The First Barbecue in the Abyss

After emerging from the Floating Pagoda, Zhou Huan stood before a dark, Dark Forest, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Before coming out, Zhou Huan had asked the Sprite, and they were now only at the top of the Abyss Plane, which was the 108th Layer.

Zhou Huan had naturally read the Legend of the Dragon King, but it was from a very long time ago, and he didn't remember much, especially the description of the Abyss Plane, which he only vaguely remembered.

The entire Abyss Plane has a total of 108 levels, and each level has an Emperor controls the main power of that level.

Therefore, the saying of the Abyss 108 Emperors came about.

However, while the title of "Emperor" sounds impressive, not every Emperor was actually very powerful.

Zhou Huan remembered that the Emperor of the first thirty-six levels were equivalent to ordinary Titled Douluo, the Emperor of the middle thirty-six levels were equivalent to Super Douluo, and among the last thirty-six levels, the Emperor of the first seventeen levels were roughly at the level of Limit Douluo, while the Emperor of the last eighteen levels were at the level of Quasi-god.

Zhou Huan guessed that the Quasi-god here were basically at the level of Di Tian, a Half-god, since the division between the Limit Douluo and the God level was somewhat different between the two eras.

But that's not the point. As long as it's not above the god level, Zhou Huan isn't too worried.

The only thing to be concerned about is the Abyssal Sage King at the very bottom of the Abyss Plane, which is the first level.

The Abyssal Sage King possesses the strength of First-level Deity and is the undisputed ruler of the entire Abyss Plane.

However, this sage ruler has been in seclusion for a long time, aiming to become God King, and generally does not pay attention to the outside world.

Zhou Huan is currently at the top of the Abyss Plane. Unless he destroys one layer of the Abyss World, the Abyssal Sage King should not notice the existence of a mere Zhou Huan.

Moreover, his Floating Pagoda is inherently highly effective at concealment.

Next, Zhou Huan's plan was naturally to "build high walls, store up grain, and slowly declare himself king," gradually eroding... ugh, slowly devouring... the entire Abyss.

However, after Zhou Huan entered this lifeless, Dark Forest, he discovered that storing grain was not an easy task.

In this forest where even the plants exuded decay and a black aura, Zhou Huan felt there was definitely nothing to eat.

Fortunately, there was still some leftover food chilled in the Floating Pagoda; otherwise, they would have had to rely on absorbing the energy of the Abyss creature to sustain themselves.

It's like receiving intravenous nutrition but not being able to eat; the body's needs are met, but it must feel terrible.

The chilled food would probably only last for about half a year, but who knew how long they would have to stay here? So, Zhou Huan was a little worried.

Helpless, he could only take it one step at a time.

So, Zhou Huan cut a small piece of steak, lit a fire, and began the first barbecue in the Abyss Plane.

Although the environment was harsh, we still had to eat.

As the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal." Besides, Zhou Huan started grilling the food to conduct an experiment.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Huan was eating half of his steak, he noticed that five Abyss creature were rapidly approaching him within a kilometer radius.

These Abyss creature really do come by the smell; I guess they've never eaten barbecue before.

However, Zhou Huan had no intention of treating everyone to dinner.

Just as Zhou Huan finished his last bite of steak, a dark shadow more than three meters tall flashed out from behind him, and a claw about half a meter wide slapped straight at the back of Zhou Huan's head.

Zhou Huan calmly straightened up, the degree to which his body bent perfectly showcased his powerful waist strength, an effect clearly achieved through years of rigorous training.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Huan leaned back and slid in the opposite direction, instantly arriving beneath the dark figure.

This is an Abyss creature with limbs like tiger claws, but three large heads and a body covered in black fur.

Just as Zhou Huan slid down beneath it, the six eyes on its three heads instantly widened, seemingly incredulous that this little creature had discovered its arrival so easily; after all, it was the number one ambush king of the Dark Forest.

However, before the ambush king could even finish its shock, it felt something icy and cold from its abdomen to its back.

The next second, its left and right big heads saw that its middle big head had split in two, and its four puzzled eyes seemed to be asking, "Brother, how did you split?"

It's quite obvious that this guy can't tell them the answer.

However, immediately afterward, a faint blue and white sword light told Left Big Head and Right Big Head why their brother, Middle Big Head, had cracked.

Because it wasn't just the head that cracked open, but its entire body that was cleaved in two by a sword beam.

However, the Cold Ice Qi of that sword light was so powerful that it froze its sense of pain and perception.

So, with a "thud," the two halves of the corpse fell to the ground, the left and right halves still looking at each other, as if to say, "Such a fast sword."

Zhou Huan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately used the Floating Pagoda to absorb the energy from the two halves of the corpse.

To Zhou Huan's surprise, Floating Pagoda was no longer picky. This Abyss creature was obviously no match for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but its energy could please Floating Pagoda.

Moreover, this time the Floating Pagoda did not directly devour the two halves of the corpse; it merely absorbed their energy little by little from above.

Perhaps this is because the Abyss Plane is essentially an energy plane, and these Abyss creature are essentially no different from energy sources?

After all, these Abyss creature have always grown by devouring Life and energy.

Just as Zhou Huan was happily absorbing the energy of the Abyss creature that had passed away peacefully, four other Abyss creature, clearly of the same species as the first one, finally arrived. Upon seeing Zhou Huan "evilly" absorbing the corpse of their leader, they almost knelt down.

Why do they say that Zhou Huan appears evil to them?

Not only was their leader's body split in two, but after death, something was being absorbed by a small White Pagoda, causing their leader's body to gradually wither and age.

This scene was absolutely terrifying.

They used to hunt and eat their prey raw; they would never be so cruel as to suck the blood of others.

They felt it would be better for their leader to be swallowed whole than to live like that.

So, when did such a terrifying creature... appear in the Dark Forest? What is this horrifying monster I've never seen before?

And the monster's flesh smells so good!

The four belated Abyss creature, naturally unfamiliar with the human species, were somewhat bewildered, but mostly filled with fear and anger.

It's unclear what kind of thought process these Abyss creature have. Despite facing an unknown and powerful being, and even feeling fear themselves, they only paused for a brief moment before recklessly charging towards Zhou Huan again.

It can only be said that these Abyss creature truly lack intelligence; their instinct for killing and devouring far outweighs their capacity for fear.

How could they bear to let go of such a fresh and delicious dish as Zhou Huan?

Then, in the next second, four streaks of blue and white sword light flashed, and four more corpses appeared on the ground.

In this gloomy forest, Zhou Huan, like a villainous boss, absorbed the energy of the four corpses.
