Xu Hongchang turned to look at Chen Erniu, "You kid, how did you find this place?"

Chen Erniu awkwardly touched his nose, "I tripped over it while dodging the planes. I just went to check, and it's that thing. The Japanese buried it in the ground."

"Dig it out and take it with you."

"Okay!"

The two teams joined together, now numbering over a dozen people. They divided the work among themselves, with Sun Jinan, Wang Ming, and Zhao Fei working together to carry a large, trimmed tree to build a bridge. Chen Erniu happened to see this scene when he returned with the radio.

"Wow, you guys are really strong."

Zhao Fei and the others raised their chins. "What's wrong, Lao Chen? Don't tell me you guys can't handle it."

Chen Erniu was speechless. How could he possibly explain this? They really couldn't understand it. He turned to look at Bu Mancang, who was just approaching, and Bu Mancang's eyes were also filled with disbelief.

"you..."

Sun Jinan noticed, and the men worked together to lift the log to the other side. Then Sun Jinan clapped his hands, "What's wrong, Mancang? You can't lift it?"

Sun Jinan had an idea in mind, and he wanted to test it. Bu Mancang nodded without hesitation, "Yes, with this kind of wood, I feel that if all six of us go, it should be about right."

"Hehe!" Sun Jinan laughed, his eyes filled with smugness along with the other two.

Bu Mancang frowned slightly. "Old Sun, we used to be about the same strength, right? How did you get this strong?"

Sun Jinan and the others' smiles froze on their faces. They'd gotten a little too cocky. They'd agreed not to tell anyone. How could they have forgotten?

Sun Jinan lowered his head in frustration, unsure how to explain. Wang Ming opened his mouth; they hadn't coordinated their statements before, and now that he was being questioned, he thought for a moment, "We've been traveling a lot lately, so the food in the Qinling Mountains must have been too good."

Tang Shengkai overheard their conversation and saw Xu Hongchang and Chang Yin walking over as well. They must have already informed the troops of the current situation, and now it was time to continue their journey.

The troops will contact the others who have entered the mountains.

Tang Shengkai thought that since his daughter had already agreed, he might as well tell everyone now. They were all in the Qinling Mountains, where the spiritual energy was abundant, and perhaps some of them could directly advance to the first level of Qi Refining.

Chen Erniu and Bu Mancang noticed that Sun Jinan and the others were being somewhat evasive. They knew perfectly well that they were hiding something from them. However, they weren't from the same battalion, so it was normal for them not to want to share any training secrets with them.

Just then, Tang Shengkai's voice came over. "Battalion Commander, I have something to tell everyone."
