In just a few minutes, Kaede Sato had a clear understanding of how difficult it was to deal with the rock-mane werewolves. Not only were they very patient, but they were also very self-disciplined. Such characteristics were undoubtedly very useful in the army.
The rock-mane werewolves living in the desert were used to living in groups and hunting together in order to survive in the harsh environment. It was not surprising that they developed such characteristics over a long period of hunting together due to environmental factors and long-term cooperative hunting.
But this was also the most effective aspect of the rock-mane werewolves. Their great patience allowed them to catch their prey when they let their guard down and easily kill them. Their strong self-discipline allowed them to attack in an orderly manner, leading their prey into their well-designed trap step by step.
Of course, the Rockmane Werewolves were not without their weaknesses. The Alpha Werewolf was one of them. The Alpha Werewolf's role in the pack was similar to the command center in an army. Once the Alpha Werewolf was destroyed by the enemy, the troops below would be in a state of disunity and their morale would take a huge hit.
However, the Wolf King of the rock-mane werewolves was not easy to deal with. As the Wolf King, he must be the most powerful being in the pack. Otherwise, the wolves under him would not bow down to him.
Kaede Sato was not joking when he told Ruger the solution. It was the best way to solve the current problem. The only problem was that the Wolf King was cunning. It would not be easy to find him.
"Let's go. What are you looking at? You scared that guy away. He won't be following us for a while. Let's go back to the team. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to find him when the sandstorm covers his footprints."
Ruger noticed that Kaede Sato was staring in the direction where the rock-mane werewolf left. He patted Kaede Sato's shoulder in surprise and reminded him.
"Brother Ruger, this pack of wolves might not be the most dangerous."
Hearing this, Kaede Sato gradually retracted his gaze. Then, he turned his head and said to the burly man beside him with a smile that was not a smile.
When Ruger heard Kaede Sato's words, he was confused for a moment. But just as he was about to ask, Kaede Sato had already flown forward on the Sonic Larva for some time.
At this moment, his eyes, which were originally filled with doubt, suddenly turned cold, but quickly returned to normal. He hurriedly followed Kaede Sato.
When the team set off, it was already past one o 'clock. Now that five hours had passed, the sky was gradually darkening, and the team was not far from the location of the ruins. They would arrive after another twenty miles.
However, walking in the desert during the day was incredibly exhausting to begin with. Plus, the sky was gradually darkening. Kanzaki didn't dare to allow his exhausted team to continue walking at night. Kanzaki had his team rest in a nearby desert with no one around.
"Mr. Kamiyo, those little tails are still following us. I think they'll make their move tonight. When that happens, we'll need you and Miss Sirona's help. I'm afraid we won't be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of these wolves who know how to attack together."
While they were eating and resting, Kaede Sato reported to Kamiyo about the rock-mane werewolves and told him about the dangers.
Kamiyo had been traveling extensively in search of the ruins over the years. He was very knowledgeable about the rock-mane werewolves. In fact, he knew what to do even without Kaede Sato's reminder.
"Don't worry, I know the severity of this matter. But that Wolf King is very cunning. He'll disguise himself as an ordinary rock-mane werewolf and blend into the pack of wolves. The ones who howl and give orders are usually his followers. It won't be easy to find him.
Besides, do you think these wild elves are the only ones who have their eyes on our team? Wild elves may be scary, but they're still a far cry from us humans. "
"When the time comes, Sirona and I won't be able to help you much if the wolves really come."
Now that Kaede Sato had made it clear, he also voiced some of his concerns.
Every time Kanzaki explored an ancient ruin, it would cost a significant amount of money. Yet, Kanzaki was able to bear all of it by himself.
What did that mean? Of course, this meant that Kanzaki was incredibly wealthy. But, thinking deeper about it, just where did Kanzaki's wealth come from?
There was no doubt that exploring the ruins was a very profitable activity. Although Kamiyo's identity as a Heavenly King-level trainer and reputation in the archaeological world played a large part in the reason why he was able to gather such a large team, the most important reason was that he was rich.
An ancient ruin that had not been explored would definitely have a lot of benefits. After all, any ancient pottery could easily be sold for a sky-high price at an auction, let alone some of the precious items in the ruins.
For example, Kaede Sato was lucky enough to buy a soup ladle that had a terrifying existence sealed in it in the underground black market of Jinhuang City. It was thanks to this item that Kaede Sato was able to buy so many precious items in the underground black market auction.
Until now, he still clearly remembered that the mysterious soup ladle was placed as one of the finale items in the high-end auction house and was sold for a sky-high price of 1.8 billion Alliance coins.
The ruins that Kamiyo found in the desert this time were obviously the kind that had not been explored, and one could tell at a glance that the origin of the ruins was not simple.
After all, the seal boundary outside the ruins had been maintained from ancient times until now, so it would be strange if the things stored inside were simple. In other words, the benefits that the ruins contained were enormous.
As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts. In addition to the fact that the ruins were ownerless to begin with, it was bound to be coveted by many people.
Therefore, even if Kamiyo had the development document issued by the Alliance, it was almost impossible for him to take it all for himself. Once something extremely precious appeared in the ruins, a huge battle would be inevitable.
It was obvious that Kamiyo was not really worried about the Rockmane Werewolves. He was worried about an attack from an unknown force.
This was because there were many important talents in the exploration team. Although they might not have much combat strength, they would be of great help in the exploration of the ruins. For this reason, he and Sirona had to stay in the exploration team and not leave it easily.
"What should we do? If Mr. Kamiyo and Miss Sirona don't do anything, the team is going to lose a lot of people this time. You have to know that those Rockmane Werewolves are not to be trifled with. "
When Kaede Sato heard Kamiyo's words, he quickly realized the hidden meaning in his words and sighed.
As a matter of fact, as an esper, Kaede Sato's observation skills were far superior to normal people's, he had already noticed that something was wrong with the exploration team. Some of them were behaving very suspiciously.
If Seiji's guess was correct, these people were spies that some unknown faction had planted in the ruin exploration team. If Kanzaki and Sirona did anything rash, these spies would immediately report back to their masters.
When that happened, it would not be just a pack of wolves. To some people, it was their duty to suppress the exploration team, especially the two Heavenly King trainers in the exploration team.
"That's easy. Just stick your ear over here …"
At the end of the day, Kanzaki was someone who had seen a lot of things and had plenty of ideas. He looked around and then smiled mysteriously at Kaede Sato.
