The arrival of an unknown group imdiately alerted the fighters, they stopped and looked in the direction of the gate where Grey and his friends were standing. And their hearts sank, the reason for that was because they realized of the three people who just arrived, one of them was in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane.
The four who were fighting against each other were all in the Third stage, and after going through the grueso fight, they weren't at their peaks, and since they didn't even trust each other enough to team up, there was no way these pair of two Third stage Origin Plane Elentalists could fight against Grey and his friends, even if they tead up with the other pair, they still didn't have a chance.
'Void, anything good?' Grey transmitted his voice over to Void.
If what these people were fighting for was sothing that could catch Void's attention, then he wouldn't mind taking it from them. At least that way they would stop killing each other.
'No, I've already checked, it's not good enough.' replied Void.
After hearing Void's reply, Grey retracted his gaze from the tensed fighters and turned to his friends, "Let's go, there's nothing good here."
Klaus and Reynolds nodded, they weren't too attracted to the treasures anyway. After getting the Great Earth Essence Liquid, they felt the reason for coming here had been obtained. Not just that, but they knew even if there was another treasure at the sa level as the Great Earth Essence Liquid, it wouldn't be acquired so easily.
The four who were fighting were taken aback when they saw the trio leave without even heading into the building, after their initial shock, they heaved a sigh of relief. Now, all they had to do was get rid of their opponents and they would be able to obtain the treasure.

Outside the compound.
"Hmm, where are we headed now?" Grey asked while looking around.
Searching for soone in this big place was almost impossible, there was no way to contact each other so how would they know where they were.
"Huh!" They all exclaid simultaneously.
Seeing the strange reactions from everyone, they looked at each other before curiously checking their bags and the ring for the cause of the heat.
Klaus and Reynolds quickly brought out a wooden two inches object that was glowing resplendently and also slightly heating up their hands. They unconsciously let go, and to their greatest surprise, it didn't fall to the ground as expected, rather, it started floating, before heading in a specific direction.
"What the hell! What is that? And how did we end up with one each?" Klaus was left dumbstruck by the strange object.
Grey had also taken out the sa wooden object from his storage ring, and couldn't help but look at it strangely.
'Where did I obtain this?' He asked himself.
It took only a few seconds and having to see Klaus and Reynolds' objects float in the air before he recognized them.
"Haha, they're the wooden objects I took from that Darkness Elentalist. Follow it, it will lead us to Alice." Grey said excitedly.
He got a lot of the wooden objects from Quinn's bag, and he was lucky enough to know how it was used from one of Quinn's companions, so when he and his friends were about to head their separate ways, he gave each of them one and told them how to use it. That way if any of them was in danger, they could call for assistance, well, that was on the premise that the person was close by.
Klaus and Reynolds had forgotten about the item, but hearing that it would lead them to Alice, they imdiately followed it. Even Grey forgot he had sothing like this. Although the other ones in his ring were also heating up, it wasn't too bad.
The trio chased after the floating glowing wooden object, and they unsurprisingly attracted so attention from the few people who saw them chasing after a floating object. These people didn't know what it was, and seeing that Grey and his friends were following behind it, they felt it was leading them to so kind of treasure, or it was the treasure itself.
"Hmph! We need to get rid of these pests." Klaus snorted coldly, not entertaining the idea that they were being followed.
Presently, there were three people following behind them, and two were in the Fourth stage, while the last one was surprisingly in the Fifth stage. But it was of no concern to Klaus, he was confident in their abilities, well, in Grey's strength and Reynolds' Elental Warrior.
He also had no problems with fighting against soone in the Fourth stage, they are only a few people in the Fourth stage that could defeat him, so he was still quite confident in himself. Although, the main basis of his confidence when he made that statent was Grey and Reynolds.
"Hmm, you're right. But we can't afford to waste ti, so just let them be, for now." Grey said, after taking a glance at their followers.
They didn't know the situation of Alice, so they couldn't afford to waste ti dealing with these people. Even if they could defeat them, it would still take so ti. So, Grey decided it was best to head over to where Alice was located, if they find out she's not in any danger, then they'll attend to the people following them, they might be able to even resolve the matter without needing to fight.
_____
Deep in a cave in the southern part of the trial land. About six kiloters away from Grey and his friends.
Alice could be seen hiding behind a rock, panting heavily with her hand bleeding.
"Co out, there's no use in hiding, and you can't leave this place since there's only one exit. I already promised I won't kill you, I only want to teach you so things." A voice could be heard accompanied by laughter.
So distance away from where Alice was hiding, three young n could be seen smiling in a l.e.w.d manner. The one in the middle had a slightly average-looking face with a black mark just above his left eye, and the other two were identical twins who were relatively better looking than the young man in the middle.
'Hopefully, the boys aren't too far from here.' Alice prayed in her heart.
She was unfortunate to encounter these young n so hours back, and about two weeks ago, she saw the one with a black mark, and he made advances towards her which she rejected. Although she currently didn't have anyone in mind, it didn't an she'll be with soone she didn't even know. Not just that, but she didn't like the way he was staring at her.
At that ti, the young man was alone, so after being rejected by Alice, he left. Alice didn't try to attack him, after all, she couldn't just attack soone because he liked her, and the young man didn't do anything else, after being rejected, he left.
To her surprise, when she encountered him so hours ago, he once again tried making advances towards her. And just like the last ti, she rejected him, but this ti, after he was rejected, he beca forceful.
All three young n were in the Third stage, just like Alice, so it was difficult for her to deal with them. If they were only two, then she was confident in being able to escape unscathed, but under the assault of three, her chances were quite slim.
The only reason she managed to hide was because of the speed the lightning elent brings, yet, it was not enough to completely escape because she was injured during the first clash, hence greatly diminishing her speed.
"Co on, it's not like I'm going to be the only one who will enjoy it." The young man with the black man said again, and the twins by his side burst into laughter once again.
This wasn't their first ti doing sothing like this, and it was unknown how many young ladies had fallen victim to their l.e.w.d nature in and outside of the trial land. Now, they've set their sights on Alice.
So she quickly shattered it, with the hope that the rest of the squad would co to her aid. She also knew that it would take them a while before getting here, that was why she was stalling as much as she could.
Since these three were already set on ensuring she could escape, she could only pray, and wait for the rest of the squad.
'Hopefully, they get here soon.'
