518 The Town (1)

"Snap."

A withered branch broke under the pressure of a foot. The dark brown leather boots slowly landed before a dark red, almost dried puddle of blood.

Then, they stopped.

Amid the fog, the town was as deathly quiet as ever. Mera looked up at the skies.

"Big Sister, it's about time we head back. We won't make it in time otherwise. We're getting too close. We should come back tomorrow to check this place," Fran warned her from far away behind her.

Another man was bringing some personnel to inspect the bodies of Urus's soldiers. They wanted to see if they could extract any crucial clues from them.

"Got it," Mer responded. However, her gaze was still fixed upon the nearby town.

"Luo Di, I wish you luck…" She sighed. Then, she turned around and quickly walked toward Fran.

Suddenly, a faint rumble reached them from the horizon.

"What's that?" Mera paused. She turned to look in the direction of the sound.
