Wild winds howled. The grasslands were no longer peaceful today. The warriors of various races who lived in Caldera gathered in front of the giant abyss. Many of them had never fought the Hybrid Demons before, and some of them had just come of age.
However, they wouldn't back down. This was the greatest crisis Caldera had ever faced.
"The Hybrid Demon army has broken through the third line of defense. The last seven camps on the second level have been completely lost. More than one hundred and thirty hunters have gone missing. The death toll is over four hundred."
"The Stairway to Heaven has sealed off all entrances. They're prepared to defend the entrances to the death."
"Is there any news about the Hybrid Demons? We need to know more about them! "
"No! None of the hunters who went to investigate were spared. The enemy knows everything about our movements! "
Every level of the Wind Catcher Tower was in an uproar. Countless pieces of information and news of deaths were sent in. The Hybrid Demons' attack was swift and unstoppable. They had taken away all the control Caldera had gained over the past few hundred years.
Just as everyone was at a loss, the door suddenly opened with a bang.
Everyone turned their heads to see an old man with a black crow perched on his shoulder. Everyone saw hope the moment they saw the old man. They were the elders of the highest level. They had finally returned.
"Everyone! The good news is that just now, the Prophet predicted our victory! "
First Elder Qiu Zhong's words immediately caused the anxious crowd to sigh in relief. A hopeful smile appeared on their tense faces.
However, the first elder continued with a serious expression, "But we can't relax now! What we need to do now is to do our best and fulfill the Prophet's prophecy according to his instructions! "
"Yes! First Elder! "
Everyone shouted in unison. After this resounding shout, everyone continued to work hard. The first elder turned his head to look at the other elders.
"We can't just stand here. Mobilize everyone who can fight. When will the divine bow arrive?"
At this moment, an elder wearing a long black robe with a black moon drawn on it stepped forward.
"Tomorrow morning. We need to perform a ceremony to borrow the divine bow. If there's no moon tonight, we might have to wait until tomorrow night."
The elder who answered was different from the other clan heads. He was a clan head sent by the Moon God Sect. He was in charge of worship and other religious activities in the hive. Many hunters who lived with death needed this kind of faith. Thus, the Moon God Sect's influence.
"Look at the situation now, and you're still stubbornly defending this kind of thing! I must see Godly Bow tomorrow! "
This was the first time anyone had seen the first elder roar. The Moon God Sect elder froze for a moment, but didn't dare say anything. She simply nodded. He then left the Windcatcher Tower, and the elders returned to their positions. Only Hailig was left standing at the door, not knowing what to do.
Until the Great Elder arrived in front of him.
"We will send a team to look for the white-haired girl tomorrow. You know her, do you know where she is?"
Heilig took a deep breath and was stunned for a moment. He quickly took out his old map and pointed at a gray dot.
"We separated at this camp. Reina … She has been moving towards the entrance of the Heart of Distortion. In five days, with her speed, she should be around here."
As he analyzed, he pointed at the map.
The Great Clan Elder nodded and said, "Very good. When the divine bow arrives tomorrow, you will lead the team to look for that girl."
He then raised his hand and patted Hailig's shoulder, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't in the end.
He went back. Hailig looked at the old man's back. He was a little hunchbacked, skinny, and had a large crow perched on his shoulder. For some reason, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The wait was very long. Every time Hailig thought of his countless companions fighting on the frontlines, he couldn't sit still.
He was currently in a room in the Hive, called the Hive, according to the Great Elder's arrangements.
Of course, he wasn't the only one. There were four others, all of them Guardian Bees. The brawny boar with two axes on his back was ranked second. He was known as the Axe King, Yoken. He used to be a tyrannical fanatic, but was now a devout follower of the Moon God Sect. He sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing an animal skin coat embroidered with the image of the moon.
Next was the fifth ranked beauty, Sia. She was very small in stature, with two small horns on her head that didn't have any offensive power. She looked harmless. However, she couldn't be underestimated because of that. She had inherited the shaman arts of the Goat Tribe. She was an expert in poison magic and the Goat Tribe's unique healing magic. It was said that the witches of the Goat Tribe could use magic to bewitch their enemies and turn them into fearsome death puppets.
Next was the ninth ranked Wind Crane. It was one of the very few flying demons. It was a bird-type demon with a large rain hat and black and white feathered wings on its hands.
Finally, there was a Drakonid girl. Her arms were crossed and her eyes were closed. She looked very unapproachable.
She was the fourteenth ranked Buxi. Hailig didn't know much about her. After all, most people only paid attention to the top ten.
Including Hailig, there were now five people in this special mission. Great Elder Qiu Zhong had said that there wouldn't be many people on this mission. There would only be a few of them. Although that was the case, Hailig still didn't have much confidence. After all, the second floor was filled with danger. Moreover, it was now occupied by the terrifying Hybrid Demon army. It was hard to guarantee that they could complete the mission with just the few of them.
However, he learned from these people that there was another person who went to the second floor to look for Reina, but he hadn't come yet.
The room was very quiet. No one was talking. Even the Bee Guardians rarely talked to each other. Their relationship didn't seem to be as good as that between hunters. After all, even if hunters didn't know each other, they could still talk about a lot of things.
After a long wait, when it was almost time for dinner, the door suddenly opened. An unexpected person appeared.
"Great Elder?"
Hailig was stunned. Could it be that the last person was the Great Elder? He was also going to the second floor?
Although the Great Elder's magic was very powerful, he was already old and couldn't take on such a high-intensity mission.
At this moment, he suddenly took a step back. A person wearing a white mask appeared behind him. This person gave Hailig a very different feeling. Unlike the other Bee Guardians, Hailig didn't feel angry. Instead, he felt that this person was very easy to get along with.
"Let me introduce you. This is the captain of this mission, Faceless."
"Faceless?!"
"Number one?"
The other Bee Guardians suddenly let out a surprised cry and looked over with their eyes wide open.
Faceless was the number one Bee Guardian. But strangely, no one had ever seen this person in the hive.
