Chapter 919: Entering the cave (1/2)

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

Captain Berk looked at his squad members as he revealed an evil smile on his face.

'Hm'

All the squad members looked at each other before looking at Ajax with pity; however, they were not going to back Ajax because he was not their friend or relative.

'Kid, go inside the cave and check whether Captain Edmond and Udo are inside it.'

Soon, Captain Berk looked at Ajax with an amicable smile; however, in Ajax's view, it was not suitable for his face.

'What? Me? Captain Berk, isn't it dangerous for me to go?'

Ajax was shocked as he didn't expect to become cannon fodder for the Quickthunder mercenary squad.

So, he whispered to them with a shocked look on his face.

'I didn't think you were such a coward.'

'No wonder, your squad left you in the middle of the cursed wilderness.'

'You can barely run, barely fight and whine a lot. So, what is the use in taking you with us?'

Hearing Ajax's words, all the squad members became furious and started mocking him.

'You guys, wait for a second.'

Seeing that all his squad members were furious, the captain of the squad stopped them as he turned his head at Ajax before saying, 'Kid, this is not a request. It's an order. Since we are helping you in getting out of this Cursed Wilderness, you have to contribute something, right?'

'...'

Ajax was speechless at their words as he thought, 'You are basically sending me to my death and saying that you are helping me out.'

Ajax cursed the entire Quickthunder mercenary squad as he nodded his head, 'I will enter the cave.'

'Good.'

'That's how you repay someone's kindness.'

'You will become a top cultivator someday, kid.'

Soon, all the squad members started encouraging him as they sent him to his possible death.

'Compared to the demons that try to invade us, you are the real demons in human clothing.'

Ajax cursed all the squad members as he silently moved towards the entrance.

'Captain Edmond, I am Ajax.'

How could Ajax just enter into his death? So, before he could enter the cave, he stopped in his tracks as he tried to communicate with Captain Edmond.

Even though Ajax didn't know how deep the cave was and how many traps were hidden in the cave, he wanted to make sure that he would not be killed in the process of entering the cave.

So, he wanted to contact Captain Edmond and wanted to know the traps beforehand.

'Ajax?'

Soon, Ajax got a reply from Captain Edmond that made Ajax excited as he immediately replied, 'Yes, Captain Edmond. I am Ajax.'

'Why are you here? Did you get captured by the Quickthunder mercenary squad?'

Captain Edmond hurriedly asked a couple of questions.
