NovelEnglishChapter 178: Sons of Mutant Blood (3)
The villain’s body trembled violently, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the tip of the spike that pierced through his chest.
“Who is it?!”
The villain jerked his head back, but there was no one behind him.
At this moment, the former reached out and grabbed at the air.
“Recital·Spirit of Earth!”
A sharp stone pillar suddenly rose from between the villain’s legs.
Tshh!
The villain could not dodge in time. He was directly pierced by the stone pillar. It entered his lower body and came out of his mouth. His bloodshot eyes instantly lost their luster.
Swish swish….

The villain’s corpse also fell to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain. He could not be more dead.
“Fortunately, this guy didn’t rush over directly…”
The yellow light in the man’s eyes faded as he took a deep breath. He did not dare to delay and hurriedly left, afraid that the accomplices of the villain would arrive.
...
When Zhou Jing and the others arrived at the Lord’s castle, it was already empty. Only the corpses on the ground proved that a tragic battle had happened here.
“None of them survived?”
The group carefully walked in and searched around. Finally, they stopped in front of a headless corpse. From the clothes, this person should have been the Lord.
Cole squatted down to check the wound and frowned, “Oh no, this person is the Lord of Deep Rock City. Looks like he’s dead.”
“Do you even need to confirm if he’s dead?” Zhou Jing rolled his eyes.
Cole had nothing to retort. He turned his head to observe the traces of battle around him before he concluded, “Looking at the traces of destruction, there were probably more than ten Mutant Blood Warriors who fought here previously. I wonder where they are now.”
“The Lord is dead, and the army is almost destroyed, but we didn’t see a single enemy’s corpse on the way. Perhaps the enemies are all Mutant Blood Warriors. To be able to destroy the city to this extent, there are probably no less than 20 enemies.” The team leader’s tone was solemn.
“Where did the hunters of Deep Rock City go? Why does it seem like no one stopped them?”
“Maybe they were all killed… Think about it. These guys are acting as hunters to coordinate their attacks on the inside and outside. They will definitely use their identities to easily deal with the most troublesome hunters in the town.”
“That’s bad. We don’t have any allies. Can we stop this group of thugs with just the few of us?”
The members of the hunter team were worried.
Zhou Jing lowered his head to observe. He suddenly realized that one of the corpses had died in a different way. It was covered in spikes, and it was not dressed like a guard.
“Come and take a look. This might be the corpse of an enemy.”
Everyone immediately came over to observe this abnormal corpse.
“It should be the enemy… Why did he die so strangely? Could he have fallen into a trap?” Cole was puzzled.

Zhou Jing pulled out the spikes one by one and found that they were of different shapes and sizes. If it was a trap, it would be a little too crude.
“Do any of you know this enemy?”
“Never seen him before.” Everyone shook their heads.
Zhou Jing pondered for a while and suddenly thought of the tribal independence plan. He quickly asked, “By the way, is the Lord of Deep Rock City a tribal lord or a lord appointed by the empire?”
“I know this. He’s part of the appointed faction,” Cole replied.
Since he was appointed, then there was no tribe as a foundation in the local area… Zhou Jing scratched his head. He was not sure if it was an accident caused by the tribal independence plan, but he felt that it did not seem like it.
After all, even if the tribes wanted independence, they did not need to burn the homes of others.
At this moment, the team leader spoke in a deep voice.
“The Lord’s castle has already fallen. We won’t be able to find any help. If we rashly search for the enemy, we will also suffer. Let’s go to the Hunter Tavern and the workshop to take a look first. Try to find the surviving hunters and guards in the town and gather our troops.”
Everyone nodded and hurriedly left the silent castle.
