Crossroads and Power Games

A day after Zachary's visit, Justin met Rachel as planned in the gnoll habitat. They swept through the area, taking down every gnoll in sight.

Thud!

"Keeng!"

"Got it!"

"Don't just stand there—finish it! Aim for the head!"

The hunting method was simple: Justin and his group would incapacitate the gnolls, and Rachel and her companions would rush in to finish them off. With the significant level difference between Justin's team and the gnolls, incapacitating them was not difficult. Both Justin and Nathan could attack safely from a distance, which helped a lot. Given how low-level Rachel's team was, their levels were rising rapidly.

"Level up! Another level up!"

"Wow, that's already the third one today!"

"Long live the bus! Thank you, big brothers!"

Rachel's companions cheered repeatedly, raising their hands in triumph. Rachel clicked her tongue at their enthusiasm.
