Under the pitch-black night, the wind howled high above, slowly growing stronger.
Though it was night, it made little difference to Kangqiao's eyes.
In the darkness, the scenes reflected in Kangqiao's vision resembled the imagery captured by an infrared camera.
It wasn't as clear as daytime, but it wasn't far off either.
The same went for the two tribes locked in battle in this supernatural world.
It was just that, compared to Kangqiao's superhuman sight, theirs was many times weaker.
Under Kangqiao's watch, the two tribes were erupting in fierce conflict.
The three-hundred-meter-wide river wasn't an insurmountable chasm—it merely formed a slightly troublesome 'trench' of sorts.
When hundreds of Primal dinosaurs, their bodies ablaze with fire, charged into the river, the water in the entire river was boiled away.
Rolling white steam rose continuously, veiled by the night.
And as Dinosaur People, also engulfed in flames, leaped from the river onto the opposite bank to battle the Serpent People, the entire shoreline there caught fire.
Explosions and roars followed one after another.
Once the Dinosaur People unleashed their flame abilities, the battlefield instantly turned into a one-sided affair.
The favorable situation spurred the Dinosaur People to fight with ever-growing valor.
Yet, amid this advantageous battle, Kangqiao, who had been observing all along, suddenly furrowed his brow.
He lifted his head and looked toward the sky hidden by the night.
His pupils contracted slightly, flames flickering and leaping within them, and then his gaze pierced the darkness, sweeping across a dozen kilometers to the horizon.
What did he see?
A massive black cloud was drifting toward the battlefield of the two tribes.
No, that wasn't a cloud—it was a huge swarm of humanoid mosquitoes.
They were so densely packed that a single glance could unsettle anyone with trypophobia.
However, these mosquitoes weren't the key point. The key point was that above the swarm, a bird of absurd size was flying.
As Kangqiao stared at the giant bird, its sharp eyes locked onto his in return.
Kangqiao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but curse.
"Holy shit, that's one huge moth! And it looks way too damn bizarre."
Yes, the bird flying in the sky looked very, very much like a moth, but it was grotesquely odd.
The giant moth's body size wasn't the issue—the real question was, how could a moth have a head like a vulture?
And why did its wings have bat-like claws sprouting from them?
Even more so, beneath this giant moth, Kangqiao saw eight slender legs.
These legs were covered in dense black fuzz, looking rather disgusting.
And what intrigued Kangqiao the most was, damn it, how did a giant moth end up mingling with a swarm of mosquito-like creatures?
Was there really no problem with the evolution of these subjects of yours?
Well, that was just a jumble of thoughts popping into Kangqiao's head at the moment.
The truth was, this newly arrived giant moth and the Mosquito People looked far too bizarre, and they kind of turned Kangqiao's stomach.
Anyway, these creepy things completely failed to meet Kangqiao's aesthetic standards—ugly as hell.
A swarm of mosquitoes and a giant moth suddenly showing up—Kangqiao didn't think they were out for a stroll.
Moreover, the moment Kangqiao locked eyes with the giant moth, the creature actually hovered in midair, stopping its advance, while the dense mosquito swarm all halted several kilometers away in the high night sky.
These humanoid mosquitoes numbered at least fifty thousand, if not a hundred thousand, and such a massive swarm flying at altitude was utterly silent.
That alone forced Kangqiao to grow a bit wary.
"What's the deal with these guys?"
"If they're not reinforcements for the Serpent People, can I assume they're here to pick off the scraps?"
A strange expression crept onto Kangqiao's face.
"Looks like tonight's going to be interesting!"
"I wonder, besides this freak moth, if there are other guests?"
With caution in mind, Kangqiao began to scan his surroundings meticulously.
The forest, the river—within a radius of several kilometers, Kangqiao examined everything carefully.
Finally, downstream along the winding river, about seven or eight kilometers from the battlefield, he suddenly spotted a section of the river heaving under the night.
There, the water surface rippled irregularly from time to time.
Then, Kangqiao noticed several Shark People surfacing intermittently.
And over there, perched on a Giant Tree, Kangqiao also spotted a Shark People scout.
A Striped Sea Serpent coiled atop the Giant Tree, watching the battlefield from afar.
Though similar in size to the Serpent People's Serpent monsters, its surface patterns and colors were different.
The Serpent monsters of the Serpent People were mostly dark green and black, with no patterns at all.
Nothing like the zebra-like stripes of this sea serpent.
Seeing this, Kangqiao understood completely.
Tonight would not end peacefully.
The fisherman benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam—the Extraordinary Races of this world weren't as foolish as he'd imagined.
Still, Kangqiao was puzzled—who gave them the courage?
Even the snipe and clam needed to be evenly matched for the fisherman to profit.
But the Serpent People were currently being completely overwhelmed.
Without much thought, Kangqiao had already reached a conclusion.
"Heh, looks like the Serpent People are exactly as I guessed."
"Another Giant Beast? But where exactly is this Giant Beast now?"
With this realization, Kangqiao perked up instantly.
He was curious where the Giant Beast behind the Serpent People was, and what it looked like.
Was it a giant version of the Serpent monsters, or some deformed species like the giant moth?
Kangqiao began watching the battlefield warily, also planning to act immediately if a Giant Beast Serpent monster appeared.
As for how many Dinosaur People survived the collateral damage, they'd have to rely on their own luck.
He could only minimize the Dinosaur People's losses as much as possible, or even drag the Giant Beast's battlefield far away.
Kangqiao himself was nearly three kilometers from the battlefield, precisely to avoid causing trouble for the Dinosaur People while traveling and moving.
After all, the impact of each of his steps was still quite exaggerated.
He didn't disappoint Kangqiao's 'expectations.'
Just a short while after the Dinosaur People started slaughtering and chasing the fleeing Serpent People, a huge rumble suddenly came from the distant primeval forest in the night.
Countless trees collapsed around them, and the entire earth shook and roared.
Then, accompanied by the sound of ground sinking, a terrifying giant serpent suddenly burst out from the earth.
The impact of the eruption was like a massive explosion, with powerful air currents and shockwaves sweeping across the entire primeval forest on the opposite bank.
Under the force of the strong winds, even many Dinosaur People were blown away, crashing heavily to the ground far off.
Fortunately, most Dinosaur People had bodies like iron blocks; after hitting the ground, they just shook their heads and immediately started sprinting away.
Yes, the moment they saw the giant serpent monster appear, these guys immediately fled.
This scene stunned even the Serpent People on the other side, and Kangqiao was also a bit dumbfounded.
Were these the somewhat simple-minded Dinosaur People he knew? Were these the hot-tempered Lava Foreign Race the Serpent People knew?
The air grew a little awkward at that moment.
Finally, Kangqiao smiled helplessly, understanding.
The Dinosaur People clearly had some understanding of the Serpent People's situation, and they had also factored him into this battle.
Indeed, since he had followed, as long as they weren't stupid, they'd know he would intervene in this fight.
Kangqiao chuckled—this was fine. As long as these Dinosaur People weren't foolish and ran far away, it would make it easier for him to go all out next.
