Volume 1 Gamma Empire Chapter 53 Ace's whereabouts
"How so!" Sophia and Catherine, hearing Leo's words, were immediately shocked.
"Don't panic yet, let's search the campsite and see if there are any traces! Maybe Ace saw that the situation was too critical, and he returned to Zemu's camp first! Carl was also flustered, but he managed to endure it.
"Yes, yes, I'll start looking for it along the way back, and I'll leave the rest to you." John took the initiative to grab one of the tasks and ran back in the direction of the return first.
"John, if you don't run into each other along the way, you can go back to Camp Zemu first to confirm and see if Ace has returned!" Leo saw that John had run away, and immediately commanded at the top of his voice.
In the distance, a group of people saw John fire a fist of fire into the sky, as if in response to Leo's instructions.
"Alright, let's do a good search here and see if Ace has left any traces!" Carl and Leo glanced at each other and began to command in a deep voice.
Before he knew it, Carl seemed to have become the captain of the ten cadets, and all major decisions, similar to the group battle just now, or the unified transfer, were decided by him.
As for Leo, with his knowledge, he has become a vice-captain-level existence with his well-informed, which is comparable to Arthur's carefulness.
This status of the two of them is a fact that each of the 10 students acquiesces in, and even Arthur, who has always been a little proud, did not raise any objections to this.
A group of people began to search around the campsite, and Carl went straight to the place where Ace was slumped before leaving, and began to look.
"First of all, this meadow is indeed a deep depression, indicating that Ace did sit in this place......" Carl gently touched the lawn with his hand, and his eyes began to look around.
After a few breaths, Carl frowned, and began to read in pieces: "Within 5 meters of his body, there are no footprints to leave, and Ace does not have the skill to fly in the air for the time being......"
"Wait, this black mark!" Carl suddenly noticed a distinct mark and stepped forward to touch it with his finger.
"It's wet! By the way, this is the trace of Ace's ice battle spirit power after it melted! ”
Before Carl could tell everyone what he had discovered, Brooke was already shouting.
"Hey! Come here, everyone, there's a very suspicious trace here! ”
Carl subconsciously looked over and nodded secretly, indeed...... The direction of Brooke's shouting was indeed the direction in which he had discovered the traces of Ace's ice battle spiritual power.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you find anything? The fat man Panha Chi Ha Chi panted and gathered around with everyone.
Brooke gestured slightly with the bone staff in his hand, then bowed slightly to Catherine and said, "Excuse me, Catherine." ”
Catherine covered her mouth and chuckled, how could this guy be so polite to the students of the same period, the fingers of her right hand circled around the air, and a shining neon circle appeared.
"Ahh What a big trace......" Sophia exclaimed, and with the help of the light of the neon circle, she saw a large wet black mark on the ground.
"It's a trail of something large passing by, it's damp......" Leo said as he touched the soil on the ground with his hand.
"Arthur! In which direction does this trace extend? Carl shouted ahead.
After a while, Arthur, who was holding a golden greatsword, walked out of the shadows, his face cloudy.
"This wet trail extends all the way to the lake where you play during the day, and when you reach the lake, it disappears and cannot be followed."
"And along the way, I also found that there are still many traces of destruction by the ice battle spirit power on the surrounding plants and ground." Arthur was quick to tell the story of what he had discovered.
"I see, so Ace must be fighting an unknown monster, and the battlefield stretches all the way to the lake......" Carl frowned, telling everything he found in the camp.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts chuckled, so to speak, Ace has disappeared now, and there are only two situations, either fighting all the way, and he is still fighting with the enemy...... Either they were defeated by the enemy and taken captive......
Judging from the lack of ice battle spirit power of Ace before they left, the second situation seems to be more likely.
"Hey, Carl, do you remember the dark shadow we saw at the lake?" At this time, Sophia thought that her companion might be killed, and her speech trembled a little.
Hearing Sophia say this, Carl also instantly remembered, and at this time, looking at the water stain mark on the ground, it was obvious that the size and width of the object were almost the same.
Is it a monster from inside the lake? Could it be Zeg Zerg again! Karl's brow furrowed into a mountain.
Feeling everyone's sight, Carl could only say helplessly: "Let's search the lake first, remember not to go down into the lake!" ”
After the captain's order was given, a group of people immediately ran anxiously towards the lake.
"Sure enough, as Arthur said, that large trace of water stains disappeared when we reached the lake." Karl sighed and said helplessly.
"But the traces of the fight in this neighborhood are too tragic, if it is really Ace involved, why can that guy burst out with such terrifying energy?" Leo said uncertainly.
At this time, everyone who had searched around the lake had returned, but the result was the same: no trace of Ace was found.
"What should I do......" Carl looked at the dark and cold lake in front of him, did he really want to dive under the surface of the lake and search for Ace under this situation where the battle spirit power was greatly used and the light conditions were extremely bad?
Karl ...... What to do? Sophia spoke up to the rest of the people at this time, and at this time, only Carl, who was already the captain by default, could make a decision.
Carl was also in trouble at this time, it was originally because of his decision-making mistake that Ace would be left alone in the accommodation camp, otherwise Ace would not face the enemy alone......
Do you want to take everyone to search for Ace again, in this unknown situation? Or do you stay by the lake with everyone, wait for reinforcements from Zemu's camp, and hand over the task of searching for Ace to the reinforcements?
Carl is caught in a decision-making dilemma......
Fortunately, the situation that embarrassed him did not last long, and there was already a flash of fire on the road where they came, and John's shout was heard far away.
"Carl, Instructor Clark is here with the soldiers!"
