Chapter 358 Four Strong Team's Decision

When the aftermath was settled, I witnessed the deep pit in front of me. And the body of the bandit is nowhere to be seen. Then I quickly walked up to the deep pit to check.

This time I placed numerous explosive artifacts without thinking. After reaching the deep pit, I saw the burnt body of the bandit.

He is completely disfigured. There is no sign of vitality coming from his body.

Seeing that, a small smile rose on my lips, I paid a small price to reap his life.

It is satisfactory. I knew from the beginning that it was impossible to get a win from a straight fight. At my current level, without employing some means, it's impossible to counter peak trainee bandits.

Then I removed his head and put it inside my storage ring. I also placed all the loot inside my storage ring. I will look into it after finding some quiet place.

After taking a look at the surroundings once again, I made my way towards the outer area.

I didn't follow the route used by bandits. I'm again making my way by clearing out all the vegetation again.

If I follow the old route, it's quite possible to encounter both city warriors and bandits.

The last thing I want to do is to put myself into such a desperate situation.

After clearing my mind, I continued to move forward slowly and steadily.

Time flies in the blink of an eye.

While I was resting on the branch of the tree. A few red dots appeared in my mind. I wasn't surprised anymore. Because it's normal to encounter people as I'm getting closer to the outer area.

Instead of getting out to see, I decided to wait and watch the fun. The team of five is coming in my direction. Watching this, a small smile rose on my lips. They made my life easy by creating this narrow path.

If I follow the route, I will soon reach the outer area. Next, I observed their strength. The warrior coming at the front has the strength of an initial trainee warrior, and the rest of the members were special trainee warriors.

Soon this team came closer towards the path which I had cleared out to come here.

Seeing that, the leader quickly becomes vigilant. He ordered the rest of the members to check out the surroundings.

Seeing that, I chuckled. Normally, I wouldn't greet city warriors in this insect forest. But these fellows literally saved a lot of time for me. It doesn't hurt me to warn them about what's coming next.

Maybe it will save their lives.

After making up my mind, I jumped from the branch and landed on the ground. My appearance startled him. He quickly asked, "Who are you?"

I replied in a solemn tone, "I'm just a city warrior like you."

The leader was taken back. Seeing that, I added further, "I advise your team to proceed with caution; your team's strength is not enough to survive the harsh conditions of the inner area."

The leader looked at me from top to bottom. I don't know what he is thinking. But I'm confident that he didn't buy my words. In particular, he had a knowing smile on his face.

At this time, the rest of his team members also came back. Everyone looked at me with a strange gaze. Suddenly, the leader uttered something which completely stupefied me.

"Hey, bandit. I heard you guys trick others by using cheap tactics like this. Do you think I will fall for your words?" The leader said, with a smile.

When he uttered those words, the rest of the members drew their weapons to fight.

I mumbled under my breath, "Fools."

But at the same time, I understand his reasoning. I came from an inner-area without any team members. So, it's normal for him to misunderstand me as a bandit.

SIGH

If I continue to say something, it will only make things worse. After gaining some clarity, I commented, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm off now."

After saying that, I walked towards the path that they had come from.

The leader was taken back. He had expected something else. But the bandit went past them without alerting anyone. For a moment, he hesitated to make a move.

At this time, one of the team members opened his mouth to say, "It's impossible for someone to venture into the inner area alone except bandits. So don't fall for his words."

Hearing that, the leader suddenly realized something. He completely believed his team member's words.

Seeing the disappearing back of the bandit, he quickly shouted, "Wait."

The leader was alarmed. He wants to take care of the bandit before he tips off others.

On the other hand, when I heard the bandit's shout, I immediately used the lightning phantom technique to disappear from the spot.

When the leader came with his team, he found no one on the spot. "Damn, he is gone," the leader grumbled. Then he quickly decided to leave before the bandit arrived with others.

At the same time, I observed the whole situation from a little distance. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I went out to help them, but these guys mistook me for a bandit.

Then I decided not to make the same mistake anymore. After gaining some clarity, I followed their path. These guys made a clear route to come here. Seeing that, a hint of appreciation rose in my heart.

I also noticed none of them had any serious injuries. All of them seemed fine. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I uttered, "Lucky ba***rds!"

I recalled what I had gone through to reach this place. It looks like they had not even come across any insect bugs. I can't imagine their reaction when they encounter carnivore bugs.

I can't count how many city warriors and bandits have become food for these bugs. One good thing coming out of the inner area is escaping from these carnivore bugs.

Now I only need to worry about those bandits. I continued to move towards the destination while keeping an eye on my surroundings.

Time flies in a blink of an eye,

My journey is going a little smoother than expected. But even after walking along this path, I didn't come across any other team.

I want to see which part of the outer area this path leads to. Even in the outer areas, there are some dangerous places similar to the inner areas.

Before coming here, I simply avoided those places. Then, dispelling these thoughts, I continued to walk along this path.

Alternatively,

The four strong teams quickly got separated after entering the outer area.

Each of them had the own path to follow.

Like an experienced team, the four teams quickly avoided all the dangerous areas. Each team had their own customized map of these insect forests.

Time flies in a blink of an eye,

After experiencing their own fair share of battles, the four teams reached the border area. So far, none of the team has encountered Peak Trainee bandits.

The first one to enter the inner area is the igneous earth team. Morgan Buck and his team members were lucky enough to escape from grievous injuries.

His team members were completely fine compared to the other three teams. Before coming here, he had a tacit understanding with the other three leaders.

Everyone wants to make money separately, especially Morgan. He didn't let go of any opportunity to find the whereabouts of bandits.

From the information he had gathered so far, The Peak Trainee bandits were coming out of their hideout. It will be a matter of time before his team encounters those Peak Trainee level bandits.

Morgan's expression couldn't help but condense with this piece of information. He is not arrogant enough to fight against the Peak Trainee bandits.

He made up his mind to flee whenever they came across such strong bandits. Furthermore, he came here to make money, not to lose his life.

Soon, the igneous earth team came across their first wave of bandit warriors in the inner area.

This simple bandit team, made of three Initial Trainees and two Special Trainee bandits, got completely crushed by the igneous earth team. The fight didn't take more than a few hours to finish.

After collecting their heads, the igneous earth team continued their journey. The same thing happened with the other three teams. They made their way through the insect forest easily.

So far, none of them have encountered any setbacks.

Alternatively,

While this was going on, the city wall's gate was swarmed up by the new wave of warriors. The city guards were finding themselves in quite a tough spot. The manpower is not enough to handle the crowd.

It is taking a long time to verify the background of the warriors. There is no sign of a decreasing crowd. This situation is streamed and reported by various people.

The remaining common folks residing in the city felt somewhat relief. For them, more warrior means more safety. Only with this kind of force, it is possible to eliminate all bandits.
