Under the cover of the snowstorm, Elmont and Osborne secretly hide from the two Elves slowly approaching in their direction. On the other hand, Leo follows from behind the two while constantly updating Elmont and Osborne of their location through the communicator.

”One hundred meters...” Leo informed.

As everything was somewhat dark due to the ongoing snowstorm, it became difficult for the two Elves to notice that Leo is following behind them.

Even though the two Elves are currently carrying torches to give light to their surroundings, it could still only provide them with ten or so square meters of good vision. Meaning to say, as long as Leo doesn't step within the area of coverage of the torches, he would be undoubtedly safe and won't get noticed that easily by them.

In addition to that, it also became difficult to spot Leo's figure due to him cleverly using the trees, bushes, and stones covered with a certain height of snow to hide his figure. To make it even better, because of the thick snow on the ground, the sound of his footsteps is almost close to nothing.

”Fifty meters...” Leo informed once again.

Time continues to pass, and not long after, the two Elves are finally within the range of Elmont and Osborne's ambush.

Seeing this, Leo quickly positioned himself as well behind the two Elves in order for him to assist Elmont and Osborne.

All of a sudden, the two Elves stopped in their footsteps as they noticed something in front of them.

”Is that a chest?!” An Elf with a thin body muttered as his finger pointed towards a chest hidden under a thick cover of snow.

”You're not mistaken. That is indeed a chest!” The muscular Elf behind the thin Elf nodded his head in delight.

”Hahahaha! Lucky!”  The thin Elf said in excitement. With this chest that they have just found, they would have more items that they could use in the Survival Games.

Without any hesitation, the two Elves approached the chest. In their minds, they are silently hoping that the contents of the chest are good.

However, unbeknownst to the two Elves, the chest that they have just found was actually a trap that Elmont and Osborne had set.

This chest was from one of the chests that Leo and the others had found before. They decided to bring it with them through their Storage Ring exactly for situations like this one. After all, they could easily lure other players into a trap by using chests as bait since all players are frantically looking for more weapons, including them.

Completely oblivious that the chest is actually a trap, the thin Elf put both of his hands forward and soon lifted the cover of the chest.

To the thin Elf's shocked, what was waiting for him inside the chest wasn't some items, but rather his Highness, Elmont.

”Your Highness, Elmont...” The thin Elf muttered, completely stupefied with his finding. The first thought that came into his mind was that his Highness, Elmont, hid inside the chest to shelter from the snowstorm. And they have unexpectedly discovered his hideout.
