In the end, Kaede Sato agreed to Xing's deal after careful consideration. Once Xing accomplished her goal, she chose not to communicate with Kaede Sato and left.
"It's really strange. What method did she use to leave? This time, I couldn't even detect her when I released my spiritual power. What a terrifying assassin. I don't know if I made the right choice in trading with her."
Kaede Sato saw with his own eyes that Xing was wrapped up by the shadow behind her, and then her whole person strangely integrated into the shadow underground and disappeared. The corner of his eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he thought with great fear in his heart.
After Xing left, there were no other visitors to the campsite. Time passed quickly and the next morning came. A bright red sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon of the desert.
The elite members of the Rocket Squad had already finished feeding their Little Elves. Now, they were gathered together under the command of Sakaki Tomonari, the initiator of the expedition. They were making the final preparations before their departure.
"That's about it. If anyone feels that this expedition is too risky, it's not too late to leave now. No one will cancel your participation."
"It seems that everyone is mentally prepared. I won't be long-winded then. I hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely in this adventure and reap the rewards together."
"Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that if anyone dares to disobey my orders or act without regard for everyone's safety, causing the expedition team to be in danger, I, Sakaki Tomoari, will be the first to punish him!!!"
Sakaki Tominari stood on a temporary earthen platform. First, he introduced the general details of the operation to the people in front of him with a silly smile. Finally, he put on a stern face and stared at someone in the crowd with his sharp eyes and said coldly.
Kaede Sato was standing side by side with Sakaki Tomonari on the platform. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He was like a decoration at the moment.
However, the people below the platform didn't dare to treat him as a decoration. When they saw him standing side by side with Sakaki Tomonari, their faces became very serious.
During Sakaki Tomissei's speech, they all listened attentively, not daring to make any noise that would disturb his speech.
Even Els and Lin Qiu Kaze were the same. Their faces were ugly as they stared at Kaede Sato and Sakaki Tomonari on the high platform. Their eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness.
Although Kaede Sato and Tomoari Sakaki didn't say it out loud, the fact that they were standing side by side showed their attitude to the crowd. They were now in a cooperative relationship, and they would advance and retreat together.
As for the group of Rocket Division members below, these people were able to persevere in this island survival trial. Naturally, they weren't fools. Each and every one of them was very shrewd.
They instantly understood why Kaede Sato and Sakaki Tomissei were standing side by side. They knew that Sakaki Tomissei was in charge of this expedition, and it was time for them to pick a new team.
After the speech, some of the solo players who were still wavering yesterday chose to stand with Sakaki Tomissei's team.
Even Die, who was a heartless person, joined Sakaki Tomissei's team with a smile after she chose to talk to him. Then, she and Kaede Sato stood side by side with Sakaki Tomissei.
In an instant, Sakaki Tomissei's team had three giants gathered. The total number of people in his team was even more than Els and Lin Qiu Kaze's teams combined.
Some of the members who originally belonged to Els and Lin Qiu Kaze's teams were shocked when they saw this. In the end, some of them gritted their teeth and turned to Sakaki Tomissei's team under Els and Lin Qiu Kaze's fiery gaze.
The final time to pick a team was over. At this time, many of the Rocket Division members looked at Els and Lin Qiu Kaze with less respect and more playfulness in their eyes.
"Hahaha ~ ~"
"Thank you for your trust. Everyone here is an elite of the Rocket Division. Your future is limitless. I, Sakaki Tomissei, promise that during the expedition, I will not leave anyone behind. Alright, let's go."
Sakaki Tomissei saw that the situation was settled and immediately became high-spirited. He laughed at Els and Lin Qiu Kaze in front of him, then turned around and laughed at the group of Rocket Division members behind him.
Then, he nodded to one of his confidants behind him.
"Come out, Big Rock Snake x2."
In the next second, the unknown man behind Sakaki Tomissei immediately stepped forward and released two Big Rock Snakes that were much larger than their peers.
Sakaki Tomissei took the lead and walked onto one of the Big Rock Snakes. He, who was as strong as a bear, walked to the front of one of the Big Rock Snakes' heads. He stomped on the ground with one foot and jumped up nearly two meters high. Then, he stood firmly on the head of the Big Rock Snake.
"Everyone, please come up. The ruins are quite far from here, and the road is not easy to walk on. These two big rock snakes know the way and can walk on the quicksand as if they are walking on flat ground. They will smoothly lead us to the Fantasy Ruins."
After Sakaki Tomissei steadied himself, he lightly stepped on the ground, and the Giant Rock Snake under him quickly raised its head. After the Giant Rock Snake stopped, Sakaki Tomissei looked down at the people below him with a smile.
Everyone heard this and those who were originally on Sakaki Tomissei's side chose to climb onto the two Big Rock Snakes without saying anything. Some of the solo players who had just joined and those who were originally on Els and Lin Qiu Kaze's side also followed.
As for the people on Els and Lin Qiu Kaze's side, they all chose to release their own mounts that could move in the desert and followed behind the two Big Rock Snakes that led the way.
The desert mounts that Els and some others chose were all fire-breathing camels. These hot-tempered camels had amazing speed in the desert. They followed behind the two Big Rock Snakes at a steady pace.
Lin Qiu Kaze was very generous. She directly released her Violent Flying Dragon and led her people to follow them in the air.
Kaede Sato did not choose to climb onto the Big Rock Snake. He released the Desert Dragonfly, which was more suitable for moving in the desert than the Big Rock Snakes. Then, he took Thomas with him and set off.
Butterfly also did not choose to climb onto the Big Rock Snake. At this time, she was riding on the Tanabata Blue Bird that had no weather characteristics. Then, she was next to Kaede Sato's Desert Dragonfly and followed in front of the team leisurely.
Sakaki Tomissei was right. The journey to the Fantasy Ruins was very dangerous. Along the way, 80% of the journey would be attacked by moving quicksand and sandstorms. If one did not know the way and did not have a suitable mount to move in the desert, it was very likely that they would get lost in the vast sea of sand.
In addition to the trials of nature, the wild elves in the desert also became an obstacle for the exploration team.
For some reason, there were several large elven groups around the Fantasy Ruins. Once one entered the territory of these groups, they would be attacked crazily.
As a matter of fact, the exploration team that was moving forward was now attacked by a large black-eyed crocodile group.
