Holy Tree City

"Head, I've embedded the First Scale on him. A-avenge me..."

Scale grabbed the placket of the man in black. Contracting his remaining muscles and mustering all his strength to voice his last will, he gasped and died in the arms of the man.

It had not been easy for him to hold up until now. His body was covered with electrocution burns and cuts from wind blades plus all sorts of claw and bite impressions. The reason he could last so long was that three more members of the Death Adder Squad, Tongue, Fang and Venom, had sacrificed themselves. The squad of seven was down to three after an intense fight.

Head put Scale's body down as he scanned the desolate valley. The five bodies of the dead demon apes could not be wasted. They should be brought back, but would they be enough to cover the loss?

No! The only thing that could cover the squad's loss was Tang Ling's dead body!
