634: Cadilla's speculation
Floating Plate.
Outskirts.
"Captain Kadira, Xu Chengshuang has been found!"
"But his position seems to have remained motionless..."
Xing Yue, flying at the forefront of the team like a Dragon Ball radar, suddenly spoke, a hint of pessimism in her tone.
Their seven-person team was currently preparing for a mission related to the Giant Civilization.
In this situation, even if Xu Chengshuang was late, he should have been on his way to rendezvous with the team. What was the meaning of him being motionless?
Xing Yue's words symbolized an unfavorable outcome.
The people behind them fell into a collective silence.
Whoosh, went a sound.
Kadira, who was at the very back of the team, flew directly to Xing Yue's left, and the two walked side by side:
"Exactly where is he?"
After Xing Yue explained the precise location and distance, his speed instantly surged, and in just a flash, he widened the gap between himself and the other five members of the team, quickly heading in a specific direction.
"Let's speed up too. Now is not the time to conserve stamina."
Xing Yue watched Captain Kadira quickly disappear from sight and added.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after, the six people reunited.
This time, their seven-person team was finally "complete."
At this moment, Kadira's expression was extremely grim, like thunderclouds that could burst at any moment in the sky.
On the Surface, a yellow-skinned Hunter foreign race with 27 barbs on its back lay coldly on the ground, almost diagonally cut in half.
The diagonal cut was perfectly placed at the heart, leaving him utterly dead.
"Xu Chengshuang was actually killed by someone!?"
Xing Yue and the others who arrived later exclaimed.
"Who is so bold as to dare attack our Hunter Civilization here? Is it the other two Great Civilizations?"
"No."
Kadira interrupted:
"From the wound, the Giant Civilization can be directly ruled out, and the probability of the Big Eye Civilization is also very small."
"It should be the work of a Small Civilization."
After speaking, he squatted down, placed his hand on Xu Chengshuang's cut, and closed his eyes.
After a while.
"The Martial Skill level of this strike is approximately between 80% and 90% of River Severing, and the wound is very clean."
"It's obvious that Xu Chengshuang was killed by this foreign race in one strike!"
"Considering the above circumstances."
"Without a doubt, the foreign race that attacked was a Domain Warrior from some Small Civilization!"
Kadira made his deduction, but after speaking, he still frowned, his face filled with an unresolved expression:
"But one thing is very strange. From Xu Chengshuang's corpse and wound, why does it look like he was killed after he actively initiated the attack?"
"I admit he has Genius, and he's quite arrogant, often directly attacking foreign races he dislikes or finds interesting."
"But he still understands basic priorities. No matter what, he shouldn't have attacked a Domain Warrior at his current stage, right?"
Just as Kadira was pondering, a Hunter foreign race with 28 barbs on its back from the team walked up.
Then, the barb closest to its head on its back slowly elongated, like an accelerating tree branch.
The very tip of this barb was like a sharp surgical knife, cutting off a small piece of flesh from Xu Chengshuang's wound, then wrapping and encasing it.
Like the feeding method of some plant, it slowly digested it.
A few seconds later:
"Huh?"
"Captain Kadira, the Life Strength of the being that caused this wound is actually the same as ours, an Advanced Aerial Warrior level!"
"Can you determine the Rank range of the attacking foreign race?"
"Mendes, when did you gain this ability?"
"Is it accurate?"
Kadira asked in surprise.
Mendes's Rank was 28, making him second only to Kadira in this team.
Because this team did not have the position of vice-captain, he, like the other two Rank 26 and 27 members in the current team, was considered a team member, with all five being of equal Rank.
"This is a new ability I awakened at Rank 28, called 'Last Words of the Deceased.' Its ability is very singular."
"It can only be used on corpses that have died within three days, and through the wound, it can determine the Life Strength range of the person who caused the wound."
"Because it's a recently awakened ability, and its utility is indeed too limited, you all don't know about it."
Kadira nodded. The reason Yellow Demons were noble was because each barb that grew on their backs had the potential to grant a random ability.
That is, they could potentially gain a new ability with every Rank increase!
Although the probability was not high, and the abilities were completely random, compared to many civilizations that were born with one or no exclusive talents, this ability was undoubtedly too powerful.
"I see. It seems this Small Civilization foreign race's Rank is between 29 and 29.9."
Xing Yue concluded after hearing Kadira's Martial Skill description and Mendes's Rank range description.
"Captain, should we notify the Domain Warriors within the Civilization to come over?"
Xing Yue asked.
In his opinion, if the opponent's Rank was 29.9, that was even higher than Captain Kadira. According to the Hunter Civilization's regulations, such matters should be handled by Martial Artists of higher Rank.
"Idiot, do you want to die?"
Kadira immediately cursed upon hearing this.
"Xu Chengshuang's Genius means he would 100% become a Domain Warrior in the future, and he would definitely be one who could rise above Rank 31, not those pseudo-Domain stage Domain Warriors."
"His death is equivalent to our Hunter Civilization losing a true Domain Warrior!"
"As a team, we bear some responsibility for his death."
"Now, before the mission has even begun, we've lost a super Genius who was guaranteed to reach at least Rank 31. If the higher-ups blame us, I probably won't die, but what about you all?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Yue immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
However, from Kadira's attitude, he clearly wanted to protect his people, as they were teammates who had cooperated for many years, which was not surprising.
Indeed, Kadira immediately added after speaking.
"Let's not report it for now. Let's go directly and capture the foreign race that killed Xu Chengshuang."
"I suspect his Rank is not even 29, and it's quite possible he's only around Rank 27!"
