34: Chapter 34 The Demon General Appears!

He tried once more to recall Yarberna into the Death Space, but in return, Yarberna only gave him a playful wink.

"It seems it really won't work," Lu Yin said, feeling a bit helpless.

"The Death Space is too dull; Yar prefers staying outside."

Yarberna chuckled softly.

Lu Yin shook his head and explained.

"I don't want you to stay in the Death Space forever, but I'm currently on a mission as bait."

"If the target finds out that such a powerful assistant like you exists, the bait mission I've accepted might end in failure."

Although he could still fight that Abyssal Demon General with the Undead Bone Dragon without Yarberna.

Her presence would undoubtedly increase his chances of winning significantly and ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

Yarberna's purple eyes shifted slightly, instantly understanding Lu Yin's concerns.

A knowing smile curled at the corners of her lips, and a faint, eerie glow emanated from her body.

"Is Master worried that I'm too conspicuous and will scare off that bug hiding in the shadows?"

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness. "That's simple."

Before she finished speaking, her figure began to blur under the moonlight.

Eventually, she transformed into an elegant black cat and leapt onto Lu Yin's shoulder.

"Is this okay, Master?"

The black cat spoke in human tongue, her voice still carrying Yarberna's characteristic lazy tone, only with a bit more of a feline's unique tenderness.

Lu Yin was speechless and reached out to stroke the black cat's head.

The touch was unexpectedly soft, the fur as fine as high-quality satin.

The black cat squinted contentedly, her tail wrapping around Lu Yin's wrist.

"As a Legion Commander, one must have some special abilities."

"But Master, isn't your current action a bit like taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable position?"

Lu Yin's hand froze instantly, and he withdrew it awkwardly.

Recalling the sexy bombshell from moments ago, there was indeed a different kind of pleasure.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Although you can hide your identity like this, don't speak in front of others."

"Of course, Master."

She lowered her voice, a hint of slyness in it. "But you have to admit, the feeling of talking secretly like this is quite thrilling, isn't it?"

Lu Yin: "..."

Was he "formerly" indecent, or were all the Legion Commanders this "indecent"?

He checked the time; the Dungeon's cooldown was almost over.

Lu Yin followed the path he came from and returned to the camp with Yarberna.

In front of the Dungeon entrance at the camp, Li Chenxu and Wei Xiaoxiao were already waiting for Lu Yin.

Although the black cat on Lu Yin's shoulder caught their attention, they tacitly avoided mentioning it.

Still entering at Nightmare difficulty, the three were once again teleported to that dilapidated temple.

Just as the three entered the Dungeon space again, a pair of crimson eyes snapped open in a dark corner.

"They're here."

"This time, I'll have some fun with you..."

The owner of this voice was none other than the Abyssal Demon General Ars.

The Abyssal Power surged from the staff in his hand, and streaks of dark purple energy drifted from the staff, moving through the temple's ruins like living creatures.

The moment they touched the monsters in the Dungeon, that energy flowed into their bodies, making them seem to quietly become more powerful.

At the temple entrance, the three also keenly sensed something unusual.

"Something seems wrong."

Li Chenxu looked up at the other two.

Lu Yin shook his head expressionlessly at him.

As expected, that Abyssal Demon General was hiding within this Dungeon.

After witnessing his abilities, the demon was also getting impatient to nip him in the bud.

However, what surprised Lu Yin was that this Abyssal Demon General was unexpectedly cautious.

He didn't appear immediately but used some small tricks to test him again.

But this played right into Lu Yin's hands; feigning weakness was always the best way to crush a powerful enemy.

Pretending not to care, Lu Yin and the other two continued their Dungeon run.

During the process, Lu Yin still maintained a count of thirty Death Soldier.

However, he replaced all thirty Death Soldier with Red-Robed Priests and Death Dark Spider Guards.

These two creatures had good attributes and skills, greatly increasing their mob-clearing efficiency.

Soon, they arrived at the final boss again.

Cardinal Moras repeated his lines as usual and then launched an attack on them.

While dealing with the boss, Lu Yin secretly observed his surroundings.

He knew that the Abyssal Demon General must be watching him from somewhere right now.

However, to Lu Yin's slight frown, even after he killed the Cardinal again, the Abyssal Demon General still hadn't appeared.

He couldn't help but marvel; as expected of an abyssal creature known for being cunning and insidious.

Without a hundred percent certainty, he probably wouldn't make a move easily.

Exiting the Dungeon once more, the three looked at each other.

"As expected, Abyssal Demons aren't that easy to bait."

Wei Xiaoxiao said with a hint of disappointment.

She thought the changes in the Dungeon would be a precursor to the Abyssal Demon General's move.

To her surprise, they hadn't even encountered a single hair of his.

"There's no helping it, it's their nature. The military's previous squad spent a full three days grinding one Dungeon just to draw him out."

Li Chenxu also sighed; he actually wanted to encounter this Abyssal Demon General more than anyone.

However, such things were not for him to decide.

Waiting for the Dungeon cooldown again, they were just like ordinary Professionals leveling up.

Over the course of the night, they ran the Dungeon five times.

Lu Yin's experience points were also approaching the level 11 mark.

Grinding high-level Dungeons naturally made the leveling speed extraordinary.

At this time, it was estimated that a normal freshman would be doing quite well to reach level 5.

Dawn was gradually breaking, and after a night of exertion, the three of them had traces of fatigue on their faces.

But they hadn't forgotten the mission they were tasked with.

Entering the Dungeon again, everything was still as usual.

The three also pulled themselves together and pushed all the way to the end of the stage.

When the Cardinal fell once more, the three prepared to exit the Dungeon.

But to their surprise, the return teleportation array didn't appear as it usually did.

"Hmm?"

Li Chenxu was slightly stunned.

But at that very moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Mental Shock!"

-35,987!

A burst of invisible energy hit Li Chenxu directly, and a large crimson number floated above his head!

"W-what's going on?"

Li Chenxu felt his world spinning as his consciousness gradually blurred.

His vision also gradually tilted as he fell to the ground.

The moment Li Chenxu fell, Lu Yin's pupils constricted sharply.

He's here!

To be able to cause such terrifying damage, there was absolutely no one else in this Dungeon besides that Abyssal Demon General!

"Chenxu!"

Wei Xiaoxiao, not far away, also reacted. Looking at her companion who was instantly killed, she shouted anxiously.

Although they also had life crystals as life-saving trump cards, if the opponent could kill him once, they could kill him a second time.

Buzz!

Just as Wei Xiaoxiao's shout faded, a brilliant white light emerged from Li Chenxu's body.

Amidst the shining white light, Li Chenxu suddenly snapped his eyes open.

"Full Recovery Potion!"

He panted heavily and instinctively used a potion to restore his health.

The lingering sensation of death still swirled in his mind, leaving a trace of terror in the depths of his eyes.

"Life-saving items... as expected, you came prepared."

"But no matter how many items you have, they're just a waste on you."

Just as Li Chenxu was still in shock, a dark purple figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

Ars held his staff, a cruel light flashing in his eyes.
