The crisp chirping of birds surrounded the camp in the early morning, abruptly halting the sounds of insects from the night before.
Within the entire camp, the soldiers began waking up, steadily engaging in their respective duties, the earliest being the shift change with the patrolling soldiers.
At this mont, the sun had also risen.
Most of the soldiers started their daily morning exercises.
The sounds of clashing armor and synchronized shouts spread throughout the military camp.
Kane also opened his eyes amidst these sounds.
He got up, washed up simply, and then left the tent.
Even when resting, apart from the heavy armor, all other clothing must be properly worn, making him always envious of Kreya’s Origin Skills at such tis.
Upon stepping outside, he already saw Kreya organizing the soldiers, picking out those Heavy Knights whose strength had reached a bottleneck.
The main purpose was to find the altar later for promotion, after all, the group was not far ahead in front of the camp.
Since they were here, of course, they’d take the opportunity to level up.
Moreover, their route was already completed, and the road ahead was blocked by that big river.
They needed to return to the main camp for the next rotation.
Before going back, they would first upgrade the soldiers, which would also help minimize their casualties.
After all, they had achieved victory along the way; reaching a bottleneck wasn’t easy. If out of negligence, they failed to upgrade, and they died in the next battle, it would be too regrettable.
"Kreya, how’s it going? Have you picked out the soldiers for upgrading?" Kane yawned, andering over next to Kreya to ask.
Kreya nodded and said, "They’re all picked out; we can head over."
Upon hearing Kreya’s words, Kane nodded, then reached out to press his Ruby Lapel Pin.
Magic Power transmitted into the ruby, and Kane began transmitting information to Longbei.
"Longbei, we’re ready over here, are you almost there?"
Because they were closer to the altar’s location, and they were all cavalry, they had Longbei’s group head there first.
"Almost there, are you on your way, my good friend?"
"We’re on our way."
Kane said instinctively, though they hadn’t yet started leaving the camp.
"Oh, that’s good."
After hanging up, Kane and Kreya led the chosen soldiers to gallop outside of the camp.
Ahead, Yoyo flew with propellers, guiding their path forward.
Due to their proximity to the altar, it didn’t take long to reach the destination.
From afar, they also saw Longbei’s group andering around that area.
The sound of hoofbeats as Kane’s group approached also startled Longbei’s crew, who waved towards Kane.
Just as Kane stopped beside them, Longbei ran over and asked, "Good brother, was the map wrong? Why can’t we see the kind of altar like last ti?"
Upon hearing Longbei’s question, Kane realized they must be searching for the altar just like last ti.
To this day, Kane still didn’t understand why the altars were mysteriously hidden away.
Was it because the dungeon went all out and hid the altars with so simple puzzles to increase the difficulty?
Or was it due to other reasons?
After all, if it was done by the dungeon’s will, it would an this dungeon had a certain intelligence, not rely acting on vague instinct.
But now that the dungeon was almost devoured, it had shown no actions beyond re instinct.
The information was too lacking to make sense of it, so he set it aside for now.
"That’s because the altar was hidden; it takes so ti to find, but there’s no issue with the map."
Hearing Kane’s explanation, Longbei nodded, unconsciously breathing a sigh of relief. He had thought they had taken the wrong path, making the trip in vain.
Though making the trip in vain was a minor issue, if Liru Lu found out about the wrong path, it would be quite uncomfortable.
She would definitely use this incident to relentlessly tease him; Liru Lu was not one to show rcy concerning such matters.
That was why he breathed a sigh of relief.
After speaking, a silver Compass ford in Kane’s hand, the Skill Stone for this skill had been switched on earlier when they ca.
Seeing the appearance of this compass, Longbei and his group knew what Kane was about to do, for although Kane used it infrequently, it always left a deep impression on them.
It could be said to have been a significant aid every ti it ca out.
Following the pointer, they finally arrived next to a small sandy patch not far away.
As soon as he took a step forward, the pointer imdiately reversed; Kane knew the location was right beneath his feet.
"Look around and see if there’s anything that seems strange."
Kane said, glancing around with Kreya. The two of them had already gained so experience.
Longbei was sowhat puzzled: "Sothing strange?"
But seeing that besides him, everyone else was already surveying the surroundings, he felt embarrassed to inquire further and joined them, albeit unsure what to look for.
What could the strange thing be? Longbei looked up at the sky.
A dark cloud floated very low, passing over his head.
Hey, why did this cloud look like it might fall?
As this thought flashed through Longbei’s mind, alterations began occurring on his body.
Three red hearts appeared above his head, a thin layer of iron Armor surfaced on his body, and a slender iron needle extended upwards from his back.
