TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Shuoo ... Shuooo ...

Several people wearing black robes appeared at the scene after Liu Yang and his group left. A few hours passed after the fight took place.

"Is this the place?" One of them asked.

"Yes. My tracking ability says this is where Hagen and his team were killed. The remnants of energy have already been blown away, which means that the fight was over a few hours ago" The other one commented.

"I see ... It seems that the only clues we have are that the person or group that killed Hagen's group has the power of fire to burn the bodies and something heavy to make these holes in the ground." The person who looked like the group leader commented.

There was a lot of burnt grass on the ground and some not-so-deep holes and there was burnt grass around it.

"Leader, is it possible that someone of high level has appeared and helped our target? Or was our target also killed?"

There was no evidence at the site. Everything was burned and destroyed.

"This is difficult to find out, we need to investigate further. We need to find out who killed our comrades and if that person is too dangerous, we must forget about it. But if he doesn't… We will have to kill him to show that no one can offend the Assassins League" The leader spoke in a cold, penetrating tone.

The Assassins League was an infamous group that killed people for money, but they were also hired as personal security guards for the wealthy and influential nobles. For each member was extremely powerful and skilled.

"Leader, which direction are we going now? We have no clue about the people who passed by this place. Should we go to any city at the end of that road? "

"We will split up and go to the following cities. Wildwick City, Silkhall City, Khelum City, and Temuri City. This road is the path to these four cities, we can get clues as to which people left these cities." The leader analyzed the clues he had and thought of a small plan.

"Roger"

"Do not cause trouble in cities. We cannot let them find out that we are here. This will be a great blow to the Assassins League' reputation and our faction"

"Leader, we understand the situation. I never imagined that I would go back to a low-level place like that. If it weren't for this suppression of power..." One of them spoke discouragingly. They were very powerful in their area, but in the current location, they were just like the others.

"We don't have much to do about it. If that damn Void Hole hadn't appeared. We would have managed to capture that woman. Damn Void Hole!!" The leader complained. He didn't know if that was her luck or their bad luck.

"Leader, that was very strange. A Void Hole does not appear suddenly. There is always some kind of signal before that happens "

"I already asked headquarters to investigate this matter. Our current job is to find that woman and those responsible for the deaths of Hagen and his group."

"Roger !!" The group broke up. They formed pairs and left, each pair headed towards one of the cities.

…

Liu Yang and his group were traveling normally as before. They did not know that someone appeared at the place where they were before.

The group did not travel the road as before, halfway, they took a detour across the plains. This is to prevent them from being found by other people in the middle of the road.

The sky was already dark and the night came, at least five hundred nocturnal creatures were roaming the plains around the defensive barrier. The creatures this time are rats, but the size of an adult tiger. They were too big.

Unlike ordinary rats, the cursed rat had sharp claws like knives, pointed fur, and a long, sharp tail like a sword. The group of rats was around the barrier waiting for it to break for them to attack.

"Young master, are we not going to train today? My hand is shaking to hunt" Alwine asked. She was looking at the group of rats with her two eyes as bright as gems. The twisted and excited smile on her face was not hidden.

The two nobles looked at Alwine in fear, as she looked very frightening. The two were sitting in a corner of the carriage, they were nervous about Liu Yang and his group.

"Not today, I'm already a little tired. You too, right? " Liu Yang was lying on the grass looking at the starless, dark sky.

"Boring" Alwine lay on top of the carriage car. She started meditating to try to stop her excitement.

"Young master, the food is ready" Callie and Nancy were cooking this time. They didn't want Liu Yang to be the only one who knew how to cook.

As slaves and maids, they must learn to cook for Liu Yang.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Yang asked the two nobles.

"Yes ..." The young woman nodded her head.

"Sister, we cannot trust them. They may have put poison in the food "The boy spoke suspiciously. He was just a child, but his words were quite adult.

"Why do you think I'm going to put poison in the food? I accepted the job of taking you back home to Gold-Minner City "Liu Yang thought the boy was a retard.

"Sister, is that true? Is he taking us back home? What happened to the others? The uncle was not eaten, right? " The boy passed out after seeing one of the soldiers being eaten, so he doesn't know what happened next.

"..." The young woman did not answer her little brother's questions. She just showed a sad face.

"This is not possible ... Uncle cannot die ..." The boy was very sad, some tears started to fall from his eyes.

"Neal, you need to be calm. The uncle made his last request, he wants us to return home safely. You need to be calm, okay? " The young woman finally spoke. She didn't want to see her little brother cry.

"..." Neal just nodded in agreement with his sister's words. He's just a kid, but the scenes he saw were too heavy for him.

"Let's eat" Liu Yang saw that the pair was fine and stood up to Callie and Nancy.

"Young master, today's dish is meat and vegetable soup with cooked vegetables"

The pot was opened and a delicious smell covered the barrier.

"The smell is good. You learned well "Liu Yang praised the two women.

"Thank you, young master"

"Roar !!" The beasts went to the place too, they were already hungry.

"Alwine, aren't you going to eat?" Liu Yang asked.

"I'm on my way" Alwine was finished meditating before eating.

The dishes were delivered to each one. They enjoyed the food and the long night's sleep.

"I don't want to eat this. That kind of thing is plebeian food" Neal complained. As a child who always ate the best and expensive foods, seeing something ordinary like soup was something he was not used to eating.
