The harvest was not bad. In addition to the experience, Lorne also obtained a necklace and a dagger. These two items were both spirit artifacts, but they were also badly damaged.

‘I’ll wait until night to repair these two spirit artifacts and see what they can do,’ Lorne thought.

“Now, continue to accept missions and finish these missions!”

He directly accepted the missions in the system interface and told the workers that the demons had been dealt with. The workers did not believe it at first, but when Lorne led the workers to the quarry, they let out a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go to the next place.”

Lorne turned on the communicator and connected to the signal. Although it was expensive to surf the internet for ten minutes by satellite, Lorne could afford it.

One had to know that one hour required only six contribution points and one day required no more than a hundred contribution points. It would not be a problem to keep it open all day.

Soon, Lorne found the location of the level-4 demon in the mission and rushed over there. He still did not accept the mission first. Instead, he was prepared to do the same as this time.

He would go to the location to eliminate the demon and then accept the mission. This way, the other party would not be able to find Lorne’s location and would be misled by Lorne.

On Iron Valley Mountain, two teams of spirit envoys were still waiting. They were very patient. After waiting for more than an hour, the spirit envoys still did not show the slightest bit of impatience.

“Yuanlong, something’s wrong. I just refreshed it and another mission disappeared. It’s located in a quarry,” at this moment, a spirit envoy said.

This spirit envoy held a communication device in his hand and saw the change in the mission.

“Is there another spirit envoy besides that kid?” Yuanlong asked.

He took the communication device, looked at it for a while, and then said in a low voice, “It’s possible. There are still spirit envoys who are not afraid of death.”

“Then what should we do? Continue to guard here or go to the quarry?”

The square-faced man pondered for a while and then said, “Hehai, you stay here and guard. Yuanlong and I will go to the quarry to take a look. Once we find any traces of Lorne, you follow him. Don’t do anything yet. Send a message to me.”

“Okay!”

When they set off, the square-faced man even called for the bald man’s companion. After informing them of their guesses, the two of them immediately decided to leave someone here to continue waiting while they went to the quarry to investigate the situation.

They had split up! Each side left a spirit envoy to guard the Iron Valley Mountain.

The square-faced leader and a spirit envoy, together with the bald man with two spirit envoys, departed for the quarry.

If they really met Lorne there, they would definitely have the strength to kill him! As veteran spirit envoys, they were quite familiar with the environment outside Jiang City base.

Around two o’clock in the afternoon, the square-faced man and the others arrived at the quarry.

“The demons here have been eliminated?”

The square-faced man received the news from the workers in the quarry.

“Who eliminated them? Is it a very young boy?” The square-faced man pressed on.

“Yes, Sir. He was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. At first, we thought he was here to cause trouble, but it was indeed him who killed the demon. Now we can all work inside as usual.”

A worker was in charge of the pipeline.

“It was indeed him,” the spirit envoy named Yuanlong said.

“When was the demon killed?” the square-faced man asked.

The supervisor of the workers said, “Half an hour ago.”

“Did you see which way he went?”

The supervisor of the workers shook his head. “I didn’t pay attention to that. He’s the lord spirit envoy. I don’t even dare to look at him.”

“Yuanlong, keep an eye on the communicator. Let’s go. Let’s leave this place first.” The square-faced man made a decision. He left the quarry with Yuanlong.

“He just left half an hour ago. He might be resting nearby or preparing to take on another mission. Keep an eye on him.”

“Yes, Boss. Should we call Hehai over?” Yuanlong asked.

“No need. A person can take on two missions at the same time at most. We have to prevent him from taking the mission in Iron Valley Mountain. Moreover, Hehai is too far away.”

The square-faced man did not know that not long after he and Yuanlong left, the supervisor who had just spoken to them took out a communicator and sent a message.

The recipient was Lorne. The supervisor was surprisingly bribed by Lorne.

Lorne used 50 contribution points to get him to cooperate. Once he left, other people would come to inquire about the situation here, even if they had to tell the truth.

However, he only needed to lie about one thing. That was the time Lorne had left.

No matter when the other party came, the supervisor would only say that Lorne had left for half an hour. As for the other workers, they had been instructed by the supervisor and sent to work.

While they were busy, they would not have the chance to talk to the the square-faced man’s companions. Then, the supervisor would tell Lorne the news as soon as possible.

The square-faced man did not know that Lorne had been alerted. The current situation had been played out by Lorne.

To the supervisor, this matter did not pose any risk. Furthermore, he easily earned 50 contribution points, which was 50,000 yuan. It was equivalent to half of his annual income, so he was naturally happy.

On the other side. Lorne, who had been turning on the satellite signal, had already received the news.

“As expected… Am I being targeted?” Lorne whispered.

This time, the news that Cai Xukun had sent to him was basically confirmed.

“It’s not just the square-faced man’s companion. There’s also a bald man. There are more than one group of people who want to kill themselves.”

Lorne’s gaze slowly turned cold.

“Let’s finish you off first.”

He led the two sisters into an underground entrance. There was a level-4 demon in there.

More than ten minutes later, Lorne walked out. The demon in the cave had already been finished off. Lorne looked at the time. It was still afternoon.

‘There are only two of square-faced man’s companions. That means that there’s another one guarding Iron Valley Mountain and a bald man with a subordinate. If they were all lying in ambush in Iron Valley Mountain, they must’ve discussed beforehand about splitting up their troops.

‘The intelligence they have now thinks that I’ve only left for half an hour. They must be searching the vicinity while keeping an eye on the communicator, waiting for me to take on the next mission before heading there to ambush.

‘The people lying in ambush in the Iron Valley Mountain might still be waiting there. Dina’s strength is already close to the peak of level-4 and Nita’s condition is already at the mid-level of level-4, with me as well,” Lorne thought for a while and came up with a rough analysis.

A cold light flashed in Lorne’s eyes and he made up his mind!

“Go to the Iron Valley Mountain and take care of those people lying in ambush first!”
