Logan raised his eyebrow as he detected a mana signature in two trees up ahead.
'Two C-rank Pollen Serpents,' he thought. 'Let's see how they deal with this.'
He kept his eyes on Adam and the other two Gold Cores, Anthony and Lucie.
"Once we reach the camp, we'll split into three groups," Adam said, walking backward. "Each team gets one Gold Core."
While Adam rambled on, Anthony and Lucie exchanged glances.
They exchanged a small nod, then dashed towards the trees.
The group stared at them amazed, while Adam turned around with a frown on his face, having been completely unaware.
Lucie vanished into a shadow, reappearing high in the tree a second later.
She stabbed both of her daggers down, plunging them deep into what appeared to be tree bark.
The tree bark suddenly moved, throwing itself down from the tree and revealing its real appearance.
A large brown-colored serpent, twenty-five feet long and six feet thick, appeared, hissing wildly at the tree.
