Chapter 293: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 96

"Should we continue or return back to base and discuss with the others?" Gilbert turns to look at Kayn, eager to know how the latter would handle the unexpected changes.

"I suggest we leave, we aren't certain what type of people we are going to encounter yet, including their capability and level. Also, I sense a foreboding feeling coming from the inside of this dungeon. It's either from them or the supposedly boss-rank monster inside," Wesley slightly shivered.

"Or," Kayn smiled devilishly. "Are you both familiar with the best method to hunt Goblins?"

Wesley looks at Kayn strangely as he doesn't have a clue what the latter is talking about.

"Do you mean smoking the rats?" Gilbert responded.

"Yes," Kayn nodded. "Similar to what we did before, except this time we are going to do it literally,"

"As in smoke them in out from the Dream Dungeon?"

"That's right,"

"And how do you plan on doing that? Burn a few weeds and trees?"

"How else can we make fire, especially since we don't have a mage with us,"

"Are you insane? That's no different from announcing to Garvin that there are people outside the Dream Village. He would for sure send some men to come here and check it out, or possibly even come here personally,"

"Do you want to know who these people are or not?"

"I do, but I don't want to die as soon as I found out,"

"I'm afraid that I have the same opinion as Wesley this time," Gilbert can't help interjecting. In the first place, they only came here to check the Dream Dungeon and confirm the existence of the Kraken inside. And in the process of doing so, they have to make sure that nobody from the Assembly of Freedom ever discovers them. Otherwise, they will be in huge trouble. "Unless we can make sure that not a single smoke or light escapes from this place,"

"That would be… difficult," Kayn fell into deep thoughts. "Change of plans, we are going to take a risk,"

"A risk?"

Gilbert and Wesley look at each other.

"Let's forget about confirming the existence of the Kraken in the Dream Dungeon. Instead, let's focus on finding out the identity of those five men," Kayn believes that it is a lot more important for them to confirm the truth. As for the Kraken, considering that it is a monster, with enough disturbance around the Slumbering Forest, it would highly likely reveal itself, thus they can temporarily put that aside.

Gilbert and Wesley immediately understood.

"I'll prepare the escape route, while the two of you start smoking the rats," Gilbert volunteered himself before quickly leaving.

Seeing Gilbert leave, Wesley looks at Kayn and asked. "So, what's the plan?"

"First, we destroy the entrance…"

Boom!

A muffle sound of explosion sounded as dozens of debris started falling from the top of the cave, which resulted in some parts of the cave being completely blocked off.

It still wasn't enough though to prevent the smoke and light from not getting seen.

"Let's make sure there's only one entrance left,"

Bang! Bang!

As another series of explosions resounded, more debris fell down to the cave, causing the size of the hole to shrink.

Eventually, they stopped after the size of the hole became small enough for two people to walk inside side by side.

"Let's put inside the light materials," Kayn muttered before walking inside the cave.

Wesley quickly followed.

Earlier ago, they cut dozens of trees and stored the materials inside their Storage Rings. In this way, it would be easy for them to bring the logs and leaves inside the cave.

Moments later, both Kayn and Wesley walked out of the cave while continuing to lay down a bunch of dried leaves and small twigs that can easily catch on fire.

"This should be enough," Kayn said in a remark as he stood up.

In the next moment, Gilbert returned.

"Are you guys done?" Gilbert asked.

"We're about to light it on fire," Kayn responded before asking. "Have you secured our escape route?"

"It's not exactly an escape route, more like a temporary hiding spot," Gilbert explained. He had hoped to find a path they could use to conceal themselves while returning to the Dream Village. However, the available routes provided little cover since they were outside the protective confines of the Slumbering Forest.

"Did you not find a single underwater cave tunnel that we can use?" Wesley can't help asking.

"I did, but it isn't cleared from monsters,"

"Are you sure that hiding spot couldn't be easily found?"

"There are two sizeable rocks blocking its entrance and we need to push aside some vines in order to get inside," Gilbert was confident with his choice. "It is also not considerably far from here, so we will be able to see them once they get out from the Dream Dungeon,"

"Alright," Kayn interrupted. His initial plan was to escape and leave the rest to Natas. Needless to say, he won't be able to explain how he knew the identity of Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards, but that doesn't matter since what's important is to be aware of the identity of who he is dealing with.

"I'll start lighting up the fire," Kayn took out the Molten Magma Core from his Storage Ring. He thought of using a lighter, but that would only be enough to light up dry leaves and the process would take a lot of time. On the other hand, the Molten Magma Core can instantly light up any light materials.

Whoosh!

A brilliant light illuminated the surroundings as the fire quickly spread through the light materials, slowly making its way inside the cave.

"Let's get out of here!" Kayn tapped Gilbert's shoulder for the latter to start leading the way.

"Okay," Gilbert nodded and started running in the direction of their hiding spot.

They arrived at the location, and just like what Gilbert had described, it was indeed an ideal hiding spot.

The entrance of the cave is obstructed by two massive boulders, and the vines behind them serve as a perfect cover for the cave.
