"What in the world is going on? This is truly bizarre."
Several warriors moved cautiously through the dangerous wilderness, their hearts filled with unease.
They bypassed the forests near the camp.
Those areas were populated by only First and Second-Order demonic beasts, offering no real training value for them.
Even the weakest warrior had reached Third-Order Martial Disciple after half a month of intensive training.
With the right training methods, the initial period in the military camp was when their strength grew the fastest!
Therefore, as soon as they entered the outdoor training grounds, they headed for the deeper areas.
But after traveling this far, let alone any One-Star Fourth or Fifth-Order demonic beasts.
They hadn't even encountered a few weak Third-Order demonic beasts.
"Have the demonic beasts here heard we were coming and fled in advance?"
The warriors beside him couldn't help but roll their eyes.
This guy's thick skin was truly thicker than the city walls!
He chuckled, ignoring their reactions, and took the lead, continuing forward.
After the others reminded him to "be careful," they followed.
Since other warriors were training in different directions, they had no choice but to stick to this path.
Not long after, a pungent smell of blood assaulted their noses.
When the warrior at the front saw the scene clearly, his face instantly changed, and he yelled loudly to those behind him, "You... you guys come quickly and take a look!"
Seeing the panic on his face, those trailing behind exchanged glances and hurried up the slope.
Then, their pupils contracted simultaneously, stunned by the sight before them.
In the overgrown environment before them lay numerous, seemingly intact demonic beast corpses.
If it weren't for the fact that the chests of these demonic beasts showed no signs of movement and they were all lying in pools of blood.
They might have suspected these demonic beasts were actually resting!
More than a dozen demonic beasts lay "quietly" on the ground.
"Who... who did this?"
They asked in shock.
Most of the demonic beast corpses here were herbivores.
These herbivores, in order to survive in the wild, were even more vigilant against danger than carnivorous beasts.
To prevent these demonic beasts from escaping, one would have to kill them almost simultaneously!
Otherwise, the slightest disturbance would send them fleeing.
But how easy was it to simultaneously kill Fourth and Fifth-Order demonic beasts spread out over such a wide area in a short amount of time?
"Even the veterans probably couldn't do this."
"It would probably take at least a Martial Artist."
Although there were gaps in strength between Martial Disciples of different orders, it was difficult to achieve a state where the demonic beasts had no chance to escape.
"There are no cities around the camp, so who could appear here?"
"Could it be people from the Sword-toothed Country?"
Recalling Guan Shan's mention of Sword-toothed Country spies at the camp earlier, they felt increasingly convinced that spies were responsible.
Their hearts suddenly grew excited; this was a great opportunity to earn merit!
Gu Han and Gu Chen, who had merely helped Guan Shan expose Lei Chao and the other spies, were promoted to Platoon Leader, jumping two ranks ahead of them!
Above warriors were Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders, Company Commanders, Centurions, and Legion Commanders.
If they discovered traces of spies, even if not Platoon Leader, they should at least be promoted to Squad Leader, right?
Someone impatiently ran towards the direction of the temporary camp.
But those falling behind, looking at the scattered corpses, frowned deeply.
"If it were a spy, what would be the purpose of causing such a huge commotion?"
Judging by the traces, this spy likely hadn't infiltrated the military camp.
If they had infiltrated, with the strength of a Martial Artist, they would at least be a real soldier, not conscripts like them.
If they hadn't infiltrated yet, causing such a massacre here would only alert the military camp.
With strengthened defenses, they would likely lose any chance of infiltrating the camp.
But if they were already warriors, coming here to kill demonic beasts would be a waste of time.
No matter how bored they were, they wouldn't do something like this.
"Who cares? If there really is a spy, then we'll have achieved something great!"
The person next to him saw the doubt in his eyes and said with a chuckle, "Even if there isn't a spy, the instructors will definitely praise us for our careful and cautious approach."
"No matter what, it's all benefit and no harm."
The warrior, who still had doubts, nodded after hearing his teammate's explanation, agreeing with the other's view.
The few of them returned to the temporary camp, only to find it already surrounded by people.
Zhang Wen, who was running at the front, was stunned to see so many people in the camp.
He stepped forward, patted one of them on the shoulder, and asked.
"Brother, why are you guys back too?"
The corner of that person's mouth was almost split to the sky; he couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"I've made a huge contribution this time!"
Zhang Wen's heart sank, and an ominous premonition welled up. He subconsciously asked.
"What contribution? Can you tell me about it?"
That person lowered his voice, acting as if he was afraid of being overheard, and said sneakily.
"Our squad found traces of a spy!"
"Holy… crap!"
Zhang Wen couldn't help himself and shouted it out.
He swallowed, suddenly feeling that the people lining up in front of him might also have found traces of a spy…
If only their squad had found it, then perhaps it would have been immense wealth.
But now, the warriors who came to report clues were probably no less than a hundred.
With so many people, how could they all be promoted to officers?
In the temporary camp, the officer responsible for collecting information was currently overwhelmed.
Starting a few minutes ago, warriors had been returning continuously, claiming to have found suspicious traces of a spy.
This was such an important matter, so he naturally had to take it seriously. After sending his comrades to investigate and finding it indeed suspicious, he prepared to report it.
But then the second squad returned with a report, followed by the third squad…
Up to now, more than a dozen squads had claimed to have found clues to a spy.
Even if this news were reported, and the higher-ups sent people to investigate, it would probably take until dark!
"Damn it, where did so many spies come from?"
Qian Fu saw more people rushing towards the camp in the distance. He quickly stood up and raised his hand to the crowd that was still discussing.
"I have registered all your reports. We will verify them one by one next."
"If a spy is truly caught, your contributions will absolutely not be buried."
At this point, Qian Fu could no longer stay there listening to everyone's reports and could only appease the warriors for the time being.
With Qian Fu's assurance, the warriors finally relaxed.
Actually, they didn't know if their clues were reliable; they had just reported with a sliver of hope.
Under Qian Fu's appeasement, everyone dispersed quickly and continued to hunt demonic beasts for training.
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the name has been changed!
