In no time, the swarm of Flying Beasts that had encircled them dispersed quickly. To their surprise, not only did the beasts retreat, but they also took away the bodies of their fallen comrades, leaving no trace of flesh behind, only bloodstains.
The large creatures vanished swiftly into the night.
Silence returned once more to the surroundings.

After a long while, Qu Tan'er, feeling tired from standing, lazily squatted against the wall, staring intently at the massive creature on the roof opposite. She whispered to Mo Liancheng, "Chengcheng, what do you think it wants?"
Mo Liancheng tidied his clothes and said with a faint smile, "It... seems quite curious about you."
"Uh..." Qu Tan'er was speechless.
