Ten kilometers southeast of the holy city of Nimbuende is a rolling hilly area.
The scenery here is pleasant, quiet and far-reaching.
Because a terrifying existence lives here all year round, even birds and wild dogs dare not approach easily.
At the entrance of the hill, a group of young contractors stopped quietly.
Some of them were sitting cross-legged in meditation, some were concentrating with their eyes closed, and some were wandering around in panic. In short, they all looked nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
The sound of the soles of shoes scraping the ground came from far away, and five more soldiers wearing masks and armor came over.
Wright frowned when he saw the contractor group.
He raised his palm and signaled his four companions not to get close for the time being, and he would first step forward to see the situation.
It was now two o'clock in the afternoon, and Wright and others arrived at the designated gathering place as scheduled.
In addition to the employer Fu Zhexing, there are actually six people here, one...slime? And a dog? people? Dog man?
The energy fluctuations emitted by this group of people are not stable, but it is basically certain that they are above the triple shackles realm.
Especially that dog-man, which is almost close to the five-layer shackles realm.
Is this kind of lineup necessary to deal with first-level targets?
Hiring five of his own people was already an exaggeration, and with such a group of weirdos coming, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Yo."
Wright greeted someone in a low voice.
"Mr. Wright is indeed punctual." Fu Zhexing stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
"Kid, what's going on?"
Wright pursed his lips at Xu Fei and others, and began to question them openly.
The meaning is obvious. If you have so many powerful companions, why would you hire them? Is there any pitfall in this?
"Mr. Wright, they are members of my contractor team. They have all been persecuted by 'Sheela'. They just came to watch the battle today to relieve their anger."
"I hope Mr. Wright will teach 'Sheila' a lesson later to resolve the grievances we have accumulated over the past few days."
Fu Zhexing's eyes were full of sincerity, and his face did not turn red when he lied.
"……oh."
After a moment of silence, Wright nodded.
This reason barely made sense, but I still had to be more cautious to prevent being tricked by this kid and causing unnecessary trouble.
For example, the so-called 'Sheila' is just a nickname, and the true identity of the target person is a powerful warrior who is good at hiding his own realm, etc.
"Brothers, as soon as we enter the hilly area, please do not create any energy fluctuations or consciousness diffusion until you take action.
"No matter what happens, we use gestures to communicate with each other."
Xu Fei took out a pack of Huazi, handed it to the five elite soldiers with a smile on his face, and then ordered it for them one by one very diligently.
"Hiss...hoo..."
Wright squinted his eyes and took a deep breath of smoke, feeling a little intoxicated by the rich aroma of tobacco.
He looked at the young man in front of him.
He has black hair and black eyes and a slender figure, with only slightly bulging muscles that are not strong enough.
Just like that kid named Fu Zhexing, he is just a rookie warrior.
"Why do you do this? Isn't the target person in the first level of shackles? Is there anyone else?"
Wright blew out two smoke rings and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xu Fei scratched his head and added: "You don't know something..."
"Although 'Sheela' is of low level, her consciousness is very high, and she is a genius. So for the sake of safety, it is safer for us to use physical means as much as possible during the approach to prevent her from running away."
"As for whether there are others, don't worry! 'Sheela' is usually very arrogant due to her outstanding talent, and has always been a loner. Let alone a guard, she doesn't even have friends."
After hearing this explanation, the five experienced warriors looked at each other and felt relieved.
Sure enough, it was more than just the first level. It was estimated that 'Sheila' was a genius magic apprentice specially trained by a powerful family in the sanctuary.
Generally speaking, guys who are born with strong consciousness will deliberately suppress their own realm when they are young to consolidate their magic foundation.
The Contractor Imps had just arrived in the Sanctuary not long ago, so they must have found the five of them because they were afraid of being ostracized and retaliated after taking action.
Well, this is a normal situation, otherwise it would be stupid to spend a thousand mid-grade magic crystals to hire thugs.
The outfit is complete.
After agreeing on communication gestures with each other, everyone walked quietly into the hilly area.
About twenty minutes later, a small cave that looked like it had just been excavated appeared on a col not far away.
The entrance of the cave is very short, about 1.7 meters high and 1 meter wide. It seems that the height of its owner should be shorter.
He is probably a pampered short fat man! Wright speculated in his mind.
Swish!
The young man named Cang turned around and made a few gestures to everyone.
The general meaning is that Mr. Wright and others please surround the cave. They will later set up traps to lure the target out.
"..."
Wright didn't make a sound, nodded silently, and then scattered around with his four companions. I was a little curious about what kind of dirty methods these contractors would use.
Generally speaking, it is very difficult to lure intelligent life forms out of caves, and it is not as easy as directly destroying them.
Because most magicians will set up barriers in caves or build magic workshops, there will be no shortage of related escape routes.
No one is stupid enough to give up home field advantage and expose themselves to danger.
Therefore, the decoy party needs to create enough bait at the entrance of the cave to attract the other party to come out without exposing themselves.
Release ferocious beasts to attack the cave? Faking a minor natural disaster? Triggering bans by dressing up as a wounded sergeant or a lost businessman?
These are common methods used in mercenary and bandit circles...
Not long after, Cang started to take action.
He first put a blanket covered with weeds around his body, and then crept toward the col. He looked no different from the nearby land.
When he was about twenty meters away from the cave entrance, Cang took out a 10 cm long plastic sheet from his sleeve.
This was a prop he used to measure wind direction and speed in the field when he was a killer.
Use standard equipment to roughly calibrate the plastic sheet, and measure the wind speed according to the degree of bending of the plastic sheet during use.
This kind of thing is simple, easy to use and easy to carry, and it will not be suspected by others. It is one of the props commonly used by professional killers.
Whoosh.
A warm autumn wind blew in my face, making the weeds on my body rustle.
Seeing this, Cang immediately seized this opportunity to blend in with nature and began to twist her waist rhythmically, as if she were a weed.
Xu Fei, who was not far away, nodded silently. This was Cang's signal for action.
Xu Fei squatted down and tied bundles of plants covered with granular fruits around his body until his whole body became round and round.
Since no one dares to use space storage equipment (because it will cause consciousness fluctuations), Xu Fei, who needs to carry a lot of items, cannot simply mimic the turf like Cang.
He plays a fruitful shrub.
After some time, the 'bush' slowly moved forward.
Then it took five or six minutes for the ink to successfully merge with the 'turf', which made everyone in the distance feel itchy.
"..."
Wright stood on the branch with his hands crossed, impatient and at the same time more alert.
He felt that this group of contractors were cautious and professional in ambush. Could it be that they were bandits before coming to the sanctuary?
When dealing with such dishonest people, be careful of the other party trying to burn bridges.
For example, after beating the target, you can then snatch their property or something...
After the brief contact between the 'bush' and 'turf', they continued to crawl towards the entrance of the hole.
According to Cang's instructions, based on the current wind speed, the best induction position is about five meters further forward.
