Just as Jacob's voice trailed off.

"Hahahaha…" the Glean Gnome suddenly laugh hysterically as if he heard the biggest joke of his life. Despite the weakness in his voice, it sounded extremely creepy.

He menacingly uttered, "Dream on little piggy, if you think you can go to the rare region with that weapon of yours, then you really have a death wish!"

Jacob merely chuckled, with a hint of killing intent. "It seemed you know quite a lot, huh? How about helping me out, then? As long as you give information about the rare region as well as tell me what were you doing here, I'll give you a quick death."

Glean Gnome suddenly move his hand and a small dagger appeared, and without any hesitation, he stabbed toward the small cylinder belted around his waist.

He knew Jacob would never let him go; he was simply too indifferent and cold. So, he decided to end his life as well as destroy everything he was carrying in person.

Although this cylinder was filled with oxygen, it was made particularly in a way that if someone poked a hole in it, it will blow like a bomb. It was also a safety measure to not fall into the enemy's hands and destroy anything important.

Albeit he was unwilling to die in this place, Jacob had clearly stated he won't let him off and the information Jacob was asking was the top secret of his clan which he can't tell anyone.

So, he decided to use his last resort and blow himself while gravely injuring Jacob in the process and he knew the moment he blew himself his clansman would be alerted and they might be able to avenge him by killing Jacob who would be wounded at that time.

Most importantly, he didn't want to experience torture or humiliation before his death.

However, it was only possible if he could outmatch Jacob's reaction speed!

Jacob had long closed the distance, and he knew this guy won't go down easily. So, the moment he saw him moving, the magnum revolver appeared in his hand again, and he pulled the trigger!

'Bang…'

Glean Gnome's hand was only a few centimeters away from the cylinder suddenly flashed back when the bullet landed right on his wrist, and the dagger also fell!

"Ahh… Bastard, I'll kill you. You can't escape once they know you killed me… haahaha!" He screamed and cursed while hysterically laughing.

He lost all his reason when he looked at his half-blown wrist, and the bullet even pierced deep into his rib cage. Furthermore, he knew he can't be saved anymore.

However, Jacob would not let that happen. He took out his sword, and without any word, he directly stabbed into the bullet wound.

"Ahhhhhh…" the Glean Gnome screamed madly when the blade entered his body.

Jacob's eyes were exempt from any emotions as he finally uncloaked the Glean Gnome's face.

He had a long pointy nose and a small square face with pointy teeth and brown skin. His brown eyes were completely bloodshot as he looked at Jacob with hatred and abhorrence.

He never hated someone so much in his life. He never thought he was going to be killed by someone from an inferior race in the uncommon region, which was supposed to be their playground and chance for his rise.

Jacob suddenly pulled an icy smile. "You look like an asshole, I know. Well now, tell me where is your facility, you don't want your last moments to be worse than death, right?" as he said those worse, he slightly twisted the hilt.

"Uahhhhhh… g-go to... hell… ahahahhhhhh! " His laugh turned shrill when Jacob twisted the blade even more.

"Come on, it'll be over quickly. Why are you making it hard for yourself?" Jacob's voice was filled with indifference as he said those words. He just couldn't feel pity or any remorse for this guy as he watched him scream.

Unknowingly, he started to see everyone else as livestock and as a butcher, he won't feel anything for the livestock.

"F-f… fuck… ahhhhhh…"

Jacob pierce even deeper but he had to admit this guy was really tough, and he knew Jacob can't anything as he will eventually die within a few minutes. He had already lost so much blood.

Jacob's eyes suddenly narrowed when he observed a faint glow under the cloak. It was already dark, so this faint glow won't go unnoticed.

He removed the cloak, and he saw a small device that was showing a red dot and pointed toward a specific location.

Jacob instantly remembered the tracking device and the tracker he got from the tiger bull.

"It seemed I don't need you at all. Let me guess, you wanted to blow yourself because of the tracking marker in your body and also this device which shows you the location of your other associates.

"I'll get the information about the rare region out of them. Let's hope they're as tough as you, or it would be quite boring." Jacob chuckled darkly as he liked the Glean Gnome's shocked expression, filled with despair.

"Bast…"

Before he could curse, Jacob's hand suddenly moved vertically, and the Glean Gnome's entire body was separated in half by the sharp blade!

"Hmph…" Jacob merely sneered and took his 'heart box' and filled it with blood, and then took the Glean Gnome's heart.

But he didn't leave the corpse laying. He buried it close to the water source and clean the scene.

Since there was a rare rank race here, and this guy might be one of their geniuses, he can't leave his traces behind, which might be led to him. He has no idea what kind of strange abilities these races might possess.

That's why, until he got rid of them completely, it was best to remain vigilant. As for what they were doing in the humane kingdom so far away from the rare region, he was soon going to find out.

From the Glean Gnome's corpse, Jacob also got the cylinder and mask, as well as the tracking device. There wasn't any currency or identity.

However, what was most interesting was the black belt around the Glean Gnome's waist. He saw the plain black buckle was now cracked and after he completely pealed the surface; he saw a charred interior with a complex structure.

"That barrier was probably embedded in this buckle, and it was destroyed when I used the Titan Sniper. It's a pity I won't be able to study it. Well, I might get more of these in their hideout." Jacob's lips curled.

He arranged the oxygen cylinder around his wrist like the Glean Gnome, and it was still half full since he didn't know where those smoke traps were. This cylinder will be his lifesaver.

Who knows just how many traps those bastards are hiding around their hideout?

He looked at the pointer in the device and start to move toward it very carefully.

Furthermore, the Glean Gnome tracking device was now on him. He didn't store it inside his pendant since it would connect its connection. He didn't want to alert the enemy by doing it.

If anyone was monitoring these trackers, they would only think that the Glean Gnome was still alive and coming back to their hideout.

Just as Jacob was a mile away from the trap, he saw a blue dot appearing in the device a few meters away.

His eyes contracted. 'Can this device also tell where the traps are hidden?!'

Jacob was elated, he carefully walked right where this blue dot was, and when he carefully removed the soil, something hard appeared, and he carefully clear the soil.

'A landmine?!' Jacob was astonished when he saw the blue landmine.

'So, that's the secret behind their so-called smoke traps is, huh? This mine should be connected with that tree somehow.' Jacob dug around it and finally noticed a string heading in the same way where he came from.

'Since that guy was so confident about this trap and its range is so large, it might come in handy.' Jacob quickly got to work.

Deactivating a landmine was a piece of cake for him since there weren't any anti-touch sensors.

After a few minutes, he finally deactivated it and stored it in his pendant without hesitation. He wanted to disassemble it and see what was the true source of that smoke. But now wasn't the time.

He again started to follow the direction and, on his way, he acquired five more landmines, but they were white, not like the previous blue one.

By following the pointer, Jacob didn't know in which part he was, but he was still in the lion forest, and he had to admit those guys really knew how to hide their tracks. Without this device, even those Glean Gnomes might not find the hideout.

After walking for over an hour, the end of the line finally appeared. Jacob looked at where the point was and saw it was a small muddy puddle surrounded by trees!
