The legendary warrior novel Chapter 260

"True. When a normal surge of beasts occurs, nearly all the beasts are on the prowl, roaming around madly." Kristen nodded.

A few seconds later, her eyes lit up as if she had sensed something.

Tyson's eyes met Kristen's. He also sensed that something anomalous was brewing.

"I am sure you have recognized it already. Now think about the surge of beasts that happened about ten days ago. I can discern that there is something unusual going on. Nearly all the beasts were not frenzied then," Ricky explained.

"You can see it during the course of your previous hunts."

"It's true, I have noticed it as well. I have been fighting with these beasts more than I can count. I have seen them in their actual strength and they are not to be overlooked, especially in their state of madness!" Tyson agreed.

"Then, is it safe to say that this eerie surge of beasts was not a normal surge of beasts?" Kristen speculated.

"Maybe," Ricky replied.

"But, these countless beasts attacked the whole Chaotic Region. Isn't that a normal surge? Even if these beasts were controlled by the tamers from our region, it is still questionable how they can manage such a vast number of them." Kristen furrowed her eyebrows trying to put two and two together.

"For those beast tamers who are able to control all the wild beasts in this Chaotic Region, it's worthless to launch a fake surge of beasts, because they think nothing of us and our belongings."

"Ah, it can't be the beast tamer. The beast tamer only launches an attack to plunder resources. But you see, this surge went out suddenly and unexpectedly," Ricky explained.

"There is also something unusual going on with them. When they retreated, they carried two or three bodies of dead warriors with them!"

"Indeed! I remember it, too. It's a good thing you mentioned that part, Russell. I nearly forgot that they carried bodies with them!" Tyson exclaimed. He finally figured out the pieces of the puzzle.

"It's very strange, indeed. Coupled with the fact that these beasts are not in a state of madness, this surge will really make people wonder if it is a normal one!" Kristen interjected.

They were all in contemplation as they tried to figure out what was going on.

...

"It's very puzzling. What is happening?" Tyson's impatient voice broke the silence, "Let's not think about it for now. We'll be out of our minds the longer we try to solve this one."

"The surge is over, anyway. We don't have to worry about it any further. We should put it at the back of our heads."

"Tyson, we have all day. There's no rush. I think Bastian should probably be back anyway." Ricky smiled at Tyson, and hoped that this could comfort him.

"What do you mean?" Tyson asked, perplexed by Ricky's attitude.

"I sent out Bastian to the mountains to get information the other day," Ricky explained.

"It turns out you have been trying to figure out everything from the start," Tyson quipped.

"I'm not alone. Before I sent out Bastian, some other gangs had already begun their action. I think the forces in the Upper Region and the Lower Region will also send out warriors because we are all in the same boat."

"Leaders, can I come in?" Before Ricky could say anything further, a familiar voice was heard outside.

"Speaking of the devil. Bastian's finally here at last!" Tyson laughed.

...

"Bastian, my elder brother, how's it going? Have you uncovered something new?" Ricky asked as they gathered in the room.

"As you have expected, nearly all forces in the Chaotic Region have sent warriors to the depths of the mountains to size up the situation," Bastian reported.

"Just as I expected!" Ricky confirmed.
