Chapter 502 Trap
Chapter 502 Trap!
Acot City,
"Where shall we go first?"
Xia Zuo looked at the human city with a little curiosity, and said to Eric beside him.
"You are the captain, shouldn't you make the decision?"
Eric also came to Acot City for the first time, but he was much more stable than Xia Zuo.
Their [Wrath of Nature] elf team came to Acot City for their mission, and the captain of the team was Xia Zuo.
The reason why Xia Zuo could become the captain of the [Wrath of Nature] team was not because of his elder who was a councilor of the Emerald City, but because of his own strength.
After a period of training and improvement in [Wrath of Nature], Xia Zuo successfully passed the test prepared by Li Si and officially became a member of [Wrath of Nature].
After being given the World Tree Mark by Li Si, his strength also improved significantly.
In fact, the World Tree Mark and the elves have a good affinity. Basically, after being given the World Tree Mark by Li Si, all the elves not only have their strength significantly enhanced, but also their progress speed has become much faster.
After obtaining the World Tree Mark, Xia Zuo quickly broke through from the silver level to the gold level, and also reached the same realm as Xiandel.
At the same time, Xia Zuo mastered all kinds of knowledge and skills taught by Li Si very quickly, so he became the captain of the second batch of [Nature's Wrath] elf team.
His friend Eric was not much slower than him, and after a while he also successfully broke through the gold level.
Because of the relationship between the two, Eric chose to become the deputy captain of Xia Zuo's elf team.
The two of them came to Akote City with other team members to complete the tasks assigned to them.
"Hehe, you know me, this has never been my forte!"
Xia Zuo said confidently, unaware of the strange looks from other teammates.
"This is the task assigned to us by Lord Agri. In addition to us, there are two teams waiting outside the city for our news."
"Be careful, don't think you can do whatever you want after breaking through the gold level."
"If it weren't for Lord Li Si, we don't know when we will break through the gold level!"
Eric shook his head. As a good friend, he knew Xia Zuo's character very well.
He is excellent in both talent and ability, but sometimes his somewhat frivolous attitude makes people worry.
"Well, I know."
Xia Zuo's face straightened and nodded.
"I have been observing since I entered the city. It seems that everyone here knows our identity."
"However, they seem to be very afraid of us. Obviously, we have never attacked anyone outside the Elf Slave Catching Group?"
Eric was sure in his heart that it seemed that Xia Zuo's frivolity just now was just pretending.
Yes, such an important matter, no matter what, you have to be nervous.
"It should be from Lord Li Si's arrangement."
Eric lowered his voice and said in a volume that only they could hear:
"Do you remember that when we were chasing those slave-hunting groups in the Elf Forest, Lord Li Si specifically asked us not to kill them all."
"We should let one or two people go back to let them know the attitude of our [Wrath of Nature]."
"Now it seems that Lord Li Si's arrangement is very effective. Once the news spreads, at least people near the human kingdom have an understanding of [Wrath of Nature]."
"Awe and fear are the best ways to keep those with bad intentions away from the forest."
"Lord Agley said so, and I didn't understand what it meant until now."
"This is really good, and it saves us a lot of trouble."
Xia Zuo nodded, changed his tone and said:
"But. In this situation, where can we get information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group?"
"It seems that these people don't dare to approach us."
Xia Zuo scratched his head and looked around and said.
"It should be OK at the mercenary tavern or the intelligence dealer. If that doesn't work, we can go to the Church of the Gods for help."
"But it's better not to go to the Church of the Gods. After all, we are just in a cooperative relationship there."
"Yeah."
Xia Zuo nodded slightly. He thought so too.
The Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group is a very special and low-key mercenary group. Its members are all humans. They are active in the area around the Elf Forest to complete commissioned tasks.
Although it is low-key and mysterious, the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group is also a large mercenary group.
Before, [Wrath of Nature] had never paid attention to this mercenary group, but when it hunted down the leader of an elf slave-hunting group, it got a very critical piece of information from him.
Before, many elf slave-hunting groups did not take the elves out of the forest directly after catching the elves, but would trade with the people of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group.
It is equivalent to selling the elves directly to the people of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group as commodities.
After the secret investigation of [Nature's Wrath] during this period, they found that most of the mercenaries in the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group were actually unaware of this matter.
Regarding the elf trade, many mercenaries in the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group did not know, and all the clues finally pointed to a team in the mercenary group called Mosa.
It is said that this team is directly responsible to the leader of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group, Joe Xuer, and is usually quite mysterious. Many people don't know what they are doing.
In the end, the clues about this Mosa detachment pointed to Arcot City, and Agli asked Xia Zuo's team to come first to inquire and obtain information.
"Then let's set off. It's better for us to act together just in case."
"In the future, we will go to the entire continent to search for traces of abyss demons. Although we are still facing those mercenaries this time, it can be regarded as our team's first attempt to go to other races!"
"Must succeed!"
Xia Zuo said to the other companions in a low but serious tone.
The other elves looked serious and nodded seriously.
Sometimes, Xia Zuo is still very capable of leadership!
After Eric opened the map and determined the location, he led everyone towards the mercenary tavern.
The sun sets in the west, and the orange-red sunshine gives the city built on the mountain a warm windbreaker.
Xia Zuo and Eric stood at the intersection of a dilapidated alley, looking back with ugly faces.
The other elves have been standing at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the two captains to appear.
"I think that information dealer must know something."
Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
Today he and Eric had a lot of running around in Arcot City. They went to mercenary taverns and normal intelligence merchants' places, but they didn't get any valuable information.
It seems that no one knows about the situation of Mosa detachment in the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group.
However, in the mercenary tavern, Eric also got the address of this underground intelligence businessman from the tavern waiter, and came here to try it just in case.
However, the other party claimed that although he knew the information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group, he had never heard of the name Mosa.
Although the other party concealed it very well and was even selling other information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group to Xia Zuo, as a ranger, he still noticed the moment of stagnation and consternation when the other party heard the name.
However, no matter how Xia Zuo and Eric asked, and even promised a large sum of money, the skinny intelligence businessman still shook his head and insisted that this was not the case.
Xia Zuo and Eric had no choice but to leave there.
After all, this is the capital of the Bolin Kingdom, and they must also pay attention to the impact.
"Then what do we do now?"
Eric looked at Xia Zuo and asked softly.
Xia Zuo shook his head slightly, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
"Go back now?"
Eric suggested.
In addition to them, there are two elf teams waiting outside the city, ready to cooperate with Xia Zuo's team's actions.
Xia Zuo's team first entered Arcot City to collect intelligence, but the current situation made it difficult for Xia Zuo to make a decision.
Although Xia Zuo was not given a time limit, he was embarrassed to go back empty-handed without finding anything.
Especially since the team led by Xander was also outside the city, Xia Zuo subconsciously didn't want to go back in such shame.
"There's no rush, there's still enough time. Let's investigate again tomorrow and go back if there are no results."
Xia Zuosi thought about it and decided like this.
"What should we do?"
"Let's go to the station first."
Eric said to Xia Zuo.
The residence he was talking about was the residence of the Elisir family in Arcot City.
After Li Si formed [Wrath of Nature], these places became the organization's private areas and strongholds for its members to rest.
Just as several elves were pressing the map and preparing to head to the station, a figure suddenly flashed across the street in front of them.
"team leader!"
Others didn't pay attention, but an elf in the team suddenly said,
"Walker, what's wrong?"
Xia Zuo asked in a low voice.
"The figure just now has a tattoo of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group on his right arm!"
Walker affirmed that as the ranger with the best vision in the team, he was confident about this.
"A member of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group?"
Xia Zuo murmured to himself, thoughtfully.
"Something's wrong, Xia Zuo!"
Eric looked over, his face a little gloomy.
"How could it be such a coincidence? We were looking for someone from the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group, and someone with a Hungry Wolf Tattoo happened to appear in front of us."
"I know."
Xia Zuo nodded, remained silent for a moment and then said:
"Walker, follow me."
"no problem."
The ranger named Walker responded crisply.
"Eric, you and the others don't go to the station. Go directly to Xander and the others outside the city."
"I will leave a mark for you, and you can just follow me when the time comes."
"No, I don't agree."
Eric shook his head and said:
"You know this is a trap, why do you still jump into it?"
"They must know that we are the people of [Nature's Wrath], but they still do this. They must have something to rely on."
"But it's a rare opportunity, isn't it?"
Xia Zuo also knew something was wrong, but he was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.
After all, he found nothing today. He finally found some clues, and he was ready to follow even the bait that ran out.
Seeing that Eric was still about to persuade him, Xia Zuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, I know the severity."
"You know, I have my confidence."
Seeing this, Eric knew that Xia Zuo had made up his mind.
He did know that Eric, the trump card, was there, and there was really no need to worry about Xia Zuo's safety if he was there.
After making a quick decision, Eric nodded and left quickly with the others without hesitation.
"Let's go, Walker!"
Xia Zuo and Walker immediately rushed in the direction where the figure disappeared.
Turning a corner, the suspicious figure appeared in their sight again.
As if waiting for the two, he ran in a remote direction.
Really deliberate!
Xia Zuo sighed in his heart, but his vigilance did not diminish at all.
Three figures, one in front and one behind, kept moving along the alley.
After a while, Xia Zuo's heart became heavier.
Something is wrong!
No matter how secluded the place is, it is impossible that there are no other people!
At this time, the figure who had been rushing in front stopped and turned around.
A pale and stiff face appeared in front of the two elves, and the cold and evil breath swept the entire alley like a tide.
This should be a corpse occupied by a gold-level undead, exuding a dark breath, like a dead tide that seemed to swallow up all the vitality around it, making the entire alley fall into a dead silence.
In just a moment, Xia Zuo felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
Undead!
Gold-level undead!
So strong!
Xia Zuo quickly reacted. Although he had little contact with it, this characteristic that was completely different from the breath of life was still very clear.
Swish!
Xia Zuo grabbed Walker's shoulders and threw him far away.
On the ground where Walker had just stood, many fine holes appeared, and there were traces of continuous corrosion on the edges.
Xia Zuo's face was gloomy. Just from this confrontation, he knew that he could never be the opponent of the undead in front of him.
As an elf ranger, Xia Zuo hated the breath of undead very much, and he was ready to find a chance to escape.
However, although the posture of the undead in front of him was extremely strange, its speed was beyond Xia Zuo's imagination, and he had no way to get rid of it for a while.
The corpse was like a puppet doll controlled by the undead, and the sharp nails flashed a pale green light, which made Xia Zuo dare not touch it at all.
But it seems to be okay, I don't need to use my trump card
Xia Zuo thought to himself.
Suddenly, a warm hand grasped Xia Zuo's neck.
"Are you so careless?"
