Chapter 264: Ambushed (Part 1)

If it were placed too conspicuously, it would have aroused the Fierce Destructor Roc’s suspicion.

One or two minutes later, unable to resist the fragrance any longer, the Fierce Destructor Roc almost fully entered the cave, when suddenly, there was a loud noise that was come from outside.

The loud noise startled the Fierce Destructor Rocs, causing it to retracted back half of it’s body after halfway into the cave.

Amalia and her companions initially thought someone was causing trouble and they are already expecting the Fierce Destructor Roc to flee.

However, they noticed it still remained at the mouth of the cave and emitting an angry cry.

Responding to the Fierce Destructor Roc angry cry was another cry of the same species but with a different meaning, and Amalia and the others instantly understood.

This was a stroke of luck.

It turns out, there was another Fierce Destructor Roc nearby that was drawn by the scent of the Astringent Soul Berry.

However, there was only one Astringest Soul Berry, leading the two Fierce Destructor Rocs to confront each other.

Soon, there were sounds of fighting and trees being knocked down echoed from outside.

Amalia and Fabio Zelaya rushed out from the cave to see the two Fierce Destructor Rocs engaged in battle.

Their sharp claws scratching into the trees, instantly tearing a gaping hole in a tree that had stood for centuries.

"Goodness gracious, they’re actually fighting," exclaimed Fabio Zelaya, his mouth agape in astonishment.

Gustavo Herrera also looked bewildered, "When did our luck become so good?"

In a fight between two Fierce Destructor Rocs, there would inevitably be a loser, and for those who standing nearby, they were undoubtedly going to be the one who get the benefit.

Perhaps they wouldn’t even need to intervene to obtain one of the Fierce Destructor Rocs.

Both of them looked at Amalia at the same time. They had never experienced such good luck before. It could only be because of Amalia.

"I was wondering why there was so much commotion here. It’s turns out, it’s because of you."

A sinister voice suddenly rang out and Adrian Rodriguez’s face that was flickering with madness, emerged within Amalia’s line of sight.

"How did you end up here?" Amalia immediately narrowed her eyes.

Adrian Rodriguez smirked, "Guess."

Amalia scanned her surroundings sharply for a few seconds, her eyes like lasers and she quickly settling in one direction.

"Did you set up an ambush for us?" With questioning tone and assertive attitude.

"You have good observation," Adrian Rodriguez clearly saw there is no point in hiding it anymore, so she waving her hand as a dozen more people come out behind her.

All of them were from the Rodriguez family, and they were came well prepared, blocking off the two directions their opponents could retreat.

"Miss Vanquez, aren’t they from the Rodriguez family? What are they doing here?" Fabio Zelaya frowned as he observed their hostile demeanor.

"I don’t believe this is a coincidence," Amalia said calmly.

Fabio Zelaya and Gustavo Herrera’s faces changed suddenly, "Are you suggesting someone has exposed our whereabouts?"

Amalia feared this might be the case.

"But besides us, only some people in the legion that know we came here," Fabio Zelaya and Gustavo Herrera didn’t suspect each other.

They could only think of some members of the legion, but they were all their comrades, comrades who entrusted their lives to each other.

Neither of them believed their comrades would betray them.

"Besides that, I can’t think of any other reasons," Amalia also didn’t want to suspect those soldiers.

During this time together, she felt those people were all good people.

Fabio Zelaya and Gustavo Herrera looked grim, feeling sorry for Amalia again.

They had intended to report to her, but their actions led her into a trap.

"You don’t need to feel sorry. They were after me from the start," Amalia stated a fact.

Aware that she was consoling them, Gustavo Herrera sighed, "But if it weren’t for us suggesting it, they wouldn’t have caught you when you were alone."

"Speculating further is pointless. Let me make arrangements for what comes next. Don’t confront them directly. You are General Silva’s soldiers; they won’t dare to kill you. I’ll hold them off while you seize the opportunity to go back and find Commander Linares," Amalia instructed.

Yesterday before dawn, Kenny Lin had taken General Silva and a few others to search for the Essence Unity Crystal Vein.

Such a massive vein of ore wasn’t feasible to excavate immediately, but General Silva was very concerned about it and wanted to confirm the location of the Essence Unity Crystal Vein first.

So, they had left in the morning, and the legion was now under the command of commander Linares.

"No, we can’t just leave you behind," Fabio Zelaya and Gustavo Herrera said in unison.

If they truly abandoned Amalia and returned to the camp, not only would they have a hard time with it emotionally, but they would also be scolded by Commander Linares.

"Then one of you stay to help me, and the other go find Commander Linares," knowing she couldn’t persuade them, Amalia came up with a compromise.

"Then I’ll stay," Fabio Zelaya and Gustavo Herrera said at the same time once again.

"Fabio Zelaya, you stay," Amalia made a decision without hesitation.

Fabio Zelaya’s overall strength was slightly better than Gustavo Herrera’s, and his Artifact also had defensive capabilities, at least it was enough to save his life.

Gustavo Herrera looked unwilling, but he also knew this was the best arrangement for them.

So, he nodded in agreement.

"It seems like you’ve already discussed this," Adrian Rodriguez said with a smile as she watched them and allowing them to talk in low voice.

Seeing this scene, Amalia’s expression turned cold.

Adrian Rodriguez suddenly looked so confident.

She had a bad feeling about it.

Did Adrian Rodriguez have other support?

"Adrian Rodriguez, aren’t you afraid that General Silva will find out you’ve tampered his troops with a spy and cause trouble for you?" Amalia asked.
