"A giant wolf?"

"The deputy captain had already reached the Great Circulation stage, ordinary spirits couldn't possibly kill him!"

"With two heads, it certainly can't be an ordinary wolf spirit; it must be a wolf demon!"

"If a wolf demon appears, the City Lord's Mansion must send Martial Artists. We're no match for it."

The Beast Hunter Guards in the camp were all shocked to hear of the deputy captain's death.

The Cai Feng Squad exchanged bewildered glances. Could the deputy captain have encountered the creature they had faced before?

The deputy captain and his entourage were dead, leaving the camp without official authority.

The Beast Hunting Camp was now in a state of lawlessness, without order or supervision.

A dangerous aura instantly permeated the air.

The Beast Hunter Guards unconsciously distanced themselves from one another, their eyes full of caution.

The peace in the Beast Hunting Guard Camp.

First relies on long-established conventions, second on the official forces' supervision and management.

Anyone who dares to fight in the camp would be hunted by the City Lord's Mansion and added to the Beast Hunting Bureau's blacklist.

But now, with the death of the camp's colonel, all these concerns clearly no longer existed.

"Someone needs to keep watch at night." Back in the tent, Shi Caifeng said.

"That's right, I suspect tonight won't be peaceful." Jiang Chenyu nodded.

The squad discussed among themselves.

Shi Caifeng and Jiang Chenyu would take the first watch, while Lou Yi and Yan Ze would take the second half.

Lou Yi lay on the wooden bed at the back of the tent, unable to sleep.

He glanced at the other beds.

He noticed Yan Ze, Gu Yu, Wang Long, and others were tossing and turning, also unable to sleep.

With such a major change in the camp, everyone was on edge, and anyone who could sleep peacefully was certainly carefree.

Just as Lou Yi thought this, he heard the sound of snoring.

At a time like this, only Shi Qingde could sleep in the squad.

It's hard to tell if he should be praised for his resolve or scolded for his nerves of steel.

'Bang bang bang!'

'Clap clap clap!'

Just when Lou Yi was beginning to feel a bit sleepy.

A few hundred meters outside the tent, intense fighting noises suddenly erupted.

At the same time, an angry voice sounded:

"Poison Snake, are you crazy!"

Hearing the commotion, everyone jumped out of bed and dashed outside the tent with a 'whoosh'.

A considerable crowd had already gathered to watch.

The conflict was between two Great Circulation Martial Artists.

One wore a green robe, hair half-gray, looking in his fifties or sixties, with a hint of an ethereal aura.

The other wore a black robe, around thirty, with blood-red eyes, a sinister gaze, resembling a Poison Snake.

The man in the black robe said in a sinister voice, "Li Laotou, last time on Tiandu Mountain, you left us to die, causing two of my squad to perish. Today, I'm settling scores and avenging my people!"

"Bullshit! Your people were chased by a Python Spirit. That Python Spirit is as strong as a Full Cycle. Wouldn't I be walking into a trap too?" The old man in green retorted angrily.

"Couldn't you have interfered from afar? You just wanted to watch my guys die!" The man in the black robe sneered, refusing to listen to any justification.

In a blink, their Blood Qi surged, and they were at it again.

Neither used weapons.

The old man in green's hand technique was exquisite, stable and seamless, almost without flaw.

The man in the black robe seemed to have mastered a Poison Technique, with long, sharp nails of a purplish-black hue, glimmering ominously.

'Bang bang bang!'

Sand and dust flew all around, with two wooden huts collapsing in the wake of their battle.

A Great Circulation Martial Artist commands a strength of four to five thousand pounds, destructive like a giant bear in human form.

The surrounding crowd hurriedly backed away, fearing collateral damage.

"That's Poison Snake from the Vengeance Squad, vindictive and petty, I don't like him much." Little Braids Yan Ze informed Lou Yi, "The other older one is Li Changqing from the Evergreen Squad, who has a good reputation."

Though Li Changqing had a good reputation, no one dared to step into this chaos.

However, Li Changqing, being older and more experienced.

Appeared to be gradually overpowering Poison Snake, forcing him to retreat step by step.

It was clear to the perceptive that Poison Snake's defeat was only a matter of time.

Suddenly.

'Swish!'

A mysterious black hidden weapon suddenly pierced the battlefield.

Its speed far surpassed that of normal arrows, hitting the unprepared Li Changqing squarely in the chest!

Li Changqing let out a scream, his stance faltering.

Seeing this, Poison Snake's eyes lit up.

His hands turned into claws, rapidly slashing forward, gouging a bloody hole in the opponent's throat, blood spurting out like a fountain.

Poor Li Changqing, who had roamed the martial world for decades, was tragically struck down today, dying on the spot!

Poison Snake laughed heartily, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on the rest of the Evergreen Squad.

"Kill them all for me!" he commanded his subordinates, determined to eradicate the threat completely.

"Run!"

"Poison Snake, this matter has nothing to do with us!"

The members of the Evergreen Squad fled or pleaded for their lives.

But Poison Snake was resolute, cold-blooded, and ruthless, determined to wipe out the entire squad.

Under his leadership, the remaining members of the Evergreen Squad were swiftly slaughtered, with no one escaping alive.

Poison Snake brazenly fired the first shot in the camp's massacre.

All the spectators couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable savagery within themselves.

Chaos, it seems, is contagious.

Soon, imitators appeared.

"Han Zhen, you ambushed me last time, today I'll settle the score!"

"Screw you, don't twist the truth, it was you who ambushed me!"

"Shen Jing, this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

"Kill, kill, kill, today it's either you or me who dies!"

The sound of blades clashing, fists colliding, hard objects shattering, and men and women screaming filled the air above the camp.

The Beast Hunter Guards, who had lived amidst slaughter for years, were full of pent-up aggression.

Normally, they were forcibly suppressed by the imperial court.

But today, with the deputy captain overseeing the camp dead, their aggression was like a flood let loose, with no restraints.

Affected by this, even those who didn't wish to harm others could only strike first.

Shi Caifeng and Lou Yi guarded the others in their squad, slowly retreating back to their tent.

"At dawn, we'll retreat," Shi Caifeng said, "We'll regroup after the beast horde ends."

No one objected to her decision.

At night, Shi Caifeng and Lou Yi, the two strongest, kept watch in front of the tent, preventing any troublemakers from approaching.

Fortunately, the Cai Feng Squad usually acted with principles, rarely making enemies, and Shi Caifeng's overt strength was formidable.

Thus, they remained undisturbed for half the night.

Listening to the screams echoing around, Lou Yi felt a stirring within.

"I'm going for a walk," he told Shi Caifeng.

Shi Caifeng was stunned: "Don't go too far."

She knew Lou Yi's exceptional strength, so she wasn't worried about his safety.

She was just afraid that if he left, their squad might encounter danger they couldn't handle.

"Don't worry, I won't leave the camp," Lou Yi said with a smile.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

He first arrived at Li Changqing's corpse.

From the disarray of his clothes, it was clear someone had searched him, but Lou Yi didn't care.

Bending down, he closed the unseeing eyes of the dead, and clasped his hands together: "In your next life, be an ordinary person."

At the same time, energy +4.

He then moved to the corpses of Li Changqing's teammates.

Their deaths were horrific, bodies incomplete, with entrails, flesh, and yellow-and-white matter scattered everywhere.

Lou Yi closed their eyes one by one.

The notifications of 'energy +2', 'energy +3' kept ringing.

Ordinary martial artist corpses could provide Lou Yi with two points of energy.

Minor Circulation martial artists could offer three points.

In a matter of moments, Lou Yi gathered twenty energy points.

While within the camp, the slaughter had only just begun, with people dying constantly.

Lou Yi approached a newly deceased male corpse.

Just as he was about to move closer, he noticed a Minor Circulation martial artist had also set sights on the corpse.

Scavenging corpses was low risk and high reward, who wouldn't want to do it?

Upon seeing Lou Yi, the person grew wary, drawing his sword in a standoff.

Lou Yi frowned, he had no time to waste here.

So, he unleashed his aura, rapidly circulating his Secret Blood, and shouted, "Scram!"

"A mere Two Blood dares to be so arrogant?"

The person sneered, swinging his sword furiously at Lou Yi.

With a 'puff puff' sound, he quickly fell as well.

Lou Yi tucked the axe back into his coat, a contemplative look in his eyes.
