The rules of the wilderness are cruel and clear: if the Lord from the previous month is successfully hunted down, a new Lord will emerge in the same area by the end of the next month.
Only those villages which failed to eliminate last month's threat will face the return of old enemies.
The long-buried questions in Su Lin's heart can no longer be suppressed at this moment:
"Uncle, wasn't the Lord from last month lured away by my parents using the Beast-Luring Incense, allowing the village to be saved? According to this, since the Lord wasn't eliminated, shouldn't it be the same one this month? Why would there be a new Lord?"
Su Qi's cheek muscles twitched suddenly.
Captain Ye Xin'an and Liu Jun, among others nearby, also had flickering looks in their eyes as they unnaturally avoided meeting Su Lin's gaze.
Seeing these unusual reactions, Su Lin felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He furrowed his brows, his voice also growing heavy:
"What exactly is going on?"
