Chapter 309


    It was exactly ten days since the monsters ughtered the entire Wellspring Vige.


    When Caspian and the others saw the ruins, they all fell silent.


    If it were not for the sudden attack of the monsters, the vige might be covered with fields where the


    men plowed, the women weaved, and the children yed.


    However, weeds grew on both sides of the trail, and the surroundings were silent Even after so many


    days, there was still a depressing pungent smell of blood in the air.


    “This is the first vige the monsters attacked.


    A survivor from this ce informed the division of our sect,” Maya exined, “It’s also because this is


    the first vige the monsters ughtered.


    Hence, when many disciples investigate, they’ll ignore this ce as many people believe that after so


    long, there’ll be no monsters here.”


    Maya was responsible for everyone’s routes at that time.


    Then, she turned around and reminded everyone, “However, there are tracks of monsters passing by


    recently.


    Hence, we must be extra careful.”


    “Okay.” Everyone nodded and spread out, looking for traces of monsters around the vige.


    Nheless, the four of them were not far from each other in case they discovered anything or were


    attacked, the rest of them could immediately rush over for rescue.


    When they separated, Caspian nced at Sna.


    Sna did not say anything but quietly followed them for the six days that they traveled here.


    However, Caspian could feel that Sna’s gaze was always on him from time to time.


    Whenever he looked at Sna, she would look away, and Caspian was also unaware of her intention.


    At times, Caspian could not help but doubt why Omar and Maya would include Sna in the mission.


    Just as Caspian thought about that, he quickly swept his gaze across the surroundings.


    The seemingly worthless traces all around are now reorganized in Caspian’s brain through his eyes.


    Then, the scene where the monsters ughtered the vige reyed in Caspian’s mind.


    At that time, Sna walked for a distance before arriving at a two-story house that was still considered


    intact, which was also the tallest building in the Wellspring Vige.


    Although it was missing a corner, it did not copse and still maintained its original appearance.


    The sunlight did not enter the house, causing the inside to be dark.


    A slightly unpleasant smell rushed out, and Sna could not tell if something rotted inside.


    Soon, Sna stopped in her tracks, and nced at Caspian from the corner of her eyes, wanting to


    know what he was doing.


    However, just as she was distracted, Sna suddenly felt a strong sense of danger surging in her.


    In that instant, Sna’s hair stood on ends, and she looked at the source of the danger.


    In the ruined home, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared out of the blue.


    The blood-red eyes were the size of an adult’s fist, and the pupils shrank violently as they stared


    straight at Sna.

    There was hatred and resentment in the eyes, and it was enough to scare someone to death.


    Sna was caught off guard and was also so frightened that she could not move her limbs.


    Then, the mud wall in front of her exploded with a loud bang, and a huge ck shadow with a strong


    smell of stench broke through the wall and pounced on her.


    She stared wide-eyed as the mouthful of sharp teeth rushed toward her.


    She could not control her body.


    It was as if she was glued to the ground.


    Then, in the blink of an eye, desperation filled her heart.


    Sna watched as the massive mouth got closer to her, and the surrounding light seemed to dim.


    Soon, Sna just closed her eyes as if she was just waiting for death.


    However, she heard an ear-piercing scream.


    “Watch out!”


    It was a familiar roar, which was soon followed by the sound of a fist punching through the air.


    “Eight-Shadowed Fists!”


    Bam!


    Sna heard the sound of flesh and bones being pierced, and she felt hot air current oing.


    Then, Sna opened her eyes and saw a terrifying monster staring at her.


    The head of the monster was less than a hand away from her face, but Caspian already punched it.


    Amidst the gurgling sound, the hot blood mixed with the brain fluid sted out from the monster’s head


    and trailed along with Caspian’s hand.


    After taking his hand out, Caspian shook his hand slightly to clear off the blood from his arm.


    Next, he looked at Sna and asked, “Are you alright?”


    Sna lowered her head.


    After pondering a while, she whispered, “I’m sorry…”


    At that time, Omar and Maya also rushed over after hearing themotion.


    When Omar saw the monster’s corpse on the floor and drenched in blood, his eyes lit up.


    “Monster!”


    However, he was not surprised at the monster’s level but the strength of Caspian’s punch.


    “Casper, if I’m not mistaken, your punch during the rankingpetition a few days ago was not as


    strong as this?” Omar sized Caspian up and down, and he smiled, “I heard you taught a few Dark


    Moon Sect’s disciples a lesson before that, and it seems like you’ve greatly benefited from it.”


    Omar’s guess was correct.


    The benefit that Caspian received was not only Joshua’s Purple Dragon King Ginseng.


    Caspian also took Terrence, Bob, and Gabriel’s storage bags.


    Nheless, Caspian just smiled and did not answer, and the people around him took it as


    acquiescence.


    Next second, Omar said, “Based on the mission’s requirement, we’ll only need to bring the monster’s


    demon core in his brain back.”


    Once those beasts reached the level of a monster, a demon core would condense in their brain.


    It was simr to a cultivator reaching Pulse Control Realm and condensing their meridians.


    However, the demon core was an actual item and could be dug out, but meridians could not.


    For the Heavenly Stars Sect’s mission, the demon core was the proof of them killing the monsters.


    As wild animals could not condense demon cores yet, the disciples would need to behead them as


    proof.


    Nheless, taking out the demon core for proof and not beheading the monster was to ensure the


    corpse waspletely intact.


    After all, some of those monsters’ fur was the material to make weapons.


    The more perfect it was, the better its sticity.


    Although Sna attracted the monster, Caspian killed it by himself.


    Hence, none of them would fight Caspian on that.


    Next, Caspian dug out the demon core from the monster’s brain and ced the entire corpse in his


    storage bag.


    Maya nced around and said, “This monster with the body of a goat and the face of a monkey is a


    Broken-Tooth Ape.


    However, the Broken-Tooth Ape never acts alone, and there’ll at least be a dozen of them.


    Thus, there must be other Broken-Tooth Apes around, so be extra alert!”


    As if to confirm Maya’s words, just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden ticking sound in the


    surrounding ruins and broken houses.


    Then, there was a whimper.


    The sound came with the wind, and none of them could tell its exact location.


    As if it were the cry of a ghost that haunted others’ lives, it sent chills down everyone’s spine even


    though it was still broad daylight.
