Chapter 52: Abyssal City

Speaking of which, Mi Nie Ya last time went to Storm City to help lift the siege, then was pursued by the "Storm God General Zeweier", and it's unknown whether she escaped danger.

Feeling a bit curious, Xiao Feng walked toward the outside of the mine tunnel.

In the mine cave, a few imp overseers were loitering; he casually used a minor skill to pick them off one by one, causing no disturbance.

Xing Yun Miao followed behind, occasionally giving him two buffs; basically there was no need for him to take action.

The two arrived at the fence outside the mine tunnel.

This time the fence was actually open; no need to wait, they could go out directly.

Outside the fence was a dungeon, with a few imps patrolling.

Upon spotting Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao, one of the leaders angrily shouted, "Ugly human miners, dare to sneak out!" Then he brandished his whip and launched an attack.

"Lightning Chain!"

Xiao Feng released the skill, a bolt of electricity flew from the tip of his staff.

In the narrow dungeon, Lightning Chain perfectly bounced nine times, instantly killing all the imps.

From noise to silence, the whole process took less than two seconds.

"Last time I only came this far; going further out, I didn't know what the situation was." Xiao Feng explained the situation.

"Let's go take a look." Xing Yun Miao said.

The dungeon had many cells; Xiao Feng deliberately checked each one, thinking there might be humans like Lamuste imprisoned.

As it turned out, it was completely empty; not a single person.

The two pushed open the next door and continued walking outward.

Further out, it was no longer a narrow, rugged mine tunnel, but turned into a flat corridor passageway.

Xiao Feng equipped himself with an Earth Elemental Shield and led the way.

Last time, that Lord Lamaka entered the dungeon through this corridor; he didn't want to run headfirst into a boss and be instantly killed due to his own carelessness.

Walking down the corridor for several dozen steps, ahead there were stairs extending upward.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard the "zili zili" sound of a tentacle monster moving.

At the same time came the conversation of abyssal monsters.

"Captain Jijil, you've arrived; do you have any orders?"

"I am acting on Lord Lamaka's orders to capture ten humans and send them to Princess Mi Nie Ya's residence."

"Ah, is the princess preparing for her coming-of-age ceremony? But why does she choose humans, instead of…"

"Pah! Nonsense! The princess isn't as petty as you; she's wounded and needs to absorb human blood and vital energy to heal."

"Um, okay…… wait! The princess actually got wounded? She's the daughter of the great Bloodthirsty Demon God; who would dare hurt her?"

"I'm not sure about that; I heard she was injured by a human god-general, and the Demon God himself personally intervened to rescue her."

"Hiss! The great Bloodthirsty Demon God himself actually took action! The last time was three thousand years ago!"

"Alright, enough talk; I'm going to capture people—you few, come help escort."

Then footsteps gradually approached—some walking on feet, others the sliding sounds of tentacle monsters.

Xiao Feng listened to these conversations, thoughtful.

Just moments ago he had been thinking about Mi Nie Ya's affairs, never expecting to overhear this.

It seems Mi Nie Ya, even after leaving Storm City, still couldn't escape the pursuit of Storm God General Zeweier, narrowly avoiding harm.

Thanks to the Bloodthirsty Demon God personally intervening, she was saved.

Given the Bloodthirsty Demon God's power to slay the War God, dealing with a god-general is certainly effortless.

Only, I don't know how Mi Nie Ya's injuries are; she actually needs to absorb human blood and vital energy to recover…

Footsteps drew near, and several abyssal creatures appeared ahead in the corridor.

"Oh no, humans have sneaked out!"

The leading tentacle monster saw Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao, and hurriedly said, "Quick, seize them!"

"Yes, captain!" the remaining minions replied in unison, raising their weapons and charging forward.

Xiao Feng took a moment to glance at the leader's stats.

【Abyssal Prison Guard Captain — Jijil (Rare Leader)】

Level: 120

HP: 178400/178400

(Target level too high, unable to obtain more data)

"Too weak."

A single Lightning Chain shot out from the staff.

In the narrow passage, a 3-meter bounce range was fully sufficient to achieve maximum effect.

Lightning Chain bounced several times, and several abyssal creatures collapsed on the spot, some turning directly to ash.

"Captain!"

"Oh no! A powerful human has intruded!"

"Quickly report to Lord Lamaka!"

Behind the corridor, there were still several abyssal creatures that hadn't come over.

They heard the commotion and immediately glanced this way.

Seeing their companions and superiors instantly killed, they panicked, shouted loudly, and ran off to report.

"Oh no, a minion leaked the news; later we might be surrounded!" Xing Yun Miao looked on, feeling somewhat anxious.

Xiao Feng said indifferently, "It's fine; as long as it's not a mythic-level boss, I can handle however many come."

While speaking, he picked up the items dropped by Jijil and other abyssal creatures, then continued onward.

Not long after walking out of the corridor, they arrived at a door.

This door was very sturdy, made of stone, extremely heavy.

Xiao Feng tried pushing it, but it didn't budge at all.

Xing Yun Miao saw this and came forward to help.

However, the two magic-based professions had pitifully little strength, and still couldn't move the stone door an inch.

"What should we do?" Xing Yun Miao frowned.

"Let me try to see if I can blast it open……"

Xiao Feng stepped back a few paces, silently chanted the fireball technique, and released a super-large fireball with a diameter of 1 meter.

Boom!!

The fireball flew out, struck the stone door, and triggered a violent explosion.

After the firelight faded, the door had turned into rubble scattered on the ground.

Xiao Feng looked out the door and saw that outside was a street, where many deep abyss creatures wielding weapons stood ready.

"Tsk tsk, so much experience." He rejoiced, put on a new earth elemental shield for himself, had Xing Yun Miao step back a few paces, and walked toward the doorway.

Outside the stone door it seemed like night, with a bright white moon hanging in the sky.

This "moon" was especially bright, illuminating everything on the ground clearly.

Under the moonlight, a stone-built deep abyss city stood on the mountainside; its scale was not as huge as Stormwind City, and even smaller than a level‑4 city, Fury Wind City.

The city's streets crisscrossed; one of the widest was nearly 10 meters wide, running from the city's exit all the way to the foot of the mountain behind the city.

At that moment, Xiao Feng was walking out of a cave at the mountain's base onto the main street.

"Bold human! How dare you intrude into the Deep Abyss World!"

"In the name of the Bloody Great Demon God and Lord Lamaka, you are under arrest!"

"Hand over your weapons and surrender, or we'll drown you in our spit!"

Dozens of deep abyss creatures above level 100 gathered on the street, shouting loudly.

The number of deep abyss creatures was still increasing, with many deep abyss soldiers rushing here.

Xiao Feng didn't act immediately; instead, he waited for the monsters to gather, planning to accumulate more before using the gale technique to sweep them away.

On the contrary, the deep abyss creatures, seeing that Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao were low level, couldn't help but strike first.

"Catch him! This male human is especially ugly; the princess will surely like him!"

"No, we can't offer him to the princess! We have to beat him to death!"

"Yes, beat him to death! This kind of human is the worst—ugly and still trying to hit on our deep abyss demonesses, utterly despicable! Take him down!"

A gang of ugly monsters screamed and launched a charge.
