After Sato Kaede and the others successfully escaped from the Wild Fruit Forest, the pack of Earth Wolfhounds that had been chasing them relentlessly gave up on their pursuit after a loud howl from the Wolf King. Then, they returned resentfully with some unwillingness.
"Phew, we're finally out. I thought we were going to die. I'll never enter the forest at night again. It's too dangerous." Mei Ya, who had been panicking, let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw the coyotes finally retreating. She patted her towering chest and said with lingering fear.
When Hansk and Luke heard this, they turned around and saw that the wolves had really retreated. Their tense nerves finally relaxed, and they also let out a deep sigh of relief. Then, they nodded at Mei Ya with appreciation.
"Don't let your guard down. We're not out of the forest yet. The danger is not over yet. Don't let us fail miserably. Keep your guard up. Luke, put away your Kentaro. The mountain path is going to be tough," Kaede Sato said with a straight face when he saw his teammates' relaxed expressions.
The rescue operation this time involved the Lava team. Kaede Sato couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't return. If they were unlucky enough to bump into the Lava team, their rescue team would be in danger.
Sato Kaede's prestige in the team was like the sun in the sky. Now that he said that, the other three immediately put on a serious expression, and once again raised their guard against the surrounding environment.
Kaede Sato and the others resumed their journey after Luke put the three panting Kentilos away. Fortunately, they had the Big-mouthed Bat's biological radar to guide them, so they did not wander around aimlessly in the forest like headless flies. They were not far from exiting the forest and entering the main road again.
For the rest of the journey, apart from the sporadic attacks from the wild fairies that were disturbed by them, the journey was rather peaceful. Finally, the four of them walked out of the coyote forest steadily.
At this moment, Mei Ya and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. This time, even Kaede Sato couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After exiting the forest and entering the main road, the risk factor of their journey at night had plummeted.
However, before Kaede Sato and the others took a few steps towards White River Village, the Big-mouthed Bat beside Kaede Sato waved its wings at his hand. In a split second, Kaede Sato was instantly alerted. He quietly retrieved the Pokeball with the Swamp Monster from his elven belt.
At the same time, Kati and Melaleuca, who were also aware of the Big-mouthed Bat's actions, approached Kaede Sato quietly and formed a triangle with Kaede Sato to protect him.
Among Hansk, Mei Ya, and Luke, Hansk was the one with the best combat experience and mental fortitude. Although he usually looked careless, he was actually a meticulous person.
Ever since he joined the rescue team, Hansk had been secretly sizing up Kaede Sato. He admired Kaede Sato's meticulous and meticulous style of doing things. He also knew that he wasn't as capable as Kaede Sato, so he always listened to Kaede Sato and paid attention to his every move.
Just now, Hansk noticed the Big-mouthed Bat waving its wings at Kaede Sato, as well as the actions of Kati and Melaleuca. In an instant, the relaxed expression on his face disappeared. At the same time, he quietly took out the Pokeball containing the Bamboo Hat Mushroom.
The atmosphere in the team changed because of Kaede Sato and Hansk's cautiousness. Although Luke and Mei Ya were a little slow, they still had sharp eyes. The two of them quickly noticed the abnormality of the two strongest members of the team, and they immediately became vigilant.
On the other side, in the woods not far from where Kaede Sato and the others were, six people in red were hiding. Each of them was wearing a pair of high-tech night-vision goggles, and they were now staring at Kaede Sato and the others like a tiger watching its prey.
"Boss, those four people seem to have discovered us. They've suddenly become more vigilant."
A relatively short person in red whispered to a burly person in red next to him. He looked a little worried.
"Yeah, Boss, these four people have the ability to walk out of the coyote forest at night. They're not weak. Are we really going to fight them?" the female person in red next to him said.
When the burly person in red heard this, he thought for a moment. He took out a voice transmission device and used it to communicate with someone.
"Yes, Master Bonfire. I promise to complete the mission." After a few seconds, the burly person in red immediately replied to the voice transmission device in his hand in a low voice with a serious expression.
When the other people in red heard the words that the burly person in red said to the voice transmission device, they immediately fell silent. They then took out their pokeballs and stared coldly at Kaede Sato and the others who were gradually approaching them.
Yes, these six people in red were members of the Lava team. They were the subordinates of Bonfire, one of the three cadres of the Lava team. At this time, they were following Bonfire's order to intercept the escort team sent by White River Village.
Previously, when Kaede Sato and the others caused a huge commotion in the coyote forest, they naturally noticed it. They initially thought that Kaede Sato and the others had died. They didn't expect that Kaede Sato and the others could actually come out alive and seemed to be unharmed.
Although the Lava team was strong, they weren't strong enough to make enemies everywhere. In the face of powerful trainers, they were similar to the ruffians in the city. They would choose to stay away from them. Therefore, when they saw Kaede Sato and the others successfully coming out of the coyote forest at night, they couldn't help but want to avoid them.
However, now that the orders from above had been passed down, they could only bite the bullet and fight.
"Don't worry, Master Bonfire knows that the enemy we're facing is very strong, so he sent reinforcements over. As long as we can hold them off for a while, our reinforcements will come back. Master Bonfire also said that as long as the mission is completed successfully, our mission reward will be doubled."
Upon seeing the worried looks on his team members, the burly man in red, the leader of the Lava team, immediately said these words to boost their morale.
As expected, with the encouragement of strong reinforcements and benefits, the Lava team members were instantly energized. When they looked at Kaede Sato's group again, their gazes had changed from wolves to lambs.
"A total of six people, huh? I hope they aren't too strong." With the help of BigMouth Bat's wing tapping on his arm, Kaede Sato had a clear idea of the number of enemies he might face next. As the distance between him and the enemies got closer, the cold glint in Kaede Sato's eyes grew colder.
At this moment, the six members of the Lava team gradually saw the arrival of Kaede Sato's group. Just as they were about to wait for their leader's order to launch a sneak attack, something happened that scared the wits out of them.
"BigMouth Bat, Air Blade, Melaleuca, Energy Ball, Katy Dog, Flamethrower." After receiving the notification that BigMouth Bat's wing was pointing at the enemies, Kaede Sato chose to strike first. He didn't care whether the other party was an enemy or not. He immediately commanded the three Lesser Spirits around him to launch a sudden attack.
Under the horrified gazes of the six members of the Lava team, a huge white air blade, an Energy Ball, and a high-temperature flame pillar attacked them.
However, the members of the Lava Tribe were experienced trainers. Even though they were caught off guard, they didn't lose their composure. They immediately released their Fairies and yelled, "Hold on!" at the same time.
In the next second, the attacks that the three Lesser Spirits released with all their might collided with something. Then, a huge explosion occurred and the trees on both sides of Kaede Sato's group were instantly destroyed.
Under the illumination of the two electric fireflies, the wretched figures of the Lava Team appeared in the eyes of Status and the others.
In the end, Sato Kaede ordered the three Wisps to launch a sneak attack, which was successfully blocked by the Wisps they sent out. However, in this way, not only did they lose a life-saving card, but they also exposed their position and identity.
Hansk and the other two were shocked by Kaede Sato's sudden attack. However, after realizing that there were other people hiding on both sides of the road, especially the detestable members of the Lava team, their faces changed drastically. Without hesitation, they released their strongest Lesser Spirits.
Without hesitation, the three of them commanded the Lesser Spirits to attack the flustered members of the Lava team.
Without a doubt, Hansk and the other two knew that a group of Lava team members was hiding on both sides of the road. Coupled with the tragedy that they discovered in the wild orchard, they didn't think that they would get lucky.
They knew that they had discovered the Lava team's secret. Now that they encountered the Lava team, they could only fight or die.
