Sob sob sob!
Soft sobs entered Kieran's ears along with the night breeze. Instantly, Spirit authentication after Spirit authentication popped up in Kieran's vision.
The monsters that were feasting on the bodies scattered in all directions the moment the sobs sounded.
Some managed to escape.
But most of them were spinning on the spot.
It seemed like these monsters didn't pass the Spirit authentication.
Then?
A figure in a broken mantle slowly walked out from the darkness with a baby skeleton in its arms. The sobs came from under the mantle.
The baby skeleton swayed left and right as the figure walked, giving out crunching noises.
When the figure walked past a monster that was feasting on the bodies, the monster was as big as a calf, black like a jackal, and had spikes all over its back.
Then, a translucent, faint white mist floated out from the monster's body and went into the baby skeleton's nostrils.
The turquoise soul fire shone in the deepest part of the baby skeleton's eye sockets.
Flickering, flickering.
Like a chewing mouth.
Pak!
The monster wobbled and fell to the ground, losing all signs of life in an instant. Its whole body turned into a pile of mud with a heavy fishy smell.
After that?
There were no exceptions.
Every single monster did the same.
After a dozen more piles of mud appeared on the ground, the figure with the baby skeleton didn't feel satisfied.
The sobs got louder and louder.
The soul fire on the baby skeleton grew brighter and brighter, looking like a torch in the darkness.
They were looking for more delicious food.
At the same time, something else was also looking for the same thing.
In the shadows, Kieran looked up to the left side of the sky and subtly glanced at the spot where the figure was standing.
The next moment …
Wung!
A violent wind blew. A black figure that blended into the dark sky swooped down from the sky.
A pair of wings with a wingspan of over 10 metres allowed the silhouette's speed to reach an extreme. Before the silhouette could even react, the silhouette was devoured by the huge mouth. However, just as the silhouette was about to soar into the sky …
Kaboom!
The ground trembled, several thick tentacles sprung out from the ground and dragged the black figure deep into the ground like a python.
Gak Tss, Gak Tss!
The crisp sound of chewing spread all around.
The monsters that had been feasting on the corpses at the beginning ran even faster and further away.
It also made the other monsters hidden in the ruins make the wisest choice.
In Kieran's perception, hundreds and thousands of auras, strong and weak, had left the area, as if they had completely acknowledged the underground monster's control over this area.
"A primitive hunting ground?"
A trace of seriousness flashed in Kieran's eyes.
The monsters underground were nothing to him.
But at the same time, the place he occupied was the most common street near the docks in Naveya.
There were dozens of such streets in the dock area of Naveya City, and it didn't even include the biggest street in the city.
More so, this place was just a remote dock district in Naveya City.
The bigger civilian district, the more prosperous wealthy district, the more refined council district, and the core temple district of Naveya, what would it look like?
Especially the temple district!
Although the temples had taken most of the items with them when they first evacuated, the hasty evacuation meant that they couldn't take everything with them.
The things they left behind would surely attract the attention of others, eyeing the temple like a tiger watching its prey.
However, the underground monster before his eyes didn't head towards the temple, it didn't even have the intention to move its body. It was enough to tell Kieran that within two days, the core area of Naveya City had been divided up.
"Too bad."
Kieran glanced over the temple district that was shrouded in darkness with a slightly regretful gaze. After he got his bearings, he blended into the night.
If he had enough time, Kieran wouldn't mind heading to the temple district for an investigation.
Whether it was the leftover items from the temples or the temples that were occupied by monsters, they were all quite valuable to Kieran.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time, he had to race against time to catch up to the retreating group.
Naveya City had been occupied by monsters.
One thing that Kieran was sure of was that it wasn't all the monsters.
The people who evacuated before this, whether it was themselves or the precious items they brought with them, were enough to attract a lot of monsters to chase after them.
There were also the 'followers' that mixed in with the retreating group!
The latter would cause far more destruction than the former.
As for the Devourer?
Kieran believed once the Devourer appeared again, the retreating group would suffer a devastating blow, just like what happened to Naveya City.
It was something that Kieran didn't wish to see.
He had too many things to understand.
"Hope it won't be the worst!"
With such anticipation, Kieran raised his hand and [Dark Shadow Ride] appeared in front of him. The Origin Force that belonged to Chaos slightly trembled and the headlights of [Dark Shadow Ride] shone in scarlet red.
Dak Dak Dak!
[Dark Shadow Ride] transformed from a motorcycle frame into a black mechanical war horse and bent its front legs in front of Kieran.
This time, Kieran jumped on the horse without a second thought.
Neigh!
Neigh that sounded no different than a real war horse, [Dark Shadow Ride] carried Kieran into the darkness.
…
The messy and overstaffed convoy was moving slowly in the night.
The cold wind of the night blew on everyone's panicked face, even the officiants and archpriests of each temple were no exception.
This was because they had completely lost contact with their God two days ago.
No matter how they prayed, there wasn't a single response.
The only thing that kept them from collapsing was the prophecy that their God gave them before they left.
The prophecy became the last support for the officiants and archpriests.
"NO!
I don't agree!
We are going to the north! "
Edersen, the former senior officiant and the new Thorn Temple officiant, said in a firm and decisive manner while sitting in a spacious wagon.
Inside the slowly moving wagon, other than Thunder Temple, all the 'kindling' left behind by the other temples were still there.
Harvest, Mercy, Thorn, War, Valiance, Love, Hunter, Music, all 22 of them were the ones in charge of the convoy in name.
They were discussing their way forward.
"Our God told us to go south!"
Hunter Temple's archpriest said in a heavy and forceful tone.
"That's right!
We also got the same prophecy! "
"Yes!"
"Us too!"
…
Other than Love and Music Temple, Harvest, Mercy, War, and Valiance Temple, the other temples all voiced their opinions.
Even Love and Music Temple had a different opinion.
"Our God told us to go west!"
"And we must go without delay!"
Harvest, Mercy, War, and Valiance Temple's archpriests spoke.
"Our God told us to follow Thorn Temple!"
Love Temple's archpriest, Fanny, said.
"We also got the same prophecy!"
Music Temple's archpriest replied.
Then …
Everyone went silent.
They looked at each other.
Their faith in their God prevented them from making their own decisions.
Parting ways was inevitable.
However, the more troublesome matter had just begun.
KABOOM!
The sudden explosion caused the spacious carriage to tremble.
The faces of everyone in the carriage changed.
