Abyss Summoner

This was originally just a sudden idea, but after ten seconds, the thought didn’t fade away. Instead, it took root deeply like rhizomes in Chen Feng’s mind.

Dengshi City is peculiar!

In recent days, Chen Feng had already sensed something; everything here exuded a strange aura as if shrouded by a haze, obscuring everything before his eyes.

At that time, Chen Feng had just arrived here, and many things were still unclear. He even once thought that it was the unfamiliar environment causing this emotion.

But just a moment ago, after he saw the blood slurry in the arena, sudden inspiration hit, and he thought of a possibility!

Blood Sacrifice!

Chen Feng was too familiar with such matters. His current power could be said to have been acquired through a path filled with blood sacrifices. From summoning the Blazing Demon initially to recently summoning the legendary Mind-Reading Demon, his growth was built upon countless white bones!

It was precisely because of this that Chen Feng was so sensitive to such matters.

The auction that was originally scheduled for a few days ago was suddenly canceled and postponed for seven days. During these days, more and more strong individuals were attracted by the Sub-divine Artifact. Even more bizarre was that those strong individuals were initially just observing, but after a few days, their determination to stay seemed to intensify.

Even in this arena, Chen Feng sensed three forces not weaker than his own. What does this mean? They chose to stay, like the supposed Sub-divine Artifact suits them.

This made Chen Feng think of the news he got from the exchange of royal jelly not long ago. The tavern’s owner mentioned the term "Book of Filth and Darkness," which is clearly a more suitable Sub-divine Artifact for Mages. There’s no reason for those power-oriented legends to be fascinated by it. After all, if the abilities don’t match, not only will it not have a considerable destructive power, but it will also affect the normal performance of the individual.

Those strong individuals couldn’t have coincidentally all entered the tavern.

This implies that elsewhere in this city, there seem to be other informers. They are among the few who know the secret of the Divine Artifact.

Dengshi City is an ancient power. Even though the Sub-divine Artifact is immensely precious, they wouldn’t be so ostentatious, even using some dirty tricks to keep the strong individuals here.

Unusual events have a reason.

Chen Feng smelled the scent of conspiracy!

Expending so much manpower and effort to keep so many strong individuals, perhaps it is truly to hold an unprecedented blood sacrifice!

There are known to be more than a dozen legendary strong players already, and with four days left until the auction, strong individuals around are bound to come after hearing the news. By then, the number of legendary strong players may break through twenty, or even more!

Of course, it wasn’t just legendary strong players; with the news of the Sub-divine Artifact released, all the Evil Doers with power around flocked to join this grand event.

In a short time, the number of people in Dengshi City tripled. How many Gold-ranked strong individuals? Silver Peak? It’s impossible to calculate clearly in such a short time!

Chen Feng’s pupils shrank suddenly. If it truly is a blood sacrifice, then what exactly does the opposing side need to summon, using the lives of so many strong individuals?

He instinctively stood up, attempting to leave here!

This is a person’s instinctive reaction after knowing danger. For Chen Feng, leaving here now seems to free himself from all that is about to happen.

He was originally just here to join in the fun and never thought of vying for the so-called Sub-divine Artifact, so it can be said that leaving would not cause any loss at all.

But...

Chen Feng thought of the expectation for coming here.

Seeking a path to advancement!

Behind any high risk lies an opportunity that drives people to madness!

If... he could obtain the corpses of some legendary strong players, he can completely sacrifice Li Long and, with the last remaining spot, summon two more legendary-tier Summoned Beasts!

Additionally, the excess blood might attempt to communicate with the altar to gain some rewards from the Abyss.

After ascending to legend, Chen Feng’s mastery of summoning has reached a new level. Many things that were not possible before have seemingly given him some inspiration in the dark. He has acquired the ability to communicate with the altar, where, when needed, he can offer some extra sacrifices to exchange for treasures beyond Summoned Beasts!

All of this is undoubtedly a thorny rose; even though it’s covered with thorns, it has a fragrance that makes it tough to resist persevering!

Chen Feng halted his retreating steps, sat back on the chair again, and the final auction would be held four days later. Even if there is a conspiracy in Dengshi City, at least during these four days, it’s safe. This means Chen Feng still has time to make a decision.

Leave?

Or stay behind?!

Chen Feng took a deep breath, with many things filling his mind like mush. He needs some time to digest these issues.

The Gray Dwarves and gnomes are the original masters of this land. The Dark Elf, as invaders, occupied it and transformed it into their home.

The Gray Dwarves and gnomes worship Lolth, but rebellions still occasionally occur around here. The Gray Dwarves, with a bit of barbaric blood in them, don’t really seem to revere Lolth. The so-called faith is merely a compromise out of necessity!

Dengshi City is governed by a council, which is the power of the indigenous residents!

Lolth is a powerful Evil God, and to her, legends are just a group of "sturdy children." She wouldn’t expend such energy for a group of children; it doesn’t match her way of doing things.

Thus it can be concluded that the potential blood sacrifice is an intrigue of Dengshi City and a conspiracy of the Gray Dwarves and gnomes!

Chen Feng seemed to find some critical clues. His eyes suddenly brightened, and at that moment, it was as if he saw some small figures hidden in the shadows, gathering together, discussing some grand conspiracy.

Once the conspiracy succeeds, Dengshi City would be inundated with blood in an instant!

The Gray Dwarves wouldn’t launch a meaningless conspiracy without reason. If the council was just a group of brainless dark creatures, Dengshi City couldn’t have survived for so many years. The reason they tear their masks off now is perhaps they have found some power that can contend with the Dark Elf or even Lolth.

Chen Feng seemed to have lifted one corner of the veil, but as for what is concealed behind it, he is still unclear. However, one thing is certain: the person behind this, daring Dengshi City to act so maniacally, surely possesses power beyond what he can imagine.

Incomparable!

Chen Feng thoughtfully pondered for over ten seconds as if making some decision and then used telepathy to contact Elwin.

"I’m in Blingdenstone City, a city built by Gray Dwarves and gnomes. I’ve discovered some clues; the rulers here seem intent on gathering more strong individuals. I suspect they are attempting to conduct an unprecedented blood sacrifice rite. This feeling is strong, and I trust my judgment."

"Communicate this to the Goddess Lolth in prayer. As the master of this land, she has the right to know this secret."

Chen Feng didn’t give Elwin a chance to ask questions and ended the communication. He looked forward, feeling as if tiny particles appeared in mid-air. Those particles were composed of blood, scarlet, thick, like oil paintings, so vividly defined.
