บท 455: Gnome Settlement

Two days later, Zero and his group finally arrived in the area that the young djinn said the gnomes settled in. Mii didn't know the exact location because her map was outdated but they were a lot closer than they were before.

"This is it," Zero told the team. "We need to start digging holes into the ground blindly to know where their hideout is. Be careful not to go too close," Zero warned. "They have defence mechanisms in place. Bob, you go with Jermine. Don't go too deep. Truen and I will act separately."

Truen and Zero's jobs were to imitate the presence of monsters in the area to trick the traps into activating. Once they activated the traps, they would be able to trace the origin of the attack. At least, that was the plan they had in mind.

Who was to know that the gnomes had been watching them ever since they entered their territory a week ago?
