The moment Osborne carried both Leo and Elmont on his shoulder, the two immediately noticed a significant increase in their speed. If before their speed was only as fast as a Magical Beast Rabbit, then they are like a Magical Beast Cheetah this time. It is basically far in comparison to before. 

It was at this moment that they finally realized just how badly they were holding back Osborne before. Supposed that they have let Osborne move on his own during their journey to the northwest, in that case, he would have definitely reached his destination within a span of an hour or more, even if it was raining or snowing.

With that in mind, both Leo and Elmont can't help feeling ashamed. 

"As expected of someone from the Orc race. Not only are they strong, but their physical fitness is beyond ordinary measures as well," Leo complimented. 

"Yeah! We people of the Elf race can't even hope to compare to them," Elmont added. 

"Not really. As far as I know, the Orc race is only strong when it comes to anything related to physical. But when it comes to other stuff, we also can't be compared to other Foreign races as well," Osborne humbly responded. 

Quickly realizing that their conversation is not going anywhere, Leo said, "Let's end all of these pleasantries and focus more on getting away from this place as soon as possible,"

"Same thought," Elmont nodded his head in agreement. 

"Okay," Osborne acknowledged.

With that being said, Leo and the others continued with their journey towards the center of the map. 

Along the way, they have occasionally encountered a few groups of Vine-arm Chimpanzees, which Leo simply scared by killing the leader of their group. This was something that he had learned after their first experience with fighting against them. As long as the leader is killed, the rest would quickly disperse to look for another leader. 

The leader of the group of Vine-arm Chimpanzees would always stay at the back; thus, it wasn't difficult for Leo to find them. In addition to that, he also has the assistance of his Wind Elementals.

From time to time, probably due to luck, they had found some chests containing some needed items hidden in not so difficult to find areas. And as they continued going deeper and deeper to the center of the map, they noticed that the items became increasingly more useful and powerful. From merely metal and steel weapons, they started finding themselves with weapons made out of Magical materials, like Magic iron, Magic crystals, and the best they have found so far, mithril. This also doesn't only limit weapons but includes armors, equipment, and many other tools as well.

Not long after, the three of them were finally able to equip themselves with enough useful and powerful items. With all of their current items, no matter what obstacle is thrown at them, they would surely be able to handle them as long as they don't get careless. 

"If only we knew about this from the start, then we would have just went straight to the center of the map instead of troubling ourselves in looking for other players," Leo regretfully remarked. The items they have found this time are far greater compared to the previous items they have found inside those chests previously and those items that they have stolen from the two Elves that they have eliminated. 

"This is my fault. I forgot to ask my two sisters how they planned to arrange the Survival Games. If only I knew about this, then we wouldn't have a need to face a problem concerning our lack of items," Elmont heave a sigh of resignation. 

"Didn't we already passed the episode of blaming each other?" Osborne can't help but ask. 

"You're absolutely correct!" Elmont said in delight. 

"Regardless, we still have to face another pressing matter," Leo didn't hesitate to inform them of the bad news. 

"What is it this time?" Elmont asked with his arms crossed in front of his chest, expressing his irritation at Leo for always ruining their mood. He explained, "We have already crossed the thirty square kilometers range of the barrier, and though we know for certain that the avalanche wouldn't just simply stop there, we should still be considered as safe now that we are already closely approaching in the area just twenty kilometers away from the center of the map,"

"As long as we continue with this phase that we are moving right now, then it wouldn't take long for us to finally reach the area only ten kilometers away from the center. By that time, even if the avalanche gushed forth beyond our expected twenty kilometers from where the barrier would stop, there's still no doubt that it won't reach us,"

"So, I really wonder what is wrong this time? Or maybe perhaps there is actually something wrong with you instead?" Elmont stared at Leo in a bit of hate. In his mind, he thought, "Can't he not, just for once, let them enjoy a moment of delight? Rather than constantly giving them bad news after another?"

Seeing Elmont's reaction, Leo didn't bother getting angry as he completely understood what he felt. But despite that, they still need to know what he knew about. Thus, he started explaining, "It is no longer related to the avalanche this time. Rather, it is about the items,"

"The items?" Osborne doubtfully asked. 

Leo continued, "As you have already noticed, we have been finding ourselves with really useful and powerful items at this point in time. Needless to say, this certainly doesn't only happen to us, but also to the other players of the Survival Games as well. Now with that in mind, once we exclude the avalanche still far behind us, we would be facing against other players who are well equipped similar to us,"

"Hmph! That's not a big of a problem at all. After all, there are three of us, while not all of the remaining players are part of an alliance," Elmont scoffed in response. 

"Oh, that's where you are wrong," Leo sneered.
