"This place... was once the Rock Cave Tribe?"
Cynthia's voice carried a trace of disbelief as she looked at the desolate ruins before her.
Kains frowned and nodded, looking around cautiously before stepping forward to examine the site.
On the ground, faint traces of blood could still be discerned, but it had completely darkened.
The entire ruin seemed as if it had been overturned, a scene of utter disarray.
"There was a battle here, I fear... it's been at least three months, and judging from the traces at the scene, it's as if a village had been looted by bandits, with nothing left behind. The Rock Cave Tribe, it seems, was exterminated."
Kains said in a deep voice,
"Three months..."
Cynthia murmured, her eyes reflecting a hint of doubt.
The largest Half-Beast Tribe near the Elf Forest was silently wiped out three months ago, and all this time, there hadn't been a single whisper about it!
*What exactly did they encounter?*
*What happened here?*
