"So, I see." Gary Smith replied calmly.
The village chief, having his intention to save money exposed, his face showed some embarrassment. Nonetheless, being an experienced old-timer, he warmly said:
"Let's enter the village first, and I'll tell you about the recent happenings..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a subtle vibration emanated from the ground and distant howls echoed around.
"Arooo!"
Hearing this sound, a look of terror appeared on the villagers' faces, and they nervously gripped their weapons.
Gary Smith followed their gazes and suddenly saw a burst of flames rising from the direction of Chaos Burial Hill.
No, that's not right!
It wasn't just flames; shadowy figures ablaze were dashing across the land, turning everything in their path into scorched black earth, shimmering with sparks.
