By the time everyone finally realized what had happened, all that was left on the ground were a few stray tufts of fur, some claw prints, and the stench of blood in the air.
The mountain of food had been completely plundered, leaving nothing but a patch of clean-swept earth.
Chu Jing blinked, her expression unchanging for a moment.
After a brief pause, she looked down at her surroundings and murmured, "Did I just... get my food stolen?"
"What just happened? Did I see that correctly?"
Her gaze followed the blurry dark shapes in the distance, her mind filled with doubt.
'Did I really see that thing?'
Hyenas? In the Beast World?
Why would creatures that shouldn't be here appear on the outskirts of the tribe?
Chu Jing blinked again, then raised her hands and rubbed her eyes hard.
'Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me?'
'This is an unfamiliar world, after all,' she tried to comfort herself. 'I still haven't figured everything out...'
