SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

Han leaned back, an encouraging grin on his face. "Come on, everyone, don't give up hope. It's only been a few days, and from what I've heard, there have been others who have already taken the first bite.

That's why we haven't found anyone yet. But they can't hide forever; they'll need to come out for food eventually.

And don't forget, we're going to make a fortune from this, especially with the Fox Clan. They have some of the rarest breeds. If we can capture a few of the young ones, we'll be set for life."

One of his men, Lin, stood nearby, tightening the ropes that held down their equipment. He glanced at Han, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. "You really think it'll be that easy? I heard the Xu family doesn't like this, and they plan to put an end to it.

They've already posted missions to hunt down poachers like us."

Han scoffed. "The Xu family? What are they going to do? Send their army after a few poachers? We'll be in and out before they even know we were there."

Lin shrugged, still uneasy. "I don't know, boss. This feels different. The adventurers that have been hired aren't just regular adventurers. They're cultivators with serious skills. We might be walking into a trap."

Han waved him off, his confidence unshaken. "We've been doing this for years, Lin. Trust me, we know how to avoid trouble. Besides, we've got the best intel. The Monster Race doesn't even know we're coming."

But Han's confidence was misplaced.

Far behind them, a group of adventurers had already been tracking Han's Spirit Boat for days. The Xu family's mission to hunt down the poachers had attracted some of the most skilled hunters and trackers from across the Central and Western Continents.

These adventurers, motivated by both the generous reward and their own sense of justice, had been quietly closing in on Han and his crew.

At the same time, on the ground below, groups of adventurers spread out across the Southern Continent, scouring the dense jungles and valleys for signs of poachers.

They moved in small, concentrated teams, each group following leads gathered by the Xu family's intelligence network, which helped them a lot, as without this, they would have been lost.

One such team, led by an experienced adventurer named Lei, had been tracking poacher activity near a remote mountain range.

They had found traces of campsites, signs of movement, and occasionally discarded equipment.

It was clear that the poachers had been there for a while, as the discarded items were becoming fewer and fewer.

As for why the poachers weren't concerned about their trash? It was mainly because they didn't believe anyone would come for them.

Poachers were usually elusive, and people didn't have much information about their whereabouts.

But with the help of the Xu family, the adventurers knew everything about the poachers they were going to face, which made their task much easier.

"Look at this," one of the adventurers said, crouching down to examine the remains of a fire pit. "They've been here recently. We're getting close."

The captain of the group nodded, his eyes scanning the surrounding jungle. "Keep your guard up. These poachers won't go down without a fight. But we've got the element of surprise on our side."

The adventurers moved with practiced efficiency, their senses heightened as they followed the trail.

They knew the poachers were dangerous, but they also knew they had the backing of the Xu family. Failure wasn't an option.

Back in the sky, Han's group was beginning to feel the pressure. The Spirit Boat, once gliding smoothly through the air, was now moving at a slower pace as they approached the center of the Southern Continent. T

he air was thick as everyone remained on guard, and even Han was starting to feel uneasy.

"Something's not right," Lin muttered, glancing over the side of the boat. "We should've seen some sign of the Monster Clans by now."

Han gritted his teeth, his earlier confidence fading. "Keep your eyes open. They could be hiding."

But as the boat descended toward the forested terrain of the Southern Continent, it wasn't the Monster Race they had to fear—it was the adventurers coming for them, and their time was running out.

Without warning, a group of adventurers sprang from the trees below, launching a coordinated attack on the Spirit Boat.

Arrows and spells flew through the air, striking the boat's defensive formations with precision.

"Ambush!" Han shouted, scrambling to his feet as the boat shook under the assault. His crew rushed to defend the ship, but it was clear they were outmatched.

The adventurers, well-prepared and highly skilled, moved with deadly precision. Within minutes, they had disabled the Spirit Boat's defenses, forcing it to the ground.

Han and his crew barely had time to react before they were surrounded.

"You're done, Han," the captain said, stepping forward as his team closed in on the poachers. "The Xu family doesn't take kindly to poachers. You should've turned back while you had the chance."

Han's eyes darted around, searching for a way out, but there was none. His crew, once so confident, now stood frozen with fear.

"We can talk about this," Han stammered, raising his hands in surrender. "There's no need for violence."

The captain shook his head. "It's too late for that. You're coming with us."

And just like that, Han's operation was over. Similar events took place all over the Southern Continent's outer areas, some even close to the inner regions.

There were also some in the Western Continent, but those were fewer.

Then, there were a few poachers who managed to hide for a while, but they were eventually found. These were the ones who didn't go to the Southern Continent at the same time as the others.

That's why they were able to live a bit longer, but due to the heavy investment from the Xu family, even these hiders couldn't stay hidden for long.
