Abyss Sequence

"Aooo!!!!!"

Agonizing pain pierced from the chest straight to the brain, and the Frost Bear let out a heartrending howl.

Yan Luo drove the car crashing into the backs of You Yifeng and Chen Shan, transmitting a massive force through them to the Giant Sword. Even though the Frost Bear's muscles were deeply connected to the Ruby, it couldn't withstand such power.

The Ruby was pried off by the Giant Sword and suddenly flew several kilometers away.

Although the Frost Bear wasn't dead, it lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

You Yifeng and Chen Shan were also knocked away, and the Giant Sword slammed into the side of the car, causing the hover car to roll wildly.

Even if Yan Luo wanted to control the car, it was completely out of his control, with parts moving randomly inside the vehicle, black smoke spewing from the vents, and the dashboard lights flickering unpredictably.

"Damn!"

Yan Luo punched the steering wheel, took a deep breath, then abruptly yanked off the seatbelt and kicked the car door open.

Thrown out by the car, Yan Luo adjusted his body in mid-air, landing his feet on the trunk of a tree.

Unable to stand on a tree trunk that's perpendicular to the ground, Yan Luo extended his left hand, thrusting his fingers into the trunk and gripping it tightly to prevent himself from falling.

"Help!"

Yan Luo used his special skill.

Around him, many City-breaking Level demons were eyeing him menacingly; he couldn't stay here long, especially with a City-breaking Level demon waiting below the tree for him to fall.

Wu Zechuan charged in, smashing the head of the City-breaking Level demon below Yan Luo in one hit.

Seeing this, Yan Luo sighed in relief. Without waiting for Wu Zechuan to reach him, he pulled out his left hand and jumped down from a height.

At a height of over ten meters, Yan Luo didn't even need to roll upon landing and could stand firmly on the ground.

However, the ground couldn't bear his weight, causing his feet to dig into the earth.

Yan Luo pulled his feet out of the soil, listening to the roars coming from other parts of the forest, and turned to look at Wu Zechuan.

"There aren't many left; we'll finish them off soon."

Wu Zechuan patted Yan Luo's shoulder, some electrical current passing through the exoskeleton and touching Yan Luo, making him shiver.

Seeing this, Wu Zechuan chuckled awkwardly, then transformed into lightning and dashed through the forest.

The Frost Bear temporarily lost its ability to move, freeing Wu Zechuan to hunt down the City-breaking Level demons.

As the most powerful hunter of the Crimson No. 2, City-breaking Level demons were nothing in front of Wu Zechuan. Before the Bright Silver Abyss raid failed, he was even thinking of leading a team to hunt the Master of the Abyss in the Crimson Abyss.

Standing in place, Yan Luo looked around, feeling powerless, and silently clenched his fists.

He was still too weak!

If nothing unexpected happened, as long as he entered the Abyss next, if he accidentally encountered a City-breaking Level demon, they would definitely hunt him.

Although the Abyss would be quiet for a while after the demon tide, without new City-breaking Level demons being born immediately, he'd still need to tread carefully once new ones appeared.

It would be great if he had the ability to kill City-breaking Level demons...

Though strong, City-breaking Level demons were quickly eliminated under the concerted attack of the advanced hunters.

With Wu Zechuan joining, and no disturbances from the Frost Bear, the Priest could achieve a perfect Magic Power cycle, repeatedly restoring the hunters' magic and stamina. Without any additional casualties, the City-breaking Level demons were all taken down.

None of those City-breaking Level demons even got close to Yan Luo before being killed by the advanced hunters.

They then turned their focus to the Frost Bear.

Like a small mountain sitting on the ground, the Frost Bear made one last struggle before being taken down by the concentrated fire of the advanced hunters.

With all City-breaking Level demons eliminated, it was almost possible to declare that the Crimson No. 2 survived this demon tide.

Since City-breaking Level demons were the hardest to deal with in demon tides, if the Abyss Entrance couldn't spawn more than three City-breaking Level demons at once, hunters wouldn't have chosen Blue Star as the battlefield.

Though exhausted, the hunters still collected the materials dropped by the City-breaking Level demons while heading towards the entrance.

Even for advanced hunters like them, the materials dropped by City-breaking Level demons were extremely valuable, with even a random item fetching a high price.

Since they killed the City-breaking Level demons in the Abyss this time, they could obtain materials from them, which is an additional income that other demon tide-stricken exploration towns couldn't have.

The advanced hunters had already discussed it; they planned to release the materials in batches over time. Otherwise, companies and enterprises would definitely lower the prices.

Though the hover car Yan Luo and Wu Zechuan drove into the Abyss was already damaged, most other hunters' vehicles were unharmed; with a bit of squeezing, they could still fit.

Yan Luo was pulled into the vehicle that Chen Shan drove into the Abyss by Wu Zechuan. As they walked back, they searched for the materials dropped by the City-breaking Level demons they killed earlier.

In the car, Wu Zechuan, Chen Shan, and Yan Luo chatted.

"This time, not only did we easily withstand the demon tide, but we also gained so much extra income, mainly thanks to you," Wu Zechuan said, patting Yan Luo's shoulder with a smile. "We've all agreed that you'll get 27% of the profits from selling those materials, while the rest will be divided among us."

Surprised, Yan Luo said, "27%? Isn't that too much?"

With over a hundred Sequence Three hunters sharing 63%, while he alone received 27%, Yan Luo felt he was getting too much.

"How could it be too much?" Chen Shan, who was driving, shook his head and listed Yan Luo's merits. "First, if it wasn't for you attracting the City-breaking Level demons, we wouldn't have been able to kill so many of them in the Abyss and get so many materials. Secondly, you saved all of our lives in the battle against the Frost Bear. Lastly, when the Ruby in the Frost Bear's chest was pried out, you put in a significant effort. You deserve this much, and we all agreed on that."

Hearing Chen Shan say this, Yan Luo didn't insist further.

Because he felt that he indeed deserved that share.

The materials from City-breaking Level demons were inherently more precious than those from most lower-level monsters, apart from rare materials like source metals; other materials couldn't compare.

The lowest price for the materials from a City-breaking Level demon was 210,000, and if the materials were rare enough, they could sell for up to 13 million.

Yan Luo calculated a bit, predicting that he could earn at least 80 million this time.

This wasn't even counting the materials from the Frost Bear.

Yan Luo asked Wu Zechuan, "What materials did the Frost Bear drop?"

At this, Wu Zechuan's expression became a bit strange.

"... A bunch of meat."

Yan Luo was stunned too.

Then he widened his eyes, "A bunch of meat?!"

Though not a true Disaster-level demon, the Frost Bear's strength came from the Ruby in its chest, yet it had wielded Disaster-level power, making that pile of meat technically from a Disaster-level demon.

Yan Luo couldn't estimate its value, thinking that the meat could likely fetch an astronomical price.

At that moment, Wu Zechuan received a message, glanced at it nonchalantly, then became serious and sat up straight.

"Ah Shan, drive northwest."

Chen Shan was puzzled and asked while turning the wheel, "What's up?"

Wu Zechuan took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice, "Li Zhengyang discovered the Ruby."

Yan Luo and Chen Shan were both stunned.

Ruby?

"The Ruby from the Frost Bear's chest?!" Chen Shan widened his eyes and exclaimed.

Logically, that Ruby should have disappeared, impossible to preserve.

But unexpectedly, Li Zhengyang found that Ruby, confirming it still existed in the world!

Wu Zechuan nodded, looked deeply into the distance, lost in thought.

As the president of the Scarlet No. 2 Hunter's Guild, Wu Zechuan went to retrieve the Ruby, while the other advanced hunters continued towards the entrance.

With all City-breaking Level demons eliminated, advanced hunters joining the battlefield quickly removed all demons surrounding the entrance.

Thus, the demon tide of the Crimson No. 2 officially ended, earlier than any demon tide in any exploration town worldwide.

Gradually, the hunters of the Crimson No. 2 realized that their ability to end the demon tide ahead of schedule was largely thanks to Yan Luo.

Without Yan Luo, this demon tide could have caused great destruction here.

—Yan Luo turned out to be everyone's savior?
