Chapter 31
The vegetation in the northern area wasn't particularly dense compared to the western and southern areas, as a small mountain dominated the area. According to the geography and climate of the capital planet, a mountain covered solely with low shrubs shouldn't coexist with tall jungle. Therefore, the cheetah specifically pointed it out, reminding the snow cat to be more cautious when climbing the mountain.
According to data transmitted by the Imperial Military, the western region had the highest frequency of suspected Zerg signs, followed by the northern region. Having searched for so long without finding a single suspicious point matching the mission information, the two men exercised utmost vigilance regarding the hill, the last area left to explore.
Before entering the hill, the cheetahs and snow cats replenished their energy so that they could face the unknown that lay ahead in the best possible condition.
The cheetah's mental power and the snow cat's guiding element were released at the same time again, scanning the entire mountain. While climbing the mountain, they still maintained a high level of perception at all times.
"It's a bit cold, do you feel it?" Ling Yun and Cheetah walked to the halfway point of the mountain. They did not find any traces of Zerg or abnormalities along the way, but he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Cheetah.
The cheetah looked puzzled, looked up at the star hanging in the center of the sky, which continued to emit heat, and replied, "No, it's so hot, how can it be cold?"
Ling Yun's face darkened and he looked at Cheetah seriously.
The cheetah belatedly realized something.
“What’s going on…?”
Ling Yun did not answer, but released more guiding elements and then closed his eyes quietly.
As the guiding element extended, Ling Yun's consciousness also followed and reached the distance. His spirit leaped in various places, constantly sensing those abnormal fluctuations, and then gradually locked those abnormalities into a range.
The closer I got, the colder I felt.
Wet, sticky, cold...
Ling Yun frowned, trying to control his guide to go one step further——
He opened his eyes palely.
Cheetah looked a little unhappy. She understood what Snow Cat had just done, so she didn't say anything to interrupt him. She just looked at his current appearance and intuitively knew that the result would not be a good one.
Ling Yun mentally sorted out the vast amount of information he had gathered in just a few minutes, then informed Cheetah of his perceptions one by one: "About a hundred meters above us, at the 10 o'clock position, I sensed something resembling a guiding element. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a guiding element. This thing can be sensed by the guiding element, but it can also attack the guiding element through this sensed connection. I just tried to use the guiding element to explore deeper in that direction, but it attacked me."
Moreover, this kind of cold feeling seems familiar... as if I have encountered it somewhere before.
Ling Yun did not report this uncertainty to Cheetah, but just what he had just said was enough to make her pay 100% attention.
"I think we need to tell the boss about this discovery." After analyzing the situation, Cheetah offered a very sensible suggestion. "When facing an unknown enemy, it's best not to act rashly. Any mistake in any link could lead to a complete collapse."
Snow Cat nodded in agreement.
So Cheetah opened the general communication channel and reported everything that Snow Cat had discovered to Yan Xuanjin without any error. At the same time, he marked their location and the location where the abnormality was discovered on the map.
Yan Xuanjin, who had already finished searching the west district and even started a second round, was immediately alerted when he received Cheetah's report. He issued an order in the chat: "Now, Snow Cat and Cheetah, immediately descend the mountain. Hummingbird and Puya from the south district, immediately head to the north district and rendezvous with them at the foot of the mountain. I'm coming from the west district and will arrive in ten minutes. Mandarin Dog and Cunning Rabbit from the east district, continue their search."
"receive!"
"yes!"
Yan Xuanjin swiftly shuttled through the jungle while giving orders to the remaining members of the Dark Blade: "Honey Badger, drive the Dark Blade 500 meters west and start preheating to ensure the starship is ready for takeoff at any time."
"Got it! Boss, what happened? Do you need support?" Honey Badger started the starship swiftly and drove the Dark Blade slowly towards the target location.
"It's okay at the moment, but please be vigilant."
"yes."
