Chapter 165: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 4

They are acting.

That was the realization that instantly dawned upon everyone, excluding Kayn.

Honestly, Kayn isn\'t new to this kind of situation, that\'s why he was able to easily tell that those people were acting.

When he was still exploring the \'Tower\' in the second life, he had his fair share of experiences as it is one of the most commonly used strategies by mostly barbarians and bandits.

Honey Trap…

Spider Trap…

Theatrical Trap…

These were the popular variety of this kind of style in trapping a target.

If he remembered correctly, they call it the Quick Sand Operation, because the target would be falling deeper into quicksand with every move. Unlike the actual quicksand though, the word \'Quick\' on it means that everything happens really fast that one wouldn\'t even be able to realize what exactly is going on until it finally happens.

"Hey! People over there!"

One of the men suddenly called out.

In order to not alert the enemies, Kayn and the others turned their heads naturally.

"Why?" Kayn pretended that he was curious why they called his team.

"Um…"

Clearly, the man wasn\'t prepared to respond to Kayn after calling him out. In fact, he shouldn\'t have done that in the first place. But for the sake of the plan, he had to make sure that Kayn and his group didn\'t realize that something is wrong.

"Have you also finished your hunt?" Kayn decided to break the awkward tension between the two groups.

"Oh, that\'s right!" The man can\'t help heaving a sigh of relief.

"It seems that it is better for us to continue walking in that direction," Kayn pretended to be interested.

"We were just lucky," The man felt delighted inwardly. In his mind, he thought, "That\'s right, as long as you continue in that direction you will be in for a surprise, hehe,"

"I don\'t quite believe in luck. For two groups to bring such a huge monster from that direction only means one thing — the profit lies over there!" Kayn muttered excitedly. He glimpses at Gilbert and the others as he whispers. "We will make a detour once they are gone,"

"Good luck with that," The man already confirms that Kayn\'s group haven\'t realized anything yet, so he finally bid farewell. "We\'ll continue heading our way, then,"

"Keep safe," Kayn waves his hand.

As soon as the man\'s group was gone, Kayn quickly returns to his conversation with Gilbert and the others.

"Should we move now?"

"We\'ve pretty much confirmed already where their trap is actually located, at least the general direction of it," Unbeknownst to the man, his response back then had pretty much revealed to them where it is most dangerous. "We can\'t leave any place unsearched, so will make a detour in order to launch a surprise attack on where the majority of their force is hiding,"

"But if don\'t go there like what you claimed we will do, they will definitely suspect it," Gilbert was in doubt about how they can launch a surprise attack if their enemy knows where they are moving.

"I know, but trust me, the majority of their force won\'t chase after us. The worst case scenario would only be two to three groups chasing us,"

"You sure?" Gilbert still didn\'t believe it.

"How many people do you think they have?"

"Considering that those two groups just now were made up of five people each, I guess more than twenty,"

"You\'re wrong," Kayn shook his head. "If we continue going over that direction, we\'ll most likely meet a third group or even a fourth group. Making it twenty people in total. In that case, won\'t there only be a few people waiting for us at the end?"

"Impossible! If that\'s true, then just how many people do they have?"

"This isn\'t just any ordinary trap. This is an operation being executed by an organization. And luckily for us, we are not the only target,"

That\'s right, the so-called Quick Sand Operation doesn\'t only target a single group, but multiple groups. And the exact reason for that is that targeting a single group using a lot of people isn\'t a profitable venture. Imagine more than twenty people sharing the loot of four individuals. Surely not everyone would be satisfied with what they would receive, right? Even if they execute it multiple times in a day, there would still be barely any profit to share between more than twenty people.

At this moment, there are likely multiple groups heading in the same direction as where they were planning on heading before, except that they are coming from different areas of the west side.

Kayn muttered confidently. "We should be able to easily take care of two to three groups that are made up of five people each,"

"You shouldn\'t be looking down on us," Gilbert smiled in excitement.

That isn\'t even something to consider about. They can even travel in the deep parts of the Slumbering Forest and come out without a scratch, let alone take care of a few weaklings.

Considering that these people decided to execute such an operation only in the safe area of the Slumbering Forest despite the fact that they have so many men, it only means that they are weak and don\'t possess enough courage to face the real dangers of this place.

"Insulting us like that; I guess I have to look for a place to vent out my anger. Those people you mentioned should be a good target," Jude looks at Charles meaningfully.

"They definitely will, without a doubt," Charles nodded.

The reason why Gilbert, Jude, and Charles are acting like this is evidently because they are itching for some action for a long time now.

It\'s only natural considering that Kayn made three powerful individuals do a search operation for hours now. The nature of their work basically involves fighting and being on the edge of a knife, so it isn\'t strange for them to get bored already.

The chance to fight against more than twenty people at the same time is obviously a good opportunity to solve their boredom.

It wasn\'t only them that felt that way, Kayn is also feeling the same, probably even worst knowing who he once was.
