Chapter 2606: Death Woodland

At the edge of the Water Source Area, a large number of vines clung to a wooden shed. A skull weathered to gray-white hung inside the shed, nailed with many black spikes, representing the Rain Throat Tribe.

Several contractors stood or sat near the wooden shed. Their complexions were not very good, and two of them were shirtless, dealing with the wounds on their bodies.

"Ice Lord, don't you want to say something?"

The female contractor carrying a sniper cannon spoke. At this moment, very shallow bloodstains could still be seen on her face.

"What do I say? The siege plan was set by Axiwa. I rushed in the direction he specified."

"Are you a blockhead? If there's a trap, can't you bypass it?"

The female sniper glanced at Ice Lord, secretly despising him in her heart. She had seen many tank-types, but this was the first time she had seen one who shouted so miserably after being slashed.

"Saying it easily, a charge that breaks the limit speed, you try turning a corner for me to see. You, hiding in the distance, are very comfortable, aren't you?"

"Stop arguing, it's the perception-type's problem."

Someone spoke to smooth things over. Now, whoever wasn't there, they would throw the blame on them to avoid internal conflicts.

"Including me, we are all a mob."

The female sniper's words made everyone silent. According to normal circumstances, if they had all gone all out, even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.

In the battle just now, except for Ice Lord, the assassin-type Razor, and Axiwa, no one else dared to rush toward Su Xiao first. One melee-type brother even took out a green-quality shotgun and sprayed Su Xiao to relieve the awkwardness of not daring to rush toward Su Xiao during the battle. As for the actual effect, it was basically equal to nothing.

At this moment, the shotgun brother was hugging his arms and discussing the battle just now with several people present. His voice was quite loud, and he acted as if he would have rushed up during the battle if it weren't for Axiwa's arrangement.

"What weapon did you use during the battle just now?"

A slightly hoarse female voice came from behind the shotgun brother. It was Axiwa returning.

"Secret weapon, don't underestimate gunpowder weapons."

The shotgun brother tried to save his last bit of face. Axiwa turned her head to look at him, her gaze as if it had penetrating power.

"Really underestimated you."

Axiwa's words made the shotgun brother only able to smile awkwardly.

No one spoke again. In this silent atmosphere, a figure walked out from the bushes. Seeing this figure, Axiwa felt relieved in her heart. The squad's healer, Cocoa Bean, was still alive.

"Still 10 people short. Where are we going after everyone gathers? To find Naji Jia? I don't have a good impression of that guy. Compared to him, I even feel that the Illusionist is more credible."

Ice Lord said in a deep voice, seeking Axiwa's opinion. After the battle just now, the behavior of Axiwa choosing to stay behind made several people present trust her more.

"Except for finding Naji Jia, we have no other choice. Luck is also a manifestation of strength. Moreover, this person Naji Jia... is very scary."

Axiwa seemed to be disgusted or afraid of Naji Jia, but she still needed the other party now.

Just as everyone was discussing Naji Jia, another figure walked out from the dense forest.

"Dark Wood, you now, immediately, explain to me how you perceived the terrain just now. Such an obvious trap, you didn't find it?"

Ice Lord stood up. The healer Cocoa Bean and the shotgun brother beside him pulled him.

"Mistake, that kind of silk thread shields perception."

The perception-type called Dark Wood walked out from the dense forest, found a Wangtian tree, and sat against it.

The leaves above were blown to rustle. Su Xiao released his perception, and after a moment, he retracted it, considering it as completing the duties of a perception-type. Using the enemy's blood to disguise had almost no flaws, but the time was short. Even if the number of blood samples was sufficient, it could only disguise for 6-7 hours at most.

The infiltration was successful, and now he just had to wait.

"Ice Lord, everyone makes mistakes."

Axiwa looked at Ice Lord, her gaze turning to Su Xiao, signaling Su Xiao to say something.

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone makes mistakes. Ice Lord, calm down."

The shotgun brother patted Ice Lord on the shoulder, but Ice Lord brushed off the shotgun brother's arm, which made the shotgun brother's expression stiffen.

As the saying goes, endure for a moment and you'll get angrier, take a step back and you'll feel more at a loss. Ice Lord remembered his miserable state when he was slashed and walked toward Su Xiao with large strides.

Ice Jue strode over, aggressive and overbearing. The guy called "Spray" on the side seemed to want to persuade him further, but was glared at by Ice Jue.

"Perception-type, if there is a next time, I will resist the punishment of the temporary contract and fight you to the death."

"Oh."

"You guy."

The anger in Ice Lord's heart burned even more, and finally, he snorted coldly. He didn't dare to go too far; after all, this was just a temporary squad.

After waiting for nearly an hour, no other contractors came to gather. Originally, 16 people should have been alive, but at this moment, only 6 people came to gather, namely: Su Xiao, Ice Lord, Axiwa, the female sniper, the healer Cocoa Bean, and the shotgun brother. No one else came.

"Could it be..."

Cocoa Bean thought of the most terrible result, which was that except for the people present, no one else would come to gather.

"Even if they died on the way back, there should be the sound of battle. You guys... heard it?"

Axiwa's gaze looked at Su Xiao, meaning for Su Xiao to detect the situation around them on a large scale.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground, releasing his perception completely, striving to increase the perception range to the maximum. As for accuracy, his perception was used for melee combat. Once the range was expanded, it was very different from a real perception-type, but if it was capturing the enemy's attack trajectory at close range, he completely crushed the perception-type.

After a moment, Su Xiao opened his eyes.

"A total of 10 suspicious corpses were found, all distributed around."

"Is there that guy's aura?"

"Not found, only the blood aura released during the battle, and... a kind of barrier-like ability is dissipating."

After listening to Su Xiao's words, Axiwa's face was very ugly. These 10 people died in a way that was unbelievable. Based on her judgment, even if Reincarnation Paradise's Bai Ye was strong, he wasn't strong enough to make these 10 people have no chance to fight back. The problem should be with that barrier-like ability, which covered up the sound and fluctuations of the battle.

Of course, the barrier didn't exist, but Su Xiao was a perception-type now. If he said there was, then there was. If others held opposing opinions, the dead would not raise any opinions.

"Axiwa, should we go and confirm the situation of those corpses."

Ice Lord spoke. Clearly, after the battle just now, he didn't trust the perception-type Su Xiao was disguised as.

Axiwa hesitated, but what she didn't know was that if she chose to take the risk to check those corpses, Su Xiao would strike directly.

"Retreat, it's not safe here. Pay attention to the fluctuations around the perception."

Axiwa stepped toward the center of the Water Source Area. At this moment, it had already become the base camp of the survivors.

"Are we going to find Naji Jia? To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of this person."

Cocoa Bean frowned tightly. Every time she saw the other party, she had a fear from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that in the other party's eyes, she was no longer a living thing, but livestock on the slaughterhouse table.

"We have no other choice. Naji Jia holds the method to open the altar. Without getting White Amber through the altar, we can't pass through the Death Woodland. According to Naji Jia, after passing through the Death Woodland, it is the territory of the 'Dia Tribe' and the 'Tiger Bee Lord'. That is the true appearance of this world. We are actually trapped in these three major areas: Water Source Area, Swamp Area, and Tiger Bee Area. One squad killing one hunter is the entry qualification set by Naji Jia."

Axiwa's words made the mood of Ice Lord and others even worse. As long as they passed through the Death Woodland, they wouldn't have to worry about the threat of hunters, and they could even get a huge amount of benefits. ===== CHAPTER 2607 =====
