Not long after the undead retreated, Old Walker finally found a new clue
“They left a trace!”
Old Walker and Sereck becaraved on a nearby tree trunk
“They’re nearby… I think they should be over there!”
Old Walker pointed towards a dark cave not far away from them Even if Old Walker didn’t point out to theraved on the cave surface, everyone could guess what happened from the undead corpses scattered at the entrance A messy trail of footprints also revealed that there was so wasn’t right
“Let’s go”
Rhode didn’t want to linger in this forest for too long so he quickly beckoned his group toso far, they were only about two-thirds through Silent Plateau They still had one-third roup
However, other than Sereck, everyone else appeared to be exhausted The short rest fro at their status right now, Rhode felt like they were similar to those NPCs that didn’t want to hinder the player and would sacrifice their lives to help pave the way to conquer the final boss
Rhode certainly didn’t want things to turn out like that Atteht the final boss alone without tearoup to follow closely behind him as he entered the dark cave
Woosh!+ When Rhode entered the cave, all of a sudden, a dagger flashed in the darkness and ruthlessly lunged towards Rhode’s neck Clearly that attack was meant to kill
If it were anyone else, perhaps their life would end right there without any resistance Unfortunately, the hidden assailant didn’t know that Rhode was different As the top player in Dragon Soul Continent, Rhode often encountered sneak attacks from PKers As such, the moment the hidden assailant attacked, his automatic reflexes kicked in
He used his sword to parry the dagger and counterattacked ihtly surprised that its attack was seen through and quickly atteive it a chance to do so as he thrust his sword towards the direction of the dagger, stopping directly before its throat
“Stop! Rhode, it’s an ally”
Sereck quickly stopped Rhode when he recognized the dagger Lize ran forward and illuht
Finally, Rhode could see the appearance of his assailant
Half of her face was covered in a black ure and emphasized her well-endowed chest whichears trembled as her eyes focused on the sword at her neck
It was a half-elf
“Are you the roup?”
Rhode retrieved his sword and asked emotionlessly as if the person who attacked him wasn’t her
“Yes, I’uys froht”
Sereck walked forward
“I am Sereck We’ve received a reinforcement request from one of your members and rushed here as fast as we could It seems like we’ve arrived on time”
“Y-you are Mr Sereck!”
The half-elf girl’s eyes lit up
“You guys really carabbed Sereck’s hand and pulled him towards the depths of the cave
“We followed our leader’s orders to flee here…”
As she led the way, she briefed the group about their current plight
“Initially, our leader didn’t plan to enter the depths of Silent Plateau because we kno treacherous this place was But ere at the outer borders, ere attacked and surrounded by the undead We decided to flee — but by the tih we did try to break through the waves of undead, we never succeeded So… we had no choice but to venture deeper to look for a way out”
“Well, you know the rest of the story Many of us got injured and our leader had to send souys arrived so quickly… otherwise…”

“Who is it?”
When everyone arrived at the end of the cave, a deep voice echoed
“It’s me The people from Mercenary association have arrived!”
“What?!”
That deep voice iher
“They actually ca the sound shook the cave slightly A boulder at the end of the cave rolled to the side, revealing a hidden passage At the same time, a tall and muscular man came out from the entrance When his eyes met Sereck and the others, his face lit up with joy
