Chapter 177: Chapter 176: The Monster Tide Within the Abyssal Rift

Of course, Zi Liyuan was not at all intimidated by these guys.

He even wished for these fools to come knocking, bringing him Contribution Value.

That’s why he didn’t coddle the opposition, directly firing off a Bone Spear.

As for whether it would instantly kill the other party and cause a malicious killing incident, he had no worries.

Do you really think the teachers at Dragon Academy are just eating their fill?

Having a group of freshmen deal with a terrifying thing like the abyss rift is purely sending them to their deaths!

So from the beginning, when Zi Liyuan was using the Eye of Death to scout, he noticed that thirty-two individuals with exceptionally strong life forces were following them all along.

What’s more to say?

What Zi Liyuan didn’t expect was that a Bone Spear at LV19, with a high damage of over 13 million, failed to kill the eggshell knight and smoked out the hidden academy teacher.

At the same time, he could see that the Holy Shield initially shattered by the Bone Spear had resisted 10 million in damage, and the three layers of protective shields that followed obviously employed earth elemental protection scrolls.

“If an eggshell can be that tough, then you can take the lead in scouting. Any objections?”

Zi Liyuan looked contemptuously at the eggshell knight who had stuck their neck out, his eyes coldly sweeping over the teams that had been instigating trouble just moments ago.

Since peaceful coexistence with these nobles’ descendants was impossible anyway, what did he have to be cautious about?

Not convinced, are you?

Just beat them down until they kneel and sing of conquest, and that’s that!

Dead silence fell over the field, the freshmen who were agitating just now looked at each other but dared not speak out, fearing a senseless attack from this guy.

That was a Holy Shield just now, whose defensive strength is the best among its class, or else it wouldn’t be included in the Holy Knight’s curriculum as a special technique to be taught.

Yet it was shattered by a single Bone Spear. Keep in mind that the Bone Spear, condensed from death energy, is inherently suppressed by Holy Light Power.

In other words, the Holy Shield’s resistance against the Bone Spear should have been doubled due to attribute suppression. Still, it shattered in one hit, which was quite absurd.

None of the instigators present dared to assure that they could withstand a Bone Spear.

The eggshell knight turned to look at his comrades who had come with him, only to find their gazes evasive, which infuriated him.

They had agreed to suppress the opposition together, but after being intimidated by a Bone Spear, they promptly sold him out.

However, noticing Zi Liyuan’s increasingly impatient look, the eggshell knight dared not wager if the other party would attack again.

You see, the Holy Shield skill is unmatched in defense, but it also has a long cooldown period of half an hour. Right now, he had no confidence to withstand another of the opponent’s attacks.

So the eggshell knight slowly made his way to the stable rift in space.

If it was humiliating, so be it. When overpowered, one had to accept it!

But he remembered this grudge, promising to retaliate for this public humiliation once his power increased!

What the eggshell knight thought didn’t matter to Zi Liyuan at all.

In the short time that followed, using the Eye of Death, he detected many things.

For instance, twenty teachers had already stealthily infiltrated the abyss rift.

Clearly, they were there to clean up potential threats, and whether they had other goals was anyone’s guess.

Watching the eggshell knight enter the abyss rift, Zi Liyuan couldn’t be bothered with a bunch of noisy fools. Instead, he steered the Spectral Knights into the rift.

In just a few minutes, 2000 Spectral Knights passed through the abyss rift, all entering the abyss.

And through the connection with the Skeletons, Zi Liyuan naturally sensed the vague situation on the other side.

On the other side was also a ravine, but compared to the picturesque landscape here, the environment there was much more hostile.

In the gloomy sky, streaks of crimson lightning occasionally flashed, staining the sky with a blood-red hue.

The cracked earth was strewn with charred stones; and from the densely fissured ground, flames would occasionally leap forth.

In areas with concentrated cracks, lakes of fire had even formed.

Desolate, scorching, dark… it was extremely oppressive to behold.

The Skeletons that had come to the abyss rift scattered a little to explore the surroundings.

However, as soon as they touched the fire spurting from the ground, they would immediately burn and then turn into ashes in the flames, not even leaving behind bone ash.

Within just a few minutes, in Zi Liyuan’s perception, over a hundred Spectral Knights had died.

“Let’s go; there’s no immediate danger on the rift’s side,”

With Zi Liyuan leading the way, Shen Yurou and the other two followed without hesitation, then came Li Fengwen and his group.

Upon entering the abyss rift, they were greeted by a blast of scorching air laced with the smell of sulfur, which was extremely uncomfortable.

“What a terrible environment, the temperature around here must be over sixty degrees; the ground is hot underfoot,” Wang Fatty complained.

“This abyss rift connects to a plane that might be Inferno-like, so be careful. We may encounter demons, devils, and other high-level Inferno creatures,”

Demons and devils are high-order beings innate with supernatural powers, their base level starts at rare, and they often ascend to be boss-level within the same template upon reaching adulthood.

In the abyss rift, the strength of demons and devils is even greater, a result of the plane’s rules augmenting their might.
