Someone had entered his room, and the landlord had seen a fur trader at the door.

These two things led him to make an inevitable connection.

How would a fur trader know about his place?

It wasn’t a thief, neither could it be the fur seller.

Only the escaped wanted criminal knew where he lived.

An outlaw daring to come out during the day, indeed outrageous.

Your excitement and anxiety rose simultaneously in Wu Heng’s heart.

Anxiety that he was targeted again, excitement that the other party would make a move now. He had noticed the opponent’s intention.

He could use this opportunity to resolve the matter and eliminate the threat.

Picking up his bag, he said to the landlord, “I have things to handle. I’m leaving.”

“Hmm, don’t bring those furs into the room. We can’t handle them, they’ll just make a mess,” replied the landlord.

“I just asked for someone else.”

He left the crowded zone, heading towards the central area.

Most likely, it was the wanted felon. He had to notify the association.

There’s a group now, he can’t bear such matters alone.

Professionals’ Association.

Many professionals were still gathered within the hall.

Some at the counter completing tasks, others chatting in the rest area, even people feeding their pets.

From the clothing and pets, it was probably a ranger.

Cavina had indicated that rangers tamed pets, with whom they could share their visuals and auditory senses for a short period.

It was an important method for surveillance and gathering information.

Taking a glance around, he didn’t dally, crossed through the hallway, heading directly to his team’s rest space.

Opening the door, no one was inside.

Even after checking the training room, Captain Autruck and Cavina were nowhere to be found.

Not there?

Had they gone on a mission or were they not at the association?

They should have brought me along if it was a mission. Probably they were not here.

Just like Wu Heng, after the first mission, he had never come over here.

He went back to the main hall’s office area, asking a staff member if “Captain Autruck had arrived today?”

Besides those like him engaged in field work, there were also numerous staff members within the association to maintain other tasks.

They were the desk employees.

The staff looked at him and replied, “Noon. Captain Autruck and Miss Cavina left with the second group. They are currently not at the association.”

Damn, they left at this time.

Five people in the second team, just three in the fourth team. He was also not there.

What were they up to?

“When will they be back?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Do you know where Team Two took them?”

“It should be related to a mission.”

Wu Heng nodded but didn’t say anything else. He just approached the bulletin board and glanced at the numerous bounties posted.

The number of wanted criminals had increased.

Among these portraits, he couldn’t recognize any familiar faces.

He returned to his team’s resting room and sat on the couch, pondering the next steps.

If it was the wanted criminal, they wouldn’t dare to be obvious.

They would most likely make a move at night, with not too many people.

Without the captain and Cavina, it wasn’t that he had no options.

If the two of them got involved, he might not utilize the remaining skeleton warriors.

“Would they come looking for me tonight?”

If they didn’t come tonight but stalked him from the shadows, it would be difficult to deal with.

He still needed to inform the association first.

If he didn’t go tonight, it would be good if the association could notify Black Stone Town to strengthen its search.

If they arrive tonight, he could directly resolve the problem, regardless of the risk.

When he sorted out his thoughts,

He left a note on the table, picked his bag up again, and left.

Night fell.

Under the fog-like moonlight, a gray-feathered owl watched at the patrolling guard gradually receding.

Meanwhile, within a nearby narrow alley,

Someone spoke up, “The guards have left.”

At this moment, two more figures stood up.

They glanced at each other, communicating without words, before rushing forward under the pale moonlight.

Into the alleyway across.

One of them commanded an owl to perch at the entrance of the alleyway in the distance while the other three swiftly arrived at the door, preparing to make their move.

With a ‘click’, the door lock was easily opened.

The room inside was dim and silent.

They carefully entered the room and shut the door behind them.

They didn’t search around but headed directly for the bedroom.

Capture the person, extract the location of the object, then kill them.

It was that simple, they had to accomplish it before the next patrol team arrived.

Entering the bedroom, they looked at the human figure on the bed and gripped the dagger firmly.

Just as they were about to make the next move.

Suddenly, a sense of dread and chill rose up their spines.

Their years of experience made them feel the imminent danger instantly.

Without any hesitation, they started to roll on the ground.

Clang!

Two crossbow arrows were fired at where they had previously been standing.

Without waiting for their bodies to stabilize, they swung their short swords backward, the sharp blade drawing a silver arc in the dim light.

They collided with the iron sword swiping from behind, sparking a blinding flare.

In the shadowy room.

They could vaguely see more than a dozen figures standing in front, blocking the entrance.

The cold moonlight shone in through the window.

Casting through their bodies, displaying the inverted shadows of rib bones.

“Undead!”

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Except for the few upfront donned in armors, the rest were all bare-boned skeletons.

Did we get the wrong place?

Why are there so many undead in this room?

They also realized that their presence was detected from the start.

They were just waiting for them to come on their own accord.

Nonetheless, they remained calm.

Which outlaw wasn’t one who had tasted the bitterness of life? In desperate times, surrendering only speed up one’s death.

A fight to the death might still offer a glimmer of hope.

“Let’s break out!” one of them yelled.

Upon his command, the other two raised their weapons and charged forward.

Witnessing their desperate attempt, Wu Heng retreated and commanded, “Attack.”

Hu- !

Skeleton Teddy sprang from the ground, leaping a distance of three to four meters, pouncing towards the figure behind.

Simultaneously, Jianyi and Jian’er led a group of ordinary skeleton warriors charging forward.

In an instant, the room was echoing with clashes and the sounds of combat.

Boom-!

The leader of the bandits kicked down the skeleton in front.

His gaze swiftly scanned the room before finally fixing upon a non-combatant figure in the corner.

With a chilling whisper, “Die!”

Dealing with the undead may be tricky but the solution was simple – kill the necromancer, and the summoned undead would disperse on their own.

After identifying his target, he brandished his sword and charged.

Wu Heng looked at his attacker and cast a water ball towards him.

The bandit cut through the water ball with his sword but was splashed with corrosive acid in the process, causing his face to begin to decay.

His forward motion stalled as his deformities began to distort.

Puff-!

A surge of pain radiated from his chest.

In his blurred vision caused by the acid, a figure had stabbed a short spear into his chest.

“Damn it!”

The bandit cursed.

Simultaneously, a piercing sound echoed by his ear. He tried to dodge but his movements were sluggish.

Puff-!

The sound of blade penetrating flesh once again echoed.

A sharp dagger was plunged into his neck, causing fresh blood to spray out like a fountain.

The bandit’s body slowly collapsed to the ground. As Jianyi drew his sword from his body, he immediately turned to attack the other enemies.

The battle at the rear gradually drew to a close.

The only bandit left alive, drenched in blood, was hauled over.

“What are you looking for in my room?”
