Chapter 419: Reclaiming the water source part 2 (2/2)

”Don't worry, webs are weak against fire, so I can cover our surrounding whenever we feel like retreating,” Dan assured everyone.

”This place really gives me the creeps,” Sele expressed while rubbing both her shoulder then her hairs on her body stood up.

”Nothing to be afraid about. Back in the days, we lived at Twilight Forest, our Elephant Division once stumbled upon a place similar to this. As long as we remain vigilant, there wouldn't be any problem.” Old man Torre shared his experience.

Right in front of everyone, Leo and the others who already knew about this place can't help letting out a soft chuckle.

”Don't worry, I can assure you that we would only be encountering a few Sandstone Spiders. The most dangerous time we were here was only when we stumbled upon two Sandstone Knight Spiders at the same time.” Leo said as he soon after sent a signal to Charlotte to lead the way.

”If you say so,” Ethan replied before taking on the role of guarding their side along with Edward, who followed after 10 meters behind him.

Sebastian and Dan stayed at the back to protect their rear, with Old man Torre providing defense. On the other hand, Ash and Sele protected the others in the middle.

Along the way, just like what Leo had said, they have only encountered a few Sandstone Spiders. This time, they encountered even fewer Sandstone Spiders compared to the last time they were here. One could even say that it was a peaceful trip. It really shows that the amount of Sandstone Spiders had really decreased by a lot for them to actually have such a peaceful journey.

After tens of minutes of walking, Leo and the others finally arrived nearby the entrance of the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.

Looking at their front, they quickly saw that the fight between the Sandstone Spider tribe against the Cave Lizard tribe was still going on. But compared to the last time Leo's group was here, there were fewer fights happening right now.

As for who was winning and who was losing? It was surprisingly the Cave Lizard tribe who was losing while the Sandstone Spider tribe was winning.

It's really surprising to see such a situation taking place because the Sandstone Spiders were considered as the bottom feeders, so for them to win against the Cave Lizards, a Magical Beast considered as a mid-tier predator in the underground areas, it simply shows just how many Sandstone Spiders were in this Sandstone Mother Spider's nest because it's only through numerical advantage that a weak side could have a chance of winning against the strong side.

Looking at the carcasses of Magical Beasts laying on the ground, Leo and others easily confirmed their assumption as they saw more carcasses of Sandstone Spiders compared to Cave Lizards.

Compared to the last time Leo was here, it was already obvious from this sight alone that the Cave Lizards weren't really having that much of trouble having a twenty against one fight, despite the teamwork of the Sandstone Spiders. His guess is that the Cave Lizards should have been thinking that even if they go down, as long as they have brought a lot of Sandstone Spiders with them, it would be worth it.

”How much profit do you think we could get once this is all over?” Leo can't help asking as he turned to look at the others.

”Didn't you say that you only have tens or so remaining Storage Rings left?” Cassandra replied with a smirk on her face, seemingly saying to Leo that even if there is a lot he wouldn't be able to take everything.

”Indeed, so how would you store all of those carcasses of the Sandstone Spiders and Cave Lizards?” Elizabeth added.

”You guys should stop discussing about profit since it's still too early to think about it.” Angel said.

”I agree with Angel,” Veronica nodded her head.

”Yeah...” Ash agreed as well.

”Well, as long as the Sandstone Lord Spider and the Leader of this Cave Lizard tribe don't come out, then this battle would not be considered as over yet,” Charlotte explained.

”I know,” Leo said as he turned his head to look at the front while letting out a helpless smile. As if he doesn't know about that. He was just asking to liven up the mood a bit as he has noticed the intense atmosphere, which in his opinion, is not good. It's okay to be serious, but at the same time, they should also be calm.

Unfortunately, Cassandra and the other women didn't understand his point.

At the side, it was Ethan's group turn to chuckle at Leo, feeling delighted at him getting his joke stepped on by all of his women to the mud.
