Chapter 309 The Two in a Disheveled State
Under the blazing sun and its holy glow, two figures scrambled ashore from the sea, soaked to the bone and panting heavily. Their clothes clung to their bodies, revealing their disheveled state, and their faces showed both exhaustion and anger.
It was none other than Ghost Cry and Ghost Kai who had secretly infiltrated Sky Island a few days ago!
The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, seemed to mock their disheveled appearance. The two men exchanged a glance, both able to conceal their anger.
"Devil May Cry, what the hell is going on?!"
Gui Kai plopped down on the beach, shaking his seawater-covered hair, his tone full of complaint, "Didn't you say there would only be one Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast on the Sky Island at most? And what happened? Three! Three of them!"
Gui Kai was furious. He held up three fingers and unleashed a barrage of attacks at Gui Qi.
"Three Radiant Orange-level monsters! One of them can even fly! Do you know we almost got wiped out this time?!"
Ghost Cry's face was grim, a hint of coldness in his eyes. He glanced down at his battered boots, soaked in seawater, then looked up and coldly replied, "Ghost Kai, do you think I don't want to find out what's going on? The intelligence I received confirmed that there was only one Radiant Orange-level beast on the sky island. Who knew three would appear?! Do you think I don't want to live?!"
"Bullshit! Your intelligence is nothing but a fabrication!" Gui Kai slapped the beach in anger, sending up a cloud of sand. "Dozens of men! Dozens of men just vanished like that!"
And all the ferocious beasts we brought are just left in that godforsaken place! Even my Radiant Orange-level Crimson Sun Eagle was torn to shreds by that flying Holy Radiance Thunder Roc! Do you even know how much we lost this time?!
Upon hearing the words "Crimson Sun Eagle," Ghost Cry's expression darkened further. He gritted his teeth, his voice low and icy: "You think you're the only one who suffered heavy losses? Most of the people and beasts that died on the Sky Island were mine!"
"Those elite subordinates, weren't they all trained by me at great expense? And Thunder Leopard! My Thunder Leopard was also a Radiant Orange-level creature, and it was blasted to smithereens by that Flaming Dragon Rhinoceros in one blow! Do you think I'm not heartbroken?!"
Mentioning the Thunder Leopard, a flicker of pain flashed in Ghost Cry's eyes. This Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast was one of his most capable combatants, having served him the longest and made countless contributions.
But now, not even his remains can be found. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his chest heaved violently; clearly, he could no longer contain his rage.
"Damn it!" Devil May Cry suddenly slammed his fist into the ground, creating a deep crater in the sand. "It's all Vista's fault! If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened! That bastard, it's a good thing he died early, otherwise, even if he hadn't died, I would have torn him to pieces with my own hands!"
Ghost Kai's expression darkened upon hearing the name Vista. He sneered, his tone filled with disdain: "Vista? Ha, didn't you see how badly that woman tortured him? You wanted to tear him apart? Now you probably won't even find a bone fragment."
Ghost Cry sneered, his eyes filled with resentment: "So what if he's dead? Does his death make up for my loss? This operation was originally his idea. He said there was a Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast on the Sky Island. If we killed it, we could get a Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast core and also seize the resources of the Sky Island."
And what happened? He died a clean death, but we all suffered because of him! That woman let him off easy by killing him. If I had caught him, I would have made him die ten times worse than he did now!
Gui Kai didn't reply, but simply watched Gui Qi in silence. He knew Gui Qi's anger was unquenchable, because the losses this time were far too great for them.
Dozens of elite subordinates, orange-level ferocious beasts, and the resources originally intended to be seized from the sky island all vanished into thin air. The culprit behind all this was already dead at someone else's hands, making it impossible to trace.
But a flicker of realization crossed Gui Kai's eyes! He seemed to have thought of something…
The two remained silent for a while, with only the sound of waves crashing on the beach echoing in their ears. Gui Kai finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Ghost Cry, now is not the time to assign blame. Vista is dead, and there's no use in blaming him. The most important thing right now is for us to find a way to make up for this loss."
Ghost Cry sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Make up for the losses? How can we make up for them? Can those dead subordinates be resurrected? Can those ferocious beasts return? The Radiant Orange-level Thunder Leopard and the Radiant Orange-level Crimson Sun Eagle are irreplaceable! This loss is simply impossible to make up for!"
Gui Kai frowned, his tone softening slightly: "I suddenly thought of something. Don't you think there's something strange about those people who appeared on the Sky Island?"
"Strange?" Ghost Cry asked in confusion.
Gui Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was recalling something. His fingertips tapped lightly on his knee, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on his lips.
After a moment, he slapped his forehead, his voice tinged with surprise: "I remember now! I've seen that woman before!"
Devil May Cry frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "Seen it? Where did you see it? Don't fucking lie!"
Gui Kai ignored Gui Qi's doubts, stood up, dusted off the sand, and said with a hint of excitement, "It was after the riot at the Fox Camp!"
I happened to be visiting the Foxna camp at the time, and it was in complete chaos, with countless dead and wounded. Later, a wanted poster was issued, and the culprit was that woman!
"Fox Camp?" Ghost Cry's brows furrowed even more, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? Who is that woman? What's her name?"
Gui Kai nodded, his tone certain: "That's right! I remember it very clearly, the name written on the wanted poster is 'Lia,' and the appearance in the portrait is exactly the same as the woman we saw on the sky island! She is the culprit behind the riot at the Foxna Camp!"
Upon hearing the name "Lia," Devil May Cry's expression immediately turned grim. He remained silent for a moment, seemingly recalling something, before coldly saying, "Lia... I think I've heard that name before."
The riot at Foxna's camp caused quite a stir at the time, and the higher-ups even sent people to investigate. I heard that woman is no ordinary person; her strength is ridiculously high, and she supposedly has a group of mysterious followers who are ruthless and merciless killers.
Gui Kai's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes: "That's right, it's her! The higher-ups took this matter very seriously at the time, and the bounty was astronomical, but there was still no trace of her."
Unexpectedly, she's gone to a sky island! If we report her whereabouts, hehe, we might get a pretty good reward!
Ghost Cry snorted coldly, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "A reward? You think reporting her whereabouts will make up for our losses?"
Don't forget, this operation failed, and we've already lost dozens of elite subordinates and two Radiant Orange-level ferocious beasts. No matter how much reward they offer, it can't compensate for our losses!
