"My people have already inquired with the nearby Adventurer Squads yesterday and took a look around."
"According to reports, about two days ago, Magiller was seen entering the Wild Boar Peopleâs nest, and hasnât come out since."
Westonâs results align closely with those of her subordinates.
"If thatâs the case, then itâs naturally a good thing."
"Oh? Are they here?"
Tessa looked up at the sky and flashed a smile on her beautiful face.
....
Ten minutes later.
Raine, Benest, and their group exchanged information with Tessa, Weston, and their team.
"Does this mean we can act now then?"
"Yes, but the Wild Boar People have strengthened their defenses. Mr. Rein, Benest, do you need more power over there?"
Tessa glanced at the three women behind Raine, her brows furrowed slightly.
Compared to their squad, which had an average Classes Level above Level 5, Raineâs team seemed somewhat weaker.
"Why not gather more Adventurer Squads and launch a joint attack?"
Laisa glanced not far away, where two Adventurer Squads could be vaguely seen.
"Weâve tried that before, it doesnât work well."
"Once inside the caves, itâs the Wild Boar Peopleâs home ground, not to mention there are undead creatures, resulting in many casualties."
"Moreover, a joint action involving multiple Adventurer Squads would alert the Necromancer Magiller, and possibly the Mind Flayer, which is unfavorable for our subsequent operations."
In response to Laisaâs question, Weston immediately answered.
"Does that mean we need to infiltrate quickly without attracting attention from the Wild Boar People or other Mind Flayer minions?"
"Yes, thatâs the real challenge."
"Not a big deal." Raine nodded confidently.
Ever since acquiring the Shapeshifter Bloodline, Raine felt very assured about infiltrating monster nests.
The trip to Dark Furnace City was a great test of that ability.
Yet, he didnât want to expose this hard-to-hide ability to more people.
"Fine!" Weston exchanged a glance with Olist beside him and didnât press the matter further.
"Letâs move individually then. Colonel Tessa and Mr. Benest are responsible for communication."
"Mr. Rein, Benest, be cautious. My people reported that there are some mutated individuals among the Wild Boar People, who are quite tricky."
Just as Colonel Tessa was about to turn away, she hesitated and turned back to remind them.
"Mutated individuals?" Benest furrowed his brows slightly.
Tessa nodded, but when her gaze swept over Raine beside Benest, she was slightly taken aback.
Because the young Mr. Rein had an odd expressionââas if trying hard to suppress something, his brows furrowed slightly, but the edges of his eyes quivered, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.â
Tessa felt his expression was not one of worry, nor fear, but rather like...
Mixed with a tinge of excited surprise!
Yet this expression quickly faded.
"Thank you, Colonel Tessa, we will be careful." Raine smiled gratefully.
Mutated individuals, huh?
Ever since he stopped killing goblins, he rarely encountered mutated individuals.
The Deadwater Wild Boar People indeed have substantial numbers, itâs expected that some mutated individuals would appear.
As Tessa and Westonâs team departed, Raine furrowed his brows, glanced to a direction on the right, and subtly shook his head.
He had the odd sensation of being watched, hmmm... felt unlike an Adventurer.
Yet, it wasnât because his Monster Skill failed.
It was more due to the pervasive smell of Wild Boar People dung disturbing his Monster Skillâs Sensitive Smell Lv2.
Coupled with the considerable number of people around, his auditory and tactile perception was also greatly affected.
"Mr. Rein?" Benest looked at Raine, puzzled.
"Itâs nothing, letâs go."
