Chapter 294: Exploring the break zone (3)
When these kobolds reached the camp, they walked in a very strange manner.
But through the strange way that they approached the camp, we were able to notice something about this camp.
If we didn't see the kobolds entering the camp like this, we wouldn't have seen it, but there were traps that were scattered all around the camp. The reason why they walked in that strange manner was because they were avoiding the traps that had been set.
This was the safe path to the camp.
But because of this, we weren't able to see what was inside the camp.
The only thing that we could tell about this camp was the aura that came from it.
This was not the aura of a normal monster.
Whatever was in that camp was definitely powerful, which meant that this was the prey that we were looking for.
The only problem was how to attack it.
This powerful monster was hiding in a well defended camp that had traps surrounding it, there was no way that we would be able to approach without being discovered.
After all, there was only a single path into the camp.
If we tried to sneak in with Long Shui Ling's illusion, there was no guarantee that a group wouldn't come out of the camp. At the same time, even if we reached the walls, we didn't know if there were more traps that were placed along the walls of the camp.
So we really couldn't charge in without getting more information.
After talking for a bit, we decided to watch over the camp to see if there was anything that we could use for our attack.
We settled in around the camp and carefully observed it.
And half an hour later, we found a way to attack.
"Are you sure that there's no other way out of the camp?" I asked Claire who had the sharpest eyes.
She had been posted on a hill that looked right into the camp, so she had been able to see the layout of the camp.
Claire gave a nod and said, "There's only a single entrance, which means that there's also only a single exit. As far as I could tell, they only had simple structures in the camp, so it was impossible for them to have anything like a secret exit."
I looked at the camp with narrowed eyes.
This was a camp that was completely made of wood and fur from animals.
Monsters might try to build a society, but there was only so much that they could do with their limited intelligence and resources. This was nothing more than a primitive camp that only had traps as defenses.
But since those traps created only a single path in and out of the camp, that meant…that it was also something that trapped them in this camp.
Since they were surrounded by a wood wall…it was perfect for us to use one thing.
This was the one trick that we had been using the entire time, but this time we had twice the firepower which made it even more effective.
I turned to look at two matches that our team had and they looked back at me with a strange look.
It wasn't that they didn't understand what role they had, it was just that the way that I looked at them made them feel uncomfortable.
I walked up to the two matches and patted them on the back before saying, "Can you take care of this?"
Blaze and Kaito nodded in response before saying in an enthusiastic voice, "Just leave it to us."
With that, the plan was set.
The only problem was that we might burn all of the materials that we need to collect…
But Su Chen solved that problem for me.
"We can't carry most of the kobolds back with us in the first place, so it doesn't matter if they burn away. The stronger the monster, the more resistant they are, so it shouldn't be a problem for that higher rank monster to survive these flames."
I had been thinking too much about taking all of the kobolds back.
I shouldn't have been blinded by trying to earn as much as possible, I should have just focused on the big prize. After all, it was the big prize that would earn us the most prestige with the rest of the group and that was the most important thing.
So I stopped hesitating and gave a nod to Blaze and Kaito.
The two of them went separate ways as they headed off towards the camp.
Kaito took a high position that would allow him to see everything while Blaze walked right up in front of the camp with Long Shui Ling's illusion on him.
Everyone else surrounded the camp just in case there were any monsters that tried to break through the flames and succeeded, though it was more of a precaution than it was a necessity.
The main force stood in the forest not far from where Blaze was and by that, it was Bing Xin.
Once everyone was in position, Kaito gathered several balls of dark flames around him before suddenly throwing them down at the camp.
These balls of dark flames didn't fall fast and they didn't fall into the camp.
They were aimed with purpose, falling on the walls that were around the camp. Explore stories on M V L
They fell at intervals on the wall so that they were evenly spread out and caused the walls to ignite around the camp. There wasn't a single gap for the monsters to escape from.
Once the walls were ignited, it didn't take long for the flames to spread through the camp since the structures were made of wood and fur.
The kobolds immediately rushed to the exit in a crowd and there were many that were trampled or trapped in the camp with the flames.
There were only a few that made it out of the camp at first and they followed the path through the traps.
But before they could leave, there was a wall of flames that appeared that stopped them.
