Chapter 166: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 5
Kayn nodded to the others and in the next moment, they immediately disappeared.
Whoosh!
"Where did they go?!"
As soon as Kayn's group vanished, the man with whom Kayn had been conversing a short while ago expressed immediate surprise. He turned out to be the leader of the second group.
"Over there!" One of his men pointed.
"Quickly chase after them!" The man hurriedly orders his men.
Just like what Kayn had initially expected, the first group also chased after them along with the second group. Not only that, a third group came out not far away and also went chasing after them.
"It's just like what you've said," Gilbert muttered after glimpsing behind him. "Time to split up,"
Whoosh!
Gilbert disappeared through the trees.
"Be careful, I think they are planning on splitting up to divert our attention," The man warned the leaders of the two groups behind him.
"What if they are simply planning to escape?"
"Exactly! And they plan to separate from the group one at a time,"
"In that case, make sure to focus on the remaining three," The man immediately changed his plan. It is already too late for them to chase after the person who disappeared just now, so their best way left is to make sure that it won't happen again.
"Understood!"
The two leaders nodded at each other as they quickly comprehended the man's plan.
With the change of plan, the three groups immediately fan out so that no one else would be able to escape anymore.
"They took the bait," Charles quickly informs Kayn after noticing the change in their enemy's formation.
"Then proceed to the next step," Kayn signals everyone to slightly slow down so that they can give their enemy some false hope of catching up.
Such a thought would no doubt excite their enemies, thus preventing them from thinking about Gilbert. As soon as that happens, the latter would be able to perfectly launch a surprise attack.
"They're slowing down!"
"Now's the time," The man smiled.
Hearing that, all three groups simultaneously hasten their speed.
All of a sudden…
Whoosh!
Bang!
Three mages who were chasing from the rear suddenly dropped to the ground with lifeless bodies.
"Watch out, there's an ambush!" One of the leaders quickly informs the other.
"Shit! Who's there?!" The man exclaimed in a sudden halt while motioning his hand to signal the other to stop pursuing Kayn's group.
"Over there!"
Whoosh!
"Ah!"
"Unbelievable!" The man was greatly taken aback by the sudden and swift demise of their last mage. As a result, their team now lacked any remaining mages, leaving them with no alternative but to engage in close-quarters combat.
Unfortunately, their target would definitely not allow that to happen.
Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, two warriors were sent blasting away after two fireballs blew up on their bodies.
"They're counterattacking!"
"Tanks, keep them distracted!" The man plans on killing the person hiding in the forest first before dealing with the others. And he has solid proof that it was the person who separated from the main group not long ago.
Unbeknownst to the man, his decision turned out to be a bad choice.
Boom!
Bang!
Boooshhh!
In an instant, the three tanks that were intent on blocking Kayn and the others' path were easily sent flying away and soon came crashing on the ground as if arrows that falling from the sky.
Boom!
"This…" The man was in complete disbelief as he slowly turn his head to look at Kayn and the others who are now beating the living daylight of his remaining men.
Whoosh!
"Yow!"
"You…" The man stared with eyes wide open at Gilbert who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Have a nice sleep," Gilbert uttered before sending a punch to the man's face.
Bang!
It didn't take long for Kayn's group to defeat the three groups.
"Are you really sure that we don't have to kill any of them?" Charles can't help asking as he threw the last person inside a prison cell made out of vines that Jude has conjured.
As of now, all the men are now almost nude after Kayn and the others removed any and all useful weapons and equipment they possess, including their Storage Rings, of course. What's worst was, they are all still unconscious.
"If their organization possesses even a trace of compassion within them, they should be capable of returning safely.," Kayn replied.
"What if they aren't?"
"Then I guess that's the end of the road for them. At the very least we gave them a chance to live. If continuing to live isn't meant for them, then we'll have to take accountability for that, and they'll also have to accept their own fate," After saying that, Kayn turns around to leave. "We still have a job to do, so quickly follow after me after you are done pitying them,"
What he has done isn't actually heartless. In fact, he is already being merciful enough to them. And his only reason for doing so is that they didn't cause that much harm to him. As a matter of fact, he barely even had to fight them as Gilbert and the others did most of the work themselves.
Moreover, he also wasn't sure whether they were intent on killing them or not as he didn't sense the slightest of killing intent all this time. Most likely they were only thieves, which explains the reason why they don't dare go deeper inside the Slumbering Forest. Of course, there are always exceptions, just that it doesn't include these people.
"Wait up," Gilbert quickly chases after Kayn along with Jude and Charles.
The three took one last look at the unconscious men inside the prison made out of vines before finally turning away and following Kayn.
Following the direction of where the man pointed to them, they soon discovered the exact location of where their main force was waiting.
