<h4>Chapter 1253 - The Confident Intruders!</h4>


    ~Swish!


    Very quickly, some leaped like roons using the Air method, climbing the trees and jumping from tree to tree at an incredible speed.


    Some chose to move within the bushes instead,pletely vanishing from his sight.


    And others quickly got into the man-made swamp within Bushy valley and once again vanished from his sight.


    Like so, the gang hastened up and abruptly stopped at a certain position within Bushy Valley.


    And in a sh, their silhouettes disappeared like ghosts, leaving the surrounding region clear... As though they were never here in the forest ce!


    Good.


    Now, they wait.


    .


    ~Cricket! Cricket!


    ~Croak! Croak! Croak!


    The sounds of the night creatures singing in tune echoed out across the entire scene as the intruders all dashed through the weirdly mushy terrain at full speed.


    The ce was truly bizarre, giving the feeling of it being haunted.


    Tonight had been a very hot summer night, with little or no breeze this far.


    But the moment they got close to this region, a strong wave of cold air seemed to have engulfed the ce mysteriously, creating a thick nket of fog all around them.


    Instantly, everyone''s heart speeded up uncontrobly.


    Their senses were heightened, focusing more on the sounds around them rather than sight.


    Com''on. Com''on... All their training so far had prepared them for any asion.


    And subconsciously, they also took out their sharpened kitchen daggers while focusing their ears on the sounds of the frogs, crickets, or other nightly creatures around.


    You look left; I look right.


    You look up; I look down.


    Their eyes moved around in that manner.


    And using their special technique, they moved as if dancing across the strangely mushy terrain.


    Smush! Smush! Smush!


    They found that within the valley region, some people were swampy, other ces were dry, some just in muddy, and some areas were rocky instead.


    It was a mix of several terrains all in one region, making them switch their movements now and then.


    And now, feeling the hairs on their body stand at attention, several people couldn''t help frowning hard at the strangeness of the night.


    .


    "Boss... Why is it so foggy? There were no such troublesome clouds earlier on. So isn''t this strange?"


    "Yes, boss. I think it''s a little troublesome. So should we go back and choose another route?"


    "No way. We have to continue forward because if the fog is here, then it means that all the other regions ahead are also foggy as well. So it doesn''t matter which way we go in the end. We won''t be able to escape the Fog!"


    Several people made a fewments with whispered tones that were lower in tune than the surrounding sounds of nature.


    Scarface listened with an expressionless face before picking up his ce again.


    Of course, he was indirectly indicating that they had to keep advancing without retreating too.


    Yes! When they thought about it again, their leader''s decision seemed to make the most sense.


    For one, nightly fogs didn''t have the habit of just creeping up on one.


    No... Just like the rain, it moved from location to location via the clouds, ever so slowly.


    So maybe because of the cold, approaching rains or anything of that sort, the fog might''ve probably started a very far distance ahead, travelling downwards towards their way instead.


    .


    Anyway, fog was a natural phenomenon.


    So they didn''t believe that any enemy could do such a thing.


    That said, after analyzing things, this meant that the fog hade from above and should soon spread all across District B.


    Meaning that no matter where they went ahead, there should be fog there too, no?


    Of course, they weren''t astrologists, astronomers or anything of that sort.


    But from all their missions and outings, they had a reasonably good understanding of the weather.


    So if the fog was here, then this meant that even the prison they were headed to should already be covered with fog by now.


    Thinking of it like that, several people couldn''t help grinning cruelly.


    With this sort of thick fog, wouldn''t their job of rescuing their target and fleeing be way easier?


    Who knows... Maybe they might also be able to save the prisoner Morg genius too.


    The intruders all chuckled yfully while feeling too blessed for words alone.


    Look! Even the heavens were helping them.


    Meaning, it was all destiny!


    So it was a fact that whatever they, as Morgs wanted, would alwayse to them no matter the cost.


    This alone was a sign of their infinite blessings from above.


    So how could they not feel overly confident?


    Everyone grinned hard while still following their leader too.


    No more time-wasting.


    They had to take advantage of the fog and rescue the target fast!


    .


    Suddenly, Scarface stopped before whistling to his men, creating a mind-blowing sound that would shock anyone from modern-day earth.


    He rolled his tongue, tightened his throat, sucked in his jaws, controlled his airflow and blew gently.


    ~Wheewh~


    The whistling soundpletely blended in with the sounds of nature, making one feel that the sound was simr to a steady breeze slowing mildly.


    But if one listened hard and had enough skills, they could easily pick out the slightly out-of-tune pitches in it.


    And in just a few moves, 2 intruders quickly jumped onto 2 nearby trees and ascended high up, trying to get above the fog''s level.


    ~Tap. Tap. Tap!


    They squinted their eyes hard for a bolt, doing a 360-degree sweep.


    Sadly, the trees weren''t towering enough for them to stand above the fog. So they couldn''t see too far ahead.


    Nheless, they were still able to see a few things, as well as gather several clues on what direction they had to head towards.


    Thup-


    The scouts descend in 3 moves,nding before Scarface and Poison de: "NorthWest!"


    Hmmm...


    Everyone nodded and continued advancing past the valley terrain, not knowing that they were already in viewing rage of the hunters.


    And by the time they noticed something, it was already toote.


    Jonah held his trusty wooden sword heroically.


    The prey was closing in fast!
