"What do we do now? Fire a distress signal?" the Fisherman asked.
The distress signal was red, green, then red. It could be fired repeatedly at ten-second intervals, and once fired, it meant abandoning the trial.
Things had already reached this point. The hunters who had landed on the island had suffered devastating casualties, and the Eight-Headed Serpent had slipped into the nearshore waters... The trial itself no longer mattered. Even if Tianshu Tower urgently canceled the trial and evacuated every hunter from the island, probably no one except those Anglo-Saxon Hunters would object.
The problem was that no one could come evacuate them.
Given Nameless Island's bizarre properties, ordinary people who set foot on the island would only be walking into death. But if they organized an elite hunter squad for a rescue mission, and the people they sent were not numerous or strong enough, they would not be coming to save anyone—they would be coming to throw away their lives.
The appearance of the Eight-Headed Serpent meant that the highest-priority task was now to subdue it, not rescue the hunters who had landed on the island. Chunming City was only three hundred kilometers away. At the Eight-Headed Serpent's speed in the water, it would need only an hour to reach the capital of the Xiazhou Federation.
Compared to Chunming City and the tens of millions living within it, this group of hunters was practically negligible.
Assuming the Federal Government and Tianshu Tower had already received the message he sent, what they were preparing now would definitely be an operation to subdue or drive away the Eight-Headed Serpent, not a rescue mission.
If it had been an anomaly like Longyanlei, perhaps they could have replicated the lure operation and had Bao Si use her charm ability to draw it
