After cutting off the left ears of the werewolf soldiers around him, Chen Feng continued towards the direction of the smoke signal, while secretly hunting down some scattered werewolf soldiers, most of whom were werewolf troops who had been defeated and scattered from the first stronghold.
Not long after Chen Feng turned to leave, a swift and well-trained mobile squad quickly arrived at the scene.
Led by the experienced and agile Xiang Dong, the team members looked serious and scanned their surroundings with sharp eyes.
When they arrived at the place where Chen Feng had previously clashed fiercely with Gray Tree, they immediately began a thorough search.
The team members spread out and searched every corner, but after a lot of effort, they still couldn't find any clues about Chen Feng's whereabouts.
This caused the previously confident group to feel doubtful and worried.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, someone suddenly noticed the billowing smoke rising in the distance.
The black smoke, as dark as ink, shot straight into the sky, as if conveying some important message.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction, wondering to themselves: Could there be clues related to Chen Feng's disappearance hidden there? Or has something else unexpected happened?
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Xiang Dong made a decisive decision to lead his team toward the place where the smoke was rising, hoping to uncover the truth behind this mystery...
"This is a signal fire from the werewolf clan to gather their forces, summoning werewolf warriors from the surrounding area. Let's go check it out," Xiang Dong said to his team.
"Captain, aren't we going to look for Chen Feng anymore?" the vice-captain asked.
“There are signs of battle here, and it’s heading in the direction of the smoke signals. If I’m not mistaken, Chen Feng should be alright, and he might go check on the werewolves,” Xiang Dong said, before leading his team forward.
More than ten minutes later, the mobile squad arrived at the place where Chen Feng had killed Wutu and the other werewolves like a gust of wind.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if they were witnessing a terrifying nightmare.
Werewolf corpses lay scattered on the ground, their blood staining the surrounding earth, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
The werewolves' bodies were contorted, as if telling the story of their pain and struggle in life.
Some werewolves were cut into pieces, while others had their hearts pierced; the scene was extremely gruesome.
Xiang Dong cautiously approached the werewolf soldier's corpse, his steps heavy, as if each step was on the edge of death.
He carefully examined the wounds on each body, trying to find some clues.
The werewolves' fur was stained with blood, and their fangs gleamed coldly in the sunlight, sending chills down one's spine.
The entire scene was deathly silent, with only the rustling of the wind through the trees and the heavy breathing of the mobile squad members.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground, but it could not conceal the bloody scene.
“These werewolf soldiers all died under the sword energy storm, and it’s very likely that Chen Feng killed them,” Xiang Dong concluded.
"This is the leader of the black werewolves who escaped before. I didn't expect him to die here," the vice-captain said after finding Utu's body.
"Captain, wasn't it said that the new recruit Chen Feng was only at the early stage of the seventh rank? How could he kill this sixth-rank Black Werewolf leader?" The soldiers in the squad all knew Chen Feng, so someone asked.
"This black werewolf leader has lost his right arm and was stabbed in the abdomen by Company Commander Si. He must be seriously injured. He's probably exhausted by the time he got here. If you encountered him, you could have killed him too," Xiang Dong said confidently to the soldiers.
All the soldiers in the mobile squad were seventh-grade martial artists, many of them were in the late stage of the seventh grade, and some were even at the peak of the seventh grade. If they really encountered a seriously injured and dying Utu, they would certainly be able to kill him.
"Once we're sure this kid's alright, we can leave him alone. We might even run into him up ahead." The mobile squad then quickly headed towards the direction of the smoke signal.
Not long after the mobile squad had gone far away and disappeared from sight, several reinforcements arrived at the location of Outpost No. 1 in quick succession.
These reinforcements came from different directions, including not only teams dispatched from four nearby strongholds, but also a mobile brigade of more than a hundred men, which was the size of a regiment.
When they rushed to their destination, they saw that Outpost No. 1 was completely intact and had not suffered any damage or attack. The huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, expressing their heartfelt relief.
However, just as everyone relaxed a little, someone suddenly noticed a plume of black smoke rising into the sky in the distance, like a ferocious black dragon piercing the clouds.
This unusual sight instantly drew everyone's attention, causing the previously relaxed atmosphere to suddenly become tense and solemn.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces revealing an undisguised solemnity, as if they sensed a huge storm was about to break.
"The werewolves withdrew their troops that had blocked all sides, and then began to gather their forces again. What are they trying to do?"
"Although we suffered heavy casualties, we also killed two sixth-rank werewolves, seriously injured one sixth-rank black werewolf, and killed several hundred werewolf soldiers. Now the werewolves are gathering their forces in two possible ways."
"First, we need to gather all our troops and launch another attack on the forward outposts. Second, the werewolf forces in the surrounding area have withdrawn. There's a mobile squad in that direction; they were originally there to help us find the new leader, Chen Feng. I estimate they might go there to check the situation," Si Yuniang analyzed.
