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

Chapter 92 Re-entering the Abyss
The next day, before entering the abyss for the second time.

Chu Xiu was summoned by the school to a spacious hall where dozens of people, both men and women, had already gathered. They were all awakened individuals participating in this trial.

People continued to come in, and after a few more minutes, when the number of people in the room had reached about one hundred, a middle-aged man in a suit closed the door and walked onto the podium.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Long, a C-rank operator from the Awakener Management Bureau."

"You will soon be entering the abyss again. I have been sent by my superiors to explain the arrangements for this operation."

"But before that, I would like to observe a minute's silence for those students who lost their lives in the trials."

As he spoke, Wu Long lowered his head solemnly.

Many students in the audience seemed to have thought of something as well, their faces turning somber.

A minute later, Wu Long looked up and smiled, "Alright, let bygones be bygones."

"Next, the only thing you need to consider is how to complete the world mission."

"The relevant materials have been sent to everyone in the past few days. It doesn't matter if you haven't seen them yet. My task is to ensure that all of you have a concrete understanding of this operation before entering the abyss."

Without further ado, Wu Long got straight to the point.

"The World Mission strategy period is divided into three phases over nine days. The first three days are for improving your strength. I suggest that as soon as you enter the Abyss, you go to the nearest stronghold. There will be dedicated personnel to gather information and help you form a team to complete the three challenge missions and obtain causal points to improve yourselves."

"The next three days will be the phase of intelligence gathering and reducing monster density. During this phase, we will officially head towards the central city area."

"Those who have received a contract should follow the instructions of their respective factions. Those who do not have a contract can go to the gathering points set up by the government and complete the missions under the government's command. Don't worry, the country will not make things difficult for you. All missions are based on safety, and the rewards are quite substantial."

"Of course, you are also free to explore and seek out the hidden opportunities in the world of corpse demons, but I won't go into details about that."

"In short, we must eliminate all the easily killable monsters in the city within these three days and maximize our combat strength!"

"The last three days will be the official phase of conquering the world quests."

"I imagine you all heard how generous the rewards of world quests are before you came here, right?"

"But what I want to tell everyone is that, compared to the generous rewards, completing world missions is much more difficult!"

"The abyss isn't doing charity; it throws out the world as bait so that we'll leave more lives inside!"

As Wu Long spoke, he opened a report: "In the past three years, the completion rate of global missions has been 29.67%, while the completion rate of outer city missions is only 16.88%!"

"Even though our class has produced many geniuses, considering the difficulty of the Shiki world, the probability of success given by professional prediction agencies is no more than 30%!"

"The purpose of what I'm saying is to tell you that now is not the time for you to fight and compete. We all have only one common goal, which is to work together to complete the [World Mission]!"

"If you don't even complete the [World Quest], then no matter how generous the reward is, it's all for nothing and has no meaning whatsoever!"

Wu Long's words made the students below look much more serious. Chu Xiu also realized that he had come to give a pre-battle pep talk.

At the same time, a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Chu Xiu has never underestimated the difficulty of the world mission. Although Lin Wanyue and Ye Junlin are currently competing fiercely, there is a high probability that they will eventually find that even if the two of them work together, it will be difficult to complete the world mission.

The reason is simple: the Shiki world's area level is three!
This means that the highest level of creatures that can exist within the trial area is the ferocious one.

As a world quest boss, it should at least be a fierce-rank elite, and it's not impossible for it to be a fierce-rank leader!

It was precisely because of the high difficulty of the world mission that Chu Xiu spent a lot of money to refine three Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails. If it were just to deal with other people, there would be no need to use such a powerful weapon.

Of course, with such a high level of difficulty, the rewards are unimaginably generous, especially the first-place [Core Positioning Anchor Point], which is more valuable than all the other [Positioning Anchor Points] combined! Chu Xiu is determined to obtain it!
Moreover, it is said that if your contribution percentage is particularly high when completing a world mission, you may receive extremely rare additional rewards.

Afterwards, Wu Long explained the specific arrangements, and everyone was led to the playground to prepare for entering the abyss together.

As soon as Chu Xiu stepped onto the playground, Zhang Qingshan ran over, seemingly having been searching for Chu Xiu.

"When we enter the abyss, stay away from those high-level awakened beings like Ye Junlin and Lin Wanyue," Zhang Qingshan said hurriedly as if he had received some news.

"These guys are crazy about getting [anchor points], and it's easy to become cannon fodder if you're with them."

"After you and Chu Qin reunite, just follow the government's arrangements. That way, at least your life won't be in danger. Don't think about the reward; surviving is the most important thing!"

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement, and Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything more, but gave Chu Xiu a bear hug at the end.

Soon, as the cooldown ended, the awakened ones in the arena began to [Dive Deep] one after another. Chu Xiu also entered the awakening space. Having run the dungeon countless times, he was already very familiar with it. The surrounding scenery changed, and when his feet touched the ground again, a dry, hot wind blew in his face.

The scene before me was a desolate, abandoned street, with yellow sand and gravel being whipped up by the wind and pelting the car frames, making a clanging sound.

"It's back again."

The place Chu Xiu arrived at this time was exactly the same as the place he had left before, with towering apartment buildings right next to him.

Just as he was surveying his surroundings, a roar suddenly rang in his ears. Chu Xiu turned his head and saw a ghoul with its blood-red maw wide open rushing straight at him!

"puff!"

The Heavenly Demon Hand struck out from behind Chu Xiu, instantly turning the corpse demon into a pile of minced meat.

However, the sound attracted the attention of more corpse demons. In Chu Xiu's powerful senses, at least a dozen corpse demons were rushing towards him!

"Interesting, have the ghouls respawned?"

Chu Xiu revealed a smile, waved his hand, and several Yin Ghosts rushed out, easily tearing all the Corpse Ghosts to pieces.

Their souls were devoured by the Yin Ghosts, and their bodies became nourishment for the Fiend Soul Banner. Unfortunately, for Chu Xiu now, the experience provided by these low-level corpse ghosts was pitifully little.

Instead of meeting up with Shen Zhuo as planned, he went to the underground parking garage first.

They were then disappointed to find that only low-level ghouls had spawned.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Blood Moon Ritual is used to upgrade low-level ghouls to high-level ghouls. This place is a large-scale ghoul breeding farm," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

He remembered that for ghouls, the reward for completing the Blood Moon Ritual was a level increase of 1.

Although there were no high-level corpse demons, Chu Xiu did not mind. He swept away the hundreds of corpse demons in the underground parking lot and successfully refined two Yin Ghosts. Then he went uphill and soon arrived at the stronghold.

Shen Zhuo and the others were very happy to see him and once again extended an invitation to join their team, but naturally, Chu Xiu ruthlessly rejected it.

“Alright,” Shen Zhuo said with a regretful look, “then let’s proceed according to the government’s arrangements.”

As he spoke, he took out a map with the nearest meeting point marked on it.

In order to coordinate the entire global mission, the government spent a lot of money to manufacture hundreds of walkie-talkies that could be sent into the abyss and established thirteen outposts.

The leaders of these thirteen strongholds possess more precise maps, including a large number of known locations of warrior-level creatures and their lairs.

Of course, the person in charge of each stronghold only has information about the monsters in their vicinity, while the map released to ordinary awakened individuals only shows the general terrain and the location of the stronghold.

This is to prevent powerful awakened individuals like Chu Xiu from using their first-mover advantage to sweep away all the resources, leaving nothing for others.

Since the experience gained has a decay mechanism, theoretically distributing monsters according to level to all Awakeners is the best strategy to improve overall strength. However, it is obvious that high-level Awakeners will not let low-level monsters go, so some safety measures are still necessary.

"It's better to get map information from the outpost than to blindly explore the city."

The city was too big; no matter how strong he was, he couldn't search it all by himself. Moreover, Chu Xiu didn't believe that he was invincible after advancing to the Warrior rank. There must be creatures in this city stronger than him now.

"My next task is to keep searching for and hunting monsters in the city to level up, while also gathering information about hidden quests." Chu Xiu quickly formulated a plan.

After memorizing the location of the stronghold, he ignored Shen Zhuo and the others' attempts to persuade him to stay and parted ways with them.

Arriving at a secluded spot, and donning the robes and mask of the Elder of Suffering, Chu Xiu stepped directly off the balcony and leaped from the thirty-second floor!

A gust of wind lifted his robe, revealing the hideous white bone armor beneath. Chu Xiu used a few elusive steps to gather his strength, thus neutralizing most of the gravitational potential energy.

"boom!"

Chu Xiu landed with a dashing pose, smashing the bricks beneath his feet and sending dust billowing into the air.

Attracted by the loud noise, a large horde of corpses surrounded them, which was exactly what Chu Xiu wanted. With a wave of his hand, a large number of Yin ghosts and fierce ghosts rushed out!
It was as if a dozen heavily armored knights had charged into a pile of farmers, with bits of flesh flying everywhere, and wave after wave of ghouls were being hunted down!

[Professional Experience +1]

Experience points are generated one after another, and living souls are constantly being absorbed into the evil spirit banner, hatching new ghosts. Moreover, karma points and equipment are also dropped from time to time!

In the distance, a horde of corpses noticed Chu Xiu and, led by an elite ghoul, roared as they surrounded him.

Chu Xiu glanced at it, and without saying a word, he activated the Misty Step, leaping into the air and crashing heavily into the horde of corpses. He then unleashed the Berserk Demon Hand, and before the elite corpse demon could even open its mouth, it was smashed into a pulp like a whack-a-mole!

[Professional Experience +3]

The other ghosts swarmed forward and instantly dismembered and devoured the horde of corpses.

[Acquire equipment.]

"The real world is so much better; it's much more efficient than grinding in dungeons."

Looking at the constant stream of notifications, Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

He recalled the last time he came here, how could he dare to provoke such a large horde of zombies led by elite ghouls? He didn't even dare to walk openly on the street, for fear of attracting the attention of the strange birds flying in the sky.

At that time, there were too many creatures that could kill Chu Xiu!
But now, it's basically a straight-up rampage! Chu Xiuba needs to kill as many monsters as possible!

That strange bird that he couldn't possibly defeat before has arrived, and it was all over with a single punch from the Berserk Demon Hand!
It's so arrogant!

"Right now, as long as I don't encounter a ferocious-level opponent, I basically have no rivals. Even if I do encounter a ferocious-level opponent, I can protect myself!"

With this in mind, Chu Xiu simply released all the ghosts from the Fiend Banner, letting them freely hunt down the nearby corpse ghosts.

Instantly, countless ghosts swarmed out like locusts, wantonly hunting down the nearby corpses!
And so Chu Xiu led the horde of ghosts, sweeping through the area, and headed towards a residential building.

While exploring the area near the apartment building, Chu Xiu marked several terrifying entities that he absolutely must not mess with.

Now, these "terrifying beings" will become his experience points one by one.

Chu Xiu had been lying low when he lacked strength, but now that he had enough, he was going to strike boldly and seize all the resources without hesitation!
