Chapter 297: Chapter 131: Low-Temperature Monsters

When leaving Quan City, it was already past 4 in the afternoon.

Chen Jian led the team northward, reaching the previously settled Plain Town by 6 PM.

He hadn’t planned to stay overnight here, intending to continue north to rest in a more northern Ande, but unexpectedly, he discovered something unusual before entering Plain Town.

The town was unprecedentedly lively, with lights more densely packed than ever before.

A large number of merchants gathered around the town’s perimeter, as if waiting for something.

As soon as the convoy’s bright and dazzling lights appeared, they almost rushed forward impatiently, surrounding the convoy instantly.

"Sir! Sir! Help us!"

"Sir! Something happened in Ande! Please help us!"

"Sir! We are merchants of the Mechanical God Sect, and we’ve just contacted the Holy Hall, which directed us to seek your help!"

"Sir! Have mercy!"

....

The chaotic voices kept sounding, and Chen Jian pushed open the car door, looking at the crowd surrounding him with confusion, instinctively asking:

"What’s going on?"

"Ande City! Two monsters appeared outside Ande City!"

"The Church Protection Army has already left, and now Ande City is an empty city!"

"No one can stop those two monsters, if they really attack Ande, everyone there is doomed!"

Someone in the crowd shouted hoarsely, and the confusion on Chen Jian’s face deepened.

What is going on?

From Huadu to Plain Town, they traveled in less than an hour.

When they were in Huadu, the bishop of the Mechanical God Sect hadn’t mentioned any problems, and then an hour later, monsters appeared?

It’s somewhat unbelievable.

Chen Jian turned back and gave Ji Xing a look, who immediately returned to the car to confirm the situation with the Mechanical God Sect, while Chen Jian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then asked the man claiming to be a merchant from the Mechanical God Sect:

"Are you sure there are monsters near Ande City?"

"No way, how could there be monsters in Ande City..."

Before the man could answer, Xu He, who had also gotten out of the car, staggered over.

"If there are monsters, the Holy Blood Temple would have issued a warning long ago."

"I haven’t heard of any monsters there... they’re just scaring themselves."

"Right, scaring themselves!"

"Even if there were monsters, why come to us!"

"We’re not doing charitable work, and neither are the Holy Blood!"

"There needs to be more payment! Yes, I don’t want money, I want a Brain Machine!"

"Do you have any leads on the Brain Machine? Tell me, do you?"

Having recovered from the shock of "Lin Jing’s death", Xu He reverted to his usual eccentric self. Chen Jian gave him a frown and made a "shut up" gesture, then continued:

"Ignore him."

"Tell me, what’s the situation in Ande City now?"

The man who claimed to be a merchant stepped forward quickly and replied:

"Just like this... this gentleman said, neither the Holy Blood Temple nor the Mechanical God Sect issued a warning."

"But a lot of people indeed saw the monsters!"

"And there are two monsters, I guarantee it wasn’t an illusion!"

"They’re near Ande City. When we saw them, they were less than 10 kilometers from Ande City."

"However, their direction of movement... doesn’t seem to be directly towards Ande City!"

"Understood."

Chen Jian nodded slightly and then asked:

"You said you contacted the Holy Hall, what was their attitude?"

"The Holy Hall believes this may just be a random incident, just a migration of the monsters."

"They’ve mobilized the Church Protection Army from other cities to move to Ande, but it’s too far, and we’re afraid they won’t make it in time."

"Sir, your team is the fastest! I’ve heard stories about the Huaxia Army!"

"I know you are the most powerful Hunters, so we took the risk to ask for your help!"

"We cannot lose Ande, it’s our home... I know this request is presumptuous, but we can offer a reward!"

"We can pay a bounty, just say the word..."

"Let’s not talk about that for now."

Chen Jian interrupted the man, then asked:

"Is there more detailed information? Did everyone here see the monsters?"

"Most people saw them!"

The man quickly nodded.

After some thought, Chen Jian said:

"Organize and gather all the intelligence you have so far and bring it to me."

"If there really are monsters, we’ll go there."

"Okay! Okay! Sir! I’ll do it right away!"

The man excitedly went back into the crowd and quickly dispersed with them.

Chen Jian immediately ordered the drones to be deployed for scouting.

The drone footage streamed to the smart goggles. After a brief glance and confirming no monster traces, Chen Jian handed over the drone control to the War Skull.

At this moment, Lei Jie, who had just come down from 30A, walked up to him and asked:

"Planning to intervene?"

"What else can we do if we ignore it? They’re already at our doorstep asking for help."

Chen Jian exhaled and continued:

"This is actually a good thing—I was worried that our image appeared too aggressive to the ordinary people."

"After all, we fought in Jinling and Huadu, almost all forces in contact with us were hit."

"If that image solidifies, it’ll be hard to change later on."

"But now it seems fine; in their eyes, we’re still more like a powerful ’Monster Hunter’ team."
