"Wait."
Luna raised her hand as they were about 35 miles away from the wasteland.
Everyone's heart trembled, and they stopped in their tracks. Ian turned his head to look at her with a serious expression. He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"There is a smell of blood." Luna gently sniffed and frowned: "It's coming from the ten o 'clock direction. It should be the smell of human blood."
"Human blood?" Everyone was shocked.
Eugene whispered: "Is there another team in front?"
"It's possible." Ian's eyes lit up. He looked at Luna: "Can you smell the smell of a monster?"
"There is a damp and fishy smell. It should be left by a monster." Luna said.
Ian pondered for a moment: "Let's go and take a look."
Everyone looked at each other but no one objected. They controlled their footsteps and sneaked towards the place that Luna had pointed out.
Dean used thermal vision to carefully observe the surroundings. In addition to some mice and small monsters in the ruins, he didn't see any high level monsters with dazzling heat.
They arrived at the place that Luna had pointed out after more than ten minutes. It was a wide square. Several towering buildings had collapsed and only half of them were left standing. The windows of the buildings were broken and the concrete had faded. It looked like a shriveled skeleton.
The place where the smell of blood came from was an open space on the side of the square. Everyone confirmed that the surrounding environment was safe. They quietly approached the place. They saw a young man lying on the ground. He was wearing the basic armor of the Dragon Guards. Only the lower half of his head was left. His eyes were gone from the nose bridge. His brain was scattered on the ground. There was a huge wound on his chest.
Everyone's face slightly changed as they saw the tragic scene.
Dean frowned. From the color of the blood and the softness of the brain, it could be seen that the person had died less than half an hour ago. In other words, he had died twenty minutes ago.
He quickly looked around and immediately saw a few sharp claw marks on the ground. In addition, a few moss-covered cars had been overturned, and some had crashed into the walls of the square, leaving a few wet tire marks on the ground.
Martin suddenly squatted down and looked at the dragon tattoo on the man's arm. He tore it open and saw the name embroidered on the back of the dragon tattoo. His expression changed and he whispered, "It's Tommy, the Quick Blade of the Fifth Squad."
Ruby was surprised. "Tommy? How was this possible? He actually died here? This is not the barren area! "
Ian looked at the body for a while and then looked around. His eyes were vigilant and solemn. He said in a low voice, "He must have been chased by something from the wasteland. He couldn't shake it off, so he was killed."
Luna looked at Dudian: "Did you see anything?"
"No." Dudian replied.
Luna said to Ian: "We can't stay here for long. We have to leave immediately."
Ian nodded and looked at the corpse on the ground. He sighed and said: "Mary, burn his body. Don't leave it to those filthy monsters."
"Yes." Rosemary took out kerosene from her pocket and was ready to light it. Dudian quickly said: "Don't."
The others looked at him.
Dudian said: "He died not long ago so the monster shouldn't have gone far. If it is a cold-blooded monster then I'm afraid that it will be stimulated if we light a fire here."
Rosemary's face turned cold: "There are seven of us here. Even if it appears we can deal with it. Moreover we can help Tommy to get revenge. What are you afraid of?"
Eugene said: "I think Dudian's words are reasonable. Although we can deal with the monster but shouldn't we save our physical strength? Isn't it not cost-effective to waste our physical strength for such a thing?"
Rosemary opened her mouth to speak but Ian raised his hand to stop her. There was a trace of complex color in his eyes: "Dudian is right. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go."
Rosemary was startled as she looked at the corpse on the ground. She put away the kerosene in her hand and left with the team.
Not long after the crowd left, two dark red lights slowly appeared in the shadow of a dilapidated building.

"The monster didn't eat Tommy, it just killed him. Tommy must have angered it, so it killed him to vent its anger," Martin analyzed to Ian in a low voice as they moved forward. His words were also heard by the rest of the team.
Ian nodded with a serious look in his eyes. "Generally, high-level demonic creatures are territorial and won't easily stray too far from their territory. However, this demonic creature chased him all the way here. This is very scary!"
"Yes." Martin narrowed his eyes: "It should be a monster that specializes in hunting other monsters. It has a weak territorial nature. Wherever there is food, that is its territory."
"I hope we won't meet it." Ian looked back at Dudian: "Fortunately, you reacted quickly. Otherwise we would have gotten into unnecessary trouble. Our losses would be very big."
Dudian smiled as he saw Ian praise him. But his mood was dignified. He noticed that the impact of the battle wasn't big. It showed that the battle ended quickly. It showed that the monster that killed Tommy had the absolute power to crush Tommy. But it let Tommy run out of the wasteland. It was very unusual. Dudian could only think of one possibility. That was that the monster used Tommy as a bait.
During the chase, they wanted him to escape back to his territory so that they could capture him in one fell swoop!
If that was the case then it showed that the monster's IQ was very high!
The only advantage that humans had over monsters was wisdom. If the monster's wisdom wasn't inferior to humans then humans wouldn't have any capital to fight against monsters.
It didn't take long for the team to reach the wasteland.
Dean and Eugene wouldn't have known that they were in the wasteland if it wasn't for Ian's explanation. This wasteland was similar to the areas outside. It was still a desolate ruin, but it looked more dilapidated. Other than that, there was no difference. There were no boundaries or signs on the ground.
"There is the smell of worm powder here. The higher the level of the monster, the more afraid they are of the smell of worm powder." Ian explained to Dean and Eugene.
Dean had heard of the Godworm Powder before. He gently sniffed and smelled a strange smell floating in the air. At first, it was very stinky, but after a while, he felt that the stench slowly became fragrant. In the end, the more he smelled, the more comfortable he felt, as if the pores of his whole body were relaxing.
Suddenly he felt some creeping movement and coldness from his left shoulder. It seemed that the ice blood was flowing gently in his left shoulder.
