Chapter 448: Abyssal Beast
These creatures are not completely without wisdom. On the contrary, they have a ferocious and cunning instinct. They often lurk in the shadows, spying on their prey, waiting for the best opportunity to launch a fatal attack. The Demon City is even more terrifying because of these abyssal creatures. They are part of the dark soul of the city, patrolling and guarding this land of evil and chaos ruthlessly. From a distance, they are like ominous shadows swaying in the night, making people feel cold and afraid to get close.
Although Xingluo had seen these abyss creatures many times, he was still not used to them. He still preferred the environment of the main material plane. However, he could not leave for the time being. He could only adapt to the local customs and make his aura darker and gloomier to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
But this is a world where the strong prey on the weak after all. Even if Xingluo did not do anything, he still attracted the greed of others. Xingluo's several transactions were noticed by some abyss creatures, especially the one with a mouth full of fangs that dripped corrosive liquid. After Xingluo appeared, his eyes never left him.
Xingluo bought some alchemical materials as he walked. These dark materials were necessary for making cursed objects and performing dark rituals. So he followed the local customs and set up dark magic circles and traps. After all, space magic circles and traps were rare everywhere, and he didn't want to attract too much attention.
Xingluo's mental power was very strong. He discovered the abyss creature that had been stalking him at the first time. From the other party's mental and energy fluctuations, it could be seen that it was a being no less powerful than a great magician. Xingluo frowned. If this kind of creature was in the past, he could easily destroy it with just a magic. But now it had to be like this, which made him a little depressed. However, the great magician could just be his training object, so he was not in a hurry to get rid of him, but walked towards the deserted city wall. The abyss world was sparsely populated, and it was late at night, so the environment here was even darker. As Xingluo walked, he used his mental power to sense the other party's position. The abyss creature obviously didn't know that Xingluo had already discovered him. More corrosive liquid dripped from his mouth, and it seemed that he couldn't wait.
Xingluo frowned. Although he knew that his magic power was not yet that of a high-level magician, he still had the confidence to defeat the opponent. It was just that the opponent's appearance made him frown. Even if the creatures of the abyss are peaceful inside, their appearance will be intimidating. It is almost impossible for them to integrate into human society, unless they are high-level demons. They are much more handsome than most humans, and even have a bit more wild charm than elves. They are very popular with the nobles. It is often these handsome demons who lure humans into depravity. They absorb nutrients from human desires, continue to grow, and finally complete the transformation into great magicians. Although they are extremely powerful when they are born, if they want to truly become great magicians, they still have to constantly lure humans into depravity and obtain abyss energy from it.
Xingluo has been in the abyss for quite some time now, so he is very familiar with the basic knowledge. As he walked, he thought that he was quite confident about the upcoming battle. If he couldn't even defeat a great magician-level abyss creature, then he would not be able to survive in this abyss world in the future.
After Xingluo left the city, the abyss creature with fangs also followed him out eagerly. After coming out, the other party no longer concealed his desire. In this deep underground abyss, there lived a terrifying creature. It had a huge body, covered with thick black scales, and exuded a cold and damp breath. The most frightening thing was its huge mouth full of fangs. Each fang was as sharp as a knife, flashing a cold light. These fangs could not only tear the prey easily, but also secrete a highly corrosive liquid. This liquid kept dripping from its mouth. No matter whether it was rock or metal, as long as it was contaminated, it would be quickly corroded. Observing this abyss creature at such a close distance reminded Xingluo of its name, the Abyss Monster. It was one of the more common creatures in the abyss. Although their individual strength was not strong, they liked to live in groups. There were very few like this wandering in the city. After Xingluo recognized it, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he knew what kind of creature it was, his weaknesses would also be known.
This abyssal creature has a hollow and ruthless look in its eyes, but it can accurately detect any movement. Once it finds its prey, it will attack quickly, pouncing on its target with lightning speed. In addition to its sharp fangs and corrosive liquid, it also has strong and powerful limbs, and every swing will bring a fierce impact. In the darkness, this creature is almost invulnerable and is the overlord of the underground world.
According to legend, this creature was bred by an ancient and evil force, and carries an indescribable ominous omen. Anyone who encounters it will feel extremely terrified, and those who escape will invariably be left with unforgettable and lingering nightmares, so people call them abyssal beasts. Every time they appear, they will not only bring nightmares to people, but also permanent damage. Creatures like this can often be seen in the war with the abyss.
The weakness of this creature is that its mental power is too weak, its IQ is low, and its attack method is relatively simple, with only sharp claws and corrosive liquids. It is good at close combat and has a certain degree of resistance to darkness, which is also a characteristic of most abyss creatures. After all, long-term exposure to dark elements will also bring some resistance to magic.
When the Abyss Beast saw Xingluo stop, it let out a roar, and then quickly approached Xingluo. The sound of breaking through the air was heard, which showed that the opponent's movement speed was not slow. Xingluo did not sit and wait for death, but directly released the Shield of Darkness. Even when facing an opponent two levels higher than himself, Xingluo did not use time and space magic. He would not use it unless he was absolutely sure.
The claws slapped towards Xingluo's shield, and the shield shattered. Mysterious magic patterns suddenly lit up, which was within Xingluo's expectations. However, when the shield shattered, it also blocked the claw's falling speed. At the same time, the physical impact absorbed also rebounded, causing the opponent's claw to pause again. Xingluo had enough time to directly use the dark shadow movement, and at the same time left a cloud of poisonous fog on the spot, triple poisonous fog. Xingluo relied on his powerful mental strength and spellcasting ability to release three magic spells in succession, which also exhausted his magic power. The abyss beast in the poisonous fog fell into madness. Xingluo's poisonous fog was not the first-level poisonous fog of an ordinary intermediate magician.
