Chapter 492 Trouble Deviation

The girls searched the area for nearly two hours but didn’t find any clues. In the end, they had to give up searching the place and go back to meet up with Solisa and the others.

However, in the process of retreating, Roland got a dozen more summons killed through gaps in defense.

From a purely statistical point of view, killing these summons did not affect the summoner. As long as they still had magic power, they could summon again at any time.

But from the psychological perspective of the contest, it could put a certain amount of pressure on the Summoners.

After all, having an attacker messing around right under their noses and never being able to find them would definitely make them feel uncomfortable.

Besides, one of their companions had already been a.s.sa.s.sinated somehow, but they hadn’t even found the enemy’s shadow. This was a kind of pressure in itself.

When the two scouting teams returned to the lake, Solisa thought for a moment and said, “Anyway, professions like a.s.sa.s.sins and Thieves have a definite advantage at night, and there may be some special skills we haven’t learned about, but from the fact that he only a.s.sa.s.sinated one person, there are prerequisites to activate this ability. Therefore, we’ll stay here until daylight before moving on

– a.s.sa.s.sins will be more or less affected during the day. Also, catch more fish and scoop more into your Backpacks, this might be our food for nine days.”

This was also a word of caution.

Solisa was expressionless, but on the inside, she sighed.

It was only the first day, hundreds of thousands of players were still scattered over this huge map, and with few battles occurring, they were already starting to suffer losses.

And it seemed like they couldn’t keep up with the problems regarding survival. Those fish in the small lake, even including all the small shrimp, would at most sustain the entire group of fifty people… now forty-nine people for two days.

After all, it was only a shallow lake. There couldn’t possibly be much fish.

And in two days?

How would they find food?

Find another lake?

How were they going to deal with the people who eyed and followed them around?

Solisa felt a headache at the thought of this.

Since entering the game, the idea of a Summoners’ legion overpowering everything seemed further and further away from their reality. She noticed that while she could manage a guild, she might not be able to lead it to victory in battle.

How to locate the enemy, how to ensure logistics, how to determine the marching route, these were all things she had no clue of and everything she did felt aimless.

To put it simply, she didn’t have talent as a general.

She was more suited for internal affairs. At this time, Roland and the others started to move away from the Phoenix Guild and managed to meet up with Schuck and Raffel. “Next, let’s go to the ruins and explore,” Roland said indifferently as he chewed the tasty wild herbs. “The Phoenix Guild won’t dare to search tonight, they are already a bit uneasy, so this is our chance.” Everyone nodded, agreeing with Roland’s judgment.

Besides, even if they didn’t agree, at this point, taking action was better than no action at all.

Someone had to suggest a course of action. Schuck and Raffel harvested some wild herbs and a few small animals.

For the seven of them, this amount could only fill the gaps between their teeth, but it was better than nothing.

They rested for a while and then traveled for half an hour before arriving in front of the ruins Roland had found.

It was a small elven-style town, and it didn’t cover a large area, the size of a normal community.

It was full of undead creatures, none of which were strong.

They had Roland’s various enhancement spells on them and Schuck, a Saint Samurai.

Saint Samurai countered undead creatures to an outrageous extent.

With the Holy Ring of Light on, the weak undead creatures within a twenty-meter radius of him were directly turned into bone powder by an inexplicable appearance of golden light.

The stronger ones were just suppressed by the golden light and then were smashed into bone fragments by Schuck using the round stone hammer enchanted with golden holy power.

Not to mention the help of Roland and the others.

It took less than forty minutes to clear all the undead creatures in the ruins, and then Husseret, a Thief who specialized in Pilfer and Secret Door Discovery, played a big role.

It took nearly four hours, and they took everything of value from the ruins.

By the time it was dawn, Roland and the others left the ruins satisfied and found a safe place to begin inventorying their weapons.

The iron weapons of the elves were a bit rusty, but they were still usable after some sharpening.

Several sets of magic leather armor were found, which were perfectly preserved because of the magic.

Then there was a large amount of… magic materials.
