Chapter 344: You walk in forbidden ground

Gilford City was filled with its usual hustle and bustle, but it was not difficult to spot the two big shots amid the crowd.

Phoenix had her entire body covered, an oversized hood even covering most of her face, but Blood Wraith clearly had no intentions of keeping a low profile. The guy was as usual surrounded by women on all sides.

Blood Wraith never did subtle. Where Phoenix slinked through the crowd like a shadow with her hood pulled low, he practically glowed in the chaos of Gilford City’s market square.

He had a drink in one hand, his other arm draped lazily over the shoulders of a giggling woman, and three more clung to him as though he were the center of their orbit. He looked more like a rogue prince than a player.

"Can we ditch your brother?" Damon sent a message to Phoenix as he waved at them and walked over. Clearly, the woman read the message as her cherry red lips curved upwards into a beautiful smile, but she did not respond.

When Damon reached them, the contrast between the siblings was almost comical. Phoenix barely moved, the faintest tilt of her hood acknowledging him, while Blood Wraith spun half a circle with his entourage.

The girls clung tighter to him, and one even pouted when Damon’s presence drew Blood Wraith’s attention away.

"Big bro! You are finally here. Shall we go?"

"You really don’t know the meaning of low profile, do you?" Damon muttered as Blood Wraith finally detached himself from the giggling women, leaving them pouting in the square.

Blood Wraith smiled shamelessly. "I really tried, bro."

Damon gave him a flat look. Phoenix shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, I do not have the time to play around with you both. So let’s leave quickly." Damon started walking out of the city gates first. The other two had no problem catching up with him, and soon all three were out in the forests.

"The dungeon is that side, big bro. Our mine should be on this side. We haven’t actually seen the mine in person, but we know it’s in that direction. The NPCs here are so strong that we can’t even get past them to take a quick look at the mine."

Blood Wraith gestured vaguely toward the distant tree line. "Every time I poked my head that way, it’s instant death."

Phoenix also chimed in. "I tried circling the perimeter a few times myself. Patrols are frequent, and they’re no ordinary NPCs. Their strength rivals mid-tier bosses, and they don’t wander aimlessly. They’re organized."

Damon nodded as he silently observed the surroundings. All around them, there were tall trees with thick trunks and lush canopy that allowed only streaks of sunlight to bleed through. There were strange runes and symbols etched on the trees which Damon had never seen before.

"Should we stop? Figure out some sort of strategy?" Phoenix asked, nervously.

"What are you talking about sis? Boss here is awesome. There is no need for any strategy or shit. He will just thrash them all with pure strength." Blood Wraith quickly shut his mouth sensing a death glare from his sister.

Phoenix was about to say something when suddenly Damon stopped the both of them. "Shhh. They are here."

The next second, a few men appeared from behind the trees and surrounded the three of them. Phoenix’s breath hitched under her hood as five, no, six figures stepped out from behind the massive trunks. Their skin was as dark as tempered obsidian, their muscles carved like stone, each one built like a war champion. Even the women in their ranks were similarly built.
