Abyss Summoner

Chapter 556 - 543: Su Tan

This was a remote, inconspicuous large village, where many surrounding places have already become desolate. They gathered resources and personnel together, backed by the mountains so only three sides need defense. Simple protective fences made of wooden planks are everywhere, but the most noticeable are the three watchtowers, used to monitor enemy movements.

This seemingly small camp controls a mountain spring, surrounded by plenty of vegetables and grains being planted. The water gently flows down, providing drinking water for the people and irrigation for these vegetables. Inside are men and women, whose clothes are ragged yet their spirits are excellent. Each has a clear division of labor, some repairing, some planting, some washing clothes. Compared to the wretches struggling outside, the people here are hardworking but their eyes are filled with something called hope.

They focus their gaze on a building at the center of the village. It is the person inside who has brought them unimaginable rebirth.

There were loud noises outside just now, rumors spreading that several other forces had clashed and even led to fatalities.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as she’s here, everything is not a problem.

This is an extreme blind faith, or perhaps it is more aptly termed as belief.

Inside the building, several figures were gathered together. At the center was a woman in her twenties, with long black hair, serene expression, exuding a rich scholarly air, like a teacher or educator. Strikingly, her eyes flickered with faint golden light.

In an instant.

The air in the room seemed to tremble slightly.

She seemed to be under substantial pressure, her brow furrowed, her arm trembled, and her face turned slightly pale.

"I saw Wang Duan."

"Someone killed him, I saw blood, a faceless monster ripped Wang Duan’s body apart with its arm, blood, blood was everywhere."

"Shi Xiong appeared at the scene, he summoned a golden dragon, but it seemed to have no effect on the monster. He wanted to strike again, but suddenly a head was thrown from afar."

"Li Hongyi is dead, that monster was the pet of that young man. The monster that killed Wang Duan actually knelt on the ground."

"Shi Xiong won, he left, but his face was terrifyingly dark... Yan Xiu became the nominal ruler of Li Hongyi’s forces."

"Woof! Woof woof..." The woman’s voice had just fallen when a series of urgent barking sounded from the side.

"Ah Fei, calm down!"

A dense fog spread, and suddenly a mist appeared in the room. From the blurred figure, it was a woman who emerged. One leg, a slender white leg, very beautiful and delicate, like carved ivory, with a red string tied around the ankle, from which a dark golden Buddha statue hung, radiating majesty and solemnity as it lightly touched the ground.

She was stunningly beautiful, to the point of making one forget her appearance. This beauty was not external, but more the essence radiating from inside out.

Her bright eyes coldly surveyed everything before her, carrying no trace of anomaly.

Before her stood a petite figure, only about 1.5 meters tall, with short hair, the pure white garments outlining youthful curves, wearing low-rise denim below, exposing a small patch of fair skin that shimmered like peeled pear, making one’s heart skip.

Clearly a beautiful young girl, but her actions were somewhat unusual. She tilted her head, pursed her lips, seeming scolded, revealing a bit of grievance. Unlike the complex emotions of humans, her eyes were pure, as if devoid of worries, only innocence and playfulness.

The most surprising was that she had a long thin tail between her legs, adding a playful yet wild touch.

Dog slave Ah Fei.

The apocalyptic awakening, full of countless possibilities, some lucky ones could fully control power, becoming beings beyond limits, whereas some due to overly strong powers underwent unknown mutations.

Ah Fei too was a professional, but her overly strong power caused slight brain damage. During battles, power could multiply several or even dozens of times, turning her into a humanoid weapon, but wisdom and actions were confined by power, inclining her towards a puppy.

If Chen Feng were here, he might be surprised, as Ah Fei was analogous to those Half-Beastmen who only possessed basic instincts, unable to think.

As for solutions, they aren’t non-existent, as long as one day she could enter the Golden Tier, intelligence would slowly return, remembering her human identity. For complete recovery, only entry into the legendary tier would bring such miracles.

Under the girl’s gaze, Ah Fei previously sounding sharp, now clasped the corners of her clothes, somewhat quivering. Among the entire faction, she was closest to Su Tan, their relationship akin to the attitude Inferior Demon held towards Chen Feng.

Su Tan.

Like a full moon hanging in the sky, carrying a flavor of coldness and inviolability, the woman lightly exhaled. She was the ruler here, also the creator of this camp, she was Su Tan, and also the future queen.

"It seems an extraordinary figure has appeared in the gorge, causing Shi Xiong to suffer a setback. I don’t think this matter will be resolved easily."

The previously gold-eyed woman came over, with a relatively tall build, especially her long legs exuding allure. She was Cottonwood, her ability was prophecy, an incredibly magical power. Within the confines of energy, she could foresee many events, even avoiding danger if necessary.

Cottonwood, Ah Fei, were clearly Su Tan’s most capable generals.

Although Su Tan wasn’t very ambitious, in the apocalypse she understood well that lacking power would ultimately lead to being treated like a pig awaiting slaughter. Thus, she gathered confidants, striving to build her home, and importantly, ensuring protection from threats.

"Troubled times." Su Tan rubbed her brows as she spoke.

Though Su Tan had a cold nature, she wasn’t devoid of concerns. To her, the land she built was the lifeblood of her and her confidants.

Living amid the apocalypse, she wasn’t a rose blooming in a greenhouse.

Beautiful, chilly, leading will and outstanding leadership, she resembled a snow lotus blossoming atop a peak, earning people’s adoration and admiration.

She feared neither cold winds nor any challenges.

She wouldn’t tolerate anyone harming this land, whether it be Shi Xiong, Lin Tianxiu, monsters, or any mysterious individuals, anyone daring to lay hands on this land, she would retaliate.

"Strangers?"

Su Tan furrowed her elegant brows, speaking to Cottonwood: "Keep an eye on their movements, notify me immediately if anything changes..."
