They hadn't walked far before they noticed something strange up ahead.
"It looks like a huge battle happened here."
Zhou Chao crouched, examining the marks on the ground.
The ground was covered in a chaotic jumble of bizarre marks. Some looked like the claw marks of a beast, others were the scars of weapons, and still others were the unidentifiable footprints of some unknown creature.
Moreover, the forest ahead looked as if it had been sheared in half by something incredibly sharp.
Some trees were stuck crookedly in the earth, while others had been stripped of all their branches, leaving only bare trunks.
A strange, grim aura filled the air, with shattered leaves and fragments dancing on the wind. Zhou Chao gently caught a piece and examined it for a moment.
"Is this... metal?"
He handed the fragment to Li Luo in confusion, who took it with curiosity.
"It's definitely metal. A tiny metal fragment."
