Chapter 573: Chapter 275: Titan Giant Mechanism 2

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

These monstrous birds collided with the protective shield beside Chu Xiu at supersonic speed, instantly exploding into a large cloud of blood mist. Chu Xiu pointed forward, and suddenly a swamp-like dark abyss appeared behind him, from which flying swords rose, condensing into a thousand in the blink of an eye!

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

These flying swords transformed into streaks of sword light shooting towards the distant monstrous birds. In an instant, the space in front of Chu Xiu was covered by a rain of swords, turning into a realm of slaughter. Each monstrous bird was pierced through, screaming as they fell! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

In just a few breaths, the entire flock of monstrous birds was slaughtered clean, leaving not a single survivor.

However, there was not a trace of relief in Chu Xiu’s eyes, instead, there was a tinge of solemnity.

It had only been ten minutes, and this was already the third wave of attacks he had encountered.

"No wonder, even with King Tier Awakened present, these people dare not venture far. The monster density in this Corpse Demon World has indeed reached an unimaginable level, being attacked even at ten thousand meters high."

The three consecutive waves of attacks he had just encountered were all led by King Tier monsters! And each had a large number of minions! Coupled with well-coordinated combat techniques, an ordinary King Tier Awakened indeed faces the risk of falling if careless!

"This is the Corpse Demon World in its late stages! No wonder it’s a Level Seven dangerous world!"

Chu Xiu waved his hand, dispersing the demonic qi, causing the remains of the monstrous birds and flesh stuck nearby to scatter in all directions.

Unfortunately, this place was merely a simulated trial, and this flesh and soul could not be used as artifacts for refining the Soul Banner or Corpse Refinement. Otherwise, Chu Xiu would have spent some time hunting the powerful beings nearby.

With a casual wave, Chu Xiu continued towards his target.

This nonchalant action caused the three Awakened beside him to widen their eyes in shock.

The Flying Demon Beasts were the hardest type of Abyssal Monster to deal with. Their extremely fast flying speed allowed them to retreat leisurely after attacking, inflicting heavy losses on the base with each assault.

Unexpectedly, in front of this mysterious Awakened here, King Tier Flying Demon Beasts were as vulnerable as paper tigers.

This gave everyone a deeper understanding of Chu Xiu’s power, and somewhat diminished their despair about the Blood Demon Army.

Unfortunately, very soon, everyone’s expressions turned serious again.

"No, no, still nothing!"

"How can this be? It’s only been three years since contact was lost, how could all the ammunition stock disappear, as if... someone deliberately moved it all away."

The Awakened accompanying them looked grim, murmuring to themselves.

In the past three hours, they had searched five bases in a row but found no usable supplies!

Every base had turned into a nest of blood and flesh, with mutative growths engulfing the steel base completely.

Chu Xiu was not too surprised and merely gave Aurora and the other two a thoughtful glance: "So you managed to last this long relying on luck, huh."

Aurora’s expression changed slightly: "What do you mean, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Xiu said: "Judging by your reactions, it seems you haven’t fought the Blood Demons yet and are unaware of the horror these creatures present."

"Real Blood Demons aren’t those mindless lower-tier zombies. Their cunning is no less than humans, and of course, they would use any weapons advantageous to them."

"I’ve seen a Blood Demon once, using the power of a nuclear bomb to ambush several powerful Awakened. Clearly, those weapons and ammunition were taken by the Blood Demons who breached this place."

"In the future, when facing enemy attacks, don’t be surprised if they bring out bombers to drop tactical nuclear weapons."

Chu Xiu’s words caused the three to turn pale. They once thought that the millions-strong Blood Demon Army was despair-inducing enough, only to now realize this was just the tip of the iceberg of the enemy’s power. The base’s decade-long experience in countering Abyssal Monsters might no longer apply.

If they really dropped a nuclear weapon, the entire base city would be obliterated—how could they possibly fight back?

"So, what do we do now?" one person already blatantly panicked.

"Stay calm!" Aurora admonished sharply, "Blood Demons are indeed strong, but the defenses our base has built over ten years are not for show. If you truly believe the base city is doomed, you can leave with Mr. Chu when the time comes."

"For now, focus on completing the mission!"

Aurora’s authoritative presence silenced the other two, and they continued searching the nearby military base.

However, the more they searched, the more the despairing mood thickened, for every military base had long been conquered by the Blood Demons, becoming nests of mutated flesh!

And when they returned empty-handed from the eighth base, preparing to head to the ninth, Chu Xiu suddenly halted, frowning as he looked into the distance.

At the end of their sight, a gray barrier connected with the sky appeared, seemingly slicing the space in half, with chaos behind the gray barrier.

"This is..." Aurora and her companions were dumbfounded, having never seen such a phenomenon.

With just a cursory glance, Chu Xiu decisively changed direction: "It might be a special method Blood Demons use to prevent our escape, or perhaps some kind of mysterious phenomenon."

"Mysterious phenomenon..."

The other two accepted this explanation, only Aurora lowered her head, mulling over these four words, her brow furrowed.

This was clearly not a mysterious phenomenon, Chu Xiu knew very well he had encountered the "boundary".
