Chapter 1672 1672: Part 2: Hill top base
From MC’s Perspective
After killing the old man, I went to the second person. I appeared in front of him. The level-9 Wizard was a middle-aged man. He was stunned.
Before he could open his mouth, I landed a blow to his chest. His internal organs shattered the next second. The middle-aged man spat blood before losing his breath.
Then I moved to the third and fourth persons. Both of them received blows to their bodies. Their mana cores and internal organs were shattered.
Then, both of them died, one after another. I had killed four people within minutes. It didn’t even take me more than half a minute.
I resumed my journey to the hilltop. I doubted there would be another guard point ahead in the same direction.
Time went by.
I got closer to the hilltop base half an hour later. If I wanted to, I could have reached it faster, but I didn’t want to make any noise.
About 10 minutes later,
Then I started hearing voices. The people present there were having a conversation. Listening closely, I heard some familiar words.
It made me get closer to the camp. I moved towards the green camp and spotted many tents arranged in a circular manner.
There was a huge tent in the middle of the camp. The voice was coming from inside. The people inside were discussing something. Their mention of the “stone chamber passage” drew my attention.
If I wasn’t wrong, they were discussing the same place we had discovered earlier. My eyes flashed with curiosity.
I had a strong desire to enter the huge white tent. I used the system to check if anyone was outside the white camp.
The system results said that there was no one outside. I could get to the camp entrance. After getting confirmation from the system, I walked up to the entrance.
I could see people inside. No one could sense me, but I could hear their conversations clearly. Before anyone showed up, I entered the Gregor Mansion.
I rushed to the control room and appeared in front of the control mirror. The outside door of the white camp was visible on the screen.
Then, I heard their conversation as well.
“We have only found empty rooms and rooms filled with clay figurines. We don’t know what the clay figurines say.”
“So we need to dig up more and explore things further. The other camps are doing the same. We need to find something before anyone else can discover new things.”
Those conversations reached my ears. I had already told my group that I would return by evening, but things here had attracted my attention.
I could only take the risk to explore it during the night. So, I decided to go back and inform the three of them first.
I confirmed the safety outside with the system, then appeared outside. I looked at the white camp in front of me before leaving the place.
Not long after, someone walked out of the tent and started looking around the surroundings. He felt that someone was peeping at them from outside.
But no one was there, so he was confused. His instincts had never failed him, but today he thought he missed the chance.
He realized someone powerful indeed had visited earlier but had left the place for some reason. He didn’t dare to imagine the strength of that person.
Then he walked back into the tent and joined the conversation with the others.
One hour later,
I came back to the entangled trees. Then I quickly reached the stone passage. After opening the door, I entered.
The three of them inside heard the sound. They came to look and found their master was here. They were confused.
I sat on a nearby rock and took a deep breath. I looked at them and said, “I came across another ruin. It had the same clay figurines. The people there were confused and wanted to dig up more.”
Gasp!
Hank and the others exclaimed in surprise. Otto and Patrick were veterans, yet even they were shocked to hear that their master came back alone.
“Master, what about your safety?” Hank asked.
“You guys didn’t have to worry about my safety. I can protect myself,” I told them.
They looked confused, but they didn’t know about my trump card. Patrick and Otto were sure. But Hank was doubtful.
“Master, did you find any ambushes on the way?” Patrick asked.
“I did come across one. An amateur team made up of level-9 Wizards. It was easy to deal with them,” I said further.
Then I told about my plan.
Gasp!
Hearing that, there was an exclamation again. They didn’t expect their master to visit another base camp silently.
“So I have returned here to inform you guys. I’m going to find a way to explore that ruin,” I said to them.
Hank, Otto, and Patrick were together and nodded their heads.
“Good. What about this place?”
“Did you come across other clay figurines?” I asked them.
“We were getting only empty rooms. It appeared the people who lived there had vacated the place. That’s why we were not able to find anything,” Patrick said.
Hearing that, I felt slight disappointment, but I didn’t give up. I left the place the next second and started going towards the hilltop camp.
On the way, I came across several black figures ahead. The next second, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
I rushed to the control room to find out their identity.
The black figures came to the spot and started searching the surroundings. The Black figures felt the tension.
A member told them that someone spied on them. So they were all searching around the hill top.
In front of the control mirror, I could hear their voices calling for additional support.
“What’s going on?” I asked myself.
Shortly afterwards,
The Black figures left the place. I appeared outside and resumed the journey. I reached the hill top base quickly and came in front of the white tent.
Then the conversation of their higher-ups sounded from inside.
I made a decision. I decided to hide inside the Gregor Mansion again. I will enter the camp at midnight.
