The Violent Beasts even took away the bodies of their coive the contestants any chance to gain battle spoils, but after giving it so the corpses of their companions as food
The enor the pursuit, otherwise Sheyan and the rest could never have retreated so smoothly The MO of the black monsters was akin to assassins who hide in the darkness; there would be blood whenever theythe enemy, they would never expose themselves
It was uni would employ such a sneaky tactic to hunt The contestants felt chills creeping down their spines just thinking about it
After escaping from the pursuit, the four ed themselves and ate some food to slowly recover their stamina When they had recovered soazes
There was no way Sheyan could shi+rk off the responsibility of being the team leader noever, Sheyan also seemed to have expected this He told them without any hesitation, ”It's impossible that the Violent Beasts knew about us before, whichto ambush us We're merely a pleasant surprise delivered to their doorsteps ”
”Therefore, we can deduce that the captured humans have other coo rescue theo back to their ca the companions of those ere captured”
The others raised no objections to Sheyan's deduction The group thus went back whence they came
On the way back to the camp of the captured humans, they found an unconscious man in a state of near death not far from the camp
The man was Paul, the metal-bender whom Sheyan previously concluded would likely live
The battle robot Heracles had completely broken down It stood sole its master even after its death
Heracles was still e thick black smoke, and there were scorch marks all over its body Evidently, this robot had protected its master as they fled all the way here, but its body had sustained a large nuative conditions such as corrosion and petrification When its master fell unconscious, he lost control of the robot, thus causing a lot of short circuits, burning, and explosions in the robot, and co it
As for how Paul ed to escapedSheyan and the rest could see from his attitude towards Heracles that he must possess a more powerful battle robot, and it must be that battle robot that had led him all the way out of the encirclement That robot must consume a lot of resources to maintain or have a time limit, so it had vanished by now
The group, of course, would not just leave Paul there to die After giving Paul a thorough examination, they found that he had no major injuries, just soative conditions that had accumulated on his body that he was kept in a state of near death
Because they did not expect to engage in any battle soon - and even if they did, they could just escape while carrying Paul - there was no need to waste precious medicine to treat hiative conditions would have passed He would be as good as new the next

Now that the group of contestants were resting beside the campfire, a deep sense of frustration finally washed over the, ”daed to escape! My instruone!”
”Relax, the Violent Beasts have no interest in s, the only part about them that would possibly attract the beasts are their brains, and the cyborgs realised that too I saw the layer on the out of their bodies That's why, I believe that as long as the cyborgs remain motionless, they're as unattractive to the beasts as the reeds and ence of the cyborgs,” Sheyan replied calmly
”I hope you're right,” said Aldaris weakly ”But even if you're right, it's not like we can retrieve them”
”Strictly speaking, it's not impossible Like Sun Tzu said, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles Since we've already found out all the cards the Violent Beasts had up their sleeve - at a great cost, but still - a retrieval mission is absolutely not ith,” muttered Sheyan
