"Demon Beast attack?"
Huo Qing, a local, was not surprised but somewhat relieved and grateful, "It's Ash Crows. Good thing we didn't continue forward, or we'd have been discovered."
He recognized the type of Demon Beast in an instant: "This is a type of Demon Beast that nests in the Sinking Sun Sea to the northwest, known for its ferocity and high intelligence, often ambushing caravans to seize resources."
"But why? Why would they seek their own deaths and strike at Chonggang Town?"
Huo Qing wasn't taken aback by the Demon Beast attack. The Floating Dust Plains may be called a safe zone, but it's only relatively so. Now, as the Tianyuan Realm is in need of rebuilding, Demon Beasts and monsters are in the majority, frequently launching attacks on human settlements, sometimes once or twice every ten days.
However, even the dumbest Demon Beast wouldn't rashly attack a heavily defended town within a safe zone.
