Time flew by unnoticed, and a night passed.

Although meditation can be boring, once you’re adept at it, it can replace a significant portion of sleep.

Even if you sit all night, it rejuvenates you as if you had a full night’s sleep.

Suddenly, Leonard Churchill heard some movement outside his door and slowly opened his eyes.

He checked the time on his pocket watch. It was 5:50.

He got out of bed, went to the bathroom, freshened up, ate some dry food, and it was exactly six o’clock.

He put on his gas mask, picked up his hunter’s backpack, and opened the door.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Tracy Garcia and her two partners in the corridor.

Upon seeing Leonard Churchill, Tracy Garcia took the initiative to greet him: “Good morning, Mr. Churchill.”

Leonard Churchill was stunned for a moment, and responded: “Mm, good morning.”

As a corpse collector, he was always surrounded by bodies and seldom conversed.

Now, being greeted so suddenly, he was still getting used to it.

They all descended down the stairs.

Although it was supposed to be a six o’clock departure, a group of leisure hunters didn’t assemble until 6:15.

Then they set off.

A group of people took an armored vehicle to the Gold-digging Dock.

Leonard Churchill was riding the steam cable car that traverses through the Abyssal Rift for the second time.

Looking at the Inverted Rain and the World Rift, he was still in awe.

Afterwards, a group of more than fifty people and a pile of supplies boarded a steam train packed with hunters and mercenaries.

This time, they weren’t going to the Demon Cross in the west,

but a new ruin called “Thunderbolt Fortress” in the north.

During the long train ride, Leonard Churchill wasn’t idle; he had been reading the medical books he borrowed from Tracy Garcia last night.

Since he borrowed them, he figured he should finish reading them and return them soon.

In this way, another five hours passed.

The train arrived at Thunderbolt Fortress.

The scale of these ruins was not as grand as Demon Cross; it was just a military fortress.

It seemed to have experienced cruel wars, and the buildings were thoroughly destroyed, leaving only ruins.

However, places where ancient wars have taken place usually have a higher probability of Alternate Dimension appearance.

This fortress recently became a hotspot for many hunting teams and mercenary groups to explore.

Therefore, a large Hunter’s Campsite was built.

But the destination of Leonard Churchill and his group this time was not the fortress.

After the train reached the end of the line, the group switched to armored vehicles, cleared some not so difficult ghouls and mutation monsters along the way.

After a few more hours of driving, a group of more than fifty people and large amounts of supplies arrived at an unnamed dark bowl in the mountains.

The main force of the Black Wolf Hunting Team had already established a temporary camp here with armored vehicles and armor plates.

The campfire was lively and bustling with people.

“We’re here! Everyone get off the truck!”

“Guys, come and help unload the supplies.”

Leonard Churchill and the hunters disembarked from the armored vehicles.

After journeying for several hours, the moment his feet touched the ground, he sighed a breath of relief.

He then observed the camp surroundings.

This was the true wilderness; danger lurked everywhere in the darkness.

Simply glancing around, Leonard Churchill noticed several green glowing eyes from unknown creatures lurking around the camp, coveting something. But they were afraid to approach because of the campfire.

He had gathered some information about this “Black Wolf Group” before coming here.

This was a veteran mercenary group registered with the Hunter’s Association several years ago, and had a good reputation.

Moderately sized with about seven or eight hundred people.

Here, there were approximately three hundred people, a subdivision of the group.

The leader was the vice leader of the second tier, named ‘Red Wolf’ Rex.

This group contained all sorts of Profession Card templates from the [Spades 4 – Beast Walker] series, thus almost all the hunters in the group followed this sequence.

They were stationed here mostly for Werewolf Material.

That was about everything he’d learned.

Leonard Churchill checked the surroundings and immediately spotted the cave at the base of a not too distant mountain.

A twisted light vortex was at the entrance of the cave, this was naturally the entrance to the [Greedy Mine Cave].

These were the most commonly seen entrance to the Alternate Dimension.

This was the advantage of exploration, as long as an Alternate Dimension was discovered, it became private property.

Of course, the prerequisite was that you have the strength to guard this space.

This was also one of the most significant advantages of large hunting teams and mercenary groups.

In a way, the Alternate Dimension was like a mine.

As long as it was properly exploited, it could constantly yield profits.

Not long after Leonard Churchill and his team got off the truck,

a table was set up in front of a nearby tent.

A Black Wolf Group squad leader straightforwardly greeted everyone: “Alright, our new friends, it’s two thousand per person. Pay first, then enter.”

As soon as the words fell, fifty people consciously walked over.

Leonard Churchill also lined up behind Tracy Garcia and her two companions, ready to pay.

Yes.

This was a duplicating mission that required a ticket!

In the process of exploring some large alternate dimensions, this approach was very common.

Deep alternate dimensions with a difficulty rating above B-grade were generally not cleared in one attempt.

It might even be impossible to achieve an S-ranking, they could only be cleared by grinding.

Exploration meant casualties.

Even top hunting teams could not afford such losses.

Besides, triggering hidden plots did not only rely on strength, but also on chance and luck.

Therefore, they needed some “external help”.

Exploratory hunting teams that encountered spaces they couldn’t resolve would post recruitment notices for joint exploration at the Hunter’s Association.

The hiring of independent hunters and small teams would increase the space exploration, reduce their own losses.

Although part of the space output would be lost, the ticket income was also a steady cash flow for the hunting teams, and their own casualties would be minimized.

It was a win-win situation..
