its claws. The moment Chu Xiu squatted down, it shot out!

The elite ghoul had no time to dodge and was hit in the chest by this blow! The huge impact, while tearing open a wound across its entire chest, also caused it to lose its balance. Chu Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, stabbed out with his spear, directly piercing through the lower jaw and out the top of the skull, lifting the elite ghoul up!

The successive heavy injuries finally made it let out a painful roar. Its powerful vitality made it try to attack even after being pierced, but it was nothing more than the last struggle of a dying beast.

Three Yin Ghosts rushed forward, and their sharp claws tore it to pieces in the blink of an eye.

[Slaughtering creatures, Profession Experience +584!]

[Obtained item: Karma Points *88]

[Obtained equipment: Retractable Tail Sting]

(Some may wonder why this elite monster's physique only increased by five points. This is because the effects of the ritual and Frenzy are additive, not multiplicative. The previous 20 points of physique were already boosted by Frenzy.)
