Chapter 119: Chapter 82: City of Monsters, Destructive Celestial Light
Chen Yu: "..."
’Taking a stroll in the Abyss...’
Chen Yu winced internally as he looked at Dongfang Yi.
’As expected, the powerful really have a unique way of relaxing!’
"Not bad. You’ve held first place this whole time. Keep it up and aim for the championship," Dongfang Yi said, looking at Chen Yu.
"Sigh. It’s not easy. I can’t find any strong mutant beasts. It’s making things difficult," Chen Yu said with a sigh.
Dongfang Yi watched him, his brow furrowing slightly as if he’d thought of something. He took a single step and appeared before him. "I happen to know a place with mutant beasts. Quite a few are above Level 5, and there are even a couple of Level 6 Mutant Beasts. I just don’t know if you’d dare to go."
"Where?"
Chen Yu’s eyes lit up as he looked at Dongfang Yi with excitement.
Dongfang Yi raised his hand and pointed. "Three hundred kilometers to the northwest, there’s a ruined city."
"That’s all I can tell you. Whether you can handle it is up to you."
"Northwest, three hundred kilometers!"
Chen Yu glanced in the direction Dongfang Yi was pointing, then snapped back to attention and looked at him. "Thank you, Senior Dongfang."
Dongfang Yi’s expression was calm. "You’re welcome. It’s just a location. Whether you can take them down depends on your own abilities."
Chen Yu gave a slight smile. "In that case, I’ll take my leave."
Dongfang Yi nodded lightly. Without another word, Chen Yu stepped into the air, his body flashing like lightning, and vanished into the void in an instant.
’It seems his strength is even greater than I anticipated. Still, that place... Heh, let’s hope you’re lucky enough not to wake that monster.’
Dongfang Yi gave a mysterious smile. Then, with a flicker, his figure vanished as well.
...
"ZZZT—!"
An electric light flared, and a streak of lightning shot across the landscape.
Moving at full speed, it only took a few moments for Chen Yu to follow Dongfang Yi’s directions and arrive at the ruined city deep in the northwest.
Collapsed skyscrapers, a land riddled with fissures, and overgrown with wild grasses and plants.
Nature was consuming the traces of civilization.
"This should be the place."
Chen Yu’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the city in the distance.
The wreckage of airplanes and even starships littered the abandoned roads.
They were now covered in rust.
Dark clouds gathered over the ruined city, resembling an abyss ready to devour any and all intruders.
With a single leap, the wind whistling past him, Chen Yu arrived inside the ruined city in an instant.
He spread out his Biological Force Field and began to scan his surroundings.
This place was like a city of the dead.
It was terrifyingly quiet.
’There really are a lot of mutant beasts here!’
Through his Biological Force Field’s senses, Chen Yu quickly detected the Life Fluctuations of numerous mutant beasts.
And they were strong!
Their Life Fluctuations were at least at the level of Level 4 or 5 mutant beasts.
"SWOOSH—!"
Breaking into a sprint, Chen Yu rapidly advanced in the direction of the beasts he had detected.
Soon, he arrived at an abandoned school.
The school’s iron gate was covered in rust.
Terrifyingly quiet!
Tang knife in hand, Chen Yu stepped into the school, his gaze fixed on its depths.
"BOOM—!!"
He had only just stepped inside, not yet venturing deep into the school, when a massive crash echoed out. The teetering school building suddenly disintegrated and collapsed.
A monster, all fangs and claws, appeared before Chen Yu’s eyes.
"Is that... a Nil Squid?"
Chen Yu froze.
Looking at the super-octopus-like monster before him, Chen Yu’s first thought was of the creature he had encountered in the Crane Ridge Anomaly: the Nil Squid!
The ferocious monster before him was also a semi-mechanical life form, but it was different from a Nil Squid. This semi-mechanical monster only had two eyes.
A Nil Squid, on the other hand, had six.
Moreover, he could clearly feel the aura of its Life Fluctuations.
It was extremely strong.
This must be some kind of mutated squid monster.
’Who cares what it is? As long as it increases my Source of Life.’ Deciding not to overthink it, he was about to attack when a second squid monster appeared.
It was even larger—a Level 5 squid mutant beast.
Its mechanical tentacles writhed, a truly terrifying sight.
Then a third, a fourth...
In an instant, a total of nine mechanical squid monsters burst out from the school.
Among them, four of the mechanical squid monsters had reached an astonishing Level 5.
The other five were Level 4 squid mutant beasts.
"HISSS—!!"
The mechanical squid monsters shrieked, their sharp mechanical tentacles sweeping in from all directions.
Chen Yu’s figure flickered and he shot directly into the air.
"CHHH!!!"
The squid monsters reacted quickly, spitting out a corrosive black light that shot toward Chen Yu.
But he dodged it with ease.
"VMMMM!!!"
Chen Yu gently raised his hand. An aura of extreme cold erupted as he activated his Frost Domain, and in an instant, the entire school was frozen solid.
The nine mechanical monsters were encased in ice!
His current ice-sealing ability was so powerful that not even a Level 5 mutant beast could break free.
"CLANG!"
The Tang knife rang, and with a single slash through the air, a blade aura dozens of meters long came crashing down.
RUMBLE!!!
The blade aura shattered the ice, cleaving the frozen mechanical squids directly in two.
Another horizontal sweep, and the sharp blade aura dominated the sky.
In an instant, all nine squid monsters were annihilated.
He gained nearly 600,000 Source of Life!
His points also shot up by more than two thousand.
The school was completely destroyed, reduced to a field of absolute ruins. A bone-chilling cold permeated the air, freezing one to the very soul.
His figure descended from midair. With a light wave of his hand, the ice vanished, leaving behind only the deader-than-dead mechanical squid monsters.
"Sophie, are these things the same as Nil Squids?" Chen Yu asked.
Sophie, in her Tang knife form, vibrated once as a light emanated from her, scanning the area.
