Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2607

Chapter 2607: Void Hunter

After ignoring every Void Specter they encountered, Yuan’s group reached the Orange Zone in just a day. Since Unknown Ores were rarely found near its outskirts, they continued venturing deeper.

Before long, Yuan had gone farther into the Orange Zone than he ever had during any of his cleanup missions.

"Alright, let’s begin our search here," the squad leader said.

"Wait. Since this is Corporal Yuan’s first mission of this kind, shouldn’t we explain how it works first?"

"Oh, right." The squad leader turned to Yuan. "It’s quite simple. We’ll form a line with some distance between each person, then advance together. If anyone spots an Unknown Ore, they let the others know so we can stop and wait for them to retrieve it."

"..."

Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing the explanation, unable to ignore how inefficient the method seemed. However, he also understood the need for order. If everyone searched independently, it would be easy for someone to get lost.

Thus, Yuan decided to try their method first before suggesting an alternative.

Soon, they formed an orderly line, leaving several hundred miles between each person, and advanced deeper into the Orange Zone, gradually drawing closer to the Red Zone.

Shortly after they began moving, Yuan asked, "Wouldn’t this method be more efficient with more people? Why did we split the group into several squads and send them in different directions?"

"Huh? You don’t know about ’that’?" The soldiers turned to look at him with surprised faces.

"What is ’that’?"

"We call it the Void Hunter. It’s an abnormal and mysterious being that appears when too many people are gathered in one place to hunt them."

"It’s so powerful and dangerous that meeting it is essentially a death sentence. Because of this, we tend to keep our numbers as small as possible."

"Is it anything like the Void Specters?" Yuan asked.

"Yes, but it takes the form of a human being."

"And how strong is it... roughly?"

"So strong that nobody has been able to defeat it. I heard that even the strongest cultivator in history, Tian Yuchen, was completely helpless against it."

"That strong?" Yuan’s eyes widened at this information, as Tian Yuchen was able to climb all the way to the 50th floor in Endless Assault. This meant that the Void Hunter was likely several times stronger than his bottleneck on the 46th floor.

However, he couldn’t fathom why such a being even exists. What was its purpose? Why does it only appear when many people gather in one place?

About two hours later, Yuan sensed an Unknown Ore not far away in the distance, but it was located ahead of another soldier.

Rather than announcing his finding, Yuan waited to see how long it’d take before they noticed.

Some time later, the soldier finally noticed the Unknown Ore and said, "Found one!"

The others immediately came to a halt and waited for the soldier to retrieve the Unknown Ore using Void Control, as the place was crawling with Void Specters.
