Chapter 877 Group Meeting?
The days passed, and soon Vicente's group was back in the territory of the Dragon Tribe.
Traveling through the Majestic Treefrog Grove would have been dangerous and a grand adventure for others as strong or stronger than the members of Vicente's group under other circumstances.
However, with the current crisis on the continent and Vicente's friendship with the two Sovereign tribes of this area, anyone who stood in their way, just like the great Roc, would change their minds after a few words.
With a Qilin and a Roc on their side, things were even casier than on the way to the Elves Tribe, and the group did not face a single problematic situation after leaving the Qilin Tribe.
When they arrived at the Dragon Tribe this afternoon, they talked to the tribe's elders and explained a bit about what had happened before getting permission to continue their exit from Majestic Treefrog Grove through the place they had entered weeks ago. This time, the group would not have to deal with the many traps in their path. With the help of the dragons, they would have a clear path to get out of this area and back to their plans.

"Impressive. I've never seen the dragon's challenge area before, but I can feel how powerful these traps are," Tanglin said to the group as they walked through the area Vicente, Elmo and Victor had passed through recently.
The five walked on the ground, their auras contained within their own bodies, while Vicente used his electromagnetic powers to make them invisible.
Because of the qualitative advancement he had undergone, all of his magnetic abilities were stronger. Even with four Archmages at his side, one of them with an enormous body, he kept them hidden with ease.
"Yes, it's even more impressive when the traps are active... Luckily, we've been there before and won't have to do it again." Victor smile.
Seeing an opportunity, he transmitted the message to the creature near them, causing it to move and turn its back on the group.
'Now!' He warned his people to move faster, still moving hidden, without using much of their powers, but now much faster than a few moments ago.
A few minutes later, the group of five overcome the monsters' observation range, successfully leaving the Light Path's large beast territory without attracting the attention of their enemies.
But the group didn't celebrate their accomplishment. As soon as they were far enough away from the monsters and vampires that guarded that territory, they headed toward the spot where Vicente, Elmo, and Victor had left the rest of the group weeks before. The three humans and the three magical creatures left behind should wait for them, if nothing too troublesome had happened in the meantime.
Worried about their companions' situation, the group remained cautious on their journey, which would take them several tens of minutes even at Acidbelly's speed.
As they approached where the rest of the group was supposed to be, Elmo and Vicente, the first to look around, narrowed their eyes when they didn't see their allies. "They're not where we left them." The Leshy of the group said, his wooden face subtly changing expression.
"What could have happened?" Victor asked with concern in his voice.
"Maybe they moved to avoid trouble. Let's not assume the worst for now!" Vicente said as he instructed Acidbelly to land near the spot where they had stayed for days, watching the monsters and vampires in their path.
Arriving at the spot, Vicente found a note left by Ayden, casily spotted because of his advanced tracking skills.
"They were forced to leave. I don't know if they're okay, but we have to follow them. They can't be far. It is two weeks old at the most since they left." Vicente said to his group, guessing how long it had been since the metallic paint on the message had been applied.
The group agreed and soon began to investigate where their allies had gone.
