Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Atop a roof, the Alien Queen firmly grasped a blood-soaked monster with her two large hands, pulling it to her mouth, while her two smaller, auxiliary hands secured the catch.

The extruding mouthparts gave the monster an icy chill through its heart.

Although the monster kept struggling, it did not hinder the Alien Queen\'s feeding.

"Eat later, tear it up first, wait until I\'ve taken the stuff," Tao Yu patted Da Hei\'s head, signaling it to use its claws to shred the monster into pieces, its blood spraying all over the place.

Da Hei\'s size, strength, and defense were far superior to Little Black\'s.

Little Black could still be breached by the attacks of ordinary monsters, but Da Hei, unless faced with particularly troublesome creatures, currently exerts a considerable suppressive force against normal monsters.

"Da Hei has saved me quite a bit of trouble, indeed, bringing it was the right choice, compensating for my lack of endurance," Tao Yu thought as he turned to look at Cao Shaolin and Wino.

When actively using shadow manipulation, they were quite strong.

But without it, their main strengths lay in tough skin and sheer force; dexterity was their shortcoming, after all.

These traits could hold their own, fifty-fifty, against stronger adversaries, and similarly, against weaker ones, it was often a fifty-fifty outcome.

"They mainly serve as bodyguards," Tao Yu decided.

As Tao Yu pondered, the monsters that came across the rooftop began converging their Yuan Force. Little Black diligently retrieved the items and handed them to Tao Yu, who rode on Da Hei\'s back, causing Da Hei to let out a dissatisfied roar.

"Let\'s go, how much further is it?" Tao Yu asked, looking at An Zhijie, whose complexion was somewhat pale.

"Not much further, you can see it now, look, that apartment building with the \'Green Home\' sign," An Zhijie, a pilot accustomed to the environment more than the average person, despite feeling nauseous from the gore, pointed toward a building ahead.

Tao Yu followed his gaze, noting the sign was a bit weathered, and the apartment had an old-fashioned style, complete with clothes poles on the roof – definitely a relic of another era.

"Right, let\'s head over... Hey, it looks like someone\'s in trouble."

With his keen eyesight, Tao Yu noticed someone on the side of the apartment using a rope to climb out the window, seemingly attempting to scale down in that manner, likely because a monster had appeared inside.

What the person didn\'t see, in their blind spot, was a large eye quietly observing them, with a tentacle-like neck beneath it reaching into the unseen area below.

The scene was somewhat familiar to Tao Yu.

"Have I seen this in a short video...?" he wondered, unsure since this area harbored many kinds of creatures. Tao Yu remembered distinctly a Goblin with excellent hearing and a scar-faced brute who could pummel reddish monsters.

Since it was An Zhijie\'s home apartment, without further hesitation, Tao Yu pulled out his AT200.

With an effective range of eight hundred meters, the rifle was more than sufficient.

Raising the gun to aim, with "Basic Shooting" and "Intuitive Shooting" skills, and his own related talents, even from this distance, with a three-shot burst from Tao Yu, the giant eye monster\'s eye instantly burst.

Its neck fell towards the ground below.

The man about to climb down only then realized in horror that there was a monster beside him, and the outside seemed even more dangerous than inside the apartment, so he scrambled back into the room. Tao Yu also saw two children in the room reaching out the window to assist him.

"Let\'s head over, there are monsters in your apartment, who\'s in your family?" Tao Yu then asked.

"Just my foster father and the caregiver," An Zhijie replied, his voice laden with worry, not expecting the situation to develop so quickly that even the inside of the apartment was unsafe...

Hearing An Zhijie\'s words, Tao Yu had the Alien Queen speed up. His gunfire seemed to have also drawn the attention of two nearby monsters that started running over from the adjacent rooftop.

But they appeared to be two smaller Karamis. With a roar, the Alien Queen dispatched both monsters, ripping them apart with both hands and mouth.

"Bag the meat first," Tao Yu said, not bothering to wait for the Yuan Force to gather, directing Little Black to pick up the pieces and follow.

And so, the group—a mix of two humans, two aliens, and two zombies—arrived at the side of the Green Home apartment building. Da Hei leaped onto the roof with a heavy thump, shaking it slightly.

At that moment, a handsome young man with a mop just came out onto the roof, staring at the horrifically featured Alien Queen dripping with blood in her hands.

He then saw Little Black, with a bloody backpack, and stood there dumbfounded, dropping his mop with a clatter to the ground.

Even though he had seen monsters before, the sight before him remained shockingly impactful.

Then, spotting two lively figures besides, and two people riding atop the beasts, Che Xianxiu simply rolled his eyes back and fainted.

"The young folks these days sure are healthy; just hit the ground and they\'re out like a light," Tao Yu commented with a raised eyebrow, looking over at the handsome face, feeling it somewhat familiar—he might not remember the name, but it was probably one of those celebrity faces.

Perhaps this was where the short video he had seen took place.

"With this fragment of the world being so small, the chances of a Heart of the World are slim, but if there\'s still a \'Chosen One\' around, it might still be worth some money," Tao Yu pondered inwardly.

"He\'s in a coma, is this a sign of infection?"

An Zhijie grew somewhat alarmed at this moment.

"Maybe, doesn\'t matter—seeing how he turns into a monster could be interesting."

Tao Yu\'s words left An Zhijie a bit dumbfounded. This person had been so cold all along; why the sudden change of heart?

Shouldn\'t we eradicate the danger before it can grow?

Back then, when you forced me to work for you, you didn\'t have this attitude.

For a moment, the ordinary-looking An Zhijie felt a little hurt. Is this a world that judges by appearances?

But the boy who passed out is a guy...

However, without a word from Tao Yu, An Zhijie wouldn\'t dare overstep and do anything.

"You\'re right..."

By the time they reached the roof of the house, An Zhijie had grown impatient to check on his foster father\'s condition.

"Da Hei, you stay here. Feel free to fight back if you\'re attacked, but no slacking off."

Tao Yu gave Da Hei a comforting pat before heading downstairs to pick up Che Xianxiu, handing her over to Cao Shaolin in a princess carry.

"Let\'s go, we should check on your father first."

Initially, Tao Yu just wanted to ease An Zhijie\'s mind; a pilot indeed counted as a talent.

But upon discovering that this might involve the \'Child of Destiny,\' Tao Yu naturally became more interested.

So far, the biggest score she had made was still \'selling\' Jack!

What followed was tough manual labor and investment, slowly earned over time—nothing compared to the quick money from selling a \'Chosen One\'!

The protagonist seemed to be infected too; I wonder if it\'s this kid.

As Tao Yu mused, she headed downstairs with An Zhijie. But whilst in the stairwell, Tao Yu slightly frowned and glanced toward the corridor.

"Don\'t move! Put him down!"

A man sitting in a wheelchair, holding a homemade firearm, aimed it fiercely at them.

Tao Yu hadn\'t even spoken when An Zhijie already positioned himself in front of the muzzle, spreading his arms.

"Don\'t be foolish, hurry up and put him down—you\'ve got it all wrong; we didn\'t hurt him, he fainted on his own, we are the good guys."

An Zhijie also felt nervous for the disabled uncle.

And before the uncle could say anything,

Little Black, lying on the ceiling, swept its tail and knocked the homemade firearm aside.

It was then that the wheelchair-bound uncle finally turned pale as he saw Little Black hiding in the shadows.

This thing is a good guy?

But at that moment, Tao Yu suddenly turned her head to the entrance of the stairs and said in a low voice to An Zhijie,

"Be careful."

The next moment, Tao Yu exploded on the spot, stirring up a blast of air, and in an instant, she reached the bottom of the stairs.

Meanwhile, several fleshy tentacles shot out violently, thudding into the concrete and piercing the walls!

Yet, Tao Yu, in a display of incredible Dexterity, twisted her body in mid-air, letting the several attacks graze right past her.

She spun at high speed in mid air, dodging the blows, and leveraged the railing to kick out.

Tao Yu\'s frame did not appear exaggerated, and the kick seemed to come naturally.

But the moment the sole of her foot touched the monster\'s body, a terrifying force surged into the beast!

Bang~

The creature exploded from the middle, purely fragmented by the infused force!

Gore splattered all over the walls.

The man in the wheelchair stared in disbelief.

You\'re the real monster, aren\'t you...

"Sorry, I didn\'t recognize it just now; I misunderstood. My apologies."

Though the disabled uncle lost both legs and was confined to a wheelchair, he still sincerely placed his hands on the armrest and bowed to Tao Yu.

"No worries; consider it as if I\'ve already broken your legs," Tao Yu replied dismissively, tongue in cheek.

She then pulled a fleshy tentacle embedded in the wall out.

Due to the tight space, eager to avoid complications, Tao Yu used a Qi and Blood Pill to instantly boost her strength for a decisive battle.

Without gathering force for an extended period, she still achieved an instant kill effect, as Yuan Force began to converge within this tentacle...
