Chapter 30 (2/2)

Quina stepped forward and said with a serious gaze.

Wang Jue asked, “Did you feel it too?”

This was the first time Wang Jue saw Quina reveal a serious expression.

Wang Jue couldn’t help but take this matter seriously.

It is unknown if they are hostile, which means that the territory has not been attacked yet.

Wang Jue planned to check out the situation first.

Ten minutes later.

Wang Jue and company arrived outside the city wall.

They saw a few strangely dressed people loitering outside.

The soldiers in the territory were also watching these people closely.

The archers were all ready to strike at any moment.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that these people all had a single horn on their heads. There were two men and four women, six of them in total.

“Are these the Shadow Beings?”

Quina was experienced and knowledgeable. She whispered, “My Lord, be careful. The Shadow Beings are a very special race, and they are a special existence. They never take the initiative to interact with others.

“They’ve actually appeared around our territory this time, I don’t know what they’re here for.”

The few of them resembled humans and the atmosphere around them was a gloomy one.

A hint.

[Shadow Beings, advanced monsters. They have different abilities and are good at using ghost flames.]

So they are monsters, and advanced ones at that.

Wang Jue was no longer curious. He just didn’t know why those monsters were lingering around.

Wang Jue narrowed his eyes and decided to go forward to ask them.

Seeing the respect the surrounding people had for Wang Jue, the few Shadow Beings knew that this was the person in charge.

“Hello, I am the Overlord of this land. May I know what brings you here?”

The oldest of the six Shadow Beings, a man with a bamboo sword hanging on his waist said,

“Respected Overlord, we mean no offense.

“We came here to investigate a matter. Perhaps we will need your help.”

Wang Jue was puzzled. “Is that so? What is it?”

Before the old man spoke, a young Shadow Being spoke first.

“Great Elder, what’s the point of talking to him? He’s a human. He’s definitely in cahoots with that group of humans. We’ll know once we take him down.”

With that, without waiting for the old man to speak, he brandished his weapon and dashed towards Wang Jue without another word.

Clang…

Wang Jue didn’t move. A sword in front of him blocked the young Shadow Being.

It was Carl.

Carl’s strength was no longer what it was in the past. It was not a problem for him to stop the Shadow Being.

After a few rounds, the two were evenly matched.

The Shadow Beings were indeed very powerful.

As expected of advanced monsters.

However, Carl was still slightly better. Carl caught a loophole in his opponent’s movements.

Thrusting upwards, his sword swiftly slashed towards the Shadow Being’s chest.

Plkch.

Blood spurted out, and Carl took the opportunity to press his sword against his throat, preventing him from moving.

Once Wang Jue gave the next order, he would be beheaded.

Wang Jue didn’t say anything and just looked at the other party quietly.

At this moment, the old man berated, “Cang Ying, don’t be rude. Stand down!”

Carl made no further move.

When the person called Cang Ying heard this, he held his wound and retreated behind the old man.

“I’m very sorry, revered Overlord. A group of strange humans attacked our clansmen when we weren’t in the village. All of them were killed.”

The elder revealed a grieving expression as he continued, “We discovered the aura of humans here just now, so we came here to check. I’m sorry for offending you. My people are eager for revenge.”

Wang Jue nodded, but he thought inwardly, Who attacked the Shadow Beings? Is it the natives or the other Overlords who transmigrated like me?

From the simple test earlier, Wang Jue could tell that the Shadow Beings weren’t simple.

Especially this elder, as well as a young man who had remained silent the whole time.

If it were the other Overlords, they certainly weren’t simple if they could go against the Shadow Beings.

If it was the natives, Wang Jue would be even more interested.

He also wanted to know how powerful the people of this world were..
