"You can obtain the Saint’s Blood just by becoming a Hunter?"
"But isn’t that too dangerous?"
"Going to the Abyss to fight Demons is too difficult. I can’t do it, I can’t..."
The main sources of Hunters are local residents of exploration towns, graduates of Abyss-related majors, and adventurers looking to earn big money. People who have grown up in the city are always in a state of safety and avoid anything that might cause them injury.
Even though at Yan Luo’s press conference, they learned that as long as they obtained the Saint’s Blood, even if they didn’t fight Demons, their Engravings could grow.
But to receive the Saint’s Blood, one must join the ranks of Hunters and enter the Abyss to fight Demons.
Many people only yearn for extraordinary power and do not want to take risks.
If becoming a Hunter is the only way to get the Saint’s Blood, it goes against their desires.
Thus, even though the ’New Generation Hunter Recruitnt Announcent’ issued by the Lingquan City Governnt states that anyone willing to beco a Hunter can receive guidance from Advanced Hunters and quickly beco a Hunter,
the city governnt will grant subsidies to anyone who becos a Hunter.
Despite this, not many people want to beco Hunters.
Although Hunters earn a lot, it’s too dangerous, almost like trading life for money. Unless one is a ’fool,’ who would take such a job?
No one in the city considers themselves a ’fool.’
After the announcent was released, only a few students from Abyss-related majors signed up because their academic performance was not that great, and they faced unemploynt upon graduation. If they didn’t beco Hunters, they would have to switch to other industries for work.
The problem is that related industries definitely recruit graduates from corresponding majors. Students like them who switch fields can only do hard and tiring jobs with low wages.
In that case, they might as well take a gamble!
Though training new Hunters didn’t go smoothly, new Hunters were not the main force. What was more important were the other Hunters from exploration towns.
The Lingquan City Governnt, through the United Governnt’s channels, extended invitations to Hunters from exploration towns around the world. They would reimburse travel expenses and sincerely invite Hunters to Lingquan City for a grand event.
With travel expenses reimbursed and the chance to get the Saint’s Blood, even though they had heard that materials produced by the Forbidden Demon Abyss were quite cheap, many Hunters were willing to go.
Because Lingquan City stated that the invitation was only valid for three months—starting from when Hunters arrived at the Forbidden Demon Abyss and began the Abyssal hunt, only three months were needed. Whether or not they could eliminate the Forbidden Demon Abyss within those three months, all the Hunters who ca could return, and Lingquan City would also reimburse return travel expenses.
Such generous conditions would entice any Hunter.
Although they had to spend three months in the Forbidden Demon Abyss, in other words, spending three months to receive a piece of Saint’s Blood—does that seem excessive?
Not at all. It’s even quite a bargain!
Therefore, many Hunters started from their exploration towns, traversing through various Abysses, converging toward Lingquan City.
In just the seventh day after the announcent, more than a thousand Hunters had arrived at the Forbidden Demon Abyss.
After signing the agreent, each received a piece of Saint’s Blood.
To reassure the Hunters, after they drank the Saint’s Blood, the dical staff stationed at the Forbidden Demon Abyss took them for check-ups so they could see the magic power detection results for themselves.
Without exception, the results were very pleasing.
Even though they had to stay in the Forbidden Demon Abyss for three months and could only leave the Abyss once every ten days, with outside ti not exceeding one day, getting the Saint’s Blood made the trip worthwhile.
With the help of foreign Hunters and armies from other cities, humanity’s influence began to extend beyond fortresses.
They quickly established supply stations in the wilderness, with special vehicles transporting materials daily. Additionally, there was a network connection between the supply stations and fortresses, allowing real-ti communication.
The warti system of the United Governnt was activated again, like a massive factory, starting to produce a large amount of materials and continuously transporting equipnt to the Forbidden Demon Abyss.
This was unexpected for the Hunters who ca to support the Forbidden Demon Abyss, and they even got a share of the newly produced equipnt, although they had to purchase it.
Even for purchased equipnt, the price was nearly thirty percent lower than usual.
Being in the Forbidden Demon Abyss, the Hunters could upgrade from rifles to cannons, significantly updating their gear. The manufacturers responsible for producing this equipnt not only avoided losses but also made significant profits.
But all these matters had nothing to do with Yan Luo.
He switched to a different vehicle, not riding a motorcycle anymore but changing to a hovercar.
To cross the seawater-less ’ocean,’ relying on a motorcycle wouldn’t do; only flying machines could assist.
Yan Luo didn’t know how to pilot a fighter, and fighters weren’t particularly safe. A hovercar was a better option.
After switching to a hovercar, Yan Luo could finally maintain a driving speed of over 300 kiloters per hour, without worrying about being slowed down by Demon interference.
The road that used to take a day to navigate was now reduced to ten hours.
Setting off from the fortress, in just ten hours, Yan Luo reached the coastline he had once seen.
Without any hesitation, Yan Luo drove the hovercar skimming the ground forward.
If there were water here, Yan Luo would now be driving into the sea, but the Forbidden Demon Abyss was full of desolate land, without even the slightest trace of water except for the sky.
The clouds in the sky always looked gloomy, yet it never rained a drop.
——At least since humans entered the Forbidden Demon Abyss, there had been no rain.
When waking up in the morning, not a drop of dew was visible.
The air contained a certain amount of moisture, but not enough, so Hunters had to rehydrate every hour during Abyss activities, or their skin would crack.
Yan Luo didn’t need to, as his body retained water well, and if thirsty, he could easily find a Demon to quench his thirst with its blood.
The hovercar flew over the seabed that lacked seawater. Yan Luo looked around, wanting to see if there were any Demons here.
Just as the hovercar flew over a sandy area, the sand below suddenly trembled, then erupted upward, bursting open.
A Demon resembling a Bobbit worm broke through the sand, opening its ferociously hideous mouthparts towards the hovercar.
The Demon extended its long body, chasing the hovercar.
Upon seeing this Demon, Yan Luo felt no fear, only a bit of disgust.
He imdiately maneuvered the hovercar to turn, simultaneously deploying drones to capture the Demon’s movents and appearance from various angles. Then he picked up a rocket launcher from the passenger seat, mounted it on the car window, and drove toward the insect-like Demon.
As the car was about to collide with the Demon’s mouthparts, Yan Luo suddenly drifted the hovercar around, at the sa ti pulling the rocket launcher’s trigger, sending a bomb flying through the deflected shield into the Demon’s mouth.
The Demon instinctively swallowed and the explosion occurred inside its body, blowing it into two halves.
This type of Demon’s life force seed quite tenacious, as both the front and back halves continued to wriggle vigorously.
Yan Luo stopped the car and continued to film the Demon.
Considering the vast area of the Forbidden Demon Abyss, to reach other lands, one must cross the continental shelf and ocean basins. There should be quite a few of these Demons in the basins. Since Yan Luo encountered one, it was necessary to collect their data to provide intelligence support for future explorers.
This is what every pioneer of the Abyss should do, and it’s not sothing done for free. The Hunter’s Guild’s Abyssal Exploration Departnt would give explorers corresponding rewards.
Typically, discovering a new type of Demon would reward ten thousand, and if the recorded information is complete, an additional five thousand would be awarded.
Even a mosquito’s at is still at, and Yan Luo wouldn’t refuse such official channel resources.
Yan Luo silently waited for more than ten minutes until the insect-like Demon, blown into two halves, finally perished and its body stopped moving.
However, its body didn’t vanish as expected. A few minutes later, the Demon’s body disappeared.
This discovery made Yan Luo feel sowhat impressed. A centipede cut in two still struggled; he hadn’t expected it to live that long after being blown apart.
After the insect-like Demon’s body dissipated, a piece of flesh dropped down. Yan Luo stopped the car, picked it up, placed it in a sealed bag, and labeled the bag. By scanning the label with a personal terminal, one could receive the video and text data Yan Luo uploaded.
Having done this, Yan Luo continued driving forward.
