It took half an hour to finish their meal. Philip waved his hand and led everyone on their way. The burden was finally lifted from Tory’s shoulders.
Now that everyone was ready to set off, they had no time to lose. Everyone hurried out and registered at the checkpoint.
Aslan was puzzled and asked Tory curiously, “Why do we have to register here? Why is it more troublesome to leave the city than to enter?”
Aslan’s remark aroused Tory’s curiosity. To be honest, favonovel.com had no idea either.
“Maybe they want to keep track of us because we’re going to the ancient ruins,” Tory guessed.
Since they had a mark on them, the sentries could identify them. However, Philip told them to fill in some false information instead of true details.
With Philip’s camouflage pill on hand, no one could recognize them anyway.

Meanwhile, while Philip and the others traveled leisurely, Chaplin and his party arrived at their destination.
They entered the small forest and soon saw the ancient tomb mentioned in the intel.
Due to the previous beast crisis, this forest had been destroyed beyond recognition, which was why the entrance to this ancient tomb was discovered.
Chaplin looked around excitedly and quickly ordered his men to set up traps around the area. He had spent a huge fortune to hire a formation master this time.
“Hurry up and put a formation around this area. We have to reserve this spot before anyone arrives. Any little time we can buy is good,” Chaplin said smugly.
The formation master nodded and quickly got to work.
Very soon, the layout was completed, and they marched into the ancient tomb.
The formation master laid out a killing formation and an illusory formation. The latter was not very effective and could only trap the victim for a while, but it was useful for buying time.
People arrived one after another. They looked around but saw no signs of an ancient tomb.
“Damn it, is it a scam?”
“Impossible, the Imperial List would never trick us!”
While they searched and grumbled in confusion, someone entered the killing formation.
“Oh no, this area is surrounded by formations. Damn it, I just knew it wouldn’tbe that easy. This may be the legendary ancient ruin, after all!”
“Don’t panic, and stay in your positions. We have to destroy this formation!”
Even those who did not understand formations knew they could destroy them with brute force, so everyone attacked the formation frantically with their weapons. They could escape if they were lucky enough to hit the eye of the formation.
When Philip and his party arrived, they saw a bunch of people banging around in desperation.
Tory was confused and wondered what they were up to.
“Have these people gone mad before they entered the ancient ruins?” Tory muttered under his breath.
