The people in the room stirred.
All eight of them possessed some courage, showing little fear or cowardice.
Some were here to establish themselves, eager to try.
A senior brother from Linfeng Hall with a square face and an aura of determination stepped forward and asked: "Officer Lian, is this the work of the tiger demon?"
As a constable and martial artist for the Guardian Martial Department, Lian Bing stood up, surveyed the surroundings, and said: "From our current information, the tiger demon in the mountains has a taste for human flesh. Although there are no signs of wild beasts here, it's most likely connected to it."
The senior brother asked: "So, the tiger demon is nearby?"
Lian Bing nodded, then shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. This tiger demon moves like the wind, its whereabouts are unpredictable and it might have already left."
After saying this, he ordered gravely: "Search the area to see if there are any traces."
"Yes."
