Chapter 39

The starship carried a team of members and successfully returned to the Dark Blade Base from the mission galaxy.

Yan Xuanjin submitted a summary of the mission on his way back, and soon received an interview request from the military.

So after he got off the starship, he immediately went to the reception room - of course not to entertain them, but to question them.

"I heard that the Dark Blade Team brought back a male insect body on this mission..." As soon as Yan Xuanjin came in, a thin and extraordinary elder in the reception room was the first to stand up.

Yan Xuanjin didn't even look at him, but just picked up a chair and sat in the middle of the reception room.

"Hello everyone," he said, but his expression was filled with anger. After all, anyone would be upset if they were tricked. "Since you all know so much about our mission, I'm sure you've discussed it with each other here, right?"

Yan Xuanjin's pair of yellow-green eyes swept across the entire room. Even the people from the military lowered their heads slightly under such a cold gaze.

"...So, didn't you find anything in the report I submitted?"

"Dark Blade Team One successfully completed the mission without any valid background information provided by the military."

The person sent by the military to inquire this time was Lu Cheng, a colonel like Yan Xuanjin. He read out the exact words written in black and white in Yan Xuanjin's report and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Ha, what do you mean?" Yan Xuanjin laughed sarcastically and replied bluntly, "Since the military has already detected traces of Zerg on the mission planet, it must have been surveyed by a guide. The Zerg value their territory very much and will attack if they sense an intrusion. And among the Zerg, only males have the ability to attack mentally... Why wasn't such important information disclosed to me in the mission background information? Not to mention the venom-corroded grass at the cave entrance. Any guide who knows how to use the guidance element can discover this. Why wasn't it downloaded into the background information?"

Lu Cheng pursed his lips and replied, "The traces of Zerg presence detected by the military are not in the places you explored, but are similar to Zerg footprints."

"Then let me ask you, how did you find the traces?" Yan Xuanjin seemed to have heard something very funny. He leaned forward slightly, raised his head, and his wolf eyes avoided the other party's military cap and met the other pair of eyes directly.

"...guiding element and mental power assist in the exploration."

"Oh." Yan Xuanjin raised an eyebrow, stood up straight again, and looked at the people around him waiting to watch the excitement. "The trace address provided by your military is less than 50 meters away from the cave entrance... Your military guide's guidance element only has a range of 50 meters?"

Lu Cheng's face looked very ugly. He wanted to say something in response, but was interrupted by Yan Xuanjin's next words.

"Oh, I forgot. Your military's A-level guides seem to be counted on one hand. But even for B-level guides, the search range is two to three hundred meters." Yan Xuanjin laughed, revealing his sharp fangs. "How interesting."

Lu Cheng stood aside silently without saying a word.

"What else? Tell me quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man stood up, bowed to Yan Xuanjin, handed him an invitation, and said, "Colonel Yan Xuanjin, the Second Prince has ordered you to enter the palace on the 8th."

Yan Xuanjin took a quick glance and accepted it because he had a good relationship with the Second Prince in the past. He thought silently in his heart: It's the interstellar age now, why are these royal family members still living such an outdated life?
