Chapter 248

"Ding, you have automatically accepted the first trial of 【Demon Dragon Trial】!"

After Luo Chenyu entered the barrier, he appeared in a dim space.

A mysterious prompt appeared before his eyes at the same time.

Along with the prompt.

A quest panel also emerged.

【Demon Dragon Trial (1)】

Trial Objective: Head to the entrance of the Demon Dragon Abyss and defeat the entrance guardian, the Demonic Triceratops.

Trial Time Limit: 60 minutes

Trial Reward: Giant Dragon Blood Essence +1, S-Rank Special Items Treasure Chest +1!

……

Luo Chenyu closed the prompt panel and looked around.

His brow immediately furrowed.

Now, the place where he was located was filled everywhere with black fog, and visibility was very low.

Moreover, looking at the trial objective, he had not reached the real Demon Dragon Abyss at all.

His gaze turned to the Demon Dragon Abyss map.

On it, however, there was no prompt at all.

It seemed this thing was the key to entering the barrier.

Luo Chenyu sighed and put the Demon Dragon Abyss map into his spatial backpack.

Right at this moment.

The little girl in red automatically released her possession state, climbed up along Luo Chenyu's leg, and snuggled into his arms.

"Daddy~"

Luo Chenyu looked at the little girl in red in surprise and asked, puzzled, "Little Red, why did you come out?"

Without his command, she could actually release her possession state on her own—this freedom level was a bit off……

The little girl in red stretched out her little hand, pointing to the southwest: "Daddy~ there's a very annoying power over there, Little Red feels very uncomfortable."

Luo Chenyu was slightly stunned.

A power that could even make the little girl in red feel uncomfortable—now that was interesting.

She was a forbidden existence, so that power was at least also forbidden……

Luo Chenyu patted the little girl in red's head and said, "You go back to the pet space first, just leave brother with a possession state."

Over there, it was very likely the direction of the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Anyway, there was no other choice.

Luo Chenyu stopped hesitating and walked straight toward the target the little girl in red had pointed to.

Not long after.

He arrived outside a Shi Lin, a Shi Lin composed of countless black boulders of varying sizes; even without the black fog obstructing his vision, he still could not see the edges of the Shi Lin.

Apart from the Shi Lin, there was no longer any road in the direction of advance.

Luo Chenyu discovered monsters wandering in the Shi Lin, took out his wolf fang club 【Heaven Domineering】, and charged into the black Shi Lin.

Eye of Insight!

【Black Rock Essence】

【Grade: Special Elite Monster】

【Level:???】

【Attribute:???】

【Strength: Tier 6】

Trembling with rage!

Luo Chenyu was utterly speechless about 【Eye of Insight】; apart from the name and strength, it could not see anything clearly at all.

What use are you?

The next moment.

"Charge through!"

With only Tier 6 strength, it could not pose any threat to him at all, and was perfect for stacking shields on him.

Savage Charge!

His body transformed into a purple lightning bolt, charging toward 【Black Rock Essence】.

Boom!!

Weapons clashed, emitting a muffled sound.

Critical Hit -758821!

True Damage -156382!

Blood Rage -21526!

Three consecutive damage values popping out made Luo Chenyu involuntarily furrow his brow.

【Black Rock Essence】's defense was very high, and its HP was very thick.

With such damage, it had only lost less than 5% of its HP.

That's fine too!

Luo Chenyu revealed a hint of a smile; the thicker the HP, the more it felt right when he fought it.

In East Sea City, in order to control his strength, he had endured very painfully.

Now...

Completely erupted!!

The ferocious wolf-fang club transformed into a sky-filling barrage of club shadows.

With every strike, the damage kept rising, and so did his shield value.

As 【Black Rock Essence】 awoke from its stun.

Countless earth spikes erupted from underground, stabbing the completely unguarded Luo Chenyu.

The damage wasn't high — only a mere few tens of thousands.

The earth spikes didn't disappear, making the terrain extremely complex.

Fortunately, Luo Chenyu wasn't an assassin and didn't need much room to maneuver — he just stood in place and brute-force tanked 【Black Rock Essence】.

Twenty-some seconds later.

Boom!!

The ferocious wolf-fang club slammed into 【Black Rock Essence】's body, smashing it into rubble.

"Ding, you have slain the Lv. 94 special elite monster 【Black Rock Essence】, gaining 258,530 experience points!"

"Ding, your pet 【Phantom Heart (Little Red)】 gained 356,450 experience points!"

"Ding, your pet 【Phantom Heart (Little Red)】 has leveled up by 2, current level Lv. 12!"

With a thought, he collected 【Black Rock Essence】's drops.

He opened his spatial backpack.

Just as Luo Chenyu was about to check the drops, he suddenly noticed that pile of skill books.

Only then did he remember — the treasure he'd spent several hundred million to acquire hadn't been used yet.

"It's all that bastard Leng Long's fault!"

So, ignoring the dropped items, he learned every single skill book.

The next moment.

Luo Chenyu's mind was flooded with an explosion of information.
