Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 322 - 182: Fists, Eyes, and Brain_3

But after hearing about the additional resource rewards, he agreed as well.

The development of the Mechanician profession especially requires resources, somewhat similar to the [Duo Bao Demon Venerable] branch of the Demon Cultivator; before constructing powerful mechanical creations, it is almost equivalent to a blank slate profession.

Finally, after Chu Xiu subtly found out that Zhang Qingshan was also preparing to enter the Abyss, he extended an invitation to him.

Although this choice was somewhat unexpected, given the powerful destructive force of the Giant Dragon, it was not suspicious, especially since Chu Xiu deliberately delayed for a while, waiting until the other General Tiers were chosen by the King Tiers before issuing the invitation.

And Zhang Qingshan, upon hearing that this was a rehearsal for the Ancient Trials, unhesitatingly agreed to join because of his mindset full of grand narratives.

Thus, the four-person exploration team was formally formed.

...

A day later.

At the edge of the deep pit, over a dozen fire cannons and hundreds of mortars were relentlessly pouring ammunition into the bottom of the pit.

Amidst the deafening roar, bright sparks occasionally flickered in the vast pit that seemed to devour all light.

At the same time, a large number of drones, operated by support professions, carried lighting equipment deep into the Abyss. These drones formed an interwoven detection network, capable of transmitting scanned images to terminals in real-time.

The government’s approach was to first use detection radars to scan the rough terrain, then deploy drones to scout facilities that might contain military defenses or corruption creature gathering points, and, once confirmed, clear them with precise fire cannon strikes.

After nearly a day of large-scale bombardment, the defensive forces in the military base had been significantly reduced. In the images transmitted by the drones, corrupted creatures, turned into bloody pulp, were scattered everywhere, with severed limbs visible all around.

"Although after a day of unrelenting bombardment, the enemy’s defensive forces have suffered considerable losses, the deep pit is too large. With an area comparable to a small city, our firepower alone hasn’t truly hurt their core."

"So, currently, we’ve cleared out a few safe zones, but the further exploration must be handed over to you all."

Qin Xiang said solemnly, in front of him were Chu Xiu and four teams led by three King Tiers.

"Your task is to explore the lower regions starting from four different areas and lay the foundation for subsequent support teams to advance further. Meanwhile, detect and gather calamity intelligence as much as possible, such as location, attributes, abilities, etc., to prepare for the best possible elimination."

As Qin Xiang spoke, he handed each of the four a terrain recorder, which could automatically scan the nearby terrain and upload data.

There was also a special communication artifact, capable of long-distance communication while also locating its holder, facilitating information sharing and mutual support between teams.

"Please remember, the primary mission this time is reconnaissance. Do not act rashly; headlight actions should wait until the main forces enter and stabilize the situation."

Faced with Qin Xiang’s instructions, the four nodded in agreement. High Tier creatures usually possess extremely difficult special abilities, so information is crucial in High Tier battles, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Moreover, delving into the nest means potentially encountering massive ambushes of corrupted creatures at any time. If any King Tier opponents were to pin them down, even King Tier Awakened could potentially be exhausted to death. Comparatively, waiting for firepower support before acting is more prudent.

After instructing everyone, Qin Xiang approached Chu Xiu personally and handed him a small electronic device.

"I will also lead a team in shortly, and we won’t be far from you."

"This is a shield activated by a King Tier Mechanician, which can be triggered with a small amount of energy to form a solid protective barrier. Even a King Tier creature must expend effort to break it. Upon activation, it will alert me and transmit your location."

"If you encounter any danger, activate this device immediately, and remember not to risk it."

"Understood." Chu Xiu nodded, taking the device and giving it a glance.

It was a King Tier [Treasure] artifact, evidently of great value, showing how much the government valued him.

After Chu Xiu took it, Qin Xiang said no more, only leading his subordinates to the area he was responsible for. Meanwhile, Chu Xiu gathered his team and stood on the back of Zhang Qingshan’s Giant Dragon.

With the Giant Dragon’s sturdy hind legs pushing back, amidst a shower of debris, the enormous creature, five meters tall and over ten meters long, leaped into the air, spread its wings, and glided toward the bottom of the pitch-black deep pit.
