Rich spiritual energy floats in this world. This is a new world where the strong run rampant, a new ghoul feeding ground yet to be explored.
...
“Ahhhh!”
The residents of Yuebaiting screamed in terror at the sudden attack.
“Woo——!”
A sharp sound pierced the night sky. It was the human army stationed at the Yuebaiting River Bay port that sounded the alarm.
But this is just a small port for transit. Even though it is not far from the front line, there are not many soldiers left here.
In fact, if it weren't for the discovery of rich psychic metal deposits, the human race would have abandoned this place.
After all, there is also a port city downstream of another river, Zhuoshui, which is larger in scale.
And they completely belong to the upper echelons of the human race.
After all, the human race just can't bear to give up the mineral veins here.
The beastmen of the nearby Wanren Rainforest said they were also salivating over these mineral veins.
It just so happens that I can't stand the human army hanging around near my territory. Now that the top leaders have given the order, I might as well kill them to my heart's content today!
"kill!"
At the command, the regular troops hiding in the mountains and forests swarmed out.
The garrison troops waiting in the upper and lower rivers of Yuebaiting set up blockades, and the encirclement was quickly formed.
The soldiers armed with various standard beast weapons easily rushed into Yuebaiting, where the city walls were low.
As a small settlement, Yuebaiting's fortifications were no match for the beastman army.
The fog grew thicker, and the beast soldiers, seeing the blood, hacked at the enemy with increasing ferocity.
No matter whether they are old, young, female or male, they will be killed on sight.
The blood spread from the outskirts of the city to the center, and at this moment the beast soldiers were already blood-thirsty.
They ignored the citizens who rose up in resistance, ignored the pots and pans thrown at them, and just picked up their weapons and started chopping!
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
These flesh and blood were scattered in the air, and the next moment they would be gathered by feather powder and then absorbed by He Yu.
"Swishing..."
Other subtle sounds began to appear in the thick fog at night.
The orc army in the fog became more and more agitated, until one of the soldiers swung his sword at the friendly soldiers beside him, and the battlefield was completely in chaos.
The formal army that had previously enforced strict discipline disappeared.
Instead, there were beastmen who indiscriminately attacked all living things around them.
The beastmen are an intelligent species that is more like animals.
Now that their bloodthirsty instincts have been fully ignited, they are no different from the wild beasts in the mountains that eat raw meat and drink blood.
"Everyone, stop fighting!"
The commander's angry voice was transmitted to the soldiers' minds through the hive threads.
But it was no use, they could no longer hear anything from the outside world.
The toxins that continue to accumulate in their bodies stimulate them to kill crazily, and only death can stop them.
The commander was far away in the mountains behind. He had no idea what had happened in Yue Baiting and just thought it was a military mutiny.
"That shouldn't be the case. We were just attacking a medium-sized settlement, how did it get out of control?"
The commander's smile froze completely.
There were heavy casualties on the Lingyun River battlefield. If the commander-in-chief there was not highly respected, he would have been dismissed.
As a newly appointed commander, he has no outstanding military achievements.
This loss was enough for him to be court-martialed and sentenced to death.
Zi Sui, who was hiding in the mine, smiled without saying a word, just absorbing energy.
The chaos in Yuebaiting continued to ferment, and thanks to this, the detainees hiding in Yuebaiting escaped.
However, the captor was only at the ninth level of the Xuan Realm. Although he broke out of Yue Baiting, he was stabbed several times and his life would not last long.
Before he died, he injected the last bit of his spiritual energy into the golden chain hidden under his clothes.
"This is Yuebaiting. The beastman army suddenly attacked us, and all the detainees here have been killed..."
The remaining spiritual energy was only enough for him to finish speaking these words intermittently.
So, he allowed the chains to drain his life force and continued.
"The orc army is fighting among themselves, requesting support."
It only took a second for him to finish.
Then, deathly silence enveloped the area.
The captor was standing not far from Yuebaiting and just died.
The chains slowly devoured his body completely, and then, with this power, locked his soul inside.
“Dang!”
The golden chain fell to the ground, and the chains collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Half-human-high weeds obscured the chain, hiding it there, waiting to be retrieved.
…
On the other side, across the ocean, our sight falls on the central part of Lantiaozhou.
Yan Fei and his group hid in a place a little further away from Shahai City, waiting for the intelligence officer to come and contact them.
Soon after, a figure approached them under the cover of night.
The visitor quickly introduced himself without waiting for them to ask.
"I'm the head of the intelligence team in Shahai City. You can just call me Sand Mole."
He raised his hand to reveal the golden chains on his wrist that were coiled and crisscrossed, almost completely embedded in his flesh.
"I'm the arrester."
There is no need for further authentication. It is a default fact that the detainees will not betray the human race.
"Thank you for your hard work. We need tickets to return to Kaiyangzhou, or a power source for the small submarine. Would you be able to provide them?"
Yan Fei didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, stating his purpose directly.
"Don't worry about this for now," the mole was obviously very satisfied with this, and his distant tone became a little softer.
He handed Yan Fei a communicator and continued.
"This is a communicator used to contact higher-ups. You have been assigned new tasks."
There was an undisguised seriousness in the mole's voice, indicating that this mission was personally assigned from above and no mistakes were allowed.
