Right at that moment, they suddenly heard rumbling from a distance. It was like massive hooves were racing across the grounds. They noticed it at the same time, and all of them stood up to look into the distance. Yet, their vision had been obscured by the hills. Dagda frowned as he patted Airn on the back. "I'll go take a look. All of you, wait here!"

The moment he said that, Dagda shot up into the air to look at the situation. Looking around, Dagda's heart almost jumped out of his chest. A mature Crimson Tortoise was rushing toward them from the left, while a massive Ice Toad was leaping their way from the right. There was even a Red Fox Beast charging at them from behind.

The three beasts all had warriors who were wearing the same clothes in front of them, leading the beasts with the eight warriors at the center! Dagda's face darkened, immediately realizing how bad the situation was. It reeked of a plot.

The eight of them had probably been targeted by the warriors from second-grade worlds. Their Heartbloods were probably the cause of this ambush. About one kilometer away from Dagda, Fane and Rudy stood on a hill, frowning as they looked right at Dagda's direction. They could see Dagda in the air at that moment.

"It's true after all. This is really happening!" exclaimed Rudy anxiously. "To kill others, there's nothing they won't do!"

Right after he said that, Rudy turned

to look at Fane. He wanted to ask Fane if they should save those eight pitiful warriors, but he swallowed his words before he said that. He did not want to disturb Fane's thoughts.

Fane narrowed his eyes. "This isn't right. We can't be reckless right now."

Rudy looked at Fane curiously. "What's wrong?"

Fane took a deep breath as he turned to look around. However, the hills obstructed most of his vision, and he could not see anything at all.

Fane frowned, thinking about it seriously. "In the first place, they shouldn't be doing all this just to kill those people."Property © .

Fane was incredibly sure as he said that, and Rudy blinked, asking, "And why isn't killing their sole purpose? What else do they want? Could they be aiming for Heartblood?"

Fane nodded, answering, "Their

main aim should be to get Heartblood. Let me ask you: how have the warriors from

second-grade worlds been treating

the warriors from third-grade g

worlds? Do they hate the warriors from third-grade worlds as much as the other way around?"

Rudy thought about it earnestly and shook his head. "No. There's not much hatred in it. The warriors from second-grade worlds just treat third-grade-world warriors as lambs for slaughter. They see warriors from third-grade worlds as livestock, and nothing comes from true hatred."

Fane took a deep breath and nodded honestly. "That's why there's something wrong."
