The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 486 - 302: The Secret of Breaking Through Seventh Rank!_2

"Why has this happened... Why has this happened..."

The Blood King was still mumbling with his head lowered.

"Is this all the mental strength you have?" Su Qi paused, this guy was full of vigor, so naturally, he would take him down.

But,

the Blood King struck first, screaming with a shrill voice, "I don't believe it! I need to see it for myself!"

But the next moment,

the huge hammer Su Qi had prepared already came crashing down!

The terrifying Spiritual Energy directly smashed him into the ground!

The entire castle was trembling severely, on top of the signs of the previous battle! It was already on the verge of collapse!

"Let's forget about it."

Su Qi squatted next to the Blood King, who had been smashed into a patty, only his half-severed arm weakly exposed.

"You don't look very capable of going out right now, I'll check it for you."

Su Qi reached out and took the ring from the Blood King's fingers.

That was the object that had been emitting slight Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

"A Space Key?"

Su Qi held it in his hand, feeling a slight ripple.

"Alright."

"It's time to move on."

Su Qi got up and walked slowly away, with the Fire Dragons soaring around reflecting the bodies of the Bloodline members, and the Shadow Army slowly fading, the area gradually returned to darkness and silence.

But after Su Qi left,

there was a slight tremor in the exposed arm.

A Blood Core inside was pulsing.

The Blood King had not died, he roared inwardly, "That was close!"

"Really close!"

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, the Blood Core would have been completely destroyed before I could transfer it!"

"Fortunately, he didn't notice!"

The Blood King was trembling inside,

"This guy is terrifyingly strong! Could all the people of future generations be so monstrous?"

"Anyway, first I need to survive, then once he leaves, I'll sacrifice all the survivors... and open the way out."

Its arm broke free from the bloodied flesh, using its fingers to crawl on the ground, preparing for a faster recovery under the Blood Moon.

At the same time,

it also saw the miserable scene outside.

It felt apprehension.

That guy... single-handedly took care of the Bloodline subordinates it had painstakingly nurtured, but no matter, as long as it could get out there, it could continue.

It was preparing to recover its body when,

wait,

why was it feeling a chill, using Spiritual Energy to probe... but it detected nothing, as if only feeling locked by something strange.

And the next moment,

a bullet... shot from nowhere! It went straight through the Blood Core that it had barely preserved!

-----------------

"It's strange."

"There were quite a few Bloodline members wandering the streets earlier."

"But now they seem to have decreased."

The leader of the Survivor Center, looking puzzled at the outside, said gravely,

"This is unusual, it's very possible that they're organizing an attack."

Long Xun, however, put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, be fearless, now we'll make a plan, if we can hold off until... daylight, we will have time to counterattack."

In this world, night and day each last for 48 hours, which provided them an opportunity.

If they could hold off until daylight,

they could counterattack into the enemy's castle.

That would be the moment when their enemy's strength was at its weakest.

He sighed, "The only thing is I don't know where Su Ke has gone."

Long Xun knew it was Su Ke who had saved him at that time, and he often chatted with him, although every time he would either be left dizzy or speechless, but he could feel that he was a good person.

It would be a pity if he had died here.

Bai Yilin said, "You don't seem to need to worry about that."

He looked into the distance, "Brother Su has already appeared."

Su Qi was strolling leisurely from the devastated streets toward this location.

The leader of the Survivor Center watched the figure approach, "That's the companion you mentioned! He was actually alone outside..."

"Quick, open the gate."

Long Xun also went straight to the gate.

Su Qi looked around and muttered to himself, "Looks like you all are fine."

"Firstly, we should be the ones saying that, and secondly, why do I detect a hint of disappointment in your tone?" Jiang Zhi couldn't help but retort.

"Because I'm the only one who had to work overtime late into the night," Su Qi calmly looked at Long Xun. "If we find the Space Key, how do we open the next space?"

Long Xun hadn't expected Su Qi to suddenly ask this:

He paused, then pondered, "It's simple, the key will guide us. Just reach a specific place, and it can open the Ripples."

"However, I haven't found any clues yet, but it's highly likely on the Bloodline's side. We can only confirm this by first helping the Survivor Center get through this night..."

"Is it that troublesome?"

"Troublesome?" Long Xun shook his head. "This is already quite clear, and there are no shortcuts on the path to opportunities."

Long Xun suddenly froze because Su Qi threw a ring over.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhi was also startled. "Why does it have energy fluctuations?"

"A Space Key…" Long Xun was surprised as soon as he took it.

"How did you get it?"

"A buddy gave it to me."

"?"

Su Qi said, "Anyway, now that we have the key to move on to the next space, there's no need to linger here."

"Brother Long, find the entrance to the next space."

Long Xun: "...Okay."

He was a bit baffled. Honestly, they had been discussing the counterattack plan for a long time here, then searching for clues about the key, as this place demanded extreme caution, with many having perished here.

But who would have thought... it's been less than an hour, and the key was already here.

Bai Yilin: "..."

He silently watched Su Qi, secretly using Spiritual Energy to communicate.

"Brother Su, what... did you do?"

"Nothing, really. A buddy gave it to me."

"Which buddy?"

"Guess."

"..."

Bai Yilin seemed to have realized something; watching Su Qi's figure, his eyes were complex.

Although their own Hustlers Sect had no background, no money, and few people, their Sect Hierarch seemed unbelievably powerful.

After confirming that the Bloodline had vanished from the outside.

Long Xun quickly found the Ripples using the ring's guidance.

With a slight touch of the ring.

A vast splendor emerged, small Ripples expanding until they formed a passage.

Jiang Zhi eyed the passage, hesitating, "Are we just going to leave like this?"

"What? Were you planning on settling down and starting a family here?"

"What about those survivors? Without our help..."

Bai Yilin placed a hand on his shoulder: "Don't worry, they'll be fine."

"We can only act as passersby. The formation of the Ripples' passage is brief, and the key has a cooldown. Once it's used, we won't know when it can be used again."

Long Xun paused:

"Also, I've instructed the leader. I'll leave the key here and have given them the method. Next, they can use the Ripples here to leave if they find the opportunity."

He sighed, "Although it seems cold-hearted, this is the way it has to be here."

Each space fragment has its situations, and if we tried to attend to everything, we'd have to be saints.

There's one more thing Long Xun didn't mention.

Although his words sounded harsh, in reality, he quietly left an item for the leader to use against the powerful Blood King and his subordinates.

Of course.

If Su Qi knew, he'd only question.

Why not give it to me?

"Let's go, I can only say this is just the beginning."

Long Xun looked solemnly ahead.

"Next, we may encounter others. Of course, be cautious and avoid provoking major forces or descendants of powerful races."

"And if we encounter a truly dangerous world where we can't proceed, we better not take risks and just return to Extreme Evil City."

The group stepped into the Ripples.

And at the Survivor Center, as the dense fog slowly dissolved the darkness with the whitish sky.

Their probe team appeared on a distant hilltop of the castle, somewhat bewildered and shocked, unsure what to make of everything in front of them.

"Hey..."

"Did you see that?"

"The Bloodline... they're all dead?!"

"What about the Blood King?"

"Look at that mass of flesh... doesn't it look like..."
