Chapter 918: Poisoned Boulder (2/2)

Moreover, it was said that Edmond had many trump cards, Captain Berk felt he had to use a trump card of his own to go against Captain Edmond.

'So, everyone, be careful. I don't want anything to go wrong today.'

After saying those words, Captain Berk slowly reached the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave.

'Move away from a little.'

He said those words to his squad members and he didn't wait for them to move away before he used a punch to break the boulder into pieces.

'Aargh'

As soon as the boulder broke into pieces, two of the Quickthunder mercenary squad members fell to the ground as they started groaning.

'Aargh'

'Aarghh'

With time, their groans became louder before leaving their last breath.

'What the hell? How did they die?'

All the Quickthunder mercenary squad members were shocked to see that two of their own died right in front of their eyes without knowing how.

Even though they saw the injuries from the rock shards from destroying the boulder on those two squad members, they were very sure that their fellow squad members didn't die because of those rock shards.

'Holy heck! If my senses were not upgraded by the demonization, I would have died just like them.'

As for Ajax, when he thought about it, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat because he dodged a couple of small rocks.

'Damn it...I should have expected it.'

However, Captain Berk became furious when he thought of how his squad members must have died.

'That entire boulder was poisoned with something. You better don't touch those rock shards if you want to live.'

Soon, Captain Berk controlled his emotions as he explained the reason behind the death of his squad member.

'What? Poisoned?'

All the squad members were shocked as they never heard that someone would poison a boulder.

'As expected of Captain Edmond. Always cautious and careful.'

Unlike them, Ajax silently thought to himself as he continued thinking, 'I wonder how many more traps are placed by Captain Edmond and Uncle Udo. I have to be careful; otherwise, it is no use staying alive until now.'

When that thought came to his mind, Ajax thought to be careful from here onwards while entering the cave.

'Captain Berk, I think there would be more traps. What do you think we should do?'

One of the squad members silently transmitted his voice to Captain Berk.

Even though the Quickthunder mercenary squad members were not very intelligent, they were not fools either. So, they were able to guess there would be more hidden traps in the cave.

'Why are you worried about the traps? We already have someone to test them, right?'
