Chapter 535 Fateful Encounter

Damian spoke up. “Do you think it’s Tartking?”

No one answered.

But everyone in the team thought the same thing.

Nobody and ToxicReaper had headed to Floor 10 more than ten hours early. They’d almost definitely chased some kind of lead.

Riley’s gaze drifted to the center of the hall.

The gate leading to Floor 10 stood right there.

A staircase wound downward, ending at a glowing barrier.

The hall was perfectly safe.

It had regeneration effects, merchants, a fully functional blacksmith shop, and plenty of time to rest.

Logically, they should have stayed longer. Let the injured recover fully, fix all their gear, and top up every last consumable.

But Riley couldn’t sit still any longer.

She had no way of knowing what Nobody and ToxicReaper had run into.

She couldn’t confirm if TartKing and PineappleBeer were really on Floor 10.

But they already had a lead.

They couldn’t keep falling behind.

RedBean saw her decision before she spoke.

“President, we still have half an hour left on our break.”

Riley looked at her.

“But we’ve finished grabbing our basic supplies,” RedBean continued.

“Seven pieces of gear are repaired. We’ve restocked potions, and the injured are in much better shape. Another 30 minutes would help them recover more, but our trail will only grow colder.”

Hanna stood up as well. “I say we go. We already have a map of Floor 9. There’s no point lingering. Floor 10 is completely unknown The sooner we move, the better chance we have of picking up Nobody’s trail.”

LoneWolf nodded in agreement.

“They left in a rush. They must’ve left battle marks or trade traces along the way. If we wait too long, other players will wipe them

out.”

Bruce sighed and tossed his newly repaired shield to a frontline member.

“Fine, let’s go. None of us can relax sitting here anyway.”

Riley scanned the team and gave–a–final nod.

“Finish your final checks and rest up. We enter Floor 10 in ten minutes. Good work, everyone.”

Not a single person chose to stay behind.

They all knew rest mattered.

But finding their missing teammates mattered more.

“No trouble at all! We’re all family in this guild!”

“Hell yeah!”

Everyone agreed.

RedBean quickly redistributed all newly bought supplies.

Instead of stacking all potions in one spot, she split them evenly among each squad. It prevented total loss if something went wrong after they teleported.

All repaired gear went back to its owners. Spare weapons with low durability got stowed safely in everyone’s backpacks.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Hope Guild reformed their formation and marched toward the central gate.

No one moved to block their path this time.

Many survivors in the hall watched them go, clearly stunned.

“They just got here, right? They’re heading to Floor 10 already?”

“Floor 10’s way deadlier than Floor 9. Are they rushing to their deaths?”

The whispers drifted over, but none of the guild members slowed their steps.

Riley led from the very front.

Hanna walked just behind her side. Red Bean stayed in the center to manage logistics. LoneWolf patrolled the outer edge of the

formation.

LoneSparrow, Felix, Damian, and the rest of the team followed in their newly arranged battle formation.

At that exact moment, ripples suddenly spread across the barrier on the opposite side of the hall.

The next second, a group of people stumbled and scrambled into the central hall.

The leaders gasped for breath. Their gear was mostly intact, but their faces were pale.

They’d clearly burned countless speed boosts and recovery potions just to rush here nonstop.

The second they stepped inside, they glanced back to make sure their whole group had made it through before finally relaxing.

“We’re here! We finally made it!

“Hurry, restock fast! Grab potions, bolts, fix your gear. Move quickly! Offload the supplies to the people waiting outside.

“I checked the path outside. To get to the hall gate, you have to go through a tight choke point. Once we’re stocked up, we’ll set up a sentry post there!
