Chapter 1606
Chapter 1606 Wynter is in Danger
"Understood." The person responsible for cleaning up the aftermath restored the scene to its original appearance, as though it was just a simple break room.
Leo watched as Wynter was carried off, his tiny legs anxiously pacing in place.
Wyner didn't speak aloud. Instead, she used telepathy to tell Leo, "Go find Wolf. He's that older guy you're all scared of. Tell him my location, and he'll bring people to help."
Leo froze momentarily at the mention of Wolf. He was indeed afraid of him, but he also knew he couldn't leave Wynter in trouble.
Still, as he descended deeper, he noticed that the pressure weighing on him grew heavier with every step. It was as if his resentment was being drained away. This place was too strange and ominous!
If his resentment could be sapped, could this mean that Wynter's spiritual energy was also useless here?
The thought made Leo's face pale. He couldn't delay any longer and had to follow Wynter's instructions. In such a situation, only an Ancient Beast could find a solution!
Meanwhile, the Special Unit lost the signal as they followed the trail to the inner city.
The team members exchanged glances, understanding that they couldn't recklessly enter this village. Thankfully, they had prepared ahead and disguised themselves as college students with backpacks, appearing as though they were simply looking for a place to pitch their tents.
Valen Village had lived in peace for a long time.
Whether good or bad, human nature required nurturing. For instance, Valen Village's people weren't particularly malicious, but sincerity wasn't their strong suit, either. After all, people were motivated by profit, and there was no wrong in that logic.
The townsfolk had been told to keep an eye on outsiders from the city-anyone other than developers deserved suspicion. They didn't understand exactly why, but with the right incentives, who wouldn't do this kind of work?
Anyone entering Valen Village wouldn't notice anything unusual. The main impression was that it would be difficult to relocate the residents and that they were too shrewd, always angling for a better deal. But no one knew whatever that lay deeper beneath the surface.
Now that the Special Unit had lost their lead, they weren't foolish enough to wander around aimlessly. After all, that would attract too much attention.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as they stepped into Valen Village, a local approached them. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Uh, we came to camp. We read online that you can see the stars here." It was a plausible excuse. After all, this was a rural area with high elevation.
The villager waved his hand dismissively. "This is my land. Who said you can just camp here whenever you like?" "Then... would it be possible for us to rent your place?" Camping was just an excuse. They needed a legitimate reason to stay in town.
The villager smiled as he heard that. Just as he was about to agree, a voice suddenly called out from nearby, "No, you can't. No stargazing here."
The villager seemned wary of the newcomer and quickly said, "You heard him. It's time to go. This isn't a place for you to be watching the stars."
With that warning, staying any longer would only blow their cover. The team exchanged glances and, while packing up, made sure to record footage of the interaction. The recording had no sound, and the newcomer remained unaware.
The newcomer looked over at the villager and said quietly, "Didn't I tell you that this is a critical time? No outsiders should be here now."
The villager took a step back before stuttering, "Y-Yes.... I was careless..."
Valen Village was difficult to infiltrate. But if they didn't get inside, what would happen if Wynter lost their support?
