Chapter 24: I Came to Find My Fiancé

【Calamity Ring】 (Epic-grade)

Attribute: Soul Power +100

Special Effect: 【Ghost Form: After activation, one can transform into a ghost with an invisibility effect. While in ghost state, one can be immune to all physical attacks. Duration: 1 hour.】

Trait: 【Calamity Aura: After activation, one can use Calamity Qi to mask one's own aura. Duration: 1 hour.】

……

An Epic-quality accessory ring, with 100 Soul Power as a base.

Quite good.

Furthermore, the special effect allows the wearer to turn into a ghost that possesses an invisibility effect and can be immune to physical attacks.

For Zhou Chu, who does not have much self-preservation ability, this is also extremely useful.

To be precise, it can be called a timely help.

Although the duration is only one hour, within this period, one can completely accomplish many things.

Keeping Xina, this god-level servant, by his side at all times really feels a bit timid.

More importantly, Zhou Chu can also use Calamity Aura to cover and disguise himself.

To put it bluntly, he can temporarily use Calamity Qi to disguise himself as someone from the Calamity Legion.

In this way, he will not be attacked by the monsters in the Calamity Land.

Absolutely good stuff.

Zhou Chu could not help but feel a joy in his heart, and he hurriedly put on the ring.

To tell the truth, Zhou Chu has the intention to use the next opportunity for Divine Fusion on this ring.

Because, whether it is Ghost Form or Calamity Aura, both are very rare.

Relying on these two effects, no matter how dangerous the reconnaissance mission is, Zhou Chu can easily complete it alone.

After all, it is just too difficult to obtain a high-quality material.

And the opportunities for Divine Fusion are also very limited; there is no need to just stare at the one thing of Contract Material.

When seeing equipment with good effects, one can also use it.

The next opportunity for Divine Fusion still requires leveling up two more times.

Currently, he can only use it for now.

However, having just heard the words of this Calamity leader, Zhou Chu then realized what exactly happened in the Hero-level Dungeon before.

So it turns out Xina was a spy sent by the Calamity Legion to secretly infiltrate the Hero-level Dungeon.

She was preparing to install the Magic Source Core in the Copy and turn the Dungeon Hall of Tianhua City into a Demon Cave.

Recalling it now, Zhou Chu felt lingering fear mixed with relief.

If he had not cleared the Copy and subdued Xina, perhaps not long after, Tianhua City would have become a slaughterhouse for the Calamity Legion.

Unexpectedly, by a stroke of luck, Zhou Chu's seemingly excessive actions actually averted a disaster.

It is quite a coincidence that Zhou Chu came to the 69th Demon Cave this time while heading to the Calamity Front.

Only then did he learn the full story of the whole matter.

It really was dangerous, to say the least.

Zhou Chu could not help but wipe the cold sweat seeping from his forehead, hesitating for a moment whether he should report this matter.

Everything happens for a reason.

If it happens once, it will happen a second time.

Although the crisis in Tianhua City has been tided over this time, perhaps in the Novice Dungeons of other cities, there are still hidden moles of the Calamity Legion like Xina.

After all, not every city's Hero-level Dungeon will be cleared.

After careful consideration, Zhou Chu still felt it was better to find an opportunity to report this matter to prevent the Novice Dungeons of other cities from being invaded as well.

The Calamity Legion's infiltration this time was truly too suspicious and too covert.

Logically speaking, the Novice Dungeons in cities are generally constructed by the energy of Soul Power Crystals.

The higher the difficulty of the Copy, the higher the quality of the Soul Power Crystal required, and the larger the volume.

But what exactly was the reason that allowed the Calamity Legion's spy to find a loophole? This is unknown.

Zhou Chu did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out the Calamity Purification Stone and placed it next to the Magic Source Core.

Sensing the Calamity Aura, the Purification Stone immediately burst into dazzling light, continuously dispelling and absorbing the Calamity Aura on the Magic Source Core.

Under the powerful purification ability of the Calamity Purification Stone, the energy in that Magic Source Core was absorbed completely, turning it into a piece of black charcoal.

And that Calamity Purification Stone also turned into a black sphere at this time due to absorbing too much Calamity Qi.

This thing is the evidence proving that the Demon Cave has been destroyed.

Every Purification Stone filled with Calamity Qi can be exchanged for military merit when taken back.

This is all money and honor.

Zhou Chu then put the Purification Stone into his backpack.

With the destruction of the 69th Demon Cave, the fog here began to gradually dissipate, and the thin air also became abundant.

What was originally a matter that would take a long time to completely finish, Zhou Chu finished in less than two hours.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the station of Scout Team 1 of the Exorcism Army.

Because the communication signal with Zhou Chu was interrupted, Jia Mengshan's heart instantly turned cold.

Even for any scout team under his command, there is no certainty of victory when facing an A-Grade monster.

To destroy a Demon Cave, it must require two or more teams to coordinate their operations to have a chance of winning.

And Zhou Chu is just a newcomer who bound an F-rank Soul Profession; entering the 69th Demon Cave alone and encountering that powerful A-Grade monster, it must be more ominous than auspicious.

This child had been in Scout Team 1 for no more than two hours before losing his life.

It is necessary to contact Zhou Chu's family immediately.

At this moment, a monitor looked at the surveillance screen with a surprised expression and shouted in pleasant surprise: "Number 69, it's the 69th Demon Cave, it has been destroyed!"

Jia Mengshan felt a jolt in his heart and hurried over to the surveillance screen.

When he saw the area marked as number 69 flashing with a green ring of light, he was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly try to contact Zhou Chu and see if he can be reached now."

The monitor hurriedly tried to call Zhou Chu's walkie-talkie again.

However, it was still impossible to connect with Zhou Chu.

At the same time, no data regarding Zhou Chu had been transmitted back since the signal was cut off just a moment ago.

This kid traded his own life for a Demon Cave; he can be considered to have died for a worthy cause.

There will also be a place for him on the future list of martyrs.

Jia Mengshan could not help but sigh, then ordered his subordinates to contact Zhou Chu's family to inform them of the situation.

A long pain is worse than a short one.

From the moment he decided to join the Exorcism Army, his family should have been prepared for this.

Just then, Jia Mengshan received news that the last batch of new recruits for the day had arrived.

Jia Mengshan left the monitoring room and saw that several new recruits had already gotten off the bus.

He immediately took an introduction letter handed to him by a clerk, and after reading it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Taking a few steps to reach the new recruits, Jia Mengshan looked at the only girl in the group and said: "He Muxue, a third-year student at Tianhua No. 1 High School, S-rank Soul Profession Frost Archer?"

After the girl scanned the surroundings of the base, she nodded: "Yes."

Jia Mengshan waved the introduction letter in his hand and said: "I don't think you are really here to join the Exorcism Army."

"Yes," He Muxue did not deny it.

"Then, student, please tell me, what exactly is your purpose for coming here?" Jia Mengshan asked again.

"I've come to find my fiancé!" He Muxue said bluntly.
