At that moment, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from above her head.
It seemed to be the sound of powerful wings flapping, rapidly approaching from a distance and quickly reaching overhead, the noise drawing closer as if about to land.
The monsters that had been charging toward them instantly retreated like a receding tide, disappearing into the dense jungle, leaving no trace behind.
What was happening? What could it be? Was an even more terrifying creature descending upon them?
Yura raised her head cautiously, only to see a familiar creature descending, covered in a layer of crimson armor, resembling a bizarre dragonfly.
On the back of the giant insect stood a man clad in armor, frowning as he looked at her and asked, "Where are those Humanoid Monsters?"
Then, one by one, humans riding various flying insects landed, all exuding a powerful aura of Second-Level Adventurers!
No wonder those creatures had fled in panic instead of choosing to kill the two of them; human reinforcements had arrived.
Yura quickly understood and pointed toward the jungle. "They went in that direction. I don't know where they went."
This group possessed formidable strength, being the most powerful among all adventurers, far stronger than her. If they could catch up with those damned monsters, they would surely avenge Uncle Cruton and the others!
Thus, Yura did not hold back at all; instead, she provided as much detailed information as possible. "...There were between 1 to 16 of them. That fox-like monster seems to be their leader, and there was also a black bear..."
"Thanks. Here’s a Healing Potion; you should treat your wounds first." The man nodded and tossed her a vial before urging his flying mount to follow her indicated direction.
Finally safe, Yura's tense heart relaxed instantly. However, due to excessive blood loss, her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the ground. Tracy, standing behind her, hurriedly supported her and took out bandages. She poured the potion onto Yura's wound before quickly wrapping it up.
On Yura's arm was a massive gash the length of a finger, deep enough to see bone.
But as the potion was applied, the wound quickly stopped bleeding.
This healing potion contained a portion of Source Elixir ingredients, possessing incredible efficacy that was unheard of elsewhere, let alone obtainable.
Even if the abdomen was pierced, as long as vital areas like the Heart were not damaged, using enough of the potion could preserve one's life. Subsequently, under the potion's effect, the wound would begin to heal rapidly!
The two did not feel any joy from surviving a near-death experience; they quietly rested for a moment. Tracy supported her as they retraced their steps to search for the bodies of the two others.
They were fortunate to have survived, but Cruton and his companion had fallen forever, never to awaken again.
Life and death partings were the most common occurrences in adventures. If one felt afraid, they could easily find a job in the city and live a quiet and peaceful life.
Only when constantly facing the threat of death did they feel the brilliance of life, burning fiercely like a torch, growing more intense with each passing moment...
Dozens of flying insects were the first to arrive. Such mounts were naturally expensive, but Farn County was not lacking in wealthy individuals. Some noble families with centuries of heritage had accumulated considerable wealth, enough to exchange for potions and mounts at Source Points.
Moreover, there was also a mount rental system, allowing temporary leasing of a mount; however, if anything happened to it, full compensation at market price would be required.
Dozens of people conducted a net-style search over the entire jungle, trying to find traces of those monsters.
Unfortunately, they could not find anything. It was around two in the morning; under the dark night sky, it was difficult to see each other's movements. If they delayed any longer, their opponents would undoubtedly escape without a trace, making it impossible to locate these moving Source Points!
The ability to use weapons like spears indicated that their opponents clearly possessed high intelligence; they might be among the first batch of non-human intelligent beings that emerged due to the opening of the Source Gate!
What was most surprising was that they showed no fear of the aura emitted by these lamp insects!
The glow of these insects illuminating the road was merely a side effect; their true purpose was to form a defensive wall to block the monsters from disrupting road transport.
The scent emitted by the insects mimicked that of the Moon Child and other Ultimate Forms, exerting a lethal suppressive power over lower creatures, much like how a dragon intimidates ordinary beasts. This is why the road became the safest place in the wilderness.
However, now these Humanoid Monsters were somehow immune to the scent's pressure and launched attacks on humans along the road, which was quite perplexing. After all, their strength was at most equivalent to that of a Second-Level Source Energy Warrior, fundamentally different from the Third Rank mentioned in legends.
One after another, hundreds of adventurers arrived on various flying mounts, searching through the entire forest.
Three hours later, as dawn broke, more and more adventurers gathered.
Some even rented a Steam Locomotive, with hundreds or even thousands of people embarking on a comprehensive search of the forest.
Eventually, various Exploration-Type Insect Pets made their appearance, beginning to track the scent left behind by their quarry.
Clearly, their opponents possessed high intelligence and knew how to use various strongly scented items to cover their tracks.
Unfortunately for them, it was futile; these insects had a sense of smell more acute than dogs and easily led thousands of adventurers in pursuit.
This time there was no need for concern; the adventurers pushed forward relentlessly, eliminating every monster they encountered along the way.
After all, there weren't enough of those creatures for so many people to share, so many took advantage of their numbers to hunt down the Massacre monsters without restraint, collecting various materials such as skins, flesh, and horns.
Even a Seven to Eight Meter Long Giant Tiger fell victim to this onslaught, being killed by three adventurer teams working together, yielding a considerable fortune.
In this way, even if they did not find those Humanoid Monsters, their journey would not be in vain.
More than three hours had passed when Tracker Bug led them into a dense, vine-covered valley.
The scene in the valley sent all the adventurers into a frenzy—those Humanoid Monsters were actually here!
Even more astonishing was the sheer number of them, nearly a thousand, seemingly forming a tribe. Some sharp-minded adventurers immediately sensed an opportunity.
These creatures walked upright like monsters and possessed high intelligence, making them the perfect choice for pets. If they could be tamed and sold in the pet market, they would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.
Among them were some that looked particularly cute, like certain foxes and White Cats, definitely belonging to the highest tier of pets!
In an instant, the Humanoid Monsters engaged in battle with the adventurers. They all exhibited formidable strength, causing significant losses among the adventurers who suffered heavy casualties.
However, as more and more adventurers continued to arrive, the monsters' resistance began to falter.
Suddenly, from a cave emerged a Minotaur, towering at five meters tall and wrapped in chains. It charged into the crowd of adventurers like a tiger descending from the mountain, wreaking havoc and causing severe casualties!
None of the adventurers stood a chance against it; they could only scatter in panic, seeking refuge amidst the chaotic battlefield.
Then, with a piercing roar, a Behemoth with nine heads descended, crushing the rampaging Minotaur into the ground with a single step!
