Chapter 970: Forbidden Zone (2/2)

But before he didn't anything drastic, he decided to test the corpse a bit. But before that he returned his focus back to the situation at hand.

The Azure demon family is bound to confirm that Sark is using these avoided routes even if this demon that just died didn't inform. They would just relate his disappearance to Sark killing him when he was being tailed.

If that demon lived and informed the family directly, they would have confirmed it directly, the death would be confirmed indirectly.

”Did he spot you in your hiding?” Sam asked after some thought.

”No, the only reason, he caught me is because I came out of the hiding to tail Sark. From the looks of it, he is already on the lookout in that path.” Sia explained her observations.

”Assuming that, this guy was already inside that path, then we know that the demon family knew about these paths and just wanted to be sure before they proceeded. And if you are right, then they must have placed someone like him in other properties too.

If all of them are placed in these paths, then we are safe. We stayed out of range and far away and didn't tail after him immediately, so there is little chance that we are spotted.

But by any chance we were spotted, there would be people coming to look for us. Then we need to maintain a united front. We are some bounty hunters trying to get some reward. We are all a team. Luckily, the saber Monarch and the Five elemental King are not extremely popular here. So, it would be hard for them to identify you.

Now, before we proceed, we need to know something about the paths and some more information and the placing of these people.”

Sam explained their current position and took a look at the corpse.

”Let us hope this works.”

He muttered and let the Specter out to conduct the memory extraction from the soul. It has been a while since the person died, luckily the body was thrown into the spatial ring as soon as he died which made it possible for some extraction.

The Specter absorbed the partial memories that came to him and sent them to Sam.

Sam closed his eyes and looked through all kinds of scattered memories and put pieces together.

”There is some good news and bad news.” He said after digesting the memories.

”Bad news is that this guy also doesn't know much about these paths. Except for the fact all of these paths lead to a forbidden zone. Even though it is common knowledge, it is even forbidden for the people to talk about this forbidden zone.

As for Good news, we are sure that Sark is near this forbidden zone, because as soon as he strays out of that path leading to forbidden zone to go into the woods, he would die. There are too many beasts. The path leading to the forbidden zone is the only safest place that deep into the woods.

But it leads to the most dangerous place of all and the forbidden zone is the only connecting point for all these paths and properties.

And another good news is that there was only person sent to be stationed in these paths at each property so that they wouldn't attract attention and cause Sark to not attack. So, there is minimal chance that we could have been spotted.”

They all understood their present situation now.

”We need to find out about the forbidden zone.”

”Yes, we do. But it is not exactly possible at the moment. Even this guy who seemed to be of a decent level in the family doesn't know about it, so our only options are go after an elder level person directly or go into the forbidden zone directly.”

They started discussing different ideas bouncing off of each other and finally, they managed to come up with a plan.

But for that, they need to wait for the demon family to make their move and they also have to move nearby the property that Sia just came from.

The investigation of the family will definitely begin from there and they will try to learn what happened to the person they sent. After confirming that person's death, they would straight up go to the forbidden zone for sure.

Sam is counting on the fact that they would send an elder level person to confirm and even if they didn't, they would eventually do as every person they sent there to confirm start to disappear mysteriously and die after they came to check here.

They would lure that elder no matter what and find out what they are dealing with.
