Listening to the continuous notification sounds, Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.
A huge drop!
As expected of a rare mutated monster, it drops so many things!
He immediately checked them.
Rare Crystal (Mental-type): A crystal containing strange Mental Energy, which can be used to make items, accessories, weapons, etc. It can also be absorbed through certain methods to enhance and expand one's Mental Domain.
Bloodlion Ring (Common, Excellent Grade): After wearing, Strength +10, Stamina +10, Mental Resistance +10.
Wearing Rank: LV10.
Not bad, not bad.
Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied. After putting the Bone Spear back into his backpack, he then looked at Liu Shi: "It's alright now. You should still be able to walk, right?"
...
Liu Shi sat on the ground, staring at him blankly.
Jiang Yuan: "?"
Could it be that her mind was destroyed and she turned into an idiot?
He waved his hand again, "Hey."
Liu Shi suddenly snapped out of her shock and daze, stammering, "I, I'm fine. Tha, thank... Thank you for saving, saving me..."
That's good. I'm leaving. The exit is in that direction. Be careful on your own.
Jiang Yuan said, pointing her in a direction, and then intended to leave.
Seeing him about to leave, Liu Shi immediately became anxious and couldn't help but shout, "Please, please wait a moment."
Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
All my teammates are dead. I can't get out by myself. Can I please, no, can you please take me out with you!
Jiang Yuan was about to refuse. How refreshing it was to kill monsters alone; why bother with a burden?
But the woman in front of him immediately said,
I, I can pay you one million, no, two million as a reward!
Deal!
...
Taking Liu Shi from the Abyss's depths back to the Abyss's entrance, any Rank 1 Vicious Beast they encountered along the way, no matter what type, basically couldn't withstand a single punch from Jiang Yuan.
They were all instantly killed.
This once again deeply shocked Liu Shi, making her believe that the excessively young boy beside her must be a Rank 2 or even Rank 3 Transcendent Martial Artist!
At the same time, she was also very puzzled.
With the strength of the young man beside her, he could completely go to a Rank 2 or even Rank 3 Abyss. Why would he come to a small Rank 1 Abyss?
You have arrived at the Abyss exit. Do you wish to leave?
Yes.
After spending half a day bringing Liu Shi to the Abyss entrance, Jiang Yuan also crossed the spatial rift and exited the Abyss.
Killing more than a dozen Rank 1 Vicious Beasts only increased his experience bar from LV9 to LV10 by less than 10%.
It would take too much time to level up and Break through the Bottleneck to become a Rank 2 Martial Artist by killing monsters in a Rank 1 Abyss, which would not be worth the effort.
And there was also the agreement with Xu Yihan, and the competition with Thunder Martial Hall... It should be tomorrow.
As the space before his eyes shifted, blue skies and white clouds once again entered his sight.
Jiang Yuan's first Abyss journey thus ended.
...
Rank 1 Abyss entrance, Hunter's Plaza.
Several garrison soldiers were very surprised to see him walk out of the Abyss from a distance.
It's that kid from four days ago. He's actually still alive. I thought he had died long ago.
The girl who was with him is gone, she must have died.
I understand. The woman next to him was the female archer from the Huai River Guild. He must have clung to her to get out.
What did I say? How could a newcomer stay in the Abyss for four days?
Bah! I despise these handsome men who rely on women the most. I'm so envious.
The stationed soldiers, though safe and stable, were quite bored guarding here every day. So, when idle, they would pay close attention to the guilds and hunters coming and going from the Abyss entrance. They were very gossipy and thus had quite a bit of information, basically knowing everyone from the various guilds.
Under the very surprised gazes of the several stationed soldiers, Liu Shi, overjoyed and tearfully reborn, bowed to Jiang Yuan: "I never thought I would have the chance to see the blue sky again. Thank you so much this time."
The agreed two million reward has already been transferred to your account.
Jiang Yuan pulled up his panel to check, and indeed, two million had been added to his account.
He nodded, "Received."
Liu Shi didn't say much more, just bowed to Jiang Yuan again, then turned and left, wanting to go home and see her parents quickly.
Jiang Yuan also left the square directly and walked towards the tavern in the small town.
After eating roasted Vicious Beast meat for several days, he now urgently wanted to change his taste and eat something delicious.
Several stationed soldiers were confused.
She's bowing to that kid? Didn't she bring that kid out?
What exactly is going on here?
Jiang Yuan walked closer to the outpost. There was a magic circle underground that could detect whether passing Transcendent Martial Artists had been contaminated or possessed by Abyss monsters, also to prevent Abyss monsters from residing in their bodies and entering human society.
The gate also required a Merits card to pass through.
Jiang Yuan swiped his card, and the gate opened.
A stationed soldier glanced out of the corner of his eye, saw the glowing number on his card, and froze. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he realized he hadn't seen wrong, his eyes gradually widened, his mouth opened, revealing a shocked and horrified expression.
The magic circle glowed blue, and the machine emitted an AI voice.
No problem, you may pass.
Jiang Yuan left.
Hey, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
the old soldier asked.
The young stationed soldier said blankly, "He, he really went into the Abyss for the first time, right?"
Yeah, I personally let him in. What's wrong?
another person said.
I just saw his Merits points.
Oh? How many?
I guess 3 points.
Too many, I guess 2 points. Hahaha.
The young stationed soldier swallowed, "357..."
Everyone fell silent, dead quiet.
How many?
357.
The young stationed soldier said it again, confirming, "I guarantee I didn't see wrong."
The expressions of the several stationed soldiers became the same as his just now: dazed, confused, disbelieving.
This number is not particularly high. Many lone hunters can achieve it by killing monsters and trading resources and equipment.
Some veteran hunters, guild leaders, or wealthy people who buy points can even reach thousands or tens of thousands.
But the problem is...
He went into the Abyss for the first time!
From 0 to 357, that means he killed nearly three hundred Rank 1 Vicious Beasts in the Abyss!
Hiss...
Thinking of this, all of them uncontrollably gasped, their faces filled with horror.
My goodness, is this even human?
Where did this monster come from!
