Upon learning this news, Yakoda's tone was clearly filled with surprise and fear.

"No way? He's going to keep getting stronger? What is that guy trying to do?"

"What exactly happened here?"

The travelers who had just arrived asked Paimon, and Philinus gave them an explanation.

"Since we separated a few days ago, we have been on high alert for another attack by the Moon Hunters."

However, it was as if he had vanished from this land; no one had seen him or sensed his presence.

This morning, the Lamplighters, on their usual patrol, discovered traces of the Wild Hunt. The Crystal Stone was intact, but the lunar moment force it contained was completely depleted.

"Was it made by the Moon Hunters?"

"Such a large-scale undertaking, no one else but him could do it."

Ai Nuo said angrily.

"The lost lunar torque has exceeded the critical value, and we have raised the threat level of the Lunar Hunters to the highest level."

Warning! If the numbers continue to rise, it will become a calamity that humanity cannot overcome.

Ineff's warning was even more disheartening.

"Traveler, do you remember when the hunter was first resurrected? At that time, he showed no rationality, only hatred and madness."

"Yes, she was indeed in great danger at that time."

"Yes, I remember he called out several names and said, 'This world is irrelevant to me.'"

"Thinking about it now still sends chills down my spine. The thought of that guy hiding in Nordkale, not knowing when he might reappear, gives me a cold sweat."

Paimon's fear is understandable; it's normal to feel fear when facing such a powerful and treacherous enemy.

"In our last encounter, we were already at a disadvantage. With such immense power, why has he suddenly chosen to lie low?"

"That's right! If I were a Moon Hunter and wanted to continue restoring the Moon's Gamma Force, I could openly plunder it; there's no need to resort to this sneaky method."

Could it be that something happened to him? After all, that resurrection didn't go smoothly.

"And another thing, how can a madman so silently conceal his presence?"

"I don't understand this either."

"According to some medical data, crazy people may not necessarily be irrational; they may simply be living in their own world."

Paimon agreed with Ineff's explanation.

"Living in his own world, that guy really did talk to himself the whole time and had absolutely no desire to communicate with us."

"It's full of mysteries, danger is all around us, yet we know nothing about him."

Aside from the title of Moon Hunter, we know nothing about his past or his purpose.

Yakoda chimed in, "We don't even know where to begin our investigation. Even my boss had never heard of the Moon Hunters before."

I bet even if you gathered all the intelligence in the entire Nordkalai, you wouldn't get more than three useful pieces of information about the Moon Hunters.

"If we leave him alone, we can only watch him grow stronger, and if we investigate, we won't know where to begin."

Even with the puppet and her giant robot's help last time, we still struggled. If we were to encounter the Moon Hunter alone...

Ugh, my head hurts so much. What am I supposed to do about this huge crisis?

Paimon has racked his brains but still doesn't know what to do.

After a moment of silence, it was Philin who broke it again.

"Regarding his movements, I have a guess: since the Moon Hunters attacked the quarry, they might also target other places filled with lunar torque."

For example, places like the Eye of Cerati and the Pillars of Ebra, if we let it continue absorbing the Moon's energy, then we truly have no chance of winning.

"It's a reasonable assessment, but it should be pointed out that these locations are very scattered, so the investigation would have to be carried out separately."

"I think we can investigate separately. The hunters' current goal is to collect Moonlight Force, so they shouldn't fight us to the death. We can meet up on Xixi Island after the investigation is over."

Lauma was somewhat surprised to hear that Philin was going to meet up with her on Xixi Island.

"To Xixi Island?"

"I remember that the largest statue in your area was also carved from a mineral that contained lunar torque."

"Indeed, that place could also be targeted by the Moon Hunters. I need to go back and evacuate the people."

Lauma went ahead first.

"To be honest, there are bound to be risks in conducting separate investigations. But there's no perfect strategy at this point; it's all a race against time."

These words were spoken by Aino. Although she was young, she was sometimes more composed than adults.

Those watching the celestial canopy were amazed by their composure in the face of the crisis.

If they were facing such a powerful and terrifying enemy, could they still remain so calm and composed?

They've probably already lost their sense of proportion and don't even know what to do anymore.

Even worse, some will completely give up and wait for the enemy to come to them, only to face death.

Qian Daoliu and Poseidon were also questioning themselves: if they were in the same situation, would they be able to lead the Spirit Hall or Seagod Island to deal with the powerful and terrifying external enemy?

They themselves might be brave enough to fight, but organizing their subordinates to fight calmly and methodically is almost impossible.

And they are even less capable of uniting the various factions of Nordkare to fight against the Lunarians, as they have done on the Sky Curtain.

When a crisis strikes, people's hearts are most restless and most prone to collapse.

It was already a miracle that Lauma was able to persuade the people of Nasha Town all by herself.

At this moment, images of the group investigating various locations in Nordkale flashed across the screen.

Finally, everyone gathered on Xixi Island again.

"Any clues?"

"Not at all. That guy is like a ghost; I have no idea where he's hiding."

We're like holding a powder keg that could explode at any moment. Damn it, we might as well just give up.

"You didn't find anything either?"

The traveler and Paimon also came over.

"That 'also' sounds really sad, sigh, Philins, what about you?"

"I asked some of the lamplighters and eventually identified a suspicious person, but when I found his residence, he had already disappeared."

It was as if he knew someone was investigating him, or perhaps he was simply being cautious and unwilling to stay in one place for long.

In summary, there are still no clues.

"Having lay low for so long, what will his next target be?"

"I don't know. After he was resurrected, the fragments in my possession were meaningless to him."

And even if he wanted it, he could just come and get it; there were plenty of opportunities.

"We can only hope that Aino and Inef can find some clues. You despicable Moon Hunters, come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare."

Yakoda shouted out in a simple way to vent her frustration.
