Chapter 350: Surrounding Tactic

“…You will have two choices.

“The first is to fully disclose any information you have.

“The second choice is for me to beat you half to death first, then…”

His voice was very calm, filled with the elegance of a cultured person.

The Dark Society members noticed that the Sprite Trainer walking towards them didn’t look fierce either. Instead, he was young and handsome.

However…

When it landed in their ears, it sounded like a demon’s low moan.

The figure walking towards them gradually appeared larger and larger.

“I…”

As the leader of the Dark Society and the man responsible for sniping the Sprite Trainers of the Union, of course I…

“I surrender!”

He decisively squatted down and hugged his head with both hands.

It made the other Dark Society Sprite Trainer look stunned. How could you give up so quickly!

…

“Inspector, you’re too…”

Behind him, Tie Yu and Tong Jia emerged from the gap anxiously.

In front of them, the Master Hound with a bronze l.u.s.ter made a defensive posture immediately.

It was to welcome the incoming enemy’s sneak attack.

But…

After waiting for a while.

They only saw the unique skills of the various elements attacking from both sides fixed in mid-air.

Then, they saw the attacking elements returning back at an even faster speed!

The attacks had hit the enemy instead.

In just two to three seconds, their inspector had finished off the few sprites lying in ambush on both sides.

The two master-level members of the Dark Society were also seen to be covering their heads as they squatted down obediently.

Tie Yu and Tong Jia: “???”

The words that were about to come out of their mouths got stuck. After a while, they both said, “…You’re too, too strong!”

The two shouted, “What do we do now?”

Unknowingly, they had already completely thought of themselves as subordinates. When they encountered problems, they didn’t think about it themselves but instead asked Su Hao directly.

To put it in simpler terms, they couldn’t do much but to cheer and to follow orders obediently.

Of course, they weren’t useless either. They immediately made an a.n.a.lysis according to the situation of the stronghold.

“Right now, the members of the Dark Society are definitely moving. Furthermore, they are definitely also moving some important ‘item’, and not just the members of the Dark Society in the stronghold.”

Tie Yu said, “According to the behavioral patterns of the Dark Society, they don’t care about the life and death of ordinary members. In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Dark Society, ordinary members are just cannon fodder. Therefore, there must be something that they need to transfer. Otherwise, the strong people in the stronghold would have probably already left after hearing the news.”

Su Hao nodded slightly.

Indeed, arrest officers like Tie Yu and Tong Jia were more familiar with these things and naturally had a better train of thoughts.

But at the moment, Su Hao also had some basic understanding.

The members of the Dark Society who were mixed in the various countries on Planet Aquamarine, especially in the large countries, basically had the goal of stirring up trouble. Even if there was a stronghold, the scale wasn’t big. It was just a temporary gathering point—the Dark Society experts were also worried about being wiped out in one go.

And in the Spirit Summoning World, the strongholds were more like bases built by the Dark Society.

These strongholds were better hidden..

They were also larger.

From what the surrendered Dark Society leader told them, Su Hao learned that there were ten leaders and three officers in the entire stronghold.

“The three officers are Agumu, Scarface Dragon, and Miyamoto, but I don’t know much about their specific strength.”

Listening to the intelligence poured out by the leader of the Dark Society, Su Hao thought slightly.

Then, he looked at b.u.t.terfly.

“Gurgle ~!”

b.u.t.terfly said that they probably weren’t lying, but it was unknown if they were still hiding anything.

I’m not a lie detector, gurgle ~

“In that case…” Su Hao looked at Tie Yu, Tong Jia, and Mo Tao and the others who came in from the entrance and said,

“Let’s split up. If we find anything, we’ll contact each other through the wristbands.”

“Um… alright.”

Tie Yu and Tong Jia looked at each other.

The original arrangement was to act together to make up for the inspector’s lack of experience.

But now…

Well, it was true that they didn’t need to play support given Su Hao’s strength.

They agreed to form a team between the two of them to search in one of the directions.

Mo Tao left the two men to guard the entrance of the valley while he led the remaining two to head in another direction.

…

On both sides were two to three-story tall buildings. They were relatively simple and crude, probably where ordinary members usually lived.

At this moment, Su Hao couldn’t see anyone.

b.u.t.terfly’s perception searched and found some sprites with pretty strong energy levels, but the terrain in the valley was complicated. Some of the positions seemed to be not far apart, but they were still separated by a mountain wall or underground.

“Hmm…”

Su Hao thought for a while and said, “Searching like this is still too slow…”

He was worried that the Dark Society experts might have already gradually escaped the valley through the tunnels or other exits.

Even if there were other Sprite Trainers blocking the periphery, he didn’t think that they could stop an officer of the Dark Society.

“In that case…”

He looked at b.u.t.terfly and the others. “We have to surround the whole valley at the fastest speed. Crow, fly in a straight line until the end of the valley and look for enemies.”

“b.u.t.terfly, give it a try and see if you can burrow into the ground and search for possible underground pa.s.sageways.”

“Dumb Unicorn and you guys, move here, here, and here.”

Apart from the entrance they came from, Su Hao arranged different search routes for the sprites.

The key was to do all this quickly.

They also needed to surround the periphery.

Not a single important member of the Dark Society could be left uncaptured!

“What should we do if we find them? Of course we should beat them up first. If we don’t use force, how can we make them behave obediently?”

As the Dazed Crow listened, its eyes gradually revealed a burning light.

With a whoosh, it turned into a stream of light and flew deep into the valley.

Dumb Unicorn, Big Fat Bear, Ehfu, and the others also left one after another.

“Gurgle ~!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. With Ah Yan around, I still have the ability to protect myself.”

Ah Yan emerged from Su Hao’s shadow and kept nodding.

It seemed to be a.s.suring b.u.t.terfly that it would protect Su Hao well.

b.u.t.terfly signaled that she understood and with a flap of its wings, it flew dozens of meters away. Its body gradually turned incorporeal, and it dived into the ground.

Seeing this, Su Hao continued to search aimlessly for enemies.

“I’m just an unarmed Sprite Trainer. I should be able to lure out a lot of Dark Society lunatics, right? When the time comes, I just need to ‘protect’ myself a little.”

This was the reason why he left Ah Yan behind.

Of course, other than that, Ah Yan was also very good at protecting. If he really encountered great danger, Ah Yan could sweep him away and escape.

This method of escaping was more effective than escaping with the Dumb Unicorn’s cloud.

“So, where is everyone?”

…

The valley was very dark. The light was only coming from the top and through some of the gaps.

The Dazed Crow spread its wings and flew. A fiery red halo circulated, making it appear especially dazzling.

Before long…

It discovered some Dark Society members fleeing in panic.

Crow reached out its blade, but recalling Su Hao’s instructions, it retracted it and continued flying forward.

The fleeing members pa.s.sed some buildings and trees growing in the valley.

From time to time, it would wave out a red light and get rid of one or two sprites, disturbing the scouting enemy sprites.

Soon, it arrived at the end of the valley.

There were no longer any buildings here. The rock walls on both sides were now closer, causing the s.p.a.ce to appear a little cramped.

At this moment, on the ground at the end of the valley…

A team formed by more than ten Sprite Trainers and dozens of sprites was running rapidly.

There were probably many enemies in the team that weren’t weak.

Flames immediately ignited in the Dazed Crow’s eyes.

“Squawk…”
