Wilderness
The four Beast Tars were petrified on the spot. They noticed the reaction of their lifeline beasts before they could even think of a solution.
An unknown pressure landed on them.
The Tsetse Fly Beasts were waiting. This ti, the two Tier-6 beasts had a tactical understanding. They turned toward their kin and conveyed to them that they could take the human prey as food.
Buzz!
Hearing that, the Tier-5 Tsetse Fly Beasts from the group ca forward. Four beasts appeared in front of the Tier-6 beasts. Under their gaze, they turned toward the petrified human Beast Tars. The next second, the four Tier-5 beasts acted.
Pfff!
In an instant, the bodies of the human Beast Tars were pierced. Blood splattered on the ground.
The Beast Tars were scared to the core. Under their helpless gaze, they watched their own bodies being impaled. They could feel the blood in their bodies beginning to decrease.
In the blink of an eye, their bodies beca dry. The blood in their veins was completely consud by the four beasts.
The four Beast Tars lost their lives silently. They couldn’t even utter a word. Nobody had a clue that their mbers had died here.
The two Tier-6 beasts possessed intelligence. They understood that the remaining human Beast Tars wouldn’t co out anyti soon.
So far, the beasts had tasted the blood of eight Beast Tars.
They had co here to capture the specific Beast Tar who had injured them, yet they were able to feast on others. Since they were having such a feast, the two Tier-6 beasts decided to stay until they tasted the blood of the rest of the humans.
anwhile,
Leader Mike and the rest of the Beast Tars were waiting inside the hideout. Ti passed by, but there was no sign of the team coming back. Leader Mike and the remaining mbers were getting nervous.
They looked at each other. The first team sent earlier had been killed by the corrupted beasts above. Then, the sound beca quiet. Mike had sent a second team to check the surface. It had been so ti, and they hadn’t returned yet.
"Leader, I think it must be a Tier-6 corrupted beast," one of the mbers said.
Hearing that, others voiced the sa opinion. There were only four Beast Tars remaining on the spot.
Leader Mike’s expression darkened. He didn’t expect the corrupted beasts to stay in place; he had thought the beasts had left.
But he was wrong. They were waiting there to lure everyone out. Leader Mike looked at the remaining four Beast Tars.
To be honest, he wanted to send this last team out again, yet he knew it would be the sa as sending them to their deaths.
The faces of the remaining four were grim. They were afraid Mike would sacrifice them, especially because the people who went earlier had similar strength to theirs.
Mike then noticed the ti. He had to deliver the goods by the next morning. If the beasts continued to stay here, he would fail the mission. He could not let that happen.
After a long ti, he had finally gotten the opportunity to climb the ladder. He could not waste it. If he completed the mission, his position would be permanent.
Mike took a deep breath before making a firm decision.
He decided to go out now. If it was a Tier-6 beast causing the problem, he would risk it all to kill it. He turned toward the mbers and said, "Follow . I’ll kill the beast."
"Phew!"
Hearing that, the other four mbers heaved a sigh of relief. They had worried they would be used as scapegoats. Mike led them toward the open hatch, holding a sharp weapon in his hand, a cold axe.
On the other hand,
Jeremy Night was left speechless. He didn’t expect the second team to et such a tragic end. They hadn’t co back, which ant they had beco food for the fly beasts. But he didn’t feel bad.
The Darkshade mbers were criminals to begin with, involved in all kinds of illegal activities. If their actions were exposed to the public, it would cause a huge uproar.
A deep-frozen beast corpse in front of him was a perfect example and higher-tier beast at that.
If the Colossal Beasts were to learn of such activities, they would use the opportunity to attack the city.
Jeremy thought that such illegal activities could be contributing to the beast invasions. He collected his thoughts and continued to wait.
He didn’t think the Leader and the last team could solve the problem. Two Tier-6 beasts and their kin were circling above. He believed they would all beco food for the Tsetse Fly Beasts.
He only hoped the beasts would leave after that. If they stayed, he would be stuck here. Unless the Darkshade organization sent another team, he wouldn’t have a chance to leave on his own.
anwhile,
Leader Mike opened the hatch to erge outside. The other four mbers followed. Mike’s lifeline beast alerted him of danger first.
Before the other four could realize the threat, Mike hastily retreated and slamd the hatch shut.
His sudden actions startled the mbers. Unfortunately, they were too late to react. The four of them found their bodies frozen in fear.
Leader Mike re-entered the hideout alone. He heard noises outside, but he doubted the mbers would survive.
He broke out into a cold sweat. His lifeline beast had warned him just in ti: there was not just one Tier-6 beast, but two.
"Damn it," Mike uttered. "Where did these beasts co from?"
In a foul mood, he went back to his room. The four mbers were likely dead by now. He could only wait for backup to arrive.
At the sa ti, Jeremy was angry. He didn’t expect the leader to return alone. It ant he had ditched his mbers to save his own skin.
He hated cowards. Jeremy Night watched the leader’s movents. Seeing the man return to his office, his heart turned cold.
