Chapter 567 Playing Cat and Mouse (2)

?Within a week, Jacob and his crew used eight more teleportation points of the Zodiac Night Federation.

The teleportation points were actually platforms engraved with teleportation formations hidden within the depths of the star ocean. To use them, one needed a corresponding key rune and a special starting sequence only known to the Zodiac Night Federation.

They are hidden fifty miles away from each other and are almost impossible to find without accurate coordinates. Each teleportation cost 1,000 Advanced Unique Rank Magic Gems.

That was supposed to be the well-guarded secret of the Zodiac Night Federation, but it is now in the hands of Jacob. He was taking full advantage of it, and he shortened his eight years' worth of voyage into five.

As for the Zodiac Night Federation's nine ships, they were always a step too slow, and before they could even pin down his location, he had already used another one, and this made them flustered.

The reinforcement from the headquarters would also take some time before they could catch up to Jacob's location. Still, if this continued, they were bound to cross each other paths. Moreover, they can't stop them either not till the reinforcement reaches the target, or it would take many years to catch up to him.

Jacob knew this too well, and he wanted them to stop those teleportation points because this way, they wouldn't be able to send more reinforcement in a short time. That's why he decided to take such a risk to expose himself.

Although it was still dangerous, he didn't want too many pursuers on his tail. Furthermore, he knew they might not give up and continue to tail him all the way to the Unique Plains and blow the matter.

She had been carefully studying the information she was receiving, and she knew just how strange this situation was.

First, their enemy was able to hide the special signal that even a space ring can't at will. Second, the enemy somehow got accurate information on their hidden teleportation points and even the activation sequence.

But all of a sudden, when they were about to prepare for an ambush and close the teleportation channels, their target didn't head for the other teleportation point; instead, they changed the direction entirely.

Moreover, they even begin to receive signals from the missing ship, it was as if their target were deliberately luring them toward them. Elspeth was the head of the intelligence department of the federation, so she was extremely astute and careful.

She knew just how important this mission was, and that's why she was sent with Reginald. So, she didn't want to mess this up.

Reginald's expression also turned grave as he knew Elspeth had a solid point and despite she ranked below him, he didn't dare to underestimate her. Even the Federation Master treats her carefully.

"What do you suggest? If it's a trap, I don't believe they can harm us. After all, according to the information, Captain Free Sword only had a crew of 32 people, and only he is at the tier-8 unique rank aura user among them. With both of us here, we can easily crush him no matter what kind of trick he pulls." Reginald confidently stated.

Elspeth shook her head, "It's not so simple. The last time he was corned, he had used an ancient scroll to teleport somewhere with his entire ship. We can't underestimate him. He's one of the top star pirates of the unique plains for hundreds of years so he might have more trump cards.

"First, we need to make sure he won't be able to teleport away, and the Federation Master has lent me a treasure just for this. But to use it, I need five minutes, and if he realizes, he might run away again.

"Furthermore, this treasure would also block us as well, so we should be careful to avoid collateral damage as much as possible."

Her snake eyes turned sharp as she looked north, "Besides, if I'm not wrong, this direction leads to the territory of the Dead Faction, and all lifeforms are forbidden there!"
