A man looked ahead from the sea fog.
He saw a stronghold in the distance, and the trace of the Life Core Bead was there, but it wasn't very noticeable.
It meant that the Life Core Bead had been transferred.
'The situation is worse than I expected. I wonder who they handed the Life Core Bead to. If it was handed over to someone outside the cave, then I'll have to go back and report it.'
As for this stronghold, leaving a few survivors would suffice. He could clear out the rest. It would prevent the people here from leaking their information.
'First, I need to determine their strength.
After sensing the people there, he suddenly paused.
He took a step back, pulled out his spear, and faced the attack head-on.
Clang!
A strong impact dispersed the sea fog.
Both sides retreated a bit.
'That was close. If I had discovered it a step later, I would have been heavily injured.'
