Yan Luo's heart seemed to stop for a moment, but soon, he reacted.
These demons are fish, and they're all of the same kind, just in large numbers.
"A fish swarm? That's a bit too much..."
Yan Luo couldn't help but take a deep breath, not stopping his motorcycle, and moving forward slowly.
He didn't dare drive too fast because he didn't know how these fish swarms identify friend or foe. If he accidentally hurt one, would the other fish demons attack him?
The demons appearing in his visor seemed like a brilliant galaxy, and Yan Luo had to be extremely careful to navigate through the fish swarm.
The fish swarm was also moving, swimming along the direction of the river.
Yan Luo and the fish swarm coexisted peacefully for about five or six minutes when suddenly, the swarm became agitated.
The fish swarm behind suddenly sped up, like a flood, wrapping up the fish swarm in front, causing them to accelerate together.
Although the sensing module hadn't detected anything yet, Yan Luo knew something must be wrong, or the fish swarm wouldn't have started behaving erratically.
The fish demons first reacted from behind, suggesting something was coming from behind them.
Realizing this, Yan Luo didn't hesitate any longer, immediately increasing the motorcycle speed, no longer proceeding cautiously.
Even underwater, the motorcycle could reach a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, though at this speed, the driver had to withstand immense water pressure.
An intense force crushed forward, and Yan Luo had to exert all his strength, grip the handlebars tightly with both hands, and clamp his legs around the bike to stay steadily seated on the saddle.
As the speed picked up, the motorcycle continuously overtook the fish demons, heading toward the front of the swarm.
At the same time, Yan Luo indeed noticed some commotion coming from behind.
It seemed something was sucking up the river water, and the fish swarm, trying their hardest to swim, had their speed slowed down, their bodies uncontrollably being pulled back.
Rather than escaping, the fish swarm seemed to be resisting the suction from behind.
A moment later, the suction suddenly disappeared, and the fish swarm accelerated forward, as if relieved.
But even as fast as they swam, they couldn't match the speed of the motorcycle.
A bit later, Yan Luo reached the forefront of the fish swarm, yet they still struggled, trying to accelerate and escape.
It was clear that these fish demons had quite a bit of experience in dealing with whatever level demon was chasing them.
Of course, it's merely resistance, not a fight.
A few seconds later, the suction came again from behind, and Yan Luo saw the fish demons around him getting pulled back.
Some more spiritually aware fish demons noticed Yan Luo, and they opened their mouths to bite onto his exoskeleton or motorcycle.
When those fish demons bit him, Yan Luo was startled, almost believing they intended to attack him, only realizing later they were merely trying to use his strength to escape.
Is it because few Hunters visit the mystical dungeon, and most demons here have survived for a long time?
Yan Luo always felt the demons here seem more 'peaceful' than those on the surface, even facing a human like him; they didn't seem to have aggressive instincts.
If anything, it was he who had sufficient desire for attack and nourishment against the demons.
What caused such a situation?
Yan Luo suddenly had a whim to study the mystical dungeon.
But not long after, he discarded that idea.
He's not a researcher; those trying to study it should handle such matters. He's a Hunter; his duty is to hunt demons and eradicate the abyss.
More and more fish demons clung onto Yan Luo and his motorcycle, some with no place to bite sinking their teeth into their kind, so when Yan Luo rushed out of the water, around fifty fish demons were hanging onto him.
At this point, Yan Luo could finally take a closer look at these fish demons to ascertain their true identity.
He pulled a fish demon off himself and examined it carefully, uncertain about its identity.
It looked much like an iron-scale fish, but the body spikes made them resemble spiky fish.
Yan Luo removed a few more from himself and found they all had similar traits.
Could it be a new kind of demon?
Or maybe these demons are a hybrid of iron-scale fish and spiky fish?
Yan Luo furrowed his brows tightly.
The mysteries of the mystical dungeon were numerous, even for someone like him with deep research into the Crimson Abyss; he couldn't ascertain what was happening here.
Neglect leads to trouble, as expected!
Yan Luo used his knife to peel off the fish demons' scales, cut away the body spikes, bit down, and tore off a large piece of flesh from the demon.
Moderate texture, among all the demons Yan Luo had tasted, this fish demons' flesh ranked mid-level, just the scales and body spikes needed pre-treatment, unlike some demons that can be eaten directly.
Having eaten a few, with a slight satiety feeling in his stomach, Yan Luo didn't remove the other fish demons but carried them directly toward the exit.
Shortly after Yan Luo emerged from the underground river, the water suddenly exploded, and a loud sound echoed within the subterranean cavity.
Even though Yan Luo had distanced himself from the underground river, he could still hear the sound and immediately reacted —
City-breaking Level Demon?
Really, is he that unlucky?
Previously, when Yan Luo traveled from the rear of the fish swarm to the front, he could still feel the suction, even though the demon chasing from behind also progressed. Still, to create such powerful suction, Yan Luo could only think of a City-breaking Level Demon.
Fatal-level demons can't reach this level, only City-breaking Level demons can.
Yan Luo sighed inside. He was truly unlucky, encountering City-breaking Level demons wherever he went, and these demons had an intense urge to devour him, never giving up until they ate him.
Fortunately, he was now not far from the subterranean cavity where the exit was located; as long as he could pass through it, even if City-breaking Level demons chased him, whoever guarded the station would deal with them.
Any entrance connected to the abyss on Blue Star possessed the capability to kill City-breaking Level demons. If the entrance happened to have an exploration town, even hordes of City-breaking Level demons could be eliminated entirely.
Only Disaster-level demons were a concern, but fortunately, they hadn't appeared in the demon tides yet.
According to the "Abyss Safety Protection Ordinance," if Disaster-level demons appeared on Blue Star and lacked a nearby Second Rank Engraver, the military would directly utilize nuclear weapons for attacks.
Besides nuclear weapons, no conventional weapons could inflict harm on Disaster-level demons.
Only a few subterranean cavities remained, although the mystical dungeon's terrain wasn't smooth, Yan Luo could still travel at 220 kilometers per hour, passing through several cavities wouldn't take him an hour.
Zzz—!
The sensing module suddenly issued a warning to Yan Luo, reminding him of positive charge movement in the surrounding environment, indicating the presence of electricity in the air.
For a fleeting moment, Yan Luo hesitated, then his eyes widened.
—Two City-breaking Level Demons?
The City-breaking Level demon previously chasing the fish swarm primarily used immense suction to ingest the swarm, but now, the surroundings produced electrical currents, clearly not generated by the same creature.
The sensing module only detected environmental changes, but hadn't pinpointed the demon causing them, implying it was modifying Yan Luo's environment from a great distance.
Yan Luo's exoskeleton's sensing module comprised various devices, even if a demon could deceive one of them, fooling others would be challenging.
Therefore, Yan Luo suspected the presence of a second City-breaking Level Demon.
Had the City-breaking Level demon pursuing him possessed electrical capabilities, it would've made a move underwater.
City-breaking Level demons resort to every means to devour Yan Luo, so the pursuing demon surely lacked electrical abilities, indicating a second City-breaking Level Demon was here!
[Warning: Electric shock incoming!]
The sensing module had already forecasted the electric shock, and Yan Luo instantly activated the "Faraday Cage" mode on his exoskeleton.
Electric light flared up in the dim subterranean cavity but was completely blocked by the exoskeleton!
