Chapter266-The Ancient Ruins

Owen's gaze flickered.

The Ancient Ruins were perilously dangerous, with many of the Sanctuary's elders never returning from their ventures.

After pondering for a moment, Owen looked at Anderson and said, "Let's take on this task." 

Despite the high risk associated with this mission, it wasn't entirely a death sentence.

The task merely required investigating the cause of an elder's demise, suggesting that with caution, survival was possible.

Moreover, Owen's decision was driven by more than just the inherent danger of the mission.

Since acquiring the life fruit, he had been eager to test the capabilities of his avatar in real combat.

Additionally, he harbored a strong premonition that a significant crisis was imminent.

He needed to ensure Alison and her companions improved their strength before this looming catastrophe, or else they wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder in the face of such adversity.
