Outside Shisu Town lay the only road to the Northern Mountain region.
It was a path paved with mountain stone, less than five meters wide. In the past, this area was overgrown with weeds and home to wild beasts, making it a natural hunting ground for many. However, ever since news broke that a fragment of an ancient map had appeared in the Northern Mountain region, the vegetation had been trampled flat, leaving only bare earth. Despite the time that had passed, a steady stream of people still made their way to the mountains along this route.
At this very moment, everyone on the path, whether they were heading up the mountain or coming down, stopped dead in their tracks. Their eyes were all fixed on a patch of barren land before them, where fresh blood stained the brown stones crimson. The gruesome scene was shocking, enough to send a chill down anyone's spine. It was brutally violent.
CLANG!
