Fang Qingdai and Xiao Nuo agreed on a place to hide the energy stone, and at that moment Li Weidong finally arrived.
Fang Qingdai immediately covered him with her mental energy, trying to use it to check if he or anyone around him was hiding anything that looked like an urn.
Before Li Weidong could even begin to probe with his spiritual power, he was detected by someone behind him!
The man instantly became alert, cautiously surveying his surroundings while quickly reporting to Li Weidong.
"There's a psychic nearby, someone with a higher level than me, and they're investigating us!"
Li Weidong and his group immediately became alert, and Fang Qingdai watched as Li Weidong took out a necklace from an alloy box and put it on.
It's obvious without even guessing that it must be something that can interfere with mental power!
Fang Qingdai clicked her tongue: "No wonder they can climb so high. Not only did they bring a psychic, but they also equipped themselves with items that interfere with mental power!"
So far, the person next to Li Weidong is the first other psychic ability user Fang Qingdai has ever encountered.
Other people with psychic abilities were hidden in their bases, but Li Weidong kept his people with him.
Fang Qingdai rubbed her chin in deep thought.
If this psychic was only intended for interrogation, Li Weidong had absolutely no reason to bring him along, let alone to this scene.
Could it be that he... wants a psychic to do the same thing as Fang Qingdai?
For example, interfering with someone's thoughts. Even if you can't control them, interfering with them or giving them a mental suggestion is still very effective!
Just as they were speculating, they heard Li Weidong whisper an order: "The other side may also have brought a psychic ability user. Don't make a move this time, and be careful not to reveal your identity."
Fang Qingdai pursed her lips. It really is true!
Fortunately, during their brief exchange, Fang Qingdai sensed that the psychic ability user was far less powerful than her, about the same level as the red fox she had met at first.
It's probably around level six or seven.
Even so, it's still quite impressive. He can directly control those with weaker mental strength, and even if their mental strength is slightly stronger, it wouldn't be difficult for him to give them a mental suggestion.
Fang Qingdai pondered for a moment, then connected her consciousness with the paulownia tree and asked, "Can my spiritual power completely overwhelm that person?"
The paulownia tree received a box of energy stones, and its branches and leaves danced with joy.
Normally it might not pay attention to Fang Qingdai, but now it simply replied: "If we fight to the death, there's a 60% chance."
60%?
Not high!
It should be noted that Fang Qingdai could almost completely crush other types of superhumans.
But even though he was also a mental being, and his opponent's level was far lower than Fang Qingdai's, he still had a 40% chance of turning the tables and killing her!
Mental battles are definitely not like children playing house, where you advance and retreat. If either side is not careful, they are likely to be controlled by the other. At best, their mental strength will be damaged; at worst, their mental sea will be destroyed, and they will bleed from all seven orifices and die!
Fang Qingdai immediately suppressed the thought that had just arisen!
She had originally thought that since Li Weidong seemed to rely on this psychic ability user to do his negotiations and had given him a lot of mental hints, this psychic ability user must have been deeply trusted by Li Weidong.
If we could hack into his brain, even if we couldn't access his past memories, it would definitely be interesting to use him to trip up Li Weidong later.
Not only could she not do it now, but it also suddenly made Fang Qingdai realize something.
Even though she is now a level nine mental ability user, she can't really use her mental power to do whatever she wants.
Other organizations all have one or two psychic abilities. If she is not careful and exposes what she has done using her psychic powers, it will probably not be long before important figures from all sides are equipped with psychic ability users for protection.
Fortunately, Fang Qingdai had just made a quick look around and had also grasped the situation around the other party.
She frowned and looked at Mao Min: "Nothing resembling an urn was found on him or anyone around him."
The expectation in Mao Min's eyes quickly faded. After a long silence, she suddenly said, "Let's go back. Let's stop looking for now."
Fang Qingdai, who was still thinking of other solutions, paused for a moment: "Aren't we going to look anymore?"
The vulnerability in Mao Min's eyes was quickly suppressed, and she nodded seriously: "Yes, we can't find it. If he really wants to lure us with the urn, he might try again next time if he fails this time."
"The battlefield situation is too complicated, and the base may have been targeted by him. The longer we stay, the worse it will be. Let's give up for now."
Looking at the woman in front of her, whose face was now filled with a stern and imposing aura after she regained her senses, Fang Qingdai couldn't help but sigh at the waste of her special ability!
Mao Min's mental fortitude is undeniable. After making efforts and receiving no response, she could even put down her own father's ashes without hesitation.
Although wastelanders don't treat the ashes and spirits of their ancestors with the same solemnity as people in the 21st century, it's still rare to see someone as decisive as Mao Min.
The family members all said that it could be put on hold for now, so Fang Qingdai didn't hesitate. After thinking for a moment, she also felt that Mao Min was right.
If Li Weidong's first plan fails, he will definitely come up with a second one. Next time he goes fishing, he will make sure to expose more bait.
The more they reveal, the more information Fang Qingdai and her group can gather, and they can find another opportunity next time. It's better than wandering around the battlefield aimlessly like headless flies this time.
Fang Qingdai nodded decisively: "Okay, let's retreat first. Don't worry, when we get back to the base I'll try to come up with other bait to see if I can entice Li Weidong to reveal more information."
To date, it has not been confirmed whether Li Weidong actually possesses Chairman Mao's urn!
He needs to reveal some information before Fang Qingdai and the others will be willing to continue taking the bait!
Having made her decision, Fang Qingdai told Xiao Nuo and then decisively withdrew from the front lines.
On the way back to the base, Xiao Nuo sent her a message informing her of the subsequent developments.
When Li Weidong arrived, the three parties started fighting immediately after a disagreement.
The White Tiger Base accused the Vermilion Bird Base of obstructing their path without cause, despite having clearly agreed to give way.
The Vermilion Bird Base stated that the energy stones were agreed to be divided equally among the three parties during peacetime, but were arbitrarily withheld by the White Tiger Base. Now they are being brought out to be divided equally!
The Xuanwu base tried to mediate, speaking to both sides, but ultimately failed to stop the fight, and the three parties ended up fighting again.
Fang Qingdai pondered that if the psychic ability user hadn't hesitated and had gotten involved, both sides might actually have been able to do Li Weidong a favor through mental manipulation, and the matter could have been resolved relatively peacefully.
But the psychic was worried about her and didn't dare to make a move, which is why Li Weidong, the peacemaker, couldn't act as a mediator.
In the chaos, it was unclear which faction had secretly taken away the fake stones, and the three parties began a new round of mutual suspicion and accusations.
Before Fang Qingdai could finish watching the excitement, Xiao Nuo sent another message: "Li Weidong is making connections with the Oasis Base, saying that the disappearance of the stone this time is very likely the work of the Oasis Base."
