Chapter 37 Humans in the Abyss

Chapter 37 Humans in the Abyss
The messy island in the abyss, with some grass and trees adding mottled green to this isolated island in the abyss.

A group of skeleton warriors were busy digging a foundation about ten meters long and wide. The basalt base would be conducive to adding rock-strengthening magic in the future.

In the distance, there is a mountain of building stones piled up. The obsidian-colored boulders are of uniform specifications. This kind of stone is hard, heavy, and has good bearing capacity for magic arrays. They can be regarded as the main materials for constructing fortifications in today's human society.

Mu Hua squatted on the edge of the island and fished. The parasol beside him and the small stool under his butt seemed to promote the ritual sense of fishing.

Some broken trees can be seen behind Mu Hua. They were the plants he transplanted to the Abyss Island. Unfortunately, he had previously "fished out" a bull monster from the abyss, and these transplanted plants were also destroyed because of the bull monster's madness.

The monsters in the abyss are all "lunatics". Although they usually cannot even use their own innate magic, those monsters with naturally strong physiques also give Mu Hua a headache.

Normally, the Bull Monster can only be considered a mid-level monster.

But the bull monster that was fished out of the abyss had a physique that was seriously beyond the standard.

Mu Hua fired the three level seven exorcism bullets he got from Old Morey at it before finally killing it.

The blind raven performed a great job in dealing with the thick-skinned and thick-fleshed bull monster, but some transplanted plants on the island were also badly destroyed.

So, in anger and frustration, Mu Hua decided to push his advantages to the limit and brought in a bunch of building materials. He wanted to build a bunker!
The trembling fishing rod made Mu Hua's heart tighten again. Fishing in the abyss is great, but the difficulty in predicting what level of monsters he will catch also makes Mu Hua nervous.

I have become more or less accustomed to the randomness of the release of Abyss Monsters.

Mu Hua reeled in the line at a steady speed. Earlier, he had taken great pains to get rid of a hooked Minotaur. Although they both had bull heads, the maze's ravaging demons and the bull monsters were creatures from a completely different dimension.

With the sound of "squeaking" as the wire was reeled in, a dull, zombie-like head popped out from the abyss.

"Human?" Mu Hua stopped reeling in the line but did not rush to raise the rod. He was surprised that a human was fished out from the abyss.

"Woo~, the lost souls, should they be what you humans call cultists? They are the dregs who sold their souls to the devil and eventually betrayed their masters." Zhou Yi said beside Mu Hua.

"The Lost Souls mainly use the power of demons to fight. Since they have been exiled, they should not pose any threat to you."

Monday was uncertainly evaluating the cultist that Mu Hua had lured out. Seeing that the cultist was relatively well behaved, Mu Hua flicked his fingers and used the identification technique he had acquired earlier on the cultist.

Target: Human. Level: 123.

Life: 80%
Magic: 100%
Constitution: 50
Intelligence: 278
Spirit: 70
Magic adaptability: B
"Roar~!" Along with the monster-like roar, the attributes displayed by the appraisal spell disappeared in an instant like a collapse.
As Mu Hua used the identification technique on the cultists, the originally dull and numb cultists were instantly enraged by Mu Hua.

Identification is amazing, but it is not as convenient as you think.

This magic that detects the biological attributes will be instantly detected by the other party. As long as the other party resists, the identification technique will not be able to be maintained.

This is a spell that is mainly used to identify equipment, plants, and inanimate objects. Not to mention using it on humans, even if it is used to spy on some creatures with low intelligence, it will often anger the other party.

But for Mu Hua, these monsters in the abyss are also full of aggressiveness after leaving the abyss, so it doesn’t matter whether they are angry or not. At least he is sure that he should be able to deal with this cultist.

Pull out the pole, lift it up, and throw the cultist in the Abyss Sea far away to the Abyss Island.

The cultist escaped from the Abyss Sea, with only tattered strips of cloth hanging on his body. These strips of cloth should be his original clothes or even equipment.

Although the expression on his face is ferocious, the cultist's body is well-proportioned. Is he a human being?
Mu Hua was really wondering: what did he eat in the abyss to maintain such a healthy body?

After being freed from the abyss, the cultist stood up and immediately intended to attack the skeleton warrior who was digging a hole not far from him.

These abyss creatures are quite silly. They are very aggressive, but they lock on to their targets based on the principle of "hammering whatever they see", and will give priority to attacking the targets closest to them.

"Roar~" With his back arched and arms hanging down, the cultist roared threateningly at the skeleton warrior.

"Bang!" After a shot in the head, the skeleton warrior continued to dig the hole. Mu Hua put down the rifle in his hand. The cultist collapsed to the ground with blood and brains.

Mu Hua likes spellcasting abyssal monsters, or creatures? The cultists' intelligence of more than 200 is like a discarded attribute in Mu Hua's eyes. In a sense, the enemy has lost the ability to cast spells. Mu Hua didn't even let the skeleton warriors participate in the battle.

Archery LV3 is also a new skill acquired by Mu Hua, but this skill does not come from a skill stone.

Including a 'primary alchemy' skill. These two skills were recently developed by Mu Hua himself.

After leaving the courtyard of Bear Pig Town, Mu Hua returned to the hotel and moved all the alchemical equipment in the suite to the Abyss Island.

He practiced shooting and made potions from time to time. After adding these two skills to his attributes, Mu Hua used the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone he had recently acquired to improve his archery by two levels.

The elementary alchemy was rather confusing. After upgrading to a higher level, there were only some potion recipes, but they were not exclusive recipes. One still needed to figure out the proportions by oneself. Mu Hua simply put it aside.

With improved archery skills, Mu Hua's current shooting level is comparable to that of the professional gunners in the garrison regiment, and his archery skills cover a wide range, including the use of firearms, bows and crossbows and even throwing weapons.

After killing the cultist with one shot, Mu Hua held his "Jam Sweetheart" and prepared to collect the cultist's body.

Um, 'Sweetie Jam', a sniper rifle.

This is Mu Hua's other soul-specific weapon. As for this somewhat fresh name, looking at the red and white brain matter on the cultist's forehead, it is obvious that this is the meaning of the name Mu Hua gave to this gun.

Mu Hua not only condensed the "Jam Sweetheart", but also made a matching bullet. It dissipates after one shot and can be materialized repeatedly. It is an alternative special weapon that can only be fired by Jam Sweetheart.

Mu Hua likes to play with guns, but it is undeniable that the upper limit of guns is not that high. There may be many ways to improve the power of bullets, but the range and speed of bullets are relatively constant.

In mid- and low-end combat forces, firearms are still weapons with absolute deterrence, but in high-end combat forces, bows and arrows are the mainstream long-range weapons.

Because bows and arrows can cooperate with blood and energy, but do not have sufficient speed, let alone those combat skills involving bows and arrows, even throwing weapons may be more threatening than firearms.

Turn the cultist's body over so that he is lying on his back.

The cultist was almost naked, so it was obviously impossible to find any equipment on him.

There were obvious traces of a ring on the finger of his right hand, but unfortunately the ring was gone. Seeing that there was no unexpected gain, the halo dissipated and the corpse turned into dust in an instant.

Folding penetration skill stone*1, Hundred Refining Secret Stone*4, Intelligence Crystal*2, Soul Dust*20, Philosopher's Stone*0.2.

For a cultist with a lot of money, it was no longer surprising to Mu Hua that the corpses of living things could be melted into attribute crystals. However, it was quite surprising that four of the Hundred Refined Secret Stones were produced directly.

Folding Penetration is a characteristic magic, belonging to the thunder magic. It can increase the penetration ability of thunder magic. Absorption requires an intelligence of 100. For the time being, Mu Hua can only throw it into the storage space to gather dust.

After obtaining the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone, Mu Hua did not continue to upgrade his archery skills. His marksmanship should be enough for the time being. Mu Hua gave the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone to the Skeleton Summoning.

Skeleton Summoning LV10, summon up to skeleton warriors to accept control. Level Up Requirement: Skeleton Transformation.

Mu Hua was stunned for a moment. As expected, the tenth-level skeleton summoning could summon ten skeleton warriors, but if he wanted to increase its level again, he needed to learn a magic called "skeleton transformation" as a prerequisite and merge with it.

Skeleton transformation magic is not considered a rare magic. As for magic books, they should be sold in the Adventurer's Guild or libraries in some big cities.

After putting away the fishing rod, it should have been dawn outside. He threw a philosopher's stone to Zhou Yi and left him on the Abyss Island to practice, while Mu Hua teleported him back to the hotel.

Low-level monsters usually don't have the patience to practice, and their entire lives they swing between fighting and escaping.

But today, Monday is very motivated to practice. By eating the Philosopher's Stone, it feels that it has embarked on the road to becoming Cerberus.

Although, it is still a demon beast for the time being...
