Audrey nodded.
It was because of this that she wanted to speed up and find Hera. Only when the five-man team was officially assembled would they relax and work hard for the token.
“Why don’t we do it this way? I think we can still move in batches. Jill, you’ll be in charge of guarding the position here. We’ll still split into two groups to find Hera,” Audrey said.
She had told Hera before coming here that if they got separated by accident, they could choose to help their teammates find them by emitting combat aura.
She had thought that it was just her worrying over nothing. She did not expect it to actually happen.
Morris nodded in agreement. After all, under such circumstances, the method that Audrey had mentioned was the fastest.
“Then, Morris and I will still be in the same team. We will be responsible for starting the search from the west. You guys go to the south. We will split into two groups. If you encounter any special circumstances, remember to return first. Do not engage in a confrontation with them,” Audrey exhorted.
Jill was clearly dissatisfied that she would be stationed here. “Audrey! I can also engage in battle, although it seems like...”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Kate.
“The injured should just rest here obediently. With the stone beasts here, I’m sure there won’t be any big trouble,” Kate warned, “just stay here and wait for our news.”
Jill clearly wanted to say something else, but the others did not give him the chance to speak.
Audrey had set up a barrier before she left. However, due to the many Demon Beasts here, the power of the barrier had been reduced. However, if they encountered any special circumstances, they could still temporarily stop it for a period of time.
Audrey and Morris set off from the south. They were extremely careful along the way, concealing their auras. However, they still encountered uninvited guests.
Just a few kilometers away from the camp where they were stationed, the two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.
That was because not far away, there was a thick stench of blood.
The moment Audrey caught a whiff of that smell, she was able to determine who had done this.
She subconsciously frowned. She mobilized the elemental energy in her hand and fused her entire body with the vegetation beside her. Her aura was instantly concealed to the extreme.
This was Morris’ territory. So Morris just waited quietly and looked in the direction where the smell came from.
“I didn’t expect our luck to be so bad today. Unfortunately, we only managed to catch one team this morning,” Xavier’s voice sounded.
The one standing beside her was Daisy from yesterday.
Daisy lifted her leg and kicked the man who had collapsed on the ground onto the tree. She said with some disdain, “You said that we would meet one team if we met another team, but you don’t even have a token. Why are you so poor? Someone really beat us to it.”
Julius spat out a mouthful of blood from the kick.
He panted a few times and tried to control his combat aura to seal his Qi meridian so that the pain would not be so intense.
God knew what their team had just experienced.
Initially, after meeting these three people, they had also bluntly said that they did not have a token on them but that it had been snatched away by someone else.
They had thought that both sides would pass through this safely, but they had not expected that the other side would attack without saying a word.
Julius led his teammates to resist desperately, but there was still no way. Finally, because the difference in strength was too great, they were all knocked down to the ground.
Unlike the mysterious person they met yesterday, these two people did not hold back at all today. On the contrary, every move they made was full of strength.
They had already exhausted some of their strength yesterday, so they naturally had no chance to resist. Unfortunately, they were defeated like lab rats by the group of people in front of them.
“Ahem... if there’s anything, you can come at me. But, please don’t attack my teammates. They are all innocent!”
Julius coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xavier just glanced at him indifferently. “What do you mean they are all innocent? Let me tell you, in my place. Everything is treated equally. But, moreover, with your strength, you are not even enough to practice for us. You are really useless.”
This sentence completely made Julius despair. He raised his head and looked at the man in royal blue standing not far away.
In fact, Julius had already felt that something was wrong when he first met this group of people.
Their movements were very careful, and the routes they took were different. It could be said that there was no pattern at all. So how did they get discovered?
It seemed that the problem must be with the man in royal blue.
“Boss, what do you think we should do about these people? Should we lock them up first and stop causing trouble for us?” Xavier ran over with a flattering look on his face.
The man whom he called boss slowly said, “There’s no need. Based on their current condition, they are no longer a threat. So let’s change to the next target.”
Daisy smiled. “As expected, we still have to rely on boss’s ability. Otherwise, we would have to spend a lot of effort just to find people in such a big forest, let alone defeat them.”
Before Ulrius could understand what they meant, he saw an aura suddenly appear in front of him.
The warrior power lingered in the air and soon formed an image that he could not understand.
After everything was formed, Ulrius instantly understood what it was. He saw the mountain peaks on top of the warrior power, as well as the faintly discernible dense red spots on the mountain peaks.
