Chapter 797: Chapter 496 Trap!_2

“Then let’s set off. Just to be safe, it’s better we stick together.”

“Soon, we’ll be searching for traces of Abyss Demons all over the continent. Although we’re still facing those mercenaries this time, this is also our team’s first attempt to venture into other races’ territories!”

“We must succeed!”

Xia Zuo spoke to his companions in a low but serious tone.

The other elves nodded solemnly, their expressions serious.

Sometimes, Xia Zuo really had leadership qualities!

After Erik checked the map to confirm their location, he led everyone toward the Mercenary Tavern.

…

The setting sun slanted westward, draping the city built against the mountain in a warm-colored overcoat of sunlight.

Xia Zuo and Erik stood at a corner of a dilapidated alley, looking around with slightly troubled expressions.

The other elves stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the two team leaders to appear.

“I think that information merchant definitely knows something…”

Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath.

Today, he and Erik hadn’t stopped running around Acot City. They had gone to the Mercenary Tavern and the usual places for information merchants, yet they had not obtained any valuable information.

It seemed that no one knew anything about the Mosa squad of the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group.

However, at the Mercenary Tavern, Erik managed to get the address of this underground information merchant from the tavern servant, hoping to try their luck just in case.

Though the merchant claimed to know about the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group, he had never heard of the name Mosa.

Although the merchant hid it well, even trying to sell other information about the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group to Xia Zuo, as a Ranger, he noticed a moment of hesitation and shock on the man’s face when he heard the name.

However, no matter how much Xia Zuo and Erik asked, even offering a large sum of money, the skinny information merchant still shook his head and firmly denied any knowledge of it.

Seeing no other option, Xia Zuo and Erik decided to leave.

Since they were in the Royal Capital of the Bolin Kingdom, they also had to be mindful of their impact.

“What should we do now?”

Erik asked Xia Zuo in a soft voice.

Xia Zuo shook his head slightly, unsure of what to decide.

“Head back now?”

Erik suggested.

In addition to them, there were two other Elf Teams waiting outside the city, ready to coordinate with Xia Zuo’s team.

Xia Zuo’s team was the first to enter Acot City to gather information, but given the current situation, Xia Zuo found it difficult to decide.

Although no one had set a time limit for Xia Zuo, he felt embarrassed to return empty-handed without finding anything.

Especially since Cendelle’s team was also outside the city, Xia Zuo subconsciously didn’t want to return just like that and lose face.

“No rush, we still have time. Let’s investigate again tomorrow, and if there’s still nothing, then we will head back.”

After some thought, Xia Zuo decided,

“What next?”

“Let’s go to our base first.”

Erik said to Xia Zuo.

Their base, referred to by him, was the residence of the Illiser family in Acot City.

After Lis formed ‘Nature’s Wrath,’ these places had become territories and strongholds for the organization, places where its members could rest.

Just as a few elves were preparing to head to their base according to the map, suddenly, a figure flashed by on the street ahead.

“Captain!”

The others didn’t notice, but suddenly, one of the elves in the group spoke up,

“Walker, what’s wrong?”

Xia Zuo asked quietly.

“That figure just now, he had a tattoo of the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group on his right arm!”

Walker confidently stated, as the member of the team with the best eyesight, he was sure of his assertion.

“A member of the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group?”

Xia Zuo murmured to himself pensively.

“Something’s off, Xia Zuo!”

Erik looked over, his expression somber.

“How could it be such a coincidence that we’re looking for someone from the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group, and just happen to see someone with their tattoo right in front of us?”

“I know.”

Xia Zuo nodded, remaining silent for a moment before saying:

“Walker, come with me to follow him.”

“No problem.”

The Ranger named Walker promptly responded.

“Erik, don’t go to the base with the others, head to the outskirts and find Cendelle and her team.”

“I’ll leave you a mark, and you all can follow it later.”

“No, I disagree.”

Erik shook his head and said:

“You know it’s a trap, so why jump into it?”

“They clearly know we are from ‘Nature’s Wrath,’ yet they still do this, they must be relying on something.”

“But it’s also a rare opportunity, isn’t it?”

Xia Zuo was aware of the risk, but he also didn’t want to miss this valuable opportunity,

especially since they had discovered some clues after achieving nothing all day, even if it was just bait he was prepared to follow.

Seeing Erik still preparing to convince him, Xia Zuo waved his hand to cut him off.

“Alright, I know what I’m doing.”

“You know, I have my confidence.”

Seeing this, Erik knew Xia Zuo had made up his mind,

and knowing his back-up, Erik truly didn’t need to worry about Xia Zuo’s safety.

After making a quick decision, Erik didn’t hesitate, nodding and quickly leading the others away.

“Let’s go, Walker!”

Xia Zuo and Walker immediately rushed in the direction where the shadow had vanished.

As they turned a street corner, the suspicious figure appeared again in their view.

It seemed as if he was waiting for them, and he quickly ran off in a secluded direction.

How deliberate!

Xia Zuo thought to himself, yet his alertness did not wane in the slightest.

The three figures, one after another, continued moving down the alley.

After a while, Xia Zuo’s suspicion deepened even further.

Something wasn’t right!

No matter how secluded the place could be, it was simply impossible for there to be no other people at all!

Just then, the figure that had been leading the way stopped suddenly and turned around.
