From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 34: Bridge No. , Quenching Castle Again
Hundreds of insect eggs in the nest were all transformed into experience in the flames, and data prompts began to refresh the screen.

[Hunting the larvae of the abyss woodlice, absorbing 1 point of demonic energy. ]

[Hunting the larvae of the abyss woodlice, absorbing 1 point of demonic energy. ]

After absorbing a massive amount of demonic energy, Lu Heng reached level 10 in one go, with all attributes increased by 1, and the [Agile as a Dragon] talent adding an additional +0.3 to agility, bringing the agility attribute to 23 points.

Su Muyu's level also caught up and reached level 9.

The explosion at Keel Reef attracted the attention of a dozen ships on the sea, and some ships began to approach this side.

Without waiting for the flames to die out, Lu Heng released his shadow clone and entered the flames to search for the demon crystal core: "Use the scout eagle to find the crystal core. Once we get the things, we'll leave."

Su Muyu quickly controlled the reconnaissance eagle and flew into the fire, looking for the demon crystal core.

Under the scorching flames, the scout eagle was quickly burned to ashes.

However, her perception ability improved, and she quickly found the location of the three demon crystal cores.

Release the scout eagle again and grab two demon crystal cores from the fire.

The last demon crystal core was taken out by Lu Heng who controlled the shadow clone and used a sword to pry open the shell of the mother insect.

After getting the three crystal cores, the two got on the motorboat, turned on the [Invisibility Curtain], passed by a yacht, and floated away.

……

More than a dozen ships rushed towards Keel Reef, and two of them hit the reef.

More than a dozen teams of psychics boarded up the Dragon Bone Reef and saw a huge hole blown out on the reef and the Abyss Queen that had been burned to charcoal near the hole's entrance.

The faces of the top psychics with profound backgrounds changed from gloomy to bright.

Lei Jinhao, who would be known as the "Storm Boxing King" in the future, also landed on Dragon Bone Reef.

Originally, he was determined to obtain the crystal core of the queen insect. Even though his injuries had not recovered, he personally came to command his men to hunt down the queen insect.

As a result, they dropped hundreds of depth charges, but found nothing.

An old man in his fifties, holding a pipe in his mouth, walked up to the silver-haired man and said leisurely, "Lei Jinhao, we are doing the wedding dress for others this time."

The silver-haired man called Lei Jinhao looked at his men with a cold gaze and asked, "Did anyone see who killed the queen insect in the end?"

A Psychic raised his hand and said, "I seemed to have seen a man and a woman on the Dragonbone Reef before."

"A man and a woman?" Lei Jinhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

now.

The man and woman mentioned in these people have returned to the hotel.

"Let's divide the spoils, let's divide the spoils." Lu Heng took out all the spoils and laid them out on the table.

I had previously hunted Abyss Woodlice at Gardenia Beach and obtained three crystal cores.

Among them, the [Prism Tower Shield] crystal core has been given to Su Muyu for use.

The remaining two are [Corrosive Mucus] and an ordinary crystal core.

I killed the queen insect tonight and got 3 more crystal cores.

To be precise, two of them are flat block-shaped crystals that are translucent orange-red in color.

When he saw the color, Lu Heng basically recognized what it was. He picked it up to check the data and it was as expected.

[Quenching Essence: Materials used for quenching. Using corresponding materials to quench weapons and equipment can increase the power and grade of weapons and equipment. ]

Two pieces of quenching essence, and the third piece is a skill crystal core [Woodlouse Shell].

【Woodlouse Shell】

[Skill level: C level]

[Skill consumption: 50 energy/day (horny layer growth period)]

[Skill Effect: Generates a permanent stratum corneum on the body surface. When the stratum corneum reaches a certain thickness, it will harden into a shell, which has extremely strong defensive power.]

How strong is the defensive power of this skill crystal core?
You can tell by looking at the queen insect’s carapace that it can withstand depth charges.

However, the shell formed by this skill is permanent. Unless it is cut off with a knife, the woodlouse shell will always remain on the body.

This skill is very unique. Considering the skill effect alone, it is indeed a powerful skill, but due to some special reasons, the price is often not high.

After all, most people can't accept having woodlice shells all over their bodies, it's too ugly. "You don't want to learn this [woodlice shell], right?" Lu Heng smiled wickedly at Su Muyu.

“Mmmm…” Su Muyu shook her head like a rattle, determined not to learn this kind of curious skill.

"Then let's put these two crystal cores aside for now." Lu Heng put the [Corrosive Mucus] and [Woodloaf Shell] aside for now.

Su Muyu suddenly showed a mischievous smile, pointed at the [Solphin Shell] crystal core, and said: "You can learn this, maybe it will be very handsome."

"Hmm? Now you've learned how to tease me, right?"

Lu Heng found that she was very cute when she was joking. In his memory, she had never joked like this before. At that time, her calm appearance always concealed a layer of sadness.

Su Muyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She had been teased before and finally fought back.

After laughing for a while, she turned to the main topic: "How do you use these two pieces of quenching essence?"

"Remember the Quenching Fort? Once we find the entrance to the Quenching Fort, we can use these two essences to quench our weapons and improve their attributes." Lu Heng first put the two quenching essences into the inventory.

Su Muyu blinked and asked in surprise, "You mean, the Quenching Castle is on Blue Star now?"

Lu Heng corrected his statement: "If the Quenching Castle successfully escaped from the Abyss World, it should now be in the gap between the overlapping spaces of the two worlds."

"So are we going to look for the entrance to the Quenching Castle now?"

Su Muyu suddenly wanted to go to Quenching Fort to take a look. After all, it was they who helped Quenching Fort escape from the abyss, and he didn’t know whether it succeeded in the end.

"We can try to look for it, but I don't know if the entrance has appeared now." Lu Heng thought of the Quenching Fort in his previous life. The entrance was very hidden and could not be found by ordinary means.

"Then let's go. I wonder if that little dwarf Guru has succeeded." Su Muyu thought that the quenching master named Guru was quite interesting.

"Okay. Let's gather at 8 o'clock tonight and look for the entrance to the Quenching Fort."

I just happened to get the quenching essence, so I can try to quench my weapon to increase its power.

……

eight pm.

Su Muyu arrived on time to meet up. She dressed up before coming. She put on her newly bought leather shoes, tied her hair into a half ponytail, and tied a sky blue headband.

"where are we going?"

"Century Bridge No. 9 Archway."

The night view of the beach near the Century Bridge is very beautiful.

The night market lights on the riverbank road and the colorful outline lights on the Century Bridge together look like a sea of ​​neon lights.

When he arrived in front of the Binhai Century Bridge, Su Muyu blinked hard and counted three times.

Whether counting from left to right or from right to left, the Binhai Century Bridge has only eight archways.

"One, two, three...eight, the one you just mentioned seemed to be bridge tunnel number nine?" Su Muyu began to lack confidence in his memory.

"It's the No. 9 bridge tunnel." Lu Heng took her to the Century Bridge.

When we walked to the bottom of the bridge, the light gradually dimmed.

Lu Heng pointed to the bottom of the bridge and said, "Look around to see if there is a ninth bridge hole."

The Binhai Century Bridge does have only eight archways, each with a span of more than one hundred meters, and the entire bridge is more than one thousand meters long.

When the Abyss Plane descends, the spaces of the two worlds will overlap.

The arrival of the planes does not happen all at once, but rather spatial overlap occurs gradually.

Bridge Arch No. 9 was created by the overlap of spaces.

However, the No. 9 bridge tunnel cannot be found with the naked eye. It requires a psychic with strong perception skills to explore and find it.

Following Lu Heng's instructions, Su Muyu released the reconnaissance eagle, turned on its stealth detection capability, and flew under the bridge to conduct an investigation.

Then a magical thing happened, a new arch appeared under the bridge.

This bridge arch is like a door, emitting a faint light and leading to an unknown place.

"I saw it. It's amazing." Her tone was full of surprise.

"Let's go and see if we can get in." Lu Heng was also very happy when he heard that the No. 9 bridge tunnel appeared.

Su Muyu closed her eyes, relied on the vision of a reconnaissance eagle, held Lu Heng's hand, and walked into the No. 9 tunnel of the Century Bridge.
