"What's going on? Where are Homan and Jon?"
After getting out of the car, Charlie, the captain of the hunting team, looked at Hiro, who had come to greet him, and asked.
"Our captain sacrificed himself in the battle last night to protect us, and Jon escaped in the chaos..."
Hiro said through gritted teeth.
How many of you are left?
Charlie continued to ask.
"17 people!"
Upon hearing this number, Charlie and the other hunters who came to help showed expressions of astonishment.
All eyes turned to the surviving hunters.
Over the past two decades.
The hunting teams dispatched by the lighthouse to search for supplies on the ground had never suffered such heavy losses.
Worst of all, even the invincible gravity-based mechs are gone.
"What exactly happened?"
Charlie frowned and pressed for more information.
"Last night..."
Hiro took a deep breath and recounted the entire thrilling experience of the previous night.
From the initial attack by the Soul-Eating Beast to being rescued by Li Qingge and Gigi.
Throughout the entire process, Hiro missed almost no crucial details.
"If it weren't for them, we would all be dead last night."
Hiro and the surviving hunters looked unusually somber, as if they had not yet fully recovered from that terrible nightmare.
"A giant Soul-Devouring Beast, capable of firing terrifying energy beams, unleashing powerful sonic attacks, and resurrecting smaller Soul-Devouring Beasts that have already died..."
These descriptions of the Soul-Eating Beasts, taken out of context, are enough to be shocking.
Ironically, all of these are used to describe a Soul-Eating Beast.
At this moment, even the hunters following Charlie looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Do such soul-devouring beasts really exist?"
"Luckily we didn't encounter them, otherwise we would be the ones who died."
"This is terrible. We've actually encountered a new type of Soul-Devouring Beast. This is the first time I've heard of one in decades."
"Shouldn't the communications department have already scanned the energy fluctuations at the mission site before we went to carry out the mission? How come we didn't detect anything?"
"Could it be that these Soul-Devouring Beasts have evolved to the point where they can conceal the energy fluctuations within their bodies?"
"..."
Various whispers and speculations arose within the hunting team.
However, compared to that giant soul-devouring beast...
Many hunters are also more interested in who can defeat it.
"Where is the woman on the ground? Where is she?"
Charlie asked.
"Over there..."
Hiro pointed to the RV not far away.
It stood apart from the rest of the convoy, looking somewhat out of place with their cars.
"Let's go take a look!"
As Charlie spoke, he led his men strode quickly toward the RV.
Just then.
In the distance, the roar of car engines rose again.
A convoy of dozens of cars drove toward them in a grand procession.
The massive convoy of dozens of armored vehicles resembled a surging torrent of steel.
They sped off in a mighty procession toward their location.
Both in scale and presence, it is more magnificent than any of their teams.
"laugh--"
A series of sharp braking sounds followed.
The formidable convoy came to a steady stop in front of the numerous hunters.
As a car parked in front of the crowd opened its doors.
A middle-aged man wearing a brown leather jacket stepped out of the car.
