Chapter 352 Target: Abyss Outpost, Start the Frenzied Leveling Up!
Chen Yifan didn't even glance at the person who asked the question.
They didn't even pay attention to the gazes of these people.
He still looked like that burly man with a face full of scars.
His clothes were tattered and stained with dried blood.
It looks even more fierce.
He walked down the steps with heavy steps, one by one.
Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted to both sides, and no one dared to block his way.
Everyone's eyes were filled with awe, fear, and a hint of undisguised fanaticism.
myth!
They witnessed the birth of a myth!
"Big boss! Big boss, wait a minute! I'm the leader of 'Blood Wolf,' the number one mercenary group in Blackrock City. How about joining our group as vice-leader? No, leader! Name your price!"
"Screw you, Blood Wolves! Boss, come to our 'Yellow Turban Merchant Guild'! We can offer you resources that the entire Blackrock City can't!"
"Senior! Please accept me as your disciple! I have a B-level talent, I can fight and withstand attacks. Just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water without batting an eye!"
After a brief silence, the entire square erupted in cheers.
Countless people rushed towards Chen Yifan like madmen, wanting to win him over, to befriend him, and to latch onto this incredibly powerful figure.
However, Chen Yifan still didn't even glance at them.
He simply walked straight through the crowd toward the city gate.
An invisible aura emanated from him.
Those crazed mercenaries, though only a few meters away from him, felt as if there was an insurmountable mountain between them, making it impossible for him to get any closer.
Helpless, they could only watch as the tall figure disappeared at the end of the street.
"Damn! This guy is so cool!"
"Not even giving face to the Yellow Turban Merchant Guild, that's true power!"
"Quickly! Send men to follow him! We must find out this big shot's background and whereabouts!"
The spies from various factions, like sharks smelling blood, silently dispersed from the crowd, hanging far behind Chen Yifan.
Chen Yifan was fully aware of this, but he didn't care at all.
The restrictions on the World Engine have now been lifted.
Before the lamplighter could pinpoint his location.
We must improve our strength as much as possible.
Then he wandered around the city, as if he were just strolling around.
Half an hour later, he entered a secluded hotel.
The people behind immediately surrounded the inn, holding their breath and waiting for what was happening inside.
However, they waited for a full hour, but there was no sound from the hotel.
One of the boldest spies finally couldn't resist and quietly sneaked in.
A few minutes later, he ran out, his face ashen.
"The person...the person is gone!"
"The room is empty! Not even a trace of psionic energy remains!"
The person is long gone.
The moment Chen Yifan stepped into the hotel, he activated [Void Shuttle] and slipped away right under everyone's noses.
……
Outside Blackrock City, behind a huge, weathered rock.
Chen Yifan's figure quietly appeared.
He quickly tore off the "deceitful mask" from his face, revealing his handsome original appearance.
"How annoying."
He dusted himself off, but his mind was racing with calculations.
His recent second transformation has brought about a qualitative leap in his strength.
In particular, his mental strength has increased by at least five times.
But he knew very well that this was far from enough.
Perhaps, in most professional systems, he is already an expert.
But the Lamplighter, the Council of Order—those behemoths, even… that green-haired “Holy Lord” whom I only glimpsed briefly in my memory.
He was still as weak as an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
He needs to upgrade faster!
He needs a much larger amount of experience points to feed his bottomless pit of heretical inner palace!
Chen Yifan opened the map on his bracelet and quickly scanned it.
The leveling areas around Blackrock City have everything from Lv.50 to Lv.80.
But those places are crowded and noisy, and the monsters respawn slowly, which doesn't satisfy his current appetite at all.
His gaze finally settled on an area marked in dark red.
【Abyss Outpost】.
The map description is simple: Three hundred kilometers outside Blackrock City lies a forbidden zone contaminated by high concentrations of abyssal energy. It is perpetually shrouded in mental radiation, and its beasts are level 60-70, making it extremely dangerous.
Three hundred kilometers was nothing more than a few "void traversals" for him.
"This is it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yifan's figure once again merged into the void.
When he reappeared, the scene before him was completely different.
The sky was overcast and not a ray of sunlight could be seen.
The earth was a strange blackish-purple color, barren of vegetation, with cracked ravines and strangely shaped dead trees everywhere.
The air was filled with a faint smell, like rotten eggs mixed with decaying flesh.
Even more bizarrely, an invisible force was constantly trying to penetrate his mind.
That power was filled with chaos, madness, and savagery, constantly whispering in his ear, tempting him to kill, to destroy, and to unleash the most primal desires in his heart.
Psychological attack?
Chen Yifan immediately understood what this meant.
He took a few steps forward and soon, under a dead tree, he saw several rotting and stinking corpses.
Judging from their valuable enchanted armor, this should be a well-equipped team of professionals.
But their deaths were gruesome; each of them was covered in knife wounds and claw marks, clearly indicating that they had engaged in extremely brutal infighting before their deaths.
Beside the body, on a crooked warning sign, a line of words was written in blood-red paint.
"Forbidden Zone Ahead! Mental Pollution! Any team other than those at the third job advancement will be killed upon entry!"
Any normal professional would get goosebumps and turn away upon seeing this scene.
However, Chen Yifan simply took a deep breath.
The radiation toxin, powerful enough to distort the soul of an ordinary second-stage powerhouse, drive them mad and cause them to self-harm, entered his body but before it could cause any harm.
The purple-gold pagoda in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.
hum!
A gentle yet domineering power emanated from it.
Those mental toxins were like ice and snow meeting their nemesis; they were instantly broken down and purified, eventually transforming into streams of the purest mental energy, which the pagoda happily absorbed.
Not only is it harmless, it's actually...very nourishing!
Chen Yifan felt that his mental strength had actually increased slightly again.
"This is...a really nice place."
He dropped all pretense, revealing an extremely joyful smile on his face.
He raised his hand, a thought forming in his mind.
The exclusive domain of the Shadow King has quietly unfolded.
A ring of darkness, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread outwards from him.
Within this domain, he is the absolute ruler.
Chen Yifan's figure transformed into a jet-black blade that almost blended into the environment, plunging headlong into the abyss forest where the sun never shines and where unknown dangers abound.
He had only gone less than a hundred meters into the dense forest.
"Rusting..."
Suddenly, a series of dense rubbing sounds came from the surrounding bushes.
Immediately afterwards, one pair, two pairs, ten pairs, hundreds of pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Giant spiders, each the size of a millstone and covered in barbs and venom sacs, swarmed out from all directions, surrounding him completely.
Nightmare Spider
[Rank: Lv.62]
Dark green venom dripped from their mouthparts, corroding the dark purple ground into small, sizzling pits.
Any level 60 melee class would be terrified and start thinking about how to break through if surrounded by hundreds of these poisonous monsters.
But Chen Yifan did not move.
He scanned the greedy eyes around him.
He did not draw his sword.
They did not retreat.
He simply rolled up his sleeves slowly, and the way he looked at the group of poisonous spiders was not at all like he was looking at a deadly monster.
Instead, they were looking at plates of top-quality food that had just been served and were still steaming hot.
"Let's start with you!"
