Leo really can't believe just how fast things had changed the moment he stepped onto the stage. Earlier ago, he was still marveling in delight while observing the Victory Arena, yet now he is feeling really irritated, depressed, frustrated, and many more other similar emotions all at once.
Although he wants to blame Elmont for this stupid plan, he knows for certain that all he wanted to do from the start was to help them. The only problem was, he didn't think thoroughly, and as a result, it ended up backfiring on them.
"Nevermind that, let's just do what we can to win the fourth game," Leo could only heave a sigh of helplessness. Since it was already here, all they got to do was accept it and move forward, regardless of how difficult it was.
"I am sorry..." Elmont muttered before bowing his head towards Leo and Osborne.
"It's alright. At least we still have each other to rely on," Osborne said in comfort.
"I'll make it up to the both of you later after the Emerald Elven Battle Competition is over," Elmont thumped his left chest to express his sincerity.
"Save that for later. As for now," Leo pointed to the sky.
Looking up, the three of them immediately saw Princess Tifa and Princess Tila on their respective flying podiums. At this moment, their introduction of the fourth game 'Survival Games' is finally coming to its end.
As expected...
"I can see that all the 25 players from the remaining 25 teams are now all present on the stage right now. So it is now time!" Princess Tifa suddenly turned to look at Princess Tila.
"Indeed, it is now time!" Princess Tila nodded in agreement to Princess Tifa, as the two of them went to hold each other's hands.
Right after, Princess Tifa and Princess Tila turned to look at the spectator stands in a cute and adorable manner and said in unison, "...To begin the fourth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition!"
In the next moment, the barrier behind Leo and all the participants in the arena harden like a piece of steel. Right now, it is next to impossible for any of them to leave the arena, and their only way out is to either get eliminated or to eliminate 15 players in order to only have 10 participants remaining. These 10 remaining participants are the required amount of participants for the final game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition to begin.
"Let's forget about spreading out to look for more chests since that is no different from looking together. As soon as the fourth game starts, we will immediately stick together and move! As for whatever happens next, we could only adapt when it comes," Leo informed Elmont and Osborne.
"Understood!" Elmont nodded his head.
"You got it, Guild Leader Loki," Osborne said with a salute.
"3...!"
"2...!"
"1...!
"Begin!" Both Princess Tifa and Princess Tila announced.
With that being said, all the 25 players on the stage quickly started moving to look for the chests spread all over the map.
Everyone is more than aware of the knowledge that only by finding those chests hidden inconspicuously all over the map could they have a fighting chance to defend themselves and not get eliminated in the fourth game. And in that case, move up to the final game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition and have the opportunity to be crowned as the champion.
This includes Leo, Elmont, and Osborne...
Just like what they have planned from the start, Leo, Elmont, and Osborne meet at the center before commencing to look for the chest.
As the three of them were only a hundred or more meters of distance away from each other, hence it didn't take that long for them to converge.
Surprisingly, not long after they started moving, the three of them quickly found their first-ever chest.
This chest wasn't hidden in an inconspicuous location but was instead just placed right in an open area where it is impossible for anyone to not see. As if that wasn't yet enough to assure that all the players would really be able to find this chest, a few torches were surrounding it, making it seem like lighting up the spotlight for the chest.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely think they are lucky enough to quickly stumble upon a chest just after traveling for a few tens of meters of distance. But contrary to them, Leo and the others knew long before that this chest was nothing more than the bonus chest.
Honestly, there isn't really that much to expect from this bonus chest. As a matter of fact, it could even be found anywhere a player goes. The reason for that is because these so-called bonus chests had just been placed deliberately by those Mages, who had been appearing in the previous three games, in their respective locations after the players had chosen the direction where they wanted to go. And inside these bonus chests are just some items that could help the players get a bit of a head start in the fourth game. In simple terms, the basic items.
As soon as Leo and the others found the bonus chest, they quickly opened it up and grabbed all the items inside.
Unlike the majority of the players' bonus chest, though, the content of Leo and the other's bonus chest is enough for three players to use. This was obviously because the three of them are together and are also moving in the same direction.
Inside the bonus chest; there were only three empty water canteens, three daggers, three leather backpacks, three small sacks of dried rations, three ropes with grappling hooks, three medicine kits that contain basic medical supplies, and three extra clothes, pants, and shoes.
"Fair enough," Leo said before grabbing his share of the items and distributing the rest to Elmont and Osborne.
As soon as they emptied the bonus chest, they immediately went to look for more chests. Otherwise, they would face a lot of trouble later on.
Unfortunately, even after tens of minutes had passed in searching from high, low, and under, they still weren't able to find any more chest. This finally proves that the other chest is actually not as easy to find compared to the bonus chest that they have found earlier ago.
