Chapter 4: The Demon Abyss

The law is the source of light, mysterious and mysterious.

Whenever the awakening level of the awakened person increases, such a mysterious light will be born in the body, which can be used to improve any of the three major attributes.

Chen Gou followed the female knight's suggestion and added the power of the law source light to his intelligence.

I felt a mysterious power converge from my body into my mind, and my intelligence increased from nine to eleven, and I immediately heard the voice of the system.

"System prompt: The host's intelligence breaks through ten points, breaks through the first critical line, and obtains the additional ability of intelligence attributes: mana sublimation - the mana value increased by each point of intelligence attribute increased from 15 points to 20 points!"

For the Awakened, each of the three attributes has a different role.

Strength is tied to physical attack, health, and physique, and normally increases by 25 health for each point raised.

Agility determines attack, movement, and reaction speed.

Intelligence is related to spirit, will, and mana, and usually increases by 15 mana points for each increase.

Chen Gou's intelligence attribute broke through ten points, and as the female knight said, he was improved after this attribute broke through the first critical line.

The passive ability of mana sublimation makes every time he improves his intelligence in the future, the increased mana will be 5 points more than others.

"This may be the best additional ability for a mage, but it doesn't seem like my mana needs as a summoner are too much......"

"No, I only have the skill of real summoning now, and I really don't have to worry about running out of mana, but it will definitely be another matter after I have more skills in the future. ”

Chen Gou frowned at first, but quickly stretched out again.

For the Awakened, the more mana is like the soldiers under the general, the more the better.

Once the mana is used up, many powerful skills cannot be used, and even the most powerful awakened will be reduced to high-level infantry.

So on the whole, he is still satisfied with the additional ability of this breakthrough in intelligence attributes.

Without saying anything in the middle of the night, Chen Gou squinted half-asleep for a few hours, and was woken up by the female knight just after dawn to receive a new round of training.

Over the next few days, the five official members of the Abyss Clan:

The main melee output and captain Edward Park, the tall and tall meat shield Mondo, the ranged output archer Han Feng, the outpost ranger Alain, and the female support Yeqing who is proficient in various control and recovery skills.

Everyone took turns to spend a day training on Chen Gou.

There is not much training related to combat skills, because in just a few days, it is difficult to transform an ordinary teenager into an elite warrior.

It's more about cultivating his combat experience - always being vigilant, the most correct way to deal with a sneak attack, treating the enemy without the slightest pity, and so on.

Each one of them was groped out by themselves with their own blood.

For the rest of the time, Chen Gou was in charge of continuing the training by the steward of the Fayuan clan, this middle-aged steward in his forties was also an awakened person, although he did not join the Knights, but he had also wandered outside and killed many demons.

After a total of thirty days of training, Chen Gou's temperament has changed a lot, although he is still a little immature, but he also has the appearance of a warrior.

The lazy habits left over from the past are forced to be swept away, and the hands are always in the place where the sword can be drawn, and the eyes are always vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

It was on this day that the Abyss team left Rock City with Chen Gou to participate in the Abyss Assessment.

The iron rider rushed out of the gate hole made entirely of steel, and plunged headlong into the vast wilderness.

Occasionally, there are white bones on the side of the road that no one has to pick up, and you can also see the fields and the farmers at work.

Although this world has been invaded by demons, the demons are still well restrained beyond the fog controlled by humans.

However, for ordinary people living outside of the giant city where the Awakened Knights are stationed, danger is still ever-present.

The demons have always had a variety of ways to break through the defenses and infiltrate human territory from within the mist.

Five Golden Clan-level Abyss Knights galloped all the way north.

Everywhere they passed, pedestrians, caravans, and even other warriors belonging to the Holy See avoided each other, and saluted and watched.

According to the laws of the Holy See, anyone who hinders the Abyssal Knights outside the city will die in vain if they are knocked to death.

The Abyss Knight's war horse didn't know what breed it was, and it only took a little more than half an hour to travel fifty kilometers.

Like a black torrent, the five horsemen crashed headlong into a heavily guarded castle.

It would be inaccurate to say that it is a castle, but rather a castle under construction.

The whole castle is clearly divided into the outer city and the inner city, the inner city wall is higher than the outer city, and it has been built for fifteen meters without stopping, and it continues to be thickened and thickened.

Like a castle with a large construction site, the security is also unprecedentedly tight.

It is really three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, even as the identity of the Abyss team, they have undergone a lot of interrogation before approaching the inner city.

"What are such tight guards guarding against?"

The moment he climbed the city wall, Chen Gou was stunned.

I saw that in the center, surrounded by tall walls, there was not a treasure or a palace, but a mist, a mist of blood-red light floating in the gray and black.

The mist rolled, and a crack that was as dark as an abyss loomed in it.

An unsettling aura permeated the soul.

Chen Gou's eyes widened: "Could it be that this is ......?"

"Demon Abyss!"

Edward Pu, the captain of the Abyss Clan, wore a bronze mask on his face, and said indifferently: "This is a new abyss that only appeared half a month ago, and we suspect that the new kind of demon you killed invaded from this abyss. ”

Chen Gou asked, "Didn't you send someone in to verify it?"

"That's what we're bringing you here for!"

The female knight Yeqing glanced at the other Abyss Knight clans not far away, as well as the few young people who were with them, and said:

"Since the entrance to this abyss has just opened, the spatial passage is very unstable, and high-ranking knights cannot enter. So you and the other five examiners will enter it together to explore, you don't need to deliberately kill the demons, as long as you can hold out for ten days and come back alive with the information you have gathered, you will be considered to have passed. ”

"Of course, the more useful items and information you bring back, the higher your final assessment score. ”

Chen Gou took a deep breath when he heard this, and entered a new and unknown demon abyss to exploreβ€”this is a bit of a gamble!

The Abyss Knights naturally made sense of this.

Because the passage that has just been opened is too unstable, it can only be passed by people below level 20 under normal circumstances, but it is necessary to go in and explore the situation.

And a dozen levels of formal knights and several levels of abyss assessors entered the unknown abyss, and after verification by the Holy See, it was found that it was more cost-effective to let the latter explore and collect intelligence.

Because the first time you enter the abyss of the unknown, you are mainly collecting information.

If it was a small abyss with only three or five demons, the abyss examiner would be enough to deal with it.

If it is one of those top-level dangerous worlds, whoever goes is dead and can only consider themselves unlucky, then between the death of a few assessors and the death of a few official knights, everyone knows how to choose.

Moreover, after a month of special training, the Abyss Assessor is not pure cannon fodder, and with the help of natural skills, he still has a certain ability to save his life.

In short, this form of abyss assessment depends on luck, if you enter the low-level abyss, you may pass the whole army, and if you enter the top-level abyss, you may be wiped out.

"As I told you, the Abyss Knight isn't that easy to join, and it's too late for you to quit now. ”

Han Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay to survive, it's okay to coax him at all!"

"If the alien who created the soul corpse really came out of this abyss, then the world behind the abyss is very likely to be the world I am familiar with, with the American drama blood clan as the background, so I have a lot of advantages in it......"

Thinking of this, Chen Gou's heart gradually quieted down, and even a trace of yearning for unknown challenges rose.

If he can't pass the abyss assessment when he occupies the right time and place, it proves that he really only has the life of being a salted fish.

Although his thoughts were racing in his heart, his face remained silent, and he asked, "The abyss seems to be a space-time passage, how can we come back after we go in? Is there also a passage back on the other side?"

"It is impossible to determine what is on the other side of the Abyssal Rift, but what is certain is that there is usually no stable passage on the opposite side of the nascent Abyssal World, only a free rift that is constantly moving around the world.

This is the Void Stone, a law prop researched by the Holy See's Heavenly Oracle Grand Priest, and under the condition of ensuring that there are no demons nearby, infusing the power of the law into it can directly create a temporary crack channel in the abyss world for you to return.

However, it takes at least ten days for the Void Stone to collect the space-time coordinates of the Abyss World. ”

Chen Gou said in a deep voice: "So, ten days is only the fastest period we can return to theoretically, not the time when we can definitely come back, right?"

"Yes, don't feel cruel, blame you for being born in this era, since the Demon invasion thirty years ago, every Abyss Knight was born like this. ”

When the female knight handed the void stone in her hand like a cyan diamond to Chen Gou, she said in a rare joking tone: "After all, we have known each other, I hope you can come back alive, maybe there will be you among those big people in the future." ”

Chen Gou followed her gaze and saw three figures in holy robes or ornate battle armor suspended in the void above the abyssal mist.

His whole body was shrouded in light, and his face was completely invisible, like three small suns that could not be looked at directly.

For example, the members of the Varsity Clan can only look up.

These are the true giants of the Holy Covenant See!

The man in the middle raised his hand and pressed down, and the whole castle was instantly silent.

Everyone waited.

From the light came a majestic and majestic sound, echoing beneath the sky.

"The five thousand one hundred and fifty-sixth abyss assessment of the Holy See's Rock Branch will open in ten minutes...... All examiners are ready to take their places!"

As soon as the words fell, the five members of the Abyss Clan led Chen Gou to the overpass across the Abyssal Mist above the city wall, and there was a circular platform in the center of the overpass.

The other five examiners were also brought up separately, and behind each of them was a team of Abyss Knights similar to "Cutting Abyss".

Moreover, the members of these teams obviously know each other.

"Edward, why did you choose a little kid who is not yet an adult?" someone laughed after glancing at Chen Gou.

The female knight Yeqing saw that there was also a young man with blond hair standing behind the other party, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and sneered: "Didn't you choose a man who didn't have any hair?"

"That's different, he's a member of the Arislan family, don't look at his young age, his strength is not weak, this time he is here for the first place. ”

Many people around showed a look of surprise, Arislan is a big clan in Rock City, and there are many strong people in the clan, and it is a force that cannot be ignored.

Captain Edward was expressionless, and the rest of the team laughed at him and stopped talking.

For them, this level of bickering is like the usual joking and playful play, and no one will take it seriously......
