Incursion(8)

Blood and organs from Hunters and creatures are scattered all over the place as the battle progresses.

The two sides were not afraid and attacked without hesitation to kill each other.

The Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent just stared as if it was watching a show.

As long as the Hunters didn't approach, it wouldn't attack. But the Blue Poison was already diluted in water and air, in case they defeat the subordinate creatures.

Liu Yang was running around in an attempt to absorb the energies scattered all around, but he also helped by using spells to disrupt the creatures.

The power used in the spells was minimal to avoid suspicion, but he made it look like he was attacking with all his might.

Many soldiers and Hunters died on various sides of the small island.

Thus, the physical and mental reinforcement was much greater than that day inside the mountain in the Silver World.

Little by little, he was already getting as strong as a mid-level Hunter or much stronger than them.

…

The bloody battle lasted for about an hour before it ended, but forty percent of the soldiers and Hunters that invaded the island were either killed or were so severely wounded that they can't even fight anymore.

All creatures have been defeated.

The only one left was the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent, which looked at all of them with those three pairs of sinister eyes.

The long, thin forked tongue came out of the mouth before reentering.

Hissing's sound was like a death chant for everyone.

Liu Yang helped carry the wounded back to the boat to be healed and try to get the hallucinogenic poison out.

Many of them were having strong hallucinations.

The poison seeped into their bodies through the heavy wounds.

The other soldiers and Hunters also retreated to rest.

The Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent didn't stop them from doing that, nor did other creatures because they had already been defeated.

The wounded were healed by those who had healing spells, while the others made camps in the area farthest from the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent to avoid being attacked, even if the creature has no intention of doing so unless invaders get too close to it.

…

"Liu Yang, what are you doing?" The captain asked why he saw him leaving the camp to walk.

"Captain Wang, I just want to walk around the island and see if there are any clues on how to defeat this giant serpent, there must be some weak point. So I would like to walk around the island, but I won't get too close so as not to alert the creature." Liu Yang justified himself, but that was only half of his true objective.

"..." The captain was thinking about this, but there was nothing wrong with Liu Yang's words.

Other than curiosity and trying to find clues about the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent, there was no reason for Liu Yang to want to walk on the island.

At least that was the thinking of anyone who knows Liu Yang's limitations.

"You can go, just don't get too close to alert that creature. We are not only too tired to fight again but also morally tired, the death of many of our fellow soldiers is a very heartbreaking thing."

Whenever a soldier in his squad died, the captain felt as if a knife had cut his heart.

The soldiers were prepared to die, but they were his squad and his responsibility. So he had to bear the consequences of their deaths.

"Thanks for the permission" Liu Yang slowly walked around the beach areas excitedly, the energies of those who died were absorbed by him.

But it was difficult to see his expressions because of the mask and the vacuum cleaner he placed in front of his face but pointing upwards to absorb the venom.

Despite not having an antidote for the poison, it was still something useful during fights against assassins and other non-poisonous creatures.

As he did so, he looked at the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent to see if there was any easier way to deal with the creature, but there didn't seem to be any weaknesses externally.

If there is no external, then there would be one internally.

Liu Yang thought that it was necessary to be swallowed by the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent to defeat it.

Returning to the squad's camp, he got some sleep, even though he wasn't tired. It was just to deceive and not arouse suspicion.

…

Five hours later…

All squads were ready to fight.

The severely wounded could not return to the fight and could only stay on the boat to protect those who were supporting them.

Liu Yang stayed the same way as before, behind the squad to be a support and help when there was any danger.

Looking towards the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent, everyone had solemn looks, but also a little anxiety because the creature's power was unknown and there might be as many deaths as before.

Of the two thousand soldiers and Hunters who invaded the island at the beginning, only twelve hundred remained, the other eight hundred were killed in the battles around the island.

Thus, the amount of energy absorbed by Liu Yang was so much that he couldn't even calculate, it was necessary to know that ninety percent of those dead had levels above 100, so the power received was insane.

The only way to find out was to fight to the limits of his body, but there was no way he could do that in this place. Just traveling to some other, more remote, and empty location.

Unfortunately, the more energy from low-level beings was absorbed, the less effect it had in the long run.

Liu Yang needed to absorb the energies of awakening beings of higher levels to get stronger and continue this endless cycle until he became the most powerful Hunter in the world, even though he was at level 0.
