Chapter 578 Reunion at the Outpost

A Hollow Shell Patrol crept slowly past the broken bell stand.

The cracked bell on its chest swayed softly. Its hollow head scanned the area, as if listening for every tiny sound around it.

The three girls hid around the corner and stayed perfectly still.

They waited until the Hollow Shell Patrol dragged its copper wires deeper into the tunnel. Right after it left, a familiar face peeked out from behind a stone pillar.

It was LoneWolf.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the moment he spotted Riley, PineappleBeer and TartKing together, he lowered his voice to a quiet whisper.

“Thank goodness, we finally found you.”

Two more guild members stood behind him. Their faces lit up the second they saw Pineapple Beer and TartKing.

“Pineapple!”

“Tart!”

TartKing smiled at them. “Are you guys okay?”

One survivor answered right away, “We’re fine! Those Bell Bugs jumped us twice on this floor. LoneWolf kept complaining about his bad heart, but he ran faster than anyone.”

LoneWolf shot him a sharp look. “Kid, don’t make up stories.”

TartKing burst out laughing.

“Let’s head back,” Riley said.

LoneWolf dropped his playful tone and gestured forward.

“Hanna and the others are at Broken Bell Stone Platform. We’ll take the side path. It’s narrow, but almost no monsters here. We already cleared it on our way to get you.”

With LoneWolf leading the way, the rest of their journey went smoothly.

The group avoided two cracked zones and snuck past a/cluster of Bell Bugs clinging to the walls. One small bug got startled by their footsteps and was about to ring an alarm, but PineappleBeer pinned it down with a single dagger strike.

Her blade struck without a sound.

LoneWolf’s eyes widened in surprise.

“New weapon?”

PineappleBeer sheathed her dagger. “Yeah.”

LoneWolf glanced at the bug, which had already crumbled into copper scraps. “That’s an awesome weapon.”

TartKing cut in beside him, “We got it from a platinum chest.”

LoneWolf froze mid–step.

“What kind of chest?”

TartKing blinked and grinned. “You heard nothing.”

LoneWolf went completely quiet.

“Keep going,” Riley said calmly.

LoneWolf immediately clamped his mouth shut.

The closer they got to Broken Bell Stone Platform, the more guild markers they saw.

NorthWind had carved simple arrow marks into the walls. ToxicReaper had marked safe paths with subtle materials on the ground. Several dangerous gray cracks were blocked off with small rocks, with clear warning signs next to them.

Hope Guild was no longer scrambling just to regroup like when they first entered the dungeon.

Now they took initiative to tidy up the area, set up temporary routes and mark danger spots to keep everyone safe.

That was what a real team was all about.

When Riley finally saw the platform, she found it had been turned into a small, secure outpost.

The platform sat higher than the surrounding ground, with a wide flat top and broken stone railings all

around.

NorthWind’s team had blocked off all the upward slopes with broken rocks and cut chains.

Bruce and the shield team guarded the weakest spot, where monsters were most likely to charge in.

Hanna stood on high ground, crossbow ready in her hands.

RedBean stayed in the center, counting members and sorting out supplies.

Felix squatted nearby, adjusting a set of firecrackers and mumbling to himself, “This one’s too risky to fire randomly, this one’s okay for small blasts, and I need the president’s green light for this last one.”

Nobody and ToxicReaper tended to the wounded on the other side.

LoneSparrow handed out water and simple food to everyone.

The temporary base was small, but neatly organized in every way.

+5 Free Comis

The second Riley, PineappleBeer and TartKing came into sight, everyone on the platform turned to look.

After a brief silence, the whole place burst with excitement.

“President’s back!”

“Pineapple!”

“Tart!”

As soon as TartKing stepped onto the platform, a group of familiar guild members crowded around her.

Some asked if she was hurt. Others wondered how tough their journey had been.

One member quietly asked if she’d brought any snacks. Everyone knew her special desserts had awesome buffs in the dungeon–they tasted great and boosted stats too.

TartKing had answered the first two questions seriously, but she couldn’t help laughing at the last one.
