Outside, more than 40 kilometers from Hikaru's territory, a group of creatures consisting of more than 300 lizards were extremely well-armed. Unlike Laziro, this group of lizards wore metal armor and carried a variety of weapons. In comparison, the group that Laziro led into the territory were just civilians with weapons, and this group of Lizards looked like a regular army.
However, among the other 300 lizards, there was a very special lizard. This lizard was over 3 meters tall. There were scars on his body, and it was as if he had gone through countless fierce battles.
He sat down and held a Misty Lamp above the ground as if he was searching for something. After a while, he frowned and mumbled: "Laziro is exactly the same as before. He always erases his traces carefully and leaves nothing behind."
"So, what should we do now, Larinu? We can't just wander around aimlessly in the fog; the Misty Lamp's energy is only enough for another seven days." Another lizard spoke up.
After hearing what the other lizards were saying, he replied, "Continue moving; if we haven't found any trace of Laziro's tribe after five days, we will return."
…
In Himari's territory. At that moment, she and four other people were still discussing After the vision that the Cosmic Insight skill showed Hikaru, they continued to discuss other things.
Himari suddenly asked, "Why did the Hunter team lose five people?"
Lako frowned and said, his voice extremely annoyed: "Actually, the Hunter team has lost 5 people. 20 people are seriously injured and 4 people are slightly injured."
When Himari heard that, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, then she said in a very cold voice: "Why? If you don't have a reasonable answer, then I will judge you on behalf of the gods. "
When Lako heard this, his body suddenly trembled. No one would have thought that a 190 cm tall man with a body full of muscles would be trembling and scared of a little girl.
Not only Lako, but Ringo, Mogu, and Glob were also silent and bowed their heads, their eyes full of fear.
Lako took a deep breath and then said, "During the hunt, we encountered a explosion."
"Explosion?" Himari asked, confused.
"Right." Lako nodded and continued, "I don't know how far that explosion was from our position, but it's shockwave caused many people in the Hunter team to die and be injured."
Everyone who heard that was scared. If just the shockwave killed and injured many people, if they were near that explosion, the survival rate was almost zero. No, they would surely die.
Himari also frowned. She asked, "What's the cause?"
Lako shook her head: "I don't know. At that time, I immediately took all the members of the Hunter team and retreated because I was afraid that there would be another explosion."
Ringo suddenly spoke up: "Was that explosion created by another player?"
"What?" Mogu was startled. He countered: "No way, if a player possessed such tremendous power, we would have known."
Glob sighed and said, "I think it was a monster that caused the explosion. Everyone should remember that our Herald was the first person to pass through the 'monster raid' event. If someone is stronger than her, then that person's strength won't surpass hers by too much."
Ringo said, "Could it be... Hikaru? He used to own a UR Treasure Chest and a Golden Chest. Maybe he was the one who created that explosion. "
Mogu smiled scornfully, "Hikaru? Are you crazy? Maybe he used to have a UR Treasure Chest and a Golden Chest, but that's just a Treasure Chest and not a Nuclear Weapon Chest. "
Glob nodded and said, "That's right. If the shockwave of that explosion can cause death, that means that the explosion was half as powerful as an atomic bomb."
When Himari opened the guild information board, she only saw the messages of the people who had died. There was no information saying that they were killed by monsters or other players.
She frowned and said, "If what Lako said is true, a player can't create such a powerful explosion. Maybe it was a natural explosion or... It was caused by some monster. "
Himari said this because she didn't believe that a single player had the power to create such a terrifying explosion as Lako had said. Because of that, she thought that maybe it was a natural explosion like a volcano erupting or was caused by some monster.
Himari continued, "Hopefully it's a natural explosion. If it's from a monster, then we're in danger."
The atmosphere became tense. Lako, Mogu, Ringo, Glob, and Himari all had the same thought, hoping that the explosion was just a natural explosion. If that explosion was caused by a monster, it would be horrible.
They Imagined that, if the monster that caused the explosion attacked Himari's territory. All the players together in the territory wouldn't be able to stop it. To be more precise, everyone would die.
Himari continued, "Lako, how far is our territory from the place where you encountered the explosion?"
Lako thought for a moment and then replied: "About... 4 km."
"That's too close!" Himari frowned, her face showing tension. She said, "For now, we don't need to worry about Hikaru. Glob, you quickly let the builders team reinforce the wall. Ringo, you and your logistics team quickly check the remaining resources, especially food, and then report back to me. Lako, bring all members of the Hunter team back. I will review the situation and issue further instructions. Mugo, let your defense team immediately stabilize the entire territory, then group to guard against any threat."
"Yes, Emissary." All four of them answered Himari in unison.
Himari continued, "For the time being, everyone must remain vigilant and be battle ready."
"Yes!"
…
In Hikaru's territory.
He had just opened his eyes after using the Simulation Space skill when he heard Vuni's voice in his head.
"Master, I just discovered a group of monsters that can replenish the territory."
"A group of monsters?" Hikaru asked, confused.
"Right. It's quite far from the territory, so I need to leave the territory for a few days. I hope Master will allow it."
Hikaru frowned thoughtfully upon hearing that. He didn't worry that Vuni would be attacked by monsters when she went out because he knew she was strong. What he was worried about was that Morital might take advantage of Vuni's absence to attack.
Although he can defeat Morital's clone, that doesn't mean he can defeat Morital.
In general, if Vuni leaves the territory, Hikaru is definitely in danger.
Suddenly, Vuni's voice spoke again: "Master, don't worry. "Morital will not attack us."
"Hm? Why?"
"Secret."
Hikaru frowned upon hearing that. However, he did not think that she would harm him either. He nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."
"Thank you, Master."
Hikaru let out a sigh, then went down to the bottom of the lake and started the hibernation process. At this moment, Rika suddenly spoke up: [Master, why didn't you ask me about Vuni?]
Hikaru sighed and replied, "No need. I asked you once about Vuni. It's no use asking any more. Besides, I can use my talent - the king - to keep an eye on her. "
Yes, Hikaru could follow Vuni at any time, so he wasn't too worried. He continued, "How many days does it take to get to my territory from Himari's territory?"
[The fastest time is 4 days.]
Hikaru was relieved to hear that, then he instructed Rika to "Wake me up in two days."
[Yes, Master.]
…
Outside the territory, a man in a black robe holding a misty lamp stood about 2,000 meters away from Hikaru's domain. This man was morital.
Morital, who was moving, suddenly stopped. He frowned and looked ahead. There was a girl standing in front of him. She had a beautiful face, white hair, and she also wore a white dress. She was like an angel from heaven. However, the unique thing about her was that she had a pair of horns and extremely dazzling yellow wings.
That's right, the girl in front of Morital is Vuni.
Vuni looked at Morital with a smile and said, "If you hang around here, I'll turn you to dust."
Vuni's words were very gentle; however, when Morital saw her, he stood motionless in fear. His sweat was pouring out like rain, even his legs were shaking.
Morital breathed hard. He wanted to run, but he couldn't move. There was only despair in his mind; he felt like an ant about to be killed by a giant.
Morital tried to nod, but Vuni disappeared. Even though she disappeared, it took him about a minute for him to move. Morital then sat heavily on the ground. As he continuously regulated his breathing, it was as if he had been deprived of oxygen for a long time.
The misty lamp that fell on the ground illuminated the surroundings. Now, Vuni was no longer here. Even though she only appeared for 10 seconds, said a sentence, and then disappeared, Morital still felt scared even after she left.
Morital looked at his trembling hands and thought in his heart that he should immediately leave this place. He took a deep breath, then immediately ran away. Without looking back, he used his fastest speed to run away.
Right after Morital ran away, Vuni appeared and stood where he was just standing. At this moment, Rika's voice resounded in her head: [why didn't you kill him?]
When Vuni heard this, she shook her head and said: "If I do that, my location will be exposed. Besides, letting him live is more fun than killing him. Ah, did Master ask about me? "
[No!]
Vuni's face suddenly became downcast. She sighed and said, "I wish I could tell him the whole truth."
[You will have that opportunity, but not right now.]
Vuni nodded, then disappeared, the space sinking into silence and fog again.
