Chapter 182: Chapter 178 Abyssal Castle_2

The death of the minor boss, Zi Liyuan, did not concern him, but he saw a host of newcomers displaying a variety of life-saving skills.

He also gained some new insights about these geniuses.

The way noble families raised their offspring was not to cultivate them as flowers in a greenhouse; these geniuses could basically remain calm and composed in the face of danger.

The recent surprise attack by a little spiky demon would have been lethal for anyone who was even slightly slow to react, possibly resulting in being killed on the spot.

“At the same level and with the same equipment, offspring of noble families are indeed stronger than most civilian professionals,”

There was a foundation within their families, and even before turning 18, before awakening and changing careers, they could be taken by members of their clan to the wilderness for training, which is a condition that civilian professionals do not have.

“No wonder many civilian professionals are stuck at the Second Order critical point, unable to break through to the Third Order, while even the least promising scions of noble families are very likely to break through to the Third Order.”

Therefore, Shen Yurou represents the hope for civilian professionals to advance quickly through the ranks.

After sighing with sentiment, he became even more determined to start an arms company.

The Blue Star world is constantly being invaded and merged by dimensional instances, causing the world to grow ever larger.

Its resources are numerous, and less than one-tenth of them have been exploited. If the strength of civilian professionals could be generally improved and more resources developed, the Great Xia Empire would surely dominate the Coalition of Nations.

At that time, the looting of other countries’ resources could allow the empire to soar swiftly, and even the unification of the world would not be impossible.

He shook his head, recognizing that there was no use thinking about these problems until Xiao Yurou developed Gundam or Zaku mechas.

At the moment, after the newcomers killed the little spiky demon, they began to focus on clearing the monster wave.

Without the boss to drive them, these hordes of abyss cannon fodder immediately became scattered and disorganized. Some continued to attack the newcomers, while others had already begun to flee.

In less than half an hour, the monster tide had dispersed, with seventy percent of the monsters fleeing in all directions, while the rest were eliminated.

At this moment, on the ground, there were quite a few materials dropped by monsters, occasionally mixed with a few strands of green light.

The newcomers who cleaned the battlefield picked up the green gear, but when it came to the materials dropped by the monsters, even those of rare quality were only picked selectively, with most being forsaken.

The materials dropped by abyss monsters contain abyssal energy, which could cause living beings to become demonized, so aside from some materials worth researching that were collected, the rest were left untouched.

However, for Zi Liyuan, these were not a problem at all. The ordinary monster corpses he gathered could become the best Skeleton Warriors and Zombie minions, couldn’t they?

So, upon seeing the corpses, he directly stowed them in his Spatial Backpack, forcefully replenishing the skeletal numbers lost by the summoned Skeleton Warriors of the ghostly Skeleton Mage at the beginning.

“Let’s go, the monster tide came from this direction; there must be something driving them back there,”

He manipulated the Skeleton Army, moving in the direction from which the monster tide had come.

The full-strength Skeleton Army numbered 22,000, but since they were not knight units, their speed was limited, and they advanced slowly.

The groups of new students around him sped up one by one, quickly surpassing Zi Liyuan’s Skeleton Army, running in the direction the monster tide had come from.

Perhaps these noble scions felt that since they couldn’t beat someone in a one-on-one fight, they would strive to complete this Academy mission to earn Contribution Value rewards, and perhaps even snatch first place!

Of course, while some sped up, others were slack in their duties, especially the teams of the four imperial families.

Under the direction of Ying Xueji, they took their time resting on the spot before slowly moving forward, even maintaining a certain synchronization with the Skeleton Army’s speed.

This scene didn’t escape Zi Liyuan’s eyes, but he had no way to address it with Li Fengwen and the others and simply pretended not to see it.

Obviously, knowing the dangers of the abyssal rift, they had no intention of taking risks, preferring to watch others put their lives on the line to complete the mission so they could reap the benefits afterward.

After all, it was these individuals who looked down on the rewards offered by the Academy, which is why they dragged their feet.

Zi Liyuan was not in a hurry either, and he even didn’t care much about the ranking rewards. Because no matter who eventually won the rewards, he was ready to try his luck and ask for them.

In Dragon Academy, all official students who are combatants can challenge each other. The loser must give one-tenth of their Contribution Value to the winner.

Of course, to prevent someone from being relentlessly targeted, once you lose, there is a seven-day protection period where others can’t challenge you, but you can still challenge others.

Thus, in Dragon Academy, the strong always get stronger, gaining access to more resources to improve themselves, while the weak can only accumulate their foundation slowly.

Every year, freshmen make it onto the leaderboard for the competition for the Lord’s Heart in Dragon Academy, all due to the school’s encouragement of fierce competition.

Along the way, they cleared any abyssal minor monsters they encountered, and after exiting the large rift valley formed by the spatial rift, an enormous black stone castle appeared before them.

This colossal fortress floated above Boiling Water Lake, where the water boiled with numerous bubbles, each bubble burst emitting a strong smell of sulfur.

The castle was suspended over the lake, connected to the shore by a bridge condensed from black stone, about twenty meters wide.

At the end of the bridge was a massive iron gate of the castle. Amidst its dark hue, a certain red light gleamed, upon which some Demonic Runes were inscribed.

The walls enveloping the castle gate were about forty meters high, giving a very rugged feeling, as if constructed from piles of stones.

On the walls were carved images of various beings undergoing torture, particularly numerous depictions from the Human Race suffering destruction, which were quite unsettling to see.

Through the Eyes of Death, however, Zi Liyuan saw much more.

For instance, on the stone wall of the castle, where there were no carved images, Gargoyles were hidden!

Just on the front side of the wall they were facing, there must have been over a thousand Gargoyles hidden!

That was only the exterior of the wall. On the wall itself, there were also patrolling monsters, squads of lesser Demons, with twelve in each, accompanied by a Hellhound.

And at every battlement, a Stone Demon lay hidden, merging into the wall, ready to strike unsuspecting enemies.

Seeing all this demonic information in his mind made Zi Liyuan’s head spin.

Especially as he drew closer to the castle and saw more and more monster information, his heart sank.

The newcomers that had arrived here numbered just over a thousand, but just the tip of the iceberg they could see of the monsters in this enormous Abyssal Castle already reached over 10,000.

These were not the expendable Skeletons Zi Liyuan had produced, but a nest full of monsters all at LV80!

Just a bit of thought made it clear that inside the castle, there must certainly be Fourth Order Abyssal monsters, and definitely not just one!

“Zi Bro, my dad once told us, if an Abyssal Castle appears within a spatiotemporal rift, the larger it is, the stronger the castle’s owner,” Wang Fatty said with a tremble, especially since through the power of their contract, feeling the unrest and agitation emanating from the hero Boss Spirit he had summoned made him even more reluctant to set foot within the castle.

“Is there any other information?” Zi Liyuan asked.

“No, that’s all. Spatiotemporal rifts don’t appear often in the Great Xia Empire. Every time they do, experts are promptly dispatched to eradicate them, so my dad doesn’t have detailed information,” Wang Fatty said.

Although his father managed a copy house, which made him a member of the middle management team, he didn’t have the authority to access detailed information about the Abyss.

“If that’s the case, it seems we can only go and ask those four guys,” Zi Liyuan nodded and immediately controlled the Skeleton to stop, waiting for Ying Xueji and the others to catch up.
