The center of the territory took three hours to reach.
They found the other four hunters along the way.
All like Bertold — conscious, immobile, trapped in root cages or simply anchored to the ground with no visible reason. All with their systems active, their A-ranks intact, without damage.
The fourth watched them arrive with an expression that showed his loss of hope.
"Are there more behind you?" he said.
"No," Kai said.
The hunter looked north.
"Then it comes from the center."

[DraconicLegacy]: five found. all five like Bertold. conscious. waiting.
[Stephen_Summers]: "are there more behind you?" — he's been waiting nine days for anything.
[Warwolf]: ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ the terrain responding differently every hundred meters. the territory alive. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
[Martijn_Wiersma]: "it comes from the center" said by someone who's been staring in that direction for nine days.
[Bangsund]: five A-rank hunters. seventeen total. where are the other twelve?
