With no other choice left, Leo thought of asking Ash and the others in the control room right now for help in finding the chests hidden nearby them. With the Mirror Map Table, there's no doubt that it would be very easy for them to locate the location of the chests.

However, before Leo could even say a single word in his communicator, Elmont quickly stopped him by saying, ”As the Leaders of our respective teams, it would be extremely embarrassing if we also need to rely on cheats. And one more thing, didn't we already agreed earlier that we will be competing in the fourth game using only our own capabilities?”

Truthfully speaking, what Elmont had just said was the actual reason why until now, they still aren't able to find a single chest aside from the bonus chest that they have found before and why they are facing their current trouble right now.

Previously, before the beginning of the fourth game, specifically back during the late stage of the third game, Elmont suddenly proposed to Leo and Osborne that they should not rely on anyone's assistance aside from themselves. The reason for that was exactly because they are the leaders of their respective teams, and as such, they should serve as a good example for all of their subordinates to follow.

At first, Leo was against it as he wanted to choose the easy way than the hard way. After all, it is less troublesome doing that. But thinking deeply that not relying on cheats could actually help him improve his strength and capabilities, he eventually agreed in the end.

On the other hand, Osborne was fine with anything. So, there was no trouble persuading him at all.

However, the end result of such a choice was their unfortunate and unfavorable situation right now.

Since Elmont wants to stick with their agreement, Leo doesn't have a choice but to comply, ”Okay...” Though he didn't forget to add, ”But I can't help but wonder if there isn't really any perks of being one of the hosts of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition before that you can use now so that we can easily find chests,”

”Nope,” Elmont immediately shook his head in response. In the next moment, he turned to look at Osborne and asked, ”How about you? Do you have any ideas?”

”According to the information we have received, the distance between each chest is hundreds of meters apart. The problem is, aside from not knowing the exact distance, we also don't have a single clue which precise direction they are located as well. This means that these chests could basically be located anywhere around us,” Osborne felt like he had a headache.

”Very well said,” Leo nodded his head in agreement with Osborne before looking at Elmont to ask if he, the person who had made their situation even more troublesome, has any ideas that can help them.
