They managed to find the joint raid troops' camp.
However, their condition looked pitiful. Their faces were dreary, and their bodies were full of wounds. The white bandages that wrapped around their bodies still oozed blood. There wasn't a single healer in sight. They really looked like war victims.
The smile on Guo Chen's face vanished as soon as he saw their conditions. Moreover, many of them were the members of Nine Sky.
"What is this?" The man's voice sounded bitter.
The attention of those people then turned to the troop of the golden-armored and white-robed troops. They seemed surprised by the appearance of Ling Tian and the others.
"Their raid didn't go smoothly," Ling Tian whispered. The man stood beside Isaac.
Isaac did not give any comment. He had already guessed the outcome of the raid.
A man with a battered condition came out of the tent. He was like the other members in this camp. The man's body was wrapped in bandages. One of his legs appeared to be limping. He walked while being assisted with a wooden cane. Even in such a poor condition, his gaze still looked arrogant.
Guo Chen quickly changed his attitude. Meanwhile Ling Tian puffed out his chest proudly, trying to show his authority.
The two people's reaction caught Isaac's attention.
'Don't tell me… he's a Six Star.'
The crippled man stood before them. He just looked at Ling Tian and ignored the rest.
"If the Golden Dragon Guild Master came here to look for us, our condition must be really bad. It's really a shame," he said.
"There's nothing embarrassing about going into a dungeon. Anything can happen, He Dong."
The man called He Dong only nodded his head. His attention was briefly drawn to the figure of the little blue-haired girl beside them. He looked at her for a long moment, then snorted.
Ling Tian immediately understood something was going on between them. He glanced at Isaac, trying to figure out if the man had noticed it or not. Isaac just put on a flat expression on his face.
"You guys always come late. Thinking of being a hero, huh?" He Dong clicked his tounge. "Let's get inside. We have much to discuss."
Ling Tian tried to keep the smile on his face longer. He then ordered his men to rest. Then, he and Isaac entered the tent.
He Dong put on a scornful face.
"Who is this person?" He pointed at Isaac without looking at the man. His eyes fell on Ling Tian instead.
"He's Isaac Constantine. The representative of the Nine Sky guild. I invited them to look for you."
He Dong glanced at Isaac, looking him up and down. He turned his face away and walked back to his tent.
After they were inside, He Dong quickly sat on the seat. The injuries on his body made him look like an old man who was tired from working all day, even though he was only in his thirties.
Isaac looked at him with a disappointed face.
<Information>
[Name: He Dong]
[Race: Human]
[Type: N/A]
[Class: C]
[Level: 55]
'For someone who is considered a Six Star. Even got the nickname One Man Army, he is only to this extent. It looks like I have to visit the Hunter Association next time. I wonder how they determine the rank of each hunter.'
With a class limited to C, He Dong's potential was very limited. In the human world, Isaac saw many hunters who had higher potential than the man who was the pride of the Crimson Dawn guild.
In a way, He Dong was not much different from the average hunter. He just leveling faster than other hunters indeed, making him seem even stronger.
Ling Tian was the first to open the conversation.
"I came here with Golden Dragon and Nine Sky to look for the joint raid. We are asked by the government to check your tracks. Honestly, I don't know if finding you guys is good or bad news."
He said in a concerned tone, while He Dong only snorted.
"You think the camp filled with injured and disabled people can still be called good news?" He Dong chuckled.
Ling Tian was silent for a moment. He felt guilty.
"You can still be arrogant in such a condition. I think that's good news."
Isaac said calmly. Of course, his words offended the man who became the pride of Crimson Dawn. He Dong raised one eyebrow and looked at Isaac with an irritated look.
Meanwhile, Ling Tian hissed. He tried to restrain himself from uttering insulting words, but Isaac broke them in seconds.
"For that bitch's underling, you're so brave, huh?" He Dong said in a low and intimidating tone.
"For a battered person struggling to walk, you are quite arrogant. "
"You—keeuuugh!"
He Dong wanted to get up and grab Isaac by the collar, but the wound in his stomach opened up again. Whether he liked it or not, he had to give it up for now.
Ling Tian quickly spread his arms in front of Isaac's chest. "Please, Brother Isaac. He's probably been through a lot."
He tried to signal Isaac to watch his word. Ling Tian wanted to avoid causing any trouble. However, Isaac didn't care about such a thing.
"Look at your condition. You're like a dying dog waiting to die. You already know the reason we came here. So, stop this bullshit and tell me what has happened. Stop wasting our precious time."
He Dong's face looked bright red. Blood pooled on his face due to anger. After being part of the Six Stars for so long, he was finally being humiliated again for the first time.
He wanted to burn Isaac right here and right now. However, with his current conditions, it was impossible. Moreover, Ling Tian was by the man's side. There was no way the man would stay silent.
In the end, he had to give in.
He Dong clicked his tongue. "You have enough guts. I think Nine Sky's people are just cowards."
The man still did not want to end up being humiliated. On the other hand, Isaac was silent.
He could actually shut the man's mouth and make him get even angrier, but he didn't have time for that. Isaac wanted to finish his business in this place quickly and leave right away.
Ling Tian cleared his throat, trying to break the sour mood.
"If you're still here, then the others are still alive. So, where are the others?"
He Dong's face quickly darkened. He looked away and hissed for a moment. Then, he looked at Ling Tian with an annoyed look mixed with sorrow.
"Maybe they're all dead."
