Chapter 231: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger, Deeply Unfathomable

If you can defeat a Level 50 Abyss Demon, that means you are qualified to walk in the Ancient Battlefield.

In the Upper Space of the Ancient Battlefield, monster levels range from Level 35 to Level 65, and any monster above Level 65 is a BOSS.

As long as you don't provoke high‑level monsters and stay cautious, a Level 50 Abyss Demon can be taken down by Human Professionals and Dragon Race Professionals.

However, acting alone may not be safe, especially for the Human Race.

A Level 50 human cannot fly, unlike Abyss Demons and the Dragon Race, which can take to the air to avoid danger.

Jiang Chen found a spot to rekindle a fire and grill meat, after all he was hungry and needed to fill his stomach.

Lin Tian Ce and the others kept a kilometer's distance while following, because Primordial Runes are extremely precious and they will not give up easily.

This time, luckily no one came to disturb Jiang Chen, and he could finally enjoy a meal in peace.

He also glanced at the dry rations in his storage space, realizing there might be no time left to enjoy the barbecue.

Just as he was about to stand up, the ground suddenly trembled.

Jiang Chen stood on a small hill and saw a horde of monsters charging toward him, of all shapes and colors.

He used Detection Technique to scan and found the monsters' levels ranged from Level 37 to Level 43, with none exceeding Level 45.

Hundreds of monsters ran wildly, heading straight for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen wondered, "Could it be that the monsters of the Ancient Battlefield also vie for Primordial Runes?"

Jiang Chen frowned, because Hong Jishi seemed not to have mentioned this.

As the monster horde drew nearer, Jiang Chen saw an unusually peculiar Abyss Demon ahead of the crowd.

This Abyss Demon is somewhat not

ordinary.

Usually the Abyss Demons Jiang Chen encounters are grotesquely deformed and hideously ugly.

But this Abyss Demon possesses a delicate face resembling that of the Human Race, almost a beauty.

Her ears are slightly pointed, and her skin is a bit dark.

Her figure is also curvily voluptuous.

A long tail sways behind her in the wind, adding an exotic charm.

When Jiang Chen saw her, she also saw Jiang Chen.

She unexpectedly let out a coquettish laugh.

The giggle carried far and far, a pleasant, captivating sound that moved the soul.

Bone Armor flickered at that moment.

Within the giggle was an undercurrent of aggression.

Detection Technique launched.

"Abyss Succubus"

"Level: 50"

"Strength: 20000"

"Agility: 20000"

"Spirit: 50000"

"Constitution: 20000"

"Skill: Charm, Spirit Shock"

"Trait: Charm controls lifeforms below five levels lower than itself; ineffective against bosses or leaders."

Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart; it was an Abyss Succubus.

Dou Sansi, who was once one of the Empire Twelve Councilors of the Shenlong Empire, seems to have been controlled by the Enchantress Demon King.

It seems the monsters below are also controlled by it.

No wonder the monsters top out at Level 45, because a Succubus can only control lifeforms five levels lower than itself.

The coquettish laugh rang again, this time closer and more powerful.

And it is targeted.

The Succubus preened in the air, facing Jiang Chen.

Bone Armor glittered, blocking all attacks.

Jiang Chen was unaffected.

To come without returning is impolite.

Jiang Chen pointed his fingertip, and White Light flashed.

Skill: Bone Fang!

One thousand two hundred pale fangs whistled away.

Bone Fang, like Soul Burn,

its skill power largely depends on the strength of Spiritual Power.

Jiang Chen's Spiritual Power has surged from 7,000 to 22,000, a three‑fold increase.

The skill's power has also risen dramatically.

Bone Fang's speed and penetration now far exceed those of before.

In an instant it covered over a hundred meters to appear before the Abyss Succubus.

The Abyss Succubus let out a panicked scream and darted away.

It flew through the air, extremely agile.

But Bone Fang was too fast; it could not dodge all of them.

Three Bone Fangs pierced its body at once, and thick black blood gushed from the wounds.

It was so frightened that it flew very high, daring not to descend.

"I will kill you!"

White Light reappears.

Jiang Chen points at it, as if hunting a bird.

Bone Fang strikes out repeatedly.

The Succubus is frightened and flutters wildly in the air.

Lin Tian Ce and the others, a kilometer away, stare dumbfounded.

"Is that an Abyss Succubus flying in the sky?"

"It's definitely a Succubus, but from what I see, it looks like it's hunting a bird."

"What skill is this? It looks so powerful."

"I've never seen anything that can scare a Succubus like this; it must be formidable."

"The Succubus itself isn't strong; its charm is, along with the hordes of monsters it brings."

The tremor of the earth reaches the place where they stand.

Each of them pales dramatically.

"Monsters are coming, in great numbers."

"Now he's in big trouble."

The monsters indeed arrive, charging toward the hillside where Jiang Chen stands.

A Lich General appears beside Jiang Chen.

Just a single Lich General is enough.

Jiang Chen never intended to reveal his full power.

There are still over nine days left; he'll proceed bit by bit.

The Undead Legion also appears together with the Lich General.

Skeleton

Skeleton Warriors rush down the hillside, proactively confronting the monsters.

Skeleton Mages have already begun to focus fire.

Red Light fills the sky.

Skill: Damage Curse!

A blood‑red sword appears above every monster's head.

To Jiang Chen, the numbers are meaningless.

After Jiang Chen casts a curse, he continues to unleash Bone Fang at the Succubus.

Hunting!

The Abyss Succubus shrieks in fury, yet finds Jiang Chen helpless.

It lacks strong offensive power; aside from a Spirit Shock skill, its greatest strength is charm.

Charm has no effect on Jiang Chen, and the Spirit Shock is out of range.

Fortunately, the subordinates he controls have arrived.

"Go die!"

The Abyss Succubus roars angrily, its voice coming out soft, almost like a whine.

It makes listeners involuntarily feel tender.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen's heart is as hard as iron; he remains unmoved.

Skeleton Warriors meet the monsters charging at the front.

The Lich General's staff pauses, granting a status to all skeletons.

Skeleton Warriors erupt with skills.

Skeleton Mages also release their skills simultaneously.

Point‑kill!

The monsters at the front have no time to react and are instantly slain.

Boom!

A deafening roar.

The earth shakes violently for a moment.

Flying in the air, the Abyss Succubus is startled by a huge jump.

Looking down, it's a massive undead surge.

What the hell is this!

Why have most of the monsters I control died, leaving only a few.

Then two more thunderous sounds follow.

The remaining monsters also all perish.

The Abyss Succubus looks at Jiang Chen with terror.

"Who on earth are you..."

Jiang Chen smiles faintly, "Human Professional."

The power of Bone Fang is highly satisfactory.

After Spiritual Power surges, Bone Fang's power indeed rises dramatically, almost doubling.

Having hunted enough birds, he can now try Soul Burn.

The Abyss Succubus saw Jiang Chen's expression and sensed something amiss.

It let out a scream, turned, and fled.

"You can't escape!"

Flame burned in the palm.

A tiny spark suddenly landed on the Abyss Succubus's head.

Unbearable agony shot straight to its soul.

The succubus screamed, nearly falling from the air.

It endured the excruciating pain, dared not look back, and flew away at the fastest speed of its life.

Satisfaction flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes; the effect was excellent.

Another Soul Burn.

The Abyss Succubus shrieked again.

It could be seen trembling all over, yet it dared not linger at all.

Stopping would no longer be a matter of pain, but of death.

It surged a kilometer in one breath, escaped Jiang Chen's skill range, and then let out a slight sigh of relief.

"This person is terrifying!"

The succubus thought in its heart, firmly imprinting Jiang Chen in its memory.

Clearly only Level 30, killing it was as easy as slaying a chicken.

The dozens of monsters it had painstakingly controlled were dealt with in a few blows.

Those hundreds of Skeletons, with terrifying Group Attack Skill...

"No, I must report this to Demon King Sir."

"This Human Race is too frightening; we must be careful!"

The succubus fled farther and farther, disappearing on the horizon.

Jiang Chen sighed; if it doesn't come down, there's nothing he can do with it.

If only it could fly.

Recalling the Undead Legion, Jiang Chen, with two small Skeletons, continued toward the center of the Ancient Battlefield.

The location of Primordial Space is unclear; after ten days, it will know.

At that time, the Primordial Rune will point the way.

He seeks the Divine Selection Secret Realm in the Central Area to obtain Divinity.

Hong Jishi once said, the earlier one obtains

the effect is best.

Now experience has already reached 45%, and if monster hunting continues, perhaps by the time reaching the Central Area, a level-up will be possible.

Moreover, within the Central Area, the whereabouts of the Divine Selection Secret Realm must also be sought.

How much time it will actually take, Jiang Chen himself does not know.

Having arrived at the Ancient Battlefield only a few days ago, many changes have already emerged.

The original goal was the Divine Selection Secret Realm and the "Demon Dragon Hall" Instance.

Now there is an additional new target: Primordial Space.

Bathed in blood‑red light, Jiang Chen strode forward, utterly unafraid.

Following Jiang Chen, Lin Tian Ce and others arrived at the small hill where Jiang Chen had once stood.

They saw the densely packed monster corpses below the hill.

"How did he manage that..."

"Unimaginable."

"Me too."

"This battle, at most five minutes."

"Team Leader, you said if we take over, can we do it?"

Lin Tian Ce's mouth twitched twice, "Do it? No way."

Even if we could kill these monsters, at least a great battle would be required.

Add the succubus still in the air, and it would take at least half an hour.

Lin Tian Ce is confident in his team's combat power, yet he will not be blindly overconfident.

On the Ancient Battlefield, blind confidence is a death sentence.

At that moment someone asked, "Team Leader, we didn't see the Soul‑Eating Insect King in the Soul‑eating Worm Territory before; do you think..."

Lin Tian Ce was startled, his expression unpredictable; now recalling, that possibility indeed exists.

If even the Soul‑Eating Insect King can be slain, then Jiang Chen's true strength...

"That's playing the pig to eat the tiger."

"This guy is simply unfathomable..."

One can imagine the fate awaiting those who chase after the Primordial Rune.
