Chapter 154: Block the News, Can't Let Lin Zhenzi Know

Under Lin Caier's superb acting, the Shadow Demon was fooled, its body dead and soul extinguished.

When the leading Abyss Shadow Demon died, the remaining Abyss Demons fell into despair.

They were successively crushed amid wailing cries.

The Skeleton Battle gave them no chance to breathe, directly unleashing Rage Power, chopping them all into meat paste.

The Military Badge kept flashing, and Military Merit kept increasing.

In this round of combat, Jiang Chen and Lin Caier each earned 1,200 points of Military Merit.

Among them, the Abyss Shadow Demon gave the highest merit, worth 1,000 points, split 500 each.

The other 14 demons were all below Level 40.

Each demon provided 100 points of merit, split evenly, giving each 50 points.

Jiang Chen's merit again surpassed 3,000 points, while Lin Caier's reached 1,800.

In addition, they obtained a Demon Crystal.

This was also one of Hong Jishi's mission requirements.

They came here to eliminate Abyss Demons and obtain the Demon Crystal.

Hong Jishi seemed to have long anticipated Jiang Chen would face demons above Level 40, so he issued this task in advance.

Lin Caier laughed and suggested, "In the future we can do it like this: I pretend to be terrified, lure them down, then we kill them together, so they can't escape."

This method does work, but it isn't a universal solution.

Jiang Chen added, "The only trouble is if we encounter demons with ranged attack abilities; there are many demon types, some with ranged capabilities. If we meet such demons, they will hide in the high sky and release skills, making them hard to handle; demons are not beasts, they"

"possess intelligence, and if the battle cannot be won, they will flee."

Lin Caier nodded, indicating understanding.

Jiang Chen added, "Hopefully when we reach Level 30 we can learn some corresponding skills, which might improve the situation."

His experience is already close to Level 27, and the upgrade is not far off.

When he reaches Level 30, he will use a Beginner Skill Scroll to learn new skills.

That might help their efficiency.

In Shenlong University's Hong Shen Courtyard, Li Xueru stared dumbfounded at Hong Jishi.

Li Xueru usually remains composed, but at this moment rarely showed such an expression.

Li Xueru asked, puzzled, "Are you crazy?"

Hong Jishi chuckled lightly, "I'm not crazy. I just want to see where this kid's limit lies. The Tyrant Desert large-scale dungeon already doesn't trouble him; instead it gave him many points. The Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost Instance, Hell-level difficulty, he can complete alone. Tens of thousands of Hell Demon Dogs aren't a problem for him. I guess this Elemental Secret Realm won't be too hard for him either."

Li Xueru frowned, "That's different. The difficulty of the Elemental Secret Realm is far higher than those dungeons; the Elemental Queen's attributes match a Level 40 high-level demon, and her skills are extremely powerful. You should also know that although Jiang Chen has many Skeletons, the Elemental Queen is hardly scared of mass attacks."

Hong Jishi smiled and added, "I understand the Elemental Queen's strength, but I have full confidence in Jiang Chen. Let's wait and see."

Hong Jishi, untroubled, said, "If you can't beat him, he can still run away, right? Occasionally taking a loss is fine; at least it reveals this kid's limit."

"there."

"If we don't let him take a loss, it would make me look useless."

"Even if he dies it's okay, he has a Hall of Heroic Souls imprint, so he won't truly die."

"Moreover, it's not just the Elemental Secret Realm; I also sent him to Battlefield No. 3, to kill demons at the Abyss Boundary, and to the Abyss Outpost Instance there; I had him run through those as well."

Li Xueru stared at Hong Jishi, seeing his indifferent demeanor.

He suddenly laughed, "Did you forget something?"

"What is it?"

Hong Jishi didn't think he had forgotten anything.

"Lin Laotou's granddaughter is with Jiang Chen; she didn't leave a Hall of Heroic Souls imprint, so if she dies…"

"Lin Laotou would probably go all out against you!"

Bang!

Hong Jishi slapped his thigh hard, "Damn, I forgot that."

"What to do then? I'll go find them and bring them back."

Seeing Hong Jishi's slip, Li Xueru laughed even more, "Now you're scared? It should be fine though; although Cai Er didn't leave a Hall of Heroic Souls imprint, Lin Laotou probably cast a soul‑protecting curse on her."

Hearing the words "soul‑protecting curse," Hong Jishi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why didn't you say so earlier."

"I'm just telling you, next time be more careful and thorough."

Li Xueru whispered, then closed his eyes again.

Hong Jishi, now completely relaxed, picked up a teacup, "That should be fine; even if you encounter high‑level demons at the Abyss Boundary, at worst you'll just die and come back."

"What do you mean 'die and come back'?"

A voice suddenly rang out as Lin Zhenzi entered, plopping down, "What do you mean 'die and come back'?"

Hong Jishi quickly shook his head, "Nothing, you misheard."

This matter cannot be spoken

, absolutely cannot tell Lin Laotou.

Otherwise his courtyard would almost certainly be lost.

Lin Zhenzi asked, "Where did you send that stinky kid for the mission?"

He was asking about Jiang Chen, but Lin Zhenzi actually wanted to know where Lin Caier went.

Hong Jishi said, "He went to the Alien Battlefield. Rest assured, with Jiang Chen there, your precious granddaughter will be fine; besides, you also cast a soul‑protecting curse, so she won't die."

Lin Zhenzi snorted coldly, "If my granddaughter gets into any trouble, I'll be the first to settle the score with you."

Hong Jishi laughed along, "Don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen."

He didn't dare tell Lin Zhenzi the true whereabouts of Jiang Chen and Lin Caier.

Li Xueru closed his eyes to nurture his spirit, his mouth corners twitched slightly, suppressing a laugh with great effort.

Battlefield No. 3, Abyss Boundary.

The mist suddenly cleared, and a Black Portal appeared.

From behind the portal, pairs of scarlet eyes emerged.

Abyss Energy entered Battlefield No. 3 unimpeded.

Abyss Energy scattered across Battlefield No. 3, and an Abyss Man‑eating Monster instantly appeared on the field.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Man‑eating Monsters appeared in every corner of Battlefield No. 3.

The scarlet‑eyed master burst from the Black Portal, and a single Demon descended.

In an instant, a full twenty Demons appeared on Battlefield No. 3.

"Hahaha, Human World, this Demon has arrived!"

"The legendary fresh human flesh, this Demon comes to taste it!"

"Human Race, clean your throats and wait!"

The Demons emitted a sharp, deafening laugh.

Massive spell attacks rained down, overwhelming them.

The Abyss Demons were stunned, each letting out a roar.

"Who!"

"Which fool dares to ambush this Demon!"

"Wow! It hurts, this Demon— I will kill you."

"You are doomed!"

With a buzz, Red Light descended.

Red Shackles appeared above all the Demons' heads.

The roars abruptly ceased.

The Skeleton Warrior followed, leapt high, and landed on the Demons.

With seven arms and eight legs, it clutched the Demons, preventing their escape.

After falling under a Curse, these Demons had already lost any chance to flee.

The Skeleton Warrior's Blade struck them, flesh and blood splattered, and they screamed incessantly.

Wings were severed, limbs cut off, and Demon blood gushed like a fountain.

The Alien Battlefield's black ground grew even deeper.

At this moment, several Abyss Man‑eating Monster corpses were thrown, landing atop the Abyss Demons.

At this moment, several corpses of Abyss Man-eating Monsters were thrown over, landing on the Abyss Demon's head.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Jiang Chen, hovering in the air, detonated the Abyss Man‑eating Monster's corpse.

Although the Abyss Man‑eating Monster's level and attributes are lower than those of the Abyss Demon, its vitality is not weak.

The Corpse Explosion amplified thirtyfold, attacking with 600% of the Abyss Man‑eating Monster's vitality.

One hit was manageable; these Demons might still hold up.

But after several consecutive Explosion attacks, the Abyss Demons also could not endure.

【Kill Level 38 th Abyss Wolf Demon, Experience +380000, Military Merit +50】

【Obtain Demon Essence Blood】

【Kill Level 37 Abyssal Serpent Demon Demon, Experience +370000, Military Merit +50】

【Obtain Demon Essence Blood】

After the Explosion, this batch of Abyss Demons that had just entered Battlefield No. 3 died beyond death.

They didn't even have a chance to take off and flee; they died at the fastest speed in history.

Who made them so unlucky, appearing right before Jiang Chen.

Instantly slaying twenty Abyss Demons, Jiang Chen and Lin Caier'er each earned 1000 Military Merit points.

"This is the Spatial Tunnel between the Abyss and the Human Race."

Lin Caier'er stared curiously at the Spatial Tunnel dozens of meters away.

The dark portal, about ten meters high, flickered with light black as night, occasionally struck by Lightning.

The space around the portal warped, rippling like water.

It was Jiang Chen's first time seeing a Spatial Tunnel with his own eyes.

The Abyss World and Human World collided and made contact.

Apart from specific tunnels, occasional temporary passages also form naturally.

These temporary passages are usually short‑lived, lasting only minutes or even less.

Moreover, the passages are fragile, only allowing Demons of modest strength to pass.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier'er were equally curious about the Spatial Tunnel; beyond it lies the Abyss World.

Abyss Energy continuously flows from the Spatial Tunnel into the Alien Battlefield, becoming a single Abyss Man‑eating Monster.

"Huh, another Demon is about to emerge."

Pairs of scarlet eyes appeared again inside the Spatial Tunnel.

Jiang Chen felt a surge, and the Skeleton Warrior instantly threw a Demon corpse into the Spatial Tunnel.

In the Spatial Tunnel, pairs of crimson eyes appeared again.

Jiang Chen felt a stir in his heart, and the Skeleton Warrior instantly threw a Demon corpse toward the Spatial Tunnel.

At the instant the corpse entered the Spatial Tunnel, Jiang Chen activated the Skill.

With a booming Explosion, the entire Spatial Tunnel shook violently for a moment.

【Kill th Abyss Wolf Demon, Experience +380000, Military Merit +50】

【Kill Level 37 Abyssal Serpent Demon Demon, Experience +370000, Military Merit +50】

【Kill Level 36 Abyssal Dog Demon, Experience +360000, Military Merit +50】

The harvest was plentiful!
