Chapter 390: Night
Meanwhile, as Li Ke quickly returned to the wolfman tribe to deploy troops and head north to clear out the northern barbarians, a thick stench of blood permeated an entire tribal camp somewhere north of Myriad World Civilization’s northern border.
Bodies lay everywhere, and blood mixed with the mud on the ground.
Hearing the gradually fading footsteps, a figure hiding in the shadows was about to move but was pulled back by someone nearby.
“Hush, wait a bit longer.”
“But Papa and Mama…”
Staring at the two corpses within his sight, the young man’s swollen eyes could no longer shed a single tear.
Watching his parents die before his eyes, yet being able to do nothing, this profound sense of powerlessness almost made him break down on the spot.
If not for the person beside him constantly holding him down throughout, he might have rushed out to fight to the death long ago!
Just as he was about to say something, the gradually receding footsteps suddenly returned.
Pairs of glowing green eyes looked particularly chilling in the darkness.
The faint light from the burning campfire in the camp allowed those hiding in the shadows to barely make out the attackers’ appearances.
Those creatures were not human at all.
They had a pair of upright ears on their heads, and their glowing green eyes seemed to emit light in the darkness.
Long noses and ferocious fangs gave them thoroughly beast-like faces.
Yet, despite being beasts, they stood on two legs, supporting their entire bodies.
Their legs were short but stout, while their upper bodies, from the waist up, exhibited a contrasting muscularity.
This disproportion made them appear slightly hunched.
A large mass of extremely disheveled bristles extended from their backs to their heads.
Irregular black and brown spots covered their entire bodies, making them appear filthy and somewhat repulsive.
It was this group of monsters that attacked their tribal camp after nightfall, almost completely wiping out their entire tribe!
Those pairs of glowing green eyes quickly scanned the camp several times.
Then, a slightly awkward and stuttering voice rang out.
“You’re overthinking it. Are there still any living people?”
Hearing this voice, everyone hiding in the shadows instantly felt their hair stand on end, their hearts leaping to their throats!
“Probably.”
Another voice spoke up at this moment.
“There are two more bodies over there. Let’s drag them back together.”
“Oh, those? Those two humans are too old, not much meat, and don’t taste good. If you want to drag them, you drag them.”
The awkward and stuttering voice responded again.
After speaking, it walked directly into the distance, clearly not wanting to stay there any longer.
The other monster, after a moment’s thought, eventually followed suit.
The sound of footsteps faded away again.
After a while, the young man who had forcibly suppressed his emotions for so long could no longer bear it and rushed directly from his hiding place.
His legs, which had been soaked in muddy water for too long, seemed unable to keep up with the young man’s movements for a moment, causing his entire body to lose balance and fall heavily into the mud.
However, this fall did not stop him.
He crawled, using both hands and feet, to his parents’ corpses, tightly embraced their cold bodies, and then painfully closed his eyes.
“Papa, Mama…”
Looking at the figure kneeling in the muddy water, the other young man still hiding in the shadows sighed.
“Let’s go out too.”
As he spoke, one figure after another laboriously climbed out from below.
Then, looking at the tribal camp, which had been massacred by monsters, sadness filled each of their faces.
No one had expected such a large group of monsters to appear out of nowhere after nightfall, almost completely wiping out everyone in their tribe.
Now, with their homes destroyed and no place to return to, they also lost their direction at this moment.
Unsure of what to do, they all turned their gaze towards the leading young man.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd behind him, the initially bewildered young man’s expression gradually grew resolute at that moment.
“We’ll head towards Stone City and find the humans living there! Only they can probably deal with monsters like these.”
As the young man spoke, a faint green light gradually glowed in the darkness outside the camp.
The moment his eyes caught that light, the leading young man’s heart almost stopped. He then shouted, “Run, run fast!!”
A desperate escape, a chase of life and death.
Hearing the continuous screams from behind, the young man dared not look back.
He feared that looking back would reveal a hellish scene, so he ran, ran desperately!
His familiarity with the forest allowed him to run quickly even in the dark, relying only on the faint moonlight.
The young man didn’t know how long he had run.
Initially, he could feel the pain as his feet were pierced by something on the ground, but now, he had completely lost sensation.
“Can’t stop, can’t stop! I can’t stop!”
Gritting his teeth, the young man spoke wildly in his heart.
The faint heavy breathing from behind clearly told him that the monsters were still chasing him.
If he stopped, it would be a dead end.
So, even if his legs were to give out, he had to keep running!
Until a distant flickering light entered his vision.
That flickering light, representing hope, burned in the distance, bringing some life to the young man’s pale face.
Then, with his slightly unrefined words and a hoarse voice, he shouted loudly.
“Help! Help me!!”
At this moment, a soldier standing guard on the White River City wall frowned slightly and asked another soldier beside him.
“Did you hear someone shouting for help?”
“Help?”
The other soldier oddly scratched his ear.
“Was it the wind?”
“No!”
Stretching his neck, the soldier suddenly spotted a few green lights in the darkness and then cried out in alarm.
“There’s something outside the city, and they seem to be chasing someone!”
After speaking, as if remembering something, the soldier urgently shouted again.
“Ring the alarm bell! Throw out some torches!!”
The alert soldiers on duty quickly sprang into action.
A dozen torches were successively flung from the city wall, and the flares finally illuminated the dark night sky outside the city somewhat.
It was also at this moment that the soldiers finally clearly saw the situation outside the city.
“It’s beastmen! A group of beastmen are chasing a young man!!”
