Chapter 186: The God of Games Saw Through Everything Already (2/2)

Gou Dan: “…”

So there really was something fishy after all?

Furthermore, there could be no half-heartedness with a quest assigned personally by the God of Games—being one of Xi Wei’s earliest believers, Gou Dan’s faith was quite strong.

And after ascertaining that the slave hunters he was seeing were bait, Gou Dan noticed certain details he missed as well.

For example, instead of carrying out their slave hunting business which was supposed to be carried out very discreetly, these characters were conversing loudly in the middle of the forest, even making clear their plans for coming to the Trinia Forests. They must have added something to the bonfire they should not light in the first place as well, because it definitely stung the nose.

One wouldn’t be able to tell if they didn’t try to notice it, but if they do pay attention and take note of these signs, it would appear as if the slave hunters were afraid the wood elves wouldn’t notice them…

At that very thought, Gou Dan promptly moved somewhere else to find clues for his quest.

But with no automated navigation and no quest objective on his map, Gou Dan couldn’t find what he wanted after a search around.

That certainly left him very troubled.

“Since the quest title is ‘the Elves’ Greatest Treasure’, could it be some precious object the wood elves had gathered over their long lives? Doesn’t this mean I have to head for the elves’ dwelling to complete this quest?”

[Edward: @Gou Dan Hurry up, the elves are almost finished with the slave hunters’ bait. We might get discovered hiding here once they get wiped out!]

“It’s not like I know what to do even if you say that…” Gou Dan mumbled in frustration.

That was when he profoundly noticed the gap between himself and Edward. That dude was definitely a mage, and yet he hid better than a Junglewalker like Gou Dan himself…

Now far away from the battlefield, Gou Dan suddenly heard a faint noise although he was only looking through the forums.

It sounded like neither the movement of a beast nor the stirring of a magical creature, but more akin to the sound of a human running.

It was exactly like just now, when Edward and the others would never have noticed the wood elves’ presence because their movement was too stealthy and if not for the words hovering above their heads.

“Could one of those slave hunters have fled here?” Gou Dan paused and hurried towards the sound.

He could handily get rid of any escapees since slave hunters were red-named monsters and nothing good.

It would be even better if it wasn’t—that might be a quest objective.

After changing class to Junglewalker, Gou Dan realized that moving in the forests had become easier and swifter for him. Indeed, he was moving more than twice quicker than before!

If his Emerald Heart was charged, this passive ability would actually improve to the next level.

He thought then that his class change was the right one.

After a short moment, he quickly arrived where the sound was and immediately recognized jackpot.
