"What on earth was that?" Calix Stone couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s a Krenth. Judging by its size, it shouldn’t be mutated.
He was probably just unlucky,"
Veronica Ziegler replied with a regretful look.
Krenth?
After hearing Veronica Ziegler’s words, the crowd relaxed a little.
It wasn’t a zombie animal, and it wasn’t mutated. Maybe what just happened really was an accident.
But Nina Jacobs sensed a trace of danger.
As she walked, she told the three of them,
"If you want to live, find a chance to leave first. The area ahead isn’t somewhere you can handle."
She thought what Sebastian Lynch had said was likely true.
If these Weasels reproduced quickly, there must be a large number of them nearby.
No wonder she’d been hearing a constant rustling sound for a while now.
Although Ian Nash and the other two were surprised, they took her words to heart.
’If Summer Warner said so, she must have her reasons.’
The group continued walking along the uneven, rocky slope.
"Mr. Lewis, since we’ve already gotten the supplies, why don’t we just head back now?"
Someone was already having second thoughts.
"This little thing scared you that badly?
There’s real treasure here. Don’t you want to grab some and sell it for a fortune later?"
Ian Logan grabbed a few of them and whispered.
That Bishop Clan Member, Nathan Moreau, had said that a large amount of that stone would appear here.
’We’ve already reached our destination. How can we leave so easily?’
"Yeah, if we just sneak a few pieces when they’re not looking, we might be set for life."
Jason Miller, who was with Ian Logan, also had a greedy look on his face.
The reason they’d willingly been hired wasn’t just for the supplies; they also wanted to take the opportunity to skim something off the top.
So many people had died looking for it, which meant the value of that stone was only rising.
Just as Jason Miller was about to say something more, he felt something on his back.
The thing quickly scurried up to the top of his head.
Ian Logan and the others’ eyes went wide, and they hurriedly scrambled back to get away.
"It’s—it’s that thing from before!"
A man nearby shouted, pointing at the top of Jason Miller’s head.
"Help me! Someone get it off—"
Jason Miller felt a sharp pain on his scalp. His eyes rolled back into his head, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.
"AHH!!"
"There’s another one here!"
Screams rang out one after another, accompanied by the clash of Superpowers.
"So many! There are so many over here!"
"Over here, too!"
Ian Logan whipped his head from side to side, discovering that they had, at some point, been surrounded by a dense swarm of weasel-like creatures.
The screams were endless.
"Defend! Form a defense now!"
Calix Stone yelled.
In just a moment, dozens of people had been struck.
Although Alistair White and his people’s attacks were precise, they were no match for the sheer number of these creatures.
Nina Jacobs swiftly conjured a Diamond Sand Wall to block the way.
"There are actually this many?"
Magnus York’s expression was unreadable.
She stood behind Summer Warner, watching Alistair White’s people get pounced on and bitten one by one, a smug smile touching her lips.
She had no intention of lifting a finger.
’Numbers really are useless compared to winning over one expert.’
"Those three ran off."
Leo Flynn noticed that Lily Dalton and the other two had used the chaos to run down the slope in another direction.
"I told them to go,"
Summer Warner said.
"Then let them go. They’re smart, at least."
Magnus York didn’t want to get on Summer Warner’s bad side right now. With Summer Warner and Wayne Warner around, they had no reason to fear any Mutated Animals.
