He had a vague feeling that this ring would be useful in the future.
With that thought in mind, Zero stopped dwelling on it, put the ring into her spatial storage, and got up to leave.
He needed to hurry back and tell the Black Dragon Clan the information Jiang Quan had given him.
Now that their elder brother, Black Tiger, has escaped, then... the message transmitted by the communication stone must have been relayed by Black Tiger himself...
But... the location conveyed in the original communication was the base that Zero went to at the beginning.
Why... did Black Tiger ask everyone to meet there?
Oh, right!
Zero suddenly remembered something—
When they came out of the main hall earlier, the patrolling soldiers were no longer there.
Ling hadn't thought much of it at first, assuming Jiang Quan had diverted the people away. But now, after careful consideration, everything seemed to make sense.
Black Tiger escaped, but didn't leave; he stayed in the same spot, which is why Jiang Quan and his group couldn't find him.
I see……
Zero suddenly realized what was happening and wasn't in a hurry to go back.
Now, he actually wants to confirm his own thoughts...
Are Black Tiger and Qi Sheng, the two who escaped, still in Jiang Quan's base?
Everything will soon have an answer.
Thinking of this, Zero's body flickered and disappeared.
He sped toward Jiang Quan's base at an outrageous speed.
Not long after, Zero arrived at Jiang Quan's base.
Unlike when I first entered, the base is now as quiet as a ghost town, with no one guarding it at all.
Ling became suspicious and quietly entered the base.
There was no one in front of the hall.
There was no one in front of the stone chamber.
The main hall corridor was still empty...
There was no one in the entire base.
This discovery surprised Zero a bit.
Something's not right!
Ling frowned and thought to himself.
Even if Black Tiger and his crew aren't at the base, there's no way there wouldn't be a single person there!
"Hey, Zero, what are you doing here?"
Just then, Jiang Quan's voice came from outside.
Seemingly surprised that Zero would actually visit their base, Jiang Quan asked:
Is something the matter?
Zero was silent for a moment, then said:
"There's something I want to ask you. Were the people in your base transferred by you?"
Jiang Quan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied:
"No, they're probably all training."
"train?"
Zero was clearly surprised that Jiang Quan would say such a thing.
"Yes, those people at the base go underground to train every day, which is why the base is so empty and quiet."
Jiang Quan explained, then asked with a hint of doubt:
"By the way, are you looking for something? Why are you back at the base again?"
"I'm looking for someone."
Zero didn't intend to hide anything and answered truthfully.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Is the person you're looking for in my base?"
Jiang Quan asked with some curiosity.
"I'm just guessing. Could you tell me where your people train?"
Zero didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
Jiang Quan nodded:
"It's not something that can't be told, so I won't mind telling you."
As he spoke, Jiang Quan took the lead and walked in a southeast direction, glancing back at Ling as he went:
"Come with me."
Ling nodded and followed behind Jiang Quan, heading southeast.
"That's a forbidden area of the base. Ordinary people can't easily get close to it. Anyone who's foolish enough to trespass has died there. They only go in during training."
Jiang Quan spoke as he walked.
"So mysterious?"
Ling asked with some doubt, showing a hint of curiosity about the place Jiang Quan had mentioned.
“That’s right, there’s a special training area there that’s not usually open to the public.”
Jiang Quan replied.
Hearing this, Ling stopped asking questions and continued following behind Jiang Quan.
After walking for less than half a cup of tea's time, Jiang Quan stopped in front of a stone pillar.
"This is our training ground."
Jiang Quan explained, then turned around and pointed to the stone pillar, saying:
"Look, this is it."
Looking down, Ling noticed that this stone pillar was almost identical to the surrounding pillars, except for one that was different from the one next to it.
The stone pillar is several meters high and about forty centimeters wide. It looks very rough and somewhat mottled.
It seems this stone pillar is just a superficial installation...
"This is the training ground."
Jiang Quan continued, then reached out and pressed on the stone pillar next to him. The pillar immediately made a loud "boom," and the entire ground shook as if it were about to collapse.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to crack open on both sides, revealing the deep, dark underground beneath.
Ling was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
Could this be... the underground base?
He thought it was somewhere on the ground!
"You might be surprised, but this is actually an underground base."
Jiang Quan continued:
“We dug a tunnel underground, through which we can enter the other side of the underground base, and that is the training base.”
Jiang Quan then explained:
"Our training ground is built right inside this passageway."
Jiang Quan said, then asked:
"By the way, Zero, who are you looking for? I'll take you downstairs."
Zero quickly waved his hand and said:
