The Dark King - Chapter 520

Chapter 520

Luna raised her head when they were about 35 miles away from the orange wasteland .

Everyone stopped at the same time when she halted her movement . Ian turned towards Luna and whispered: “What?”

“Blood…” Luna gently sniffed the air . She wrinkled her eyebrows: “It floats from ten o’clock . It seems that it is human blood . ”

“Human blood?” The members of the team asked .

Eugene whispered: “Is there any team in front of us?”

“It’s possible . ” Ian thought a bit and asked Luna: “Can you identify the smell of the monster?”

“There is a taste of wet stench . . It should be left by the monster . ” Luna replied .

Ian pondered for a moment: “We will check it out . ”

All of them looked at each other . No one objected or complained so they quietly went towards the place where Luna referred to .

Dean used his thermal vision to carefully observe the surrounding places . There were small rats and small monsters in the ruins but he couldn’t detect heat of any high-level monster .

They reached the place Luna was talking about in ten minutes . The team had reached a wide square which was surrounded by several collapsed buildings . The windows of the buildings were broken while the concrete had faded too .

The source of the bloody smell was coming from the open space on the square . They confirmed that the environment was secure so they quietly reached the source of the smell . Dean saw a corpse of a youth wearing the basic dragon clan armor . The youth’s head was missing above the eyes . The brain was scattered on the ground while there was a huge wound on his chest .

Everyone’s face changed as they looked at the corpse .

Dean frowned as he looked at the wounds on the youth’s body . It seems that the youth was killed about 20 minutes ago . He quickly looked around and saw few sharp claw marks on the ground . Several cars that were covered with moss were over . Some of them had hit the walls by the square and left fresh tire marks .

Martin squatted down and tore apart the name plate on the youth’s arm . His face changed as he whispered: “It’s Tommy from the 5th team . ””

Ruby was surprised: “Tommy? How could he die in here? We are not even in wasteland!”

Ian looked at the corpse then turned around . He was wary as he whispered: “Monster should have followed him from wasteland and caught up with him in here . That’s why Tommy was killed in here . ”

Luna looked at Dean: “What do you see?”

“Nothing . ” Dean responded .

Luna looked at Ian: “We shouldn’t stay in here for long . We have to leave immediately . ”

Ian nodded as he looked at the corpse on the ground . He sighed: “Rosemary burn Tommy’s corpse so that its not left to those dirty monsters . ”

“Yes . ” Rosemary took out a small bottle of oil from her pocket and was about to ignite it when Dean quickly intervened: “Don’t . ”

The other looked at him .

Dean continued: “He died not so long ago . It means that the monsters isn’t far away . If the monster is a cold-blooded one then the fire will stimulate it and attract its attention . ”

“There are 7 of us in here . We can cope with the monster even if it appears and at the same time avenge Tommy! What are you afraid of?” Ruby was angered .

Eugene added: “Dean is being rational in here . Although we can deal with that monster but we will be spending energy for such thing . Is it worth it?”

Rosemary wanted to speak but Ian raised his hand to stop her . He added: “Dean is right . We can’t stay here for long . ”

Martin and others were startled as they heard Ian’s words . They looked around and Rosemary put away the small bottle of the oil . The team left the place .

Soon after the team left two dark red lights slowly emerged from the collapsed building .

…

…

“The monster kill Tommy but didn’t eat him . Most probably it killed Tommy to vent its anger . ” Martin whispered as he looked at Ian but everyone else heard his words too .

Ian nodded: “Generally, the high level monsters are territorial and won’t leave their territory that easy . It is a terrifying thing that the monster has chased Tommy to catch up with him in here . ”

“Yes . ” Martin narrowed his eyes: “It has to be a monster that hunts other monsters for food . So its territory is there where there is enough food . ”

“I hope we won’t meet it . ” Ian looked at Dean: “Fortunately, you responded quickly or else we would be facing unnecessary trouble . ”

Dean smiled as he saw Ian praise him . He had noticed that the battle hadn’t last long when they entered the square . It showed that the monster which killed Tommy had absolute strength over him . So it was very unusual for the monster to allow Tommy to ran out of the wasteland . Dean could only think of one possibility . The monster was using Tommy as a bait to catch something else .

Maybe the monster chased Tommy so that he could flee back to his own territory and the monster could sweep clean Tommy’s nest .

If the monster acted so then it meant that it had a very high wisdom!

The only advantage humanity had over monsters was wisdom . So when the monsters were able to overcome that advantage then the humanity would have any capital to confront monsters .

…

…

It didn’t take long for them to reach the wasteland .

Dean and Eugene wouldn’t know that they were facing wasteland if not for Ian . The deserted place was no different than the area outside the giant wall . There were desolate ruins all over the place . Moreover there were no boundaries or signs that showed they were entering the wasteland .

“There is a layer of worm powder in here . The more advanced the monster is the more afraid it will be of the smell of the worm powder . They won’t pass this place . ” Ian explained to Dean and Eugene .

Dean had heard about the worm powder previously . He gently sniffed to smell the strange taste floating in the air . At first it was a bit smelly but after a while he slowly felt the fragrance . After a while he got comfortable with the smell .

Suddenly, Dean felt coldness in his left shoulder . It was as if the icy blood on his left arm was flowing gently .
