Abyss Sequence-Chapter 444 - 19: Anomaly in the Bright Silver Abyss
As the saying goes, one stone causes a thousand ripples. Once Yan Luo made his statement, it immediately provoked exclamations from the Hunters.
"What?"
"Alone? Did I hear wrong?"
"Yan Luo, are you planning to conquer the Bright Silver Abyss by yourself?"
"Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this a bit too arrogant? Even other Sequence Twos don’t have the courage to do this, how dare you?"
Faced with Yan Luo’s bold words, the Hunters displayed a skeptical attitude.
Even someone as strong as Yulia would bring a strategy team when conquering an Abyss to avoid being besieged by other Demons while fighting the Master of the Abyss.
Previously, when Yan Luo conquered the Forbidden Demon Abyss, he also needed to lead a strategy team.
"How do I dare?"
Yan Luo laughed, clenching his fist, "Of course, it’s because of strength! Other Hunters worry about being besieged when conquering an Abyss, but I am not worried. By comparison, I am more concerned about sneak attacks from behind, which is why I plan to conquer the Bright Silver Abyss alone!"
Now that Yan Luo is powerful and has reached the limits of Sequence Two, ordinary Demons joining the battle between him and the Master of the Abyss are more likely to be killed by the aftermath.
Even if multiple Catastrophe Level Demons appear on the battlefield, Yan Luo is not worried about being surrounded by them.
Other Hunters worry about being besieged because they themselves are fragile. Yan Luo is different; his body’s strength can be compared to that of a Catastrophe Level Demon, and his recovery speed is astonishingly fast. Even if injured, it’s not a problem at all.
When facing Catastrophe Level Demons, he can fully engage in a battle strategy of injury for injury.
Because of this, Yan Luo is confident in conquering the Bright Silver Abyss alone.
Hearing Yan Luo’s words, the Hunters couldn’t help but recall the previous failure to conquer the Bright Silver Abyss, falling silent.
The failure was all because of the Abyssal Believers shooting from behind. If not for this, that strategy team would have surely been able to eliminate the Bright Silver Abyss.
With this lesson learned, Yan Luo certainly won’t want to lead a team into the Bright Silver Abyss again.
Information about the Bright Silver Abyss can be found easily online, but what Yan Luo wants to know are the insider rumors circulating within the Hunters’ circles, unknown to outsiders.
Two people rose from their seats and sat across from Yan Luo. The two exchanged a glance and quickly decided who would speak first.
The surrounding Hunters returned to their usual routine of drinking, boasting, and fighting, as if nothing had just happened.
They didn’t pester Yan Luo or insist on joining the Bright Silver Abyss raid because most of them had been with Yan Luo for over a year, understanding what kind of person he was—once he makes up his mind, he won’t change it.
Even if they had the gift of gab, they couldn’t persuade Yan Luo to change his mind.
The older-looking of the two Hunters sitting across from Yan Luo opened his mouth and said, "Recently, the Bright Silver Abyss... hasn’t been very stable."
Yan Luo looked over, "How so?"
The older Hunter said, "The number of Advanced Demons is increasing, like around here, City-breaking Level Demons haven’t returned to their original numbers, but over at the Bright Silver Abyss, not only has it returned to its original numbers, it even has a tendency to keep rising."
Hearing this, Yan Luo couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The development progress of the two Abysses is different, and the standard of ’original number of City-breaking Level Demons’ is also different.
The Bright Silver Abyss has existed longer than the Crimson Abyss. The Crimson Abyss only has the Bone-Eroding Plain and Crescent Mountain Range with more City-breaking Level Demons, whereas in the Bright Silver Abyss, all areas have a significant number of City-breaking Level Demons.
Under these conditions, the Bright Silver Abyss can nurture Catastrophe Level Demons.
Of course, Catastrophe Level Demons don’t exist all the time; as soon as they appear and are observed by Hunters, Advanced Hunters immediately hunt them down.
Because of this, typically the Bright Silver Abyss doesn’t have Catastrophe Level Demons active, and most Demons active there are City-breaking Level.
For Hunters active in the Bright Silver Abyss, this is a double-edged sword — good and bad.
This means the operating range of Low-level Hunters is further compressed, and most Hunters operating in the Abyss are Low-level. Hunters above Sequence Three account for less than twenty percent of the total.
This is mainly because the power level of the Bright Silver Abyss is relatively high, and Hunters in it either advance themselves or die.
Eighty percent of Hunters need to operate in a narrow area, leading to intense competition.
This will seriously delay the growth speed of Low-level Hunters active in the Bright Silver Abyss, and Advanced Hunters can’t deal with so many City-breaking Level Demons, which might lead to the subsequent development paralysis of exploration towns around the Bright Silver Abyss.
While Yan Luo was pondering, another younger Hunter spoke up, "Not only that, but the frequency of Catastrophe Level Demons appearing in the Bright Silver Abyss seems to have increased recently. A friend I met online, who operates over at No.2 Bright Silver, said that for the past few days, Catastrophe Level Demons frequently appeared, and even a Sequence Two Hunter moved to support Bright Silver Abyss has nearly become a permanent resident there."
No.2 Bright Silver is located in the southern region, formerly part of the South Asian Subcontinent and Africa.
The Bright Silver Abyss has five entrances, one of which is on the sea surface of the Arctic Ocean, only equipped with an observation point; the other four are located in the east, south, west, and central regions.
If Yan Luo intends to hunt in the Bright Silver Abyss, the nearest exploration town is Bright Silver No. 3, located approximately eight hundred kilometers north in a straight line from No.2 Crimson.
If he doesn’t use a vehicle and flies directly, it wouldn’t take much time.
"Is there any other information?" Yan Luo asked.
The two Hunters shook their heads.
After all, they are not operating in the Bright Silver Abyss, only having channels to know the news from there.
Besides the information they shared with Yan Luo, other news regarding the Bright Silver Abyss can be found online.
After all, Hunters also use the internet and usually communicate online with Hunters from other exploration towns.
"Thanks, I’ll treat today; you two can drink as much as you like," Yan Luo said, standing up and leaving.
The two Hunters beamed with joy, instantly calling over their friends for food and drinks.
After all, they know Yan Luo is very wealthy and always keeps his promises, no matter how much they eat and drink, he would pay for it.
Yan Luo walked towards the elevator, and someone asked, "Leaving already? Not staying for a drink?"
Yan Luo shook his head, "You know I don’t drink."
Except for special occasions, Yan Luo never drinks.
Getting in the elevator, Yan Luo sent a message to Wu Zechuan, informing him about his imminent departure to the Bright Silver Abyss.
Afterward, Yan Luo contacted people he knew, like Wang Lingyu and Sasa, informing them as well.
"What about over at Alfheim?" Sasa asked.
Currently, Yan Luo holds the jade pendant, and to go to Alfheim, one must use the jade pendant.
But if he leaves the jade pendant at No.2 Crimson, Sasa worries they won’t be able to keep it safe.
"Ms. Bilukova will return," Yan Luo replied.
Now Yulia has left No.2 Crimson to handle matters related to the Elves in Mayin City.
However, she had told Yan Luo she’d return to No.2 Crimson because the path leading beyond Sequence One requires inspiration from the grand library of the Alfheim Academy.
Yulia is not content with Sequence One; she wants to become an existence beyond Sequence.
Now that she has returned to youth, who knows how long her lifespan might be.
With her health and youth restored, Yulia now has the potential to become an entity beyond Sequence. How could she ever linger at Sequence One?
Now that she knows there is an existence beyond Sequence One, she understandably refuses to remain at Sequence One forever.
Yulia will return in a few days, and Yan Luo will wait until then to hand over the jade pendant to Sasa before heading to the Bright Silver Abyss.
During this time, he can continue working on distributing the Evil God’s Mark. In the past five days spent at home, he already completed the preliminary selection of this batch of candidates; the subsequent stage is conducting interviews.
Once the distribution of the Evil God’s Mark is complete, Yulia will return to No.2 Crimson, right about the time Yan Luo can set off.
