A sea of emptiness.

There was a sudden disturbance in the calm space, and a Soul Eater shark ended jumping and bounced out.

Soul Eaters do not have uniform specifications like human-made warships, as they vary in size due to the number and quality of soul devourers. From the 1,000-meter-long Soul Eater Shark at the bottom to the 100,000-meter-long Soul Eater Shark King Cannibell, the size of the body determines the combat power and class of these Soul Eater Sharks.

Of course, Soul Eaters with bodies longer than 5,000 meters are extremely rare, and most Soul Eaters are under 5,000 meters in length.

This Soul Eater shark that finished jumping was not very large, about 3,500 meters long, which was about the middle level of the shark group of hunters, and compared to a human warship, it was roughly equivalent to the level of a cruiser.

Although the length of this level of Soul Eater Shark exceeds that of the Cruiser-class cruiser, it is slightly weaker in terms of weapons and equipment, and the two sides really have to fight one-on-one, this level of Soul Eater Shark has the upper hand in speed and flexibility, but the attack power and defense are inferior to the Cruiser-class cruisers, and in overall comparison, it is slightly inferior.

But no one dares to underestimate such a soul-eating shark, even if it has only one. Even the appearance of such a single soul shark is the most terrifying, because they often represent the official beginning of the "hunt".

Hunters have two hunting methods, one is the standard hunting procedure, which uses the advantage of speed to divide and surround the enemy and then tear it to pieces. This type of hunt is usually seen in small and medium-sized shark colonies, which are generally less than 10,000 individuals.

The other is more ceremonial and terrifying. This type of hunting has an exclusive term called "kikter", which means "the hunt of kings", and this soul shark is the prelude to the hunt of kings.

In "Kiktor", this soul-eating shark is called "Shepherd Dog".

The term sheepdog does not belong to the native language of hunters, because there has never been a land creature like a dog on the gaseous planet of Ulmartan, but this does not mean that hunters will not borrow it.

In addition to the duties of guards, the general sense of the sheepdog is more to help the owner maintain order in the flock, drive the lone sheep back to the team, or correct the wrong direction of the sheep.

This Soul Eater is very similar to the Sheepdog in the hunt, except that the latter is shepherding the sheep for its owner, while the Soul Eater is grazing its prey.

Among the hunters, only Gornax is qualified to perform "Kiktor", so whenever this Soul Eater shark appears alone, it means that there will be at least 200,000 large Soul Eaters behind it - as the king of hunters, Gornax has at least 200,000 troops standing by his side.

Therefore, in the border wilderness, except for the remaining five kings, as long as everyone else sees this soul-eating shark that appears alone, they know that the end is coming.

"Fight the hunters or wait quietly for death", although the famous saying in the wilderness is not at all true, but when it comes to facing these murderous and crazy butchers, not many people can still maintain calm and courage, especially in the face of the hunt of the king of hunters.

And that's what "shepherd dog" is all about.

Intimidation, spreading fear, so that the prey loses the courage before the battle in order to better carry out the hunt, so that the prey also has a sense of ritual. At the same time, the frightened prey is also the hunter's best toy before the slaughter, and it is also a favorite sport for hunters to play with before devouring their souls.

There is not just one "sheepdog", but it will appear in every direction where the prey may escape, just like the original meaning of the word, bringing the "sheep" together and offering them to their owners.

This time, however, they seemed to have pounced, and the Sea of Silence was as silent as ever, with only the faint traces of a superstring jump indicating that someone had been here before.

It didn't take long for the cosmic vacuum to be like boiling water, and countless soul-eating sharks rushed out of the void, and the ripples caused by the spatial oscillation collided together, and the entire space was like a boiling pot.

"The target fled, and it is assumed that the jump had been over a week, and the spatial shock remainder was too weak to calculate the landing point of the superstring jump. The Shepherd Dog Squad reported to their king via a projection.

Each Soul Eater can only hold one Urmartan in its body, and they are assigned a Soul Eater cub from birth, and the two grow up together, without being separated from each other.

Therefore, when the hunters report to their king, they can only report through projection, for example, under the throne at this moment, the super elite of the Ulmartan clan, two hundred hunters with 20,000-meter-level soul eaters are divided into two columns, left and right, and they also participate in the meeting in the form of projection, because they also have no way to enter the body of the soul eater shark king Canibel.

After listening to the report of the shepherd, the face of Gornax, who was sitting on the throne, became gloomy. The King of the Hunters is not a good-natured man, his anger can erupt at any time like an active volcano, and all those affected by his anger will not end well.

Even the craziest hunter would be speechless in front of him, and although it was only reported through a projection, the hunter in the video looked like he was about to die of fright.

"The prey is very vigilant this time. At this moment, a man next to Gornax, who was only about one meter six tall, said.

Hunters are generally more than two meters tall, and Gornax is three meters tall and extremely strong. Compared to the King of Hunters, the man who spoke was much thinner, but such a thin man did not show any fear of Gornax, and his tone was very relaxed.

This thin man is no different from a standard human in appearance, except that both eyes are golden, as if they are woven of gold threads, even the whites of the eyes, which is quite weird.

There is only one race that has this eye in the Frontiers, and that is the Guiding Beings who have lived in the Planetary Chaos for generations, and there is only one Guiding Soul who can stand by Gornaks' side, and that is the traitor to the Guiding Beings, Nagel Graddock.

"Although they are very vigilant, in nature they are often the weakest animals, because they have too many natural predators to count, and they are so weak that they have no other ability to protect themselves than to be constantly alert to threats from the outside world. Nagel's golden eyes revealed a deep disdain, and he raised his head and said to Gornax, "Have you ever seen the Prink gopher of Gradock? It's disgusting to evolve such an ability in order to survive. ”

From the beginning of his defection to the hunters, Nagel showed an incomparable hatred and contempt for the weak, even more than the hunters. In his opinion, those weak races have no value in existence at all, just like guides, who only dare to hide in the chaotic planetary belt, and never have the courage to stand up and compete with other races in the border wasteland. In Nagel's mind, such a race must be completely destroyed like a vermin.

As for mutants like the Hunters, the ability to combine with the Soul Eater in their home planet Ulmartan and the ability to manipulate the Soul Eater to crisscross the Wasteland is a meaningful evolution in Nagel's opinion.

That's right, it's evolution, mutants are just a contemptuous term for them by standard humans, and mutants have always called themselves evolutionaries.

Nagel spoke eloquently, not paying the slightest attention to the angry gaze cast by the super-elite of Ulmartan under the throne.

In the eyes of these elites, Nagel is just a lowly guide, not worthy of standing with their king at all, if it weren't for their king deliberately allowing this "bug" to live in the body of the soul shark king Cannibel in a parasitic way, he wouldn't have survived at all!

"Nagar. Gornax's low, tearing voice sounded with the characteristic sounds of the Ulmartan being torn.

Gornax was already certain that the same group of people who saved Fedosia and destroyed his own reconnaissance fleet were the same men, and that they were also involved in the destruction of the King's System - this time along with his long-coveted treasure Braleva.

However, the King of Hunters is not worried about the strength of the other party at all, although the King System is destroyed, even if it is related to that group, it can only prove that they are not strong, because if he were to change himself, Gornax would definitely swallow the entire King System, and would not give Lobanov a chance to blow himself up.

What's more, before he arrived, the gang had already fled, and in Gornax's opinion, Nagel was right, fleeing a week in advance, such an act itself represented weakness.

"Nagle, tell me where they went. Gornax's voice was unmistakable, he was not asking questions, he was asking for answers.

"The junction of the Sea of Silence and the Confused Planetary Belt, two light-years away from the Confused Planetary Belt, and at a distance of our relative coordinates, DB2688+31°. The mark on Nagel's forehead shimmered, and it quickly came to fruition, "With one more two-week jump, we can get ahead of them and catch them all!"

"Good. Gornax nodded, no matter what, Nagel's abilities were still very useful, almost like they were made for hunters.

Although the hunter elites under the throne disliked Nagel, they had to admit that this guy's ability was indeed very useful.

"Immediately start the second jump, I, Gornax, the king of Ulmartan officially announce, the hunt has begun!" Gornax shouted to his feet.

At the same time, the sound of Gornax resounded throughout the entire group of Soul Eaters, and the hunters screamed excitedly one after another, and then frantically drove their own Soul Eaters into the tide of superstring jumping.
