The rustling of grass and leaves can be heard in the forest.
Soldiers from the Western Qin Kingdom, having crossed mountains to infiltrate the Heavenly Origin, are swiftly moving through the forest.
Upon detecting the tracks of the Heavenly Origin Kingdom’s soldiers, the leading general realizes their opportunity has arrived.
As long as they deal with this batch of Heavenly Origin soldiers in secret and don their uniforms, they could seamlessly infiltrate the Heavenly Origin camp and create an opening from within for Western Qin!
However, their plan was flawless; just as they were secretly maneuvering to surround the elite Heavenly Origin soldiers in a semicircular formation, the seemingly unprepared soldiers of Heavenly Origin suddenly sprang into action.
Simultaneously, Heavenly Origin soldiers appeared, stealthily behind the Western Qin troops.
With attacks on both sides, it wasn’t long before the soldiers of Western Qin who had painstakingly traversed mountains to infiltrate the Heavenly Origin realm were completely annihilated.
Having swiftly resolved the battle, Scarlett Jennings’ side naturally did not falter.
Without leverage to hold over Scarlett Jennings, Matthew was naturally captured and taken away by Scarlett Jennings.
As for why he was taken instead of dealt with on the spot, naturally it was because he was useful.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers made smooth progress; Damian Carlson and Althea’s sides were also no exception.
Similar to Scarlett Jennings’ situation, after controlling the battlefield on both sides, Damian Carlson and Althea directly eradicated the other two fierce beasts that incited the war spirit.
Although the fierce beasts were eliminated, the war between the two countries didn’t abruptly cease.
Heavenly Origin Kingdom was ablaze with war on all fronts, and the people lived in fear, unable to rest easy. Thus, the true calamity of Heavenly Origin finally descended.
On the seventh day after bringing Matthew and the Western Qin captives back to camp.
Scarlett Jennings was in her tent, lighting a lamp to draw talismans.
Right at the center of her tent was Matthew, trapped in a large cage.
Matthew’s neck and limbs were tightly bound by the Spirit Light Chains, with the other end of the chains connected to an array on the ground, specifically designed to restrain Matthew.
Scarlett Jennings ignored Matthew’s furious shouts and continued drawing talismans with her brush.
Spiritual energy flowed, and the talisman was completed in one stroke.
As her brush was about to settle, Scarlett Jennings felt a dangerous, ferocious fiend aura pressing down from above her.
The overwhelming sense of oppression caused her hand holding the brush to suddenly freeze. Meanwhile, Matthew, who had been clamoring, shuddered for an instant upon sensing the aura, then huddled up, clutching his head.
Scarlett Jennings saw the talisman paper under her brush tear apart with a ripping sound. As she looked up outside, she found the tent surroundings suddenly engulfed in an eerie silence.
The subtle movements of soldiers on duty outside, the whispers, and the surrounding sounds of insects seemed to vanish in an instant.
The world seemed to quiet down all at once.
The feeling was exactly like when Althea suddenly dragged her into the domain before, but the scent of blood wafting into her nose with the night breeze made Scarlett Jennings keenly aware that she was still firmly anchored in the reality of this time and space.
Without hesitation, she abandoned her brush, grabbed the nearby satchel, and quickly strode outside, yanking open the tent flap.
As far as the eye could see, the area around the tents was silent.
To be precise, the campfires were still burning, but the people had all vanished.
The main camp where Scarlett Jennings was stationed held over ten thousand people, yet it seemed as though in the blink of an eye, everyone had disappeared without a trace.
Her pupils slightly trembled, her hand gripping the fabric of the tent flap subtly tightened before she stepped outside, raising her head, and coldly eyed the colossal beast shrouded in black energy in front of her.
Sheep body, human face, tiger teeth, human claws, eyes at the armpits.
Precisely as Althea described the ancient ferocious beast, Gluttonous Fiend.
Though both were fierce beasts, the aura emitted by Gluttonous Fiend was several times more dangerous than Matthew’s.
Yet at this moment, Scarlett Jennings simply stared at it with unprecedented calm, addressing the eyes within the black mist with a cold voice,
"Spit them out."
The eyes of Gluttonous Fiend swirled, seemingly not understanding what she meant.
Scarlett Jennings’ eyes reddened slightly, gritting her teeth, she enunciated each word slowly at the beast in front of her,
