Elmont was immediately rendered stupefied after hearing Osborne's suggestion. After all the things that he had just said, everything merely ended with them being able to choose whatever they wanted. In that case, what was the use of him explaining all of those?!

Obviously, Elmont's explanation was what had helped Osborne thought of his question. The only problem is that Elmont is too absorbed with his thoughts at the moment that he cannot think of that. 

"Good job, Osborne!" Leo gave a thumbs up to Osborne, immediately causing the latter's face to redden in embarrassment. 

With a stiff smile on his face, Elmont said, "A... as expected of the person assigned by Guild Leader Orcborg to lead the team from the Red Fist Guild,"

"It was nothing, really," Osborne replied humbly. Truthfully speaking, it was indeed nothing since it was because of Elmont from the start why he was able to come up with that idea. 

Grabbing a stick from the ground, Leo then said, "Then how about we let Fate decide which direction we should choose?"

"Sounds fair to me," Elmont nodded his head. Just like what Osborne had said a while ago, whether they choose the northwest or southwest, they would still end up facing the same exact problems. Therefore, why bother on which direction is correct.

"Okay," Osborne also agreed. 

"Wherever the sharp end of the stick is pointing towards, we will go to that direction. Are we clear?" Leo asked, which both Elmont and Osborne nodded in unison.

In the next moment, Leo threw the stick high up in the air. After reaching a few meters above, the stick started slowly falling down. Not long after, the stick finally landed on the ground.

Looking closely to the sharp end of the stick, it was pointing to the northwest direction. 

"It seems like Fate wants us to go to the northwest," Leo said, as he then asked, "So, shall we go now?"

"Absolutely! I can't wait anymore to fight with the other players!" Elmont expressed his eagerness. Indeed, he can't wait anymore since he needs to release his suppressed displeasure and disappointment to himself as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be in a bad mood all day long. As a battle fanatic, this is his way of releasing his pent-up emotions.

"Me too!" Osborne also thought the same as Elmont. But contrary to the latter, it is a natural trait for the people of the Orc race to always be eager when it comes to fighting. As a matter of fact, the Orc's territories are always ruled by the strongest, not the smartest. In their opinion, only the strongest Orc has the right to become the ruler of the other Orcs since only the strong are worthy of following. 

"Okay, let's go!" Leo said before starting to lead the way to the northwest.

Unbeknownst to Elmont and Osborne, though, it was truly and literally Fate itself that had decided that they should go to the northwest. 

A while ago, as Leo was reaching his hand to pick up the stick on the ground, he had simultaneously activated his unique capability to see the String of Fate. And it was exactly at that moment that he had noticed the two eye-catching black-colored Strings of Fate pointing towards the northwest. 

Seeing those two black-colored Strings of Fate, there was no need for Leo to contemplate any further. He immediately chooses to go to the northwest. 

And with that in mind, before Leo threw the stick, he had secretly added his own Mana on it so that he could control the direction where the sharp end of the stick would point towards once it landed on the ground. 

While moving to the northwest, Leo and the others luckily found a few chests hidden on some extremely inconspicuous corners. Like for example, covered by a stack of leaves, under the root of a tree, and inside a rock with only a small gap to reveal a portion of it. 

Considering the locations of the chests, it is no longer a wonder why they still didn't find a single chest even after searching for ten minutes or more before. 

Nevertheless, the number of items they got was still not enough. The exact reason for that is because all the chests that they have found only contain a minimum of three items and a maximum of five items.

Honestly, this would have been fine if there was only one person. But in their case right now, they are a group made up of three people. Meaning to say they need to share all items that they have found.

In the end, the three of them still barely have enough items in their respective arsenals. 

An hour quickly passed, and with the speed that Leo and the others were moving, they easily covered a quarter of the distance to their destination, specifically twenty-five kilometers or more. It wasn't considered a lot, but it can't also be labeled as lacking. To describe it appropriately, it is good enough.

Technically speaking, with their speed right now, it would take more or less three hours before they could finally reach their destination. Even then, they still need to spend more time moving around from place to place in order to locate other players. 

Although, by that time, it wouldn't be that difficult anymore to look for other players. As long as they deliberately make loud enough noises, then the nearby players would likely be lured towards their location. This is because there is a very high probability that the other players are still nearby and haven't yet traveled a far distance away from where they have first entered the stage, especially taking into consideration that this is still the early stage of the Survival Games. 

The perfect time for players to move anywhere around the map is in the middle stage or late stage because at that moment, the hosts of the fourth game would no doubt be throwing more and more obstacles to eliminate and reduce the player's number. 

Speaking about obstacles...

As soon as an hour had passed, the first obstacle from the hosts was finally going to appear. 

"An hour has finally passed in the Survival Games! And as expected, not even a single player has been eliminated yet," Princess Tifa said, strangely sounding really disappointed.

"Unfortunately for them, that wouldn't last for long!" Princess Tila added with a smirk on her face. She then quickly continued, "First, let's reduce the map for..." She turned to look at Princess Tifa and asked, "By how much do you think, sister Tifa?"

"Let's start with... twenty-five kilometers!" Princess Tifa decided. 

"I also thought the same!" Princess Tila unhesitatingly agreed.
