Chapter 1798: The Hunt Begins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Traveling through the thousands of meters of Odylic Lava, Lin Huang finally saw a Dimensional Whirlpool at the bottom of the volcano.
He stepped into it. The next second, he found himself in another world directly.
There was no sun in the dim skies. There were only some stars.
There was a faint rancid smell that lingered in the air.
“As I thought. It’s the rancid smell of the Abyss.” Lin Huang wrinkled his nose.
He was familiar with this smell since he had been to the Abyss many times.
After glancing around and observing his surroundings for a little while, he spread out his Divine Telekinesis directly.
This time, he controlled it accurately. It was exactly at the limit of major dao-level.
His Divine Telekinesis spread out like a ripple, scanning through the entire level of the mystic territory instantly.
Although the Divine Telekinesis’ strength was at the limit of major dao-level in terms of probing, as his God Weapons came with a concealing effect, nobody noticed his actions at all.
Local monsters aside, even those major dao-level explorers from the Eastern 23 Zone did not notice him at all.
Within a short span of time, Lin Huang obtained an overview of the entire level of the mystic territory.
This level was categorized into four layers.
The innermost layer was an irregular zone that was shaped somewhat like a circle. There were monsters that had mastered over 800,000 Dao seals in there.
Lin Huang called this layer the ‘core’ layer.
There was a zone that looked like a ring covering the core layer.
He called that the ‘inner’ layer.
Another ring-like layer covered the inner layer. The monsters in there had mastered 300,000 to 500,000 Dao seals.
He called it the ‘surface’ layer.
Outside the surface layer was another ring-like zone. Its size was the largest, but the ability of the monsters here was the weakest. They had mastered between 100,000 to 300,000 Dao seals.
Lin Huang called this layer the ‘superficial’ layer.
He also noticed that he was currently located at the southeastern point of the superficial layer.
“The most optimal route now is to go all the way north…” He soon came up with a plan regarding his route. “There’s actually no need for me to actively hunt monsters in the superficial layer and surface layer. I’ll just kill the monsters I find along the way. I can take a few detours in the inner layer and kill some of them that are close to my route. However, I must enter the core layer within two days. I’ll have around two weeks to wrap things up after that. It’ll be enough for me to kill everything in there.”
Lin Huang headed all the way north after spending a couple of seconds planning his route.
To prevent monsters from running away from his aura, he even disguised his aura as someone who had just reached major dao-level, who had mastered 108,000 Dao seals.
He even adjusted his traveling speed to that of a typical major dao-level beginner.
He had completely disguised himself as a rookie who, on the surface, looked like he had just entered major dao-level.
He even concealed his aura a little on purpose, so as to look cautious like how a major dao-level beginner would behave.
One might not be able to sense his ‘clumsy’ concealment from far away, but those local monsters that were closer could sense it easily.
In reality, he acted this way in order to lure those local monsters to come to him themselves.
He did not want to bother wasting time looking for monsters in the superficial layer and surface layers. Therefore, he used that method to lure them to him.
As expected, a monster took the bait within three minutes of his departure.
A dark-purple scorpion beast that was hiding underground attacked him.
However, a red gleam penetrated the ground when just half of its three snake-like scorpion tails had surfaced. The red gleam penetrated the monster’s head that had yet to surface from underground.
The three-tailed scorpion turned into a carcass after appearing for less than 0.01 seconds.
Until its death, it did not know that Lin Huang had already sensed its existence with his Divine Telekinesis while it was still hiding underground.
Lin Huang did not slow down at all. He picked up the carcass with a Divine Telekinesis thread and put it away into his storage space directly.
After flying for some two minutes, another monster came to him.
It was a pitch-black dark crow this time.
Lin Huang had actually noticed it from the beginning. Judging by the strength of its aura, it had mastered approximately 270,000 Dao seals. It easily ranked within the top ten of the superficial layer. Therefore, it was flying around fearlessly in the area. Even if it met someone that was more powerful than it was, it could easily escape with its speed.
In reality, Lin Huang had not expected to meet this monster.
The reason being was that it was still pretty far away from him a few minutes ago.
It must have flown nearby unintentionally while hunting for prey. It attacked Lin Huang without hesitation after sensing his aura.
Something tragic was going to happen…
Watching the dark crow charging at him with bright eyes, Lin Huang knew that it treated him as delicious food.
The next second, a red gleam slashed out at a speed countless times faster than the dark crow. It shot through the crow’s head.
It was another headshot.
The dark crow failed to react in time. It merely saw a red gleam sparkling faintly before its consciousness faded away completely.
Before its carcass fell to the ground, Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis thread picked it up and put it away into his storage space.
From that point on, Lin Huang would be attacked almost every three to five minutes, and he would naturally obtain a beast carcass after each instance.
Approximately five hours later, he had collected close to 80 carcasses before finally traveling through the superficial layer to reach the surface layer.
After entering the surface layer, he adjusted his disguised combat strength a little.
He adjusted it to the lowest combat strength of the monsters in the surface layer—300,000 Dao seals.
He also adjusted his speed accordingly.
His aura remained in the same ‘clumsy’ concealed state, and he continued to play the “baiting” game.
The outcome was as he expected.
The monsters in the surface layer were no wiser than the monsters in the superficial layer.
His technique still worked in the surface layer.
The monsters’ attacks were even more frequent.
The reason being was that competition here was even more intense than the superficial layer.
There would be a round of monster attacks almost every two to three minutes.
However, Lin Huang killed all of the monsters that attacked him easily without exception, and their carcasses became his spoils.
The size of the surface layer was actually similar to the superficial layer. Nevertheless, Lin Huang was flying extremely fast, so he traveled through this layer within two hours (It is not that 300,000 Dao seals is two times faster than 100,000 Dao seals. Lin Huang not going at full speed is taken into account in the time difference. He slowed down to invite sneak attacks, while the attacks on this layer were more frequent).
When Lin Huang stepped into the third layer, the inner layer, he quickly adjusted his aura again.
He adjusted his combat strength aura to the lowest standard that the monsters in this layer had, which was 500,000 Dao seals…
