The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

The entire area was descending with a rumble!

The speed was very fast!

Accompanied by the shrill sound of the alarm bells!

Brother Cat leaped onto Su Qi's shoulder, seemingly very weak. Noticing Su Qi was about to ask something, it sent a weak, fluctuating wave from its body.

Su Qi tensed slightly, and the next moment, he knew what Brother Cat was thinking.

"So the bell is the core energy output of the area? I just destroyed the confinement... and released it from the imprisoned Energy Hub's body..."

"Now... the alarms are going off like crazy because... there are other Elemental Devouring Beasts of the same race also made into various hubs, controlled in various areas, and you need my help to set them free?"

"What's the plan?"

Brother Cat's eyes looked towards the bell collar in Su Qi's hands.

"Meow."

It called out weakly, seeming to need the bell.

Su Qi immediately got its point, "You want to lick my hand?"

"..."

Brother Cat almost couldn't resist swiping at Su Qi; its cat's paw trembled as it raised it, but then limply fell.

This fellow was indeed very weak.

At this moment.

The area was still descending, but no one relaxed. Some people, especially looking at the bell in Su Qi's hand, eyed Su Qi coldly, but in their hesitation, they logically chose not to act immediately.

"That bell must be something extraordinary..."

"He shouldn't have gotten it..."

"That cat... connected to the earlier tentacles, must be the near-extinct Elemental Devouring Beast... But no matter, it is now in a weakened state," said people from the major forces, their gazes cold yet knowledgeable.

The flashing red lights and the Ghost Faces staring intently at the bell as they roared in anger proved this point.

Su Qi also felt the mounting hostility, and his Blood Fury Value was rising. He raised the bell, "Wait for me a moment."

He pressed his hand onto the mark on the bell, and the entire imprint emitted a red glow, connecting directly to Brother Cat itself.

Points were doubling; it wasn't just simple data, but a clear mass of light points suddenly gathering around him.

The imprint dissipated, and... what remained was the bell collar itself.

Su Qi shook it slightly, causing the surrounding Ghost Faces to roar madly, as if angrily warning Su Qi not to mess with the content of the bell, which seemed to contain something.

Without hesitation, he tossed the bell to Brother Cat, who swallowed it in one gulp.

"Crack!"

A tide-like burst of red exploded! Brother Cat's whole body visibly trembled!

The surrounding alarms sounded even more urgent! The Ghost Faces trembled wildly! Streams of deep red strength surged out!

Brother Cat opened its mouth and violently devoured the deep red power!

After all, Brother Cat's race was an Elemental Devouring Beast, capable of devouring all energy and items, which was one of the reasons why Su Qi handed it over, only it could withstand your power.

The Ghost Faces were howling as if in extreme panic.

And the next moment.

Brother Cat actually opened its mouth, and a variety of dazzling, twisted lights burst forth!

Directly shooting upwards!

In the closed-off area, it opened up a dazzling channel!

This was the unique ability of an Elemental Devouring Beast, able to open a traversing channel, of course, provided it had devoured enough energy, and it itself could still withstand it.

The deep red power made Brother Cat's fur stand on end! It yowled in immense pain, but it still stubbornly persisted!

In the dazzling channel, images floated up faintly.

Su Qi's eyes slightly hardened; inside the dazzling channel... appeared dozens of other areas...

All the people placed in various areas for the Audience were there.

Simultaneously.

There were also Energy Hubs made into various models... all filled with ancient traces, somewhat different from Brother Cat.

"...All Elemental Devouring Beasts...?" Su Qi could see... there existed forces that captured Elemental Devouring Beasts and used their traits to construct Energy Hubs for purposes unknown, but clearly, it was a form of imprisonment!

The area's descent was getting faster and faster; it was supposed to stop several layers before reaching the bottom, but now it seemed it couldn't stop at all.

And at this moment, Brother Cat's body kept showing up red spots, with blood seeping out, indicating that the energy from the bell was too much for it to bear!

It suddenly extended hundreds of tentacles from its mouth! Directly through the dazzling channel, penetrating the Ripples!

It was destroying all the restrictions on the hubs!

Freeing all the imprisoned kin.

The crowd watched this scene in shocked suspicion, although some didn't understand what was happening, but they also saw other people from other areas through the dazzling channel.

But right now, they couldn't care less.

Because the area's descent increasingly quickened. Everyone was already floating up from the ground, and the other area's hubs were also being destroyed by Brother Cat's burst of power, all experiencing the same situation!

Falling! Uncontrolled descent!

The walls were crackling with sparks!

Numerous Ghost Faces twisted and howled, like the famous painting called "The Scream."

While at the same time, all the lights suddenly went out, not plunging into Darkness, as the deep red flashing emergency lights reflected in everyone's eyes.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Everyone distinctly felt a heavy sound, as if something had been disturbed, was very angry, and wanted to come closer from beyond the area!

The heavy footsteps, like meteorites falling, made everyone's eardrums quiver, while all the areas also noticeably trembled continuously!
