Chapter 532 Central Hall Entrance
The map didn’t mark resourse nodes, monster dens, hidden chests, or NPC locations.
Even so, it was more than enough for Hope Guild right now.
Riley glanced over the parchment and pinpointed their current position instantly.

“We’re in the middle of the mushroom lamp corridor. If the last two members of Dayshift’s group are still alive on this floor, they’re either heading for the central hall or stuck on the edge of this zone.”
RedBean checked her comm panel.
“Their status lights are still up, but no reply yet. Could they have already entered the central hall? Comms tend to lag a little inside
safe zones.”
“It’s possible.”
Hanna studied the map closely.
“This route cuts the travel distance way shorter than we thought. There are two side paths ahead, but we don’t need to take any detours.”
Riley nodded and turned to address the whole team.
“We’re not splitting up to search anymore. We’ll follow the map straight to the central hall. We’ll check for any Hope Guild markers along the way and ask around once we arrive.”
No one objected.
They’d already wasted too much time on Floor 9.
Scouring every single branch path was unrealistic and would only wear the team down against endless mobs. Now that they had basic map, pushing straight for the central hall was the only logical move.
The central hall was the one spot every survivor would eventually reach.
If the last two missing players were still alive, they’d definitely head there too.
The team set off again.
With a map in hand, their advance sped up drastically.
Riley no longer needed to pause and analyze every intersection. RedBean guided their route with the parchment. LoneWolf scouted nearby threats. Hanna and Riley held the front formation.
They wiped out small monster groups quickly and never lingered in one spot.
They ran into other teams along the way.
Most steered clear the second they spotted them.
Anyone who made it to Floor 9 knew how to read a situation. Hope Guild had solid numbers, full gear, and fresh battle scars.

Unknown teams didn’t dare approach; they simply crossed to the opposite tunnel and slipped past.
Riley never moved to block then
She had no interest in stealing loot or picking fights right now.
She ignored any neutral teams that didn’t block the path.
Of course, a few groups were foolish enough to cause trouble

At one mineral–shell intersection, three temporary teams were clustered around a dead elite monster, fighting over its drops.
When Hope Guild members walked by, several of them eyed the injured members in their ranks and got greedy.
One man stepped forward to block the path.
“We called this route first. If you wanna pass, you gotta pay a toll-
He never finished his sentence.
Riley slammed her axe into the stone tile right at his feet.
The ground cracked open.
The man’s words died in his throat.
Hanna raised her crossbow. LoneWolf vanished into the flank shadow’s. Felix smiled and shook the explosive tubes in his grip.
The opposing team froze for a heartbeat, then scrambled to get out of the way.
They ran into another minor issue later.
A team of over ten players tailed them from behind, planning to ambush them mid–fight and steal their loot,
LoneWolf spotted their shadows early. Riley didn’t turn back to chase. Instead, she ordered the team to burst forward at the next
corner.
Hanna took two crossbowmen and locked down the side firing angle.
The second the enemy team rounded the bend, three loaded crossbows were aimed straight at their chests.
There were no rules, no safety nets outside the safe zone.
The enemy paled and backed off immediately.
Riley didn’t order a pursuit.
“Keep moving.”
They cleared every obstacle along their path swiftly, opting to avoid conflict whenever possible, repel enemies only if forced into combat, and never give chase to retreating foes.
The team’s goal stayed crystal clear.
