The group of middle-aged men headed towards the center of the city.
Along the way, the ground was littered with the corpses of Fierce Beasts.
The corpses of Dragon-men also increased in number, and they even saw quite a few weapons.
"These must be the weapons of the Dragon-men?"
Someone saw this scene and became extremely excited.
"Yes, they are the Dragon-men’s weapons."
Tian Country nodded.
Although they were all B-level Awakened, they had all learned martial arts and used weapons in combat.
The swords and knives used by the Human Race were no more than one meter long, rarely exceeding two meters.
Long spears were somewhat longer, reaching over two meters, sometimes even exceeding three meters.
But the weapons before them, even the swords and knives, were generally two to three meters long.
"It seems those Dragon-men have really been defeated."
He muttered to himself.
Otherwise, how could even their weapons be discarded here?
"Hahaha, Brother Wei, Brother Tian, it looks like this time we won’t need much effort to kill those three Commander-level Fierce Beasts inside."
"That’s right. Initially, we thought this trip would be in vain, but it turned out to be a lucky break. We really need to thank these Dragon-men."
"Hahaha."
Laughter echoed.
"We’ll only know exactly what happened when we get there. Let’s remain cautious; better safe than sorry."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
He also believed things were as everyone speculated.
However, years of experience kept him cautious.
After all, once on scene, they would know what’s going on.
The group continued towards the center.
The number of Fierce Beast corpses diminished.
"It seems those Dragon-men had to retreat when attacking here."
Tian Country said.
"Prepare for battle."
The middle-aged man said.
Instantly, various weapons appeared in the hands of several people.
The air was extremely quiet, except for occasional beast roars around.
Finally, the group arrived at the center.
From afar, they saw a huge pile of Fierce Beast corpses stacked like small mountains.
Everyone immediately tightened their grip on their weapons or prepared their superpowers, ready to activate at any sign of danger.
One second passed,
Two seconds passed,
Over ten seconds passed, but there was no movement.
They exchanged glances; what’s going on? Why were these Fierce Beasts completely unresponsive?
"These Fierce Beasts seem to be all dead?"
The middle-aged man suddenly said.
"What? All dead?"
"All dead?"
"How could it be?"
The group exclaimed in surprise.
According to their guess, the Fierce Beasts inside should have fought the Dragon-men to mutual destruction.
If these Fierce Beasts were all killed, why would the Dragon-men flee?
"Brother Wei, should we go take a look?" Someone tentatively asked.
"Hmm."
The middle-aged man led the way, with the others following behind to a massive Fierce Beast corpse.
"Earth-Splitting Lion?"
Someone uncertainly questioned.
They were uncertain because the corpse in front of them was incomplete, with some parts missing.
The remaining parts looked very much like an Earth-Splitting Lion.
"Yes, it’s an Earth-Splitting Lion." Tian Country gasped, feeling a strong sense of oppression even from the corpse.
If this Fierce Beast were alive, killing it would not be easy.
"The valuable materials on this Earth-Splitting Lion’s body seem to have been taken." Someone said in surprise.
"Not just the Earth-Splitting Lion. Look at these two Fierce Beasts; based on their size, they should also be Commander-level Fierce Beasts. The valuable materials on their bodies are also missing."
"How could this be?"
Everyone looked and soon revealed disappointed expressions.
They thought the three Commander-level Fierce Beasts were only seriously injured, but it turned out all dead.
This was barely acceptable.
But what disappointed them was that the materials on the three Commander-level Fierce Beasts were gone!
This was truly disappointing.
"The materials on the Elite-level Fierce Beasts also seem to be missing."
"Mine too, they’ve all been taken."
Voices rose one after the other.
"Damn it! It must be those Dragon-men who took them, those bastards!"
The short-haired man cursed, filled with frustration and helplessness.
"Alright, cheer up."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "These Fierce Beasts weren’t killed by us; there’s nothing to feel bad about."
"Yes." Tian Country also consoled.
Though he still found the situation puzzling.
So many Elite-level Fierce Beasts and Commander-level Fierce Beast corpses. Didn’t the Dragon-man Race win?
If so, why did they retreat hastily, discarding their weapons and leaving behind their comrades’ bodies?
At that moment, someone exclaimed excitedly.
"Brother Wei, this Elite-level Fierce Beast’s corpse is intact!"
"This one too!"
"And this one! Wait!"
His gaze shifted to the back at Elite-level Fierce Beast corpses, his voice suddenly raised to 120 decibels, "The materials on these Fierce Beasts seem to be untouched!"
"What!"
Including the middle-aged man, everyone showed incredulous expressions.
They walked over and examined carefully.
Eventually finding that nearly half of the Elite-level Fierce Beasts were still intact.
"This? What’s going on?"
Someone asked.
Why were the materials on some Elite-level Fierce Beasts taken and not others?
"Could the Dragon-men have run out of time?"
"I understand now!"
Country Tian shouted.
"Brother Tian, what do you understand?"
"Yeah, what do you know about what’s going on?"
The crowd stared at him.
"Hmm."
Country Tian nodded:
"If I’m not mistaken, those Dragon-men indeed defeated the Fierce Beasts in the city and took some materials from their bodies, but they didn’t have time to take the remaining ones because something sudden happened."
"What sudden thing?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"Not sure."
Country Tian shook his head,
"Maybe something happened in their territory needing immediate support, or a powerful enemy compelled them to retreat. Judging by the traces, I think the second possibility is more likely."
"A powerful enemy?"
The group became nervous hearing this.
These Fierce Beasts’ death seemed recent, maybe in the morning.
They wouldn’t suddenly encounter that powerful enemy, right?
"No need to worry too much."
Country Tian smiled, "Firstly, it’s just my guess; secondly, that powerful enemy possibly left long ago."
"Right, we’ve been here a while now without any appearance, indicating the enemy might have left."
"To make Dragon-men flee so abruptly, the strength must be terrifying."
"Not necessarily," someone said, "Even if the Dragon-men killed the Commander-level Fierce Beasts, they were exhausted and retreating isn’t strange." The short-haired man’s lips curved proudly, "We should thank that powerful enemy; without him, we wouldn’t have stumbled upon this fortune."
"Right right."
Saying this, they all laughed.
Dozens of intact Elite-level Fierce Beasts, totaling over ten thousand points.
Importantly, they were freebies, effortless and danger-free.
What could be better?
"Brother Wei?"
They looked at the middle-aged man.
He smiled, "Then let’s start. After gathering the materials, we’ll explore other areas, but stay cautious."
"Hmm."
They smiled and went to gather materials from Fierce Beast corpses.
Brother Wei, too cautious, always said to be careful.
Little did they know a black figure was lurking behind a building, watching them.
This figure wasn’t anyone else but the Black Armored Dragon-man, who had been waiting for Chen Fan.
It watched the group, frowning.
These people weren’t the same ones described by its kin.
Could the killer be among them?
Impossible.
Because it learned the Human Race’s language, understanding these people’s words.
If the killer were among them, they wouldn’t look so clueless.
"Death."
Its eyes flashed with intense murderous intent.
Even if these people weren’t the ones who killed its kin, so what?
Humans coming to its door, it was happy to send them to death.
But these humans had peculiar items, some capable of instant teleportation, posing the risk of alerting the real killer if anyone escaped.
It sneered coldly and silently approached.
"I wonder, what kind of enemy could make these Dragon-men flee in panic."
The middle-aged man puffed a cigarette, saying.
"Yes, I’m curious too." Tian Country nodded, "Could it be a Fierce Beast? Or a human?"
"Hope it’s humans."
The middle-aged man smiled.
"Hmm."
Tian Country smiled too.
If humans eliminate Fierce Beasts, the next opponent would be these beings from other dimensions.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man’s face changed, "Brother Tian, don’t you think it suddenly became very quiet around us?"
"!"
Tian Country realized, looking around.
A chill crawled up his spine.
Everyone around was gone!
"Xiaozhao? Xiaowang?"
He called for his companions.
But it was like a stone sinking into the sea, no response.
"Something’s happened!"
The middle-aged man’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
To do this under their noses, stealthily, the strength must far surpass theirs.
At that moment, a foul wind came from behind.
