Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

"Collaboration?"

Ella raised an eyebrow, her demeanor relaxing significantly. "So, you’ve made up your mind to escape?"

"More or less." Chu Xiu replied ambiguously.

He simply waved his hand, and in the next instant, a massive creature suddenly appeared beside them!

It was a giant golden bird, with a peculiar round jewel embedded on its head. Its golden pupils exuded an indescribable majesty.

Ella was taken aback, "This is..."

"This is my summoned creature," Chu Xiu said.

The artifact he summoned was naturally the corpse of Garuda!

Ever since Chu Xiu slew hundreds of Horned Demons two days ago, he had thrown their corpses into the ritual refinement of Garuda’s Flying Corpse!

To refine a King Tier Flying Corpse, the flesh energy of hundreds of General Tiers was more than sufficient. However, considering that Garuda was extremely close to a Heroic Spirit and possessed part of a God’s power, achieving absolute perfection might require nearly two hundred General Tiers.

But even so, the energy from hundreds of Horned Demons was enough to complete the initial refinement, the only concern was the time it would take.

At this point, Chu Xiu was no longer the small Fierce Tier from the Corpse Demon World; he was now a powerful existence whose attributes surpassed ordinary Heroic Spirits! The speed of his refinement had increased tenfold or more!

Although he wasn’t focusing solely on the refinement due to his need to cultivate his body, even a slight diversion of effort to activate the [Perfect Refining] could yield excellent results.

Not to mention, after refining the [Heavy Sword Chiwen], he had several hours of spare time, all of which he dedicated to refining this Flying Corpse.

This meant that the refinement of the Flying Corpse was more than halfway complete!

Only a little finishing work remained, and Chu Xiu estimated that with his full activation of [Perfect Refining], it would take no more than two or three hours to complete.

"This is my latest summoned creature, and though it is not completely refined yet, once fully refined, it will definitely possess speed that surpasses ordinary Heroic Spirits!"

"You can move within the Shadow Space, your understanding of space and personal agility goes without saying. However, in terms of absolute speed, you might be slightly lacking," Chu Xiu said.

His words were true; although Ella was exceptionally agile, in terms of absolute speed, she probably wasn’t as fast as Chen Yuan.

To Chu Xiu’s statement, Ella frowned and said, "So, what you’re implying is..."

"We collaborate," Chu Xiu said. "I’ll give you this summoned creature, and you help me transport a few people out."

Chu Xiu candidly revealed his plan!

He didn’t plan to run away, but intended to use Ella to first transport his parents out!

This way, he could fight without any worries; to him, this dangerous Black Death Prison would become a place to gain experience and level up through fighting monsters!

Faced with Chu Xiu’s proposal, Ella did not immediately respond but instead scrutinized Garuda and said, "This bird-beast’s energy is indeed immense, but it’s still only King Tier."

"A King Tier creature, even with a specialty in speed, would find it extremely difficult to match ordinary Heroic Spirits. I have no reason to carry such a huge burden just for a little boost in speed."

Chu Xiu seemed to have foreseen Ella’s doubts and just flipped his wrist, revealing a pair of massive golden wings in front of him, "How about adding this?"

Ella’s pupils slightly contracted upon the appearance of the golden wings. She recognized this artifact as the equipment Chu Xiu had been wearing in battle! It possessed the superpower of tearing through space!

She took Garuda’s Wings, examined its attributes closely, and suddenly revealed an expression of understanding.

"Did this equipment drop from that big bird?"

Chu Xiu nodded, "I might as well tell you, my summoned creature is a resurrected corpse by special means, and due to the shared origin, this equipment can perfectly merge with this corpse."

"Moreover, among those I need you to transport, one person possesses numerous supportive Secret Techniques."

"With the addition of these three factors, this summoned creature can achieve an astonishing speed, far beyond ordinary Heroic Spirits!"

Chu Xiu was referring, of course, to the Blood Demon Incarnation.

It possessed a powerful Blood Demon Enhancement Skill, which, while in the Peach Blossom Spring, could cause a General Tier Flying Corpse to achieve speed surpassing King Tier, let alone the Flying Corpse refined by Garuda!

With this guy, even if breaking through the Black Death Prison fails in the end, protecting his parents on a return attempt shouldn’t be too difficult.

As for losing Garuda’s Wings, while it would decrease Chu Xiu’s agility, with his frightening Constitution of forty thousand, the loss wasn’t that significant.

Garuda’s Wings were mainly strong for long-distance straight flight; in city ground battles, Chu Xiu, with his formidable Constitution, could manage just fine.

Chu Xiu’s words once again plunged Ella into contemplation.

After a while, she finally nodded, "If your summoned creature is indeed as powerful as you claim, then I don’t mind collaborating with you."

Pausing, as if recalling something, she added, "There’s one more thing, the issue with Chen Yuan needs you to handle."

Without much thought, Chu Xiu agreed readily.

Having reached an agreement, they both sighed slightly in relief.

Next, Ella went to prepare artifacts to increase the success rate of the evacuation, while Chu Xiu didn’t rush to leave, merely gazing intently at the distant Horned Demon army, a contemplative expression on his face.

To be safe, he probably should leave with Ella, since staying here, even without risking his life, could potentially waste the extremely precious [Deep Diving Safety Rope]. From any angle, it was an action whose risks far outweighed its benefits.
