Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 29

Ch 29: Combining Work and Rest

“Want to eat barbecue? My treat. I can’t guarantee there will be meat, but the main thing is that it will be grilled and roasted!”

As Chu Qiu’s voice faded, Diting’s whole body suddenly burst into raging Netherworld Flames, its figure flashing and disappearing as it shot towards the boundless Skeleton Sea.

Wherever the Flame Storm passed, the skeletons were engulfed by the flames, emitting shrill and desperate screams, and a palpitating burnt smell permeated the air.

However, these skeletons seemed to truly possess an immortal body. Even if they were burned to a charred and broken state, they would stand up again from the ashes in a moment, continuing to approach Chu Qiu and Fang Yan steadfastly.

“Soul Summoning!”

Chu Qiu gave a low shout, his hands quickly forming seals, instantly opening a passage to the gates of the Nine Underworlds.

Ethereal ghosts surged in from all directions, and the two intertwined, making the scene even more chaotic.

Although their attack power was not high, their advantage lay in their vast numbers, enough to divert the skeletons’ attention and buy Chu Qiu and Fang Yan a chance to catch their breath.

Taking this opportunity, Chu Qiu and Fang Yan began to carefully observe this battlefield, trying to find the leader’s trail in the chaos.

“Chu Qiu, there!”

Fang Yan’s eyes were sharp as an eagle, quickly locking onto a target on the chaotic battlefield.

Following the direction pointed by her slender jade finger, Chu Qiu’s gaze pierced through the surging tide of skeletons and discovered a Skeleton General holding a huge bone club and wearing broken armor.

It was tall, almost as high as the dark and oppressive dome, and its eyes flickered with a more eerie green light than the surrounding skeletons, a light that was soul-stirring.

“Diting, take care of that big fool first!”

As soon as Diting heard this, it immediately shot towards the Skeleton General, its figure carrying a chilling wind in the air, its claws as sharp as knives, aiming straight for its chest, attempting to kill it with one blow.

Unexpectedly, the Skeleton General was exceptionally agile, and with a flash of its body, it easily dodged the fatal blow.

Immediately afterwards, it waved the huge bone club in its hand, drawing a black trajectory in the air, wanting to cut Diting in two.

Diting’s figure was extremely agile, and with a twist of its body, it deftly dodged this blow.

“Soul Shock!”

Diting suddenly opened its mouth wide and emitted a deafening sound wave, like a thunderclap, instantly sweeping through the entire cave.

Under the impact of the sound wave, the Skeleton General’s figure paused, and the eyes that had been flickering with a ghostly green light also became dim.

Diting seized this opportunity, pounced on it fiercely, grabbed its neck, and with a forceful throw, slammed it hard on the ground, making a dull thud.

After rolling a few times on the ground, the Skeleton General’s tall body collapsed powerlessly to the ground, ceasing its struggle.

Those skeletons that had been besieging Diting stopped in confusion after seeing it defeated.

Just then, a low roar came from the end of the dark and deep passage on the side.

In the shadows, an Undead Wizard wearing a black robe and a burly figure slowly walked out, his eyes as deep as an abyss, flashing with indescribable light.

He held a magic staff high in his hand, and the inlaid ghostly blue gem shone with a cold light in the dim light, and he chanted words.

Immediately afterwards, black rays of light shot out from the tip of the magic staff, silently attacking Diting.

Diting reacted quickly, nimbly sidestepping and easily dodging these deadly attacks.

At the same time, Chu Qiu also quickly summoned more ghosts, forming an impenetrable barrier, trying to resist these surging attacks.

However, the Undead Wizard’s magic attacks were exceptionally fierce, and the ghosts dissipated one after another under the illumination of the black light, turning into nothingness.

“Gibberish boom boom!”

Seeing this, the Undead Wizard grinned, muttering words.

Taking this opportunity, Diting exerted its strength again, roared, and pounced towards the Undead Wizard.

It opened its sharp claws, bringing a sharp gust of wind, and clawed fiercely at the Undead Wizard’s chest.

The Undead Wizard hurriedly raised his magic staff to block, but Diting’s strength was too great, and several cracks were forcibly scratched on the magic staff, making a crisp cracking sound.

Diting changed its claws into fists, its hind legs exerted force, and its entire body soared into the air, smashing hard towards the Undead Wizard’s head.

This punch contained all of its strength, directly shattering the Undead Wizard’s head, and its body fell powerlessly to the ground, and the magic staff in its hand also rolled to the side.

As the Undead Wizard fell, the skeletons also stopped attacking, the ghostly light in their eyes gradually dissipated, and finally turned into piles of white bones, scattered on the ground.

Chu Qiu felt a familiar force surge into his body, making him feel refreshed, and he successfully advanced to the Sixth Level.

At the same time, Diting’s body was also rapidly expanding and contracting, and the Netherworld Flames on its body became hotter and more dazzling, and its rank was raised to the Fifth Level.

“Too difficult…”

Fang Yan’s long-suppressed tension was finally released at this moment. She patted her chest and let out a long breath.

Chu Qiu looked at his consumption, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As his strength increased, his Soul Power limit was also quietly increasing, and his consumption was also decreasing, and his recovery was becoming faster and faster.

He skillfully took out a pile of colorful drinks, potato chips, spicy sticks from the Storage Space, and even took out two steaming self-heating pots.

“Are you clearing a Secret Realm or on a tourist vacation…”

The dumbfounded Fang Yan thought that Chu Qiu would be a little low-key today, but she didn’t expect that he would return to his true nature in the blink of an eye.

These snacks were carefully selected and prepared by Xia Mo because she was worried that her brother might be hungry inside.

Diting very consciously came forward, took a pack of spicy sticks, and ate them with relish.

The Bloodstained Phoenix leisurely pecked at boneless chicken feet, its eyes slightly narrowed, and the flames on its body became more intense.

After eating and drinking enough, Chu Qiu handed the remaining snacks to Fang Yan, lest she have nothing to do. After a short rest, they continued to move forward.

After a period of arduous trekking, they finally came to a cave.

The entrance of the cave was tightly blocked by a huge stone slab, which was engraved with ancient runes, exuding a dangerous aura.

Chu Qiu slowly stretched out his right hand and gently touched the runes. A cold aura instantly entered his body along his arm, causing him to shiver.

At this moment, the Book of Life and Death in his Sea of Consciousness moved, instantly dissolving this cold aura into nothingness.

“Open!”

Chu Qiu concentrated his mind and strength, gave a low shout, and accompanied by a rumbling sound, the huge stone slab slowly rose, revealing an ancient and huge castle before them.

Just then, a heavy and powerful sound of horses’ hooves broke the surrounding silence, echoing in the empty castle, and the dust in the air trembled slightly.

A Death Knight wearing heavy black armor and holding a huge knight’s sword slowly drove out of the castle, looming in the dimness.

The traces of time were clearly visible on the armor, and a chilling aura of death emanated from those deep eyes, flashing with a cold light.
