Since the Calamity Beast had already fled, Shen Heng didn't dwell on it further.
Although the number of Calamity Beast Calamity Beast and disappearing in Linhai City has decreased significantly in the past two years due to Shen Heng's involvement, it hasn't been entirely nonexistent.
This Calamity Beast is special only in that it has a larger appetite compared to the other Calamity Beast that escaped.
"Did anyone see which direction the Calamity Beast ran in the last place?" Shen Heng asked the captain and the others.
If you can't confirm that a Tier 3 Calamity Beast has left Linhai, you should still try your best to follow it if you have any clues.
"No, they were all terrified. They were only focused on escaping and didn't have time to think about anything else," Han Ling shrugged.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the large patches of blood on the ground.
Although those involved in today's incident are at least quasi-martial artists.
But they had always lived in peaceful environments.
They've probably never even seen blood, let alone fought in a real battle.
It's understandable that people like them would panic and act recklessly after encountering something like this.
To avoid this problem, you either need to have a very strong mentality, or you can only gradually get used to it.
Shen Heng turned his head and glanced around at the group of people in the alley, then walked towards Yu Jingming.
"Mr. Shen Heng." Yu Jingming forced a smile.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Yu Jingming. "How are you? Are you alright?"
"Yes, the Calamity Beast didn't chase us, and all of us managed to escape!" Yu Jingming.
Shen Heng nodded slightly. He looked at Yu Jingming, thought for a moment, and then asked:
Have you considered leaving this team?
"Withdraw?" Yu Jingming looked at Shen Heng with some doubt.
"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.
"It's good that you want to gain experience beforehand."
"But in reality, with so many of you in a team, it's very difficult to achieve the training effect you want."
" Second Tier and lower-tier Calamity Beast pose no threat to you who have guns."
"But Third Tier Calamity Beast, like today, are completely beyond your ability to deal with."
"Under these circumstances, coupled with the gamble of finding the Calamity Beast in the city, the efficiency is actually not very high."
"So I suggest you focus on your training at home, and we can talk about the experience later."
Yu Jingming slowly nodded and said, "Yes, I will think about it carefully."
Shen Heng glanced at Yu Jingming, but didn't continue to persuade him. Instead, he said:
"In that case, remember to check the level of the Calamity Beast before taking any further action. Make sure you can defeat it before proceeding, after all..."
Shen Heng paused, then looked at Yu Jingming:
Life is only given once, and it is far more important than anything else.
"Okay, I understand." Yu Jingming nodded seriously. "Thank you, Mr. Shen Heng!"
Shen Heng nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
After he left, Ye Chengyun and the others who had been watching closely gathered around.
" Jingming, you really know Inspector Shen? Inspector Shen even came over alone to ask about your situation," Ye Chengyun said, somewhat surprised.
Yu Jingming smiled sheepishly and said nothing.
Yu Jingming didn't seem to want to talk about this anymore, the others had no choice but to give up. However, the way they looked at Yu Jingming was noticeably different from before.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chengyun spoke again:
Should we continue searching for the Calamity Beast?
"Of course, are you afraid of the Calamity Beast?" Deng Ming crossed his arms and looked at Ye Chengyun.
"No, it's just..." Ye Chengyun gave a bitter smile, "It's just that I was the one who called everyone here, and now so many people are dead."
Didn't you already say this when you were recruiting people?
"I only mentioned it as a precaution at the time; I didn't really take it to heart. I think most people are probably in the same boat as me," Ye Chengyun said with a wry smile.
"That's your own problem." Deng Ming looked sternly at Ye Chengyun.
"You made the decision to search for the Calamity Beast yourself, yet you weren't even prepared for the possible consequences. How can you become a true martial artist like that!"
"Yes, since we've already decided to search for the Calamity Beast together, then dying can only be considered our own choice," Qiu Rui echoed.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Ye Chengyun took a deep breath, nodded, and looked around at the other survivors.
"I understand. Let me double-check, is anyone else still looking for the Calamity Beast?"
"I'll count as one." Deng Ming crossed his arms.
"I'll count myself." Qiu Rui raised his hand.
Yu Jingming took a light breath and said, "I'll go too."
After the three answered, the remaining people fell silent.
Ye Chengyun turned his head and glanced at the remaining three people.
Fang Yunshu in the same car as them, along with two others who had escaped from the Third Tier Calamity Beast.
Ye Chengyun pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Fang Yunshu.
Noticing Ye Chengyun's gaze, Fang Yunshu opened her mouth, but the scene from before involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
She thought for a moment, then lowered her head and said:
"Feel sorry..."
Several days later, at night.
Shen Heng sat in the car, gazing at the seafood market with its lone lights flickering in the distance.
Although it's speculated that the Calamity Beast might have somehow found out they had inspected the seafood market, it's ultimately just speculation.
We can't just ignore this place because of a guess.
but...
Shen Heng tapped the steering wheel lightly with his finger, his gaze fixed on the staff locking the door in the distance.
For so many days now, no one has gone missing under any unusual circumstances at the seafood market, or even in the entire Linhai.
In other words, this Calamity Beast has not hunted anything in all these days.
Was it because they were worried about being targeted that they left Linhai?
Or is it because of something else?
Shen Heng stared at the darkened seafood market, lost in thought.
Another hour passed.
The black car slowly started and drove away into the distance.
Shen Heng returned home, chatted with his mother for a while, then went back to his room to exhaust his Origin Power before falling asleep.
"Ding ding ding ding..."
The familiar phone notification tone came through.
Shen Heng opened his eyes and looked at the phone on the bedside table with some confusion.
Without thinking much, he reached for the phone, his gaze slightly narrowing as he saw the contact information displayed on the screen.
The call connected, and a slightly anxious voice came through.
"Mr. Shen Heng, we've encountered another Third Tier Calamity Beast!"
"Which location? What's the situation?" Shen Heng quickly got up and tidied his clothes.
"Here on Linping Avenue, Kaiping District."
"What's the situation?" Putting on his headset, Shen Heng opened the window and jumped downstairs.
"I don't know either. They didn't chase after me; they must have gone after someone else," Yu Jingming's voice came through the earpiece.
"Okay, I understand. Try to run as fast as you can. I'll contact you again when I get to that area." Shen Heng quickly ran towards his car.
"Okay, I understand!"
