Chapter 733 Traces
Xu Chan's team had encountered indigenous gathering places before, but the danger level of this unknown area was obviously several levels higher than that of the outside. How could there be a gathering place here?
He immediately thought that this was definitely not a simple gathering place.
He asked, "Have the people in the camp discovered us?"
"We found out, and it was their people who took the initiative to contact us."
Xu Chan said in a deep voice: "Tell me the details."
The investigator explained that through the previous contact, he learned that the other party was not a simple gathering place of indigenous people. The people inside came from various places. The main group of them were those who were wanted by the old imperial family and escaped. There were also some deserters who were once the Dashun garrison, and the rest were the indigenous people here.
These people said they were familiar with the surrounding geographical environment and were willing to provide them with what they needed or provide some other help, but they also needed some tools and supplies brought by the team.
Xu Chan thought about it and said decisively: "Whatever they want, we will give them what we can."
He instinctively felt that these people were not as simple as he said, but as long as they did not show hostility, there was no need to worry about them, even if there might be Dashun's wanted criminals among them.
After all, these people have been here for a long time. If we can get their guidance, it will be much easier to move around here, and maybe there will really be a way to get rid of the enemies behind us.
In short, everything is based on getting the lost items, and nothing else matters.
However, whether it is the other party or yourself, the prerequisite for the transaction is to have a certain amount of military force. Without military force as a guarantee, you are just packing yourself up and giving yourself to others.
At this moment, on the other side, the Thunder Twins returned to their starting point with the blood diamond. However, unlike when they left, the surrounding trees seemed to have been flattened. A large number of personnel from the United Land seemed to be searching and checking something. Seeing them come back, the surrounding security personnel stood still.
Svia ignored the other people here and asked a young man sitting there, "Mr. Heros, why didn't you show up as agreed?"
After hearing her question, the young man slowly stood up from the ground. He was a man over three meters tall, with thick black hair like seaweed. His facial features were three-dimensional, and under his thick eyebrows were a pair of extremely bright eyes. His face was as firm as an axe, and his whole body was covered with muscles like those carved out of stone.
Although he is much taller than others, the very good proportions of his body and limbs make people unconsciously think that he is a more perfectly evolved human being.
He spoke in a magnetic voice that made people feel good: "I'm sorry, ma'am, but we just encountered the enemy and it's difficult for us to get to you."
"enemy?"
"Yes," said Heros, "it is right under your feet."
Svia looked down and was shocked to see an extremely huge creature lying on the ground, and they were now standing on the body of this creature!
However, this creature seemed to have no thickness and no conspicuous outline, almost covering the entire area around it. In addition, there were no signs of life at the moment, so it was not discovered for a while.
Sigvard jumped twice and found that the feeling was indeed different from the soil. However, there were all kinds of situations in the fusion land, so he didn't think much about it. At this moment, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is this?"
Heros said, "I don't know either. We ran into this thing on the road, and it tried to wrap us all up. There's no record of it in the data. I think it must be a new species, and we were delayed here for a while in order to break free from its restraints, but that's not the main reason."
He said seriously, "It's that I feel there's someone watching us from a distance, and he's a threat to us."
"Who?"
"I don't know," Heros said. "I only know he's very dangerous, but if he shows up again, I can find him."
"Is it someone from the Linax Federation?" Svia looked up. "Is it Wilhelm?"
Heros shook his head and said, "Not Blueblood." Then he emphasized, "Not him."
Sveia and Sigvard looked at each other. Even Hroth felt threatened, but it wasn't Wilhelm who was heard to be coming. So who could it be?
As they were talking, about ten kilometers away, Qi Qianyang walked to a tree house woven from vines. As he approached, the branches slowly parted, and a man in his thirties with a side-parted hair emerged. He immediately asked, "Instructor Qi, you're back. How's everything going?"
Qi Qianyang said, "That Heros is quite sensitive. I was almost discovered just now. He really deserves to be ranked among the top in the world."
"So what?" the man said, "Can he still be a match for Instructor Qi?"
Qi Qianyang touched his chin and said, "That's hard to say. At our level, no one knows until we fight."
The man said with certainty, "That's just that Instructor Qi didn't use his full strength."
Qi Qianyang smiled and did not deny this. He said, "It's not the time yet. Let them look for it first. Once they find it, I will go up and take it."
Under the former joint camp, Chen Chuan picked up the Xuejun Knife and slashed it, instantly closing the gap in front of him.
He practiced here all night last night. There are quite a few underground spaces here, which saves him from digging himself.
After coming out, he felt his second self and found that his strength was even closer to his current self.
In the battle yesterday, he relied entirely on his own strength to kill the enemy in one encounter, which gave the second me a great improvement.
He still didn't know his name, and no identification was found during the search. Judging from his strength, he should be no ordinary person, and he was probably a well-known fighter.
I'm sure I'll encounter more fighters like this in the future.
He put Xuejun into the scabbard, stood up from the ground, walked up from the underground space, and Chao Ming, who had woken up, followed him.
He pushed open the deformed metal door and came outside. He saw that the place had become completely charred. Large pieces of black ash were floating down from the sky, and a thick layer of it had accumulated on the ground.
Yang Yuncheng seemed to have gotten up long ago. He walked over from a short distance away. He had cleared all the outer sentries before nightfall yesterday. Now he asked, "Director Chen, are you leaving?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "We're ready to go, but the road ahead is a bit difficult. I'll ask you, Old Yang, to take care of the three horses we brought."
Yang Yuncheng said, "Leave it to me. I will definitely take good care of you."
Chen Chuan glanced at the sky and said, "There may be more airships coming today to check on the situation. You'd better stay away."
Yang Yuncheng said yes.
Chen Chuan walked to the side with a knife. There was a two-wheeled motor vehicle called "Rakshasa" produced by Fenghai Company parked here. It was found near a checkpoint yesterday. It should be used by patrolmen to travel back and forth between the camp and the checkpoint.
However, under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to use this kind of tool to deeply integrate into the environment, because you don’t know what you will encounter on the road, and you may not even have time to react when driving at high speed.
But it seemed just right to him, as he had discovered now that as long as one's own spiritual power was sufficient, one did not have to be too wary of many things. As long as one released one's spirit while walking, it would be enough to intimidate most creatures. Of course, it might be regarded as a provocation, but as long as one was fast enough, one could usually avoid it.
Of course, doing so may consume a lot of mental energy, but he has a second self, and the lost object that can restore mental and physical strength, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
The two-wheeled vehicle was large enough for him to carry. He hung the things he was going to carry on the metal racks on both sides, slung the Xuejun Knife across his back, and then sat on it. He said to Yang Yuncheng, "Old Yang, I'm leaving. Take care."
Yang Yuncheng responded solemnly: "Manager Chen, I wish you success in your mission!" Then he stepped back a few steps.
Chen Chuan nodded, put on the protective mask, straightened the red scarf around his body, nodded to Yang Yuncheng, and then started the vehicle. The two-wheeled motor vehicle rushed out with a roar, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
Chao Ming let out a chirping sound in the sky and followed.
Yang Yuncheng took two steps, watched him leave, raised his hand to salute, until his figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
After Chen Chuan left the camp, he looked at some traces left on the ground. These were obviously left by a large group of people heading to an unknown area.
This made it convenient for him. He followed the traces and used his spiritual power to clear the way, so his speed was very fast, which was far beyond what he had been able to do in the previous two days.
He also noticed that many of the powerful creatures that should have been present on the road had been eliminated. He even saw an unknown creature as large as a small hill lying on its side, its body mostly reduced to a skeleton, covered in dense insects. It seemed that this skeleton would not last long.
After driving for half a day, he found a large abandoned camp. Judging from the campfires, at least a hundred people had stayed here.
He stopped here, got out of the car, and looked at the surrounding layout and some leftover metal cans. He was sure that these were left by the people from the Federation, but they obviously had no intention of covering up the traces.
He looked forward. If he followed this camp, he might be able to find other camps where these people had stayed. If he kept searching, he might be able to catch up with this group of people soon.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly a place in the camp was alarmed by his spiritual power. The cover there was suddenly stretched open, and with a buzzing sound, dense things flew out from it and swarmed towards him.
