The subtle sound was like the sound of a big mouth chewing, or the sucking sound of bones and marrow being sucked out.
Together with the bloody stench that assaulted their nostrils, the noises sent goosebumps down their spines.
The big guy was wriggling its body anxiously.
It had lost its intellect, but it had an extraordinary body and intuition.
He signaled to the others about the danger ahead.
Kieran listened attentively for a while, but he was still not sure what it was. He signaled Pierre, and after Pierre led Herbert and the big guy out of the alleyway, Kieran stuck close to the shadow of the wall and quietly made his way around the corner.
The closer he got, the clearer the noises became, and the stronger the bloody stench became.
When the bloody stench reached a certain level, the already pungent bloody stench became even more pungent.
It was like hundreds of rotten fish being stored in a sealed space for a few months and then thrown into it.
The first thing Kieran did was hold his breath.
Although he was sure that the stench was not poisonous, the stench itself was scarier than the poison itself in Kieran's eyes.
Standing at the edge of the corner, Kieran carefully poked his head out.
When Kieran got a clear look at the scene before him, he was stunned.
Countless skeletons, with only their bones and bits of flesh, were piled up in the pit with a radius of more than 50 meters. Dozens of coyote-like creatures were curled up on top of them, feasting on them.
The moment Kieran saw the bloody skeletons, he thought of the missing people in the gold diggers' campsite.
When he saw some pickaxes and ropes beside the pit, he was even more certain of his guess.
Gasp!
Kieran gasped in his heart.
When everyone in the gold diggers' campsite had gone missing, Kieran had a bad feeling about it.
However, it was a different story when he actually saw it.
Especially when he thought about the slaughterhouse he had seen in the room of the chief officer's spy in Herl City, a scary yet real thought popped up in his mind.
The Night Monsters ate humans!
In the slaughterhouse, when Kieran saw that there were only bones and minced meat left, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
However, the battle that suddenly appeared later attracted all of his attention and made him instinctively think that it was also part of the trap.
However, when Kieran saw the blood-colored skeletons all over the place, he had a question in his heart again.
Where did the flesh on the corpses of those who died go?
Other than eating, Kieran couldn't think of anything else.
Hu!
Kieran exhaled a heavy breath of foul air.
Now, he understood why the Neegor Dynasty wanted to exterminate the Night Race.
At first, he thought that the Night Monsters were just using their special characteristics to do things that went against the will of their rulers.
But now it seemed …
The relationship between the Night Race and humans was that of predator and prey.
In this kind of complete opposition, there was no other possibility other than the complete destruction of one side.
Wu wu!
Low growls came from the throats of a dozen coyotes. Their eyes, which were glowing with a dark green light even in the daytime, were filled with the desire for fresh meat.
He had been devouring human flesh and blood for several days now.
It made the coyote pack different from the others.
They were even more aggressive towards humans than before.
As the leader let out a long growl, the strongest coyotes dashed towards Kieran.
Fuuu!
A strong wind with a foul stench assaulted Kieran's expressionless face.
Even though he knew that the devouring was the rule of nature, when he saw the coyotes devouring human corpses, Kieran still felt uneasy and strangely angry.
Especially when the coyotes jumped towards him, the burning anger turned into a cold killing intent.
The [Infantry Spear] was thrown out by Kieran like a stick.
Bang!
The strongest coyote that jumped towards Kieran was smashed in the head, its brains splattering everywhere. Kieran then swung the [Infantry Spear] left and right. Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The coyotes were sent flying away, their bones broken and tendons torn.
Even the leader was no exception.
Although it looked bigger and stronger than the other coyotes, it was useless against Kieran's spear that was infused with tremendous Strength.
After another shot on each of the coyotes and making sure they were all dead, Kieran sent a signal behind him that it was safe.
Herbert, Pierre and the big guy quickly walked over to them.
When they saw the scene before them, their faces turned pale.
Even the big guy, who wasn't that smart, showed a sense of rage on his face.
It was the rage of helplessness when their own kind was trampled by another species.
It was much purer and more direct than Kieran's rage before.
"Ugh, Ugh Ugh!"
The big guy whimpered at Herbert.
The big guy spoke too fast, he couldn't even pronounce his words properly, and now the words he spoke were even harder to understand.
Herbert comforted the big guy and then looked at Pierre.
"Pierre, go to the gold digger camp and get some oil …
No matter what happened to them when they were alive, they shouldn't have to suffer like this after they die. "
Herbert said.
"Okay!"
Pierre nodded, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the gold digger camp.
Herbert turned around and looked at the deep pit filled with skeletons in silence.
After half a minute, Herbert let out a heavy sigh.
"Do the Night Monsters eat humans?"
Herbert sounded like he was asking, but he also sounded like he was talking to himself.
"Yes.
Not only do they eat humans, but they also have a special way of eating them!
"Even if it's a thousand pigs, it would take a lot of effort for them to kill them one by one, let alone a thousand people. Perhaps these people would retreat in the face of ordinary threats, but how could they not fight back when their lives are threatened?"
Kieran said slowly as he stood beside Herbert.
Then he took a deep breath.
"Herbert, have you ever wondered why the Night Monsters were so confident that you could find that 'weapon'?
Before this, I thought they had set up an inescapable net!
"However, after seeing the scene before me, I have some other guesses …"
Unconsciously, Kieran's expression turned ugly.
Herbert's expression turned ugly as well.
However, he signaled Kieran to continue.
"They're controlling these people!
"Through medicine, magic, or some unknown method!"
Regardless of which one it is, it's telling us how powerful they are! "
Kieran voiced his speculation.
"Yes, the corpses in front of us were deliberately placed here by them. They are giving us a warning, they want us to submit!"
It's like some beasts purposely hanging the remains of their prey in their territory to show how powerful they are!
But … "
"Will you submit to them?"
Herbert looked at Kieran.
Kieran smiled.
"How is this possible?"
He said.
PS: First update ~
Kieran came back later than expected.
His friend's dog had gone missing, so Decadent had helped him find it and only returned in the afternoon.
This was the first update, and Decadent was typing the second.
