Yan Luo didn't carry any food or fresh water because the blood and flesh of the demons in the Forbidden Demon Abyss were his food and water.

Materialization seemed to occur in sync across all abysses, even in a newly emerged abyss like the Forbidden Demon Abyss on Blue Star, where demons began to materialize. After consuming their blood and flesh, Yan Luo could feel himself extracting nutrients, simply termed 'a feeling of fullness.'

No matter their form, the blood and flesh of the abyss's demons were difficult to eat.

However, Yan Luo had long been used to this situation, and his sense of taste was starting to dull.

Sitting on his motorcycle to rest, Yan Luo gazed at the endless wasteland before him, realizing that solitary Hunters had difficulty making any headway here.

Hunters always needed to rest, after all, besides Yan Luo, other Hunters were Engravers, and when their engravings weren't activated, they were just ordinary people without any extraordinary power.

The Hunters needed to ensure sufficient sleep each day to maintain their energy the next day, even powerful people like Wu Zechuan, who was of the Second Rank, were no exception.

The Forbidden Demon Abyss had no places to hide unless one dug a hole in the ground, but even that wasn't safe because there were demons in this abyss that could move through the earth. If a Hunter encountered such demons while hiding in a burrow, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Yan Luo was currently five hundred kilometers in a straight line from Fort Number One, the furthest into the Forbidden Demon Abyss among all the Hunters.

The maps drawn by other Hunters extended only up to three hundred eighty-seven kilometers, and the areas beyond that remained unexplored.

Having reached this location, Yan Luo released drones to gather environmental data from the surroundings.

Hunters certainly couldn't just rely on their recorded images to draw abyss maps; drones were also one of the important tools for map-making.

After running such a long distance and periodically fighting demons along the way, Yan Luo rested while waiting for the drones to finish collecting data.

Unlike other Hunter teams that released drones throughout the expedition, Yan Luo was different, eager to hurry on his way.

With the current pace of the Hunters' actions, just drawing the map might take a month, and thereafter searching for the Forbidden Demon Abyss Master and completely eliminating that abyss could be an indeterminate waiting game.

The Master of the Abyss must be the most powerful demon within an abyss, cunning, ruthless, possessing intelligence comparable to humans, unlike all other demons.

If ordinary demons are akin to biological weapons created for combat, then the Master of the Abyss is the 'commander' overseeing these biological weapons.

As the drones landed, Yan Luo collected his stray thoughts and continued on his motorcycle, driving deeper into the abyss.

Different from other Hunters, as long as there was sufficient magic power in his body, Yan Luo could remain awake indefinitely, going ten days or half a month without sleep was no issue. By managing his rest properly, his active hours each day exceeded those of ordinary Hunters by several hours.

For one or two days it's fine, but over a longer period, Yan Luo could explore much more of the abyss's terrain than other Hunters.

At a location seven hundred thirty-four kilometers from Fort Number One in a straight line, Yan Luo encountered a City-breaking Level demon.

As a Saint, Yan Luo's aura could attract City-breaking Level demons, so encountering one wasn't surprising.

The issue was that the City-breaking Level demon he encountered seemed a bit peculiar.

It was a Bone Armor Giant, curled up and sitting alone on the wasteland.

Yan Luo had already placed his hand on the handle of his thermo-axe, but he had yet to see the demon take any action, leaving him puzzled.

Thinking it over, Yan Luo used his fingernail to tear open his skin, letting his blood flow out.

The scent of the Saint's Blood drifted into the air, and upon catching the scent, the Bone Armor Giant finally reacted.

It lifted its head to look in Yan Luo's direction, eyes suddenly filled with a struggle, then it went into a frenzy, roaring angrily at Yan Luo before turning and running off.

Yan Luo: ???

Yan Luo was stunned as he watched the Bone Armor Giant's retreating back.

It was his first time encountering a demon that would run away after seeing a human.

What's more, he had revealed his Saint's Blood, logically, that City-breaking Level demon should have gone berserk and charged at him in battle.

But Yan Luo hadn't expected the Bone Armor Giant to turn and flee!

As previously mentioned, demons are like biological weapons; their purpose is to kill humans, with no other desires.

So, the first reaction of any demon discovering a Hunter in the abyss is always to directly attack the Hunter for battle.

Moreover, demons never run away.

No matter how much the demon's movements resemble fleeing, they're ultimately just circling, trying to find weaknesses and openings in the Hunter.

There had never been a case of demons running away upon seeing humans; this scene Yan Luo was witnessing was novel and astonishing to him. Any other person aware of this would surely find it even more shocking.

"Wait!"

Running away is a behavior only intelligent creatures would exhibit, and demons, designed as biological weapons, weren't equipped with the function of fleeing from the beginning.

In that case, could the demon Yan Luo encountered actually be the Master of the Forbidden Demon Abyss?

Thinking this, Yan Luo immediately drove the motorcycle in pursuit.

After about five minutes of chase, Yan Luo finally spotted the Bone Armor Giant's back.

The Bone Armor Giant, with its long legs and stride, could cover great distances with each step, running just as fast as Yan Luo.

For this reason, Yan Luo needed quite some time to catch up on his motorcycle.

Yan Luo noticed the Bone Armor Giant frequently turned back to glance at him, further heightening his suspicion that this City-breaking Level demon was the Master of the Forbidden Demon Abyss.

The blood vessels in the Bone Armor Giant's eyes grew more prominent, gradually taking over its entire eyeball.

At this point, the Bone Armor Giant abruptly halted, turning to Yan Luo with a grief-stricken roar.

It seemed to be questioning Yan Luo with its roar: why do you keep chasing me when I've already fled?

Yan Luo could feel that this demon didn't want to fight him.

But was it up to the demon's preferences?

Yan Luo drew a thermo-axe from his weapon case, and the high temperature distorting the air instantly emanated from the axe blade.

He leapt off the motorcycle, flying toward the Bone Armor Giant.

The Bone Armor Giant roared fiercely once more, suddenly thrusting a punch.

Its punch broke the sound barrier, the air propelled by its fist forming shockwaves surging toward Yan Luo.

While still airborne, Yan Luo swung his thermo-axe, and the invisible shockwave was cleaved apart by the axe.

The Bone Armor Giant quickly threw a second punch, attempting to strike Yan Luo while he was still in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, Yan Luo's form plummeted, crashing into the ground and creating a crater upon impact.

Using a technique to disperse his falling impact across the ground beneath him, Yan Luo's feet didn't sink into the soil. Instead, a crater appeared.

Seeing this, the Bone Armor Giant swiftly kicked up, sending the dust and dirt skyward toward Yan Luo.

As the flying debris approached, Yan Luo leaned on his toes, gracefully evading the dust cloud.

Despite weighing three hundred kilograms, his movements were exceptionally graceful, floating like an Immortal, effortlessly dodging the dust.

Thud!

The Bone Armor Giant stamped down, channeling its strength from the ground through its body, then raised its arm to crush the earth mightily.

Yan Luo once again lightly tipped his toes, hovering three centimeters above the ground, retreating as if skimming above the earth.

Its solid fist descended in front of him, the impact radiating outwards in all directions, causing the earth to suddenly rise in three concentric rings.

The soil beneath Yan Luo surged into the air, launching his body skyward.

The Bone Armor Giant then tightened its abdominal muscles, thrusting another fist toward Yan Luo, the punch once again breaking the sound barrier.

Seeing a colossal fist rapidly enlarging in his vision, Yan Luo's muscles tensed throughout his body, and in the next moment, he exploded with power from beneath his feet, propelling his form upward several meters using the rock-like soil beneath him.

The Bone Armor Giant's fist and arm, like a fast-moving train, crashed beneath Yan Luo, unable to retract its arm in time, and Yan Luo landed upon it.

Focusing on the Bone Armor Giant's bloodshot eyes, Yan Luo raised his axe, charging in!
