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

Chapter 47 Misunderstanding
A stream of heat surged from Chu Xiu's body, nourishing his limbs and bones. Feeling the continuous flow of new energy within him, Chu Xiu comfortably closed his eyes.

"Six hundred experience points from one monster! A 100% experience bonus is awesome!" he exclaimed.

With a thought, the character panel appeared.

[Name] Chu Xiu

[Rank] Mortal Rank 7 (306/1400)

[Constitution] 18.26
[Mental State] 8.68
[Energy Level] 26.85
[Other] Omitted
His three-dimensional attributes increased again, although the increase was not particularly dramatic, it still significantly improved Chu Xiu's strength.

Of course, the most crucial element is the completely new legacy!
[Demon Artifact Crafting: Yin Wind Banner]

Rank: Mortal

[Quality: Superior]

[Description: Low-grade magic weapon, capable of releasing Yin Wind Blades.]

[Evaluation: As a demonic cultivator who has successfully reached level 7 of the mortal realm, you are probably already familiar with the power of the Yin Wind Blade.]

However, this technique has a major drawback: to unleash sufficiently high power, it requires an extremely long energy storage time.

The Yin Wind Banner perfectly solves this problem.

All the tedious preparations will be completed by the restrictions within the banner. Now you only need to wave your hand to unleash a powerful wind blade.

[Based on its swift and stealthy activation characteristics, it is arguably the best partner for novice demonic cultivators to commit murder and robbery.]

This upgrade also provided the crafting method for a magical artifact, which greatly surprised Chu Xiu.

It's important to know that while the Misty Step is very powerful, it also consumes an astonishing amount of energy.

Even though he now has an energy level of nearly 27, he still can't last more than a few dozen seconds in a high-intensity battle where he needs to dodge frequently.

Therefore, he simply didn't have the extra energy to unleash the Yin Wind Blade, let alone a minor-level Yin Wind Blade, which was no longer sufficient to meet his current high-level combat needs. Chu Xiu also had no intention of continuing to invest in this basic skill.

The appearance of the Yin Wind Banner can be said to have perfectly solved this problem.

"Then the next step is how to refine it."

Chu Xiu focused on examining the detailed information and discovered that, unlike the demonic artifacts that could be made from corpses before, the Yin Wind Banner was much more complex.

[Flag Handle: Yin Wind Wood (can be replaced with some Yin attribute wood)]

[Banner Body: Demon Beast Hide (The quality of the hide will determine the strength of the released Yin Wind Blade)]

[Core Item: One mid-grade spirit stone]

[Restriction: Demon Beast Blood (The stronger the spiritual energy conduction ability, the better)]

"It seems we'll have to return to Earth and see if we can find replacements for these things."

Looking at the words that appeared before his eyes, Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Since the cultivation civilization has been destroyed, it's normal that many materials are hard to find.

But Chu Xiu felt that all methods in the world lead to the same goal, and he thought he should be able to find alternative materials.

Even with only a one percent chance of success, Chu Xiu could still refine it with his perfect skills, comparable to those of a master craftsman.

Knowing the situation was clear, Chu Xiu stopped dwelling on it. At this moment, he sensed that the battle at the stronghold was basically over, and Shen Zhuo and the others helped each other out of the stronghold. As soon as they came out, they saw Chu Xiu standing calmly at the top of the stairs.

"Chu Xiu!" Shen Zhu gritted his teeth, "How could you stand by and watch someone die!"

The crowd behind them were also furious, but they were all in a bad mood and dared not offend Chu Xiu at this time. Wu Xinyi stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhuo, looking at Chu Xiu coldly and said, "Forget it, don't you know what kind of person he is?"

The injured bodyguard sneered, "He might be hoping we all die so he can take our equipment."

Shen Zhuo pursed his lips, suppressing the anger in his heart, while Yun Lu's expression was even more gloomy.

Chu Xiu glanced at them, turned and left without a word, and just as he stepped aside, a ray of moonlight shone through, illuminating the area behind him.

Only then did everyone realize that a huge corpse was lying in the darkness!

The layers upon layers of exoskeleton, and the arms that are much thicker than those of ordinary ghouls, all indicate that this is a higher-level ghoul!
With that terrifying size and the blessing of the Blood Moon, it goes without saying that its strength is definitely over 20 points!
The fact that he fell so close to the stronghold made Shen Zhuo have an uncontrollable thought.

If this guy gets to the stronghold...
In that confined space, its enormous body could completely block the corridor! The group could only confront this behemoth head-on, with absolutely no chance of survival!

But now, this high-level ghoul has already turned into a corpse. Could it be...?
Everyone looked at Chu Xiu, who showed no sign of being wronged. He simply smiled and said, "I sensed a high-level corpse demon nearby, so I went to stop it. I didn't expect you all to misunderstand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhuo and the others were stunned, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.

"You, me..." Shen Zhuo opened his mouth, but a sense of unease rose in his heart. In his mind, even if Chu Xiu was not cold-blooded and ruthless, he should not have gone so far as to disregard his own safety and act like a hero.

But upon seeing the enormous corpse of the ghoul, all doubts vanished, replaced only by deep remorse!
"Chu Xiu, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you!"

Shen Zhuo stepped forward apologetically and took Chu Xiu's hand with concern: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Chu Xiu waved his hand.

Shen Zhuo felt even more guilty and lowered his head, saying, "We've used up all the healing medicine we found before, but I, Shen Zhuo, will never forget your life-saving grace! Once we get back to Blue Star, I'll hire a professional healer and make sure you don't have any hidden dangers!"

Wu Xinyi said with a face full of shame, "Chu Xiu, I misunderstood you before, I apologize to you."

She kept her head down, not daring to look at Chu Xiu, her heart completely filled with shame and self-blame.

"correct."

At this moment, Shen Zhuo, who was concerned about Chu Xiu, suddenly noticed a problem: "Chu Xiu, when did you become so strong?"

Because of his Blood Moon perception, he could sense that Chu Xiu was very strong! Although he couldn't determine Chu Xiu's exact level, he was certain that Chu Xiu's level was definitely higher than his own!
That high-level ghoul was definitely not something a support class could handle.

The others also looked at Chu Xiu with curiosity.

In response, the latter readily admitted, "After killing this monster, I have already reached level 6."

He omitted one level, but it still shocked everyone, especially Shen Zhuo, who asked incredulously, "How did you do that? Li Shan said your energy level is only 0.8. Is he lying to us? Are you actually a high-grade professional?"

Chu Xiu composed himself and said seriously, "No, Li Shan didn't lie to you. The energy level I tested before was indeed only 0.8."

"The reason I can upgrade so quickly is because of my upgrade method."

Next, Chu Xiu told the others about his experiences during this period, such as using climbing ropes as a life-saving device to hunt at night, and taking advantage of the terrain to risk fighting elite zombie dogs.

Of course, he concealed many of his magical artifacts and spells, which made his story sound particularly thrilling.

Like a warrior dancing between life and death.
