The Big-Mouth Bat was indeed one of the best biological radars at night. After carefully sifting through the feedback from the ultrasonic waves, he finally found a clue.
Following the Big-Mouth Bat, Kaede Sato and the rest gradually ventured deeper into the Wild Fruit Forest. As they ventured deeper, the number of green eyes around them increased. Some ferocious hyenas and wolfhounds would jump out of the bushes from time to time to test the waters.
Kaede Sato knew that this was not the time to be merciful. Faced with the hyenas and wolfhounds that jumped out to test the waters, he had the Swamp Monster deal with them with lightning speed. Through such a powerful deterrent, the hyenas and wolfhounds that were about to make a move were once again fearful.
In the end, Kaede Sato, under the Big-Mouth Bat's lead, found the clue he found in the Wild Fruit Forest. It was a few badly mutilated corpses. Judging from the appalling clothes on the corpses, they were members of the Baihe Village's escort team.
The corpses had been stiff for a long time. It seemed that they had lost their precious lives a long time ago. However, the Big-Mouth Bat did not give any clues as to where the other escort team members were.
Other than the corpses, Kaede Sato and the rest also found many traces of battle nearby. Judging from the range of the battle traces, the escort team had engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy here.
However, judging from the corpses of the escort team members and the fact that they had not returned for a long time, the escort team had been defeated and most of the members had been captured by the enemy.
Looking at the tragedy before them, Kaede Sato and Hansk were the only ones who remained calm. Luke and Maya, on the other hand, were completely pale. Maya even could not help but vomit at the side.
Kaede Sato was not in the mood to care about the situation of the female escort team member. Instead, he was carefully looking for other clues at the scene of the crime. The enemies of the escort team were very careful. They did not leave any obvious clues at the scene.
Finally, on the branch of a big tree, Kaede Sato found a piece of red cloth and a black horn-shaped object behind a big rock. It was covered by some leaves. Fortunately, the big-mouthed bat reminded him, otherwise, Kaede Sato would have missed it.
"This thing is … Hmm, it shouldn't be wrong. This is one of the two ornaments on the Lava Squad's cap. I remember that it's a lighter."
Kaede Sato held the black horn-shaped object in his hand. After carefully examining it, he successfully found a button on the black horn-shaped object. He pressed it with a little force, and a red flame suddenly appeared on the black horn-shaped object.
"As expected, it's from the Lava Squad. Combined with the small piece of red cloth on the tree branch, we can confirm that the guards were attacked by the Lava Squad."
After confirming his guess, Kaede Sato's face could not help but turn gloomy. The Lava Squad was one of the two major underground forces in the Fengyuan Region. Although their overall strength was far inferior to the Rocket Squad, their strength was still not to be underestimated.
Since the Lava Squad was involved, this was no longer a matter that a mere elite trainer like him could interfere in.
This time, the escort team of Baihe Village was really unlucky. Although he did not know what happened, it was obvious that the escort team had offended the Lava Squad. Otherwise, they would not have ended up like this.
"Captain, the thing in your hand belongs to the Lava Squad, right? Then, did that mean that the escort team was attacked by the Lava Squad?"
Luke was a local of Fengyuan. He obviously recognized the strange lighter in Kaede Sato's hand. His face suddenly changed, and he asked Kaede Sato with a pale face.
When they heard that the rescue operation involved the Lava Squad, both Hansk and Meiya's faces changed drastically. They then looked at Kaede Sato with a questioning gaze.
"That's right. The Baihe Village escort team was most likely attacked by the Lava Squad. Let's go. This matter is beyond our capabilities." Kaede Sato did not hide anything and answered directly.
When they heard that Kaede Sato did not choose to continue investigating, Hansk, Meiya, and Luke heaved a sigh of relief. After a short period of contact, they already knew that their captain was a kind person. They were really afraid that Kaede Sato would not understand the situation and continue investigating.
Although history was changing, there would always be criminal organizations in the Fengyuan Region that tried to control the Supreme Mythical Beast to dominate the world. The Lava Squad was a new criminal organization founded by the remnants of the previous criminal organization that was eliminated by the Fengyuan Alliance. Their purpose was to awaken the Supreme Mythical Beast, Groudon, and then dominate the world.
Like the Water Fleet, another large-scale criminal organization in Fengyuan, the Lava Squad had been very active in the Fengyuan Region in recent years. They had committed many crimes that gave the Fengyuan Alliance a headache, and they had been getting away with it.
All in all, compared to the Lava Squad, Kaede Sato's group was really weak. Going against them was no different from hitting a rock with an egg.
Now, after investigating the escort team's situation, Kaede Sato's group also chose to return immediately. It was not that they did not want to continue investigating, but they were really powerless. If they continued investigating, they would have to be prepared to be hunted down by the Lava Squad.
(This is not a game. The Lava Squad will not fight one-on-one with you as if they are suicidal. They will use all kinds of tricks to eliminate a danger like you.)
However, when Kaede Sato's group took some relics from the bodies of the deceased that could prove their identity and were about to return, a loud wolf howl caused their faces to change drastically. In an instant, the Aardwolves that were hiding in the dark walked out from the shadows.
When they stopped to look for clues, these cunning Evil Elves had actually secretly circled around them. Now, they had completely surrounded them. At a glance, the number of wolves surrounding them had reached at least a few white-headed ones. Among them, there were also quite a few large wolfhounds.
"Follow the direction of the Big Mouth Bat and break out of the encirclement. Hansk, you will charge with me. Maya, protect your Electric Firefly. Luke, follow the plan that we set up earlier. It's up to you to break out later."
Seeing the Aardwolf Hounds and Mega Wolfhounds close the encirclement bit by bit under the command of the Alpha Wolf, Maekaze Sato knew that he had to break out of the encirclement immediately. After giving the order to his teammates, he immediately led the Giant Swamp Monster forward.
Under Kaede Sato's command, Katie, Meihua, and the Big Mouth Bat first used powerful long-range attacks against the enemies in front of them. They spat out flames, a large number of energy balls, and a large number of air blades that turned into white air blades and launched a fierce attack on a corner of the Aardwolves' encirclement.
In an instant, a corner of the Aardwolves' encirclement was torn open. At the same time, the Swamp Monster, Mystique, and Quickfist immediately charged forward under the command of Kaede Sato and Hansk.
Needless to say, the Swamp Monster was able to send the Aardwolves flying with his Ice Fists wherever he went. This time, Kaede Sato didn't let him hold back. All the Aardwolves and Aardwolves that were struck by his fists had their bones broken. The ferocious aura emanating from him caused many of the Aardwolves and Aardwolves to cower in fear.
As for the two Prize-type Elves, Mystique and Quickfist, they also took a lot of the Swamp Monster's burden. With their large number of Prize-type skills that countered evil, they easily defeated many of the Aardwolves and Aardwolves.
"Awooo ~ ~ ~" The Wolf King that was hiding in the dark saw that its prey was about to escape and immediately commanded the wolves to attack. In an instant, a large number of Shadow Balls were released from the Aardwolves and Aardwolves' mouths.
Fortunately, Luke who had been inconspicuous all this time finally showed his strength. He actually released three Kentelos from his hands. Relying on the three Kentelos to form a meat wall, the large number of Shadow Balls released by the Aardwolves were all blocked by them.
Following that, the three Kentelos were also mounted by Kaede Sato and the others under Luke's command. They then carried Kaede Sato and the others towards the path that the Swamp Monster had opened up.
In the end, after successfully breaking through the encirclement, Kaede Sato and the others promptly used Pokeballs to recall the Swamp Monster and the others back into the Pokeballs. This was one of the benefits of Pokeballs. The trainer could recall the Elves back into the Pokeballs within a certain distance.
At the same time, Kaede Sato and the others also took out a precious Advanced Insect Repellent Spray and sprayed it behind them. These things were given to them by the White River Village's Village Chief for use during critical moments. Now was the time to use them.
The Large-Mouth Bat and the two Lightning-Fireflies were leading the way for the three Kentelos. These creatures that were used to running were very fast and very resilient. They were actually able to pull away from the Aardwolves and Aardwolves that were chasing them from behind.
