Chapter 329: Strange Events of Dongting Lake

The town of Biyi is located southeast of Dongting Lake. The entire city is run by the military, and the residents here are mostly engaged in jobs that can meet the needs of the army.

A large number of Battlemages were stationed at the headquarters of Biyi City. They were mainly here to form a military defense with the Horde of Giant Lizards on Dongting Lake. The city can be described as a defensive barrier between Dongting Lake and the cities in the east.

In the clear sky outside the safe zone, a group of white figures flew towards Biyi City quickly. They landed directly on the platform located in the military fortress.

The group consisted of twenty people. They walked to the main meeting hall in the fortress after handing the Heavenly Eagle over to the Beastmasters.

Nine commanders were already sitting inside the hall. Their eyes were fixed on the map of Dongting Lake that was projected on the wall.

"Discover to speak!"

“Delivered.” The commander standing in front of the projected map said to the captain of the investigation team who had just returned.

“We have verified the findings. We have found a large number of bodies of Giant Lizards to the west of Dongting Lake. We brought back some samples. The result will be out soon.” the leader spoke after saluting.

“I say, Supreme Commander Qiu Xin, who cares if a Giant Lizard dies. Why do we waste our time on them? Maybe Razortail Drake was just born, and they fought each other to claim their territory. It's not like there was no showdown within the Giant Lizard Horde in the past. Why do we need to be here?” A lazy-looking man with the Commander badge said.

Great Commander Qiu Xin had a fierce face, but he was always very careful in everything that he was responsible for. As long as the soldiers detected something a little out of place, he would demand it to be investigated. Knowing that there were millions of lives behind Biyi City, if they failed to react and prepare in time for the possible attack from the horde of Dongting Lake, the casualties would be truly terrifying!

The Commanders waited patiently in the meeting hall. Immediately, a military surgeon came to the hall and presented the results.

“From the data we obtained from the sample, it turns out that the majority of Giant Lizards die in three different ways. First, it burned to death. I believe most of them were burned to ashes. Second, it was struck by lightning. A clean and instant death. Lastly, it was torn apart by violence. Looks like the killer has a pretty strong claw grip and great power!” said the military surgeon who was quite old while coughing.

"Fire, lightning, and physical strength?" Great Commander Qiu Xin thought hard. He tried to filter out the demonic beasts using three important clues.

However, from what he knew, there were no such demonic beasts around Dongting Lake.

“Is there anything else?” Great Commander Qiu Xin asked.

“Oh, the team did say that the area was completely clean.”

"Current?"

“That means no sign of a dead soul. Normally, when an area had a strong death presence, ghosts would start to appear, not to mention the crazy number of corpses there. However, not a single dead soul was in sight. This means that after the demon beasts are killed, their souls are destroyed, or instantly collected, ” explained the old military surgeon.

“Not!isn't this a little too weird? Giant Lizards were slaughtered for no reason, and even their souls were also lost!” said the female commander, Li Man.

“Who cares, we should be glad that something helped us exterminate the Giant Lizard. I hope it will kill a hundred thousand of them. It will make our lives easier for the next few years, ” lazy Commander Zhao Mang said with a smile.

“We must keep an eye on him. I will spread the news and see if anyone knows the truth behind it, ” Great Commander Qiu Xin said.

The meeting is over soon. Great Commander Qiu Xin proceeded to contact the other headquarters and see if someone from the public domain knew anything about it.

The Hunter Guild was the best place to ask for information about something strange like this, as their members were everywhere. They would even go to places that the military would avoid at all costs.

“What do you think it is? The bodies of the Giant Lizard started appearing a week ago. Is it something that will threaten the entire horde?”

“Who knows, it must be a very powerful beast. Just from the number of corpses alone, it was only possible to kill such a large beast by sending out an entire army.”

He had never liked such a strange phenomenon, because it was usually a sign of impending disaster.

He got up from his seat and ordered firmly, “Captain, give me his location. I'll investigate it myself!”

“Well, maybe we should wait!”

“I don't like waiting!” Li Man snapped.

The moment Commander Li Man finished his sentence, he had already dragged the captain out of the meeting hall. The other people involuntarily shook their heads.

The empress in this army was grumpy as usual. He insisted on investigating the matter himself even though it was most likely due to the infighting within the horde of ferocious beasts. Or maybe he was just wilder and more ruthless than men, and would rather go on an adventure than rot here in Biyi City!

Tsk tsk, a woman who loves exciting adventures!

””

Communication between the army headquarters was quite transparent among the military. The information that had been announced by Grand Commander Qiu Xin immediately reached the headquarters in the south.

The army in the south was mainly responsible for the Demon Wolves Horde. Normally, the Horde of Dongting Lake Giant Lizards was none of their business, but their Commander Zhan Kong had been watching them recently.

Zhan Kong had just received the news when someone knocked on the door loudly.

"Who is that?" ask Zhan Kong.

"Boss, it's me, Zhang Xiaohou!" his excited voice answered from behind the door.

“I knew you were coming. Login." Zhan Kong said with a laugh.

Zhang Xiaohou rushed to the room and said excitedly, “Is there any information about Brother Fan? I've heard that something strange happened in Dongting Lake. I remember what you said to me earlier, and I think it's very likely that it's actually Brother Fan himself ! ”

“Not sure yet, I will send someone to investigate. Don't panic.” said Zhan Kong.

"How can I not panic, he's my only brother!"

“I know, now go and wait patiently. I'll let you know when I learn something new.”

“No, boss, please let me go to Dongting Lake. I finally had a glimmer of hope. I will bring Brother Fan back by any means, ” Zhang Xiaohou said with a stern face.

“It's none of your business. Moreover, with your current strength, you will only feed yourself to the Giant Lizard. ”

“This must be my business! Boss, I can take care of myself,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Idiot, with your abilities, even if you practice another ten years, you will still die soon." Zhan Kong kicked that son of a bitch out of his room.

What did he think of Dongting Lake?

Even he, Zhan Kong, had no confidence that he could return from there in one piece. An Intermediate-ranked Magician like that child would definitely be killed if he went there!
