The night tonight, even the starry sky and crescent moon are obscured by the blizzard.
Underneath a certain giant rock, a camp made of feathers is built.
Raphael adjusted the glasses on his nose and calculated the date.
"Today is the day of the map collapse again, tomorrow is the day to besiege the Fog Squad. This ti, the Fog Squad is dood."
Upon hearing their captain’s words, the man with a single horn imdiately interrupted him, saying, "Don’t say such inauspicious things in the last sentence."
"What’s so inauspicious about it?" Raphael replied incredulously, "I don’t believe, with so many people besieging him, that he could possibly kill us all instead?"
Listening to their captain, the horned man began to pray.
Not only him, but all the other teammates were acting the sa way, even the red-skinned devil was praying to the sky for sothing.
It seems they have experienced this kind of situation more than once.
Seeing his teammates’ behavior, Raphael’s veins throbbed in anger, and he sulkily retreated into his tent.
On the other side, in the snow of the Gobi, Kane and his team’s wooden cabin was built in a hollow of the cliff.
The surrounding blizzard had already dyed the entire wooden cabin white, turning it into a snow house.
The first-floor living room of the cabin was brightly lit.
Kane and his team were doing their own things in the living room.
Kane sat alone on the floor in the center of the living room, with a miniaturized cha in front of him.
He waved magic power continuously in front of the cha, modifying and constructing it.
During this period, Kane would use any free ti, either in his mind or in reality, to rebuild and construct chas, striving to create the one he could truly call a cha.
The chas Kane used previously were all semi-finished, not quite ready.
Because many parts of those chas were just fitted onto him without any function.
They only acted as protective layers, equivalent to armor worn on him, changed and moved by the control characteristics of Origin Skills through force.
If they were made exactly as they were, they wouldn’t be able to move at all.
Because it simply wasn’t systematic.
Being chas that combine chanics and magic, they could only engage in close combat and fire thermal weapons forcibly imitated from Kane’s past knowledge.
For this reason, Kane even borrowed a gold-level Magic Book from Lily to watch and learn.
The gold-level Magic Book covered knowledge from entry-level to top-tier.
As for Lily, she extracted the knowledge she needed from it and transford it to her desired form, perhaps this is what it ans to be a genius.
Kane had recently beco obsessed because he finally found the thod that could lead him to success; he was close to creating a real cha.
"Sothing is flying over."
izike, who was reading, suddenly looked up and said.
"What is it?" Kane asked.
izike closed his eyes and focused all his energy on the Eye of Magic Power in the sky, carefully observing the small magical reaction within the blizzard.
"It seems to be a bird?" izike’s voice was not very sure.
At this mont, Kreya also put down her book and turned to look outside the window: "Are you talking about that?"
Upon hearing Kreya’s words, everyone turned their heads to the window and looked at the snowstorm outside.
In the snowstorm outside, there seed to be a patch of white mixed within the sa-colored snowflakes, flying towards them.
At this mont, Kane opened Eagle Eye Vision to take a closer look.
It was a small white bird.
As the bird flew closer to them, everyone could see its appearance clearly; it was a paper-folded bird, with very visible folding marks. However, it could be clearly identified as a magic item.
Kreya turned her head to look at Kane.
"Open the window."
Kane knew Kreya was asking him whether it was safe or not. In Kane’s Eagle Eye Vision, the magical reaction of the object was extrely faint; such a small amount of magic power couldn’t cause any harm even if it were an offensive skill.
With the window open, the origami bird flew in, Kreya reached out to catch it.
Unexpectedly, it circled to the side, dodging Kreya’s capture, and continued flying towards Kane.
Now, it was clear to everyone; this bird was coming for Kane.
Looking at the small bird, with slightly wet wings, hovering in front of him, Kane reached out his hand.
The bird gently landed on his hand, and then a little shimr of magic power spread, transforming into a neat piece of white paper.
A blank white sheet started to reveal information.
After all the information was revealed, Kane looked at the words on the paper, and the more he read, the deeper his brows furrowed.
Looking at Kane’s expression, even if everyone didn’t know who sent this letter, they knew that the information on it couldn’t be anything good.
"Is it bad news from soone?" Kreya asked after seeing Kane finish reading the letter.
"Yes," Kane nodded, then handed the white paper with the ssage to Kreya.
As Kreya took it, the information on the paper instantly disappeared, returning to a blank sheet.
Kane looked at this scene in amazent and said, "Wow! I didn’t expect this ssage to be encrypted. It’s quite interesting that it doesn’t display unless I’m holding it."
Kane took the white paper back from Kreya’s hand, and sure enough, when he held it again, the ssage reappeared.
"Alright, it seems only I can explain it to you."
Kane shrugged helplessly.
"This letter was sent by Amis and their team, and the ssage’s information is already from two days ago, indicating that their location is far from us."
"The ssage says there’s a team with glasses, and they have a demon in their squad. They’ve gathered close to 60 explorers, intending to encircle us."
The team with glasses and the demon should be the one that escaped from us last ti. But since they were discovered to have issues, they fled and didn’t hear the following information; all they know is these people hold ill intentions towards us and that we should prepare."
After listening to Kane’s explanation, everyone lowered their heads and began to contemplate.
After thinking for a while, Kreya said, "So this ti, we’re not facing twenty-sothing explorers but an encirclent of over sixty explorers. It seems we’ll have to pay a price."
"Let them co; let’s see if we can’t knock them all down," Longbei patted his chest and said loudly.
"This is the stage." izike’s words were simple but captured everyone’s sentint.
Upon hearing that so many people were planning to ambush them, Kane and his team had no thoughts of avoiding or running away.
Instead, they saw this group as a trial, a stage.
Upon hearing izike’s words, Kane nodded, "Yes, this is the stage we wanted, isn’t it? If we win this battle beautifully and take them all down, I believe we’ll definitely make a na for ourselves."
"This ssage is already two days old, and our location is displayed every day; why haven’t they co to ambush us yet?" Kreya pondered aloud.
Upon hearing Kreya’s question, Kane thought for a mont and replied, "Either they aren’t ready yet, or they fear we’ll discover their ambush and escape, making it impossible for them to catch us."
"Rember, the team of the initiators had faced us before and knew much of our battle intelligence."
"Hence," Kreya squinted slightly, "They want to find a place to ambush us, forcing us not to escape."
"Then when and where will they ambush us?"
The day the safe area appears is surely the day," Longbei said excitedly, as if he had thought of sothing.
Subsequently, he quickly shared his thoughts, "That’s the only day we’ll move. Last ti, when we headed towards the safe area, wasn’t it marked in the sky?
They must have seen it, and since we’ve been staying here without moving these days, they surely think that once the safe area appears tomorrow, we’ll head there, and then they can watch the map and ambush us along our route."
"Amazing!" Kane gave a thumbs up to Longbei, not hesitating to praise him.
Then he said, "Longbei’s idea is indeed the most possible one, but they’re dreaming too well."
Kreya’s gaze was sharp, staring at the blizzard outside as she said calmly, "Our stage, the position of the performance, must be chosen by us."
Listening to Kreya’s words, Kane and the others nodded in agreent, then Kane called Yuu over and let him project the map onto the table.
Kane rubbed his chin, staring back and forth at the map.
Then he pointed to a place with his finger and said.
"Tomorrow, no matter where the safe area is, we’ll go to this location. This location suits us perfectly."
Everyone looked towards the direction Kane pointed; it was a large plain, with no slightly taller woods surrounding it, providing a clear view.
This place was indeed perfect for their skills.
Then Kane exposed his wrist with an inscription of the Holy Grail Enhancent they obtained when they occupied a landmark before.
"Everyone, don’t forget this thing. It’s our trump card."
Everyone exposed the Holy Grail on their wrists, sharing a knowing smile, having already planned their actions for tomorrow.
Seeing everyone’s smiles, Kane said, "Co on, let’s plan how to coordinate our first move tomorrow."
Kane and his team of five then gathered around the table to discuss tactics for tomorrow based on the terrain.
A short while later.
"Boom!"
A loud noise ca from outside as the Molten Giant Snake began moving, roaming along the previously marked collapsed area, recklessly wielding its power and fury.
The vibrations and sounds it caused spread throughout the entire dungeon.
Kane and his team stood on the cliff, enjoying this spectacular scene.
The treehouse they lived in before had also been scattered by Kane.
Once the Molten Giant Snake finished destroying all the collapsed areas and stopped its actions.
Kane reconstructed a vehicle, carrying Kreya and the others towards the area they had just chosen, preparing to surprise those people when their location got exposed tomorrow.
