60: Abyss Disguise

Ye Chen was completely unaware of the waves stirred up in the assessment room; at this moment, he was seated in the classroom, meticulously reviewing the gains and losses from the fierce battle he had just fought.

He had underestimated this assessment too much!

He originally thought that with his own strength, a slight effort would be enough to sweep through everything, and deploying those dependents would be completely sufficient.

The result was almost a disaster.

Fortunately, he finally added 300 Vampire Bats to secure the victory, otherwise, relying solely on the Worm Army which had lost its resurrection mechanism...

At the same time, this assessment also made Ye Chen understand the importance of terrain.

The terrain of the camouflage layer was too simple, mostly vast plains, lacking the protection of natural barriers, which severely limited tactical deployment.

If he could have utilized complex terrain to set ambushes and divide the enemy forces, the casualties this time would have been much lower.

There was also the limitation and coordination of troop types.

In this battle, the Worms relied entirely on burrowing to catch the enemy off guard, but they also lacked staying power.

Although they caused great panic among the enemy, without the cooperation of the Blood Bats, a single wave of surprise attack by the Worm Army would have been difficult to achieve great results.

If his troop types and attack methods were richer, and combined with more complete tactics, this battle would not have been so difficult.

After summarizing the gains and losses, Ye Chen gathered his thoughts and began to listen to the lecture.

Returning to the third year of high school, he couldn't waste time.

Now that he had the memories of a top student, liberal arts knowledge came easily, and with his current powerful strength, martial arts were also a breeze.

However, heroes across the world are as numerous as fish in a river; Dawn Middle School, this small fishpond, is merely a drop in the ocean when placed in the entire world.

Maintaining a humble heart is the only way to reach the end of the path to becoming a god.

...After finishing the day's classes, Ye Chen didn't wander around and went straight home.

The Abyss was still calm, with a bit more fighting atmosphere in each layer, as some dependents were drilling.

The first Pioneer Team had still not sent back any news, which made Ye Chen somewhat puzzled.

Even if the Pioneer Team couldn't obtain detailed information about the entire Otherworld, sending back scattered intelligence would be good.

Unlike now, where he knew nothing about the situation in the Otherworld.

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

If they still couldn't send back news tomorrow, he would send out another team.

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen focused his attention on the camouflage layer and began to think about how to arrange the terrain.

Currently, there were some mountainous areas on the camouflage layer; with a wave of his hand, the previously dispersed mountainous areas suddenly converged, and a winding mountain path cut through the canyon.

And on the mountains on both sides of the mountain path, layers of ambush platforms were arranged, providing an output environment for ranged units.

The mountain peaks were even filled with dense caves.

Some caves concealed Vampire Bats, Worms, and Shadow Hounds waiting for an opportunity, while others formed a confusing maze, luring the enemy deeper while dispersing their forces.

The various caves in the dense mountainous area formed a complex labyrinth, making it convenient for his own dependents to ambush and retreat.

The flat ground outside the mountainous area was not spared either.

Dense sinkholes covered the ground, making one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

These sinkholes formed killing labyrinths, and they were also the main domain of the Worm Army.

The labyrinth formed a spiderweb of tunnels, some were dead ends, and some were connected to other sinkholes.

And the connecting passage to the lower layer of the Abyss was hidden within these sinkholes!

If another enemy were to attack, these sinkholes alone would be enough to make the enemy lose their minds.

After exploring the sinkholes with great difficulty, the enemy would suddenly discover the connecting passage, thinking they had found the location of the God Domain Core.

But when they walked in to take a look, a terrifying Dragon was grinning at them.

After arranging the camouflage layer, Ye Chen also smiled with satisfaction.

This time, if he encountered an assessment again, he was confident he could annihilate the enemy with the smallest cost!

Even a third-tier commander entering the tunnels would be tormented to death.

Immediately after, Ye Chen turned his gaze to the Abyssal Will.

Currently, in the center of the first layer of the Abyss, the Abyssal Will was conspicuously placed there.

This was not appropriate!

What if some random dependents unexpectedly came here and launched an attack on the undefended Abyssal Will? Everything would be over.

Thinking of this, he modified the first layer of the Abyss.

He moved all the buildings to other places, leaving a large empty space.

The central area slowly sank, forming a huge deep valley.

The Abyssal Will also slowly sank to the bottom of the valley with the terrain, and then hid beneath the ground.

And in the center of the deep valley, another white light sphere replaced the position of the Abyssal Will, emitting an alluring light.

This was naturally another layer of camouflage.

Dense black mist filled the valley, obscuring all sight and perception.

Whistling Yin winds added a sense of eeriness to this strange environment.

Ye Chen also activated all the unused negative energy from before, filling the valley and further worsening the environment here.

After all the camouflage was completed, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to leave, a large number of light spots suddenly surged from underground and flew towards the outside of the deep valley.

These light spots were the Abyssal Will resurrecting the dead Worms.

The light spots flew out from the Abyssal Will, passed through the deep valley, appeared in each layer of the Abyss, and then condensed into the form of Worms.

Ye Chen frowned slightly; these light spots were like guiding lights, easily exposing the location of the Abyss.

But how could these light spots be hidden?

He asked the Abyssal Will and learned that the light spots could not be directly hidden, only camouflaged.

However, several 'resurrection points' could be branched off from the Abyssal Will.

These resurrection points could be placed at other locations at will, replacing the Abyssal Will in performing the resurrection duty.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up; with these resurrection points, the Abyss would no longer spray light spots, making it less likely to be exposed.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen spent 50,000 Abyss Power to purchase five 'resurrection points'.

He placed these resurrection points separately in the other layers of the Abyss and camouflaged them.

In the second layer's swamp area, the resurrection point turned into a pool of mud, and the light spots turned into swarms of flies flying out of the mud.

In the fourth layer's desert area, it turned into a weathered rock, with tiny sand particles flying away with the strong wind.

...After all the camouflage was completed, Ye Chen came to the fifth layer of the Abyss to check the learning progress of the Little Devils.

The fifth layer, the Shadow Abyss, was very suitable for dependents who cultivated Shadow Power.

Currently, Shadow Hounds, Shadow Assassins, and Little Devils lived here.

Since the last major battle and the absorption of a large amount of negative energy in the Waste Domain, the number of Little Devils had seen an explosive growth.

Currently, there were over four thousand Little Devils living in the Shadow Abyss.

Some Little Devils with higher talent had already mastered entering the shadow early, becoming even more terrifying existences than Shadow Assassins.

Flight + Burrowing + Blink + Entering the Shadow.

The Little Devil's fault tolerance had been pushed to the extreme.

They would definitely become the enemy's nightmare in the future.

This group of Little Devils was also quite diligent; evolving from Worms to humanoid creatures, their combat style completely changed.

They explored their own combat skills and used the Combat Instinct talent to learn and grow from each other.
