In the meantime, Floyd, Gwen, and the other team members were a hundred meters from Benedict's group. Their team was slightly more powerful than Benedict's, and they scored higher than him, yet they weren't at Erik's team level.
They were near a river that led to an old cave entrance on the side of a cliff, which seemed perfect to find more thaids.
It wasn't too big for them to have problems climbing, but not so small as to prevent them from seeing what was happening around them.
"I will go look over there," Gwen said since she got to lead the other five students, and she had an armor-type brain crystal power.
"You guys stay here." She went towards the cave entrance with her gauntlets in hand. She climbed up the cliff's rugged surface until reaching the top.
From this vantage point, she stood several meters above the treeline with a clear view of the city and its surroundings.
However, before she could give a proper look, a screech shattered the silence.
"Fuck…"
