Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 20: A Night of Chaos, A Night of Slaughter

The Abyss is like a reflection of countless broken fragments of worlds, possessing an almost infinite projection of worlds.

The fact that cultivators are captured and brought here to undergo tribulation might be a product of the rules of the Abyss, or perhaps the whimsical idea of ​​some unspeakable being. Whether this small world is real or not, what does it matter?

The Tribulations Tribulations Trials are only concerned with adventuring in endless otherworldly realms. As long as they don't die, it's not necessarily all bad. They can draw upon the abyssal energy from these endless otherworldly realms to acquire resources that will strengthen them.

However, those who are undergoing their first tribulation are often weak, either having only recently awakened their powers or possessing only one natal demonic pet.

Therefore, most of the walkthrough videos in the past have emphasized one point: try to avoid combat.

Although the initial tribulation is not particularly difficult, the mortality rate remains high.

The older generation's thoughts were all advising the newcomers that survival was the most important thing, that they only had one life, and that they shouldn't fantasize about killing indiscriminately in the world of tribulations in order to obtain the top evaluation.

People who think "I am destiny" or "I am the protagonist" are often just stepping stones for the first nine out of ten, paving the way for the last lucky one to succeed.

Li Chunfeng initially followed the strategy of playing it safe, prioritizing survival.

However, the world of tribulations is complex, and those who undergo tribulations need to adapt to changing circumstances.

Given the current situation, battle is inevitable.

It's like a battle royale; the closer it gets to the end, the smaller the safe zone becomes, and the more uncontrollable the situation becomes.

Therefore, it is best to strike first.

Li Chunfeng took out a sphere with a single eye from the mustard seed, activated it, and tossed it into the air. The sphere immediately extended two small wings. The single eye swept around, taking in the surrounding scene, while his own figure gradually disappeared into the void.

Photograph beads.

In the ancient, dark cobblestone streets of the old city, Li Chunfeng was the only one, strolling leisurely, even to the point of laziness. The surrounding mist was thick and gloomy, sometimes like tentacles waving, sometimes like a giant beast swallowing, but he seemed oblivious to it all.

If it weren't for the frantic hooting sounds all around him, his leisurely stroll would surely make one think he was waiting for his wife to come home from get off work.

The surrounding streets were under surveillance, and he could even proudly say that he had a deeper control over this area than the monsters.

The ancient city of Maha is especially lively tonight.

A battle had just taken place here, and powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy from heaven and earth erupted again not far away.

Someone is casting a spell.

There are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as Li Chunfeng.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the survivors. Rather than waiting to die, they should take a gamble!
The first night is the perfect time to stir things up; someone will always be tempted to take the initiative and test the waters.

As they drew closer, the monster's piercing roars intensified, accompanied by deafening magical booms.

Standing at the corner of the alley, Li Chunfeng could even smell the stench of decay in the air. He took a deep breath and murmured, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand; death truly is my stepping stone to advancement..."

After saying that, he opened his mouth and inhaled. Several invisible ghosts in the mist struggled instinctively, but could not escape the fate of being swallowed up by the Great Demon King.

"Killers can be resurrected, but if their souls are gone, can they still be resurrected?"

With that thought in mind, he quickly refined the ghost.

Add a few more black lotuses to the small interior scene.

After several minutes of fierce fighting, the roars gradually faded away, and it seemed that the situation between the two sides had become clear after a brief and intense confrontation.

Li Chunfeng burped, spitting out the indigestible fragments of the ghost from his nostrils, which then dissipated into the world.

“You’ve finished fighting and lured the killer away. Now it’s my turn.”

Several ferocious spider monsters were approaching from around the corner, instinctively avoiding the lantern's light. Just then, a few crisp "crackling" sounds came from within the mist. The spiders were curious; the aura seemed familiar, yet not quite.

In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by ten tall bone spirit warriors.

The moment the two sides met, the spider monsters were clearly taken aback for a second.

The dark, skeletal club, emanating a dense aura of death, clearly did not belong to any living being. It was truly unbelievable to see different monsters within the mist. Just as they were racking their brains to determine if this was a new type of soldier under the God Lord's command, more than a dozen blades of energy poured down.

The spiders didn't even last a second before being torn to pieces by the blades. As usual, Li Chunfeng devoured the spider spirits completely, and, well, something actually fell to the ground.

A first-tier demon spider core.

[Demon Spider Core: Tier 1, contains a talent spell soul seed, devour!]

[Devouring Seed, High-grade Human Rank. It allows one to strengthen themselves, or improve their defense and self-healing abilities by consuming the internal organs of flesh-and-blood beings!]

For a fleeting moment, Li Chunfeng felt a stirring in his heart. Even without the Burning Lamp, this demonic spider would still be a top-tier demonic pet.

But compared to the countless lantern ghosts, the demon spiders are nothing.

Everyone says the first trial for beginners is a lucky one, and I've already gotten loot after just killing a few spider monsters. The veterans were right.

So the hunt continued.

Hunters often appear in the form of prey.

As a group of spiders were on their routine patrol, they suddenly sensed the presence of a human ahead. Immediately, they agitated and gave chase, ready for a feast. However, the person surrounded remained calm and composed, uttering, "You are now surrounded."

Kakakka~
The Bone Spirit Warriors emerged from the darkness, and the encirclement fell into a trap.

A moment later, a lantern at the gate of a house on the street flickered, transmitting information about the demonic spiders passing by to him. Although Li Chunfeng still wore a cold, mocking smile, he cautiously retreated quickly, pressing himself against the wall.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the fog suddenly billowed out at the entrance of the dark alley.

Suddenly, a large number of lantern ghosts appeared, and the next moment, countless orange-red fireballs rained down from the sky, displaying a chilling flame.

The Soul Fireballs rained down, turning into a sea of ​​fire that blasted several demonic spiders to smithereens, and the flames of the explosion engulfed half the alley.

The demonic spider let out a shrill cry, and nearby demonic spiders, receiving the signal, swarmed over.

Li Chunfeng immediately waved his hand to disperse the lantern ghosts, turned around, and quickly circled to the other end. The ten bone spirits attacked again, fighting their way from one end of the street to the other.

Such examples are too numerous to mention.

With several streets around him under his watchful eye, even though these spiders had a special way of communicating, Li Chunfeng could easily move from one location to another, making them run around in circles.

Conversely, if even a few spiders are left alone, they will immediately be met with his thunderous attack.

Facing a top-tier first-level bone spirit warrior, without the Slayer appearing, this group of newly-advanced demonic spider monsters were no match at all. One strike, one kill; ruthless and merciless.

Not to mention that Bone Spirit Warriors are naturally adept at group combat; they are inherently group-based, and teamwork on the battlefield is already a racial talent.

With lanterns lit and sentries on duty, they can keep killing and killing indefinitely.

Slaughter them until they are terrified, slaughter them until they are extinct.

It has to be said that the drop rate for beginners' first tribulation is indeed quite high. He has already collected dozens of materials, including demon bones and demon cores.

As for the killers, he had no intention of meeting them tonight.

Today's strategy is to weaken its minions first.

Inside the cellar of a house, two survivors who had coincidentally come together were holding their breath and hiding. They heard the sounds of fighting outside lasting for half the night, along with occasional angry roars. They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

At first they were terrified, but then they realized that the fighting wasn't aimed at them. "Who on earth is so brave, fighting all night long!"

As dawn approached, the screeching outside gradually subsided, and the survivors, who had been living in fear all night, breathed a sigh of relief, finally having made it through another day.

Meanwhile, the four killers who had been running around like headless flies all night returned to the mountain and regained their human forms.

"How many survivors are there? Why does it feel like they're everywhere?" The only woman, now free, asked angrily.

Influenced by the ancient city's rules, once they transform after nightfall, they only retain their autonomous combat consciousness, and their hunting behavior in their original form is no longer under their control. That's why they are constantly running around, exhausted.

If they were under their own control, they could order all the spiders to immediately surround that area, preventing anyone from taking advantage of the situation, instead of being driven by instinct to hunt as they are now.

"This kind of uncontrolled battle is really too uncomfortable."

Thank you for the monthly pass! (*￣3)(ε￣*) Mwah!
