Li Chen knew the strength of those monsters all too well. Moreover, the expanse of the ruins was so vast that even he didn't know how many of them lay hidden within. This possible Beast Tide filled Li Chen with immense pressure.
"The ruins..."
Thinking back to the words An Qin had penned in the note before she left, Li Chen's heart was fraught with intrigue. What exactly lay hidden within those ruins?
While he was indeed curious to discover what the ruins concealed, all inquiries would have to wait until after the imminent crisis was resolved.
