We've found her! " A voice came from behind the man wearing sunglasses. "But something's not right now. There seems to have been a battle not far from where we found her."
The man wearing sunglasses put down the binoculars in his hand, and his expression was solemn. "They've made a move."
"Them?"
"Those gods, just like us, don't want that thing to come out of the city under the ice."
"So … we have allies now? Since those gods are willing to help, does that mean we don't have to do anything tonight? Simon is doomed? "
The players nearby were shocked when they heard this, and a glint of joy flashed in their eyes.
They had lost a lot of manpower to deal with Zhang Heng tonight, and in the end, he still managed to escape. It was not easy for them to set up a trap, but the bait was lost before it could take effect. Although they still had the upper hand in terms of strength, their morale had dropped a lot compared to when they first entered the mountain.
No one knew how many more people would have to die before they could kill Simon. If someone was willing to help them solve this problem, they had no reason not to agree.
However, the man wearing sunglasses did not look as happy as the others in the hunting team. Instead, he looked a little worried.
"What's wrong?" asked the man holding the Fire Kirin who had been with him.
"I don't know," the man in sunglasses paused, then explained, "The previous battle lasted a little longer, and I just saw a man driving a carriage through the air. There were five other people in the carriage, and they left in a hurry. It didn't look like they had just won a big victory."
"But they still won. Since they won the first battle, they can win the second one."
"Maybe." The man wearing sunglasses put away the binoculars in his hand, and only then did he look at the little girl that was brought back by the team. The two were together not long ago, but the man wearing sunglasses knew what happened at that time. When he came to his senses, the little girl had mysteriously disappeared.
The man wearing sunglasses didn't have much hope at first. He just sent out two teams to do their best. As a result, one of the teams that searched in the direction of the cave actually brought the little girl back.
Now, the man wearing sunglasses did not know what to do with the little girl. Since the gods had already made their move, there was nothing left for them to do.
"Let's take care of her first." The man wearing sunglasses hesitated for a moment. "Let the logistics release the remaining drones."
"Okay."
Although the man wearing sunglasses did not deliberately announce it, everyone in the camp soon knew that the gods had made their move. In fact, the sudden darkness of the night sky and the movement of the battle that followed could not be hidden at all. So, the players in the valley had already guessed it. Now, their guesses were confirmed once again.
Hence, everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and they even gathered in groups of twos and threes to celebrate the completion of the mission in advance. Meanwhile, the players on the second front line found the man in the sunglasses.
"Do you guys want to blow up the ice in the pool?" the man wearing sunglasses asked with a frown.
"That's right. Although Simon is gone, Seahorse's body is still in there. After all, he was a member of our guild. We let him down once when he was alive, and we don't want to let him down again after he's dead. At the very least, we should bring his body back," the representative of the second line said. "Anyway, the ice cave has been dug, and the explosives have been bought. All we need to do is add a fuse, and we'll be able to detonate it."
The man in the sunglasses could not find any reason to refute the statement. Strictly speaking, everyone on the scene was responsible for the death of the seahorse, especially him, the commander. Although he did not say anything at the time, not saying anything at the time meant that he had given up on the seahorse.
So, the man wearing sunglasses nodded, and the players on the second line thanked him. After that, they began to prepare for the explosion.
They moved quickly. Five minutes later, a loud explosion came from the bottom of the pool, and the thick layer of ice was blasted apart. The players on the second line worked together, and using a crane, ropes, and iron hooks, they hooked up an ice block that weighed about 300 kilograms from the bottom of the pool.
Seahorse was still struggling in the cylindrical ice block. It was obvious that he wanted to return to the surface of the water, but in the end, he was frozen in the ice block, along with some golden shards. It was hard to believe that these shards came from the famous trident.
A player on the second line who was on good terms with Seahorse lowered his head when he saw the scene. He gripped his rifle tightly, turned around, and walked toward a tent.
However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the leader of the first line. "Where are you going?"
"To find the person who is most responsible for this."
"And then?"
"And then make him pay!" the player who was on good terms with Seahorse said angrily.
"I know you're in a bad mood right now, but are you really going to kill that kid in front of the other guilds? Do you think that guy wearing sunglasses will watch this happen under his nose and do nothing? Do you think that the other small guilds will allow you to act for their own safety? Not to mention, have you thought about the impact it will have on our guild if you do it now? "
"Are you going to forget about it?!"
"Of course not." The leader of the second line looked to his left and right. After confirming that their quarrel did not attract the attention of the players from the other guilds, he waved at another player and said in a low voice, "Do you think I don't want to make that guy pay? But we have to be strategic. We'll wait until the operation is over and the team is disbanded, then we'll make it look like we're robbing an item. That way, no one will stop us, and the reputation of our guild will not be affected …"
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. When he looked up, he saw that the person who patted his shoulder was looking up. He looked very nervous and had already raised the gun in his hand. At the same time, his finger was on the trigger.
The leader followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure on the cliff above the waterfall.
— Simon!
