Chapter 4 Demon Abyss
The source of light is mysterious and mysterious.
Whenever the awakened person's awakening level increases, a mysterious light like this will be born in the body, which can be used to improve any of the three attributes.
Chen Gou followed the female knight's advice and added the power of the law source light to his intelligence.
I felt a mysterious force gathering from my body into my mind, my intelligence increased from nine to eleven, and I immediately heard the sound of the system.
"System prompt: The host's intelligence breaks through ten points, breaks through the first critical line, and obtains the additional ability of intelligence attribute: Mana sublimation increases the mana value for each point of intelligence attribute improvement from 15 points to 20 points!"
For the awakened person, each of the three attributes has different effects.
Strength is closely related to physical attack, life and physique, and under normal circumstances, every point of improvement will increase health by 25 points.
Agility determines attack, movement and reaction speed.
Intelligence is related to spirit, will, and mana. Usually, every point increased will increase the mana value by 15 points.
Chen Gou's intelligence attribute exceeded ten points. As the female knight said, it was improved after the attribute broke through the first critical line.
The passive ability of mana sublimation allows him to increase his mana by 5 points more than others every time he improves his intelligence.
"This may be the best additional ability for a mage, but as a summoner, I don't seem to have much demand for mana..."
"No, I only have one skill now: True Summoning. I really don't have to worry about not having enough mana, but it will definitely be a different matter when I have more skills in the future."
Chen Gou frowned at first, but soon relaxed.
To the awakened, mana is like the soldiers under a general. The more, the better.
Once the mana is used up, many powerful skills cannot be used, and no matter how powerful the awakened person is, they will be reduced to high-level infantry.
So in general, he is satisfied with the additional capabilities of this breakthrough in intelligence attributes.
Silent in the middle of the night, Chen Gou squinted half asleep for several hours. At dawn, he was woken up by the female knight to undergo a new round of training.
In the next few days, the five official members of Team Fayuan:
The main melee DPS and captain Edward Park, the tall human shield Mundo, the long-range DPS archer Han Feng, the outpost ranger Alan, and the female auxiliary Ye Qing who is proficient in various control and recovery skills.
Everyone took turns taking two days to give Chen Gou special training.
There is not much training related to combat skills, because it is difficult to transform an ordinary teenager into an elite warrior in just a few days.
What is more important is to cultivate his combat experience to always be vigilant, the most correct way to respond to sneak attacks, not to have the slightest mercy towards the enemy, etc.
Each one of them was explored through their own lives.
After ten days of training, Chen Gou's temperament has changed significantly. Although it is still a bit immature, it also has a bit of ruthlessness and determination.
It was on this day that the Fayuan team took him away from Panshi City. After the five Abyss cavalry rushed out of the city gate hole made entirely of steel, they plunged into the vast wilderness.
Along the way, Chen Gou was held in Ye Qing's arms and rode with him.
Even the soft leather armor could not completely block the softness coming from behind. The female knight looked ordinary, but her figure was really impressive.
From time to time, uncollected bones appear on the roadside, and farmland and working farmers can also be seen.
Although this world has been invaded by evil spirits, the evil spirits are still well restrained outside the fog controlled by humans.
However, for ordinary people living outside the giant city where the Awakening Knights are stationed, danger is still ever-present.
Demons always have various ways to break through the defense lines and infiltrate into human territory from within the fog.
Five gold team-level abyss knights ran all the way north.
Wherever he passed, whether they were pedestrians, caravans, or even other warriors affiliated with the Holy See, they all gave way and saluted him.
According to the law of the Holy See, anyone who obstructs the Knights of the Abyss outside the city and is killed will die in vain.
I don’t know what kind of horse the Knight of the Abyss is, but the fifty-kilometer journey actually took less than half an hour.
The five knights crashed into a heavily guarded castle like a black torrent.
It's not accurate to say it's a castle, it's more accurate to say it's a castle under construction.
The entire castle is clearly divided into the outer city and the inner city. The inner city wall is higher than the outer city, and it has been built for fifteen meters without stopping, and it continues to be taller and thicker.
It is like a castle on a large construction site, and the security is unprecedentedly tight.
It is really a sentry every three steps and a post every five steps. Even as a member of the Fayuan team, they went through many interrogations before approaching the inner city.
"What are these tight guards guarding against?"
The moment he climbed onto the city wall, Chen Gou was stunned.
I saw that the center surrounded by tall city walls was not a treasure or a palace, but a mist, a mist with blood-red light floating in the gray and black.
The mist rolled in, and a dark crack like an abyss loomed in it.
A soul-shattering aura permeated the air.
Chen Gou opened his eyes wide: "Could this be..."
"Demon Abyss!"
Edward Pu, the captain of the Fayuan team, wore a bronze mask on his face and said indifferently: "This is a new abyss that only appeared a month and a half ago. We suspect that the new type of evil demon you killed invaded from this abyss.
.”
Chen Gou asked: "Didn't you send someone in to verify it?"
"That's why we brought you here!"
The female knight Ye Qing glanced at the other teams of Abyss Knights not far away and the young people with them, and said:
"This abyss assessment will be conducted in this unknown abyss. You and five other assessors will enter it together. If you can survive for ten days and come back alive, you will pass."
"In addition, the more useful items and information you bring back, the higher your score will be, and the higher your final reward will be."
When Chen Gou heard this, he took a deep breath and entered a new and unknown abyss of demons to explore. This was completely using them as cannon fodder to explore the way!
"I told you, the Knights of the Abyss are not easy to join. Even if you want to quit now, it's too late."
Han Feng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Survive, survive at all costs, this is the only thing you have to do after entering!"
"If the aliens who created the soul-returning corpses really came out of this abyss, then the world behind the abyss is very likely to be a world that I am familiar with, based on the American TV series Bloodlines. In this way, I have a lot of innate abilities in it.
The advantages……"
When he thought of this, Chen Gou's heart gradually calmed down, and he even felt a yearning for unknown challenges.
If he can't pass the abyss test despite being in the right place at the right time, it will prove that he really has no choice but to live as a salted fish.
Although thoughts were racing in his heart, his face remained calm as he asked: "The abyss seems to be a time and space passage. How do we come back after entering? Is there a passage back on the other side?"
"What is across the abyss crack cannot be determined, but what is certain is that there are usually no stable passages across the newly born abyss world, only free cracks that are constantly moving in the world.
This is the Void Stone, a law tool developed by the Great Priest of the Holy See. Under the condition of ensuring that there are no evil spirits nearby, pouring the power of law into it can directly create a temporary crack passage in the abyss world to allow you to return.
.
But the Void Stone needs at least ten days to collect the time and space coordinates of the abyss world."
Chen Gou said in a deep voice: "So, ten days is only the shortest period in theory that we can return, not a certain time when we can come back, right?"
"That's right, don't think it's cruel. If you want to blame it, blame it on you being born in this era. Since the evil invasion thirty years ago, every Abyss Knight was born like this."
When the female knight handed the void stone that looked like a blue diamond to Chen Gou, she said in a rare joking tone: "After all, we have met each other. I hope you can come back alive. Maybe you will be among those big shots in the future.
"
Chen Gou followed her gaze and saw three figures wearing holy robes or gorgeous armor suspended in the void above the fog of the abyss.
His whole body was shrouded in light, and his face could not be seen at all, like three little suns that could not be looked directly at.
Members of Team Rufayuan could only look up.
These are the real giants of the Holy See of the Covenant!
The man in the middle raised his hand and pressed down, and the whole castle fell silent for an instant.
Everyone is waiting attentively.
A majestic voice came from the light, echoing under the sky.
"The 1,156th abyss assessment of the Rock Temple of the Holy See will begin in ten minutes... All assessors are ready to take their positions!"
After the words fell, the five members of the Fayuan team led Chen Gou to the overpass across the fog of the abyss above the city wall. There was a circular platform in the center of the overpass.
The remaining five examiners were also brought up, and behind each of them was an abyss knight team similar to "Fa Yuan".
Moreover, the members of these teams obviously know each other.
"Edward, why did you choose a kid who is not yet an adult?" Someone glanced at Chen Gou and laughed.
When the female knight Ye Qing saw a young man with blond hair standing behind him, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, he sneered, "Didn't you choose someone who didn't even have all his hair?"
"That's different. He is a direct member of the Arslan family. Despite his young age, he is not weak in strength. This time he is here for the top spot."
Many people around looked surprised. Arslan is a large clan in Rock City. There are many powerful people in the clan, and they are a force that cannot be ignored.
Captain Edward of Fayuan had no expression on his face, and the rest of the team also laughed it off and stopped talking.
