"Finally got the detailed address."
Chu Xiu's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
However, the last piece of advice from Tongue made him fall into deep thought.
"Should I have Fierce Tier strength before exploring further? Is my current strength comparable to the lower Fierce Tier?"
So far, he hasn't fought with all his might, mostly using just one or two trump cards against opponents.
Chu Xiu felt that while his offensive abilities might be lacking, his defense and survival abilities were still not an issue, even allowing him to escape from the Silver Knight.
"So, even if Tongue's standard for the Fierce Tier is high, I shouldn't be in life-threatening danger, just a matter of how many Ghostly Legion troops I might lose."
"But I should still try to prepare as much as possible before exploring again."
Accumulating a Ghostly Legion isn't easy, and Chu Xiu felt distressed over every loss.
With that in mind, he closed his eyes to rest and restore his state.
Early the next morning, Chu Xiu, having almost fully restored his physical strength and energy, pushed open the door, ready to begin a new round of hunting.
After yesterday's exploration, he had discovered quite a few patterns of Corpse Demon activity in the central city, allowing him to be more aggressive.
Today was also the fourth day since entering the Abyss, with various major forces starting to prepare for an advance towards the central city.
The entire base was bustling from early morning, and many Awakened had already set off towards the city wall, particularly some craftsmen-type support professions.
Over the past few days, many high-tier Awakened like Chu Xiu had entered the central city in advance to gather intelligence. Of course, few had delved as deep as Chu Xiu, but still, they had made considerable gains.
After discussions, the advisors and analysts of the major forces decided to adopt a strategy of "fortify and lay waste," building a strong defensive line with modern weapons on the city wall before gradually clearing the central area's Corpse Demons.
This meant support professions would be particularly busy these days.
This was good news for Chu Xiu, as it meant that even if he encountered an undefeatable enemy in the central city, as long as he retreated to the city wall area, there would be people to help block it, allowing Chu Xiu to explore without worries.
At the same time, many Mortal Tier Awakened, having exhausted the resources of the Outer City District, were preparing to start their upgrade trials.
The Corpse Demon World was a real-world, much like Blue Star, so naturally, it also allowed for upgrade trials.
There were quite a few people undertaking upgrade trials, with as many as seven from Lin Wanyue's base alone, given that the resources in the Outer City District were quite abundant, enough for many to reach Level 9.
Without reaching Warrior Tier, there was no qualification to compete for the Positioning Anchor Points, so any Awakened with ambition would level up to Warrior Tier before officially conquering the world mission.
Chu Xiu wasn't displeased by the increase in competitors; instead, he was extremely happy.
"These newly-promoted Warrior Tiers will gain a lot of Cause and Effect Points through trial rewards, and even if they scrape by, they can each get at least three to four hundred points on average."
"And they lack Warrior Tier Equipment. I can just trade my unneeded items with them for Cause and Effect Points."
Realistically, these ordinary Warrior Tiers were no threat to Chu Xiu, even if there were many of them.
Of course, they would take away some resources, but in truth, Chu Xiu wasn't in the same league as them, so their presence or absence wasn't a big deal.
Without further thought, Chu Xiu left the base, donned his robe and mask, and swiftly crossed the city wall, entering the central city.
He didn't linger, instead delving deeper, reaching an area about 9km from the central tower.
Here was the hunting ground he had carefully selected after yesterday's observations.
The main reason was that the Fierce Tier Corpse Demon ruling this area wasn't fast, giving Chu Xiu ample reaction time.
Standing on the rooftop of a residential building, the Nether Demon Eyes flickered, quickly marking most Corpse Demons in this area.
His form flickered, ghost-like, appearing behind a Level 9 Mortal Tier Corpse Demon, thrusting his spear to pierce it instantly!
Then, without pausing, before the second Corpse Demon could react, he punched its head, exploding it!
At this point, the entire area's Corpse Demons erupted into chaos, yet he moved like a specter, gliding through building after building, precisely slaughtering each Corpse Demon!
He planned a perfect kill route, causing the leader of the Corpse Demons to chase him relentlessly until he cleared most of the Corpse Demons within sight. Only then did Chu Xiu stop, turn around, and face the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon howling from behind, delivering a Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand punch!
"Bang!"
It was an instant kill, without suspense, the tremendous power bursting into a cloud of blood mist in the air.

Along with the pleasant sound, came the enraged roar of the Fierce Tier in this place!
But by the time it arrived with great momentum, Chu Xiu had already vanished, with all the corpses on the ground having been refined.
...
In the following time, Chu Xiu continued hunting in this area, with a high Constitution of 150 points allowing him to cross a thousand meters within a few breaths, and leap onto a ten-story building. With such astounding agility, the Fierce Tier creatures here couldn't find his trace, only able to emit powerless roars.
And after another punch smashed a Warrior Tier Corpse Demon, the notification Chu Xiu had long anticipated finally appeared.
