Chapter 489 - Deflower (2/2)

“It’s better than everyone dying of thirst, and if one group finds a water source, they might be able to inform us,” Solisha said bluntly.

But at this moment, a big fierce girl in a white robe came running over. She said rather excitedly, “Chairman, we’ve found a water source, a lake, hidden in the woods about two kilometers to the east. It’s not big, but in the picture that black hawk sent back, the water is quite clear, and there are fish swimming around, so it should be drinkable water.”

“Great.” Solisa waved her hand. “Everyone move, the scouting team will go over first, eliminate any danger, and surround that lake. The water is ours, the fish is also ours, the others can’t take it. If any other players come near, kill them on sight, don’t need to think too much about it.”

At the command, fifty girls with thousands of summons surged eastward like a tidal wave.

They were getting increasingly thirsty and were happy beyond measure to hear that there was a water source.

On Roland’s side, he was hovering in midair, peering down at the large ruins below and looking slightly happy.

They were half-collapsed ancient elven stone buildings overgrown with weeds.

There were also vague shadows of something moving about below.

Roland slowly descended and found that all that was active below were skeletons.

Looking at their levels, all of them were around level three to level five, and there were thirty-two of them as far as he could see.

I wonder how many items are inside the building.

According to the way the event was set up, the players started out with nothing, and everything had to be acquired, whether it was food or equipment. And this ruin obviously hadn’t been explored by anyone yet, so if he wanted to acquire equipment, he had to do it quickly.

After flying over the ruins and memorizing all the terrain nearby, he then found a small lake not far.

There were also fish there.

It was an excellent resting spot, and an excellent hunting ground as well.

After considering for a moment, Roland activated Teleportation and returned to the previously marked place.

Then he noticed that Betta and the others had already returned.

When they saw Roland suddenly appear, they all sighed in relief.

All of them shared what they had gathered, whether it was information or food.

Betta’s harvest was the most plentiful. He had brought back an extremely large amount of ingredients all by himself; even Schuck’s Backpack had been stuffed with a lot of fat worms as well as wild berries.

Roland told them about the ruins he had seen.

Then everyone’s eyes lit up.

The equipment provided by the event was definitely better than the stone hammer and stone pike that Roland had created—there was no need to question that.

And better equipment was what would give them a compet.i.tive edge against other players over the next few days.

“Let’s go over there right now.” Li Lin added anxiously, “If we go too late, someone else might take it all.”

“There’s no rush, we’re thirsty and hungry now, so let’s fill our stomachs first.” Roland took out the insect oil and a large jar of water and gave it to Betta. “I’ll leave the cooking to you. Everyone, drink the water if you’re thirsty, it’s clean.”

They were indeed a little thirsty, so they took the stone bowl and scooped it up and poured it into their mouths.

After a while, all six of them drank their fill of water. Li Lin burped. “This water is so sweet, where did you get it?”

“Brother Roland invented the water-making spell.” Betta explained, “It’s something that only a small number of Mages are aware of, and the average player doesn’t know about it because it’s not a spell with immense lethality, so very few people are interested in it, including many player Mages.”

Many of them looked at Roland with strange expressions.

Putting aside the invention of spells with destructive power, but actually inventing this… convenient little spell, it was truly prescient. Roland then created a stone pot and a stone spatula with a Mud to Rock trans.m.u.tation.

Betta happily gathered some firewood and used this stone pot and spatula immediately, gathering his ingredients and cooking them with insect oil.

Shortly after, the aroma began to spread.

Betta was a really good cook, and with the insect oil, he was able to make a big pile of vegetables and worms that were quite tasty. Soon everyone was full, and there were even two extra servings of freshly baked greens and fried worms put in their Backpacks.

For a short time, F6 didn’t need to worry about food.

“Let’s go.” Roland looked at the sky; the sun was already off to the west. “We need to find a way to get there before dark and take all precautions in case someone comes over while we’re halfway through the ruins to reap our rewards and kill us.”

As the inept advisor, Roland’s words held quite some weight.

The F6 members immediately began to move.

Roland released three magic spiders to scout the road ahead.

After walking quickly for more than half an hour, pa.s.sing through a small forest, about ten minutes away from the ruins, Roland suddenly stopped. He gestured to hide, and the F6 members, who were already extremely well-coordinated, immediately found obstacles to hide behind.

In a short while, a large, fully white Sirius appeared in front of them.

This Sirius also stopped, and it began to sniff around the surroundings, sensing a strange smell in the air.

But just at this moment, a high arching arrow suddenly appeared above its head and dropped down, directly piercing its skull and pinning it to the ground.

High arching guided arrows, one of the Forest Eanger’s best skills.

The Sirius let out a miserable cry and turned into specs of light and disappeared.

Roland gestured and the F6 members immediately retreated from the area.

After retreating a few hundred meters away, Roland said to the others, “A Sirius scoutinga summons-obviously means that Phoenix Guild’s Summoner girls should be up ahead.”

“What should we do? Bypa.s.s them and give them the ruins?” Li Lin was upset. “This kind of team is not easy to fight. There are too many summoned creatures, and we don’t have weapons.”

Roland smiled. “A team of fifty is not easy to lead. They won’t find food that easily, and if they do, it’s definitely not enough. Why don’t we create some trouble for them and make it less easy for them to gather food—at least starve some of them to death to take the burden off of us later in battle.”

The F6 members all smiled wickedly at the same time.
