Chapter 32

On the other side, the snow cat and the cheetah quickly went down the mountain after receiving the order, and successfully met up with the hummingbird, Puya and black wolf who had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone was silent, looking towards Yan Xuanjin. Their spirits also crouched quietly to the side. Snow Cat, however, stood alone, eyes closed, seemingly doing something unsettling. He looked a bit worrying.

Cheetah was impatient and couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere. He looked at Yan Xuanjin and asked him about his next plan: "What should we do next?"

Yan Xuanjin thought for a moment and was about to say something when he heard a voice in his ears - Xuemao opened a private channel.

"Black Wolf, I think... the feeling I just felt is very similar to the person we met on the street last time."

Yan Xuanjin couldn't even remember who Ling Yun was referring to. He paused for a moment, then his face quickly darkened and he asked, "Are you sure?"

“Sure, there are slight differences, but the similarity is over 80%.”

Thinking of their previous encounter, the missing identity chip on the other party's left arm, and the subsequent investigation into the other party's progress which had almost stagnated, Yan Xuanjin frowned and had to re-evaluate his next plan.

"Next, Puya and Fengniao, as you ascend, have your spirits disguise themselves as ordinary plants and animals, approach the area, and survey the terrain. The rest of you, after you ascend, retract your spirits, mental power, and guidance elements. Be wary of mental attacks, lie low, and await their reports. Be prepared to provide support at all times."

"yes!"

The five people moved very quietly, walked very slowly, and approached the area step by step very steadily.

Hummingbird and Puya took the lead.

Puya's spirit body diligently grew branches, quietly blending in among the bushes, using the cover of other plants to quickly approach the land. Due to the contribution of the spirit body and the master's vision, the newly grown stems could not reach a high enough height. Therefore, Puya stopped releasing spiritual energy from the sparse brush, allowing his spirit body to disguise itself as a normal plant.

Next, the hummingbird released its spirit body. It imitated an ordinary bird and, under the pretext of sucking Puya nectar, shuttled through the bushes and approached its target.

She instructed the hummingbird to fly into the air, using the dense branches of the bushes to shield its body, and landed on a branch.

Then it discovered that the land in front of it was very normal, basically no different from the surrounding grass.

What is going on?

The hummingbird immediately reported what the spirit body had discovered and requested instructions for the next course of action.

Yan Xuanjin remained silent, feeling a strange sense of unease. He had originally planned to have the two retreat directly, but Xuemao suddenly said, "How about using the guide element to check?"

The hummingbird was stunned for a moment, then it seemed to make some sense.

But... if she did that, her spirit would be completely exposed. If it was just exposed, it would be fine, but she had to admit that if she used the guiding element, it would likely cause a violent reaction from those unknown creatures.

She was a little hesitant, so she looked at Yan Xuanjin again.

Yan Xuanjin was also silent. As a captain, he shouldn't have approved Snow Cat's impulsive proposal, but... his intuition told him the same answer as Snow Cat had just proposed - since that kind of creature was extremely sensitive to the guide's guide element, and could even connect with and attack the guide element, then it could be basically confirmed that the guide element was also capable of attacking that kind of creature, and the two had similarities at the genetic level.

In the current situation, using the guide element to test is probably the most effective method.

"Cheetah, have your spirit form sneak over there as well. Once you're there, Hummingbird will use the guidance element to quickly determine the terrain. If there's any movement, Hummingbird will immediately retract its spirit form. If the enemy is small in number, Puya and Cheetah will attempt to attack while ensuring safety."
