The legendary warrior Chapter 260 An Eerie Surge Of Beasts.

"True. When a normal surge of beasts occurs, nearly all the beasts are on the prowl, roaming around
madly." Kristen nodded.

A few seconds later, her eyes lit up as if she had sensed something.

Tyson's eyes met Kristen's. He also sensed that something anomalous was brewing.

"I am sure you have recognized it already. Now think about the surge of beasts that happened about
ten days ago. I can discern that there is something unusual going on. Nearly all the beasts were not
frenzied then," Ricky explained.

"You can see it during the course of your previous hunts."

"It's true, I have noticed it as well. I have been fighting with these beasts more than I can count. I have
seen them in their actual strength and they are not to be overlooked, especially in their state of
madness!" Tyson agreed.

"Then, is it safe to say that this eerie surge of beasts was not a normal surge of beasts?" Kristen
speculated.

"Maybe," Ricky replied.

"But, these countless beasts attacked the whole Chaotic Region. Isn't that a normal surge? Even if
these beasts were controlled by the tamers from our region, it is still questionable how they can
manage such a vast number of them." Kristen furrowed her eyebrows trying to put two and two
together.

"For those beast tamers who are able to control all the wild beasts in this Chaotic Region, it's worthless
to launch a fake surge of beasts, because they think nothing of us and our belongings."



"Ah, it can't be the beast tamer. The beast tamer only launches an attack to plunder resources. But you
see, this surge went out suddenly and unexpectedly," Ricky explained.

"There is also something unusual going on with them. When they retreated, they carried two or three
bodies of dead warriors with them!"

"Indeed! I remember it, too. It's a good thing you mentioned that part, Russell. I nearly forgot that they
carried bodies with them!" Tyson exclaimed. He finally figured out the pieces of the puzzle.

"It's very strange, indeed. Coupled with the fact that these beasts are not in a state of madness, this
surge will really make people wonder if it is a normal one!" Kristen interjected.

They were all in contemplation as they tried to figure out what was going on.

...

"It's very puzzling. What is happening?" Tyson's impatient voice broke the silence, "Let's not think
about it for now. We'll be out of our minds the longer we try to solve this one."

"The surge is over, anyway. We don't have to worry about it any further. We should put it at the back of
our heads."

"Tyson, we have all day. There's no rush. I think Bastian should probably be back anyway." Ricky
smiled at Tyson, and hoped that this could comfort him.

"What do you mean?" Tyson asked, perplexed by Ricky's attitude.

"I sent out Bastian to the mountains to get information the other day," Ricky explained.

"It turns out you have been trying to figure out everything from the start," Tyson quipped.



"I'm not alone. Before I sent out Bastian, some other gangs had already begun their action. I think the
forces in the Upper Region and the Lower Region will also send out warriors because we are all in the
same boat."

"Leaders, can I come in?" Before Ricky could say anything further, a familiar voice was heard outside.

"Speaking of the devil. Bastian's finally here at last!" Tyson laughed.

...

"Bastian, my elder brother, how's it going? Have you uncovered something new?" Ricky asked as they
gathered in the room.

"As you have expected, nearly all forces in the Chaotic Region have sent warriors to the depths of the
mountains to size up the situation," Bastian reported.

"Just as I expected!" Ricky confirmed.

"Although we did find something unusual in the depths of the mountains," Bastian stated.

"What?" Tyson asked eagerly as he eagerly waited for new information.

"It's dry and hot in the depths of the Chaotic Mountains. I find it weird that there was a strong smell of
blood in the air as well."

"There is also one other thing. The dead bodies of the ferocious beasts and warriors in and around the
mountains suddenly disappeared without a trace. Those ferocious beasts and warriors died about ten
days ago. Logically, even if their dead bodies decay faster due to the scorching weather, the skeletal
remains should be found somewhere!"



"However, even a single bone was nowhere to be found! Besides, at the time the beast were retreating,
many corpses of warriors were carried away along with them. It makes it even more clear that this
surge of beasts is not a normal one."

"There must be something going on behind this attack." Kristen, Tyson, and Ricky felt a massive
haywire of emotions well up.

"Bastian, do other gangs have any plans?" Ricky wondered.

"They speculated that the beasts were terrified by the advent of something or living things in the depths
of the Chaotic Mountains. I expect lots of warriors will go into the mountains very soon to find out what
happened," Bastian answered.

"We have to march into the Chaotic Mountains to figure out what's going on," Ricky suggested.

...

A few minutes later, they began to consult on candidates for the exploration. Finally, Ricky, Tyson, and
Bastian were chosen.

Trent was needed to stay home and develop production, while Kristen had to watchfully guard the
Manor Gang.

Ricky, on the other hand, had no intention of taking other gang members with them.

Because it was too risky to march into the depths of the mountains this time, given the current situation.

...

After their preparations for the exploration were complete, Ricky, Tyson and Bastian began their
course. As said by Bastian, both the Upper Region and the Middle Region had sent out warriors to find



out the truth.

"Hopefully, this will be another eventful exploration!" Ricky sighed, feeling lots of emotions well up.

He once had a premonition that if some kind of treasure was discovered in this Chaotic Region,
disastrous bloody clashes would be inevitable. Especially in this situation where all sorts of people
were mixed up.

However, they did not overthink the issue. They just raced into the depths of the mountains, and tried to
avoid other warriors.

When they reached their destination, Ricky and Tyson experienced the scorching heat Bastian
mentioned. It was scalding and sweltering, as if the place itself was forged in fire.

To make matters worse, the stench of death was everywhere. They all felt light-headed and dizzy as
soon as they arrived.

"I have heard of the surge of beasts before. But, it's so hot here and all the corpses of the

beasts and warriors had disappeared without a trace. There must be something odd going on. I must
uncover its secrets." Despite this, Tyson determinedly continued to trek through their journey.

"Let's move on first!"

...

When they arrived, they saw the place surrounded with beasts everywhere. The vicious beasts were in
packs, patrolling clockwise around the valley. It was as if they were safeguarding something very
important in there.



Moreover, it seemed that the source of the dryness and extreme heat can be found in the depths of the
valley.

And, outside the valley, the stench of decomposing corpses pervaded.

"It seems that the answer to the mystery of the eerie surge of beasts lies in this valley," Ricky
murmured.
