"Red Spirits?"

"No, brother."

"----Which races do those spirits correspond to?"

"Yes, brother."

The man carrying the battle axe reached a conclusion, and his brother, the man wielding a giant bow, nodded in agreement.

With the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the two began to approach.

There was no malice intended.

They slowly walked over.

Melusina frowned, but still jumped down from the tree. The others landed and scattered, remaining vigilant.

"An unknown race, we are the Great Wild Hunt, protected by the God of Wind."

The men carrying battle axes walked over, speaking loudly, their pronunciation entirely in the Common Language.

Among everyone, in terms of common language, gold is clearly the best.

After all, he had previously hung out with Kevin and the others at the Training Ground.

And the Great Wild Hunt.

I have heard it, and I have explained it.

They are the only intelligent race with a civilized population that we haven't encountered in the Arena before.

The Cat was wondering why the Great Wild Hunt hadn't come, as they were also a rather warlike race.

I never expected to run into you here.

Based on what we learned in the Arena at the time, the location of the Great Wild Hunt was in a corner of the Sky Overlord's territory.

There was a vast grassland, extremely expansive, completely under the control of the Great Wild Hunt.

It's practically straddling the entire territory from the sea, yet it's managed to come all the way here.

I never expected that.

"We are human beings, a race recognized by God."

Elites who have spent time in the Arena know very well that the vast majority of these intelligent races on the Dark Continent refer to the Sky Overlord as a god.

The so-called God of Wind is likely another name for the Sky Overlord.

Melusina then raised her arm.

The mark of the Dark Probe is imprinted on his wrist, and within the mark of the Dark Probe lies the aura of the acknowledged Lord of the Sky Overlord.

"It truly tastes like divine protection; they're right."

"Yes, brother."

The two did not use a common language to communicate; instead, they communicated with each other in a way that Kim and the others could not understand at all.

"Excuse me, is this your territory? Or is it part of your territory? We don't know, and we haven't sensed any other refugees' markings."

The men carrying battle axes approached and asked with a hint of apology.

The entire behavior, including the language used, clearly demonstrates that the other party is indeed a civilized race.

This made Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Dark Continent, there are very few races that can communicate using logic, civilization, and politeness.

It seems to be the Great Wild Hunt without a doubt.

"This isn't our territory; we just train here and hunt occasionally."

Kim said this.

"So this is your hunting ground."

The men carrying battle axes nodded and then explained their purpose.

"We came in pursuit of the exterminated Spawn, but it seems you've already dealt with them."

As he spoke, he pointed with his battle axe at the corpse lying on the ground beside him.

It was the same monster they had just encountered.

The men and horses wielding giant bows approached and kicked the corpses with their hooves.

"He's dead, brother."

"Really? What a pity after chasing for so long."

"Too slow, brother."

"We were just really unlucky."

The two communicated in a common language this time, and everyone understood them.

Melusina and Kim exchanged a glance.

The enemy these two Great Wild Hunt were chasing was Spawn that had been slain, and this so-called Spawn had a strong connection to their enemy.

This information needs to be understood.

"Can you tell us why you're chasing him? He seems abnormal; he attacked us directly, and he's completely unable to communicate, and doesn't seem to have much rationality."

The waraxe centaur nodded, his tone slightly angry, and said, "There's nothing to hide. The masters of these Spawn have a grudge against our race. They have committed unforgivable sins, and we are hunting them down, vowing to slaughter all their tentacles."

While we're at it, let's also track down their owner. If you encounter anything similar, please share your findings with us. We've been searching for them for tens of thousands of days and nights.

Hasn't that been a pursuit for decades?

Jin showed interest.

"We also need to eliminate enemies like these that attack other living beings without provocation. Would you mind if we discussed this in more detail?"

"Certainly."

They didn't go far, and simply rested where they were.

Jin was the main communicator. Although Melusina could speak some, she could only speak a little bit, but fortunately, everyone could understand the Common Tongue.

Kim spoke first.

"I just returned from the Grand Tournament Arena, where I learned of your existence. I heard you are hunters who chase the raging winds."

"Oh? You've been to the Grand Tournament Arena? I was there many days and nights ago too; it was a lot of fun."

If you didn't see us this time, it's probably because your other companions discovered more Spawn.

With this connection established, both sides' vigilance was significantly reduced.

The two men from the Great Wild Hunt even bent their knees on their horses' legs and knelt down on the horses' bodies.

Jin and the others also sat down cross-legged opposite them.

"These Spawn are controlled by their master; they are mindless monsters under control. Some of them are our people, but they are few in number and are targeted for hunting, so they should not have been visible before."

Sure enough, if nothing unexpected happens, the enemy they are chasing is very likely the Lord who infiltrated the human Small Town earlier.

The one who was later killed by Kevin.

That's right, everyone except Melusina believed that the Lord was killed by Kevin.

Only Melusina knew about Kevin's trump card, which could instantly defeat opponents of the same level.

Previously, Kevin simply didn't want to talk about it, but now he knows that hiding one's hand is extremely useful.

Because the eerie enemies of the Dark Continent can truly infiltrate a human body and take over everything about them, including their memories.

"And their master is extremely dangerous, a Lord not recognized by the gods, a despicable, cunning, and wicked man."

At this point, the other party's anger surged forth, and even his skin and the horse's mane began to turn red.

Their emotions seem to influence their outward behavior.

"Be careful, that guy can infiltrate into the body of a living being, and neither you nor I can resist it. Then he will use that body to infiltrate your home."

However, his target is Lord of equal power. He will feign harmlessness before launching a fatal surprise attack.

That's an absolutely powerful monster; you must not underestimate it. This information must be relayed to your Lord to prevent him from being killed.

At this point, the other person became very serious, speaking as if giving instructions.

In the Dark Continent, deception is rare; it is only through excessive communication and the emergence of spontaneous civilizations that deception can arise.

In particular, deception, concealment, and attacks in verbal communication.

In the case of both being Lord...

If a Lord shows goodwill rather than malice, the other Lord is less likely to express hostility or even launch an attack for no reason.

The Lord all acknowledged and were proud of their own strength.

Unexpectedly, this Lord who would ambush others possessed a powerful attack ability, giving no one a chance to react.

He's a dangerous guy.

The waraxe-wielding men chattered on and on, recounting various pieces of information about their enemy.

Clearly, this warning needs to be communicated to all regions.

"Such a formidable enemy, are you really going to hunt them down? What if you're all wiped out? You won't be able to get any information back, will you?"

To Jin's question, the Tomahawk Centaur shook his head.

"Even in death, the wind will carry our message, and our main objective is to hunt down his minions, his tentacles. Cutting off those damned tentacles will prevent him from running rampant any longer."

Clearly, decades of mutual pursuit and struggle have given the Great Wild Hunt a deep understanding of this enemy.

Thinking about it that way, Kevin is really amazing; he took down the enemy so quietly.

Jin thought to himself silently.

"However, it's rather strange that his henchmen and Spawn would attack you for no apparent reason. Both their master and they themselves are adept at hiding and disguising themselves; they are all cunning and wicked."

The man spoke, looking at Jin and the others.

They clearly want a precise answer.

This is perhaps the real reason why the other party stopped to talk to them in detail.

After all, the current situation seems somewhat different from the intelligence they had previously gathered. Why this change? They wanted to know.

"That's not surprising. If this is the kind of Spawn you're talking about, then my clan has experienced quite a few, especially recently."

They even attack our territory, causing us considerable casualties.

Jin spoke quietly, as if she didn't know the reason.

"Are they attacking your territory?"

The horsemen were somewhat surprised, even a little anxious.

"That's right. It's quite unexpected. We only learned about this Spawn of bastard yesterday. The information came from our territory."

They had already encountered five such enemies there, and although they had killed them, they didn't know how many more were left.

"Five?" The centaur was even more surprised.

They had been chasing this one for ages, only to find that these Spawn minions were actually besieging the territory of some other race.

The one they're chasing now inexplicably exudes hostility and wants to kill any humans not in its territory.

Do humans have some kind of grudge against them?

"Brother is the master of these Spawn."

"Yes, you're right. Their master must have given some kind of order."

The man and horse immediately stood up and stomped their feet impatiently.

For a moment, I didn't know how to start the conversation.

You want to go to our territory?

Jin asked directly.

The men and horses nodded hastily.

"While it may be presumptuous of us to say this, we do indeed wish to visit your territory. After all, these enemies we have been hunting have undergone such changes, and we wish to understand why."

But this behavior also makes them somewhat similar to the enemies they just mentioned; who knows if they're lying?

Jin thought for a moment.

They began talking with Melusina and the others.

Of course, all of these are fake.

They knew the reason, of course, and were preparing to send the Wild Hunt to Moon Bay Town.

After all, Kevin made it clear that if they are from recognized races, there is a basic level of trust between them.

Not to mention they are among the few civilized and intelligent, recognized groups within the territory.

More interaction is beneficial and harmless for humans who have just arrived here.

After a perfunctory conversation, the pretense of conversation was over.

Jin nodded.

"I can tell you your location and I will pass your message on."

"Really? Thank you so much."

After saying that...

The two figures strode forward, the wind howling, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared from their spot, raising clouds of dust as they headed into the distance.

"As expected of a horse, it's incredibly fast."

The Qima exclaimed in amazement.

The other party's speed clearly indicates that they are capable of maintaining this rapid running pace.

Although Qishou is fast, he mostly uses it for reconnaissance and combat. Even without interference from others, his body cannot support him traveling at Lightning Speed.

Especially considering how vast the Dark Continent is.

"Pass the message to Kevin first."

Melusina spoke, she picked up her notebook.

"Brother, those humans seem to be hiding something."

"That's normal. After all, it's only our first meeting, so it's impossible for them to tell us everything."

"That's right, brother."

"Regardless, they are indeed enemies of the Spawn, and at the very least, they won't be on their side."

That's enough.

Their long-distance raid was incredibly impressive; they maintained such an extreme speed without slowing down at all, heading straight for Kevin's territory.

They slowed their pace only when they were almost close to the territory of the Resentful Eater Snake.

"A territory recognized by God."

As they passed the edge of the territory, the centaurs couldn't help but gaze into the distance.

However, at such a distance, they naturally couldn't see anything, but the faintly emanating chilling aura still made them somewhat cautious.

They grazed the edge and passed through the Giant Beast Kingdom.

The sheer number of such enormous creatures here clearly indicates that it's a specially constructed hunting ground.

"I never imagined that such a powerful place could exist even in such a barren coastal region."

They marched on and even discovered the Golden Grassland.

But the aura of the recognized Lord here was a bit too strong. They were just passing through the grasslands, enjoying the atmosphere that felt like home.

We're finally getting close to human territory.

"I can already smell those Spawn, the stench is strong enough, speed things up!"

The two horses galloped off and quickly approached the edge of human territory.

"You beast, prepare to die!"

A monster that invaded territory, also not a particularly large individual.

When Gowen was at his peak strength, he was cleaved in two.

"Who?"

Sensing their presence, Gowen raised his sword and asked.

Two people and horses slowly walked out.

"You are the Great Wild Hunt that Jin spoke of?"

Gowen asked in Common Language.

The two men nodded, indicating that they had no malicious intent.

"Then come with me, the Lord is already waiting for you."
