Chapter 884: Camp Mountain
Chapter 884: Camp Mountain
As the trio moved to a sufficient distance, Lindsey jumped down from the carriage.
The other young Awakened individuals turned their attention to him:
"Mr. Lindsey!"
"Brother Bei and Alice are going to hunt down a Warrior, a Seventh Stage one! Isn't that... too dangerous?"
Since they were also from the border village, these individuals were aware of Lindsey and Alice's journey, and their tacit cooperation in helping Lindsey disguise himself.
Now that the outsiders had all left, they naturally didn't need to keep up the act.
"Don't worry," Lindsey waved his hand generously, "Even if it's just Alice alone, with her current abilities, I don't think she'll lose. Moreover... there's definitely a secret hidden on that Messenger."
The young people didn't possess Lindsey's perceptive and judgmental abilities.
They looked at each other and finally chose to focus on the battle:
"Mr. Lindsey, if that's the case, how long do you think they'll be back?"
Lindsey smiled slightly:
"That's hard to say."
"But I can tell you this—I'll be back sooner."
In front of the young Awakened individuals, Lindsey activated his skill, changing his form and appearance, creating a basic disguise before their departure.
However, he also considered the safety of these young people.
He immediately activated The Builder's Hand and started pounding and clanging underground, creating a hidden cave beneath a depression. Then, he handed over several resource-transformed picks to the people in front of him:
"You guys hide here."
"If we don't return for a long time or you sense imminent danger, you must relocate. Take this and directly dig an escape tunnel with it."
After dealing with the young people, Lindsey immediately activated the Eternal Mark and disappeared into the ground without a trace.
Due to the Messenger's natural affinity ability, he might sense Lindsey's presence underground.
So, Lindsey specifically changed direction and approached the target from the southeast side of the mountain range.
Previously, when scouting the terrain, the distance was too far.
Lindsey found an upward passage and ended his reconnaissance. At this moment, as the distance shortened, Lindsey effortlessly included the entire mountain's interior within his scouting range.
More detailed images gradually appeared before Lindsey's eyes.
In the center of this mountain range, Warrior Viktor had dug out numerous large and small caves. Inside, there were escape systems, supply warehouses, and filthy places where slaves were kept for entertainment.
"Tsk." Lindsey raised his eyebrows as he raced underground.
Alice and the others were battling above, and unless absolutely necessary, he didn't need to intervene.
"Saving people is a priority."
"They are all living beings, and we can't just ignore them."
Lindsey had a plan underground.
Above ground, the three Awakened individuals who had stealthily entered Camp Mountain continued their tense journey.
Following the map's guidance, they indeed found a hidden gorge.
This place was originally a shallow underground river.
Over time, the river gradually dried up, leaving behind a long tunnel that arched out along with the mountain's slope.
At this moment, they entered the pitch-black tunnel.
They surveyed the surroundings and found traces of wild animals.
Alice's perceptive abilities hadn't diminished; even in the darkness, she could discern the age of the footprints.
"Not even a year ago, wild animals roamed freely here."
The messenger beside him nodded in agreement.
"These bandits have occupied the peaks, driving away all wildlife, leaving nothing behind."
"..."
Among the three, only the Law Guardian remained silent.
As he listened to Alice and the messenger's description, his right hand, holding a long sword at his waist, tightened with determination.
...
Swish!
Near the peak of Camp Mountain, sparse sounds came from a bush.
The sword gleamed.
A cluster of branches concealing a hidden cave were sparsely cut, and three figures emerged from within.
Leading the way was, of course, Alice, who was in charge of the team:
"Eris, your information is correct. Viktor is indeed in the camp."
"I can sense his essence, and it's very weak."
A cold glint flashed in Alice's gray eyes.
She steadied herself, carefully sensing the enemy's situation, and soon reached a conclusion:
"The distance is 370 meters."
"Besides Viktor himself, there are two women and one man beside him. The women are ordinary humans, being entertained by him, and the remaining man is an Awakened Being, likely his henchman."
Clang!
Under the cold night, the sword gleamed.
Alice gripped her sword and charged forward, launching a surprise attack without hesitation. The battle plan was simple:
"I'll take the lead!"
The messenger also immediately entered combat mode.
In a matter of moments, Alice had closed the distance. Eris' silent Word Spirit was activated, spreading its effect outward.
Crunch!
The terrain at the peak of Camp Mountain began to collapse, and a massive rock cage emerged from underground, forming a giant cage that enclosed the trio and their enemies.
"I can create the right environment for you."
"Unless you reach the Seventh Stage, no one can break out of my prison in a short time."
The Law Guardian, Xiao Bei, followed closely behind Alice.
"Alice, I..."
Before the Law Guardian could finish saying Alice's name, she spoke up.
"As the main attacker, I need you to hold the fort. You can step in if something unexpected happens."
She emphasized her words:
"Xiao Bei, I want to take him down myself!"
"..."
"Hmph!"
"Another fool seeking death."
As Alice rushed to the peak, a powerful essence fluctuation emanated from the enemy's camp.
Boom!
The camp, built atop the mountain, shattered into fragments under the impact.
In front of a metal throne, a man stood.
Bloodthirst, fear, oppression, and brutality...
His intimidating power radiated outward, exerting immense pressure on everyone present.
This was Viktor, the Seventh Stage Rampaging Warrior.
Indeed, as the messenger had described, he bore a scar across his chest that had yet to fully heal.
Behind Viktor, two adorable girls hid behind the chair, trembling.
Another man, like Xiao Bei, stood by his bandit master, providing support.
Viktor paid no heed to his subordinates.
He opened his bloodshot, ferocious eyes, sweeping his gaze over the trio, intensifying the oppression of the weak by the strong.
Clang!
Alice, charging forward, wasted no words.
She slashed through the debris of the camp, then swung her sword again, launching an attack directly at the Seventh Stage Warrior.
