Chapter 151: Shell-Breaking?

Zhou Huai wore a look of joy on his face.

These past few days had truly tired him out enough.

The smart core ai had no Soul, and it could operate according to the main body's requirements.

The Formations designed by Zhou Huai could be replicated one-to-one by the smart core ai.

However, the smart core ai could not design brand-new Formations by itself.

Therefore, past Formation designs relied entirely on Zhou Huai designing them himself.

Fortunately, heaven does not disappoint those who put in hard work, and there were finally some results.

The teleportation Formation had already formed, but currently it could only be said to be half finished.

Zhou Huai controlled Zhuge Kongming and activated a skill aimed at the Formation runes of the teleportation Formation on the ground.

" [ Stick to Convention ] . "

The Formation on the ground turned into a seal of light and sank into his palm.

He stepped into the portal composed of starlight with one foot.

Space distorted.

Light and shadow shifted.

The next second, Zhuge Kongming's figure went from the secret room of the Eternal Night Guild to the Abyss of Mist.

Underfoot was that patch of damp soil.

In the air, thick mist and the fishy, foul stench of exotic beasts permeated.

Currently, the teleportation Formation still belonged to one-way teleportation.

They could teleport from the secret room into the Abyss of Mist, but could not teleport from the Abyss of Mist to the secret room.

They must build another teleportation Formation here to work.

The figures of Yasuo and Xiang Yu walked out from the thick fog, guarding on the left and right sides.

Zhou Huai controlled Zhuge Kongming to explore the nearby area for a long time.

Finally, in a secluded mountain col surrounded by huge rocks, he found an excellent location.

He extended his palm and pressed the replicated Formation light seal onto the ground.

The light seal merged into the earth.

The next second, thousands of complex Formation runes rapidly spread out across the ground.

A brand-new portal slowly opened up in the Abyss of Mist.

With a thought from Zhou Huai, an invisible link seemed to be established between the two portals.

At this point, the teleportation passage leading to the Secret Realm of the abyss was completely finished.

…

Afternoon.

Eternal Night Guild headquarters, first-floor lobby.

Three hundred figures neatly lined up, dead silent.

After two months of development, the number of people in the Eternal Night Guild had already developed from less than thirty people at the beginning to the scale of three hundred people now.

Although it couldn't compare to those large guilds of thousands at every turn, it was already taking initial shape.

The number of people was not many, but in the underground world of Donghai City, it had long since made a resounding name for itself.

Especially recently.

As Moria's Rank gradually increased, the attributes that these Demon Slaves could share also began to rise along with the tide.

The strength displayed by a Rank D Professional under the condition of the same Rank was even more ferocious than Rank B.

Especially when night came, it was fierce to a terrible degree.

After several hard-fought battles, apart from those few top major guilds, I'm afraid no one else dared to easily provoke Eternal Night anymore.

At this moment, Moli stood on the elevated platform in the center of the lobby.

She wore a capable black tight-fitting outfit, her long hair tied into a high ponytail, and her slightly immature face carried a majesty inconsistent with her age.

Her gaze swept across the three hundred solemn faces below.

" Everyone, listen up. "

Her voice was crisp, yet it carried an unquestionable power, echoing in the spacious lobby.

" Today, the Lord will open up a brand-new Trial Grounds for us. "

" After entering, everyone must unconditionally obey instructions, and unauthorized actions are not allowed. "

" Remember, my words are the Lord's words. "

" Do you have any objections?! "

" None! "

Three hundred people roared in unison, the wave of sound almost blowing off the roof.

In that voice, there was not the slightest hesitation, only fanaticism and absolute obedience.

Moli nodded with satisfaction.

" Very good. "

" Now, taking teams as units, enter the basement in turn. "

At her command, the first ten-person team immediately took strides, their movements uniform, and walked towards the entrance of the underground secret room.

They passed through the deep passage and came before the portal twinkling with starlight.

Everyone's eyes carried curiosity and excitement, yet no one whispered to each other.

They stepped into the portal one by one, their figures disappearing instantly.

Batch after batch.

In less than ten minutes, all three hundred guild members had been teleported to the Abyss of Mist.

As soon as they stepped out of the portal, a cold and damp air rushed towards them.

Everyone instinctively looked around.

The thick fog that blocked out the sky, the heart-palpitating roars of beasts coming from time to time in the distance…

" Where… is this place? "

" Such rich energy, I feel my breathing has become much smoother. "

" Shh, don't speak. "

The whispers had just sounded when they were low-shouted to a stop by the team leader.

Just at this moment, they saw it.

On a huge rock not far from the portal, a figure was standing quietly.

That person was dressed in an ethereal white robe, holding a feather fan, with a face like jade and eyes like bright stars.

It was as if an immortal banished from the paintings had stepped out.

The moment he appeared.

All the Eternal Night members who had just stepped onto this unfamiliar land saw the curiosity and tension on their faces vanish instantly.

Replaced by reverence and fanaticism originating from the depths of the Soul.

No instructions were needed.

Three hundred people, almost at the same time, knelt on one knee.

Their movements were as neat as an army trained a thousand times over.

" Greetings, Lord! "

The resounding voice echoed in the mountain col, startling a flock of birds in the distant forest.

Zhou Huai controlled Zhuge Kongming to gently wave the feather fan, a gentle smile revealing itself on his face.

" Everyone get up. "

" Yes, Lord! "

Three hundred people stood up in unison, figures straight like javelins, waiting for review.

" Starting today, this place will be your new leveling ground. "

Zhou Huai's voice was not loud, yet it clearly entered everyone's ears.

" The exotic beasts in this Secret Realm are far more powerful than what you encountered before. "

" Support types and healing types, be ready for rescue at any time. "

He raised his feather fan and pointed towards the direction of the lake shrouded in thick fog not far away.

" Your current task is to clean outwards along the lake shore. "

" Remember, do not advance rashly, let tank classes draw monsters first, and fight steadily and solidly. "

" Understood! "

Another uniform roar.

The next second, this three-hundred-person team, like a precision machine wound up tightly, quickly took action.

In the very front row were twenty heavy warriors holding giant shields; they formed a steel defense line, carefully advancing forward.

Closely following behind them were assassins and rangers; they lurked on both sides of the team, responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance.

Mages and archers were firmly protected in the center of the Formation.

The healing Professionals already had the staffs in their hands glowing with a soft light, ready to provide support at any time.

Division of labor was clear, cooperation was tacit.

This team was long no longer a mob of rabble.

But a hundred-battles elite force that truly understood cooperative combat.

Yasuo and Xiang Yu were also not idle.

They followed the main force on the left and right, escorting this group of "newcomers" who had just arrived.

Only when they gradually adapted to the strength of the exotic beasts in the Secret Realm would Zhou Huai let them disperse and form free teams to level up.

Having finished all this, Zhou Huai then returned his consciousness to his main body.

Lying on the bed, he felt his head spinning in waves.

Not knowing whether it was due to overwork recently or that damn curse power acting up again.

Right now he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep heavily.

Only before going to sleep, there was still one thing to do.

With a thought in his mind.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the room.

It was precisely Moria.

Zhou Huai took out that pitch-black magic dragon egg from the Storage Ring.

Moria had been in the Secret Realm without coming out recently, and it had starved this little guy terribly.

Those few days, it wailed loudly inside the Storage Ring, disturbing Zhou Huai and making him annoyed.

Now that Moria had returned, this little guy could finally have a wonderful and hearty meal.

Under Zhou Huai's instruction, Moria extended pale fingers and tapped on the eggshell.

Pure Devilish Qi, like a stream, continuously poured into the dragon egg.

The little magic dragon inside the egg immediately made excited "ao ao" sounds, so excited that it rolled back and forth straight inside the eggshell.

This time, it really starved it badly.

One thousand wisps of Devilish Qi were absorbed completely in a flash.

It still seemed to find it not enough.

Another one thousand wisps.

Two thousand wisps.

…

Absorbing a full five thousand wisps of Devilish Qi, that greedy suction finally slowly stopped.

Zhou Huai originally thought that once this little guy was full and satisfied, it would sleep heavily like usual.

However this time, that black magic dragon egg lying quietly on the bed actually shook gently.

Shortly after.

Crack—!

A crisp, subtle cracking sound resounded within the silent bedroom.

At the top of the black dragon egg, a clear crack appeared.
