Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 197 - 108: Ten Thousand Poison Island, Gu Abyss

Chapter 197: Chapter 108: Ten Thousand Poison Island, Gu Abyss

If the Ten Thousand Poison Association didn’t get involved, the strength of these six people would be enough to tip the balance and help the Divine Wind Gang defeat the Red Refining Gang.

But with the Ten Thousand Poison Association involved, their strength is on another level.

To help the Divine Wind Gang reclaim that resource point, unless the Canglan Pavilion sends out a main force regiment, which is clearly impossible.

Six people coming to assist is called helping out, but a main force would be seen as a strong dragon crossing the river to seize territory, which would cause other associations on Ten Thousand Poison Island to react negatively.

Zhang Chao smiled wryly and said:

"It seems that we won’t be earning this thousand gold."

Lin Qingfeng also smiled wryly, cupped his hands, and said:

"Sorry for making everyone come here in vain, each of you will receive 10 gold for travel expenses later."

Zhang Chao quickly waved his hand and said:

"That’s not right, how can we take the money when we haven’t done anything."

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly asked:

"By the way, what exactly is the resource point you are fighting over?"

Everyone looked at Lin Qingfeng, who said:

"It’s a small Gu Abyss."

"What is a Gu Abyss?"

"It’s where the earth veins converge on the nests of poisonous and Gu insects, a naturally occurring super Gu pit that can refine boss-level Gu creatures."

Su Yu asked in great surprise:

"A good thing like this and you’re not seizing it?"

Lin Qingfeng smiled wryly and said:

"Can’t seize it."

"Hmm....."

He pinched his chin and quietly asked:

"If you can’t take it, nor should it be left for the Ten Thousand Poison Gang to take advantage of, how about destroying it?"

Lin Qingfeng shook his head and said:

"Gu Abyss is naturally born, to destroy it you’d need to change the terrain. Do you have a way to change the terrain on a large scale?"

"Uh, seems like we can’t."

Transforming into a True Dragon could achieve it, but revealing the ability to transform into a True Dragon for such a thing isn’t necessary. This ace should be kept as a trump card, or for when the benefits are high enough.

But just as he finished speaking, a clear voice rang out:

"I can do it."

Everyone turned to look at Luo Qingchan, but she didn’t explain and resumed her aloof goddess demeanor.

It’s not that she’s particularly icy, but she does it on purpose.

After all, she’s too beautiful, with too many guys trying to chat her up usually, so acting aloof does reduce a lot of trouble.

Su Yu said to them:

"Since Qingchan can do it, let’s go destroy that Gu Abyss, so it ends up in no one’s hands."

Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Alright, since we can’t have it, we must not let the Ten Thousand Poison Gang have it."

"Help me destroy the Gu Abyss, and each of you will receive a reward of 50 gold."

Su Yu looked at the others and asked:

"Are you in?"

Zhang Chao smiled and said:

"Since we’re here, we’ll of course go."

"Then let’s get ready and set off."

Then Su Yu got some information from Lin Qingfeng about the Gu Abyss and its surroundings, as well as the general situation of the Red Refining Gang and the Ten Thousand Poison Gang, and Lin Qingfeng also provided a detailed map of Ten Thousand Poison Island.

An hour later, the well-prepared group of six set out.

Before leaving, he took out the Mirage Dragon Pearl to activate it, changing his current appearance into that of a young man who bore no resemblance to himself.

Turning around, he found that everyone else had changed their appearances as well, even Luo Qingchan used a special magical treasure to alter her looks, becoming a girl with an ordinary appearance, but her graceful figure and waterfall-like hair were still exceptionally striking.

Several of them took off into the sky, flying away from the Divine Wind Gang’s base, diving into the Wilderness Jungle.

In the air, there was a poisonous fog layer over a thousand meters thick, within the jungle there were poisonous insects and Gu creatures everywhere, they flew at a low altitude, frequently encountering swarms of flying Gu insects lunging at them.

At this moment, Su Yu would take out a Hundred Gu Banner, and with a wave, Golden-winged Flying Centipedes flew out to meet them, followed by his dual swords.

The dual swords continuously flickered, precisely picking off each flying Gu insect as it fell from the sky.

Li Qin came over curiously and asked:

"You actually know how to refine Gu? These Golden-winged Flying Centipedes are rare Gu insects, aren’t they?"

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"When I first arrived at Bhava-agra, I studied Gu insects for a while. Later, I discovered my talent for Swordsmanship and gave up, but the refined Gu insects were not lost."

Altogether, there were only 46 Golden-winged Flying Centipedes, and since they hadn’t been used for a long time, their level was only around forty, but ordinary Gu insects don’t have high levels, the flying Gu had only reached about twenty. Once they met the higher-level Golden-winged Flying Centipedes, it was no match, and they dropped like rain.

The others hadn’t refined any Gu, so they could only level up by using their magical treasures.

Fighting monsters along the way while traveling, by the time they reached the Gu Abyss located at Black Wind Ridge, many of the Golden-winged Flying Centipedes had even leveled up.

The team was just about to cross Black Wind Ridge when they were intercepted. A Fire Spirit Ship flew out from behind the mountain and blocked their path, and a squad leader in the center shouted:

"Ahead lies the territory of the Ten Thousand Poison Gang, no entry for idle persons."

Zhang Chao shouted loudly:

"Who dares to impersonate the Ten Thousand Poison Gang? You should know that the Ten Thousand Poison Gang is in the southern part of the island, and this is the northern part."

"Now, it is."

Zhang Chao continued to shout loudly:

"What trash dares to impersonate the Ten Thousand Poison Gang, hit them!"

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed, a ball of thunder and fire flew out and exploded, instantly causing the Flying Ship to tilt.

That person, furious, quickly summoned a Hundred Poison Asura Banner and waved it, spewing rainbow-colored poisonous flames.

"Go!"

Everyone successively summoned magical treasures and blasted forward. Su Yu also activated the Thunderbolt and charged, instantly breaking the Fire Spirit Ship’s shield. The magical treasure’s thunderfire exploded, catching the Ten Thousand Poison Gang off guard, killing a bunch on the ship, only three escaped, pointing at them and cursing:

"How dare you attack the Ten Thousand Poison Gang, you are dead..."

Two barely noticeable fine strands of Sword Qi twisted around from behind, and a head flew off.

Condensing Sword into Silk allows one to refine and thin the Sword Qi. The higher the skill, the finer and less noticeable the Sword Qi; players lacking strength may not even notice the swift and thin sword light.

A few moments later, they were taken down, and after collecting the spoils, the group continued forward.

Crossing over more than a dozen mountain peaks, they saw a basin among the mountains ahead. Through the lingering toxic mist, a sinkhole could be seen in the center of the basin, with clouds of thick multicolored poisonous mist gushing out.

There were many man-made structures along the sinkhole’s edge, and construction sites were around, with many craftsmen busy building various structures.

At the sinkhole’s edge, there were a large number of players gathered, and many craftsmen were constructing things.

Having built a Gu Pit before, Su Yu recognized that these structures were part of a Gu Pit, though this one was far larger than the one he built back then.

It was evident that the Ten Thousand Poison Gang intended to use this Gu Abyss to build an ultra-large Gu Pit dedicated to refining poisons and Gu insects.

It seems the patrol team they killed earlier had notified them before dying, as the Ten Thousand Poison Gang was now gathering their forces.

Su Yu glanced at everyone and asked:

"Should we act directly or what?"

Zhang Chao said in a deep voice:

"Act directly, let’s take out the guards first."

"Then let’s go."

Su Yu activated his double swords, with Mana surging, the two swords merged, transforming into a streak of light undetectable to the naked eye, heading towards the Gu Abyss.

The others, each wielding a Tier Seven Treasure, launched attacks towards the Gu Abyss.

A tremendous onslaught ensued, instantly destroying the construction sites. Many Ten Thousand Poison Gang players perished under the bombardment. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Ten Thousand Poison Gang’s combat players gathered by the Gu Abyss were thrown into chaos. Hundreds raised their magical treasures and flew up, unleashing all sorts of poisonous mist, Gu insects, and Flying Sword magical treasures towards them.

Zhang Chao took out a silk scarf and tossed it, quickly transforming into a light curtain over ten meters long, blocking the numerous attacks. He shouted sternly:

"Quick battle, I can’t hold on for long."

Su Yu immediately pressed his hand in the air, a Sword Barrier formed and spread across the battlefield, consuming 20,000 Mana in just over ten seconds to scatter a thousand Sword Barriers over the battlefield.

Once all the Sword Nets were laid, he made a grasping motion and gently shouted:

"Thousand-Layered Sword Net, Rise!"

The hidden Sword Barrier surfaced, with thousands of Sword Barriers interweaving. The Ten Thousand Poison Association players within found their magical treasures shattered, treasures knocked away, Flying Swords snapped, and numerous poisons and Gu insects plummeting down.

The Thousand-Layered Sword Net only lasted a few seconds, but nearly half of the several hundred Ten Thousand Poison Association players were already dead.

Seeing this, Zhang Chao laughed and exclaimed:

"Great skill!"

Beside him, Li Qin’s beautiful eyes focused on him, showing appreciation.

Luo Qingchan glanced at him expressionless, but the speed of her Flying Swords increased subtly, weaving quickly through the crowd. The magical treasures of Ten Thousand Poison Gang players, including poisonous insects, fell continuously, and a section of Flying Swords broke.

Though seemingly plain, the power showcased was even more dramatic than Su Yu’s.

For Su Yu to kill, he had to weave back and forth repeatedly, while she needed no such trouble, annihilating instantly upon contact, her lethality several times greater than his.

Her two Flying Swords were clearly different from the ones used before in sparring. Su Yu didn’t know their tier, but every time his gaze landed on those two Flying Swords, he could feel its sharpness cutting through even his gaze.

"They must be advanced Flying Swords, surpassing Tier Seven."

All six of them had advanced magical treasures, their strength far beyond what this group of Ten Thousand Poison Gang players could withstand. Within a few exchanges, the opponents couldn’t hold on and began fleeing.

Two minutes later, the Ten Thousand Poison Gang members were completely wiped out.

Su Yu looked down at the Gu Abyss from above, glanced, and remarked:

"The Ten Thousand Poison Gang seems a bit weak, did they not assign high-level experts to guard?"

Zhang Chao laughed and said:

"Experts surely exist, but they might just happen to be elsewhere right now."

Another companion named Yao Chenfeng nodded and said:

"The Ten Thousand Poison Gang is one of the three major guilds on Ten Thousand Poison Island, very powerful. Nearby, only the Red Refining Gang and Divine Wind Gang are small guilds, they wouldn’t dare intervene. Just a few guards are enough, the experts are probably out leveling up."

Su Yu nodded and said to them:

"Time waits for no one, let’s act now."

He looked at Luo Qingchan and asked:

"Are you going down alone or is someone accompanying you?"

"I don’t need to go down."

She reached out and summoned a spindle into her hand, saying:

"I need some time to activate this treasure to disrupt the earth vein, please guard me."

"Alright!"

Luo Qingchan ascended into the air, flying tens of thousands of meters high with a single breath. She tossed out a red spindle, and her delicate lips opened slightly, spraying vital energy onto it. Runes on its surface illuminated, immediately scattering an unsettling wave of energy.

The spindle rapidly expanded, soon transforming into an enormous structure thousands of meters tall resembling a red mountain range, densely covered with runes. As the mystical spindle slowly rotated, the runes on its surface brightened continuously, and its aura grew increasingly terrifying.

"An advanced war treasure?"

No further explanation was needed; merely seeing its size and the aura it exuded, everyone believed that once fully activated, its explosion would surely alter the earth vein.

They just didn’t know how large the scope of the eventual impact would be.
