Returning to the Giant Curtain once again, the scene was drastically different from just a week ago.
Since the Beast Herding Frog was taken away by Ma Lu, the remaining animals had lost their command and restraint, and they began to kill each other under the drive of their foraging instincts.
The weaker beasts fled in large numbers, while the stronger beasts fought over territory, food sources, and mating rights.
The losers either slunk away or simply became food for the more powerful creatures, which led to a significant reduction in the animal population within the city.
Though the ones that remained were stronger, without the Beast Herding Frog to organize them, they carved out their own territories and fought only for themselves, ultimately unable to escape being hunted by various Hunting Groups.
By the time Ma Lu returned, hunters had reclaimed a third of the city land on that level.
