Probing and Assault

Yang Jian summoned Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song from his pet space.

Bamboo Leaf's panda face was taut, looking deeply aggrieved.

He looked up at the Abyss's sky.

Then he looked at the Imp Valley not far away.

"Is this the aura of the Abyss?"

Yang Jian was startled.

"Uh... to be precise, it should be the aura of an Imp, a type of Abyssal Monster."

Bamboo Leaf's aggrieved expression was almost impossible to maintain.

Big Brother!

I'm here mourning and getting fired up!

Can't you wait until I've looked fierce before speaking?

Yang Jian noticed Bamboo Leaf's displeasure.

He stopped talking.

As for Mo Song... he truly lived up to being an existence rejected by the Tian Yao Realm.

Yang Jian suddenly realized.

After his wolf-kin little brother entered the Abyss, his strength was actually enhanced by the Abyssal energy...

Even normal Abyssal Monsters didn't get this treatment here!

But Mo Song did!

Mo Song evidently also noticed his special condition.

He didn't make a sound, just rolled his eyes like a dog and secretly glanced at Yang Jian... Of course, Yang Jian pretended not to know!

Once all three had adapted to the environment of the Abyss, they officially began their deployment.

In a valley far from Imp Valley, a short, sharp wolf howl rang out urgently.

The sound traveled far, then abruptly ceased.

"Will this work?"

Yang Jian had never dealt with Abyssal Monsters before.

But Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song insisted it would be fine, even though their knowledge of Abyssal Monsters was purely hearsay!

Every time Yang Jian thought he was strong enough, there were always those who didn't know their place who would jump out and slap him in the face.

Like here.

Yang Jian felt that with his strength, he could easily solo these few hundred Imps.

Unfortunately, Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song both advised their overconfident boss to calm down.

It wasn't that he couldn't win, but in the Abyss, it was truly inadvisable to get injured... The rules here were completely different from the New World's playground rules.

In the Abyss, if you can avoid losing status, then don't lose status!

Yang Jian thought about it and agreed!

Having just arrived in the Abyss, even if those fiery Imps looked 'weak', Yang Jian shouldn't look down on them.

What if they suddenly had a power surge?

The Imp Valley in the distance bore the task of guarding the Abyss Gate.

However, there were no high-ranking demons stationed there, nor any overseers or supervisors.

Only some demon races just passing the time, forced to stay far away from the Abyss Gate.

Anyway, without a god's intervention, the other side couldn't damage the Abyss Gate.

If a god were to intervene, the difference between dying at the hands of their god and dying at the hands of their own people wouldn't be significant.

So, the Abyssal Demons retreated almost three hundred miles.

They had already retreated this far; if you still came to provoke them, that was going too far!

Less than two minutes later, a small squad of Imps walked over, leading two Hellhounds.

A team of ten.

Their vigilance was still quite strong.

Yang Jian hid behind a giant rock, looking down at the Imp squad in the distance.

Creatures without wings needed to reach level 80, the peak of their second advancement, before they could fly on their own.

Therefore, this squad of level 60 Imps could only move on land.

Before reaching the narrowest part of the valley, the leading Imp waved his hand, stopping his subordinates.

Over the years, although there hadn't been any major wars, assassinations and encirclements from both sides had been frequent.

Given such a suitable terrain for an ambush, the Imp captain would rather die than enter!

Either call in the main force, or pretend not to know and let the opponent pass?

After three seconds of thought, the Imp captain decided to go home and sleep!

A few hundred yuan a month, why risk his life?

Unfortunately, having come here, he couldn't leave!

Bamboo Leaf emerged from behind them.

Shedding his cute expression, a fierce aura radiated from him.

The Shi Tie Shou's (Iron-Eating Beast) majesty erupted everywhere at this moment!

The members of this Imp squad recognized the Iron-Eating Beast race.

But they couldn't understand... how could a mere fourth-tier Iron-Eating Beast be so arrogant?

For a moment, they were all intimidated by Bamboo Leaf.

They looked at each other, at a loss... With each step Bamboo Leaf took, his body grew larger.

By the time he was dozens of meters away from the Imp squad, he was already the size of a tank!

"This panda isn't right..."

One Imp shouted as if facing a formidable enemy.

Nonsense, even a blind person could tell!

"Kill him!"

The Imp leader didn't want to wait any longer.

He didn't want to risk this thing having some other trick up its sleeve.

Getting rid of the opponent quickly was the correct approach!

His words seemed to signal the start of the battle.

A volley of arrows came from behind!

The sudden attack combined with the dense arrow rain caught the Imp squad off guard!

The Imp captain was unsure how many opponents there were.

He simply decided to break through, enduring the arrow rain.

As Abyssal creatures, taking a couple of arrows wouldn't kill them!

Would it really not?

The answer was, of course, no!

When they truly took two arrows, the life energy attack attached to the arrows made the Imp captain's life worse than death.

Moreover, Yang Jian's attacks also carried true damage and demon-breaking damage specifically against the Abyss!

The Imp captain ran for dozens of meters staunchly before collapsing.

His other subordinates, plus the Hellhounds they were leading, all fell under Yang Jian's first volley of arrows.

Confirming all enemies were dead, Yang Jian transformed into a crow and quickly approached.

Upon landing, the golden Devouring Spirit Body operated at full power.

The Abyssal essence dissipating in the air was completely absorbed by Yang Jian's Devouring Spirit Body!

He suddenly thought that since he was in the Abyss's territory, stealing the Abyss's energy... would a large hand reach out from the void and swat him dead?

Yang Jian quickly opened his Tian Mu and looked around!

[Name: ...]

[Description: In all the myriad worlds, even the Main God cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, otherwise, where would new gods get a chance to ascend? Naru are a divine race; Light Naru mingle in the Divine Realm, Dark Naru mingle in the Abyss. If it's an ordinary lone Abyssal Lord, there's no chance of resurrection! The Tian Yao Realm is a thorn in the side of that Dark Naru; other Abyssal Lords won't pay attention to it! Control the location and frequency of your troublemaking, and you'll be safe!]

[Remark: If you don't eat and occupy more, how can you become an immortal ancestor?]

That makes so much sense!

Yang Jian checked his attributes.

[Name: Yang Jian (Tianmu Zhenjun)]

[Race: Human]

[Affiliation: Zhenhai City, Star Palace]

[Talent: Devouring Spirit Body, Gold (Upgradeable)]

(Abyssal Essence +1920)

[Cultivation Method: None]

[Demon Race Bloodline: None]

[Life Energy: 209200]

[Overall Combat Power: 241200]

[Special Additional Attack: Holy Damage: 49000, Chaos Damage: 49000]

Yang Jian was already accustomed to the fact that the world of "salvation" used two sets of algorithms.

However, after detaching from the game system, it was quite surprising that this true damage and extra damage against the Abyss could still be listed separately under different names.

This indicated that the priority of these two types of damage was quite high.

Those level 40 orange arrows, which could only serve as a transitional item, were fortunately not as useless as they seemed!

As for the Abyssal Essence, Yang Jian had a slightly different opinion.

First, the most intuitive problem.

Ten Imps and two Hellhounds, a total of twelve level 60 elite demons.

Previously, when he could get 30% of it, it was 60 points of Abyssal Essence.

Now that he was devouring it himself, theoretically, he should have gotten 200 points of Abyssal Essence.

Twelve of them should at least yield 2400 points.

But now, this number clearly didn't match.

After calculating, Yang Jian found that the Abyssal Essence he obtained through his Devouring Spirit Body was only 80% of the total... Before entering the Abyss, Yang Jian had already put away the heart of khaz'goroth.

He placed it in his talent backpack.

For the time being, Yang Jian didn't want this necklace to continue upgrading.

Although this necklace was only blue quality, this item looked much more troublesome than the druid king ring!

Moreover, according to the information Yang Jian received, that white old deer was living quite comfortably now!

This druid king ring was clearly just a casual creation from his youth!

But the heart of khaz'goroth was different.

This was genuine Titan essence.

Who knew, the spirit of Khaz'goroth might even reside within it!

The Dark Naru wasn't that easy to kill after being blasted apart.

Would this Titan, who mastered the law of forging, be easy to kill?

Yang Jian didn't quite believe it!

Furthermore, the blue heart of khaz'goroth was much stronger than the purple druid king ring!

Yang Jian found it a bit unsettling to look at!

Therefore, provided Yang Jian himself had the capability, it was better to suppress the upgrade progress of this necklace!

Now, Yang Jian wasn't sure if this was because he arrived a step late, causing the Abyssal Essence to dissipate.

Or if his golden Devouring Spirit Body could only devour 80%!

He would have to verify this in his upcoming actions!

The commotion made by the Imp squad before their death had evidently alarmed the Imps in Imp Valley!

Yang Jian now had a good idea of the situation.

He put away Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song.

And flew directly over.

No more talking!

Kill them by blocking the entrance... The idea of killing them by blocking the entrance was stillborn before it could be put into practice.

The demons in Imp Valley saw this person: so arrogant?

He dared to block the entrance alone?

We won't come out, how will you, honored sir, deal with that?

Imp Valley, having been managed for over three hundred years, had undergone multiple renovations.

It now had some characteristics of a natural fortress!

Too bad, Yang Jian could fly!

He would enter from the sky and launch a direct assault!

"Behind! Quick! Kill him..."

One after another, Hellfire orbs flew towards Yang Jian.

He was now switching between human and bird forms very smoothly.

He would flap his wings twice and change location.

Ordinary arrows, even with immense power, found it difficult to penetrate the defense of the opponent's Abyssal Armor.

Fortunately, Yang Jian's current devouring had amplified his true damage and provided extra damage against the Abyss.

Yang Jian occupied advantageous terrain, shooting down at the Imps below from above.

When a large number of fireballs flew his way, he would change position.

At this point, if there had been aerial forces to tie him down, Yang Jian would have already fled.

Unfortunately!

Special historical reasons led to there being no aerial forces here... Yang Jian immediately felt like a fish in water!
