It was exactly ten days since the monsters slaughtered the entire Wellspring Village.
When Caspian and the others saw the ruins, they all fell silent.
If it were not for the sudden attack of the monsters, the village might be covered with fields where the men plowed, the women weaved, and the children played.
However, weeds grew on both sides of the trail, and the surroundings were silent Even after so many days, there was still a depressing pungent smell of blood in the air.
“This is the first village the monsters attacked.
A survivor from this place informed the division of our sect,” Maya explained, “It’s also because this is the first village the monsters slaughtered.
Hence, when many disciples investigate, they’ll ignore this place as many people believe that after so long, there’ll be no monsters here.”
Maya was responsible for everyone’s routes at that time.
Then, she turned around and reminded everyone, “However, there are tracks of monsters passing by recently.
Hence, we must be extra careful.”
“Okay.” Everyone nodded and spread out, looking for traces of monsters around the village.
Nonetheless, the four of them were not far from each other in case they discovered anything or were attacked, the rest of them could immediately rush over for rescue.
When they separated, Caspian glanced at Solana.
Solana did not say anything but quietly followed them for the six days that they traveled here.
However, Caspian could feel that Solana’s gaze was always on him from time to time.
Whenever he looked at Solana, she would look away, and Caspian was also unaware of her intention.
At times, Caspian could not help but doubt why Omar and Maya would include Solana in the mission.
Just as Caspian thought about that, he quickly swept his gaze across the surroundings.
The seemingly worthless traces all around are now reorganized in Caspian’s brain through his eyes.
Then, the scene where the monsters slaughtered the village replayed in Caspian’s mind.
At that time, Solana walked for a distance before arriving at a two-story house that was still considered intact, which was also the tallest building in the Wellspring Village.
Although it was missing a corner, it did not collapse and still maintained its original appearance.
The sunlight did not enter the house, causing the inside to be dark.
A slightly unpleasant smell rushed out, and Solana could not tell if something rotted inside.
Soon, Solana stopped in her tracks, and glanced at Caspian from the corner of her eyes, wanting to know what he was doing.
However, just as she was distracted, Solana suddenly felt a strong sense of danger surging in her.
In that instant, Solana’s hair stood on ends, and she looked at the source of the danger.
In the ruined home, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared out of the blue.
The blood-red eyes were the size of an adult’s fist, and the pupils shrank violently as they stared straight at Solana.
There was hatred and resentment in the eyes, and it was enough to scare someone to death.
Solana was caught off guard and was also so frightened that she could not move her limbs.
Then, the mud wall in front of her exploded with a loud bang, and a huge black shadow with a strong smell of stench broke through the wall and pounced on her.
She stared wide-eyed as the mouthful of sharp teeth rushed toward her.
She could not control her body.
It was as if she was glued to the ground.
Then, in the blink of an eye, desperation filled her heart.
Solana watched as the massive mouth got closer to her, and the surrounding light seemed to dim.
Soon, Solana just closed her eyes as if she was just waiting for death.
However, she heard an ear-piercing scream.
