After a long moment of silence as this sunk in, Wang Rong was the one that broke the silence in the end. "Is there a point in thinking about this? Even if it's possible, it isn't as if it's going to happen right away. Not to mention that there are all those powerful people back home, so it's not as if the Abyss Demons will be able to invade that easily." He did what he could to raise everyone's moods and in the end, it worked. After all, what he said was correct. It wasn't as if just because this was a possibility meant that it would happen. Even if they had failed to stop the invasion of the Abyss Demons, that didn't mean that we as humans would. And the best way to guarantee that was to find out as much as possible about this world that fell to the Abyss Demons. Only by learning as much as possible would we be able to know what to do to prevent the Abyss Demons from succeeding in their invasion. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only with knowledge would we be able to do something against the Abyss Demons. "But what's the move now?" I said with a sigh. This time, neither of them said a thing in response. That was because neither of them actually had anything that they could say in response. The two of them were just as clueless about this place as I was, so it wasn't as if there was anything that they could actually say. I shook my head and gave another sigh when I saw this, but then I said, "For now, should we choose a side?" "Huh?" The two of them were both caught off guard by this before revealing confused looks. It was clear that they had no idea what I was talking about when I said this, but I didn't blame them since I also didn't have an idea either. This was just something that I had said, almost as if it was on a whim. Even if I said this, I didn't really know what I meant by taking a side. After all, would it be possible to choose a side in this conflict? This was a dungeon and these sand people might be those that had lost to the invasion of the Abyss Demons, but they were now just part of the dungeon. It was unknown if they even had enough intelligence that we would be able to cooperate with them. And as for the Abyss Demon, it was impossible for us to actually cooperate with them. So it was only natural that they were confused by what I said. "I know what you're thinking, but there's nothing that we'll gain from just sitting here doing nothing. At the same time, there might be a chance that they might have enough intelligence to actually talk to us. It's at least worth giving it a try." I didn't have any confidence on my face as I said this. After all, I knew that it was unlikely that this would be the case. The two of them naturally had their doubts as well, but it didn't seem like they were going to say anything to reject what I said. It wasn't that they thought that this would work, it was just that they couldn't think of a better answer than this. So they followed me as I turned back around to look at the sand people. Even though it was clear that the Astral White Tiger wanted to push forward, we didn't go any further as we watched the fight between the sand people and the Abyss Demon. With our position on this sand dune, we were able to see quite a few things. With this position, I was able to pick out the camp of the sand people. That should be the place where we would be able to find someone to talk to. Though it wasn't as if we could just walk into the camp. Instead, we moved to another sand dune that was near the camp of the sand people and I turned to look at the Echo Bat. The Echo Bat gave a nod before opening its mouth. As soon as the Echo Bat did this, some of the sand people inside of the camp suddenly froze. With the way that they stood there, it was as if they had fallen under some kind of daze. Then they started walking out of the camp. The direction that they were heading in was the sand dune that we were currently standing on. Though these sand people walked out of the camp, it didn't seem like any of the other sand people were planning on stopping them. It almost seemed like they were trapped in what they were doing with the way that they ignored them. After a few minutes, there was a group of sand people that were standing there in a daze in front of us. It didn't seem like they had any awareness at all with the blank looks that were in their eyes. It really seemed like they had been put in some kind of trance with the way that they stood there. Though that was because they had been put in a trance. I turned to look at Wang Rong and Iris and the two of them nodded before moving away. They moved back enough that they were no longer in sight, but I knew that they were ready to make a move in case something happened. "I want to talk to you." I said as I had the Echo Bat release the hypnosis on the sand people. They slowly came back to their senses and as they did, they looked at me with a strange look. It was as if they were seeing me for the first time, though that was true to a certain extent since they had been mind controlled until now. "You're a visitor from another world?" One of them suddenly asked. I gave a slow nod in response to this. "Hero from another world, please save us." That was what they all said before suddenly falling to their knees.
