Chapter 66: Two Paths to Uproot the Demon Cave! S-Grade Legendary Equipment!

If not for Lin Yue'er's reminder, Zhou Chu truly would not have remembered that he had previously obtained a C-Grade Sergeant Medal.

Come to think of it, his Military Merit Value had been kept with the Main General, Long Aofei, all this time.

Consequently, Zhou Chu took the box containing the Honor Medal out from his Life Soul Artifact and handed it to that squad member.

That Xiaolong Squad member did not open the box, but the moment he saw the box, his eyes widened, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

An Honor Medal!

Only those who have achieved outstanding merit in battle are qualified to be awarded such an honor.

This Xiaolong Squad member then looked at Zhou Chu in surprise, truly unable to believe that a high school student had actually reaped such an honor in battle.

"Are you really a high school student?" Following that, this Xiaolong Squad member could not help but ask.

Zhou Chu nodded and said, "Yes, from Tianhua No. 1 High School."

As he spoke, the squad member opened the box; inside was indeed a silver, gleaming C-Grade Honor Medal.

A C-Grade Honor Medal!

This meant that the high school student named Zhou Chu before them was already on equal footing with the members of their Xiaolong Squad.

Because, as an elite unit within the Exorcism Army, the minimum requirement to join the Xiaolong Squad was the rank of Sergeant.

Moreover, this was an Honor Medal.

Even for those who held the rank of Sergeant, it was very difficult to obtain such a distinction.

Seeing the look of extreme astonishment on the Xiaolong Squad member's face, Lin Yue'er smiled with a touch of pride and said, "This medal was personally awarded by the Main General; I was there at the time, too."

The tone in her voice was as if she herself had been personally awarded an honor by the Main General.

Hearing Lin Yue'er's words, the Xiaolong Squad member was even more shocked, only then realizing the weight of this Honor Medal.

It had actually been personally conferred by the Main General.

This was a tremendous honor indeed.

Thus, he closed the box and handed it back to Zhou Chu with a look of reverence, while his heart could not help but tremble.

What kind of meritorious service had a high school student performed to be personally decorated by the Main General of the Exorcism Army?

Could it be that he was the newcomer who single-handedly wiped out the No. 69 and No. 55 Demon Caves?

One had to know, there were rumors about this matter within the Exorcism Army as well.

However, there was gossip saying that this newcomer was able to wipe out two Demon Caves at once because he actually had the help of an expert.

As for who this expert was, no one knew.

It was only known that it was an unfathomable female Soul Professional who was unwilling to reveal her whereabouts.

Yet, the scene just now made things even more baffling.

No female Soul Professional had appeared; instead, it was a powerful Calamity demon beast.

And this powerful demon beast had even been completely obedient to him.

The true strength of the high school student before them was hard to predict, but he must have had extraordinary qualities.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chu's thoughts were entirely on his aunt, Chu Shuangshuang.

After a round of treatment by Lin Yue'er, although Chu Shuangshuang remained in a coma, her breathing seemed to have become much steadier.

Her injuries had stabilized, but she still needed to receive more systematic treatment to fully recover.

Just then, at the No. 15 Demon Cave not far away, the Calamity Mist that had been continuously surging outward was gradually receding.

At the same time, no more demon beasts were emerging from within the Demon Cave.

After that Calamity Lord exploded and died, the No. 15 Demon Cave was already in a state of collapse.

On the horizon, a ray of dawn squeezed through the thick clouds and shone down, continuously dispersing the Calamity Mist in the air.

At this moment, the weathered faces of everyone on the scene revealed smiles of pleasant surprise in unison.

"The No. 15 Demon Cave was just wiped out like that?"

"Just because of the appearance of this high school student?"

That squad member had been trapped in doubt and surprise from beginning to end, unable to extricate himself.

And now, seeing the scene of the No. 15 Demon Cave being wiped out, the shock in his heart was even harder to suppress.

"He actually directed an Evil Ghost Demon Beast to use a Purification Stone to destroy the Demon Cave..."

At the same time, at the No. 18 Demon Cave, not far from the No. 15 Demon Cave.

Dozens of Exorcism Army vanguard squad members stood dumbfounded on the battlefield filled with demon beast corpses, gazing at the dissipating Calamity Qi of the Demon Cave ahead, everyone's brain in a state of confusion.

How did the Demon Cave collapse on its own while they were in the middle of fighting?

Could it be that they were too strong? The demon beasts were scared and destroyed the Magic Source Core in the Demon Cave themselves?

You've got to be kidding!

And this joke was a bit too big.

How could a Magic Source Core destroy itself?

At this moment, Zhou Chu received a succession of notifications that demon beasts had been killed.

【Successfully killed "Evil Ghost Minion Ji Boda (B-Grade Main General)", EXP +1000.】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Evil Ghost Minion Ji Boda (B-Grade)".】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *1】

【Successfully killed "Evil Ghost Minion Ji Boying (B-Grade Main General)", EXP +1000.】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Evil Ghost Minion Ji Boying (B-Grade)".】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *1】

Zhou Chu could not help but smile with satisfaction.

The tactic of splitting into two paths was perfect, and the efficiency could be called top-notch.

Before this, Zhou Chu had already arranged for Xina and Xiduo to head to Demon Cave No. 18 to take out the guards protecting the Magic Source Core.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chu himself transformed into Gadi and came to Demon Cave No. 15 alone.

Just now, after successfully killing the Calamity Ghost leader, Zhou Chu had Gadi take the Purification Stone to purify the Magic Source Core in the Demon Cave.

Subsequently, Gadi relied on Void Shuttle to head to Demon Cave No. 18 again, and then destroyed the Magic Source Core there.

It seems his three God-grade servants were not raised in vain; they all excellently completed the tasks he arranged.

Unfortunately, Demon Cave No. 18 only had two B-Grade Calamity Ghost minions, and after the experience was split, the harvest was not that great.

Immediately after, Zhou Chu recalled the three God-grade servants into the Hero Tomb from a distance, and at the same time, two Military Merit Stones were tucked into his pocket.

Only then did Zhou Chu remember that after killing the Calamity Ghost leader, he had obtained an S-Grade piece of equipment.

What Zhou Chu did not expect was that after this damned Calamity Ghost leader was ground into meat paste, it actually dropped the only S-Grade piece of equipment on its body.

As for the material, it was merely an A-Grade Calamity Lord, still a tier lower than a Calamity Hero.

And even if this guy hadn't been ground into meat paste and become Contract Material, Zhou Chu would still have had to find a way to make him die in a mangled state.

Those who dare to harm his closest people must all die without a burial place.

This is Zhou Chu's bottom line.

That S-Grade piece of equipment was actually an accessory-type piece of equipment, but it was an amulet.

【Source of Calamity】 (S-Grade Legendary)

Attribute: Soul Power +200

Special Effect: Soul Power Value recovery speed +500%

Characteristic: Summoning-type skills have no cooldown.

……

Holy crap!

This piece of equipment is truly awesome.

After seeing the attributes of the equipment, Zhou Chu's pupils suddenly constricted.

It is definitely a powerful piece of equipment for a summoning-type Soul Profession.

The Soul Power attribute is increased by 200 points directly.

This is equivalent to the attribute points gained from leveling up 20 times.

With these 200 points of Soul Power, Zhou Chu's Contract Pool has become somewhat broader.

Of course, what makes Zhou Chu feel most excited is that the special effect of this equipment actually possesses a 500% Soul Power Value recovery speed.

Right now, what Zhou Chu needs to worry about most is his Soul Power Value being exhausted.

Moreover, when transforming into Gadi, the two innate skills, Void Shuttle and Endless Slaughter, are both major consumers of Soul Power Value.

Generally speaking, Soul Power Value can automatically recover 10 points per second.

With this piece of equipment, Zhou Chu's Soul Power Value can reach 50 points per second.

Although it looks like a drop in the bucket for Zhou Chu, it is still 5 times faster than before, which is already quite good.

Of course, the most awesome thing is that the final characteristic of this amulet is actually allowing summoning-type skills to have no cooldown.

No wonder the Calamity Lord could continuously cast Corpse Driving Technique earlier; it was because he had this piece of equipment on him.

Zhou Chu could not help but ponder for a moment.

He currently has no skills worth using, except for the Soul Shield that just leveled up to God-grade.
