An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 32 Fierce Battle

"Whoosh!"

The materialized Yin Ghost, with a constitution of 12.4, possessed extremely high explosive power! In the blink of an eye, it rushed dozens of meters away!
However, the elite ghoul was even faster!
It arrived late, its massive body almost turning into a pale gray shadow, rapidly closing the distance with the Yin Ghost!

Although the two have similar physical constitutions, their specific tendencies are different. This elite ghoul's strong limbs make it extremely good at running, and its speed far exceeds that of the ghoul!

In less than ten seconds, it caught up and pounced hard on the ghost's back!
Just as the sharp teeth were about to pierce the Yin Ghost's skin, the Yin Ghost's physical body became illusory and transparent. The elite corpse dog bit into empty air, while the Yin Ghost took the opportunity to float more than ten meters away.

However, Chu Xiu could clearly sense that the Yin Ghost's soul was somewhat weakened.

Although the soul body can greatly reduce physical attacks, it is not completely immune. The aftershocks from the massive kinetic energy it carries can still cause minor damage to soul-type creatures.

Moreover, after becoming ethereal, the wild boar that the ghost was holding fell to the ground.

The elite corpse hound ignored the wild boar that had fallen to the ground and wanted to continue chasing the Yin Ghost. However, at that moment, more than a dozen blood-red bone hands suddenly emerged from around its body and firmly grabbed its limbs!

At the same time, a long-charged, jet-black wind blade shot out from the side, striking the massive body of the elite zombie dog!
"Pfft!"

With a deafening roar, as if struck by an anti-materiel sniper rifle, the fur of this enormous beast was torn apart without a doubt, and the flesh beneath was blasted open by the immense energy, scattering in all directions and creating a huge wound!

The beast clearly hadn't expected to be attacked so suddenly. With the help of the White Bone Blood Devouring Array, it had no time to dodge and was directly hit by Chu Xiu's fully charged Yin Wind Blade!
However, after falling, it let out a roar and got up in a very short time, turned to Chu Xiu's location, and let out an angry roar!

"this?"

A look of surprise flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.

He had fully charged up his energy for that attack. Although the corner where he was hiding was more than ten meters away from the attack point in order to avoid being discovered by this elite monster, which reduced the power of the Yin Wind Blade, it still had at least a power of 7.0.

Chu Xiu was completely taken aback by the fact that the opponent could stand up immediately after taking the hit. He had thought that if the attack had landed, the opponent would have been crippled or killed! The rest of the battle would have been over easily.

But then his eyes narrowed and he realized the problem.

At the broken wound of the elite zombie dog, grayish-white bones covered with flesh and blood were exposed. The protective area was extremely large, enveloping all the internal organs of the elite zombie dog. Although there was a deep scratch on it, the overall structure was still stable.

"So this is what the [Bone Spur] trait means? That's a bit troublesome." Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Under his gaze, the elite corpse dog gasped for breath, a strange red light emanating from its body, and the horrific wound on its side began to stop bleeding and heal visibly!
[Skill: Rapid Recovery!]

What's worse is that its previous roar had alerted all the surrounding corpse dogs, and they began to rush towards Chu Xiu's location!

"Looks like we're going to have to fight head-on."

With a thought, Chu Xiu donned a thick suit of white bone armor.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xiu strode forward, twisted his waist and straightened his hips, and suddenly thrust out the bone spear in his hand!
The elite zombie hound roared and leaped away despite the pain. Although it dodged Chu Xiu's attack, the wound that had just stopped bleeding tore open again. At the same time, a blurry phantom suddenly pounced on it. The elite zombie hound immediately trembled all over, like a drowning person who had fallen into icy cold water and whose body heat was constantly being lost!
The Ghost's skill: [Life Drain!]

"laugh!"

Just as the elite zombie hound's limbs went weak, Chu Xiu's bone spear pierced out again, tearing through its thigh muscles!

"Roar!"

The elite corpse hound roared and leaped away. This attack failed to inflict a fatal wound, but it worsened its condition, causing it to bleed profusely and making it seem unable to even stand.

"The enhancement of the bone spear is a bit lagging behind," Chu Xiu thought to himself, his hands never stopping as he launched a series of attacks!
After inflicting another wound, several ordinary corpse dogs arrived and attacked Chu Xiu.

Although Chu Xiu dealt with them without much effort, this brief delay gave the elite ghouls a chance to catch their breath and distance themselves from Chu Xiu. At the same time, more ghouls arrived and firmly protected their wounded leader behind them.

Their numbers grew rapidly, quickly exceeding twenty and continuing to increase, with a large number of ordinary corpse demons also joining the hunt for Chu Xiu.

Looking at the dense horde of corpses before him, Chu Xiu showed no fear. Instead, he licked the blood splattered on the corner of his mouth, and a slightly manic, excited smile appeared on his face, which was covered by the horn helmet.

Behind him, the massive body of the ghost appeared, its two sharp claws reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight!

With a powerful leap, Chu Xiu charged into the horde of zombies like a white beast, his Yin Ghost following closely behind, each claw strike easily shredding a zombie dog into pieces!

Wherever the man and the ghost went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and no corpse demon could stop them! The battle ended in less than five minutes.

Excluding the elite zombie hounds that were ambushed and severely injured by Chu Xiu at the beginning, the other zombies posed no threat to Chu Xiu, who possessed +6 energy absorption armor and had a physique more than twice that of them.

Even if several pounce on him at once, at most he will lose his balance and cause a little trouble.

On Chu Xiu's side, besides himself, there were also two powerful weapons: the Yin Ghost and the White Bone Blood Devouring Array.

It can be said that this battle was almost a one-sided massacre.

"Of course, if dozens of ghouls were to rush at me from all directions at once, I'm afraid I would have a hard time dealing with them."

Unfortunately, while the ghouls have an extraordinary craving for living things, they are not without reason, nor are they unaware of fear.

These ghouls did not launch a fearless all-out attack, which gave Chu Xiu the opportunity to defeat them one by one, especially after Chu Xiu seized the opportunity to kill the elite ghoul.

The final result was that countless ghouls scattered and fled, leaving behind thirty-seven corpses.

[Slaughtering living beings, Professional Experience +218]

[Slaughtering living beings, Professional Experience +256]

Two prompts flashed before Chu Xiu's eyes.

The first wave came from that elite corpse hound, and the rest came from the remaining thirty-odd corpse demons combined.

"We still have to kill high-level elite monsters," Chu Xiu sighed.

The experience provided by just this one is almost equal to that of the remaining thirty-odd ones combined.

"These corpses should be enough, right?"

Excitement flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a large number of corpses of ghouls and ordinary ghouls began to melt and fuse into his bone armor!
As one corpse after another was refined, the white bone armor on his body emitted a dazzling white light, seemingly evolving towards the next stage!

Finally, as if it had broken through a certain critical point, the bone armor began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. The spikes on it became thicker, longer and sharper, the density of the armor plates also began to increase dramatically, and the structure became more compact!

A panel flashed in front of Chu Xiu.

[Exquisite Bone Armor +7]

[Enhancement Progress: 0/10]

Rank: Mortal

[Quality: Collector's Edition]

【Attributes: Protection (6.6), Spikes (1.4), Thermal Insulation (0.4), Energy Absorption (2.0), Weight 31.5kg】

Looking at the data that appeared before him, Chu Xiu couldn't contain his joy.

After refining so many ghouls, I've finally upgraded this armor to +7! Its quality has also been upgraded to [Collector's Edition]!
A +7 bone armor provides incredibly impressive protection, far surpassing even the heaviest plate armor of ancient times.

Not to mention, he also has an extremely strong energy absorption effect. Chu Xiu estimated that now, wearing the bone armor, he could basically withstand military pistol bullets without taking any damage.

Of course, assault rifles still couldn't withstand it; the penetrating power was terrifying.

Even so, this is still amazing enough.

And most importantly
The second layer of restrictions has been unlocked.
