Mai''s voice carried a tone of quiet authority as she addressed Xiao Mu. "Little Mu, you''ll stay here," she instructed, her gaze softening slightly.


    "If anything, unusual happens, immediately hide yourself in the location I showed you earlier. Don''t take any risks."


    Despite Xiao Mu unexpectedly awakening and unlocking a talent that many yearn for, she was still very young,ckedbat experience and her level was quite lowpared to the others. Mai wanted to keep her safe.


    Xiao Mu nodded, her young face determined, though there was a hint of worry in his eyes as he watched the team prepare to leave.


    Mai then turned to the rest of the group, her expression returning to its usual seriousness.


    She cast a nce at the truck, now loaded with ammunition and various weapon boxes.


    "Everyone, stay sharp out there. I''ve prepped the gear and ammo, so there shouldn''t be any issues. But if you notice anything out of the ordinary, let me know right away."


    She paused, then continued, "Given that I have the most experience among us, I''ll take the lead on this team. Ram, you''ll be second-inmand since you''re the only one with crowd control abilities."


    She pointed at Ram and continued, "The mission site isn''t far, but given our current means of transport, it''ll take about four to five hours to get there."


    "We''ll likely run into monsters along the way, so be ready to handle them as theye. I''ll go over the attack strategy, our route, and other details while we''re on the move."


    Mai paused for a moment, scanning each face in the group, her eyes sharp and calcting. "But before we head out, I need a detailed ount of yourbat styles, the weapons you prefer, your individual abilities, skills, and any other vital information."


    "I need to know what each of you brings to the table so I can n ordingly. If there are any special tactics or roles you''re used to in a fight, now''s the time to speak up."


    Liam was the first to step forward, his usual cocky grin in ce. "I''m all about closebat, Profession-- Hunter. My specialty is in using Knife skills—they''re quick, lethal, and perfect for slicing through that gets too close."


    "As for abilities, I''ve got enhanced reflexes and speed… Well, there are a lot of trap skills that I can use, although it takes time to arrange them."


    "I''m also pretty handy with small firearms, but I prefer to get up close and personal."


    Ram who was behind, immediately used his spiritual eye to check the attribute of Liam, it''s been a while since he checked itst time and was curious about any changes.


    [Name: Liam, Age: 20/93]


    [Race: Human ]


    [Profession: Tier 2 Hunter (97%)]


    [Physique: 24.4 ]


    [Spirit: 9.4 ]


    [Talent: ???]


    Ram''s eyes widened in surprise. "Huh? Why has his evolutionary degree has jumped so fast? It was only at 11%st time I checked," Ram pondered to himself, as he stared at the holographic disy before him.


    "His physical and spirit attributes have surged. Could this be linked to histent talent?" The more he looked at it, the more confused he became.


    He clearly remembered howzy this guy can be, "It took him over a year and a half to reach Tier 2, and now he''s almost at Tier 3? Did he awaken some powerful ability, like me?"


    "How long has it been one month? Since thest time I saw his attribute panel. Did this asshole suddenly stop beingzy or what? And even if he stopped beingzy how can he improve so fast?"


    He couldn''t pinpoint what had changed, but he suspected it was linked to Liam''s talent.


    "Everyone assumed his talent was just [E-189 Taunt].However, since I have identified talents up to ''A'' grade and below, then his talent must be above ''A'' grade —maybe even S-grade?"


    Regaining hisposure, Ram stepped forward with Ling''er and Groot on his side.


    "As a Spiritual nter, mybat style''s a bit different. I can control nt-based spirits to fight alongside me. Ling''er here helps use mid-range attacks, and together with Thorny, we can create barriers, entangle enemies, or evenunch sharp projectiles."


    "Groot''s good at close-rangebat, defense, and strong attacks."


    "I am also able to engage in closebat when necessary, and I possess a strong ability to recover my injuries and spiritual power," he paused briefly, then added.


    "If Ie across any unique spiritual nts, I would be able to utilize them based on their individual properties."


    Mai nodded, absorbing the information. "Good. A mix of closebat, long-range, and support—this should work well for our mission. Su Mu, what about you?"


    Su Mu, who had been silent, looked up. "Skilled in closebat with high attack power, and proficient in long-range attacks using bows," she said, then fell silent once more.


    Mai looked satisfied with the responses; she already had a good idea of how Sid fights.


    "Alright. We''ve got a solid team with a variety of skills. Here''s the n: You two blockheads, Liam and Sid, you''ll take the lead as our scouts. Keep us informed of any threats up ahead."


    She then turned to Su Mu and said, "You''ll be our frontline, handling any enemies that get too close."


    Finally, she addressed Ram, "And you, Mr. Rookie, will drive the truck and provide support with your wood spirits when necessary."


    "I''ll handle the tech support and manage any unexpected challenges we encounter. I''ll also coordinate our actions and intervene as needed."


    Mai looked around at the group, waiting for any objections. "Any doubts? Speak now."


    The group exchanged nces, each member nodding in agreement with Mai''s n. Sid broke the silence, his voice steady. "No doubts here. We''re ready."


    Mai gave a satisfied nod, then nced at Xiao Mu onest time. "Remember, stay safe and follow the n. We''ll be back as soon as we can."


    Xiao Mu gave a brave smile and a thumbs-up, even though her eyes betrayed her concern. "Good luck, everyone. I''ll be waiting here."


    With the final checkspleted, Mai led the team to the truck. The vehicle, a rugged, heavily modified, and equipped to handle rough terrain and hostile environments.


    Its reinforced frame and advanced tech ensured a smooth ride despite the dangers ahead.
