An armored vehicle ambled over, and upon noticing the figure sitting on the open ground ahead, the driver poked his head out of the window and waved excitedly.
"Yan Luo, I’m here!"
Sitting cross-legged and ditating, Yan Luo opened his eyes and turned to see a familiar face.
"Ke Duo, it’s you."
Ke Duo, originally nad Ke Duoduo, opened the car door, laughed, and jumped out, "Sister Xin Yue told us you have been living in the abyss recently, we could hardly believe it."
How could anyone live in the abyss in this world?
The abyss has no food or water resources; to survive, one must rely on external support.
Yet, Yan Luo indeed was living there now.
His minimal magic compatibility made him unaffected by the abyss’s magic environnt. As long as there is enough food and fresh water, he could live there indefinitely.
Aside from food, the only problem Yan Luo faced was that the materialization of the abyss had not reached a usable level, making it impossible for him to clean himself in the abyss.
Li Xinyue, being particularly thoughtful, realized this and had Ke Duo co to pick up Yan Luo’s hunts, also installing a portable shower in the armored vehicle for Yan Luo’s use.
Knowing Li Xinyue had prepared these things for him, Yan Luo couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although Yan Luo could bathe in the blood of demons before they completely die, he always had a sense of disgust. Even though their blood disappears after death, leaving nothing on him, he still felt uncomfortable.
Before Ke Duo arrived, Yan Luo had planned to visit the Elf World to clean up, fortunately, Ke Duo brought a portable shower.
Handing his space box to Ke Duo for her to transfer the hunts, Yan Luo entered the shower to clean himself.
Ke Duo also brought a space box; otherwise, transferring all the hunts wouldn’t be possible.
During the transfer, Ke Duo couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishnt.
"Wow! So many hunts, Yan Luo, how many demons did you kill?"
"These hunts could be worth over two million together, right?"
"Oh my god, what’s this? Material from a City-breaking Level Demon? Yan Luo, can you hunt City-breaking Level Demons now?"
Ke Duo started out enthusiastic, but later was utterly shocked by Yan Luo.
Because she saw material from a City-breaking Level Demon within the hunts.
Not long ago, Yan Luo was still running around being chased by these City-breaking Level Demons, yet now he had the strength to hunt them. How could this not shock Ke Duo?
Yan Luo quickly finished his shower, stepping out within three minutes, with his shirt dangling around his neck instead of wearing it.
Upon hearing Ke Duo’s inquiry, Yan Luo nodded, "Yes, I can hunt City-breaking Level Demons now. But for those ranked higher on the danger list, I probably still don’t have the capability to defeat them."
Ke Duo was utterly stunned.
What did he an by "still don’t have"? Was he implying that in the future he could beco strong enough to hunt those top-ranking demons on the danger list?
Thinking deeper, she realized it wasn’t an impossible feat.
Because in less than a year since Yan Luo beca a Hunter, he evolved from an ordinary person to soone capable of hunting City-breaking Level Demons.
Even though while still an ordinary person, he managed to perish with a deadly demon, demonstrating combat skills more ferocious than many Hunters. But now, he’s capable of hunting City-breaking Level Demons, and from his appearance, he didn’t seem injured.
More importantly, Yan Luo was not wearing an exoskeleton!
"... That’s amazing!"
Ke Duo couldn’t help but utter in admiration.
Yan Luo’s growth speed on this enhancent route was much faster than an Engraver’s; many Engravers spend their entire lives stuck at Sequence 4 level, and Ke Duo might end there too, yet Yan Luo reached the level of hunting City-breaking Level Demons in just a year.
Moreover, judging from Yan Luo’s situation, this enhancent route seed to have no side effects, except for the need to bathe in demon blood.
But for a Hunter, this wasn’t hard to accept.
Many tis, they would get splattered with blood while fighting demons; bathing in the blood isn’t a big deal, right?
"Oh, also, there’s this!"
Ke Duo suddenly rembered sothing, climbed to the front passenger seat, opened the glove compartnt, and handed a box to Yan Luo.
Yan Luo opened the box to find pre-packaged growth enhancent gemstone powder.
"Sister Xin Yue asked to bring this to you."
Ke Duo tiptoed to peek inside and asked, "What is this?"
"Growth enhancent gemstone powder," Yan Luo casually replied, taking out a vial of powder from the box and pouring it into his mouth.
"Consuming this speeds up my growth rate."
There’s a delay between consuming the growth gemstone powder and its effect, enough ti for Yan Luo to transfer all the hunts to the space box brought by Ke Duo.
After transferring the hunts, Yan Luo waved goodbye to Ke Duo.
On her way back, Ke Duo finally realized what the ’growth gemstone’ was.
The hunters of Crimson No.2 had spent quite so ti discussing and speculating about the gemstone extracted from a Catastrophe Level Demon’s chest, trying to figure out its purpose.
Upon discovering that the gemstone could only amplify superpowers and not enhance Engraving abilities, many were disappointed.
Unexpectedly, the powder scraped from the gemstone could accelerate Yan Luo’s growth?
Wasn’t Yan Luo’s rapid progression to hunting City-breaking Level Demons related to that gemstone powder?
His ability to consu the powder — did it an others could as well?
With a head full of wild thoughts, Ke Duo left the abyss.
anwhile, Yan Luo wandered aimlessly in the Dark Forest with his space box.
The abyss was dreadfully boring; besides hunting demons, there was hardly anything else to do.
A few days ago, Yan Luo was tired of hunting demons and planned to take a day off before continuing.
However, exercising was still necessary; if he found a suitable deadly-level demon, Yan Luo would engage in battle to further push his growth.
By the ti Yan Luo could leave the abyss, he would have grown to a level that would leave everyone astounded.
......
"Really... able to hunt City-breaking Level Demons now?"
Li Xinyue felt sowhat at a loss after hearing Ke Duo’s recount.
Previously, when she obtained Yan Luo’s blood, he had ntioned that his growth was slow and needed her as his Protector.
But now, Yan Luo’s growth rate seems evidently faster than hers.
Yan Luo could hunt City-breaking Level Demons, while she had only completed her third Engraving.
When Ke Duo ntioned Yan Luo’s ability to consu growth gemstone powder to accelerate his growth, Li Xinyue thought of Sasa.
That box of items was entrusted to her by Sasa, ant for Yan Luo.
Originally, it was sothing to speed up Yan Luo’s growth...
Li Xinyue hesitated montarily and then sent a ssage to Sasa, inquiring if there was a way to also accelerate her own growth.
Unfortunately, Sasa’s response was that she had already ingested Yan Luo’s blood and bone marrow; her growth had hit its peak, and further enhancents were impossible.
Currently, the pri product in their possession was Yan Luo’s blood and bone marrow, and even now, Sasa hadn’t been able to derive much from them.
[By the way, Li Xinyue, can you control the Bao Han Company?]
Unexpectedly asked by Sasa, Li Xinyue was a bit puzzled but still replied, "I can’t. I currently don’t hold any position, rely an ordinary Hunter."
Upon hearing this, Sasa changed her approach: [Then can you get the Bao Han Company to collaborate with us?]
"Us?" Li Xinyue raised an eyebrow, "Who is ’us’?"
[Not ’us’, but ’we’!]
Sasa chuckled and said: [You are one of us too. We are the alliance resisting the Abyssal Believers, all connected through Yan Luo’s blood! So, can you persuade your grandfather to join our alliance? If you can, I’ll tell you a secret, and we can even bring the Bao Han Company in on so profits.]
[As for how to earn it... it relates to that secret.]
