At that moment, within the Serpent Lair, Quintus and his forty–person team ascended the snowy mountain.

“It’s freezing to death out here!”

Quintus couldn’t help but complain, his deep voice cutting through the icy wind, “When exactly can we light a fire?”

Even Solana glanced over at Magnus. It was Magnus who had forbidden them from starting a fire.

Magnus, however, knew Quintus well. The burly man wasn’t truly cold; he was grumbling about Magnus‘

strategy.

Quintus had a knack for opposing him just for the sake of it. If anyone had a right to feel the cold, it was Magnus himself. Among the forty of them, his cultivation level was the lowest, so he should have been the first to shiver.

Still, Magnus ignored the complaints, his gaze fixed on the terrain ahead as he continued scanning the surroundings with binoculars.

“Hey, Magnus! We’ve been hiding for a whole day and night. When can we head down? We’re here to fight and wipe out the enemy, not to run away like refugees

Quintus didn’t stop his grumbling-

This time, even Solana spoke up. “Exactly. If we’re just going to hide, we might as well charge down and slaughter them!”

At last, Magnus abruptly lowered the binoculars. Without sparing them a glance, he gave a sharp order. “Want to fight? Fine. Follow me!”

Without waiting for a response, he started heading downhill.

Quintus and Solana exchanged puzzled looks. Were they really about to launch an attack?

Still, Mackenzie had made it clear–the team was to follow Magnus‘ commands to the letter. That left them with no choice but to follow his lead.

Meanwhile, Lexi’s smaller group of about a dozen had made their way into the Serpent Lair but dared not delve deeper.

Unsure of the situation outside, they feared the Toad King’s forces might still be lying in wait. So, they too decided to climb the mountain.

But to their dismay, they encountered enemies midway up the slope.

These foes all wore necklaces marked with the Serpent insignia. Their sinister expressions left no doubt
