A group of people entered the vicinity of the crack in twos and threes.
There were members of the Cannibal Tribe around the crack as well.
Those members of the Cannibal Tribe didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Chen and his companions.
Angelina followed Jiang Chen into Different Worlds. Just as they entered, they encountered Guards from the Cannibal Tribe and also smelled the foul stench emanating from their bodies.
Evans was right; the Cannibal Tribe looked almost the same as the Human Race.
Besides the different body odor, there was no distinction at all.
The Cannibal Tribe Guards on both sides also didn't notice anything odd about Jiang Chen, as if in their eyes, he was one of their own.
When it came to smell, the Cannibal Tribe was extremely sensitive, able to detect scents from tens of meters away.
Angelina was startled and nearly retched from the foul smell, her heartbeat quickening as she clutched tightly to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen patted Angelina's right hand.
"I'm here!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen smelled the stench of stinky tofu filling the streets.
Uh...
Jiang Chen swallowed, his appetite whetted.
This was a small town, with members of the Cannibal Tribe gathering in twos and threes, seemingly discussing something.
"Caught a young girl today, her flesh was so delicious!"
"What about the heart?"
"Naturally, ate it."
"What about the brain matter?"
"Ate that too."
"Did you add seasoning?"
"She was still alive when I ate her."
Jiang Chen was speechless. It seemed like everyone on the street was discussing this, and most of them were eating their victims raw.
Eating raw? Without even adding cumin, five-spice powder, or anything! Barbecuing it would be an option too!
The two walked through the main street and out of the small town. Jiang Chen glanced north, where a small hill stood. He led Angelina in that direction, and they made their way through the dense forest.
After a while, Jiang Chen saw that Evans had been waiting for a long time.
「Meanwhile, in the town.」
Two Heroes walked along and accidentally bumped into a group from the Cannibal Tribe. The Heroes hurriedly apologized, "Sorry."
This was originally a trivial matter.
But in the eyes of the Cannibal Tribe, it was a big problem.
The Cannibal Tribe wouldn't say such words.
Just as the Heroes were about to leave, an arrow pierced one Hero's arm, drenching it in blood. Instantly, the surrounding Cannibal Tribe members seemed to smell something, all turning their gaze to the two Heroes.
Blood... Delicious blood. This is the scent of blood.
Although the Heroes carried the potion-induced stench of the Cannibal Tribe, the moment one was injured and their true blood flowed, its scent was overwhelmingly appetizing to the cannibals.
"They are Heroes."
"Damn Heroes! How dare they intrude upon our territory!"
"Such delicious blood."
"I need his heart."
"I want his brain matter."
The two Heroes' complexions changed drastically, and they instantly drew their Weapons. One Hero was an assassin and immediately activated a stealth Skill, trying to become invisible.
But in a moment, a terrifyingly large hand grasped him.
Then came a swarm of Cannibal Tribe members.
Evans counted their numbers and immediately furrowed his brows; they were two people short. Missing two people meant danger.
There were only two possibilities.
The first was deserting just before the battle.
The second, more dangerous possibility, was that they had been discovered and killed by the Cannibal Tribe.
"No big deal, I think they've already run away," someone said.
"Those two definitely didn't enter Different Worlds."
"Captain, no need to wait, they've probably left," another chimed in.
Jiang Chen looked back towards the town. He had just clearly heard screams—a sign they were discovered. What bad luck to be found so quickly.
No wonder the reward was so generous; it truly was an SS-grade mission.
Far too dangerous.
Evans's plan was simple. After entering Different Worlds, they would establish a Teleportation Array not far from the town. If danger arose, they could immediately use the array to teleport back. The plan involved using Potions to infiltrate the town and then make their escape from the Cannibal Tribe's world.
If they could rescue Bartley, that would be best, but if not, they could still leave easily.
Bloodstains remained in the town, but the two Heroes had vanished without a trace. All that was left were torn garments, a large pile of equipment, and several bottles of Grey Potion.
CRACKLE...
A Cannibal Tribe Guard stepped on a Grey Potion, which emitted a rotten stench. The Guard crouched down and touched the Potion, a look of understanding dawning on its face.
It quickly picked up the remaining bottles and headed for the main camp.
「Inside the main camp.」
Majori looked at the Potions on the table. "This is a Magic Potion from Titan World," Majori said. "It can mimic our scent for a short time. It seems they've infiltrated our world."
"Send out the order immediately! Have everyone on high alert. An enemy has infiltrated our camp, searching for the All-God Continent's Heroes!"
「To the north.」
Evans instructed, "Teleporter, set up a Teleportation Array immediately! It's our only way out. If the array is destroyed, we'll be trapped in the Cannibal Tribe's world."
Jiang Chen said, "I just heard Heroes screaming. It's very likely the two missing members have been discovered."
Evans's face paled.
The same went for the rest.
If they were discovered, that meant their whereabouts were exposed. How could they continue the rescue then?
"No way, why didn't we hear anything?" someone asked.
"If that's the case, does it mean this mission can't be completed?" another wondered.
"What's next, continue the rescue plan or leave the Cannibal Tribe's world?"
"If we've been found, can we even leave?"
"We've just arrived. If we act now, while they haven't fully reacted, we could fight our way out of the Cannibal Tribe's world," one suggested.
Dozens of people began to discuss.
Being discovered as soon as they arrived—how could they carry out the mission?
How could they rescue anyone?
Evans said gravely, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "I'm not certain it was the Heroes, but I definitely heard screams—two distinct sets. There's a high probability they were discovered."
"Of course, it's also possible that the Cannibal Tribe captured someone else."
Evans immediately gave the order.
Three Teleporters began chanting swiftly to set up the Teleportation Array.
Evans ordered twenty people to stay behind to protect the Teleportation Array.
Taking the remaining people, he left the town and took a path toward the Pokala Region.
The group passed through dense woods, quickly heading north. A continuous mountain range appeared before them. To avoid drawing attention, they could only take narrow paths and couldn't summon their mounts.
Angelina whispered, "Jiang Chen, I feel like this is very dangerous!"
"The prize is a set of Legendary Equipment, so of course it's risky," Jiang Chen assured her. "But don't worry, I'm here. The prize is just a bonus; we're here to raise our Levels."
A twitch formed at the corner of Evans's mouth.
Good heavens, coming to Titan World to raise their Levels?
Titan World offered high experience, but it was incredibly dangerous—far more so than other worlds. The Cannibal Tribe was known to eat humans; they were swift and brutal killers. Some victims weren't even fully dead before they became food, forced to watch helplessly as their own bodies were dismembered.
The group hurried along the road, heading for the Pokala Region.
「Two hours later.」
A dark shadow flew across the sky...
