Chapter 1613: Chapter 490 Moon Wheel Massacre Chapter 1613: Chapter 490 Moon Wheel Massacre “Demon Beast Attack!”

Adventurers at the Firefly Camp were thrown into chaos by the sudden sound of horns.

People poured into the streets, trying to discern what was happening.

After all, this was deep within the Magical Beast Forest.

Compared to the number of demon beasts, humans were the minority.

Just as human adventurers eye a large tribe of magical beasts wanting to wipe them out for materials; the demon beasts likewise covet the delicious blood meal that the camp offered.

Thus, demon beast attacks like this were not uncommon in the wild.

But for a strong team, this was usually a welcome boon.

Leonard Churchill and his companions had encountered this before.

And then those demon beasts were turned into materials.

Moreover, this Firefly Camp had a Magic Tower and an Archbishop of the Holy Church stationed here.

No one believed any demon beast could breach such a well-defended, large camp.

This kind of attack was just an opportunity to pick up money.

So at the first moment, the Mercenary Group wasn’t fearful, but organized their members immediately, rolling up their sleeves and ready to fight.

“My goodness, demon beast attack? Brothers, quickly grab your weapons and follow me to the city wall!”

“Hahaha, I hope not too few come, otherwise there won’t be enough to go around for everyone in the camp. Those from the Furious Fire Group, follow me, let’s scoop up the first wave outside!”

…

In the restaurants, pubs, and tents… Adventurers flooded out like a tide, swiftly assembling and eagerly rushing outside of the camp.

The majority of people hadn’t yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

…

Leonard Churchill and his company were on the second floor of the restaurant, watching solemnly without any movement.

“Hey, quite the lively scene. Look at those guys, they are clearly from formal military troops, even Royal Knights, yet disguised as adventurers…”

“Yes, if it weren’t for this incident, I wouldn’t have known there were so many from the Holy Church inside the camp.”

…

Members of the Revolutionary Army, all seasoned veterans, could tell those who behaved differently in this emergency at a glance.

Those excitedly rushing out were definitely adventurers looking to get rich;
But those who were disciplined and well-organized were from the formal military troops.

Just the number exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised, however.

Having been observing for a while, he already knew that about ten to twenty percent of the people in the camp were related to the Holy Church.

However, neither people from the Sun Sect nor the Crimson Sect had showed their faces.

This was just the beginning.

The situation was far from clear.

Leonard Churchill glanced out of the corner of his eye at the pub and saw Elder Clinton running out with the crowd.

He then glanced at Colin who was in the distant caravan, his mind whirling with thoughts.

Just then, assassin Uncle Dave, who had keen senses, as if he had discovered something, said to Sophia Jones, “Commander, many strong presences are approaching. The number of demon beasts attacking the camp this time seems astonishing.”

Bonnie also muttered, “Strange… What drew so many demon beasts to attack the camp?”

Sophia Jones calmly said, “It must be ‘Divine Fragment.'”
Leonard Churchill thought the same.

Demon beasts were more sensitive to extraordinary energy fluctuations than humans.

And there was no better lure than the “Divine Fragment.”

That meant someone in the camp was utilizing the energy of the Divine Fragment, driving the beast tide.

This was great stuff…

Leonard Churchill and their crew had two pieces, but they kept them hidden to avoid trouble.

Someone in the camp must be using a method to release the Divinity from inside the Divine Fragment to attract the demon beasts.

In doing so, they would inevitably expose their location.

Sure enough, just as everyone was talking, suddenly a knight from the Holy Dragon Knights seemed to have found something and hurriedly gathered towards the southeast.

However, before they could surround that building, a “boom” resounded, and a splendid magic glow exploded.

The building was obliterated in smoke and dust.

In an instant, everyone in the camp sensed a divine power so intense it made their souls tremble.

Even Sophia Jones and Leonard Churchill, who had already encountered that fragment, frowned at the sensation.

Leonard Churchill, with his deep eyes, murmured, “The Rank of that Titan Ancient God might not be just any ordinary Divine…”

Sophia Jones also said, “Yeah.”

…

The adventurers in the camp still didn’t understand why there was an explosion or what that heart-palpitating fluctuation was all about.

But the demon beasts were very sensitive.

It was right after the explosion that thunderous roars suddenly erupted from outside the camp.

On the arrow tower, a sentry of certain Realm immediately warned, “Not good! An Eighth-Order [Apocalyptic Thunder Ape] is heading towards the camp!”

An Eighth-Order Magical Beast was already capable of wiping out most mid-to-high-level Adventure Groups.

Hearing this, the small Mercenary Groups that were just excited to hunt outside the camp showed hesitation, seemingly undecided whether to go out or not.

Although Leonard Churchill and his party couldn’t see the situation outside the camp, the sound of thunder already made them feel the oppression from a top-tier magical beast.

Yet, this wasn’t even the most terrifying part.

Suddenly, a “rumbling” sound like a mountain torrent erupted from outside the camp.

The sound rolled in like a tide, rapidly approaching the camp as if countless creatures were flapping their wings.

The sentry atop the tower, as if he had made out the situation, suddenly changed his expression: “It’s bats! A lot of bats!”

Before people clambered to higher points in the camp to check, their vision filled with a dense black tide surging forward.

Looking closely, myriad red dots were scattered through the mass.

Those were pairs of piercing crimson eyes.
