Chapter 11: Determination
“What’s missing after all!” Tyr muttered to himself, and though Dragon Slayer on the side also discerned some clues, like Tyr, they both felt that something crucial was lacking.
The location was in the northern part of Sis City, where there was only one city gate. Mr. Zack set off from there. After that, they crossed a famous mountain called “Dihu.” The entire mercenary group entered the periphery of the Sang Zang Forest. There, they encountered several attacks by the extinct tigers, a kind of monster mutated from animals, often appearing in groups. However, it was evidently impossible for them to stop Mr. Zack’s mercenary group. After that, they collected a precious plant called “Fairy Music Flower” on the road. A single plant could be sold for two hundred gold coins. They had already spent two hours up to this point. What followed was the hunt for the bounty target, but unfortunately, the opponent possessed the hidden power of a second-stage transformation. Originally comparable to a lower-ranked Broken Army, they became a peak Broken Army after transforming. The difference in strength between the two could be described as heaven and earth. Their leader also had the strength of a middle-ranked Broken Army, but because of this sudden change of events, he was killed instantly by the opponent with a single blow.
After this, they escaped to that strange cave and were casually played with by the bounty heads.
It’s an indisputable fact that the Fairy Music Flower originates from the Sang Zang Great Forest in the north of Sis City. Many people venture there, obtaining just one plant can provide ordinary warriors with worry-free clothing and food.
But although the range where the Fairy Music Flower blooms is small, it’s still as large as Sis City. Tyr simply couldn’t accurately determine where exactly Zack and the others picked the Fairy Music Flower.
Tyr moved his finger on the map back to the entrance of the northern part of Sis City.
“Since they departed from here, then crossed the Dihu Mountain, the route should converge. On the right front of Dihu Mountain, there is a huge lake. Obviously, they wouldn’t pass through here, so the other side is here… Mr. Zack, did you draw a route map when you went there?”
“Yes, but it was with the vice squad leader, unfortunately, he died outside.”
The vice squad leader was the one who brought them out this time, truly useless. Tyr couldn’t help but feel a headache, what exactly was missing…
At this moment, the white-haired girl beside them suddenly spoke.
“The origin of the bounty heads…”
Tyr was momentarily stunned, then immediately reacted! Yes, he hadn’t asked about the origin of the bounty target yet!
He didn’t rush to thank the reminder from the white-haired girl, Tyr quickly asked.
“What’s the name of the bounty target, and what background do you know?”
Zack furrowed his brow slightly, as if pondering something, then said.
“It seems to be called ‘Pandora.’ Because the designated plans are discussed by the vice leader and several other core members, I’m not very clear. I only know that it has a human-like shape, but its head is like a fly, covered in green slime, and toxic. After its second transformation, it becomes smaller, grows a pair of wings on its back, its body covered with mouths similar to those of humans, constantly emitting wails, its personality becomes more pronounced, extremely bloodthirsty, and possesses intelligence not inferior to humans.”
“Pandora.”
Tyr silently repeated the name and glanced at the labyrinthine caves behind Zack, as well as the peculiar rock formations along the way. He then remembered the Fairy Flowers they had gathered on the journey, as well as the Dihu Mountain they had crossed earlier…
It’s as if there’s some thread connecting everything together.
A route that leads directly to Zack’s cave!!
But Tyr can’t figure it out!
His current computing power isn’t enough!
“Ah~” Another heart-wrenching scream came from within the shadowstone, causing Zack to tremble, as another member of the group was eaten by “Pandora” in another location.
Moreover, the screams continued unabated, obviously “Pandora” didn’t kill its prey immediately, but slowly tortured them. This reminded Tyr of the scene when the Emerald Star died in an instant.
“Damn it!”Tyr shook his head and waved away that unfortunate memory,even though he didn’t care at all,but why did he suddenly remember that at this moment!
He swore not to let Mr. Zack die like this!
Tyr, with determination in his eyes, looked sharply at Dragon Slayer.
“I’ll rely on you in a moment.”
“Wait, what are you planning to do?” Dragon Slayer noticed Tyr’s determined expression and couldn’t help but question, but Tyr closed his eyes.
On the other side, Yuehai had already arrived at a private room, locked the door, and immediately lay down on the bed.
Mr. Zack, I’ll repay my debt to you now!
Mind, open!
