CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 97: MASTER OF THE FORBIDDEN DEMON ABYSS

Yan Luo sensed it, the Master of the Abyss is just ahead!

At the same time, the vehicle’s radar finally captured the signal emitted by the marker.

This proved Yan Luo’s intuition was correct. What he sensed indeed was the Master of the Abyss.

And at this moment, the convoy was not far from the large number of demons previously scanned.

Chen Shan triumphantly climbed out of the armored vehicle, stood on the roof, and shouted into the communication channel: "All heavy firepower, get ready! Clear a wave of the demons’ deflection shields before the convoy collides with them!"

The armored vehicle’s rocket pods and heavy machine gun platforms unfolded one after another, pouring all ammunition as ordered by Chen Shan.

If they don’t unload their firepower now, they won’t have another chance.

A wave of bombing and shelling startled the demon horde, cutting down the frontline demons, even severely injuring the city-breaking level demons mixed in.

The rockets’ impact was huge, and the heavy machine guns, controlled by the [Mechanic], were even enchanted with bullets.

Concentrating fire could even kill three city-breaking level demons, instead of just severely injuring them as now.

Neither the raiding team nor the escort team had weak members; the weakest Hunter had at least three engravings.

The leading armored vehicle charged into the demon horde, doors opening wide, even the driver jumped out.

This group of Hunters landed and immediately set up defenses, unleashing gunfire at the surrounding demons.

The abandoned armored vehicle continued forward, knocking many demons aside, but its speed gradually slowed and finally stopped when it hit a fatal level demon.

Immediately, the armored vehicle self-destructed!

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted in the demon horde, clearing out every demon within a ten-meter radius. A nearby fatal-level demon was blinded by flying car debris, screaming chaotically.

Chen Shan laughed heartily, leaping from the roof, his exoskeleton’s thrusters engaging suddenly, transforming him into a meteor crashing into the center of the demon horde.

Upon landing, Chen Shan smashed a punch forward, completely obliterating the fatal level demon standing in front of him. The shockwave created a path through the densely packed demon horde.

In the next moment, two beams of laser flew past Chen Shan, taking out the demons attempting to charge at him.

Hunters of the [Mage] sequence in the rear convoy softened the distant ground through the car doors, causing running demons to sink into the soil and become trapped.

Then, the trampling of the approaching demons quickly killed them.

A Sequence Three [Mage] stepped forward, waved a hand to create a weightless field, causing demon bodies to float upwards. Other [Mages] cooperated by softening the ground, then the Sequence Three [Mage] canceled the weightless field, causing the airborne demons to fall and sink deeper.

Many demons’ body structures were unsuitable for lifting themselves, even city-breaking level demons struggled to pull themselves out from underground.

All the [Mage] needed to do was divide the battlefield, leaving the task of killing demons to other sequence Hunters.

[Overclock Operate!]

Meanwhile, Hunters of the [Mechanic] sequence activated their ultimate skills.

If other Hunters had 70% to 80% compatibility with their exoskeletons, then the [Mechanic] achieved upwards of 100% compatibility.

They injected magic power into their exoskeletons, maintaining an overclock operation without damaging the machine body itself.

At this moment, [Mechanic] and their exoskeletons became one, reaching true ’man-armor unity,’ with explosive growth in exoskeleton output power and even noticeable enhancement in defensive capabilities.

For this reason, [Mechanic] were almost universal experts, capable of shielding teammates, engaging in attacks, using various tools for support, and operating drones as extensions of personal will, smooth as silk.

As long as the exoskeleton’s performance was outstanding, even a Sequence Four [Mechanic] had the potential to defeat city-breaking level demons.

But alas, wealthy individuals generally did not become Hunters, so most [Mechanics] could only use same-level or even slightly inferior exoskeletons.

The armored vehicles carried Hunters into the demon horde, tearing open a path in the overwhelming demon tide for the armored vehicle carrying Yan Luo.

"Yan Luo, go!"

"Don’t betray our sacrifice!"

"Screw you, I’m not sacrificing!"

"Damn it, give it all you’ve got!"

Most armored vehicles stopped, releasing the Hunters inside. They forcefully established two walls in the demon horde, opening a path for Yan Luo’s armored vehicle.

The Hunters beside Yan Luo gripped their weapons tightly, expressions becoming solemn, feeling the heavy weight of responsibility pressing on their hearts.

Soon, the speeding armored vehicle broke through the demon horde, heading in the direction sensed by Yan Luo.

Demons continued to run out from the rear horde, attempting to chase down Yan Luo, but they were spotted by sharp-eyed Hunters who killed or intercepted them.

According to Chen Shan’s original strategy, they should fight while retreating, not like this, leaving all the escort Hunters behind.

But Chen Shan’s original assumption was that they would chase the Master of the Abyss, unaware the Master would send itself their way.

Now that the Master of the Abyss lacked the ability to regroup a demon horde, Chen Shan chose to leave all escort Hunters behind, annihilate this group of demons, then find a way to support Yan Luo’s team.

Otherwise, per the original plan as the convoy left, the remaining Hunters would find opportunities to withdraw, return to the Abyss defense line, either resting or joining the battle against the demon tide.

After being attacked, the Master of the Abyss would inevitably gather demons near the Abyss Entrance, launching assaults, a situation present in all Abyss strategy battles, likely unchanged this time.

A lone armored vehicle traversed the wasteland, Hunters gazed at the desolate landscape outside the windows, lost in thought.

Perhaps they’re wondering how the Forbidden Demon Abyss prototype planet became like this!

"It’s here!"

Yan Luo abruptly looked up, and the driver immediately utilized the rooftop camera, projecting the aerial imagery onto everyone’s personal devices.

The leaden sky turned more oppressive, clouds appeared to surge, but closer inspection revealed they weren’t clouds, but tides of flying demons.

Swarms of flying demons seemed like an immense legion, clustered around a massive four-winged peng bird.

Other flying demons were covered in bone plates, and so was the giant peng bird. However, it looked particularly unique, with tendrils growing between bone plate seams.

Upon zooming the camera lens, after seeing the details on the Master of the Abyss, other than Yan Luo, the Hunters frowned in disgust.

Yan Luo felt nothing about it.

The mass of demons descended from the sky, diving down, drawing closer to the armored vehicle.

But at that moment, the Hunter sitting beside Yan Luo turned pale.

"My engraving..."

Other Hunters chimed in: "You too?"

"Is everyone’s engravings unable to activate?"

"What do we do?"

All Hunters besides Yan Luo felt their magic power stagnate, unable to activate the engravings.

Late to realize, Yan Luo understood their armored vehicle was engulfed by the Master of the Abyss’s superpower.

Thinking it over, Yan Luo suddenly opened the adjacent car door and jumped out.

As Yan Luo leapt from the armored vehicle, he activated a strong magnetic flying board.

The board detached from his back, falling downward, activating its hover components before hitting the ground, releasing a strong magnetic field to support Yan Luo.

The next second, Yan Luo piloted the strong magnetic flying board, soaring skywards like a supernatural flight.

"Yan Luo!!!"

Other Hunters shouted in surprise.

"Cover me against other demons!" Yan Luo calmly stated.

The four-winged peng bird, the Master of the Abyss, roared upon seeing Yan Luo charge towards it, immediately flapping its wings to meet Yan Luo.

Hearing Yan Luo’s voice, other Hunters understood his intentions.

Given Yan Luo’s strength, he couldn’t handle the Master of the Abyss and so many demons simultaneously; thus, he needed their assistance!

The others only heard the Master of the Abyss’s roar, but Yan Luo understood what it represented—

[Thief, give it back to me!]
