Slaughter

This anomalous pool had been discovered three days ago.

However, because too little information had been gathered, it had not yet been reported to higher authorities.

After learning the details, Ainuo finally understood what had happened, and his expression turned grave.

The three men had merely been standing by the shore when they were suddenly seized by a pulling force. Their bodies involuntarily tipped forward, and they fell into the pool.

A pool that ate people?

"Have you recorded everything?" Ainuo looked toward the clerk responsible for taking notes beside him.

"It's all recorded." The clerk closed his notebook and nodded.

"People have already died. No matter how much information we have, this must be reported immediately.

All of you, stay far back. Seal off everything within a hundred zhang. No one is allowed near it. Wait for instructions from above."

"Yes!" his subordinates answered in unison, turning to make the arrangements.

Yet just then, the pool water suddenly began to churn violently.

The whirlpool abruptly widened. Black spray splashed through the air with a rushing roar.

Seeing this, Ainuo hurriedly retreated several steps with his men.

Then, before everyone's eyes, a figure drifted up from the whirlpool.

It was a young man dressed in fitted black clothes.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over Ainuo and the others. His nose twitched slightly as he sniffed, then a smile appeared on his face.

"The scent of Black Life Realm bugs. So this isn't the Desert Realm. Looks like I came to the right place."

But then he seemed somewhat helpless. "Being a scout in this Black Life Realm is truly hard work. There are so many things to consider, and I just had to end up with a stingy Deputy Realm Warden. The benefits are scarce too. What rotten luck."
