Cave Refuge

The raiders initially thought it was going to be a simple operation, but they didn't expect to encounter such eerie events at this camp.

However, since they could become raiders, their own combat ability naturally couldn't be underestimated; otherwise, they would have perished in previous operations.

It had been said, those black snakes on their own weren't very strong in combat. The reason they were deemed so dangerous was due to their seemingly endless numbers and their small size which allowed them to swarm attacks.

Once the raiders stabilized their footing, some Martial Artists among them gradually began to move toward the position of the Awakeners.

But those Martial Artists, being well aware of their teammates' capabilities, generally stayed about fifty meters away from the few Awakeners and didn't stand together trusting each other like the Awakeners did.

Based on the positions of the raiders at this moment, Dong Tianyu understood that although they seemed to be from the same raiding group, there were actually several different subgroups within, seemingly attacking their camp together, but each had their own thoughts.

When all the raiders gathered together, one of the burly Martial Artists couldn't help but speak up, "Treasure Hunter, has your ability malfunctioned? Why target such a camp for a raid?"

To the questioning Martial Artist, the Awakener holding the Compass didn't retort right away but simply lifted the Compass. When everyone saw the purple light shining from the Compass, the Awakener known as the Treasure Hunter then spoke,

"I have successfully located the most valuable target in the camp. Do you see the color shining from the Compass now? Do you remember the last time the Compass shone purple, and the big spoils we obtained after the raid?

If you don't believe in my capability, you can choose to leave now. After all, if you don't participate in the spoils distribution after a successful raid, I assume no one would argue if you decide to leave now."

Hearing the blunt retort from Treasure Hunter, the burly Martial Artist wasn't annoyed. His earlier speaking was just a tactic to see if it was possible to suppress the spoils distributed to the others by using the surrounding black snakes.

As raiders, even if they hadn't been attacked by the black snakes upon entering the camp, they would face resistance from the survivors inside during the raid. Therefore, no matter what, fighting during a raid was inevitable.

After all, none of the survivors alive today were of weak character; once their supplies were taken by others, the inevitable outcome would be death. Therefore, it's less about the camp having no weak-willed survivors and more that all the weak-willed had long perished.

Treasure Hunter just smiled at the burly raider and didn't speak further. Knowing the characters within the raiding group, he didn't pursue the matter further and then said, "According to the lit-up color on the Compass, everyone should understand, if this raid succeeds, the proceeds will be significant.

But you've seen the current situation of the camp, surrounded by those black snakes. I don't know if it's an enemy defense tactic or if they have been severely damaged by the assaults of these black snakes.

However, regardless of the situation, it actually doesn't affect us much. Right now, I just want to ask you, how many of you will continue with me?"

Their raiding organization was quite loose because there was no leader who could completely control everyone. Therefore, the raiding group appeared to be a whole, but there were three different smaller gangs within, along with some Lone Wolves lingering.

After every successful raid, all the spoils were distributed according to effort; Treasure Hunter was responsible for locating and pinpointing the most valuable targets and received a ten percent reward alone.

Then, all those who participated in the raid would split fifty percent of the reward; the remaining forty percent was distributed according to the Contribution Value during combat.

Although this distribution method wasn't the best, it was acceptable to everyone in the raiding group, so this method had continued until now.

As members of the raiding group, since they had already entered the camp and excluding one unlucky person who sprained his ankle accidentally, no one in the raiding group was injured at the moment. So, when Treasure Hunter asked the question, no one chose to give up.

In fact, before Treasure Hunter asked that question, he already knew the answer; after all, everyone present was a raider who had participated in more than one camp raid.

If anyone disapproved strongly or still had a conscience, they would have left the raiding group early or would have been completely exploited by other members. At this point, the members of the raiding group who could survive were definitely not kind-hearted.

Once he confirmed everyone's thoughts, Treasure Hunter said no more and directly tossed the Compass up, then the Compass burst into the air, shattering into dust, and right in front of Treasure Hunter, a purple arrow formed from the dust, pointing in the direction where Ye Liuyun was located.

Seeing Treasure Hunter suddenly throw the Compass, Dong Tianyu was extremely surprised; then, when an arrow formed in the air from the explosion turning purple, Dong Tianyu found it even more incredible.
