Abyss Summoner

This is an abandoned city. Perhaps it was a place of advanced industry, a nation’s top metropolis, or maybe a tourist destination that attracted countless visitors. But now, its identity is singular: a ghost town.

There are many reasons for the disappearance of its population.

Frequent earthquakes, a hostile environment, and attacks by those wilderness monsters could all have caused people to migrate.

Chen Feng hadn’t seen a scene like this in a long time. With the Order growing stronger, such desolation was clearly from years ago when the Order was just starting out. It was the fiercest time fighting monsters, whereas now, the so-called monsters had long been driven away or hunted down, allowing the Order to erect its own civilization on the ruins.

A metropolis with a population of millions, plus endless Demon laborers working day and night, may not have developed into the bright splendor of peacetime, but it’s still a hundred times better than here!

Falling behind means getting beaten.

In peace or apocalypse, this is an eternal truth.

Lu Wei and Wei Xun followed indifferently beside him. They were Elder Level figures in the Order, having experienced many desperate battles. Their power couldn’t compare to the Chimera, but undeniably, after countless wars, they’d become qualified Warriors.

With sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, they served as competent guards.

Chen Feng wasn’t deliberately emanating an aura, but the aura from Lu Wei and Wei Xun lingered around them. Demons symbolize chaos, and the monsters formed from the spirits of myriad beasts began appearing over Wei Xun’s head again after the Chimera’s disappearance, emitting murderous intent to the surroundings.

After advancing about ten kilometers.

Chen Feng’s view encountered a notice board, with a message written on it: "Don’t be afraid, we will all die!"

The notice board was originally an advertisement featuring a spokesperson for a mobile phone, a thin-clad A-list actress. But now, her fair face bore the grotesque bloody words.

We will all die?!

A faint smile appeared at Chen Feng’s lips. He could even imagine it: a desperate survivor finally crushed by life, severing his finger, writing these seemingly admonitory but actually hopeless words.

No one will escape the fate of death.

No savior appeared. This place had evidently undergone unimaginable despair, and over a million people facing calamity were no different from ants about to be scalded by hot water.

Humans attempted to stride away from the scorching overhead, but the extent of the hot water was too vast. Even as they squeezed out their physical strength to flee, when the water poured down, their bodies turned bright red, their skins scalded off, and the flesh inside cooked and fell away, leaving only white bones lamenting the world’s injustice.

Don’t be afraid.

No one can escape.

Truly a chilling sentence.

"Sir."

"There’s movement ahead!"

A deep voice from Lu Wei came from his side, followed by pounding footsteps. An ugly boar emerged, covered in black bristles and sharp tusks jutting from each corner of its mouth. Its eyes gleamed with hunger and madness, it seemed too ravenous, the acid in its stomach burning its insides, leading it out of hiding and presenting itself before Chen Feng’s group.

Iron-haired Pig!

A creature mutated from domesticated pigs, it lacked the greed and corpulence associated with regular pigs, instead possessing fierce wildness seen only in beasts.

Yet now it seemed panicked, sneezing continuously, its limbs sliding on the ground, as if it were beset by fear. If possible, it wouldn’t have stepped onto this barren land.

Hunger is the original sin.

The monster sought to eliminate the people before it quickly and retreat to its territory. If successful, three humans would sustain it for a month without needing food.

"Boom!"

The Iron-haired Pig hesitated no longer and charged ahead.

The battle ended quickly, even though it was a Yellow tier creature. Facing a being with a hundred souls and a humanoid Demon with superior recovery, it was defeated.

Wei Xun’s leather armor was somewhat damaged, and his face was covered in blood, yet he seemed excited, having extracted and merged his opponent’s soul with a Golden Tier monster spirit, making the creature atop his head appear more lifelike.

The flesh of the Iron-haired Pig was of no use to the group. After Wei Xun devoured its soul, he left the carcass behind!

As the party proceeded a little further, the ground trembled, and monsters lurking in dark corners dismembered it, feasted, and returned to silence.

The environment here felt strange even to Chen Feng.

There were no humans, and the monsters appeared fearful. Having ascended to Legendary, Chen Feng’s Perception Ability was highly sensitive; he could clearly feel fear and panic in the monsters.

It felt as if there was a constant threat of disaster, a perpetual state of high tension, lacking even the courage to seek food.

This didn’t match the nature of these monsters. An unclaimed land should be their playground yet at this moment, the bloodthirsty beasts had turned into imprisoned lambs, and this was quite bizarre.
