The island with a cave on it...

Moans were audible from behind a bush. The island was deadly silent, so the heavy breathing that constantly switched pace stood out in the surroundings.

Clothes were scattered across the ground. White underwear that somehow ended up on a little branch was swaying in the wind.

While the moans were echoing in the surroundings, a loud screech sounded inside the cave. However, it was extremely faint by the time it reached the outside.

The bush where two bodies were stacked on top of one another was a certain distance away from the cave. Regardless of how open-minded they were, they did not want their teammates to see their intimate actions after they came out of the cave. If they were further away, they could simply explain that they were investigating the vicinity of the island.

The screeches in the cave lasted for a few minutes, before they were soon replaced by some faint cries of agony...

A moment later, a ball of light that served as a signal bounced on the ground and landed outside the cave.

However, someone's head was currently buried between two 'mountains'. Words alone could not describe the thrill he was having. There was no way he could notice the important signal outside the cave.

The signal eventually disappeared after a while. It was already surprising that the magic signal managed to find its way out of the cave.

Different sounds were occurring in the cave, including some deep groans. However, the cave soon fell silent...

The people in the bush were 'battling' to their hearts' content, too. They finally stopped to take a breather.

”Did you hear any sound from the cave?” Li Yumei asked guiltily.

”I didn't hear anything, stop being overly suspicious,” Lu Zhuo put on his clothes.

”Why are you still messing around out here!?” Li Yumei said.

”Weren't you moaning pleasantly too? You were drowning down there too!” Lu Zhuo grinned evilly.

The two quickly tidied themselves up and went back to the cave.

Lu Zhuo was an experienced Advanced Mage. He glanced at the entrance of the cave and immediately noticed the faint burn marks on the rocks.

The light was not used for attacking purposes, but as a signal to request backup!

Li Yumei was just about to speak when Lu Zhuo placed his finger in front of his lips to signal her to be quiet.

He heard footsteps approaching slowly. They were coming out from the pitch-black cave.

Lu Zhuo asked Li Yumei to hide in a safe spot., fixing his eyes on the cave. A minute later, a black figure slowly appeared. He was limping, and seemed to be injured.

Lu Zhuo took a closer look and realized the person was the leader of the Cangjin Hunter Squad, Lan Jin!

”What happened?” Lu Zhuo frowned.

”What did I do?” Lu Zhuo pretended he had no idea what was going on.

”We clearly sent a signal requesting backup! Why didn't you come and save us? My brothers... they...they...” Lan Jin's eyes were filled with anger and tears.

Their squad was attacked. They could not see the attackers clearly. The squad did not stand a chance, and were dragged deeper into the cave like food. Lan Jin heard his teammates' screams. He heard their flesh being torn apart, and their deep groans as their throats were filled with fresh blood!

”The signal never came!” Lu Zhuo immediately said.

Lu Zhuo was rather surprised, too. He did not expect the cave to be occupied by some terrifying monsters. Most importantly, the Cangjin Hunter Squad's strength was not too bad, yet their leader was the only one that had survived. It clearly showed how dangerous the creatures were!

He was glad that he did not go inside the cave.

Lu Zhuo pointed at the burn marks on the rocks and cursed, ”Do you think I'm an idiot? The marks are right here! Lu Zhuo, we respected you because you are a Hunter Master. It's fine if you were treating us like cannon fodder since you're the leader, but how dare you not give us a hand when we were in danger!...”

”Why am I to be blamed for that? Your squad didn't escape in time when you realized you were in danger. I was just looking around nearby. I only noticed the signal just now, but it was already too late when I wanted to go inside and save you all. Aren't you Advanced Hunters? How could you be so careless!?” Lu Zhuo retorted shamelessly.

Lan Jin was trembling in anger after hearing the words. He caught a glimpse of Li Yumei who was standing to the side.

Lan Jin's face twitched suddenly when he noticed something.

”Bastard, you bastard! My men and I were risking our lives for you, yet you and this b**ch were… you two were acting like horny dogs! I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you! Lu Zhuo, I swear I'm going to sue you to serve justice to my brothers even if it's going to cost everything I have. You two are nothing but scum!” Lan Jin started yelling as if he had gone mad.
