Andrew's retreating team suddenly stopped when they noticed the intensity of the heat suddenly plummeted. "This?" Andrew looked at his companions with surprise. "Something strange is going on here. Let's continue. It's not time to hesitate." The elder giant said as he knew what Andrew was thinking. At this moment, the other giant suddenly exclaimed, "Vice Chairman, Fifth Elder, look, I think that's a group of people!" Both of them quickly looked in the pointed direction with surprise, and they all spotted a group of at least 50 people a few hundred meters away from them. And that group was coming in their direction, which meant they also noticed them. "Is that Fire Tyrant, ranked 9th in our alliance?" Fifth Elder spoke with a hint of ecstasy. Andrew smiled faintly, clearly happy to see this person, and nodded, "Indeed, but why did he enter so early? Weren't they supposed to come here after someone exited this place? Did someone succeed?" Without hesitation, those three quickly approached the ground. In the distance, another Flame Iron Giant with a bulky build and two battle axes attached to his gray armor led a large group of three hegemonies, smiling at Andrew. This menacing giant was the Fire Tyrant of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance and ranked 9th in the power ranking of the Alliance. "Vice Chairman! I never thought you would be in this hell." Fire Tyrant laughed gladly as he gave Andrew a bear hug. They were both fellow tribesman and had an amiable relationship with each other. "Hahaha, said the person who likes hell more than paradise!" Andrew laughed heartedly. The group behind Fire Tyrant was looking at Andrew with great respect as they all knew about the legendary Vice Chairman of the alliance. Rumor has it that his power was only second to the Alliance Charmin Gunnar, and he volunteered to enter this place as a vanguard. Fire Tyrant stepped back and grinned at Fifth Elder, "Old man, it seemed you still have a death wish, huh?" Fifth Elder sneered, "I'm still stronger than you, snot nose brat." "Hah, as fearsome as ever." Fire Tyrant laughed. "Stop your yapping, tell me, who comes out?" Andrew asked as his expression turned serious. Fire Tyrant's jolly expression turned stern as he said, "No one comes out. But we got the information about Faceless Ancient thanks to Princess. Right now, Chairman Gunnar and President Nelsen have entered themselves to ensure that guy won't cause any more trouble. But because of our limited resources, we can't contact them. Only three people have given a way to make contact with them, and we need to find them." Andrew and others were startled when they heard this unexpected news and sighed in relief when they heard the outside was aware of Faceless Ancient. Then they started asking questions about how they made contact, and Fire Tyrant began to fill them in and showed them a vermin transponder, and they finally understood what was happening. "Although I'm glad this all went well. But the little princess is too reckless to enter this place. What would happen to her if Faceless Ancient acted against her?" The Fifth Elder frowned unhappily, and a hint of worry was present in his voice. Andrew pursed his lips, "She's indeed reckless. I expect nothing less from the little princess. Still, if not for her, we might all have been screwed. Let's find the Chairman. I'm sure he will find the princess first, and Faceless Ancient might be lying low for now." Fire Tyrant shook his head and sternly and unexpectedly said, "No, according to President Nelsen, this trial might be about hunting beasts. Before coming here, he predicted that the shackle would only break after a beast trapped in an ice tower was killed or it had something to do with the tower's destruction. "The princess even confirmed it herself, and after coming here, he said to look for such structures, and if there are more beasts trapped there, then this trial is about either killing the trapped beasts or destroying those structures." Andrew and his two companions looked at each other, which shocked and a hint of realization. Fire Tyrant, at this moment, looked at the horizon where the silhouette of a pyramid was apparent and said with a sigh, "I have to admit, President Nelsen's guess was spot on, and I think you knew what I'm talking about." Andrew's expression went cold as he nodded, "Indeed, we are coming from that pyramid direction, and we can also confirm something ghastly is trapped in there. But we decided to retreat because whatever was trapped inside was way above our league. "However, if what President Nelsen asserted is true, then we have to kill that beast and destroy that pyramid before Faceless Ancient or dark beings do. Furthermore, for some reason, the golden scorpions hadn't attacked us in three days while the temperature of this place had dramatically reduced. "So, I think something might be happening with the beast inside the pyramid. If you're willing to take the risk, we should return." Fire Tyrant showed a deep frown; this time, the Fifth Elder didn't try to stop any of it because this matter was grave. "Alright, let's go. If we can't enter it, then no one else can. We'll then try to regroup with the Chairman. Only he can handle high-intensity fire among all the people in the epic plains." Suggested Fire Tyrant. Andrew and others nodded, and they all headed back to the pyramid. Two days passed, and Jacob was already done learning 12 more abilities, and right now, he had 14 magic abilities. The more powerful the ability, the more rectified stars one needed to form the Star Magic Formations. He had five water-type magic abilities, including those in universal scripture, one cursed, four enhanced, and four fire types. He still has 28 rectified stars left in his fire core, but he saved them for Inferno Flames ability from the Aura of Fire Knight. Any element-type ability can only be formed in the same element magic core, with the only exception being enhancement-type abilities. That's why Jacob can only use magic abilities related to his elements. Just like that, one more day passed, and Jacob was finally done preparing and started his journey again!
