Chapter 116: B2: C16: I’m Him 2
Zarian had spiders nearly everywhere around Ride-or-Die Village. Even when there was too much distance for him to receive pings or observe through an individual spider, the spiders could act without him.
Their primary objective was to serve as scouting backup for the two hundred and eighty-nine youngsters who were the core members of the Ride-or-Die Guild.
Zarian and his fellow Floridians hadn’t opened up to the guild for more members yet, since they were still focused on the development of the youngsters. That didn’t mean the spiders wouldn’t help foreigners and visitors in need, but the spiders had their top priorities set on guild members.
Now that he was in the area, he could feel ping alerts much easier, although he’d felt them even from as far out as the Blood Prairies. Spectral Spider Network +2 was indeed a vast improvement, especially when it was a mainstay in his alpha skill section.
Zarian shifted his observation to the most pressing alerts.
To the south of Ride-or-Die Village, a patrol of fifteen girls and boys came across forty ragged looking men. Zarian entered a spider that was one of several in the area who were monitoring the event.
The spiders sent updates to key personnel back at the village and other patrols outside of the village. There was one spider sitting on a girl’s shoulder, which Zarian also patched into for multiple point-of-views, something his Fractured Mind could handle easily.
Zarian recognized Eleanor Sawyer as the one leading the teenage patrol. The sixteen-year-old with a brown ponytail and high cheekbones had a rare class like the other kiddos.
While she was Level 42, which was at the lower end among the boys and girls, the Star System had deemed her exceptional upon her First Class Advancement. She’d gained an extra free point.
