Chapter 1793: Listen to my command! Let's take on the Blood Abyss together!

~7 min read 1,397 words

Elis, upon hearing the explanation, was reluctant.

But since things had come to this, there was no other way, so she reluctantly nodded in agreement to Finley accompanying them.

At this moment, the pointy-eared female demon looked curiously at Xu Jingming:

"Who is this?"

"Blood Abyss."

Elis smiled and introduced, "I invited him to explore the high-level demon nest with us."

"So you're Blood Abyss?"

The pointy-eared female demon's eyes lit up, and she broke into a hearty smile:

"I am Carlos.

I saw you two days ago pushing me and Elis down in the rankings.

Upon seeing the main figure today, indeed, your aura is extraordinary."

"Hello." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.

"Hmph."

Finley, standing nearby, upon hearing this, coldly snorted in displeasure and glanced sideways at Xu Jingming:

"Isn't this the guy who extorted your magic stones two days ago?

Elis, why did you bring this kind of trash along?"

Jealousy surged in his heart.

Two days ago, he had received news that Elis had specifically gone to wait for Blood Abyss in front of the resource tower.

At that time, he had scoffed, given Elis's arrogant nature.

How could she possibly go out of her way to wait for a male demon?

But seeing the current situation, that rumor must be true!

"Blood Abyss is very strong; this joint exploration of the high-level demon nest will be a great help."

Elis glanced at Finley, speaking in a flat tone.

Rex, who had been silent beside them, also slowly nodded, indicating his approval.

"Being able to earn Elis's approval, I must look forward to it."

Carlos laughed, smoothing things over, his gaze lingering on Xu Jingming for a moment longer, with a hint of curiosity.

Only Finley remained sullen, his gaze toward Xu Jingming filled with hostility.

After the mutual introductions were complete, the six of them no longer delayed.

Transforming into six streams of light, they flew straight toward the abyss entrance.

"This high-level demon nest lies in the deepest part of the abyss; just the journey alone will likely take about six days."

After entering that dark space filled with chaos and whispers, Elis spoke.

"Six days?"

Xu Jingming raised his eyebrows, then proactively spoke:

"Let me handle the scattered abyss demons we encounter along the way—how about that?"

Even if they are merely scattered abyss demons, we cannot waste essence points.

"All of them by you?"

Elis was stunned for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing her purple eyes, but she quickly nodded:

"I have no problem."

She looked toward the others.

"Fine." Rex spoke concisely.

Carlos also smiled: "I have no objections; it'll save us some effort."

"Free labor—why not make use of it?"

Finley sneered sarcastically, but did not object either.

"Thank you."

Xu Jingming paid no mind to Finley's provocation, grinning:

"I only kill demons; the abyss magic stones obtained along the way can all go to you."

This statement left Elis stunned again, her purple eyes deepening with doubt.

I thought Blood Abyss was so eager because he lacked magic stones, but I never expected him to voluntarily give them up?

Why? For points?

But these scattered demons along the way give hardly any points at all.

Full of doubt, but seeing Xu Jingming's calm expression, she didn't press further, only suppressing her questions.

On the subsequent journey, Elis, Carlos, and others witnessed what harvesting efficiency truly meant.

"Pfft!" "Boom—"

The gold-green spear light, like the grim reaper's scythe, flickered in the darkness.

One or several abyss demons were invariably pierced and annihilated instantly!

Xu Jingming moved like lightning, his wind-and-thunder wings vibrating, his speed astonishing.

Often, by the time they sensed the demon's aura, his thunder had already passed ahead, leaving only drifting demonic energy.

He made no stops whatsoever—killing, then immediately pressing forward.

Elis and the others followed behind, quite relaxed.

Finley watched Xu Jingming's clean and efficient strikes, his gaze growing increasingly gloomy.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

When everyone passed through a dark red mist zone permeated with a thick sulfurous breath, the scene before their eyes suddenly changed.

One could see, a hundred kilometers away, an extremely huge nest had appeared.

It was over a thousand meters high, with a diameter exceeding sixty kilometers!

Like a ferocious giant beast crouching on the abyssal earth.

Around the nest's periphery, dense abyssal monsters surged like a tide.

Among them were no few big fellows whose auras reached the high-stage Eternal level.

They roared, forming a monster barrier that made one dread at first sight.

Just looking from afar made one feel their spirit suppressed.

"This is a high-grade demon nest......"

Carlos took a breath, his expression Solemn.

"There are extremely many monsters around the demon nest's periphery.

To be on the safe side, everyone split up and scout the surroundings again.

Confirm whether there are any other hidden dangers or traps.

In one minute, regroup here."

Elise's purple pupils swept over that vast sea of monsters, and she said in a deep voice.

"Good."

Everyone responded in unison, deeply knowing that in the abyss, caution is never excessive.

Xu Jingming also suppressed the impulse to immediately start killing, and nodded.

His purple-red dual pupils swept over that dense monster tide, and golden-green Lei Guang jumped in the depths of his eyes.

These are all mass points and magic stones!

He licked his lips, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Choosing a direction, he began scouting.

Just as Xu Jingming, Elise, and the others acted separately, elsewhere.

"Carlos, Lei Kesi, you two wait!"

Finley sped up, catching up to the departing Carlos and Lei Kesi.

"Hm? What's the matter?"

Carlos stopped his steps, pointed ears twitching slightly, looking at Finley in puzzlement.

Lei Kesi also turned around, silently casting his gaze over.

The habitual arrogant expression on Finley's face converged somewhat, replaced by a trace of gloom.

He looked left and right, lowered his voice and said:

"I want to ask you two for a favor.

During this exploration, find an opportunity to deal with that Xue Yuan!"

"Deal with Xue Yuan?"

The pointed-ear female demon Carlos heard this.

Those narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a playful smile surfacing on her face:

"How come? Finley, are you jealous?"

"Even you can tell?"

Finley's face was so gloomy it almost dripped water.

During these six days.

Elise was always impatient toward him.

But toward that Xue Yuan? Gentle and soft-spoken, even taking the initiative to strike up conversation!

What does that guy count as?

A Virtual Realm demon who popped out from some obscure corner.

Also worthy of being that close with Elise?!

"Of course, anyone with eyes can see it."

Carlos shrugged, pointed ears moving lightly:

"However, Xue Yuan's strength is not weak; that day the leaderboard's Jin Guang soared to the heavens, you saw it too.

Wanting to deal with him, I'm afraid it won't be too simple."

"An SSS3-grade equipment!"

Finley gritted his teeth, a ruthless color flashing in his eyes, "As long as you help me, after it's done, it's yours."

"Not enough."

Carlos shook her head, smile unchanged, "Xue Yuan is an expert who can even suppress Elise; the risk is too great."

"Then SSS1-grade!"

Finley's face grew even gloomier, "I don't have any more than that, Carlos, don't be too greedy."

"Deal." Carlos giggled, agreeing readily.

The demon race's law is the weak are prey to the strong, the strong are revered.

The internal competition within the Blood Demon Palace is inherently cruel and intense.

These so-called heaven's favorites, which one didn't climb up stepping on countless clansmen's bones?

Dealing with a demon not of Blood Demon Palace origin, she fundamentally wouldn't have half a burden in her heart.

"Lei Kesi, an SSS3-tier equipment."

Finley then turned to the silent, mountain-like unicorn demon beside him.

Lei Kesi's massive head nodded slightly, his eyes flickering for a moment, and he spoke in a deep, resonant voice:

"No problem."

His strength was slightly inferior among the few, and the temptation of an SSS3-tier equipment was enough to move him.

As for who the target is, it doesn't matter.

"Very good."

A fierce light flashed in Finley's eyes: "Listen to my orders later, find an opportunity to strike at Blood Abyss!

I want him to remain forever in this abyss!"

"Good." Carlos and Lei Kesi responded at the same time.
