From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 827 - 486_2
The four of them looked at the battle traces here, all showing puzzled expressions.
"Could it be that other Summoners attacked Sulfur Manor before us?"
Sulfur Manor’s geographical location is relatively special, isolated outside the Earth Flame Pillar, slightly remote.
If Summoners suddenly strike here, they usually won’t alert the Bloodline Guard in the Earth Flame Pillar.
In the Challenge Task of the Abyss Battlefield, one of the tasks is to kill ten High-rank Bloodlines, and this Viscount Fischer meets the task criteria.
In other words, it is possible that another Summoner team struck here and completed the Challenge Task.
But there’s something strange, the battle noise wasn’t big, only a few places in the manor’s hall showed traces of battle, it seemed more like a successful ambush.
Lu Heng pondered and asked: "Is there a powerful assassin among the Summoners?"
Su Muyu immediately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, the Fusang’s Ghost Warrior Mercenary Group, there’s a deputy named Ninja King."
Lu Heng took a look at the High-rank Bloodline list and said: "Since this target is missing, let’s find the next one."
The team of four left Sulfur Manor and continued to look for the next target.
Five hours later.
The four arrived in front of a deep cavern, where the High-rank Bloodline Baron Egbert resides.
As before, Su Muyu first sent out the Qingluan Divine Bird to scout the deep cavern.
Then, an unexpected event happened again.
"Something seems off, just like the previous location, there’s no Bloodline Demon found, but there are battle traces in the cavern, along with a strong smell of blood."
Lu Heng immediately rushed in, releasing a ball of thunderfire, illuminating the cavern’s environment, indeed seeing battle traces once more.
If it was a coincidence that the target at Sulfur Manor was preemptively attacked, the second target being attacked too is clearly not just a coincidence.
The four all felt something was amiss.
Xie Shi’en squatted down, staring at the damaged traces on the ground: "The traces here are very similar to those at Sulfur Manor, they look like claw marks. Once could be a coincidence, but not twice, someone must have beaten us to it."
Lu Heng immediately turned and left the deep cavern, saying: "Speed up, next target."
Three hours later.
The team of four found the residence of the third target, and saw the same results, the third target was also attacked, and like the previous two, only a few traces of battle and the smell of blood were left.
In the following two days, Lu Heng and the four continued to search for Bloodline Demons one by one according to the list.
They located the habitats of seven High-rank Bloodlines in succession, and without exception, all were preemptively attacked by someone else.
Looking at the battle traces left after the seventh High-rank Bloodline was attacked, Lu Heng fell into contemplation.
In the past two days, the four of them searched tirelessly according to the list, but couldn’t find a single Bloodline Demon—all were preemptively attacked.
Things are increasingly feeling off.
Su Muyu speculated: "Could someone else be looking for the Reincarnation Source Material just like us?"
This possibility exists.
The news of the Reincarnation Source Material is no secret among the major forces on Blue Star.
Even Ren Lidong of the Northern Wolf Mercenary Corps knows about the Reincarnation Source Material, so the Delegate of the White Eagle Federation’s first Superpower Organization surely knows too.
This means George Gardner, the captain of the White Eagle Delegate, must also be looking for the Reincarnation Source Material.
But there’s a problem.
Lu Heng took out that list: "If another human team attacked these targets before us, how did they get our list?"
That’s the key question.
Lu Heng got this list because of Tiness, the spy servant.
Could it be that there are other spy servants planted in the Bloodline Clan?
But for the other side to have such a comprehensive list means that the other spy servant’s status has to be at least comparable to Tiness.
Can a Bloodline Demon of such a level be so easily controlled by humans?
There’s a mystery hidden within every aspect of this saga.
Xie Shi’en took the list, pondering while looking:
"Although these targets were preemptively attacked, there’s one good thing. These seven targets didn’t possess the Reincarnation Source Material, or rather, the first six didn’t.
"In other words, the team that beat us to it most likely hasn’t found the Reincarnation Source Material either."
This information can indeed be verified. It’s simple logic: if the team that preemptively attacked already found the Reincarnation Source Material, they wouldn’t continue targeting subsequent ones.
Su Muyu puffed her cheeks, frustrated: "What do we do now? Do we continue to look for the next target? What if we’re preempted again?"
Lu Heng squinted slightly, after a moment of thought, he said: "Let’s change targets and go directly after the last one."
There are ten High-rank Bloodlines on the list, originally ordered by distance.
Yet each time being preempted, to beat the rival team, they must skip the next two and find the last one first.
After a brief discussion, all three teammates agreed to this plan.
So the team immediately set out to find the last target, the Bloodline Wizard Klidor.
