Chapter 443 Closing In

Mineur Valley

Bright sunlight couldn't pierce the dense canopy, causing confusing darkness to s the forest A thin mist covered the entire forest in a deathly silence One couldn't even hear the cries of insects or the calls of birds

A black shape suddenly e this silence The shadow quickly forushing sound, revealing a mysterious adept with a handsoe adept looked around hihtly when he discovered no abnorust of air into the earth, where it activated a particular array

A thick Snake-Necked Flower silently eed from the earth Its layers of closed petals slowly opened up, and aleather arolden circlet on his head, metal claws on his hands, and had a boorish look to him

"God, is there still no news?" The muscular man's temper rose when he saw his companion's silent expression, "It has been four days! That bastard should have come to take a look, even if he's a co? Why else would he be so patient?"

"You will have to ask Lamure about this!" The blue-robed adept complained while an upset expression showed on his face, "She ambushed him of her own accord Not only did she fail, it is very likely that she also alerted the enemy to our existence"

"Could that bitch Lah the rude et your ass out here I know you are here Come out now"

The entire forest trembled and shook when the man roared The blue-robed adept couldn't help but frohen this happened He waved the short staff in his hand, and a colorful semi-translucent water barrier immediately sealed the place

This position was far too close to the eneularity here, it would be much harder to execute their plans

Screech, screech, screech

A wave of strange ape calls rang out fro fros on their backs They eventually stopped on a tree in front of the two adepts and stared at theive out the infor? Why else would that brat be so s on staying inside that tiny city"

A trace of intelligence flashed in the dull and lifeless eyes of one of the gibbons The animal suddenly beca barbarian I couldn't be bothered to talk to you I was also assigned to this et out of this if it fails?" The gibbon began to speak, and, surprisingly, the voice of a woman came out of its mouth

"Hmph! Who can know for sure? Everyone knows that you and Flandre have an ongoing rivalry Who knohat plot youup behind our backs?" Sicha crossed his arms; his distrust painted clearly across his face for all to see

“Alright, alright," Flandre, who had silently been listening to the exchange with a cold expression, interrupted the two, "It doesn't ht wind of us and our plans We need to lure hi is the best place to set up an a interfered with either This place is still going to be where the fight takes place"

"Hood indeed It's well suited for an ahly likely that the brat knows it as well It's been a few days since things started happening at theto coiven up on Iron Ring Mine" Sichaadept with reent and wise as Flandre

"There's one of his disciple apprentices in the ht be able to force that bastard to show hiested

"Lure them out and imprison the as he considered the situation

Even though he knew Laestions probably had some unspoken sche with it at the moment

"We ait for a day If that fellow still hasn't returned, then ill tear that Second Class resource site of his apart I don't believe he can re in his stone tower under such conditions Sicha, you will have to do some extra work Find a suitable spot for an ambush near the resource site, lay out arrays there, and wait for o to take a look at Gilneas City" Flandre gritted his teeth, "If that brat truly intends to hole up in there, we ht have to assault his tower Fortunately, that tower only has a crude defensive array Our ht have been a difficult one if it were a war tower!"

Flandre clearly intended to scout the enemy's base

Sicha didn't ask for any ardless of whether she was the one who spilled the secret of their arrival or not, it was best to keep their whereabouts to theed a feords before parting fro in different directions

This forest near the mines quickly fell back into its deathly silence
