"They came following the scent." Understanding Chi Yan's intention, he sped up his movements and quickly threw the corpses of the Giant Crocodile Beasts into the water.

As the night deepened, more and more Vulture Beasts circled above the stream. Some of the bolder ones landed directly on the riverbank to feast on the dead Giant Crocodile Beasts.
