"Yes." The scarred man nodded and retreated, then quickly began to arrange for more people to guard the perimeter of the Forbidden Forest.
The termite sat on the empty ground, its brows furrowed as it watched the setting sun.
He brought over a hundred people from the Nanxiao base and set up spies at a certain distance around the Forbidden Forest, but so far there has been no news of Ji Yueyao.
He is currently located in the eastern part of the Forbidden Forest, where the eastern region of Country C is in the most chaos. If he only sends ordinary guards, he cannot feel at ease.
The adults have asked about the captain many times already. Although he has always managed to bluff his way out of it, he is certain that if this drags on any longer, the adults will eventually realize something is wrong, and then... no one can withstand the adults' wrath.
Captain, where are you right now? How are you doing...?
The termite squinted its eyes, its face darkened, and even its breathing seemed to have become heavier.
He sat there looking around, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, as if... something was approaching.
His heightened senses instantly alerted him. He raised his eyes, but his gaze suddenly sharpened. Something seemed to be approaching from the edge of the sky… Wait, is that a bird-like creature?!
"Get down!" he coldly ordered the communications officer who was giving signals and the man with the scar on his face. The communications officer and the man were both stunned for a moment. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still obediently lay down and hid themselves.
The termite, crawling on the ground, gritted his teeth as he watched the sparrow-like bird soar through the sky. He absolutely could not be discovered. In this open area, he, a healing-type ability user, had no way to deal with such a large sparrow-like bird!
Ji Yueyao lay on the body of the bird-like creature, trying her best to breathe softly... Heaven knows what it felt like to fly so fast in the sky; she felt as if her internal organs were filled with wind!
Fortunately, her physical condition is much stronger than before, otherwise she would probably have frozen to death by now.
"Sister?" Ruan Ruan nestled in Ji Yueyao's arms, blinking her bloodshot eyes twice.
"It's alright, we should be at our destination soon." Ji Yueyao whispered in Ruan Ruan's ear, glancing down at the ground and noticing that the greenery was dwindling. It seemed they had reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
She vaguely sensed a gaze upon her, but when she glanced at the ground, she saw nothing. Was it just her imagination…? She lay prone on the swan-like bird, pursed her lips, and continued to lie there, feeling the chill in the air as the bird accelerated its flight.
Spending so much time in the Forbidden Forest has made her inexplicably more alert, but isn't she a little too tense right now?
As he watched the magpie-like bird fly overhead, Termite frowned slightly, then stood up and dusted himself off.
"That was close." The man with the scar on his face stood up and said with lingering fear. When he was lying on the ground, he could almost hear the hoarse and sharp cry of the exotic bird.
The termite remained silent, merely watching the strange bird of prey fly by, feeling a vague unease in his heart.
"Keep sending messages to keep people on their toes to see if the captain has appeared." Suppressing his unease, Bai Yi turned and coldly instructed the communications officer behind him. The most urgent task now was to find Ji Yueyao.
The communicator nodded and, without saying a word, turned on the communicator again to contact the guards surrounding the Forbidden Forest.
He had a complete, unobstructed view of the Forbidden Forest. He was certain he would spot the captain if she came out; he wouldn't miss her! (To be continued.) m..read for a better reading experience.
