The motorcycle raced beneath the continuous stretch of tree canopies, while Yan Luo kept the car radio on, broadcasting danger warnings.
The horrifying beast in the sky was still in pursuit, and its maximum flying speed was much faster than the motorcycle.
For some reason, the Wind God Eagle seemed intent on killing Yan Luo, relentlessly chasing him.
Besides warning other Hunters, Yan Luo was more eager to find a Sequence Three Hunter.
Only Hunters above Sequence Three had a chance at dealing with the Wind God Eagle, because once it reached the City-breaking Level, the demon's deflection shield would become extremely strong, able to recover continuously during battle, making it impregnable even after half an hour of pounding by several onboard machine guns.
Even on Blue Star, with the capability to use missiles, it would require at least five 500-kilogram bombs to break the demon's deflection shield.
However, after the shield is broken, one still has to face the demon's already incredibly tough body.
In comparison, deploying a Sequence Three Hunter was more cost-effective.
Yan Luo circled through the dense forest with the Wind God Eagle on his tail, constantly evading attacks from above and persistently broadcasting, but half an hour had passed without any response from a Hunter capable of killing the Wind God Eagle.
This made his heart sink, realizing it was unlikely to encounter a Sequence Three Hunter in the Dark Forest.
So, Yan Luo immediately turned his motorcycle toward the Bone-Eroding Plains.
He had been riding for a very long time without any rest, and circling with the City-breaking Level Wind God Eagle required a lot of effort. A single slip could cost him his life.
Currently, the Magic Power stored in his body was what's keeping him energetic, allowing him to continuously evade the Wind God Eagle's attacks.
But continuing like this wasn't a viable solution. Sooner or later, Yan Luo would become exhausted or make a mistake.
He wasn't a machine; errors were bound to happen, and he had no room for mistakes now.
The Bone-Eroding Plains had many Hunters in action, increasing the chance of encountering a Sequence Three Hunter as Yan Luo approached it.
The Bone-Eroding Plains didn't have as many trees to cover Yan Luo, which was a risky move.
But Yan Luo was confident in his intelligence and knowledge.
He understood the behavior pattern of the Wind God Eagle, familiar with its attack maneuvers, could predict when it would attack, and knew which actions were feints.
Thus, this was merely a 'risky' move, not a death sentence!
Buzz!
The motorcycle's front wheel crushed a tree root as it charged out of the forest into the seemingly boundless expanse.
Looking around, the flat yet slightly rolling grassy land stretched endlessly toward the horizon, marked by small groves scattered across the vast plains, and beyond them, majestic mountains rose like a crouching giant dragon.
Yan Luo suddenly turned the motorcycle head, speeding to the left, right as a terrifying storm descended from above, leaving a deep crater in the ground.
Immediately afterward, Yan Luo turned off the driving assistance and manually zigzagged the motorcycle. One after another, tornadoes were shot out by the Wind God Eagle, bombarding the paths Yan Luo was supposed to take.
After several failed long-distance attacks, the Wind God Eagle became frustrated, flapping its wings to push its massive body toward the ground.
It spread its claws, aiming at Yan Luo's back.
The lower the Wind God Eagle descended, the faster it got. Just as it was about to grab him, Yan Luo suddenly activated the exoskeleton leg thrusters, igniting a fierce blaze from beneath, boosting the motorcycle's speed a bit.
These minute differences caused the Wind God Eagle to crash into the ground, its claws burying into the soil, missing Yan Luo.
With its talons stuck in the dirt, the Wind God Eagle beat its wings fiercely, pulling itself free and soaring into the sky once more.
It let out another cry, startling the surrounding flying demons to scatter in all directions.
Yan Luo was drenched in sweat, his breath becoming rapid.
The car radio continued to broadcast, and a group of Hunters in the distance, initially moving toward Yan Luo, turned pale upon hearing the broadcast and immediately fled.
While fleeing, Yan Luo calculated in his mind.
The Bone-Eroding Plain was the area where Hunters most frequently operated in the Crimson Abyss, with a total of around seventeen thousand Hunters across the three exploration outposts connected to the Crimson Abyss. Under normal circumstances, nearly half would be active within the Abyss, which is over eight thousand people.
Excluding low-level Hunters and only counting those above Sequence Three, there were roughly over two hundred.
Most Sequence Three or above Hunters hunted in the Crescent Mountain Range, but surveys indicated there were over forty Sequence Three Hunters who favored the Bone-Eroding Plains.
Though meeting a Sequence Three Hunter in such a vast land like the Bone-Eroding Plains was still challenging, the odds were much higher than in the Dark Forest.
The motorcycle sped along, and after ten minutes, Yan Luo encountered a forest. After some thought, he decided to go around it rather than enter.
The forests in the Bone-Eroding Plains differed from the Dark Forest; the trees were spaced such that a motorcycle couldn't maneuver freely. While going into them provided some cover, it also likely limited the motorcycle's speed.
If the forest harbored a deadly-level demon, Yan Luo would have to evade both the Wind God Eagle's attacks and deal with that demon.
If he were unlucky enough to encounter paired-up demons, he might as well give up resistance.
Yan Luo skirted around the forest, dodging the successive wind bullets from above, keeping the motorcycle at peak speed.
Even so, he couldn't shake off the Wind God Eagle.
The Wind God Eagle could manipulate airflow to accelerate itself, and its flying speed was already fast, making it nearly impossible to shake it off.
Unless the Wind God Eagle grew tired, it was difficult for Yan Luo to escape its clutches.
Yan Luo didn't know why the Wind God Eagle was so relentless, but he didn't consider it a coincidence.
There must be something on him attracting the Wind God Eagle, which caused its persistence.
After a brief contemplation, Yan Luo came up with a possible answer.
"Blood?"
Yan Luo wasn't carrying any valuables, and he was certain none of his gear had been tampered with before entering the Abyss, carrying nothing that would attract demons.
If something like that existed, why hadn't it attracted more low-level demons when he was in the Dark Forest?
After eliminating other possibilities, even the most absurd answer seemed the truth.
Sasa had detected something peculiar in his blood, capable of transforming an ordinary experimental animal.
He just wasn't sure how his bone marrow compared to his blood in terms of peculiarity.
Alright, Yan Luo was now almost sure the Wind God Eagle was targeting him for his blood, his bone marrow.
That meant, until it succeeded, it wouldn't back down.
"Damn it!" Yan Luo cursed.
Yet, even if he was given another choice, Yan Luo would still choose to obtain such a wondrous physique.
Unable to imprint, he could only rely on this physique to grow stronger.
Another eagle screech echoed from above, causing Yan Luo to frown.
Because this screech had a different implication.
It wasn't viciousness; more like... a warning?
Alarms rang in Yan Luo's mind—who was the warning for?
The next moment, Yan Luo understood what the Wind God Eagle was warning about!
Rumble—!
Accompanied by a quake, Yan Luo's sensory module picked up a massive object approaching from his side.
Two meters high, five meters wide, three meters long...
Yan Luo's eyes widened suddenly, he promptly turned the motorcycle head, quickly moving away from the forest.
Almost in the next second, several trees on the outer edges of the forest suddenly flew up, and an enormous giant serpent rushed out from the trees.
Seeing its massive form, yellowish scales, and the horn standing upright like a spear, Yan Luo couldn't help but curse.
"Goddamn, horned giant serpent!"
From the name alone, it was clear this demon had no other features; its horn and massive body were its main traits.
Typically, such naming implied the demon had extremely strong physical abilities.
Horned giant serpents were just like that; they had no powerful superpower, only a body stronger than anything else.
Such a demon's muscle power was so strong that a deadly-level horned giant serpent could leap thirty meters into the air.
Now appearing before Yan Luo was a City-breaking Level horned giant serpent.
With two City-breaking Level demons entertaining him, how blessed was he!
