I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Thinking about it that way, Karyl also felt that it made a lot of sense. If someone were to be suddenly ambushed like that while on a mission, no one knew what might happen. If nothing went wrong, that would be fine, but if something went wrong, it would be a huge loss.

Furthermore, uncovering this matter would come with a substantial reward. Eliminating the masterminds behind the trouble would not only bring a good reward but also ensure the safety of the surrounding cities. In a sense, it was a very good thing, especially since Yuhaka and her group were short of money...

Meanwhile, as Yuhaka and her companions were considering accepting the mission, a short adventurer in a black cloak at the Adventurers' Guild quietly slipped away. After leaving, he headed towards a very secluded location, proceeding cautiously and frequently turning back to check if anyone was following him.

Soon, the other party arrived at a very dilapidated house. They went inside and carefully checked whether there was anyone else around before closing the door. After entering the dilapidated house, they went to a corner and opened a secret passage. They then went into a secret room and took off their cloak, revealing themselves to be a short dark elf.

The dark elf also wrote something on a piece of paper, then stuffed the paper into a small tube, and then had a raven carry the tube away.

After receiving the small tube from the other party, the raven flew out of the city through a passage. It flew into a stronghold deep in the forest and threw the small tube it had brought onto a wooden table before quickly flying away. After the raven flew away, a dark elf picked up the small tube that the raven had thrown and took out the note inside.

After glancing at the contents of the note, the dark elf who was reading it couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He then reported what he had seen to his captain.

The dark elf assassin captain frowned upon seeing the contents of the note and said:

"Those adventurers are still alive? How is that possible?! The giant spider's venom can kill a person in a very short time. How did they survive?"

The members of the Dark Elf Assassin Squad were also unsure of what was going on, as they were well aware of how potent the giant spider's venom was, and that without an antidote, it would be difficult to save the adventurers.

However, the captain of the dark elf assassin squad didn't continue to ponder why those adventurers were able to survive; instead, he wanted to know if he had saved those adventurers who were originally destined to die.

The members of the dark elf assassin squad also asked their captain:

"Captain, what should we do? Should we evacuate?"

Hearing his teammate's words, the Dark Elf assassin squad leader shook his head and said:

"No, not for now. Our mission is to cause trouble behind human lines, so that they can't focus on other things and prevent humans from discovering the location of the teleportation channels that our Demon King's army has set up."

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the Dark Elf assassin squad instructed his men to send messages to their companions in the city, telling them to keep a close eye on the situation inside and to send them intelligence as soon as they discovered anything.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka and her companions accepted the quest. Following the instructions of the Adventurers' Guild's receptionist, they arrived at a reception room where they saw many other adventurers, clearly there for the same quest.

Karyl looked at the adventurers around her. Although there were no villains like those in novels who looked down on the protagonist and came to provoke and mock them, the adventurers here were relatively indifferent. After all, the adventurers who came here were all competitors.

Although they are competitors, sometimes they may need to cooperate with other adventurers, so it is also to avoid conflicts with other adventurers. After all, if things don't go well, it will leave a bad impression on others and make them think that they are not good partners.

"OwO?"

Suddenly, Yuhaka seemed to notice something and looked towards the short figure in a cloak not far away. However, at this moment, a person who looked like a secretary came out and interrupted Yuhaka's attention. The person explained the relevant clues of this mission, told the precautions, and asked the adventurers to investigate these matters carefully.

Hearing their words, the adventurers present nodded in understanding. After Yuhaka and the others left, Karyl looked at them and said:

"So, where should we go to conduct our investigation?"

Javelin thought for a moment and then said regarding Karyl's question:

"How about we go to the place where we rescued the adventurers last time? I think there might be some clues there that we haven't discovered yet."

After hearing Javelin's suggestion, Yuhaka and the others thought it made a lot of sense, so the group headed towards the direction of the giant spider's cave from last time. Of course, Yuhaka and the others' movements were also observed by a crow.

P.S.: Sorry, I went back to my hometown today, so the update will be slower. I'll post the second update later. I'm going to have some late-night snack first.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1462 [Are you dumbfounded?! Youyou can drill holes! OwO!]

When Yuhaka and her group returned to the location of the giant spider's nest, they were unsure of how to proceed with their investigation, as the giant spiders had long since fled. Apart from the various bones left behind by the spiders, there were not many clues left.

Fortunately, after Karyl had Yuhaka remove the caves that Yuhaka had sealed off, Karyl and the others found a very clean cave. Seeing this, Karyl and the others realized what was going on.

After all, in a giant spider's nest full of spider webs, a passage without any spider webs was quite conspicuous. So Yuhaka and the others followed this cave passage to a relatively small underground space. There was nothing there, and it was as clean as if someone had cleaned it.

Yuhaka sniffed his little nose, as if he had smelled something. Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Javelin knew that Yuhaka had discovered something.

"YuYu-chan, can you smell something?"

Regarding the javelin issue, Yhaka nodded and said:

"Mmm~ Poison, and the smell of underground rats OwO~"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Karyl, who was standing to the side, also twitched her lips and said:

"Hey!? What kind of discovery is this? Rats underground can also—wait, Youyou, you just said there was a smell of poison?"

"Mmm, poison, oh my god~"

After hearing what Yuhaka said, Karyl realized that the poison did not refer to the giant spider's venom, but to a man-made poison. However, this puzzled Karyl greatly. How did Yuhaka smell the poison instead of the giant spider's venom?

Furthermore, Karyl realized a problem: why would there be rats in an area inhabited by giant spiders? Normally, wouldn't rats be scared away by these giant spiders?

After thinking for a moment, Karyl looked at Yuhaka and asked:

"Youyou, you said there are underground rats here, what exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing Karyl's question, Javelin and Maya, who were standing nearby looking puzzled, also had question marks above their heads, clearly not understanding what Karyl meant. However, after hearing Yuhaka's words, Javelin and Maya understood why Karyl had asked Yuhaka that question.

"Hmm, guys who like to dig holes smell like rats, Youyou can smell it too, there's even a hint of fragrance, Youyou smelled it at the Adventurers' Guild OwO~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Karyl and the others couldn't help but show expressions of surprise. Clearly, Yuhaka had sensed the mastermind behind it all, and the fact that the mastermind was also present in the Adventurers' Guild was the main reason why Karyl and the others were so surprised.

"Wait, Yu-Yu-chan! If you said you smelled that scent at the Adventurers' Guild, doesn't that mean there are spies for those people in the city!?"

Thinking about it this way, everyone present immediately realized that their actions had also been discovered by the other party.

Thinking about all this, Karyl couldn't help but cover her mouth and frown as she said:

"In that case, we'll be doomed... If the other side knows that the Adventurers' Guild has sent adventurers to investigate them, they'll most likely take action. The question is, will they attack the investigating adventurers or choose to retreat...?"

Upon hearing Karyl's speculation, Maya looked at Karyl with a panicked expression and waved her little hands, saying:

"Then, then, let's quickly tell the Adventurers' Guild about this! Otherwise, wouldn't the other adventurers be in great danger!"

Seeing the panicked Maye, Karyl, with a grim expression, said to Yuhaka and the others:

"No, I think they might have already taken action—"

As soon as Karyl finished speaking, Yuhaka and the others heard a loud noise outside, and the entire cave began to tremble. Karyl and the others looked unsteady on their feet, and the shaking ground made them instinctively reach out to Yuhaka, who was the most stable, for support.

Once everything calmed down, Javelin and the others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Javelin patted her rather arched chest and said:

"Phew...that scared me to death! What just happened? Was it an earthquake?"

Regarding the javelin issue, Karyl dusted herself off and denied it, saying:

"No, an earthquake can't make a sound like an explosion. I have a bad feeling. Let's go back and check."

After hearing Karyl's words, the group returned along the same path and found that the cave passage they were trying to take back was blocked by fallen rocks.

Seeing this, Karyl couldn't help but show a look of despair and said:

"Sure enough, the road back has been destroyed. We're doomed!"

Seeing the sudden, meme-like expression on Karyl's face, Javelin and Ehaka exchanged a glance, looking completely bewildered, as if they didn't know what Karyl was afraid of. Maya, seeing Javelin and Ehaka's calm expressions, didn't feel too tense, and Karyl's comical, meme-like expression made Maya want to laugh out loud.

Javelin came to Karyl's side, patted her on the shoulder, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Miss Karyl, Yuuyu can handle this kind of thing with ease!"

".....Eh?"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Karyl looked at Javelin with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand why Javelin said that Yhaka could easily solve such a problem. Then Karyl saw Yhaka showing its two claws and digging a hole in the ground.

Upon seeing this, Karyl immediately stopped thinking, as she had never witnessed anything like it before. A moment later, Yuhaka poked her little head out of the burrow and said to Javelin and the others:

"Youyou has dug the hole! OwO~"

"Well done, Yu-Yu-chan! Now we can go out~"

As she spoke, Javelin pulled the bewildered Karyl into the hole that Yuhaka had created, and Maya followed closely behind, jumping in as well.

Following Yuhaka and her group, they quickly emerged from the underground cave into the forest outside. Looking at the forest, Karyl had a bewildered expression, as if she hadn't quite grasped what was happening.

After being shaken a few times by the javelin beside her, Karyl's somewhat sluggish brain finally came to its senses.

"Huh? Huh?! Shall we come out?!"

Javelin looked at Karyl, who was staring at her in surprise, and scratched the back of her head, seemingly puzzled, and said:

"Um... Miss Karyl, let's come out."

Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, also came over and looked at Karyl with an "OwO?" expression, saying:

"Has Karyl gone mad?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Karyl immediately stomped her foot and said:

"They're not stupid! They just didn't realize it yet!"

Upon hearing that Karyl was alright, Javelin clapped her hands in relief and said:

"Phew~ That's great, it seems Miss Karyl is alright~"

Karyl blushed slightly upon hearing Javelin's words, turning her head away and fiddling with her long black hair as she said:

"Well, well... compared to my situation, wasn't that inexplicable explosion more concerning? Let's hurry over and take a look."

With that, Karyl took the lead and ran towards the cave entrance. Seeing Karyl's shy escape, Yuhaka touched his cheek and said to the javelin beside him:

"Kyuru the cat, so shy~///OwO///~"

Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Javelin patted Yuhaka's head and said:

"Alright, Yu-Yu-chan, let's hurry up and catch up. Don't do things like that before Miss Karyl does it~"

"Okay, Youyou knows! OwO~"

After the four returned to the original cave entrance, Yuhaka and the others saw that the cave entrance they had entered had been completely destroyed by the explosion, and a large amount of rock had buried the entire entrance. Seeing this, Karyl couldn't help but feel scared. If the cave entrance had been destroyed when they returned, they might have been buried alive.

Of course, Yuhaka, Javelin, and Maye are not afraid, for reasons that everyone understands.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1463 [The Dark Elves Wiped Out]

"Sniff sniff OwO~"

Seeing Yuhka sniffing the air around him, Karyl and the others knew that Yuhka was looking for the culprit who had blown up the cave entrance. Soon, Yuhka smelled something and found a faint footprint in the grass. Just as they had guessed, the cave had indeed been buried by rubble due to an explosion.

Noticing this, Karyl looked at Yuhaka and asked:

"Youyou, can you track them down?"

Upon hearing Karyl's question, Yuhaka gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem, and then Yuhaka entered search mode.

Under Yuhaka's search, Yuhaka and his group arrived at a location deep in the forest. With Yuhaka's powerful eyesight, he discovered a building that was hidden by magic. After all, it seemed very strange to find a source of magic in a forest where there was little magic.

Looking at the hidden structure in the distance, Yuhaka also looked at Javelin and the others and asked:

"Should we blow up those bad guys?"

Seeing Yhwachka wielding the Baradion sword with an eager expression, Javelin, standing nearby, pondered for a moment and said:
