My game crossing system

Chapter 372: Lower Yangtze River Area (3)

After arriving nearby, everyone found obvious traces of lizardman footprints and banshee crawling.

"It seems that the Red Merchant Group has been here."

"These traces appear to be from local monsters, covering up the original traces."

Angelica quickly came up with a hypothesis based on the marks on the ground. After all, these monsters hadn't appeared in years. The banshee's marks, in particular, were far too deep for their size to warrant.

Just then, there was new movement in the grass near the river.

"Everyone be careful, there might be a monster lying in ambush at the entrance."

"Wait, don't do it!"

"Charlotte, it's me!"

Just as Chief Qiu and his men were ready for battle, human voices were heard from the bushes.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

"Kaye, why are you here?"

"Could it be that there is news about my father?"

"But, we have contacted you so many times, why haven't you replied to our messages?"

As expected of Charlotte's childhood sweetheart, even before Kai showed up, Charlotte was able to recognize him. Otherwise, with Charlotte's memory, she would forget someone she had met several times the moment she turned around.

When Charlotte remembered that she had asked Kai and the brothers to help find her father, she subconsciously asked. Before asking, Charlotte had already sensed that this time she would gain something new.

"It was a close call. I was almost killed by my own people as if I were a monster."

Kai moved the hat he had been wearing, as if it had been loosened by the grass.

"Charlotte, your intuition is still as terrible as ever."

"As for not replying to messages?"

"Just like you have been busy saving the Prophet, I also have my own mission."

"I've been busy with my superiors' affairs. As soon as I have time, I will help you search for your father's whereabouts."

At this point, Kai had a look on his face as if he was defeated by you.

While Shilonai was anxious to find her people, she also knew that something had happened to Charlotte's father. Having faced similar situations, Shilonai suppressed her inner anxiety.

"It seems like you have teammates who are very anxious."

"Then let me quickly explain the situation."

Kai noticed Shilonai's anxiety and briefly explained what would happen next.

"Charlotte, your father disappeared. I spent a long time but didn't get any useful information."

"Until recently, when I was staring at the river near your estate, I discovered a place I had been overlooking."

"Since there are no traces of your father and outsiders leaving the manor in the mud outside, then he most likely left the manor by boat."

"After all, the water source of the small lake at your home comes from the nearby river."

"It's just that the lake at your home didn't have any boats moored there before, so I forgot about that."

Perhaps remembering his wasted time, Kai smiled wryly.

"After that, I went to the upstream and downstream areas of the river and asked relevant villagers. I learned that on the night of the accident, a boat went upstream along the river."

"After I got the clear information, I continued to track it along the river."

"Finally, I found an abandoned boat at the top of the river, and on it, I found some of your family's belongings."

"Seeing some of the items left behind, I realized that my uncle must have been discovered by the enemy who was tracking him."

"So, he abandoned most of his belongings and must have left with a few items."

"After that, I followed the tiny footprints and followed them all the way here."

"I just didn't expect you to come when I just discovered new clues from the tiny traces left."

Kai pointed to the waterweed where he came from and explained with a wry smile.

"It looks like you're going to the front."

"It just so happens that the traces left in the grass also point to this place."

"Charlotte, since you are here, I'll leave the rest to you."

After Kai explained the whole story, he decisively handed the rest of the matter over to the original owner.

"Okay, leave the rest to my team."

"There are two large groups of monsters ahead. You'd better leave first."

Angelica agreed without waiting for Charlotte to reply. Perhaps because Kai said too much, Charlotte was a little slow to understand.

"Lizardmen and banshees, I'm quite clear about that."

"Charlotte and her teammates, please be safe from now on."

After saying hello, Kai quickly turned around and left.

"It seems that we have one more purpose for this trip."

Angelica looked at her teammates and expressed her feelings.

"Let's go quickly."

Then, Angelica urged the other teammates.

At this time, Angelica already had a new bad guess in her mind.

As for Charlotte's family, she had already learned from her intelligence that they were closely connected to the Brotherhood of Steel, a secret organization founded by Barna, one of the six heroes. One of Barna's goals in establishing this organization was to target another evil organization in the shadows, the Followers of the Dragon.

Now, regardless of whether the enemy chasing Charlotte's father belonged to the Dragon Followers, his escape route took him into a relatively important stronghold of the enemy.

Angelica didn't need to think further, she knew that Charlotte's father would definitely not have a good ending.

As for the purpose of Charlotte's father coming here, Angelica guessed that he most likely wanted to use the power of monsters to escape the enemy's pursuit.

But the actual situation was that Charlotte's father ran directly into the home of the hostile force.

Following the traces left by the monster, the Qiu Chieftain team moved forward cautiously.

Charlotte, who was at the front, looked around from time to time, trying to find any traces of her father.

As the team continued to go deeper, the ground began to become very wet. When they reached the area where the water surface was mixed with the wet land, they could already see the remains of many ancient ruins.

"Hiss (Human)!"

"Hiss (Humans are coming)~"

While Chief Qiu and his men were still paying attention to the surrounding environment, the lizardmen in front of them had already discovered them.

"Go ahead and take care of them."

"Since these monsters are related to the Dragon Followers, it is only natural for us to break our original agreement and destroy them."

Angelica saw Sean looking back at her and knew he was thinking about what they had mentioned earlier. After all, as a direct descendant of the Adventure Guild, the Adventure Guild had never broken this tacit understanding before, so he had some concerns.

While Chief Qiu was still hesitant, the small group of lizardmen on the outermost alert came up with forks and wooden shields.

From a distance, one of the lizardmen charged directly towards Sean and the others.

"Hey! Salted fish stab?"

Thunderbolt

Compared to Sean's hesitation, Qiu Chief was well prepared. As soon as the monster attacked, Qiu Chief's skills were used simultaneously.
