Chapter 12: Breaking Through the Fifth Heaven
A short while later, several figures emerged from the woods and approached the spot.
It was apparently a hunting group of five: four men and one woman.
"It looks like a tough fight's just taken place here," said a tall and thin warrior. He looked around with his eyes narrowed, noting the faint smell of blood in the air.
"There's the dead body of a Spiritual Beast over there." The only woman in the group focused her gaze on the skinned Shadow Gale Wolf.
"Since the Spiritual Beast is dead, let's not waste more time here. We should keep going deeper into the mountains," said a man in a blue gown, furrowing his brows.
They didn't plan to linger in the foothills of the mountains.
"Let's go!" The man who was obviously the leader waved his hand.
"What?" Just as they were about to leave, the leader's eyes widened slightly. His gaze had landed on the body of the Shadow Gale Wolf.
"It's a Shadow Gale Wolf!" When they got close enough to the lifeless body to get a good look at it, the leader recognized it at once.
"What?"
"A Shadow Gale Wolf?"
"No way! We're still in the outskirts of the Blackrock Mountains. How could there be Shadow Gale Wolves hanging around?"
