“Report, no abnormalities found.”

A moment later, both of them reported almost simultaneously, one right after the other.

The arrow is on the string and it must be released.

“Action!”

With a wave of her right hand, Tracey Lucia gave the order. “Advance in search formation, watch out for ambush.”

In the mountain hollow, in the cave.

Link and Elise Clark spotted the traces of Tracey Lucia’s group through the perspective of the Bionic Eagle.

To avoid exposure, Link had Elise retract the Bionic Eagle.

Then, he began the next step of his ambush plan – to lure the enemy.

After arranging his gear, leaving the big bag in the tent,

he put on a very special cloak over the “Defender 3202” suit and prepared to set off.

“Hey.”

Elise Clark called out. Seeing Link turn his head, she threw a sphere at him. “This is a disposable magic tool for escape. Drop a drop of your own blood into it before using it, then stimulate it with spiritual power, and it can create a temporary clone, which is convenient for escape.”

“Thank you.”

Link swiftly grabbed the sphere, without hesitation, directly tucked it into his pocket.

Elise then giggled: “Don’t thank me so soon, giving you a heads-up in advance, as soon as the opportunity arises, I won’t care who I might hurt, I will blow them up.”

According to Link’s ambush plan, the two of them divided the tasks clearly – Link to lure the enemy, Elise to trigger the traps.

As everyone knows, there is no such thing as a perfect plan.

Link’s ambush plan, which was conceived on the fly, had many flaws.

The biggest one – he couldn’t guarantee that only the enemy would be injured when the traps went off.

It was quite likely that in order to lure the enemy into the trap, Link would have to use himself as bait and hold the enemy’s attention.

Elise heard from the Serene Wizard that Link Grande is a person who is good at guessing and very suspicious.

As a teammate, it’s much better to clarify something in advance than to explain it afterwards.

She had just given Link an escape tool and also gave him an early notice. If she accidentally bombed Link, it was an accident, not intentional.

“Okay, don’t worry about me.”

Link nodded, expressing his stance.

The life-saving gear he carried was not just the “Defender 3202” suit.

The reward of billions of points that the Serene Wizard gave, was truly billions.

After exchanging them for card lottery chances, buying four scouting puppets, a great weapon, and having a special cloak and a second-hand disposable life-saving magic tool from the West District Black Market,

Wizard Palo confirmed that they were genuine and effective, and the performance was excellent, able to withstand the strike of the great weapon. He had picked up a bargain.

Link’s confidence in battling the Pure Blood trio came from that life-saving magic tool.

This time, Link’s confidence also came from that.

Hence, he dared to be the bait, wasn’t afraid to get blasted or stabbed in the back by Elise Clark.

At worst, he would just slip away unnoticed.

Before leaving the cave, Link put on that special cloak which made him blend in with the surroundings.

Not only was he invisible to the naked eye, but also the various reconnaissance modes of the Flying Sphere and the Bionic Eagle couldn’t detect him.

This was the top of the line version of the Optical Invisibility Cloak Link had used in the academy. It could shield against most reconnaissance magic tools. Unfortunately, it only had two uses left. It couldn’t be used repeatedly.

Link’s figure disappeared into the night.

Elise Clark stood still, staring in the direction Link had chosen, for a long time without moving.

After a long time, a radiant smile bloomed on her face, very sunny,

yet with her gaze, it appeared very eerie.

It’s quite the contradiction.

Despite her happy laughter, it left a lingering, heavy sense of sadness.

It was an old issue.

When she got overly excited, her emotions would spiral out of control.

Regaining her focus, Elise raised her hand, swiping at the corner of her eyes and the side of her mouth, wiping away all traces of sadness and contradiction.

In the darkness, under the “Moonlight”, Elise Clark radiated an intense fighting spirit.

Link quickly snuck to a pre-selected camping spot, did a bit of arranging.

Gauging that Dalton Collen and Andriya Norman were about to reach the area with the early warning devices,

he immediately lifted the special cloak, exposing himself to the “Pure Blood Will’s” surveillance,

Ducking his body, he dashed out of the campsite towards the direction of the mountain hollow.

Left in the deliberately crafted campsite were only the functional rune objects he had confiscated.

Link created the illusion that he had spotted the members of “Pure Blood Will”, but he believed it was those functional rune objects that had revealed his whereabouts.

Who cares if he believes it or not, the point is to keep him guessing.

“A situation has risen, target likely identified.”

A member of the “Pure Blood Will” responsible for reconnaissance noticed Link’s movements and immediately reported.

Reacting on instinct, he sends out a Bionic Eagle tracking Lockheed steadily.

He sends another Bionic Eagle swooping down to close quarters, scouting the vicinity from where Link emerged.

The typical campsite terrain, signs of camping, casually discarded Rune Objects, all places of suspicion.

“What’s the situation?”

Tracey Lucia inquired in a cool tone.

“Report.”

The reconnaissance member projected images of the campsite, enlarged, highlighting a few Rune Objects discarded on the ground, reporting, “Identified some suspicious objects.”

Tracey Lucia took a glance and immediately recognized these as the gear of the missing trio.

It seems the person moving urgently away from them is Link Grande.

From various signs, it is presumed that the enemy has discovered them somehow and is hastily retreating.

Considering the missing trio also carried a Reconnaissance Magic Tools Flying Sphere, this hypothesis is highly probable.

But, Tracey Lucia instinctively felt things were going too smoothly.

She had a feeling that ahead lay a trap tailored for them!

However, what bothers her the most is that even if she knew there might be a trap ahead, she still had to press on.

Otherwise, if they let the target slip away and miss this opportunity, who would bear the responsibility?

Tracey Lucia pondered carefully and made arrangements.

She commanded a Flying Sphere and a Bionic Eagle from different directions to lock on the target,

Another two Flying Spheres were tasked to scour for other spying magic tools, The final Bionic Eagle circled around her group, sentry watching, preventing an ambush.

“Be extra vigilant, the target isn’t easy to deal with, beware of traps and ambushes.”

Tracey Lucia wraps up after giving a few precautionary shifts, and emphasizes.

“Yes.”

The six members of the “Pure Blood Will” responded in unison.

They automatically split into two groups, left and right as if an encircling tactic and slowly followed behind Dalton and Andriya.

They didn’t rush to surpass them, making a straight line for the possibly identified target.

Since two Reconnaissance Tools were already continuously tracking the enemy’s whereabouts there was no need to hasten.

First, following behind the informer, let’s see if they can bait out some additional situations.

The more information they can obtain, the greater the certainty of things.

Underneath the “moonlight”, three parties, split into three sections, various thoughts each, different speeds, travelling through the night.

Link returned to the mouth of the valley, he cloaked himself with a Special Cloak, activating it.

Instantly, his figure was impossible to track.

The sudden transformation caught Tracey Lucia, who was slowly trailing behind Dalton and Andriya, by surprise.

“Dammit!”

Tracey Lucia couldn’t help but curse out loud.

If the target didn’t disappear early or late, but chose this moment when it was ideal to set up a trap or an ambush, it was downright conspiratorial, it was an open threat.

Might as well have asked transparently, I have found you, dare you continue the pursuit?

Faced with this, Tracey Lucia was left in a difficult dilemma.

Continue the pursuit, they might walk into a premeditated battleground getting ambushed or encounter a trap;

If they didn’t pursue, the enemy had a magical tool which could evade tracking, to find the enemy again would consume a lot of time and energy and it wasn’t guaranteed they would find them in time.

“Inform the insider, have her go to the location where the target disappeared and inquire about the situation.”

Tracey Lucia pondered for a moment, made a decision, and issued the order.

Regardless of whether there was a trap ahead, this battle was inevitable.

Rather than blindly plunging in, it was better to let the informer scout ahead.

Anyway, this informer most likely had already been exposed, even if she died, it would be no loss.

“Yes.”

The reconnaissance member responsible for contacting the insider concurred.

He took out a communication device, via a secret language, sent out the latest instructions to the insider.

Andriya felt the vibration in her earring, received the message relayed by the green gem, again was taken aback.

What?

Not only do I have to lead the way, but I also have to scout?

A wave of chills coursed all over her body.
