(From MC's Perspective)
This information is very hard to believe. No wonder the city was in such a state.
These people took bandit hunting missions from the city lord's mansion. Instead of killing them, they are actually helping the bandits. I guess Mr. Jonathan must have heard their words.
Various thoughts run in my mind.
I don't know who to blame for a moment. City Lord? I believe he must have known. How come these people didn't even react at all?
Fortunately, my uncle reminded me. If I had blindly trusted the city lord's mansion, my situation would have ended no different from that of fallen warriors.
I sighed internally. I hope someone will solve this problem. If this goes on, the iron post city will be deserted soon.
A slight glint flashes in my eyes as I recall another piece of information.
The Fire Sword Team had sent various teams to the inner area. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Even for me, with perceptual ability in hand, it's hard to move around this area.
If not for my perception, I would have already fought numerous battles against the bugs.
Then again, it's also good for me. Only trainee warriors with good surviving skills can exit from the place. The Special Trianee Warrior won't dare enter the inner area.
If the trainee warrior teams die here, it will greatly weaken the Fire Sword Team. Then I can handle the rest of the teams staying in outer areas.
A confident smile rose on my face after making some plans. Then my attention shifted back to these people. What to do? Should I fight? Various calculations flash in my mind.
This location is not the ideal place for battle. I should follow them before finding a place to end them.
One hour later,
The five bandits walked out of the wooden house. After discussing with each other, the bandit team walked towards the inner area. A small hesitation rose in my heart.
They decided to enter the inner area. Is there any base ahead? A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
If I come across any treasure out there, then my trip would be meaningful. It's okay, I can't practise here, but I can find some treasures. such as herbal plants and energy fruits.
After careful contemplation, I made a firm decision. Next, I secretly followed the bandit team.
It's easier to walk along this path. Since you don't have to remove the vegetation, The bandit team is moving like a snail.
From time to time, the bandit leader checks the surroundings. He was very careful not to come across any monsters or bugs. Through my perception, I knew there was no danger around here.
But this also made me realise the seriousness of the matter. If not for my perception, I would have wasted a lot of time here.
Then I continue to follow the team. So far I haven't found any good places to start a fight. Suddenly, a few red dots appeared in my perception.
I slowed down my speed a little bit. After looking at the moving speed, I confirmed the red dots were not bugs this time. There is another bandit team coming from the front.
I thought there would be many bandits in a single team. But here, no one has more than 5 members in their team. Then I recall the last encounter, in which a swarm of bugs devoured many bandits.
Dispelling my thoughts, I decided to hear their conversation. Next, I immediately chose a good spot to hide.
As the bandit team walked forward, they met with another bandit team. Both teams halted their footsteps. The bandit leaders from both sides walked forward and exchanged some curious information with each other.
After gaining information, they nodded before walking past each other with their teams.
The new bandit team is coming towards my direction. Until the new bandit team disappeared from my sight. I remained in the same position.
When they completely disappeared, I appeared at my previous spot. Both bandit leaders spoke with each other in a low tone. Even their team members couldn't have possibly heard it.
I feel slightly disappointed by that. Next, I used the lightning phantom technique to reach up to them.
Soon, I saw five of their silhouettes. After reaching close to them, I stopped using the lightning phantom technique.
At that time, the old veteran observed the leader's expression carefully. Seeing that their leader is calm and composed
The old veteran asked, "Leader, is there any good news? That one-eyed bast**d also seems to be happy. "
Hearing that, the bandit leader laughed out loud, "Ha... Ha...Ha..."
"Old fogey, you're sharp as always," said the bandit leader.
After saying that, the bandit leader said, "Yes, you have guessed right." Orders came from our bandit boss. He gave the order to kill bandit hunting warriors.
The old veteran bandit was dumbfounded for a moment. He hurriedly asked, "Leader, what about teams related to the Fire Sword Team?"
The bandit leader smiled amusingly and replied, "Are you dumb? Various teams belonging to the Fire Sword team were currently entering the inner area, so orders were specifically given to remove them from our territory. "
Hearing that, the rest of them sucked cold breath. Everyone understands that the long-lasting friendships between bandits and the Fire Sword team are coming to an end.
Alternatively,
I heard every bit of conversion between them. Thankgoodness, they started to discuss it. Otherwise, I would be clueless about it.
The clash between bandits and teams belonging to the Fire Sword team will soon impact everyone.
Dispelling the thoughts, I decided to focus on the current task.
Soon, the bandit team reached a rather wider path. It's enough for 20 people to walk along. This place also gives me time to move around.
Then, seeing five of their backs, a cold glint flashes in my eyes. The bandit leader is a Mid-Trainee Warrior, while the rest are Initial Trainees.
My last duel with Benny Sutton involved too many factors. That fool Benny Sutton didn't retaliate at all. He gladly took my attack. Otherwise, the battle wouldn't have felt easier.
But here, the situation is really different. I don't know whether I can take care of them all. If I attack the leader, then four of them will besiege me.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
The sudden buzzing sound brought me back to reality. When I saw the swarm of red dots approaching us, my face tightened.
I saw the bandit team quickly get alarmed. The bandit leader started to give commands. Suddenly, five of them ran in different directions to hide.
"Tck! What kind of strategy is this? " I muttered to myself.
Then I saw two running back in my direction. I immediately disappeared from the spot. It's puzzling to me why they chose to flee.
"Buzz" "Buzz" "Buzz"
The sound reached closer to us. When I finally saw the appearance of these bugs, "Fuck," I cursed at myself.
Carnivorous insects!I thought these bugs went in the other direction. So, I selected the opposite direction to come here. I'm rooted in the same spot.
Now I can understand why the bandit leader made such a decision. He must have known it was carnivore bugs from that buzzing sound alone. His survival skills baffle me. How did he identify the bugs from the sound alone?
The bandit leader has some skills. I made a clever decision earlier to not confront them. Otherwise, everyone would have been exposed to these bugs.
Suddenly, I noticed some changes. The swarm of carnivore bugs looked like black clouds. The black clouds split into five small clouds. Leaving one behind, four clouds immediately chased the warriors.
I gulped my saliva after seeing that. At that moment, I prayed for their afterlife. It's impossible to escape alive from these bugs. These damn bugs won't even leave your bones.
Next, the last back cloud stayed in one spot. All of a sudden, I got goosebumps all over my body. I feel like this swarm of bugs is staring at me.
Is this real? The small black clouds started to move. My expression changes drastically, as these bugs slowly come towards me. But their movement is somewhat slow.
When I found myself in front of a swarm of tiny bugs My heart starts to beat faster. I'm ready to use the lightning wheel technique at any moment.
But I'm more confused by looking at their state. These small bugs seem to scan me from head to toe. What is happening?
Next, the swarm of bugs suddenly flew back to their previous position. Then suddenly, I thought of something. I stared in a certain direction above.
It must be the work of Mr. Jonathan. I breathed in relief. With him here, I don't have to worry about my safety. But he acts as eyes and ears for my teacher. If I gave a sloppy performance, it would soon reach my teacher.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
I made the decision to pick a suitable opponent to fight. I can only impress Mr. Jonathan in this way.
Then I waited for these bugs to leave.
