It was only after retreating more than a kilometer away inside the place almost entirely covered with webs did Leo and everyone heard the beginning of the fight in the far distance.

Their distance right now, despite still being in the place almost covered entirely with webs, was already considered safe. But still, they didn't let down their guard.

Loud explosions sounded every now and then, which causes the webs surrounding them to start trembling due to the fight.

"We need to leave this place as soon as possible!" Leo exclaimed to the others as he noticed that the webs around them were finally starting to detach from the walls and fall down.

He quickly realized that staying any longer inside this place would be very dangerous for all of them. Once webs fall towards them, escaping out from it would become extremely difficult due to how dense the webs were and how sticky the webs were. It's even possible for them to be stacked on the webs helplessly, and their only way to escape is to ask the others nearby them to pull them out.

Cassandra and everyone also understand clearly this point, so they hasten their movements to escape.

Along the way, Leo started summoning his Elementals to support him. He summoned 4 Fire Elementals since webs were weak against fire and 2 Earth Elementals for defense in case a Sandstone Spider would randomly attack them.

Every now and then Leo and everyone would shoot some Magic spells to block the webs from falling towards them. A few of them have also experienced being trapped, at least once, causing their speed to slow down. Even with the Elementals' help, it still proved to be very difficult to quickly traverse forward.

It wasn't a big of a problem for Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Sele, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre if ever they were the ones trapped by the webs since their strength alone is already enough to allow them to break free out from the webs. Unfortunately, it wasn't the same case with the rest. Once they got trapped, they could only helplessly ask for others to help them break out from it.

After tens of minutes of experiencing such a difficult journey, everyone finally reached the very end. Still, they didn't stop as they continued moving towards the 5th outpost.

Right now, there were only a few webs around them, which honestly speaking, when compared to the place almost covered entirely with webs, was a lot safer. Even though a few webs would still fall due to the continuous trembling of the walls caused by the ongoing fight and fall towards them, getting out from it is a lot easier even without anyone's help since despite it still being sticky, there would only be a small number of webs. The last time, whenever some webs fall, they would bring along with them a lot more webs to their path downward, causing the webs to become very dense, thus hard to escape.

Soon, Leo and the others finally arrived at the 5th outpost, making them heave a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the 5th outpost was on full alert. The majority of the people of the Earthen Spirit race were on the top of the walls, weapons ready in hand.

War weapons were armed and pointed towards their front, ready to fire once any Magical Beasts appeared.

The watchtowers weren't entirely made of wood anymore, as a majority of it was now made out of stone. On top were Mages, preparing to provide support once the fight begins.

Surprisingly, even the walls now have gates made out of huge and thick wood combined together with stone to block the entrance. Unlike before that, it was only an open pathway.

Whooosh!

The three wooden gates in the middle pathway slowly opened, allowing Leo and everyone to walk in.

"Prince Leo," Mayor Jong greeted as soon as Leo arrived inside the third gate.

"Gather your people," Leo immediately informed Mayor Jong before walking straight towards the meeting tent located in the middle. Cassandra and the others also followed closely behind.

Hearing Leo's words, Mayor Jong didn't bother asking any questions as he immediately called out his officials and took them into the meeting tent. He quickly understands just from that word of Leo alone that there was no longer any time to waste.

As soon as everyone arrived, the meeting for the new changes of plans began.

.....

After a few hours, the meeting came to an end.

Mayor Jong along with his officials left the meeting tent before quickly gathering soldiers to come with them to the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.

Meanwhile, Leo and everyone walked straight outside the wall. They decided that they will wait for Mayor Jong to finish gathering the soldiers over there as it has a much more bigger space.

The walls surrounding them keep on trembling every now and then. Right now, it wasn't only causing the webs to fall down, but some loose parts of the walls as well.

Seeing this, Leo's face turned even more solemn. Honestly speaking, this was exactly the main reason why he was in a rush right now, because he realized on their journey back to the 5th outpost that the longer they allowed the Sandstone Lord Spider and the Beast Lord Cave Lizard to fight, the more damage they would cause around this place. He is a hundred percent sure that before the fight would be over, this place would be covered with plenty of rubles of various different sizes. At that time, going to the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest would become many folds more difficult.

After a few minutes of waiting, a big formation of soldiers lead by Mayor Jong and his people was finally formed behind Leo.

A total of 500 people were gathered together, separated into 5 different formations with 100 soldiers on each.

"Ready?" Leo turned to look at Mayor Jong and asked.

"Yes!" Mayor Jong nodded his head in response.

"Then let's begin!" Leo smiled before turning around and starting to lead in front.

Cassandra and the others then quickly followed behind Leo, before Mayor Jong and his officials, then lastly the soldiers.

Along the way, they cleared all the webs blocking their path, even the webs up on the ceiling weren't spared. They also reinforced the ceiling using Earth Element Magic spells to avoid from any accidents of falling rocks from the loose parts of the walls.

Mages were in front as they casted Fire Element Magic spells to burn down the webs, as it was the only way for them to completely clear them.

They continued doing that until eventually they arrived at the place almost covered entirely with webs.

The sight of this place alone was already enough for everyone to take a step back and bring shivers to their bones.

All of them are fully aware that the place in front of them right now is the most dangerous place aside from the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.

Fortunately, though, they were informed ahead of time that there are only a few Sandstone Spiders in this place. So, it's not as dangerous as they thought.

"Begin!" Leo soon sent out an order.

The Mages nodded their heads before putting their hands forward and casting Fire Element Magic spells once again.

Whoooosh!

Whoooosh!

Whoooosh!

Many different kinds of Fire Element Magic spells shoot straight towards the webs, burning them down from crisps then to nothing.

The fire continued spreading towards the other webs, causing an enormous fire to start. It continued to spread deeper and deeper.

At the same time, Leo ordered everyone to start moving forward.

"Move!" Mayor Jong and his officials quickly ordered the soldiers to begin marching forward.

Every now and then, Sandstone Spiders would randomly attack them, causing a few casualties, especially to the Mages as they were at the very front.

Fortunately, though, no one has died amongst them yet. The only worst case was one of the Mages seriously getting injured after a Sandstone Spider caught him off guard and pulled him straight to the fire.

The main reason for only having a few casualties was because of Charlotte and the other powerful people closely guarding the front. They were able to quickly provide assistance whenever someone was being attacked. No one could practically escape from their eyes.

The farther they have traveled, the more Sandstone Spiders attacked them and the more casualties they have received. But still, no one has died.

Everything was proceeding according to plan. So far, no mishaps have happened yet.

Unfortunately though, just like what Leo had expected, the place is starting to slowly get destroyed. More and more rocks have fallen to the ground from the ceiling. The trembling of the wall became, even more, stronger, and cracks began to show around their surrounding.

Although they were indeed reinforcing the surrounding walls, it would most likely only last for a short period of time.

Looking at this sight, Leo didn't hesitate to secretly summon his Earth Elementals disguised in their toy soldier form. Obviously, he needs to prepare a way to protect themselves in advance before the situation could turn to the worst. The earlier he is prepared, the better their survival would be.

However, there was still a big chance for them to avoid that from really happening.

The destruction happening right now was obviously caused by the fight between the Sandstone Lord Spider against the Beast Lord Cave Lizard. So, once they solved that problem, everything here would also be over.. Of course, not everything, but at least they would be able to stop the destruction of this place.
