Meiron Wilderness,
"May, are you alright?" April asked in a solemn tone. Everyone's back is drenched in cold sweat. It's not a cup of their tea to destroy the whole colony.
The ant monsters continued to drain them like never-ending during the fight. Later it's because of Hank's efforts. They managed to push back the chasing monsters.
"It was my mistake!"
"I was careless," Phill said in a solemn tone. A single misstep had put everyone's life under threat.
"Phill, we knew the risk. Don't think too much about it," April consoled. Everyone knew the risk of using the 2nd entrance.
Paths are filled with danger. Now and then there was an ambush. On top of it, they have entered this strange place.
So everyone took a moment to calm down.
"Hey, where is the newcomer?" May asked all of a sudden. Then everyone realized that the newcomer was missing.
"Don't tell me he got caught," April uttered in surprise.
"It's impossible to go back and rescue him," Hank added.
Phill was disappointed. He is not worried about the newcomer's safety. It's just that they had planned to use him as cannon fodder. But I never expected him to go out like this.
"Forget about him!" Phill said to everyone.
"He is supposed to die anyway. It's just we wasted an opportunity," he added with a sigh.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment before the leader Phill decided to continue following the route. Since one member is down.
They have decided to follow the path carefully.
...
From MC's perspective:
Meanwhile,
After walking, covering a few more distances. I reached the center of the area where everyone was struggling to get here.
"So what's in here?" I asked myself.
Then I found there seemed to be a hanging cliff ahead. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. It's late evening. It would be a matter of time before the place turns dark.
When everyone reaches this place. They won't notice the cliff ahead. Don't tell me Theo was after this.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, I reached the cliff and then flew downward. As I descend the surroundings are going dark.
Hiss!
A snake monster appeared out of nowhere and leaped towards me.
Pfff!
I simply released the coercion in response. The monster turned into a blood mist.
"5th order?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. That green snake was a 5th-order monster. When I continued to descend further.
More and more 5th-order monsters attacked me. But every time their ending was the same.
Tud!
When I touched the ground. It was 50 feet down below the cliff. Then I started walking along this narrow path.
The path is filled with the skeleton of the monsters. Very old skeleton. Whenever my feet touch them. It turned to dust.
After clearing the weeds out, I finally saw what was ahead. A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes. Because the path is no longer linear. It's going down below the ground.
I became hesitant. I guess that Theo's target was the cliff. But I'm not clear yet. It's better to wait for them. After figuring it out, I decided to wait.
Swish!
The next second, I started to fly above. In a blink of an eye, I appeared above the surface.
Seeing that no one was here. I have decided to take a rest in the Gregor Mansion.
Swish!
Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion and started walking to the control room. The mirror shows the outside scene clearly.
Seeing that I sat on the chair.
Outside,
Ronnie's team was attacked by the 4th-order centipede monster. Several of them were bitten by the monster.
Instead of taking care of them. Ronnie started cursing everyone.
There is still some distance to reach the cliff. But his teammates became immobile.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Take care of your sh!t and start moving," Ronnie yelled at them.
His teammates thought. Ronnie is angry because of this dangerous place. At any time danger could befall them.
After consuming some potions, a few of them started to move, leaving behind 2 people. Those 2 were lost as the poison had completely reached their important organs.
It would be a matter of time before their mana core gets corrupted.
Theo who is watching from the distance couldn't help but reveal a smile. If the whole team reaches the cliff. There might be chances for clashes.
Now Ronnie's team was bruised and battered. He didn't think there would be a chance for a conflict.
Surprisingly, he didn't get any call for help from his teammates. Which means everyone is safe and sound. Realizing that he cracked up a wide grin.
On the other hand, a different adventure team reaches the cliff. Their leader was in collusion with Ronnie and Theo.
This adventurer team has complete members. And everyone is unscathed during their trip. Their leader asked them to camp out here.
So that Ronnie and Theo can safely reach this place.
On the other hand, the blue heart adventurer team got close to the place marked on the map.
10 minutes later,
They reached the spot. But before they could get closer. Everyone spotted the campfire. Seeing that Phill alerted everyone by saying," Lay low"
"There seems to be an adventurer team ahead," He said to everyone. At this point, the surroundings gradually become darker. As the time reaches night.
"Is it a hostile team?" April asked.
May and Hank are looking for the wizard activities in the camp.
"Quiet, they could hear us," Phill replied. Right now, everyone is quite nervous. There is a high possibility that the camping team is a hostile group.
Phill texted Theo about their circumstances. If any fight breaks out, only Theo can assist them.
After sending the message, Phill waited for the reply.
Meanwhile,
In the Gregor Mansion, my mouth curves into an arc while looking at the mirror. I didn't expect another team to come here first. But my guess is turning out to be true. Everyone's target is below the cliff.
