After making sure that none of his men noticed him, the boss turned and ran.

"What a bunch of idiots! Killing them? How could that be that easy? Those who dare to come in and chase us are no weaklings. Even if they are not as strong as us, they are definitely not opponents we can defeat in a short time. By then, let alone killing them, we are afraid that we will be surrounded by other adventurers first!"

"You idiots, just play a little role for me in the end. As long as you hold that guy back, I still have a chance to escape."

The thieves were still following their leader's orders to kill the person who had sent the signal, completely unaware that their trusted leader was getting further and further away from them, until he had completely disappeared into the forest...

"Are you here..."

Hulim naturally had full knowledge of the thieves' movements, so he was ready to meet the enemy.

“Found it! Here—!”

A thief was the first to notice Hulim's figure and shouted loudly.

But when they saw Hulim's appearance clearly, the thieves were all stunned.

"What the hell... Isn't this guy just a brat?!"

"Boss, how could this guy be a little devil——"

The confused thieves subconsciously wanted to ask the big boss, but when they looked back, the big boss was no longer in the team.

"Where's the... the boss?"

The thieves looked at each other, completely confused as to what had happened. Why did their boss suddenly disappear?

“… …”

Looking at the messy thieves in front of him, Hulim said:

"Have you finished your discussion? Forget about your boss. He abandoned you halfway and ran away. You are just pawns he used to delay his pursuers."

"What? You little brat, you actually dare to insult our boss!?"

“… …”

Unexpectedly, when Hulim told the truth, the thieves not only did not believe it, but became angry and embarrassed.

"Kill this little brat of yours first, then go find the boss!"

The thieves rushed towards Hulim with weapons in hand.

Hulim raised his wand calmly.

What kind of magic should I use? The traces of third-level fire magic are too obvious, and others will know it is third-level at a glance. Although the traces of wind magic are not obvious, the residual wind elements will still make people realize that it is wind magic. Although I don’t know how much Alex and the others know about me, considering the relationship between the other party and my father, I’d better be cautious here.

Then use that magic...

“【????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????】”

Hulim recited the spell quickly, and brilliant sacred white light quickly gathered around her.

"Huh?! Is there something wrong with this guy..."

When Hulim chanted the spell, the thieves realized something was wrong, but it was too late!

"——Glow Flash!"

The dazzling white light illuminated the surrounding forest. The white light, as thin as a blade, spread out in a circular shape in all directions and passed through the thieves' waists in an instant.

Probably less than two seconds.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

All the thieves' bodies fell down.

"One more..."

Hulim didn't even glance at the fallen thieves. She turned her head and looked in a certain direction. In the view shared by the hyacinth, a thief was running away...

... ...

"Damn it! Those losers can't even delay for a little while!?"

The thief leader, who was tied up tightly with ropes, shouted unwillingly.

"Behave yourself!"

Alec slapped him, and the right side of the thief leader's face swelled up visibly, and he also became much more obedient.

"Go! Go on your own!"

Under the threat of the sword at his neck, the bandit leader completely lost his temper and could only walk towards the camp under the escort of the adventurers.

When the adventurers escorting the bandit leader reappeared in the camp, the people who were cleaning up the battlefield in the camp cheered and celebrated this perfect victory.

... ...

... ...

"Hey, Hulim, I'm actually curious about something."

At night, by the campfire, Anjie asked the question in her heart.

"Didn't you say you didn't see the spy? Then how did you know who the spy was?"

The other members of the Hunting Fang team were also very curious about the question raised by Anjie.

Because Hulim had identified the spy's identity from the beginning, the operation was able to proceed smoothly. Otherwise, if the spy was inside the adventurers or the caravan, such a large-scale plan would simply not work.

Hulim put down the barbecue in his hand and glanced at the place where the thieves were imprisoned. There, the middle-aged woman who was a spy was imprisoned in the same way as others.

The adventurers found her in the nearby jungle without much effort. She was still alive, but her eyes looked as if she were dead. She was captured without any resistance.

As for why Hulim was sure it was her even though he hadn't seen her face, the story goes back to the beginning of Hulim's journey...

At that time, although the old lady in the same car behaved suspiciously and invited everyone to taste her cookies, Hulim did not actually doubt her identity, because the cookies she provided were indeed specialties from certain places.
