Three hours later, Vicente and his group would encounter groups of insects on the path he had chosen.
As expected, they encountered a large number of 2nd stage beings, many insects between levels 1 and 5.
But none of them were a match for Vicente. Halfway to the group's current position, he had wiped out his targets, while for the rest of the way, his men and the teachers acted on their own to prevent him from exhausting himself.
There were no 3rd stage insects in that area, something the group had expected. As the beings who wanted to steal the yellow pentagram from the woodpeckers, it was obvious that the insect coalition of the Alpine Woodpecker Forest didn't have anyone to oppose the region's leaders.
That made it easier for Vicente's group to follow their path through the area. However, as they advanced and saw lower creatures in their path, the group began to notice signs that might indicate the location of their group's possible survivors.
