"Interesting. This is really interesting. I haven't seen a creature like you in a long time."

Isaac accessed his inventory and took out a bottle with a golden blue liquid. Then, he poured it into Aditya's mouth.

Slowly, the wounds healed, and the bruises were gone. His body returned as if he had never been injured.

Isaac gave Aditya an elixir.

He thought that man would ask for his help, but who would have thought he would have preferred the homunculus children to be saved first? He was more worried about others than himself.

Aditya's actions were enough to impress him.

He might not have saved Aditya if the man begged to be saved.

"Lord, I've managed to secure them."

Aman appeared along with the other homunculus children. They were in fine condition. It was just a sad look etched on their faces.

Naturally, the homunculus children approached Aditya who was lying on a puddle of mud. They held the man gently.

Even though they were clueless, it was quite easy for them to understand Aditya's sacrifice.

"The man is fine. You better get ready to go. Staying here any longer is not safe," Isaac said.

The homunculus children nodded innocently.

After that, Isaac lifted the man onto his back. They couldn't stay still for long. They had to return to the camp right away.

"Brother!"

Guo Chen was really surprised to see Isaac holding the unconscious Aditya. What's more, he was seen together with the homunculus children. The man quickly ran to Isaac and helped lift Aditya.

The people in the camp also became noisy.

"Take him to the treatment tent."

"Okay, brother." Guo Chen then asked the other members to help carry Aditya.

Then, Wang Yi and Ling Tian appeared. The first thing Wang Yi did was to ask about Isaac's condition. As for Ling Tian, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.

Their number was less than when he sent his men. The five talented hunters couldn't be seen.

"Where are the others?"

Isaac shook his head. That response was enough to make Ling Tian understand.

Ling Tian's attention then turned to the homunculus children. They looked drenched and their lips had turned blue. Some of them seemed to be shivering.

The Party Leader quickly ordered his men to take the children to the tent, but Wang Yi proposed herself to take care of them instead.

"After saving them, then what? There's no way we're going to let the children come with us. You still remember our goal, right?"

Ling Tian said it without beating around the bush.

Isaac snorted. "I will speak to Wang Yi; persuade her to take them back. Half of the Nine Sky members might as well go. Then, the rest stay with us, continuing the search for the missing joint raid members."

Ling Tian nodded. "But, are you sure you can persuade her?"

"We will see later."

Then, Ling Tian was silent.

He felt as if Isaac controlled the Nine Sky members rather than the vice chairman. Besides, every decision made by the man seemed to have been thought out thoroughly beforehand.

Ling Tian didn't understand whether Isaac planned this rescue from the start or purely based on their current situation.

Surely, in his eyes, Isaac seemed to be able to see through everything.

There were many questions and complaints he wanted to convey. However, nothing could come out of his mouth. Every time he tried to understand Isaac, more puzzle pieces appeared, making all of his questions stuck in his throat.

"You should rest, Brother Isaac. You had a tiring night."

Ling Tian patted the man's shoulder. After that, he left the place, while Isaac could only sigh.

'Brother? It seems he knows how not to look for enemies.'

Isaac shook his head for a moment, then headed for the tent. He needed to rest for tomorrow's journey.

Rays of light began to penetrate the forest and hit the camp. The party members were seen rolling up the tents. They prepared to continue their journey.

However, now the party was split into two groups.

Wang Yi took half of her members to bring the homunculus children down to the 1st Floor. She followed Isaac's orders to secure them to the outside world. Aman didn't come with her, as the little girl would be the guide on the 3rd Floor.

Meanwhile, the other half continued to search for the raid members who were rumored to be missing, along with the Golden Dragon. Isaac was appointed by Wang Yi to represent the members of Nine Sky.

"All right, Brother Isaac. I trust them to you. Be careful."

"You too."

After a brief farewell, they quickly resumed their respective journeys.

The group led by Ling Tian moved towards the north. Aman showed a safe route that was rarely traveled by albino homunculus and other monsters. So that along the way, they were almost not attacked by monsters at all. Only a few goblins were trying to rob them, and of course they were nothing.

Their exploration of the 2nd Floor stopped after finding a teleportation gate that stood in the middle of a dense forest.

"After passing through this teleportation gate, we will face different monsters. Nothing stopped us so far, but don't underestimate them no matter what."

Ling Tian gave a short speech before leaving for the 3rd Floor. Then, their group entered the gate.

.

It was a swamp.

That was a short description to describe the 3rd Floor. As far as the eye could see, they didn't see the ground once. The murky green water pooled as high as the calves. Besides the water, they saw giant sized trees towering up. The leaves were orange like in autumn and had giant roots.

Out of the many terrains they had traveled, the swamp was the last option on their list. Swamp water and soft mud hindered their movements. Pisces type monsters were quite dangerous because they would hide under the murky water. They were patient enough to wait for prey to come close. Moreover, it would be difficult for hunters to find a place to sleep because swampy terrain rarely contained dry land.

However, this did not stop them.

Ling Tian along with his party members moved following the directions of Aman. Thanks to the little girl, the journey became easy once again. They avoided vulnerable areas. They even found dry land to take a rest.

And unexpectedly, for only two hours of their journey on the 3rd Floor, they already found tents with white armor people guarding outside.

Guo Chen, who recognized them right away, exclaimed excitedly, "We found them!"
