Looking at the worried captain, the surrounding teammates felt heavy-hearted. They felt that the situation was getting more and more troublesome.
When the Blood Sea Stronghold first appeared, there were not so many Blood Beasts. There were not even Invisible Blood Beasts.
However, as time passed, the number of Blood Beasts gradually increased. Their strength grew stronger and stronger, and the number of Blood Beasts had expanded to ten areas.
As the number of Blood Beasts continued to increase, they also caused the area to become more and more dangerous. They attacked many civilians, and the military had no choice but to station troops and gather experts to kill them.
After a round of slaughter, the growth rate of the Blood Beasts slowed down, but it was still in a state of slow growth. Every time the Blood Sea erupted, there would be a large number of Blood Beasts.
Among them, the Invisible Blood Beasts were the most troublesome problem. They occupied Areas 1-5.
If they did not move, no one would be able to find them. This also made them the most difficult Blood Beasts to kill.
If it were not for the fact that these Blood Beasts were very dependent on the Blood Sea and did not want to go too far away, they might have already killed their way into the human cities.
Since the Blood Sea had erupted once again, the number of Blood Beasts had once again increased. It was like a shadow that shrouded everyone’s hearts, making everyone’s expressions ugly.
With a heavy heart, everyone continued to set off toward Blood Sea Area 6.
Not long after, they finally stopped at the outer perimeter of Area 6, which was filled with craggy rocks.
“Eh? Why aren’t there any low-level Blood Beasts at the outer perimeter? Logically, with the increase in Invisible Blood Beasts, low-level Blood Beasts would be chased to the outer perimeter, but why aren’t there any here?”
The team captain looked at the outer perimeter of Area 6 in shock. He could not believe that there were no Blood Beasts here.
“Could it be Captain Baldy and the others killed all the low-level Blood Beasts? Their team is still very strong,” the vice-captain guessed.
“Yes, it’s very likely to be them. I didn’t expect them to be not bad. They actually killed all the low-level Blood Beasts in the periphery. I thought they were obstructed in their hunting.”
The captain smiled and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
“Captain, should we go in and take a look? To check out the situation inside?” the vice-captain asked.
“Of course. As one of the three great Perceptors, my detection ability is not weaker than Lu Bin’s, and my strength far surpasses his. There’s no need to worry about safety when we go in to investigate.”
“However, you guys don’t have to go. I’ll go alone. Your strength is too weak. If we’re only investigating, you’ll only be a hindrance.”
The captain said seriously and arranged everything. Then, he turned around and rushed to Area 6.
The rest of them stood outside vigilantly, ready to help the captain at any time.
However…
The captain had gone for more than 50 minutes. After such a long time, everyone was getting anxious.
Under normal circumstances, half an hour was more than enough to go in and investigate. However, this time, he had gone for more than 50 minutes. This made everyone more and more worried.
“It’s been so long, and the head captain is still not back. Could something have happened? Why don’t we go in and take a look?” someone said worriedly.
“This…”
The vice-captain’s brows were tightly knitted. He also wanted to go in and take a look. However, these subordinates were a little weak, and there was a high chance that they would be injured if they went in.
As the vice-captain, he had the responsibility to protect his teammates. The main point was that the captain had given an order not to allow them to go in.
If they forced their way in, it would be disobeying the order and they would be punished.
Therefore, the worried vice-captain took a deep breath and said solemnly, “No, we can’t go in. We can’t disobey the order.”
“But what if something happens to the captain and he needs help? If we don’t go, wouldn’t we be harming the captain?” someone said again.
“That won’t do either. This is an army. We have to obey the order. None of you can go,” the vice-captain said loudly.
“But the safety of the captain…”
The teammates were still thinking about something, but seeing the vice-captain suddenly arranging his weapons and equipment, everyone was puzzled. “Vice-captain, what are you doing?”
“Although I can’t let you in, I can go in. No matter what, he is my captain. How can I watch him get into danger? As for the punishment for disobeying orders, I can bear it myself.”
The vice-captain smiled and strode into the inner area of Area 6 with his saber in hand without the slightest hesitation.
This kind of performance made everyone speechless. They could only watch the vice-captain’s thin figure gradually disappear under the sunlight.
However, at this moment, a figure walked out from the inner area of Area 6, walking forward in a daze.
Everyone looked and saw that it was their captain.
“Great captain, you’re finally out.” The vice-captain hurriedly said.
“Great captain, are you alright? Why did you take so long?” Everyone quickly ran over and surrounded the great captain to ask.
“How did this happen? How did this happen?”
The great captain kept on mumbling and talking like a fool. He was obviously affected.
“Great captain, what happened to you? What happened?”
Seeing that the great captain was in a bad situation, everyone immediately took the initiative to ask. At the same time, they looked in the direction of Area 6 to prevent an attack.
“No need to be vigilant. It’s meaningless.” The great captain shook his head. His eyes were still filled with shock.
“Meaningless? What do you mean?” The vice-captain looked at the great captain in confusion.
“It’s very simple. The Blood Beasts in Area 6 seem to have vanished from the face of the Earth. I’ve been in there for so long, but I haven’t found a single Blood Beast,” the great captain said solemnly.
“You haven’t seen a single Blood Beast? It can’t be. Is it because the Blood Beasts are invisible? Are they all hiding?” the vice-captain asked suspiciously.
“I’m a Perceptor. Although I can’t see the Invisible Blood Beasts, I can detect them with a slight movement. Moreover, the Blood Beasts are very cruel and murderous.”
“If they see a weak human, they will definitely attack. Especially if it’s a human, the probability of an attack is even higher.”
“But I’ve been in there for so long, and not a single Blood Beast attacked me. I’ve even thrown away my weapons and armor and crawled on the ground, yet the Blood Beasts didn’t attack me.”
“This situation can only mean one thing. The number of Blood Beasts has greatly decreased. There’s not even a single one left,” the great captain said seriously.
“No… that can’t be, right? That’s the Invisible Blood Beasts we’re talking about. It’s a thorny problem that even a Silver Rank expert can’t solve. How could they have disappeared?” the vice-captain said in disbelief.
“You don’t believe me? Alright then, let’s sleep in Area 6 tonight and verify it properly. Come, follow me in.” After saying that, the great captain directly walked forward and headed straight for the center of Area 6.
“This…”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment before following him in suspiciously.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the second day arrived.
Early in the morning, the sun was bright and beautiful, the birds were chirping and the flowers were fragrant.
On a large rock in the center of Blood Sea Area 6, a team of patrolling soldiers slowly opened their eyes.
The blue sky, white clouds, rocks, green grass, everything was so quiet and peaceful.
The Blood Beasts that used to be so bloody and cruel had all disappeared. They did not come out for a whole night.. There was not even a strange sound.
