"Could it have been a Blood Corruption individual? But even Beastmen in a Blood Corruption state couldn't possibly be that fast! Was I really just being paranoid?"
Hearing the words of several subordinates, the patrol leader fell into thought.

"Yes!"
Hearing the captain's words, the Honkai Beastmen did not dare waste any
