Chapter 253 Understanding the Abyss

"In that battle, more than 200,000 people died. The Tang Sect's Douluo Hall Master of that generation died in the battle with an Abyss Plane Emperor. Four of the Tang Sect's Shrek Seven Devils died. Ten of the eighteen War Gods of the War God Hall died. Three of the four great Spirit Masters of the Spirit Pagoda died. One of the three main and deputy hall masters died, and one was seriously injured. It was extremely tragic."

Long Yuxue said: "The strongest person in Shrek Academy now seems to be the Seagod Pavilion Master, but before, since Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, the Shrek Seven Devils were not elected every fifty years, but for life. At that time, the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils was the Seagod Pavilion Master."

"The blood of our ancestors was not shed in vain. The abyss creatures were repelled and retreated back to their original plane. Five of the seven emperor-level abyss masters perished in that battle."

"The leader of the Seven Emperors of the Abyss was severely injured by the combined efforts of the Tang Sect Douluo Hall Master and the Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master of that generation, who was also the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation. Countless other abyss creatures died."

"Since then, our ancestors forcibly sealed the abyss passage. Although they failed to seal it completely, it was difficult for abyss creatures above the king level to pass through the passage. The Blood God Legion was also established at that time. It was initiated by the four major organizations with only one purpose, which was to guard the passage and prevent abyss creatures from descending again."

"We have no idea where the abyss creatures live, but they are extremely powerful. For more than six thousand years, they have been thinking about invading our world all the time, so they have been attacking the seal, and we are doing our best to protect the seal."

Long Yuxue said: "Didn't you receive the Blood God Ring today? This is a soul guide that records the merits you gain. Every time you kill an abyss creature, you can get the corresponding merit."

"Our special service department is mainly responsible for carrying out various tasks. The other day you saw me guarding the outer perimeter of the legion. I was filling in for a friend. Under normal circumstances, that is not our job scope. Our most important task is reconnaissance and providing various materials and specimens to the research institute."

"The combat troops and the abyss creatures have to rotate and resupply, etc. Moreover, the abyss creatures will not come all the time. The main task of the combat troops is to guard the abyss passage and not let any of them out."

"But our special service is different. The most important thing about our mission is reconnaissance. We will go to the place closest to the entrance of the space channel, and we may even go to the abyss plane to conduct reconnaissance to find more information and situations about the abyss creatures."

"If you discover a new species and bring back a specimen, that's a very important achievement. If you want to be promoted faster, it's definitely best to work in our special services department in the early stages."

"Within a certain rank, personal military merit is important, but above a certain rank, especially above lieutenant colonel, command ability will also be counted as merit, because high-ranking officers must have command ability, otherwise they cannot be promoted to higher positions."

"Even if you can, even if you have a high military rank, you are just a guest official in the army and cannot directly command the army."

"Your abilities have been tested through the assessment. In the next month, I will further test your abilities and arrange tasks for you. The biggest advantage of our special service department is that we are different from combat troops. We don't have overall deployment and can enter the abyss channel for reconnaissance and combat at any time."

"What are you thinking about?" Long Yuxue asked suddenly.

Huan Ling said truthfully: "Do you know the current situation of the nine blood gods in the Blood God Camp?"

"You want to challenge the Blood God!?" Long Yuxue stared at Huan Ling with eyes wide open.

"Yes." Huan Ling nodded, "But not now, I will challenge him when I have time." Long Yuxue thought of what Xue Yi said before, and said to Huan Ling: "The Blood God Camp now has nine blood gods. Xue Er is the former Xue San, you know him, and the current Xue San is the former Xue Er, a level 97 Super Douluo three-character battle armor master from the War God Temple."

"Xue Yi is from the Tang Sect. He is the leader of the Tang Sect, Wuqing Douluo, and has the ninety-nine-level Extreme Douluo four-character battle armor."

"And the remaining nine blood gods also come from various major forces. Blood Four and Blood Six are from Shrek Academy. They are level ninety-six Super Douluo and level ninety-five Super Douluo respectively, and three-character battle armor masters."

"Blood Five and Blood Nine are from the Temple of War God. Blood Five is a level ninety-six Super Douluo, and Blood Nine is a level ninety-three Titled Douluo. Both are three-character battle armor masters."

"Then Blood Seven and Blood Eight are from the Tang Sect, ninety-five level Super Douluo three-character battle armor masters."

Long Yuxue said: "Since Blood One, because of the arrival of Blood Two, everyone's ranking has regressed. The original Blood Nine is now the deputy commander of the Blood Division, with the rank of major general."

"In the Blood God Camp, only Blood One is a general, Blood Two is a lieutenant general, and the others are major generals. If you become a Blood God, you can directly get the rank of major general."

"That's about the situation. But even if you plan to challenge the Blood God, you should at least understand the Abyss first."

Long Yuxue said: "Next, I will tell you about the currently known situation of the Abyss Plane and the overview of various Abyss creatures in the Abyss Plane."

Long Yuxue is a good instructor. She explains things to Huanling in great detail, and Huanling listens very carefully. If he has any questions, he will ask them immediately, and Long Yuxue will answer them one by one.

With a deeper understanding of the Abyss Plane, Huan Ling felt more and more the greatness of the Blood God Legion. According to Long Yuxue's description, among all the soldiers of the Blood God Legion serving here, less than half were able to complete the ten-year service and leave.

Although human technology is constantly advancing and experience in fighting against the abyss is increasing, casualties are still unavoidable.

Moreover, the various equipments of the Blood God Legion are almost the strongest equipments that human beings can possess at present.

If one wants to join the Blood God Corps, one must first improve one's cultivation to the fourth ring or above. The fourth ring soul sect is the entry threshold to the Blood God Corps. Not to mention the army, even the most demanding sects cannot have such a requirement. Moreover, one cannot be a pure soul engineer, one must be a soul master.

In the battle with the creatures of the abyss, weapons are often only auxiliary. If one's own strength is not strong enough, it is impossible to maintain continuous combat.

Fighting for a long time on the plateau and in the ice and snow is a great test of the soldiers' strength and mental will. Therefore, although less than half of the people here can retire smoothly, in fact, many people are eliminated early because they cannot support themselves mentally. (End of this chapter)
