Only Bing Hei on my squad, and two members of Jiaojin's squad, lacked a usable weapon now. I turned out to be the only one to receive a weapon from the tablet puzzle, an interesting bit of luck. The others had to gain theirs from more physically intense challenges. Anyway, since we were quite capable of keeping others out of the ruins, the others had to search further and wider for weapon drops. It would be foolish in the extreme for them to try to contest us without gaining weapons themselves.
Still, traveling very far very fast was no problem for a Spirit Rank cultivator. I had a sword, but I really wanted to find a bow before we were attacked. To that end, to start our second day at the ruins, I began to explore the main building. Since Shokoya was armed now, he took over sentry duty, and Chen Huan came with me.
