With the help of the Desert Dragonfly, Kaede Sato and Thomas landed 100 meters away from the east of the oasis.
Then, Kaede Sato released the Swamp Monster while Thomas released the Toad King. Then, the two of them slowly walked toward the oasis with the Lesser Elves in their hands.
Kaede Sato could not lose to them in terms of momentum while facing the unfamiliar Rocket Team elites in the oasis. Otherwise, if he was looked down upon by these people, it would inevitably cause trouble in the subsequent ruins exploration.
The Swamp Monster knew what Kaede Sato meant. In fact, when it saw the Armored Scepter Tail Dragon, Hu Di, Bao Fei Long, and Fierce Bite Land Shark in the oasis, its mountain-like momentum quietly rose.
At the same time, it coordinated with its Master-level control of Earth Energy, so that every step it took was stepping on the pulse of the nearby earth.
For a moment, the Swamp Monster seemed to have transformed into a prehistoric giant beast that emitted a terrifying momentum. Every step it took could cause the ground within a 100-meter radius to shake slightly.
When the Swamp Monster raised its momentum to the peak, some of the Lesser Elves in the oasis also showed their might.
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
The three dragon-type quasi-divine beasts — the Scepter-Tail Armored Dragon, the Violent Wyvern, and the Fierce Bite Land Shark — roared loudly one after another. They raised their auras to the peak in an instant, and then each took one side and collided with the Giant Swamp Monster's aura.
"Buzz!!!"
At that moment, Els' Hu Di instantly erupted with a terrifying spiritual power wave, and his aura was raised to the extreme. Then, he joined in the contest of aura with the three dragon-type quasi-divine beasts and the Giant Swamp Beast.
Kaede Sato's Swamp Monster, Butterfly's Armored Scepter Tail Dragon, Autumn Gale's Bao Fei Long, Ells' Hu Di, and Itaki Tomonari's Fierce Bite Land Shark — these five Lesser Elves were not only of the highest level among all the Lesser Elves in the oasis, but their strength was also top-notch.
The five Lesser Elves were experienced in battles and could fight 100 enemies at once. They could feel the threat of death from each other. In other words, they had a chance to defeat each other.
In terms of momentum, none of them was willing to submit to each other. They began to compete with each other, causing the atmosphere in the oasis to become bleak.
As for the other Lesser Elves in the oasis, while the Swamp Monster and the other four Lesser Elves were secretly competing with each other, many Lesser Elves also unleashed their powerful momentum, wanting to join the battle of momentum.
Unfortunately, although most of the Lesser Elves were quite powerful, they could not compare to the strength of the Swamp Monster and the other four Lesser Elves. Soon, they were defeated in the battle of momentum and lowered their prideful heads unwillingly.
In the end, only a few Lesser Elves could persist in the battle of momentum between the five Lesser Elves. However, without exception, these Lesser Elves' eyes were filled with reverence for the five Lesser Elves.
"Those who can be valued by Uncle are indeed powerful. Their growth speed is really fast."
"This ugly guy has become stronger again. Forget it, as long as he doesn't fight with me for the treasure, I won't trouble him."
"Not only has his mental power broken through to the beginner level, but even the strength of the Lesser Elves has increased to such a level. What a headache."
"This guy's Swamp Monster is even more deadly. I must find a chance to get rid of it this morning."
Sakaki Tomonari, Butterfly, Els, and Akikaze watched as the strongest Lesser Elf in their hands was competing with the Swamp Monster's momentum and was not at a disadvantage. They all had grim expressions on their faces, and deep fear appeared in their eyes.
Sakaki Tomonari, Butterfly, Els, and Akikaze were all so afraid of Kaede Sato, who had arrived with the Swamp Monster, that the others in the oasis naturally did not dare to treat Kaede Sato as an ordinary person.
The five thugs from the Rocket who had guaranteed Akikaze Sato earlier were all sweating profusely. They were shocked by their previous arrogance and conceit. They originally thought that Akikaze Sato was just trying to scare them, but they did not expect it to be the truth.
If they really went after Kaede Sato on their own, judging from the fact that the Swamp Monster dared to compete with the four strongest Lesser Elves in the oasis and was not at a disadvantage, they probably would not be able to return.
For a moment, many people had already raised Kaede Sato to the same level as Sakaki Tomonari and the others. Even if he was not as good as them, he was not far behind.
The Swamp Monster and the other four Lesser Elves' momentum did not last for long. After they saw that they could not do anything to each other, they retracted their momentum in unison and glared at each other, but their eyes were filled with respect.
When the brief momentum battle ended, Kaede Sato and Thomas walked into the oasis and met with Mia, who had taken the initiative to approach them.
"Welcome, Lord Sato. It's been a long journey. Please come with me. We've already prepared the campsite for you to spend the night in the oasis."
Mia was not someone who did not know how to adapt to circumstances. After she personally experienced the power of her former ally, Kaede Sato, she was shocked and quickly changed her attitude. In order to complete Sakaki Tomonari's order, she humbled herself and used honorifics when talking to Kaede Sato.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you. But before that, please take me to see Mr. Sakaki Tomonari."
When Kaede Sato heard that, he nodded, slightly surprised. However, he did not choose to directly follow Mia to deal with the campsite that had been prepared for him. Instead, he chose to let her take him to see her current master.
"Erm, okay. I'll lead the way for you."
When Mia, who was about to lead the way, heard Kaede Sato refused to go to the campsite without hesitation, the smile on her face suddenly froze. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and continued to smile at Kaede Sato.
"Little girl, do you really think I'm an idiot? If I go, will I still be able to get off? Haha."
Naturally, Kaede Sato noticed Mia's deflated expression and could not help but chuckle in his heart.
This exploration of the ruins was invited by Sakaki Tomonari. Although it was not personally invited by him, since Kaede Sato was already here, it was better to meet him first according to the rules.
However, Mia actually wanted him to go to the campsite that Sakaki Tomonari had prepared for him. Kaede Sato knew very well what her intentions were.
If he really went there in front of everyone in the oasis, it would almost be the same as announcing that he had already joined Sakaki Tomonari's group, and it would be hard for him to explain himself.
Although Kaede Sato did not stay in the oasis for long, he had already noticed the general situation of the oasis on his way here.
To be precise, there were currently four forces in the oasis: the small group led by Sakaki Tomonari, the small group led by Els, the small group led by Autumn Zephyr, and the loose group of lone wolves like Butterfly.
Among the four forces, the strongest was undoubtedly the small group led by Sakaki Tomonari. The remaining three forces had no chance of fighting back at all.
However, the remaining three forces were afraid that Sakaki Tomonari would be the strongest, so they strangely joined forces. Although they appeared to be united, they were actually divided at heart. The four forces in the oasis formed a fragile balance.
Now, with the arrival of Kaede Sato, this fragile balance could be broken at any time. If he chose to join Sakaki Tomonari's group, the remaining three forces would not stand a chance.
There were two reasons why Kaede Sato did not wish for such a situation to happen.
First, Kaede Sato was now loyal to Sakaki Tomonari, not Sakaki Tomonari. Although Sakaki Tomonari was Sakaki Tomonari's nephew, they were still two different people. If he joined Sakaki Tomonari's group now, it would mean that he had chosen to stand on Sakaki Tomonari's side.
What would Sakaki Tomonari think of him if he knew about this? Kaede Sato did not want to know the answer to this question at all.
Loyalty was a precious virtue, especially to those in power. Loyal subordinates were something that they crazily pursued, but if they discovered that their subordinates were the slightest bit disloyal to them, then the consequences would definitely be very serious.
Kaede Sato knew that Sakaki Tomonari was a good leader, so he knew the consequences of betraying him, and he could not bear the consequences for the time being.
Second, Kaede Sato personally did not want Sakaki Tomonari to be the only leader in the ruins exploration.
Although the ruins exploration was fraught with danger, it also meant that there were huge hidden opportunities. If Sakaki Tomonari was the only leader, it would be much more difficult for him to fish in troubled waters and seize the opportunities.
Kaede Sato was absolutely unwilling to risk his life and work for someone else for free.
