From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 54: A Shortcut to the Fight for Essence (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
After clearing the demon camp, Liu Qichen suddenly exclaimed: "Something happened, come quickly!"

Everyone looked puzzled and ran towards Liu Qichen.

At this moment, Liu Qichen was standing at the door of the camp's dungeon, pointing at the scene in the dungeon, his face full of panic.

When Lu Heng saw the situation in the dungeon, his expression froze instantly.

Because there were many corpses lying in the dungeon, and they were human corpses.

Lu Heng walked into the dungeon, his eyes swept over the corpses, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"What's going on? These people should be recruited mutants like us, so why are they all dead? Were they killed by the devil?" Lin Zeyu showed a puzzled expression on his face.

Wang Xiangfeng and Li Dayong squatted down to examine the body and reported: "There is still residual body temperature. The time of death is no more than one hour."

"Looking at the wounds on the bodies, they were beaten to death in fighting methods. Three of them had broken necks, and two had sunken chests. The methods were quite cruel," Li Dayong added.

"Was this killed by a demon?" Liu Qichen's face was full of confusion.

Lu Heng shook his head and said in a serious tone: "It's not a demon, it was killed by its own kind."

"What?" The others all looked stunned.

"To the devil, we are sacrifices. We are to be sent to the Temple of Badon. We can't just be killed like this."

Lu Heng counted the bodies as he spoke: “There are exactly nine bodies here. According to the situation in the dungeon where we were imprisoned before, there should be ten people imprisoned here.

“One of them killed the other nine.

“As for why… I think you should have guessed the reason.

"In the battle for essence, this person took away the essence of these nine people. He should have obtained the first class rank by now."

According to the instructions for the source quality battle, the initial source quality fusion degree is 10%.

This actually means that each source essence owner has 10% of the source essence, and the source essence of 10 people combined is exactly 100%.

The number of people with special abilities imprisoned in the dungeon is very subtle, exactly 10 people.

This means that if one of them kills the other nine and takes away all the essence, he can achieve 1% essence fusion and obtain the first job rank.

Lu Heng knew from the beginning that this was a shortcut to completing the fight for source quality, but he did not make such a choice.

Moreover, killing all other psychics would result in a lack of manpower to stop the evil god's resurrection ceremony.

When the evil god Barton is resurrected, everyone will die.

Therefore, killing one's own kind to seize the essence in the battle for the essence may seem like a shortcut, but it is actually another dead end.

……

After discovering the nine dead psychics in the demon camp, Lu Heng became more and more worried about Su Muyu's safety.

As expected, this kind of ruthless psychic appeared in the abyss battlefield this time.

Moreover, this person has completed the fusion of source essence and obtained a first-class rank, becoming even more dangerous.

Lu Heng climbed to the top of the mountain in the camp and lit the signal smoke again, hoping that Su Muyu could see it this time.

The location where the signal fire was lit last time was relatively low-lying, and if there were mountains blocking the view, it might indeed be impossible to see it.

After lighting the signal fire, Lu Heng stood on the top of the mountain and took out the animal skin map to check it.

at this time.

From the direction of Mount Ankale came an eagle's cry that pierced the sky.

Lu Heng quickly looked up and found a sky falcon appearing in the distant sky.

Although the distance was a bit far, Lu Heng still recognized it at a glance. It was Su Muyu's reconnaissance eagle.

The scout eagle flew into the sky and circled, but did not fly towards this side. Instead, it immediately dived down.

When Lu Heng saw this situation, he frowned and immediately activated the Wind Step, rushing towards Mount Ankale.

"Where are you going?" Lin Zeyu shouted when he saw Lu Heng suddenly running so fast.

"Save people." Lu Heng replied without even turning his head, and rushed straight towards the reconnaissance eagle.

Since the reconnaissance eagle appeared, with Su Muyu's perception, she would definitely be able to see the wolf smoke.

If it was safe, she would definitely send a scout eagle to lead the way.

However, the scout eagle just circled in the sky and dived down again. There was only one possibility: a battle was going on over there and she didn't have time to send the scout eagle over.

Lu Heng ran at full speed, reaching a speed of 36 meters per second, over 120 kilometers per hour, comparable to a speeding racing car.

Lin Zeyu hurriedly called the other three and chased after him, but they lost him in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the speed that humans can achieve?" Lin Zeyu panted, watching Lu Heng's back disappear at the end of the horizon, his cheeks twitching continuously.

……

at the same time.

In the stone forest at the foot of Mount Ankale, two girls are fighting against demons.

One of them is Su Muyu.

The other one has a strange appearance. He is only 1.2 meters tall, his skin is slightly blue, and his ears are slightly pointed. He is not a human, but an anti-demon tribe from the abyss world.

In the library of Quenching Castle there is a book recording the tribes of the Abyss, which records this tribe called the Banser people.

The average height of the Bansair people is just over one meter, so this girl is of normal height.

At this moment, the girl from the Bansel tribe was swinging a large iron hammer to attack the approaching demons. While attacking, she shouted in the common language of the Abyss: "Come on! You servants of the evil god!"

Su Muyu picked up a shield and a wooden stick, blocking the attacks while controlling the reconnaissance eagle to attack the demon.

When teleporting into the abyss battlefield.

The place where Su Muyu appeared was different from that of others. He was not locked up with other psychics, but with the girl from the Bansel tribe.

They used invisibility to escape together, and were chased by demon servants all the way. When they fled to the foot of Mount Ankale, their invisibility was discovered and they were forced to fight.

This girl from the Bansel tribe was very brave and had strong fighting ability. She swung a big hammer and beat the demons so hard that they dared not approach her.

Su Muyu belongs to the [Prism Tower Shield], which blocks the black magic energy waves emitted by the Winged Demon Wizard for her, and then controls the reconnaissance eagle to entangle the Winged Demon Wizard, not giving it the opportunity to continue casting spells.

However, there were too many demons around, and if they continued like this, the two wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Fortunately, the demon servants treated them both as source sacrifices and did not kill them when they attacked, otherwise the situation would have been much worse.

The scout eagle entangled the Winged Demon Wizard for several minutes, and was finally blown up by an energy wave.

The Winged Demon Wizard freed his hands and cast a spell to attack the two again.

at this time.

Lu Heng jumped down from the cliff like a god, drew out the Aurora Blade, and slashed out a swirling sword light, which pierced into the abdomen of the Winged Demon Wizard and cut it in half.

As soon as the Winged Demon Wizard died, the other demon servants scattered.

"Come on! Come on!" The female warrior of the Bansel tribe was still waving her hammer and shouting, looking as if she was still not satisfied.

Lu Heng was slightly surprised when he saw this Bansel female warrior who was only 1.2 meters tall.

There are more than just demons in the abyss world, and the species are very diverse.

For example, the Dark Iron Dwarves of the Abyss and the Banser people are all humanoid creatures with high intelligence.

According to the information I knew before my rebirth, there is indeed a non-demon race living near Mount Ankare, called the Bansel people.

In the library of Quenching Castle, there is an ancient book that records this kind of Banser people.

This ethnic group had some connection with the Dark Iron Dwarves of the Abyss a few centuries ago.

According to records in ancient books, the Dark Iron Dwarves are good at forging and quenching, and the Bansel people once learned forging and quenching techniques from the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Later, as the abyss swallowed their world, the two ethnic groups were forced to migrate, and their civilization was on the verge of extinction several times.

In this abyss battlefield, if you want to stop the evil god's resurrection ceremony, the Banser tribe is the key.

If you think about it for a moment, you will know that since the Banser tribe can take root here, it means that they have the strength to fight against the evil god's servants.

Therefore, if you want to stop the evil god's resurrection ceremony, you need to establish good relations with the Bansel tribe.

After repelling the demon, the female warrior of the Bansel tribe reached out and clapped her hands with Su Muyu to celebrate the victory: "You are a brave warrior. We can definitely become best friends."

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, Su Muyu has already accomplished the task of establishing good relations with the Banser tribe.
