As the night deepened, most of the members of the ruin exploration team began to feel sleepy and went to sleep. Only Kaede Sato and the other trainers were still awake and patrolling the newly built camp.
In the team of 322 people, there were 62 trainers like Kaede Sato who were hired as guards. Most of them only had the strength of an Elite Trainer. Only a small number of them had the strength of a Quasi-Heavenly King. As for a Heavenly King Trainer, there was not a single one.
The 62 people had to take care of the temporary camp formed by the remaining 260 people. The difficulty was not small, and they needed people to take turns patrolling. In fact, there were only about 30 guards who were always in combat mode.
In this way, it was even more difficult for the guards to fully take care of the remaining 260 people.
However, the escort team had been working together for quite some time now, so they were quite familiar with each other. Not to mention, there was Kaede Sato, who had an incredibly high reputation as the captain of the escort team (appointed by Kanzaki).
The 30-odd guards, together with the group of sprites under their command, did a good job of patrolling the camp, making the people in the camp feel safer.
As the captain of the guards, Kaede Sato was sitting cross-legged on top of a large mechanical instrument in the center of the camp, meditating. The moon in the desert was very round tonight, so the effect of the Full Moon Meditation he was practicing was very good.
At this time, his whole body was covered by a layer of telekinesis, and his body was suspended in mid-air, looking very mysterious.
At the same time, Yongira and Gem Starfish were meditating with him. These two Esper Sprites were in the same state as Kaede Sato.
However, whether it was Kaede Sato or the two Esper Sprites, they did not enter a deep state of meditation tonight. They only entered a shallow state of meditation.
Moreover, their psychic power spread out in different ways in the camp. At this time, almost every movement in the camp fell into their eyes. If there was any movement in the camp or nearby, it could not be hidden from them.
"Pikachu ~"
In the middle of the night, Pikachu woke up because he needed to pee. He opened his sleepy eyes and let out a long yawn. Then, he instinctively relied on his electromagnetic levitation ability to fly up and go to a deserted sandy area near the camp to relieve himself.
However, when he was comfortably relieving the slight swelling pain in his lower abdomen, he suddenly heard some strange sounds. His ears, which were originally drooping due to tiredness, suddenly straightened up. Then, he looked at his surroundings strangely.
However, there was no one around except for the sand. Thus, he quickly put away his suspicions, and his ears, which were originally raised high, drooped down again.
"Pickup!"
At this moment, a strange sound came from Pikachu's stomach. His stomach started to ache faintly. This sudden pain instantly made Pikachu's sleepiness disappear by half. He couldn't help but frown and press his hand on his stomach that was making strange sounds.
Perhaps he had eaten too much hot and sour noodles tonight. Moreover, the added ingredients were not very friendly, and this time bomb was triggered.
Pikachu could feel a powerful impact in his body that was about to burst out. Pikachu didn't have time to dig a hole, and simply fought a delightful battle against the foreign objects in his stomach that were about to come out.
Soon, Pikachu, who was drenched in sweat, finally emerged victorious. He felt extremely comfortable after sweating all over, and was about to use the sand to bury his defeated opponent.
But at this moment, a strong killing intent suddenly came from behind, causing Pikachu to shudder involuntarily. He hurriedly leaped forward, dodging the sharp claws that suddenly stretched out from the sand.
In the next second, a rock werewolf burrowed out of the sand. Its head was dripping wet, and there was an unidentified object still emitting heat on its head. The werewolf lunged at the bewildered Pikachu as if it had gone mad.
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
Pikachu was no longer sleepy. How could he not know that the rock werewolf was an enemy when he saw it lunging at him? With a single thought, a powerful electric current erupted from his body and swiftly struck the crazed werewolf in front of him.
In a split second, a blinding flash of lightning tore through the pitch-black night. The crazed rock werewolf was instantly knocked to the ground by Pikachu, and the guards patrolling the campsite were all alerted.
At the same time, the sand around the campsite exploded as Pikachu and the rock werewolf fought. Dozens of adult rock werewolves drilled out of the sand.
For some reason, a large number of rock werewolves had snuck into the vicinity of the campsite by drilling into the sand.
Unfortunately, man proposes but God disposes. Pikachu's combo meal just now had angered one of the rock werewolves. The werewolf's plan was thus exposed, and it had no choice but to launch an attack ahead of schedule.
Dozens of rock werewolves launched an attack at the same time and formed an encirclement. The expressions of the thirty or so guards who were patrolling changed drastically.
It was fortunate that they possessed considerable strength and knew that there would be reinforcements from the camp, which was why they didn't flee in fright from the Rock Werewolves' attack. Instead, they stood back to back and commanded their little sprites to fight the incoming Rock Werewolves.
Soon, everyone in the campsite was roused from their sleep. Some of the guards who had been half-awake quickly joined the battle.
Kamiyo and Sirona also appeared in the campsite at the first moment. The commotion in the campsite was quickly quelled under the duo's pacification. Then, under their command, everyone in the campsite quickly went to support the guards who were fighting the werewolves.
In an instant, the combined efforts of everyone in the campsite halted the attack of the rock werewolves.
"He's here as I thought. Where could the Wolf King be?"
Kaede Sato had already woken up when Pikachu unleashed a hundred thousand volts. He used his telekinesis ability and two of his sprites to take to the skies, and used his spiritual power to rapidly search for the Wolf King's location.
Since it wasn't convenient for Kanzaki and Sirona to take action, Seiji could only be the main character tonight.
While the Wolf King of the rock werewolves was cunning, it wasn't as if he didn't have a way to identify the werewolves. He would definitely blend into the pack, but as the leader, he wouldn't usually take the lead or initiate an attack. Moreover, there would always be several powerful werewolves protecting him at all times.
Therefore, as long as one had a good view and good eyesight, there was a high chance of finding the Wolf King.
On the other hand, Kaede Sato was a psychic who had the ability to scan a large area with his spiritual power. Naturally, he was selected by Kamiyo as the candidate to search for the Wolf King.
Soon, Kaede Sato found several rock werewolves that fit the criteria. After careful selection, he finally locked onto a rock werewolf (daytime form) that was smaller than the average adult rock werewolf.
The reason Kaede Sato chose him was simple. Although he was small and didn't have the highest level, the werewolves around him were of a higher level than him.
Moreover, Kaede Sato noticed that these werewolves were of the highest level in the pack.
