Chapter 282: Chapter 181: The Ancient Demon at the Bottom of the Abyss_3
Lin Xun was at a loss for words.
Both Maguire and the Multivision president were dead. Where was he supposed to find the ’Book of Characters’?
If only Rona was still around, he might have been able to get a clue from her. But alas...
[You stand on the edge of a cliff, staring motionless into the darkness below. You begin to think it would be better to jump than to wait here.]
[Do you want to jump into the Abyss?]
Lin Xun had no resurrection items. Anyone who jumped into the Abyss had a 100% chance of dying...
"Perhaps there’s a pool of water at the bottom of the Abyss," he pondered.
"No, I’ve played too many games. I almost forgot my elementary school physics... even if there was water at the bottom, at this depth, I would die instantly on impact."
This damn game was just trying to scam him of his soul strength.
He furrowed his brows, getting the vague feeling that he had forgotten something.
Suddenly, Lin Xun slapped his thigh: "Damn, I was so engrossed in outsmarting this game that I forgot about my Valkyrie!"
Without hesitation, he ordered the Valkyrie to carry him.
[The ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ wraps her arms around your waist. With a flap of her metallic Wings, you are lifted into the air!]
When faced with the option from the game ’Would you like to jump into the Abyss?’.
Lin Xun decisively clicked ’Yes’.
[The ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ tucks her metallic Wings, carrying you in a dive towards the Abyss below...]
[A sharp, chilling wind howls past, making it hard to keep your eyes open.]
[You, along with your puppet, plunge into eternal darkness...]
The Valkyrie dives at an incredible speed.
Lin Xun had to periodically cast ’Knowledge Luminosity’ to light the way, in case she went blind and crashed into the bottom of the Abyss.
The fastest free-falling speed achieved by humanity exceeded the speed of sound, a record set by a man in protective gear and full body equipment.
The Valkyrie’s diving speed was definitely far greater than that.
Yet, it took two to three minutes for them to get closer to the bottom. Considering the time it took for her to accelerate, he roughly estimated the depth of the Underworld Abyss to be at least 50-60,000 meters!
[The ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ slowly spreads her metallic Wings, shifting her posture from a dive to a glide.]
[Through the intense light radiating from ’Knowledge Luminosity’, you can vaguely make out the ground at the bottom of the Abyss.]
[...]
[The ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ gently lowers you to the ground.]
[The Underworld Abyss’s ground is made up entirely of stinky sludge. The black sludge reaches up to your calves, engulfing your ankles.]
[You hold your breath and look around. The bottom of the Abyss seems endless, the darkness stretching beyond your vision.]
[Suddenly! Not far from you, a giant soft-bodied creature emerges from the sludge. Resembling an enormous boa constrictor, it lunges at the unsuspecting Valkyrie!]
[You instantly open all your compound eyes, a flash of symbol-like light passes, and the creature’s head violently bursts open.]
[You have defeated the ’Underworld Swamp Worm’, your experience points have increased slightly.]
[You obtained ’Stinky Feces Stone’ (junk item).]
[The ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ barely reacts in time and closes the distance between you, sticking to your side like glue.]
[The darkness of the Underworld Abyss greatly limits her combat power.]
It had been a while since Lin Xun last saw a ’Stinky Feces Stone’.
Seeing it again made him strangely nostalgic.
He shook his head, banishing the absurd thought from his mind.
[You suddenly notice a faint light in the boundless darkness, seemingly very far away from you.]
[Do you want to head towards the light?]
Was there even a need to ask? He decisively chose ’Yes’.
Lin Xun guessed that the light in the darkness must be either a treasure or a boss monster.
[With the ’Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ in tow, you move forward. The thick sludge slows your movement significantly.]
He did not ride the Valkyrie.
If he let the Valkyrie carry him, he would lose a powerful damage-dealer.
If the light was a big boss monster, sneaking up and launching a surprise attack could increase their chances of victory.
[You trudge forward, keeping a slow pace...]
[...]
[As you approach the source of the light, it stands out vividly in the endless darkness, exuding a warm and hazy glow that beckons to you, creating an irresistible urge to get closer and touch it.]
[You too are drawn to the light and move closer without realizing it.]
[Suddenly, a giant soft-bodied creature emerges from the sludge nearby, heading towards the light...]
[You instantly snap out of your daze and halt your advance, observing the scene.]
[The ’Underworld Swamp Worm’ ceaselessly wriggles on the surface of the mud, instinctively approaching the source of light.]
[As it’s about to touch the warm light...]
[A monstrous face emerges silently into the illuminated area, swallowing the ’Underworld Swamp Worm’ whole with one bite, then quickly retreats into the darkness.]
[In the fleeting scene, you realize that the warm light is connected to the monstrous face by a tentacle-like appendage, like a fisherman silently fishing in the darkness.]
[You have discovered the ’Ancient Abyss Demon —— Black Thorn Demon’]
[What is your next move?]
[1.’As long as I’m fast enough...’ Take advantage of the terrifying ’Black Thorn Demon’ while it still hasn’t noticed you, and flee with the Valkyrie.]
[2. ’You can’t hit me...’ Have your Valkyrie take flight, and attack the ’Black Thorn Demon’ from midair using her skills.]
[3. ’Take this, kidney killer!’ Recite a spell and use the ’Starlight Fall’ skill to deliver a heavy blow to the ’Black Thorn Demon’.]
