Chapter 189: Clearing the Four Walls, Preparing to Snatch the Big Boss

The corruptive power of the abyssal energy was extremely strong, and without proper protective measures, an accidental contamination required a great deal of effort to cleanse.
Currently, they were in the midst of the abyssal rift. If their fighting strength was damaged at this time, an accident might occur.
“It’s fine, I’m a professional when it comes to collecting and exploring exotic energies,” Blue Star said.
Shen Yurou stepped forward, holding a head-sized bottle in her hand.
“I’ve prepared quite a few energy collection bottles for energy research. This should be able to collect the abyssal energy without any leakage,” she stated.
As soon as the spiritual power barely permeated the surface of the bottle, a suction force emerged at the bottle’s mouth.
When Shen Yurou pressed the mouth of the bottle against the solid conduit, the dark green abyssal energy began to seep out bit by bit and was sucked into the bottle.
As the bottle continued to absorb the abyssal energy, in just over ten seconds, it was filled with the energy.
Gazing at the condensed dark green crystalline form of the abyssal energy inside the bottle, Shen Yurou’s eyes were shining.
“Such pure abyssal energy, and there’s so much of it, I will definitely not be polite,” she declared.
With so much abyssal energy delivered to her doorstep, how could she waste it?
Thus, Shen Yurou whipped out a set of 200 energy collection bottles and started to stealthily—cough—openly collect the abyssal energy.
After connecting dozens of bottles, not a single drop of abyssal energy seeped out of the conduit, as if it had been thoroughly stripped bare.
“Only fifty-two bottles collected, how come there’s no more?” she sighed regretfully.
With a sigh, Shen Yurou packed both the empty bottles and those filled with abyssal energy into her Spatial Backpack.
“Do you really think others are fools, allowing a stranger to steal energy so freely?”
The abyssal energy cannon was clearly a weapon of war, thus the transmitted abyssal energy must also be one of the strategic materials.
Since they had breached the Abyssal Castle, although the main city wall had fallen, the abyssal energy cannons mounted on it were still capturing vast amounts of abyssal energy.
In such an abnormal situation, the controller of the Abyssal Castle naturally cut off the energy transmission.
“Brother Zi, the cleanup is complete; everything is here,” Wang Fatty immediately sent a trade request, then dumped a pile of assorted items into the trade window all at once.
“There’s so much junk, but there are also quite a few abyss-themed materials, which could perhaps fetch a nice price,” he mused.
Though the drop rate from the death of abyss monsters was exceedingly low, the items dropped were materials related to the abyss.
The research value of these items was still very decent, not to mention that on Blue Star, many items required abyss materials for crafting.
Ying Xueji and the others may not care for these Dragon Coins, but a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small. Zi Liyuan and his group were still in the development phase, intending to start an arms company with a substantial initial investment.
So it was quite favorable to accumulate a bit more wealth.
“Lao Tie, didn’t I give you thirty Blood Rune Abyssal Pouches? Take out the silver-level items; as for the rest, we’ll let your old man handle them when we get back,” Zi Liyuan instructed.
Silver-level equipment was of course initially for arming their own people; any surplus could then be sold.
“Alright, Brother Zi,” Lao Tie agreed.
After discarding most items and retaining only those of silver quality, the number was reduced from over ten thousand to just over three hundred.
Having accepted the trade, Zi Liyuan briefly checked the silver items. There were only 103 pieces of equipment; the rest were either materials or items.
There was nothing with particularly high attributes, but there were a few small puppet toys with abyssal characteristics.
Zi Liyuan casually tossed the puppet dolls to Second, who was nearby, hoping to inspire her to create more powerful puppets.
“Let’s take the city wall directly and clear out all the creatures on it,” he decided.
Seeing Ying Xueji below had temporarily taken charge of the novices and had begun forming battalions to enter the city, Zi Liyuan didn’t want to mix in and chose to split up and start the sweep instead.
The castle’s walls, although the front had been almost completely emptied, still harbored a considerable number of abyss monsters on the other three sides.
Rather than chasing monsters around the buildings below, it was better to eradicate the abyss creatures atop the other three walls.
It was still the Skeleton Army leading the way, but at the very front, acting as the spearhead, was the Spider Queen.
A Legendary BOSS rampaging through, even if these abyss monsters were of a higher level, still couldn’t withstand the blade of the Spider Queen.
The reason Zi Liyuan deployed the Spider Queen was that monsters resurrected with the “Resurrection” skill retained their levels from before death.
Thus, the newly resurrected Spider Queen was only at LV60, and the experience she needed to level up was not provided by Zi Liyuan but had to be gained from killing monsters herself.
After completing the Third Order class change quest, Zi Liyuan had likewise spent quite some time grinding dungeons to gain experience.
Now, the Spider Queen was at LV65, and the experience needed to level up was tremendously vast, which was why, even after resurrection, she had only gained 5 levels.
But even so, as a Legendary BOSS, her lethality was not the slightest bit diminished.
Almost any abyss creature that stood before the Spider Queen was sliced into pieces, earning her the title of a corpse annihilator.
Zi Liyuan was dissatisfied with this, even using his spirit to communicate with the Spider Queen’s consciousness, but she resisted vehemently.
Indeed, the Spider Queen had her own consciousness and wasn’t suppressed by the rules like Lao Tie and the Demon Spider, resulting in a sealed consciousness.
The Spider Queen possessed self-awareness yet strongly resisted being enslaved by Zi Liyuan, even harboring thoughts of turning on her master.
