Abyss Summoner-Chapter 144 - 142: Seizing Opportunities

Silver Demon.

This is a dimensional creature.

Much like the Night Demon, this genderless entity before us is not a being of this world.

Similar to a soul worm, it is also a parasitic creature, but unlike the former’s malevolent control over hosts, the Silver Demon has no side effects.

The Silver Demon’s body is liquid-like and extremely afraid of sunlight; if it survives in its original form, it won’t be long before it becomes rigid and dies completely.

In such circumstances, they attach themselves to living beings, relying on the host’s energy to survive, making them a relatively gentle parasitic organism.

During parasitism, their bodies merge with the host, like a layer of mucous membrane spread over the host’s skin. They have no offensive capabilities, but their resilience and defense are astonishing.

This layer of membrane is impervious to fire and water, resistant to blades and bullets, on the black market, Silver Demons are priceless, listed among rare treasures.

Chen Feng’s complexion was a bit rosy, and his eyes squinted slightly.

He hadn’t expected Wu Junwen to have such an opportunity, to have encountered a Silver Demon. During this time, he disguised himself as an ordinary person, masquerading as a professional, even establishing his own base.

Silver Demons possess memory ability; when not parasitizing, they randomly transform into beings they have previously attached to.

Chen Feng extended a hand, grasping the Silver Demon tightly, and then squeezed hard!

"Poof!"

The Silver Demon’s body exploded entirely, and after a while, a creature with the upper half of an eagle’s head and the body of a lion appeared before Chen Feng.

It was clear, it parasitized more than one creature.

Exotic treasure!

Confronted with such a precious thing, Chen Feng certainly won’t let it go easily.

"Although the quality of the Silver Demon can’t be enhanced, its resilience is enough to withstand any attack from the Silver Realm, even the Silver Peak can’t break the Silver Demon’s defense instantly. This implies that in the event of an ambush, even a cold arrow from a Dark Elf won’t make me fear a one-hit kill!"

To learn from the strengths of many, to refine the body, this is also Chen Feng’s desire.

The body of the Flame Demon, the All-Seeing Eye, and now, if coupled with the membrane of the Silver Demon transformation, Chen Feng’s self-preservation ability would further advance.

Chen Feng held the Silver Demon in his hand, and then squeezed again, the opposite’s body instantly shattered into a pool of liquid, which he then poured over his own body.

A subsequent chill seized Chen Feng’s body, and within a few minutes, the liquid covered his body completely, leaving no gaps.

During the integration process, Chen Feng’s skin became incredibly smooth, even increased in brightness, the entire skin looked as delicate as a baby’s, seemingly fragile.

Yet Chen Feng knew, his defense has significantly increased, possessing the ability of [Pseudo. Elastic Skin], now he could stand there, letting ordinary zombies scratch, unable to break through his defense.

Although this Silver Demon was Wu Junwen’s opportunity, it has now been forcefully taken by Chen Feng, completely changing hands!

After quite a while, Chen Feng became completely familiar with the changes on his body, looking at Wu Junwen slumped on the ground, he spoke: "I’m someone who rewards and punishes clearly; if there’s merit, there’s reward, if there’s wrongdoing, there’s punishment. You defied me first, initially leaving you without hope, but you offered treasures meritoriously, not only do I let you live, but I also give you the role of head of the campsite’s logistics team. You are talented, although less powerful without the Silver Demon, with my protection, you need not worry about safety."

Narrowly escaping death and unexpectedly getting a position, Wu Junwen’s pain from losing the Silver Demon has now somewhat diminished; he lowered his head and loudly expressed gratitude.

"And you two, whatever good things you have, bring them all out! Now we share glory and losses, as long as it’s valuable, I won’t shy away from rewards!"

At this point, Chen Feng turned his gaze to Du Men and Zhang Jianxiong, opening his mouth demanding their cards be revealed completely, offered up to himself.

Du Men’s eyes flickered, and he spoke first: "My ability is plant control, I discovered some mutant plants, and after careful study during this time, I successfully cultivated them lately."

"These plants can grow up to two meters tall, appearing as huge red flowers, they have a strong territorial instinct, once a creature approaches, it would swallow the creature into its body, and its petals contain strong corrosive liquid; it doesn’t take long for the corpse to dissolve, even bones disappear without a trace, completely becoming fertilizer for the flower."

"However...to grow these flowers, ordinary water sources are useless, only fresh blood plasma will do!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng slightly moved.

These flowers have attacking capabilities; if these ’Cannibal Flowers’ are planted around the camp, they would be a natural barrier. Once insects or monsters intrude here, even without warriors in the field, Cannibal Flowers could devour them all.

Changes in this world are too numerous; not just insects, wildlife, even plants have mutated, in the wild, some plants even prey on living creatures, using flesh and blood as nourishment.

Chen Feng nodded: "Order will slaughter plenty of insects every day, there’s no worry about plasma, I want you to plant these ’Cannibal Flowers’ around the camp as soon as possible, not just that, if mutant plants are discovered outside, I’ll find ways to bring them back. Your task is to cultivate more valuable plants!"

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s promise, Du Men’s eyes immediately lit up warmly.

Du Men suffered polio as a child, without companions, his only hobby was fiddling with flora; who would’ve thought, upon apocalyptic awakening, his ability would relate to plants.

In the past days, he struggled to survive, hardly having any time to cultivate those mutant plants, but now, Chen Feng actually promises full support for his interests.

For Du Men, this is simply tremendous news!

At this moment, he completely accepts Chen Feng’s recruitment and joins [Order].

With Wu Junwen and Du Men resolved, only Zhang Jianxiong had yet to express himself. However, after all that had transpired, where would he dare refuse?

Zhang Jianxiong’s nature is rather fiery; during the rise, he’d resort to violence for disagreements, even on the underworld, he counts as a character.

But now...

Only now does he understand the meaning of there being people beyond people, skies beyond skies; Chen Feng’s ruthlessness surpasses his hundred-fold, in such circumstances, he respectfully says: "Although I hold nothing valuable now, at the base, there’s a talent; he can treat injuries, even reattach severed limbs with time, thanks to him, I narrowly escaped danger several times, surviving up till now."

Healer.

This is Chen Feng’s haunting worry, a profession he longed for.

Though healers don’t show offensive prowess, among major forces, they are populations of contention; they possess miraculous healing abilities, Zhang Jianxiong isn’t exaggerating. A healer ascended to Legend can reattach even severed limbs, let alone bones!"

"Your recruitment of talent counts as a major accomplishment; I have in my possession six teams, the head of the search team remains vacant, you will lead this team. Also, your ability is pure strength amplification; to become stronger, there’s a shortcut, just one word, eat! Ordinary rice or flour isn’t worth much, but here I can provide you ample insect meat daily, twenty pounds, thirty pounds, as long as you can eat it, I will supply fully. By then, within a month, your strength will soar further up!"

Chen Feng reincarnated once, having somewhat heard about professionals’ abilities; at this moment, a bit of guidance means immense benefit for Zhang Jianxiong, who immediately becomes truly convinced, vowing to work diligently for [Order].

Three recruited!

Chen Feng felt invigorated, as he looked at the three before him, his eyes sparkled with thoughts.

These three aren’t simple characters; recruiting them only brings advantages to [Order], not disadvantages.

Moreover, they have survived in the apocalypse so long, each with their own opportunities and foundations, and now, as they pledge loyalty to me, these opportunities are all seized!

Plunder! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Walking this far, Chen Feng doesn’t know how many opportunities he has seized, building the current base and strength.

If he sought all this alone, how much effort, manpower, and resources would it take to gather these opportunities? But now, with just a few words, Silver Demon, Cannibal Flower, and Healer fall into his grasp.

At this time, Chen Feng had a newfound understanding of so-called forces.

This is simply an act of devouring!

Gathering everyone’s opportunities, forging his own unique strength!

Now, just starting [Order], it has already brought him so many benefits; when the numbers explode, with hundreds, thousands of professionals breaking through, combined opportunities, what prosperity will [Order] achieve? And to what extent will he grow strong?!

Chen Feng clenched his fist, full of expectation.
