Chapter 502 Trap!
Arcot City,

"Where should we go first?"

Xia Zuo looked at the human city with some curiosity and said to Eric beside him.

"You are the captain, shouldn't you be the one making the decisions?"

Eric also came to Akote City for the first time, but he was much more stable than Xia Zuo.

Their elf team [Nature's Wrath] came to Akot City with their mission, and the team leader was Xia Zuo.

The reason why Xia Zuo became the captain of the [Nature's Wrath] team was not because of his elder who was a councilor of the Emerald City, but because of his own strength.

After a period of training and improvement in [Nature's Wrath], Xia Zuo successfully passed the test prepared by Li Si and officially became a member of [Nature's Wrath].

After being bestowed with the Mark of the World Tree by Li Si, his strength also improved significantly.

In fact, the compatibility between the World Tree Mark and the elves is indeed very good. After being bestowed with the World Tree Mark by Li Si, basically all the elves not only have their strength significantly enhanced, but their progress has also become much faster.

After obtaining the Mark of the World Tree, Xia Zuo quickly broke through from the silver level to the gold level, reaching the same level as Xiandel.

At the same time, Xia Zuo quickly mastered all the knowledge and skills taught by Li Si, so he became the captain of the second batch of [Nature's Wrath] elf team.

His good friend Eric was not much behind him and after a while he also successfully broke through to the gold level.

Because of their relationship, Eric chose to become the deputy captain of the Xiazuo Elf Team.

The two of them came to Akot City with other team members to complete the tasks assigned to them.

"Hey, you know me. This has never been my forte!"

Xia Zuo said confidently, completely unaware of the strange looks from other teammates.

"This is the mission assigned to us by Lord Agri. In addition to us, there are two other teams waiting outside the city for our news."

"Be careful. Don't think you can get away with anything just because you've broken through to the Gold Stage."

"If it weren't for Lord Li Si, we wouldn't know when we would break through to the gold level!"

Eric shook his head. As a good friend, he knew Xia Zuo's character very well.

He is excellent in both talent and ability, but sometimes his somewhat frivolous attitude makes people feel uneasy.

"Ok, I know."

Xia Zuo's face straightened, he nodded and said.

"I have been observing since entering the city, and it seems that everyone here knows who we are."

"But they seem to be very afraid of us, even though we have never attacked anyone other than the Elf Slave Catchers."

Eric was certain in his heart that Xia Zuo's frivolousness just now seemed to be just an act.

Yes, it’s such an important matter, we have to be nervous no matter what.

"It should be from Lord Li Si's arrangement."

Eric lowered his voice so that only they could hear him:
"You remember when we were chasing those slave-hunting groups in the Forest of Elves, Lord Li Si specifically asked us not to kill them all."

“We need to let one or two people go back and let them know our attitude towards the Wrath of Nature.”

"It seems that Lord Li Si's arrangement has worked very well. Once the news spreads, at least people in the neighboring human kingdoms will know about [Nature's Wrath]."

“Awe and fear are the best ways to keep those with bad intentions away from the forest.”

"That's what Lord Agri said, and I didn't understand what it meant until now."

"This is really good and saves us a lot of trouble."

Xia Zuo nodded, changed his tone and said:
"But, in this situation, where can we get information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group?"

"It seems like these people don't dare to approach us."

Xia Zuo scratched his head, looked around and said.

"The mercenary tavern or the intelligence dealer should be able to help. If that doesn't work, we can go to the Church of the Gods and ask for help."

"But it's better not to go to the Church of the Gods. After all, they are just a cooperative relationship with us."

"Ah."

Xia Zuo nodded slightly, he thought so too.

The Hungry Wolf Mercenaries are a rather special and low-key mercenary group whose members are all humans. They are active in the area around the Elf Forest to complete commissioned missions.

Although they act low-key and mysterious, the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries are also considered a large mercenary group.

Before, [Wrath of Nature] had never paid attention to this mercenary group, but when it hunted down the leader of an elven slave-hunting group, it obtained a very crucial piece of information from him.

Before, many elf slave-hunting groups, after capturing elves, did not directly take the elves out of the forest, but instead traded with the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries.

It is equivalent to selling the elves directly to the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries as commodities.

After Nature's Wrath's secret investigation during this period, they found that most of the mercenaries in the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group were actually unaware of this matter.

Many mercenaries of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group did not know about the elf trade, and all clues finally pointed to a team in the mercenary group called Mosa.

It is said that this team reports directly to Joe Xu'er, the leader of the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries. They are usually quite mysterious and many people don't know what they are doing.

Finally, the clues about the Mosa detachment pointed to the city of Akot, so Agli asked Xia Zuo's team to come first to inquire and obtain intelligence.

"Then let's go. It's better for us to act together just in case."

"From now on, we will search the entire continent for traces of the Abyss Demons. Although we are still facing those mercenaries this time, this is also the first time our team has tried to go to other races!"

"It must be successful!"

Xia Zuo spoke to his companions in a low but serious tone.

The other elves looked serious and nodded earnestly.

Sometimes, Xia Zuo is still very leadership!
After Eric opened the map and determined the location, he led everyone towards the Mercenary Tavern.

As the sun sets, the orange-red sunlight covers this city built on the mountain with a warm windbreaker.

Xia Zuo and Eric stood at the intersection of a dilapidated alley and turned around with somewhat grim expressions.

The other elves had been standing at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the two captains to appear.

"I think that intelligence dealer must know something."

Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice.

He and Eric traveled a lot in Arcot City today. They went to the mercenary tavern and normal intelligence dealers, but they didn't get any valuable information.

It seems that no one knows the situation of the Mosa Squad in the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries.

However, in the mercenary tavern, Eric also got the address of this underground intelligence dealer from the tavern waiter, and came to give it a try with the mentality of just in case.

However, the other party claimed that although he knew the information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries, he had never heard of the name Mosa.

Although the other party concealed it very well and was even selling other information about the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries to Xia Zuo, as a ranger, he still noticed that the other party was frozen and astonished for a moment when he heard this name.

However, no matter how Xia Zuo and Eric asked, even promising a large sum of money, the skinny intelligence dealer still shook his head and insisted that it was not true.

Xia Zuo and Eric had no choice but to leave.

After all, this is the capital of the Kingdom of Bolin, and they also have to pay attention to the impact.

"Then what do we do now?"

Eric looked at Xia Zuo and asked softly.

Xia Zuo shook his head slightly, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

"Go back now?" Eric suggested.

In addition to them, there are two elf teams waiting outside the city, ready to cooperate with Xia Zuo's team's actions.

Xia Zuo's team first entered the city of Akote to collect intelligence, but the current situation made Xia Zuo a little difficult to decide.

Although Xia Zuo was not given a time limit, he felt embarrassed to go back empty-handed without finding anything.

Especially since the team led by Xiandel was also outside the city, Xia Zuo subconsciously didn't want to go back in such a shameful way.

"No hurry, there's still enough time. Let's investigate again tomorrow. If there's no result, we can go back."

After much deliberation, Xia Zuo finally decided.

"What should I do?"

"Let's go to the base first."

Eric said to Xia Zuo.

The residence he was talking about was the residence of the Iliser family in the city of Akot.

After Li Si formed "Nature's Wrath", these places became the organization's private land and strongholds for members to rest.

Just as several elves were preparing to head to the base according to the map, a figure suddenly flashed on the street ahead.

"team leader!"

No one else noticed, but an elf in the team suddenly spoke up.
"Walker, what's wrong?"

Xia Zuo asked in a low voice.

"The figure just now had a tattoo of the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries on his right arm!"

Walker said affirmatively. As the ranger with the best eyesight in the team, he was very confident about this.

"Someone from the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Xia Zuo murmured to himself, thoughtfully.

"Something's wrong, Xia Zuo!"

Eric looked over, his face somewhat gloomy.

"How could it be such a coincidence? We were looking for someone from the Hungry Wolf Mercenaries, and just then a man with a Hungry Wolf tattoo appeared in front of us."

"I know."

Xia Zuo nodded, and after a moment of silence, he continued:

"Walker, you come with me."

"no problem."

The ranger named Walker responded crisply.

"Eric, you and the others don't need to go to the base. Go directly to the outside of the city to find Xiandel and the others."

"I'll leave a mark for you, just follow me when the time comes."

"No, I don't agree."

Eric shook his head and said:
"You knew it was a trap, so why did you jump into it?"

"They must know that we are from Nature's Wrath, but they still do this. They must have something to rely on."

"But this is also a rare opportunity, isn't it?"

Xia Zuo also knew that something was wrong, but he was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.

After all, he had gained nothing today, and he finally found some clues. Even if it was a bait that ran away, he was ready to follow it.

Seeing that Eric was about to persuade him, Xia Zuo waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Okay, I know the importance of this."

"You know, I have my confidence."

Seeing this, Eric knew that Xia Zuo had made up his mind.

Eric knew the trump card he mentioned. With that card in hand, there was no need to worry about Xia Zuo's safety.

After making a quick decision, Eric didn't hesitate, nodded, and left quickly with the others.

"Go, Walker!"

Xia Zuo and Walker then rushed in the direction where the figure disappeared.

After turning a corner, the suspicious figure appeared in their sight again.

As if it was waiting for them, it ran off in a secluded direction.

How deliberate!
Xia Zuo felt emotional, but his vigilance did not diminish at all.

Three figures walked one after another along the alley.

After a while, the feeling in Xia Zuo's heart became heavier.

Something is wrong!
No matter how secluded the place is, it can't be simple without other people around!

At this moment, the figure who had been walking in front stopped and turned around.

A pale, stiff face appeared in front of the two elves, and a cold, evil aura swept through the entire alley like a tide.

This should be a corpse possessed by a gold-level undead. It exudes a dark aura that seems to be able to swallow up all the vitality around it, like a dead tide, plunging the entire alley into deathly silence.

In just a moment, Xia Zuo felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

Undead!

Golden level undead!

So strong!

Xia Zuo reacted quickly. Although he had little contact with it, this characteristic, which was completely different from the breath of life, was still very clear.

laugh!
Xia Zuo grabbed Walker's shoulders and threw him far away.

There were many tiny holes on the ground where Walker had just stood, and there were signs of continuous corrosion on the edges.

Xia Zuo's face was gloomy. Just from this confrontation, he knew that he had no chance of defeating the undead in front of him.

As an elf ranger, Xia Zuo was extremely disgusted by the aura of the undead, and was holding his breath, preparing to find a chance to escape.

However, although the undead in front of him moved in a very strange posture, its speed was beyond Xia Zuo's imagination, and he had no way to get rid of it for a while.

The corpse was like a puppet controlled by the undead. Its sharp nails flashed a pale green light, making Xia Zuo dare not touch it at all.

But it seems to be okay, I don't think I need to use my trump card
Xia Zuo thought to himself.

Suddenly, a warm hand grasped Xia Zuo's neck.

"Are you so careless?"
