Aoki searched for the Shadow Group's special markings in the forest.
Although he had not done the Shadow Group's mission, Aoki had learned some basic things.
After searching carefully, Aoki found the Shadow Group's markings at the bottom of a big tree.
He changed his attire and put on his signature black cloak.
Then, he put away King Dai and the others, leaving only Crow's Head by his side and Phantom Stone hiding in the shadow.
Aoki walked in the direction of the markings with Crow's Head.
Perhaps it was for concealment, Aoki found that many of the markings were unnecessary. They could have just walked in a straight line, but this person had placed the markings all over the place.
Was it to prevent being discovered?
Or was it purely a habit of the Shadow Group?
Or was he trying to play with him?
Takeshi Aoki had reservations about these three possibilities.
Although he did not think that the Shadow Group would send someone to make things difficult for him, Aoki gradually became vigilant.
Slowly, following the markings, Aoki arrived in front of a cave.
According to the markings, the person who was going to meet with Aoki should be in the cave.
However, when he reached the entrance of the cave, Aoki did not walk in directly.
Instead, he frowned.
If it was under normal circumstances, he might not have noticed it, but now, Aoki had upgraded his superpower to the level of a beginner superpower user.
He was able to release his superpower to a certain extent, and he was able to perceive many details.
Aoki found that there was a very thin thread left at the entrance of the cave. If he did not observe carefully with his superpower, he would not be able to see it with the naked eye.
Even with Aoki's experience, if he did not observe it carefully, he would not be able to see it.
However, the existence of this thread meant many things.
The biggest possibility was that the person who was going to meet with him was inside. However, for safety reasons, this thread was left at the entrance of the cave. As long as someone entered, he would be able to detect it and react.
However, there was another possibility. This thread was a switch for a mechanism. As long as this thread was touched, it would trigger a series of events.
After looking around, Greenwood didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
However, the more it was like this, the stronger his sixth sense became.
According to Aoki's experience, a cave was a good place to live, but it had a lot of restrictions. Normally, a cave only had one entrance. If someone blocked the entrance of the cave, the people inside would be in a passive position.
With a skeptical attitude, Greenwood didn't enter.
Instead, he used his superpower to gently tug at the thread.
Then, he waited silently for three seconds, but nothing happened.
Just when Aoki thought that he was being paranoid, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the cave, and it came from outside to inside.
The intention was clear. It was to block the entrance to prevent the person who entered from escaping. Then, the explosion from inside would directly trap the person inside.
Even for elves who could teleport, this kind of violent explosion would make it difficult for them to locate the spatial coordinates, and they would not be able to escape immediately.
Two seconds later, the cave completely collapsed.
Aoki's face was very gloomy.
If he had walked in and accidentally touched the thread, the consequences would have been very obvious. He would have been hit by the explosion.
Although he wouldn't die due to his low level superpower, coupled with the existence of Boss Crow and Phantom Stone, injuries were unavoidable.
The person who created this trap had a very clear goal. It was to target him!
However, Aoki could not understand. Shadow sent someone who was targeting him to contact him? What was the meaning of this?
After waiting silently for three minutes, a black shadow appeared on the ground.
Aoki raised his head and looked at the sky. A person wearing a black robe similar to his was sitting on a huge dragonfly, heading towards the cave.
Aoki's dark eyes suddenly emitted a light called killing intent.
It did not matter what this person's goal was, why he did it, or who ordered him to do it.
Aoki only knew that if he was an ordinary person, that hidden trap would have been enough to kill him several times over.
Since someone wanted to kill him, he did not need to care about the other party's identity.
After all, Aoki was now half a person appointed by Sakaki. Without the status of a cadre or above, there was no one who had the authority to touch Aoki.
Moreover, Aoki's position had reached that of a captain. He was no longer the small soldier of the Rocket Team who could be trampled on by others.
Without hiding, Aoki stood in the same place and raised his head to look at the person sitting on the dragonfly, slowly descending from the sky.
The A.I. Chip directly scanned the dragonfly's data.

Looking at the data of the ancient dragonfly, Aoki squinted his eyes.
This ancient dragonfly's aptitude and level were outstanding, almost reaching the elite level.
This person in front of him was almost at the threshold of becoming a captain of the Rocket Team. He just did not know if this ancient dragonfly was his strongest elf, or if he had an even stronger elf.
He watched as the black-robed man slowly walked down from the back of the ancient dragonfly. On his chest was a badge of the Shadow Group. As for the Rocket Team's badge, he did not wear it.
The Rocket Team was still rejected by the Fengyuan Region. If it was possible, it was best not to wear it. Presumably, this person in front of him also thought so.
He slowly took off the hood on his head.
Aoki looked at the appearance of the hooded man.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with black hair and black eyes. Only a huge scar that went from the left side of his face to the right side of his nose made him look somewhat ferocious.
With a mocking expression, the middle-aged man looked at Aoki and laughed. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the markings of the Shadow Group even though you haven't done any missions for them. You were able to find this place. I thought you would need to spend a day or two to find it."
"Shadow sent you?" Aoki ignored his mockery and said lightly.
However, Crow's Head, who was next to Aoki, slightly tensed up. As someone who knew Aoki the best, he could feel the anger in Aoki's heart.
