The night was quiet.
Ian arranged Ruby and Dean to be on duty so that the others could have a good rest and restore their physical strength in order to be in the best condition for tomorrow's battle.
"Give me the signal immediately if you sense any monster approaching." Ruby said to Dean.
Dean nodded slightly. Both of them sat at opposite ends of the basement. They were always paying attention to the movements outside.
There was no bonfire in the dark basement as they didn't want the heat to attract the monsters.
Eugene, Ian and others were tightly wrapped in clothes. They were leaning against the wall and sleeping. They were holding weapons in their hands. It seemed that they would wake up at any time and enter the battle.
Dean maintained the thermal vision state. He was paying attention to the movements of the monsters outside. He was also paying attention to the physical state of Ian and others. He could see the blood flow in their bodies and the contraction of their hearts.
"I have to find a way to leave the team and find Sergei after the mission is completed …" Dean's eyes lit up as he secretly thought about the method.
The night was long.
From time to time low roars of beasts and roars of monsters echoed from the street above the basement. Every time there was a sound, Dean and Ruby's heart would tighten, and their whole body would tense up. They would relax a little after the sound disappeared.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
Dawn shined from the direction of the vents into the basement.
Ruby saw that the sky was bright so he woke up Ian and others. They had breakfast and packed up their things. Luna and Dean checked the movements outside to confirm that there were no monsters nearby. They quietly climbed out of the basement and went to the street outside.
"Let's go." Ian led the way.
Everyone pulled out their weapons and followed behind him.
He quietly walked along the street. Along the way, he saw some monster skeletons on the ground. In addition, he also encountered a pool of fresh blood. Dean recalled the roars of monsters he heard last night. He guessed that most of the blood was left from the battle at that time.
On the quiet and desolate street, a few corpses were staggering. When they heard the footsteps of the crowd, they immediately turned their heads and looked over. Their numb faces were full of blood, and suddenly they showed a hideous expression. They roared and rushed over.
"Xiao Du, you're in charge of cleaning up. Eugene needs to conserve his strength for the battle against the Silencers," Ian said.
Dean nodded and pulled a white bone from the wreckage of a monster on the ground. He rushed out of the team and killed several undeads. The bone spear easily penetrated their skulls. The disparity in physical strength allowed Dean to quickly end the battle without causing much movement.
After killing several undeads, Dean held the bone spear and continued to move forward. He didn't want to waste arrows in the face of monsters whose level was no more than 10. Although the arrows could be recovered, the sharpness would be worn out.
Along the way, they encountered some undeads along the way, as well as monsters that were the size of wolves but had the head of mice. They were all killed by Dean.
"It's strange that these weak zombies are still alive in a place with so many high-level monsters," Eugene muttered as he walked.
No one answered him. Ian and the others were vigilant. Although they had Luna and Dean, they didn't dare to take the situation lightly.
Dean's heart was moved as he heard Eugene's words. He thought about the undeads powder sold by the hunters in the giant wall. It could suppress the smell of the body and avoid the monsters' attacks. It seemed that only a small part of the monsters would attack the undeads. The rest of the monsters were indifferent to the undeads. Was it because of the small number of scavenging monsters?
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the foothills at the edge of the city.
There were many uneven pits on the road leading to the mountain. It seemed that they were pierced by blunt weapons. They looked like footprints but didn't have claws like footprints.
Ian glanced at them and said, "Prepare to enter the mountain. The Wind Listeners have very sensitive senses and can hear even the slightest movement. Everyone, put on your shoes and control your breathing. Breathe according to the Demon-Devouring Rat Breathing Technique of three shallow breaths and one deep breaths.
He took out the cloth that he had prepared from his backpack. He bent down and wrapped the alloy boots on his feet. It was a great extent of noise reduction.
As for the three shallow and one deep breathing method, it was a very common method of camouflage. It was specifically used to prevent the monsters with sensitive hearing.
Dean and others also finished their preparations after Ian was done. They adjusted their breathing and quietly went into the mountains.
A few hundred meters into the mountain, Dean saw a large number of red heat sources lurking in the deep grass of the mountain. But these heat sources weren't big, just some small monsters between level 3 to 18. They didn't pose a threat to the team.
Nevertheless, Dean gestured to signal them.
Ian nodded and continued to move forward.
The wet fog of the morning shrouded the mountain. Dean and the others entered the mountain. The fog blocked the road in front of the foothills and hid their figures.
They moved forward quietly.
Suddenly, Luna's face changed. She raised her hand and made a signal.
Roar!
At the same time as she gave the signal, a giant black shadow suddenly jumped out from the grass shrouded in a thin layer of mist, roaring and pouncing towards them.
Everyone was shocked.
Ian and Martin were the fastest to react.
Eugene was scared by the black shadow. His face turned pale as he instinctively retreated. He shrank into the team to get a sense of security.
With a clanging sound, sparks flew out from the friction. Yi En's sharp sword slashed the giant black shadow's body and blocked its pouncing momentum. However, he also swayed a little and staggered two steps back, almost falling down.
Martin immediately stood in front of him. His weapons were two black knives. He crossed them in front of him and stared at the black shadow. He didn't rush forward but waited for the team to adjust.
Rosemary and Ruby quickly stood in position. Ruby threw the huge baggage on her to the side, pulled out her battle axe and stood on guard. She looked nervous.
Dean was able to see the appearance of the black shadow. Its upper body was humanoid. It had a muscular chest but its head was like an eagle's. It didn't have eyes. Its lower body was like a snake's tail. It had two strong arms. There were several sharp flat spurs on the outside of its arms.
