Patrick then drew his custom-made crossbow to assist Helio. Just as he released the arrow, the scene before him changed again.
Patrick realized he needed to find the person controlling the barrier. He deduced that the controller had to be inside the barrier.
Otherwise, they could not have so precisely blocked his arrow.
Patrick observed his surroundings, then closed his eyes, recalling the map from the mission briefing.
"Nine areas. The most likely location is the center, but that area could move too. If we're moving with the areas... The barrier
control must have a unit, typically centered on the controller and spreading outward. This means there must be situations beyond
their control."
Patrick tried to climb higher but suddenly encountered an invisible wall.
"lI can't go up, huh?" He shot an arrow infused with true energy upward. As expected, it hung eerily in mid-air.
Then, he heard Heshouting, "Patrick! Where are you? I've taken care of everyone!"
Patrick shot an arrow toward the voice. As anticipated, the scene shifted, and his arrow was embedded in a wall.
Remaining calm, Patrick fired another arrow toward the voice. He knew the layout would change again, but that was his plan as

He could sense the true energy fluctuations around them. Counting in his and Helio's locations, only four unexplored areas

Patrick smiled slyly.
Including his three arrows and Helio's position, he was now in the factory's center. With energy signatures from different directions,
the controller would have to physically move to avoid having one or more areas remain stationary in the next shift.
Then, he would discover the barrier controller's location!

The changing areas around him were proof. If the opponents were truly powerful, they could have kept the two wandering
endlessly. Clearly, they were not that skilled.
Patrick threatened, "Surrender! If you cooperate, | might consider using an arrow that kills instantly."
Just then, he detected true energy from his right arrow. He quickly looked up.

Moreover, the height-limiting barrier concealed true energy, indicating a true master. Patrick tossed his crossbow and let himself
be captured.
A moment later, Hecharged through, only finding Patrick's crossbow. He quickly sensed something was wrong.
