Chapter 103: Clues and Deals
Hearing the noise, William and the others quietly sneaked closer.
They saw many people gathered in the bushes over there.
"The Mecker family, the Walter family, the Connolly family..."
Sadie introduced the identities of those people to William.
"They are all newly risen forces in Saint Frian in recent years."
William rubbed his chin.
"It seems they also discovered the oasis problem and obtained clues to the 'Trait'."
He was thoughtful.
"We have to find a way to cooperate with them." Daphne also leaned in at this time. "With more people, the possibility of finding an oasis is also higher."
"Cooperate..."
William patted Sadie, signaling the latter to step aside for a talk.
Although Daphne was curious, it was inconvenient for her to follow.
Raph's eyes kept staring at the two.
A moment later.
"Is... is this true? This doesn't seem right..."
Sadie's face was excited for a while, and then she showed hesitation.
"We are doing 'this' to save people." William said earnestly. "Besides, the Cooper family's hounds have been following behind."
From meeting Daphne, he vaguely sensed someone following behind.
Only the distance was still far.
Therefore, William had not been idle along the way.
He threw away part of the dead monster corpses and left the rest in place.
At the same time, taking advantage of the injuries of the two hunters of the Calvin family, William smeared the flowing blood near the monsters.
Doing so was to create a false impression of "injury due to obtaining materials."
Let the Cooper clan get wrong information.
Back to the topic.
Sadie thought for a moment and decided to trust William.
After all, the Allard family's profit this time depended on the latter.
She just wasn't used to being a "bad person" yet.
After chatting, the two returned to the bushes.
Raph scratched his head vigorously, looking like "very curious but afraid to ask."
"How about it? Who will negotiate with the other party?"
Daphne whispered; she thought the two went to discuss this matter just now.
"I'll go."
Sadie adjusted the brim of her hat, recalling how William did such things in the past.
Then she took a deep breath, pushed aside the grass, and drilled out.
"Hey, guys, you seem to need help."
Sadie smiled; she opened her hands, indicating that she did not intend to pull out her gun.
Seeing an outsider appear, several families immediately stood up and took out their guns, putting on a defensive posture.
"The eldest daughter of the Allard family; what is she doing here?"
"Could she be chased by the Coopers? Damn Coopers, made me stink all over!"
"Did she seem to ask if we need help just now?"
A group of people discussed spiritedly.
At this time, Sadie's heart was beating fast.
But she still tried hard to steady her breathing and spoke in William's tone:
"I guess you can't find an oasis, and the 'Swamp Leaves' you brought are about to be consumed."
Mickey Mecker frowned: "So what? What does this have to do with you?"
"You idiot, why tell her the truth!" Zach Connolly said angrily.
Enrique Walter covered his face helplessly, lamenting how he ended up with this group of people.
"Tell you a piece of news for free."
Sadie raised a finger as she spoke; she had entered the state.
"Currently, the locations of all oases have shifted, and all previous recording points have failed."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused everyone to exclaim.
Everyone knew what this meant.
"How do you prove what you said?" Enrique Walter frowned.
Sadie smiled upon hearing this and threw a map over.
"This contains the oasis points recorded by the Allard family in the past."
Enrique looked suspicious, but still bent down to pick up the map.
Soon, he confirmed the authenticity of this map.
Some recording points on it were the same as the Walter family's, and they were all in hidden locations.
"Listen to your meaning; do you have a way to find a new oasis?" Enrique probed.
Along the way, he used the "Sacred Bell" many times, but found no trace of natural aura.
Sadie nodded: "So I want to make a deal with you."
"What condition." Enrique narrowed his eyes, estimating the price he could pay.
"I give you two choices."
Sadie raised two fingers.
"First, take out all materials for us to choose, and hand over the clues to the 'Trait' at the same time. After the transaction ends, I will take you to the oasis."
"Second, I will fire a few shots casually with modified ammunition now. You should know what its sound can attract."
As soon as the voice fell, the demon hunters opposite all showed angry expressions.
"Hey, who does this bitch think she is!"
"You call this a trading condition? This is clearly a threat!"
"I say we kill her now, then force her to tell the location of the oasis."
On the other side.
Daphne pulled her hair tightly, with an expression of "Are you kidding me?"
She thought Sadie went to discuss cooperation with the other party. Who would have thought the other party went to draw hatred!
We searched all the way just now and didn't find an oasis!
Are the brains of these guys abnormal!
She was already thinking about whether to run now.
"It seems everyone doesn't believe it." Sadie clapped her hands.
A moment later.
Bang!
A loud noise rang in the air.
The demon hunters present instantly lay on the ground, only Sadie still standing.
Behind the bushes.
"What are you doing!"
Daphne looked incredulous, looking at the two opposite.
She saw Raph pointing the gun at the sky, smoke still coming from the muzzle.
William covered his ears aside.
"Fire a few more shots." He said.
Raph hesitated upon hearing this, but did so after a moment.
Bang... bang...
The sound spread rapidly in the Plague Zone.
Daphne's face was full of despair.
After the gunshots, countless monsters would be attracted.
Along with those experienced demon hunter teams.
She stood up immediately, calling her two companions and planning to leave.
Outside the bushes.
A group of demon hunter families had the same idea.
Just now they dared to deal with Sadie.
But after the gunshots, everyone thought this woman was crazy.
They wouldn't risk their lives with the other party.
But Sadie wouldn't let these people go easily.
Or rather, William wouldn't.
"My companions are ambushing nearby. If you don't agree, they will shoot at you now."
"At the same time, we will follow you all the time."
Sadie shouted to the opposite side.
"This bitch!"
"Cooper, Allard, why are all these big families so shameless!"
The demon hunters stopped and cursed on the spot.
Every demon hunter cherished their life, and they also had to find an oasis quickly.
Therefore, the group of demon hunters dared not gamble.
"If she didn't mention going to the oasis, I would have thought they came to rob!" Enrique raged inwardly.
"How can you guarantee that you won't go back on your word after getting the stuff?"
At this time, someone raised a doubt.
"I can't prove it; you can only choose to believe."
Sadie shrugged.
"After all, the advantage is not with you."
These words were infuriating, but the demon hunters could only clench their fists.
A moment later.
Several demon hunter families placed the harvested materials on the ground.
Sadie picked a few, but the most important one was the "Stone of Revelation."
"Sorry, this is also forced by the Cooper family; their methods are too dirty!" Finally, she added a sentence.
These words made the corners of many people's mouths twitch.
After the transaction ended, William waited on the spot for a while, but no monster approached.
This made him a little helpless.
So he could only take back the arranged holy artifacts and leave clues targeting the Cooper family.
Seeing the situation ease, plus having doubts in her heart, Daphne still stayed.
Just like that... a magical scene appeared in the Plague Zone—
A group of demon hunters followed behind a priest.
"Can this guy find an oasis?"
"He seems to be the priest hired by the Allard family."
"We won't be deceived, right? Bewitching believers is the specialty of Church people."
Doubts sounded around from time to time, but William ignored them.
At this time, he was staring intently at a natural aura.
This trace was very weak.
If not relying on [Holy Pupil], it would be difficult for William to track continuously.
After traveling like this for a period, the surrounding poison fog became thicker and thicker.
Anxious expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Their "Swamp Leaves" were really running out!
Just when they were desperate inside, a clean breath suddenly blew towards them.
A group of demon hunters widened their eyes in surprise, followed by excited looks.
They saw a lake directly in front.
Clean flowers and grass, no rotten branches, and normal animals.
This place was out of place with the surrounding environment.
That guy really found an oasis!
