"It seems that the Lava Team is very vigilant. They realized that the six Lava Team members might be exposed after they were captured. I'm afraid they chose to bring forward their plan and withdrew last night."
Kaede Sato's face turned gloomy as he looked at the empty ferry port and the broken ships in front of him. He felt a little uneasy.
Judging from the destroyed ships at the ferry port, the Lava Team must have left for some time. However, they obviously left in a hurry. Most of the ships only destroyed the crucial bottom and engine. They did not blow up the ships.
However, what made Kaede Sato's heart sink was the fact that the entire ferry port was dead silent. He could not help but worry about the safety of the people here. The Lava Team was a criminal organization. There was no guarantee that there were some evil people among them. They must have killed everyone here.
"Come out, Big Mouth Bat. Katie, Big Mouth Bat. Use your ability to see if there are other people nearby. Coyote, Katie, the two of you help look for survivors. Bark immediately if you find anything."
Kaede Sato thought for a moment and immediately released Big Mouth Bat and Katie. He then commanded Coyote and Coyote to do the same.
After receiving Kaede Sato's order, the three elves immediately began to follow. The Big Mouth Bat flew high in the sky, and then released a burst of circular sound waves visible to the naked eye from its mouth. The Katie and the Aardwolf looked at each other, and then each chose a direction to search the dock.
As for Kaede Sato, he released the Swamp Monster and Big Mouth Gull again. He then let the two elves accompany him to search the shipwrecked ships in front of him to see if they could find a barely usable ship.
About five to six minutes later, Big Mouth Bat seemed to have found something. He immediately found Kaede Sato and brought him to an empty house.
When Kaede Sato arrived at the house, Coyote and Katie were already there. Now, they broke into the house and lowered their heads to sniff the floor of the house.
In the end, with the help of the three elves, Kaede Sato found a door that was disguised as a floor under the bed in the master bedroom of the room. The door was tightly shut and was made of a special alloy. The Swamp Monster's punch didn't do anything to it. Instead, the house shook.
Seeing that the secret door was so sturdy, Kaede Sato asked Katie to melt it with fire. However, Katie's high-temperature fire burned the door red, but it still did not show any signs of melting. It had a very high melting point.
Seeing this, Kaede Sato had no choice but to ask Katie and the Swamp Monster to stop. He then tried to find a way to open the secret door in the room. Unfortunately, he had searched the entire bedroom and still did not find any hidden mechanism.
Then, Kaede Sato tried to get the Swamp Monster to dig a hole to bypass the secret door and enter the space below. However, he found that the floor was made of the same alloy metal. It was obvious that there might be a secret base of the Lava Team under the house.
However, since Kaede Sato entered the house and no one came out to trouble him after he searched the entrance of the base for so long, it seemed that the Lava Team members stationed in the base had all retreated with the rest of the team.
"Hmph, you want to stop me with a door? Katie, burn it red again. Big Mouth Gull, when the door is red, use Freezing Ray on it."
Just as Kaede Sato was at his wit's end, an idea flashed in his mind. He remembered that metals would become very fragile and even explode after being heated and cooled rapidly. He immediately asked Katie and the Big Mouth Gull to give the order.
Soon, under the high temperature of the Katydigo's flames, the secret door was quickly burned red again. Then, Kaede Sato commanded the Little Elf to leave the room, and then let the Largemouth Gull use Freezing Ray on the red-hot metal from afar.
As soon as the icy-blue beam released by the Big Mouth Gull hit the red-hot secret door on the ground, a large amount of white gas appeared in an instant. Then, a loud explosion was heard.
Fortunately, Kaede Sato had prepared beforehand. He asked the Swamp Monster to use its defensive skill after the Big Mouth Gull attacked, so they were not in any danger from the sudden explosion.
Soon, the smoke from the explosion disappeared. The entire bedroom was riddled with holes at this time. There was a big pit on the ground, and in the big pit, an underground staircase that could accommodate two people appeared in front of Kaede Sato.
"Damn it, this should be the secret base that the Lava Party built here. I hope the main force of the Lava Party has left, or I'll be a lamb in a tiger's den." Kaede Sato thought as he stood in front of the pit for a long time. He still did not see anyone coming out from below.
Kaede Sato put on his Shapeshifting Human Skin Mask and recalled all the Wisps except for the Big Mouth Gull. He then carefully walked down the stairs into the underground space below.
The underground staircase was not long. It was still about ten meters deep. Kaede Sato stepped to the bottom in no time. Then, an underground passage that could fit five to six people appeared before him.
Just as Kaede Sato had guessed, this was indeed the secret base that the Lava Party built at the ferry port on the shore of Route 122. The Lava Party emblems on the walls proved it.
The secret base was not big, and it seemed to be built temporarily. Other than the entrance, the interior looked like it was built with tofu dregs.
There were a lot of mining lights hanging on the walls. Other than the layer of metal plates on the walls, the ceiling and the ground were still bare rocks. Kaede Sato felt like he had entered a high-level mine.
The secret base of the Lava Party should have been abandoned. Kaede Sato had not seen a single member of the Lava Party after entering the place for so long. However, although the Lava Party had left, they left behind a lot of guards.
Every time Kaede Sato took a few steps on the path, some Little Fist Rocks disguised as rocks would take the opportunity to ambush him. They seemed to have received a death order from the Lava Party before they left. They did not hesitate to use their self-destruct skills to stop Kaede Sato, the intruder, from moving forward.
In the beginning, Kaede Sato almost suffered a small loss. Fortunately, the Big Mouth Gull reacted in time and defended himself. After that, Kaede Sato released the Giant Swamp Gull and Aardwolf.
The Giant Swamp Gull, which had the moisture attribute, was the natural nemesis of these suicidal Wisps. Because of the moisture attribute of the Giant Swamp Gull, the Little Fist Rocks and Rumble Rocks could not use their self-destruct skills. After they were exposed, the Lava Party's Little Fist Rocks and Rumble Rocks all fell to the Frosty Fangs of the Aardwolf.
Along the way, Kaede Sato purposely let the Aardwolf be the main damage dealer. The Aardwolf relied on defeating the Little Fist Rocks and Rumble Rocks alone to gain combat experience very quickly.
