Abyss Sequence-Chapter 446 - 21: Bright Silver No. 3

The journey to Bright Silver Abyss, which should have taken two hours, dragged on for a day and a half.

Yan Luo set off from No.2 Crimson and arrived at Bright Silver No. 3 by noon the next day.

Upon his arrival at Bright Silver No. 3, he caused a huge commotion.

Not only did the Hunters of Bright Silver No. 3 gather, but even the local residents assembled in front of the Hunter’s Guild, eager to catch a glimpse of the real Yan Luo.

The staff member behind the service desk was left dumbfounded after hearing Yan Luo’s words. It took a few seconds for him to react, incredulously asking, "Mr. Yan, could you repeat what it is you want to do?"

"Apply for the Bright Silver Abyss strategy battle," Yan Luo reiterated, "No need for a team; I can manage alone."

The staff member was momentarily stunned, then took a sharp intake of breath and immediately reported the matter.

Soon after, the president of the Bright Silver No. 3 Hunter’s Guild came down via the elevator, quickly moving towards the service desk, squeezing past the whispering hunters, and approached Yan Luo.

"Hello Yan Luo, I’m Huang Changfei, president of the Bright Silver No. 3 Hunter’s Guild."

The middle-aged man, donned in a suit with his hair slicked back, extended his hand to Yan Luo.

Yan Luo reached out and shook hands with Huang Changfei, "Hello, I’m Yan Luo."

Huang Changfei had broad, calloused palms and a robust build, suggesting he was either a former soldier or a hunter.

"I’m a Sequence Three hunter myself and had the fortune to participate in a perimeter battle of an Abyss strategy battle a decade ago," Huang Changfei introduced himself. "More terrifying than the demon tide, demons surged towards us. The hunters who stood with me suffered heavy casualties. We barely held out for several days before the strategy battle concluded. Nearly a year ago, Bright Silver No. 3 experienced a similar battle and hasn’t fully recovered to this day. If we were to engage in another strategy battle, I fear we couldn’t last."

Saying so much, Huang Changfei was essentially reminding Yan Luo that Bright Silver No. 3 couldn’t support another Abyss strategy battle.

Unlike the newly descended Forbidden Demon Abyss, Bright Silver Abyss had matured over many years, with most demons inside now of high level. The previous strategy battle had already depleted much of their manpower and strength. Another strategy battle would see the overflowed demons utterly destroy Bright Silver No. 3.

Not only Bright Silver No. 3, but other exploration towns would experience similar situations.

A single failed Abyss strategy battle requires years of recuperation for an exploration town. Only a year has passed, and the exploration towns near the entrance of Bright Silver Abyss cannot withstand the overflow effects of another strategy battle.

"Indeed, it’s challenging for Bright Silver No. 3’s hunters to support this alone," Yan Luo nodded, acknowledging Huang Changfei’s statement, then asked, "But what if we include hunters from other exploration towns?"

Huang Changfei’s brow slightly furrowed, "You mean..."

Yan Luo said, "With my influence, I can summon many hunters."

As a Saint, Yan Luo held significant sway in the hunting community. If need be, he could even use Saint’s Blood as a reward to draw hunters to Bright Silver Abyss.

The strategy battle for Forbidden Demon Abyss had concluded some time ago, and the effects of Saint’s Blood on hunters were becoming apparent; many regretted not going to support Forbidden Demon Abyss earlier.

Upon hearing Yan Luo’s words, Huang Changfei fell into thought.

Bright Silver Abyss was entering its next stage, with the number of city-breaking level demons rapidly increasing, and the frequency of catastrophe level demons was also rising.

Bright Silver Abyss was gradually becoming unsuitable for hunter activity. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Each Sequence Two hunter had a place to oversee and couldn’t frequently come to Bright Silver Abyss for support.

Although there was a Sequence Two hunter in the exploration towns surrounding Bright Silver Abyss, only one existed, unable to promptly handle the catastrophe level demons appearing within the Abyss.

Under these circumstances, dealing with Bright Silver Abyss as quickly as possible was the most suitable course of action.

Exploration towns were not only places for hunters to earn money but also military bases to guard the Abyss.

If they couldn’t promptly deal with the Abyss, allowing the demons inside to escape would be tantamount to dereliction of duty.

Huang Changfei took a deep breath and asked, "How many hunters can you summon?"

"I don’t know, but at least over three thousand," Yan Luo answered.

This answer plunged Huang Changfei into contemplation once again.

Three thousand hunters—no one knew how many were above Sequence Three. If the hunters coming to aid were of insufficient strength to handle the overflow of demons, then even four or five thousand hunters wouldn’t be of much use.

"Only Bright Silver No. 3 receiving support..." Huang Changfei thought for a moment, deciding to reject Yan Luo’s plan.

Suddenly, Yan Luo said, "I can offer Saint’s Blood as a reward, ensuring each exploration town around Bright Silver Abyss receives hunter support—at least a thousand hunters per town. Among them, there should be a significant number from Sequence Three, and perhaps even some from Sequence Two."

Previously, many Sequence Two hunters were on the sidelines, observing what effects Saint’s Blood would have on other Engravers. Only Yan Wujiu had personally gone to Lingquan City to request Saint’s Blood.

Now, as the effects of Saint’s Blood gradually became apparent on hunters, many were envious upon seeing the results on those who obtained it, wishing for their portion of Saint’s Blood.

However, after the Forbidden Demon Abyss strategy battle, Yan Luo only distributed Saint’s Blood to No.2 Crimson; other hunters wanted their share but had no means to acquire it.

If Yan Luo used Saint’s Blood as a reward, surely many hunters would be willing to participate in this Bright Silver Abyss strategy battle.

The surrounding hunters, upon hearing Yan Luo’s words, immediately buzzed with excitement, loudly asking questions.

"Yan Luo, do we also get a share of Saint’s Blood?"

"I want a portion of Saint’s Blood too!"

"President, why not agree? Bright Silver Abyss has always been a problem; whether we’re low-level hunters or advanced hunters, we all feel the pressure."

Even though after eliminating Bright Silver Abyss, the attending hunters might retire or transfer to other exploration towns, the recent changes in Bright Silver Abyss were overwhelming for them; transferring might be better.

Under the persuasion of local hunters, Huang Changfei sighed, looked at Yan Luo, and said, "I’m just the president of the Bright Silver No. 3 Hunter’s Guild. I have no authority to trigger the Abyss strategy battle. I need to meet with the presidents of other exploration towns’ Hunter’s Guilds to discuss. If approved, it also needs to be reported to the headquarters, which will take some time."

Yan Luo nodded, "No problem. I can use this time to prepare more Saint’s Blood so that there’s enough as reward for the hunters after the Abyss strategy battle."

Then, Yan Luo turned to the surrounding hunters and said, "All participants in this Abyss strategy battle will receive a portion of Saint’s Blood."

Hearing this, the surrounding hunters erupted in cheers.

Among the hunters of Bright Silver No. 3, many had participated in the Forbidden Demon Abyss strategy battle. Having received a portion of Saint’s Blood, their strength had recently surged, with some Sequence Four hunters now rapidly approaching Sequence Three.

Bear in mind, only a few months had passed since the Forbidden Demon Abyss strategy battle. Previously, it took years for people to improve their strength.

Many hunters were envious of the effects of Saint’s Blood, especially after Wu Zechuan publicly announced the ’Ancient Cultivation Method’. Many hunters hoped to switch cultivation paths post-retirement. In these circumstances, Saint’s Blood was almost essential.

Without Saint’s Blood, they’d have to find ways themselves to harness magic power to form their internal nerves. With Saint’s Blood, diligent meditation was all they needed. The continuously entering magic power would help mold their nerves into their desired form.

After agreeing with Huang Changfei, Yan Luo left the Hunter’s Guild, inquiring of the hunters which hotel in Bright Silver No. 3 provided the best accommodations before taking a taxi there.

Yan Luo anticipated staying in Bright Silver No. 3 for a long time, knowing the Hunter’s Guild presidents might squabble for quite a while.

However, this was also a good thing for Yan Luo, giving him time to produce more Saint’s Blood.
