Abyss Sequence

"Yo? Yan Luo, you're back?"

The Hunter who was greeting Yan Luo suddenly stopped, then quickly gave an ambiguous smile, nudging his arm with an elbow, "Last night was fun, huh?"

"Not really." Yan Luo replied, "The opponent was too weak."

Hearing that, the Hunter's eyes widened in surprise, drawing in a sharp breath.

"You, this you..."

After all, Yan Luo's extraordinary abilities were all focused on his physical attributes, unlike those of Engravers who might just be slightly more robust than ordinary people when their engravings weren't activated.

A virgin's situation is as obvious as lipstick marks on a shirt collar; the Hunter could tell at a glance that Yan Luo was no longer inexperienced.

He initially intended to tease him but unexpectedly ended up being the one who got caught off guard.

Yan Luo walked into Fort One, where many Hunters greeted him with mischievous and teasing smiles.

Nobody knew whether it was some lucky woman or man who got to experience Yan Luo.

"Class reunion... Hmm, seems like it was pretty good."

Seeing Yan Luo, You Yifeng initially wanted to ask him how the class reunion went, where he hurried off last night, but upon seeing Yan Luo, he too showed a comforting smile like that of a proud father.

He patted Yan Luo heavily on the shoulder and winked at him, "Do you want me to teach you a few tricks?"

"No need." Yan Luo shook his head, "I wasn't even satisfied before she fainted."

You Yifeng paused, smacking his lips, savoring Yan Luo's words.

After a few seconds, he shared his thoughts: "All those physical abilities are really something!"

Yan Luo said, "Enough about me, how are things with the Forbidden Demon Abyss now?"

When talking about this, You Yifeng shrugged, "What else? The demon tide has been repelled, so the Forbidden Demon Abyss shouldn't be able to bother us for a while. I think this last demon tide might have been because we got close to the Master of the Abyss's hiding place, prompting it to launch a demon tide to conceal itself."

Previously, when the Forbidden Demon Abyss attacked Lingquan City, it consumed many demons, and now without fully recovering, the Master of the Abyss organized another demon tide, indicating they hit its sore spot, forcing it to react.

"The Master of the Abyss might be hiding within the area we've already explored, so next, as long as we follow the map to track it down, we can eliminate the Forbidden Demon Abyss!"

Saying it is easy, doing it is hard.

Even though they know the Master of the Abyss might be hiding in the area the Hunters have already mapped out, they've explored most of the Forbidden Demon Abyss, and even a carpet search would take several months.

Yan Luo frowned and walked past You Yifeng, "I'm going hunting for demons."

You Yifeng grabbed Yan Luo, "Wait, with your personality, you didn't just find a random girl outside, right? You knocked her out and left her?"

Thinking it over, Yan Luo realized doing such might be a bit over the line, so he quietly turned and headed toward the Abyss Entrance.

Watching his back, You Yifeng laughed, "That's the spirit, go comfort her, don't let her be sad!"

......

After thinking for several days, the Lord of Gass City finally decided to ask Sasa about what happened in the Courtyard.

"Miss Sasa, after you asked me about the Evil God, you hurried back to the Courtyard. Was it because you encountered an Evil God as well?"

Upon hearing this, Sasa's expression turned grave, and she nodded, "My friend Yan Luo, while exploring an Abyss — or 'Secret Realm' in your Elven language — saw an Evil God in its entirety, though it was already dead. We don't know if he might become like those mad whisperers."

When Sasa returned to Alfheim, she hadn't received any news from Yan Luo and didn't know if he had gone mad.

"Yan Luo..." The Lord of Gass City was a bit shocked.

He didn't expect the victim to be Yan Luo.

The Lord of Gass City had a deep impression of Yan Luo, knowing he was a good man, but seeing a complete Evil God, and only being at the master rank, he might've gone mad too.

For this, the Lord of Gass City felt it was a pity.

Someone as good as Yan Luo ending up with a mad ending...

"Your Excellency, Lord, thank you for your care during this time. We must go back now." Sasa thanked the Lord of Gass City.

The convoy had already returned yesterday, but this time they had traveled far and needed a day of rest after returning to Gass City.

Those in need of the rest were mainly the Red Rose Warband, who faced many challenges on this trade mission.

Now that they've rested, naturally, they must return to Blue Star.

Sasa got into Helena's armored vehicle and led the convoy back to Blue Star.

Helena gripped the steering wheel, looking at Sasa in the passenger seat, and asked, "I heard you went back to Blue Star before?"

Sasa nodded, "I inquired about the Evil God from the Lord of Gass City, realizing that Yan Luo might have seen an Evil God in its entirety and could become like those Elves who once encountered an Evil God, turning into a madman, so I rushed back to Blue Star to warn them. I waited on Blue Star for days without any news from Yan Luo, so I came back."

Upon hearing this, Helena frowned, "Could Yan Luo really become a madman?"

With Yan Luo's strength, if he turned into a madman, filled with destructive desires, it could cause significant damage to the defensive lines against the Forbidden Demon Abyss. Hunters in the Abyss might also be killed by him.

Moreover, Yan Luo is the only Saint on Blue Star, the only one who can produce Saint's Blood and Saint's Marrow.

The United Government might not want to kill Yan Luo, only to find a way to imprison him, but given Yan Luo's current ability, he is nearly impossible to imprison.

In any case, if Yan Luo went mad, it would be a serious problem.

"Let's just hope Yan Luo hasn't gone mad!" Helena sighed.

At the predetermined location, Sasa took out the Jade and opened the space channel, with trucks and armored vehicles passing through one by one, returning to the Crimson Abyss.

Helena's armored vehicle was the last one, but as she drove through the space channel, a strange feeling suddenly came over her.

"Are demons chasing us?"

Before Helena could open the rear camera view, the armored vehicle suffered a heavy blow.

Boom!

A sniper bullet struck the vehicle's window like a cannonball, nearly shattering the bulletproof glass.

Sasa instinctively let out a scream and immediately looked towards Helena in panic, "Wh-what's going on?"

Helena's eyes turned red instantly, opening the car radio to inform the entire team, "Everyone, stay alert, we're under attack, possibly by Abyssal Believers! Radar, full power on! Damn those Abyssal Believers' mothers!"

The bulletproof glass of the driver's seat was almost broken; if the glass broke, she could have died.

So now, Helena was very angry!

All the Hunters from the Red Rose Warband activated their engravings, and the retired Hunters in the group also activated theirs. The vehicle radars were at full power, suddenly detecting dozens of unknown units outside the team's communications channel.

Knowing they had been detected, the Abyssal Believers stopped hiding and charged out from their hiding places.

One Abyssal Believer sat on the armored vehicle's gun turret and fiercely pulled the trigger, letting a metallic storm spray out.

The Mage from the Red Rose Warband set up a stasis field across the convoy's side through the car door, greatly slowing down the bullets' flying speed after passing through the field.

Immediately afterward, numerous smoke bombs were thrown into the center of the battlefield, and smoke began to spread over the battlefield.

The Red Rose Warband thought it would be a dangerous and terrifying battle, but suddenly an elderly female voice intruded into their communication channel.

"Cease your attack, I'll handle these Abyssal Believers myself!"

In the smoke-covered battlefield, an exoskeleton descended from the sky, waving to clear the smoke around it, revealing eleven rings of engravings behind it.

Helena's pupils shrunk, "Eleven engravings, that is..."

"[The World's Strongest Woman]?!"

Many Abyssal Believers cried out in surprise.

The exoskeleton standing on the battlefield lifted its head, a glint of light flashing across the visor, as exuberant laughter emanated from the speakers.

"That's right, it's me—

"Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova!"

The old lady raised her chain-saw sword, roaring as she charged at the Abyssal Believers.
