Chapter 27: Altar Summoning

Lady of Misfortune.

A bizarre encounter.

Chen Feng didn't make any excessive moves. In fact, he had some murderous thoughts, but they were quickly overthrown. Even if the lady before him was the future harbinger of calamity, there was no enmity between them. Most importantly, Chen Feng, with his strong intuition, estimated the success rate of killing her to be less than 60%.

Never underestimate anyone.

Especially someone who would become one of the dark overlords in the future.

This woman was not like Ma Biao. She exuded a strong aura of despair. People like her, who knows what kind of terrifying power they would unleash once awakened.

Out of caution, it was not wrong to eliminate an unstable factor. However, if unsuccessful, it would only create a powerful enemy, and that was not what Chen Feng hoped for.

"Hu…" The Lady of Misfortune let out a sigh. Fear and despair had already engulfed her surroundings. She lifted her head. Her disfigured face naturally weakened the courage of others. If it were some ordinary person, they might not even have the courage to meet her gaze.

Oppression.

There are countless styles of expertise.

Obviously, after awakening, she had obtained some expertise in oppression and intimidation. In battle, this expertise would weaken the courage of enemies and even deter the attacks of some monsters.

The woman displayed her mettle.

Looking at Chen Feng, a complex expression flickered in her eyes. Her expression seemed to carry a hint of reminiscence, as if she had forgotten something. However, when she cast her gaze upon the bodies outside the door, her eyes began to clear up. At the same time, anger, resentment, and endless hatred intertwined in her pupils.

"Thank you."

After a moment, a word escaped the woman's lips.

A complex feeling emerged in Chen Feng's heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He opened his hand and said softly, "It's nothing. Just something insignificant. If you need a way to vent, I can lend you the knife again for a while."

The woman, or the future Lady of Misfortune, remained somewhat composed. When she awakened, her memory was obviously somewhat muddled, but the bodies outside the door had awakened her consciousness.

Confusion.

This was Chen Feng's motivation for previously trying to kill her.

Extraordinary awakenings have certain side effects. Compared to inborn awakenings, those who have undergone dramatic ups and downs in their careers have experienced emotions of despair, panic, and anger before awakening. After awakening, there is a chance that they may enter a confused state, attacking everyone without consciousness.

This is not unprecedented. Some people, fleeing with their families, watched as monsters were about to kill their wives and children. In an instant, the man erupted and became a professional, but his brain was already confused by the impact of power. The consciousness before the confusion was to kill all enemies, and the result was that the man not only killed the monsters, but also his wife and daughter, leading to deep self-blame and ultimately death.

This was a game of wits.

If the Lady of Misfortune was controlled by confusion, then Chen Feng would not show mercy. Even if it meant risking hostility, he would try to deal a heavy blow to her as much as possible.

Previously, Chen Feng was probing, but the dark elves had already been prepared, holding arrows in their hands, while the lesser demons had their tentacles ready to move.

As it turned out, the Lady of Misfortune successfully regained consciousness from her confusion.

More importantly!

Chen Feng received the woman's gratitude. Kindness from a powerful master, if used properly, could completely yield unexpected returns.

Chen Feng had gained some advantage. He could feel that the Lady of Misfortune was on the verge of awakening. Even without him, those thugs would have no chance of survival.

Savior.

And now, Chen Feng had gained another title.

Of course!

He wasn't naive enough to think that he could subdue her and make her serve him.

The Lady of Misfortune was not like Xu Hongzhuang, who awakened in despair and cut her own face upon regaining consciousness. In a certain sense, she was already a lunatic.

Chen Feng was confident that with some manipulation, he could control women like Xu Hongzhuang, except for those with mental illnesses. The former could be won over through training to gain their loyalty, while the latter was more like a time bomb, with the potential to explode at any time.

They needed to keep a certain distance.

The Lady of Misfortune didn't make any extreme moves. She only confirmed the deaths of those thugs before dropping the bone-cutting knife, jumping out of the window, and disappearing into the night.

"Hiss…"

In the distance came some sharp and miserable screams. Compared to the dead, she needed living creatures more to vent her hatred.

It wasn't until he was sure of his own safety that Chen Feng truly breathed a sigh of relief. He had witnessed the rise of a strong individual. This was the end of days, and no one knew what they would encounter in the next second.

What he needed to do now.

Was only one thing: to become stronger.

Only with his own strength could he face all the unstable factors.

The awakening of Lady Misfortune had come to a close. What Chen Feng needed to consider now was how to clean up the outpost in front of him. Eleven corpses, a room full of blood, and the murderous aura would attract unnecessary trouble.

Blood?

Chen Feng furrowed his brow, and some thoughts flashed through his mind. Then he ordered the inferior demon to spit out the head of the Earth Dragon.

Because it was stored in the stomach, the dragon head was still as fresh as it was when it died. It opened its eyes wide, seemingly puzzled as to why it had been killed by ants.

The ability of summoners to protect themselves is through summoning. Although their own level limits the number of monsters they can summon, they can use other methods, such as scrolls and sacrifices, to perform some temporary summoning. Although these summoned beasts do not last permanently like dark elves, their time is only a few minutes. However, if used properly, they can completely reverse the situation. This kind of summoning is also more luck-based, because the contract time is only a few minutes. If the quality of the sacrifice is good, it may even attract the attention of some powerful beings.

Sacrifices were brewing in the night.

Cleaning up the blood would take a lot of time. Instead, it was better to use the blood to set up an array and turn the dragon head into a summoning altar.

Chen Feng arranged the bodies into a rudimentary "pentagram," and used a knife to draw blood from the arteries of these bodies. In just a few minutes, a shallow pool of blood formed.

Picking up the dragon head, Chen Feng gently placed it in the pool of blood.

The dragon head.

The blood-soaked ground.

Chen Feng attempted to create a rudimentary altar to communicate with the evil helpers from the abyss...
