On the night of the operation, Chi Tu had various equipment prepared for Wang Hao's expedition, including an alloy sword, dagger, protective suit, and a lifelike human skin mask.
Furthermore, they even have firearms!
They set off early the next morning, first arriving outside the city, where they boarded a small spaceship at a secret manor and headed to Mount Tai.
This small spaceship is so advanced that it cannot be detected by the wasteland's satellites.
This was Wang Hao's first time sitting in such a spaceship, and everything felt new and exciting. However, he simply observed calmly and didn't ask any questions.
After all, his previous life had become dust, and apart from his experience and combat skills, he had no advantages in this life. Even his cultivation level was a one-time thing.
Wang Hao felt that there was a lot he needed to learn.
Chi Tu's personal involvement in the operation demonstrates the importance he attaches to it.
Besides Wang Hao, there were four other people in the group, all wearing lifelike human skin masks, so it was impossible to tell what their real expressions were.
Chi Tu sat upright in his chair and said, "Our target is Mount Tai. This time, Tianxing has sent people from financial groups and top-tier forces. They are secretly digging in the mountains, and that's also our target!"
"What was discovered in Mount Tai that attracted the attention of Tianxing's financial magnates and top-tier figures?" someone asked.
The operation was kept secret until the very beginning; even they didn't know the destination.
Chi Tu was very serious and said, "Someone seems to have discovered some remarkable records in a jade slip left by a pre-Qin Qi cultivator, and the target is Mount Tai."
"Are they still interested in the inheritance of Qi Refiners?" someone asked. The Tianxing side has developed a method to transcend the mundane and break through to the Heavenly Realm to become extraordinary beings, and the cultivation method has been officially abandoned.
Chi Tu said very solemnly, "Some secrets are recorded on the deciphered jade slip. It seems that Mount Tai has something that excites and thrills Qi cultivators, so the financial magnates have come secretly again this time."
The group's spirits lifted. A new discovery on Mount Tai? Something that even Qi cultivators were concerned about—could it be related to…mythical creatures?!
The top experts among Qi cultivators are considered mythical beings.
However, some people disagree, believing that they are more mysterious and powerful than Qi cultivators.
Wang Hao wasn't interested in any of that. He only hoped to sense the presence of spiritual energy there, rather than the low-level true energy from the outside world. Otherwise, his cultivation and martial arts would remain stagnant, unable to break through.
"The Li and Zhao families dug up the underground palace and found their target!" Chi Tu whispered, having just received the latest intelligence report.
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow. It turned out to be these two families. He had just learned about the Tianxing Li family a few days ago, but he didn't expect that today, they would be snatching food from their mouths.
The time didn't take long, and soon they were close to their destination.
Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue, and Taiyue, is one of the famous Five Sacred Mountains of China and is considered the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains. In the pre-Qin period, it was a place of pilgrimage.
Moreover, Mount Tai had been excavated by the forces of Tianxing and Wasteland Earth in the past, and even astonishing phenomena were unearthed, making all parties fear this place.
Unexpectedly, various forces have entered Mount Tai again today. There must be something extremely precious inside that is worth risking their lives to reach.
"Check your equipment!" Akatsuchi's deep voice reminded the crew in the spaceship to get ready for the upcoming operation.
The landscape of Mount Tai was clearly displayed on the spaceship's screen, with lush greenery, dense forests, towering peaks, and strangely shaped rocks.
Wang Hao put on the protective suit and felt it was a little heavy. It had a certain degree of protection against bullets and melee weapons, and could save his life in critical moments.
Looking at the alloy sword in his hand, Wang Hao thought to himself, "The swords I used in my previous life were all made of mother metal. I never expected that my first sword in this life would be an alloy sword made of ordinary iron."
However, this alloy sword is extremely sharp, making it a very effective weapon in close combat. The dagger is also very useful, serving as a deadly weapon in narrow, inescapable spaces.
After all, Wang Hao is only a Yellow Realm martial artist and does not have strong cultivation to rely on, so he is still very careful and even secretly put on two layers of bulletproof vests.
"There's a piece of equipment I don't know how to use." Wang Hao was unfamiliar with one of the small containers of liquid.
Chitu told him that it contained an artificial iris, and wearing it could prevent his identity from being revealed.
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, finding it quite interesting. After doing so, he looked at himself in a small mirror. His pupils turned light blue, and with the realistic human skin mask, he looked like a Westerner.
“Mount Tai is associated with Taoism, and there was even a strange phenomenon of nine dragons pulling a coffin in the past. Could it be that we’ve actually unearthed something extraordinary?” “Tiger,” who was involved in the operation, asked, showing great interest.
They all use code names; no one mentions their real names.
The kangaroo said, "We must stop them this time. We can't let them take it all away. They've almost hollowed out the Earth. All the good stuff has been transported to Tianxing and become the private collections of those powerful families, institutions, and conglomerates."
When these things were mentioned, they all felt resentful.
Now, the underground areas of all the famous mountains and rivers in the wasteland have been ransacked, and even Mount Tai is no exception, having been dug up countless times.
The fact that they had made another discovery was indeed beyond their expectations.
Wang Hao asked with some curiosity, "Won't blocking them like this provoke retaliation and ultimately trigger a large-scale conflict?"
Chitu shook his head and said, "No, even if the wasteland is in ruins, it is not something that one or two forces can control and stir up trouble. Besides, the wasteland and Tianxing have a fairly good relationship, after all, they share the same origin. You should have confidence in the organization. We have already ventured deep into the starry sky and are not afraid of them."
"I'm just worried about my own life," Wang Hao muttered to himself. After all, he had never been exposed to Earth's firearms, but from what he had learned from various sources, these firearms were enough to pose a fatal threat to cultivators below the Golden Core realm.
Tiger chimed in, "First of all, the conglomerates were secretly stealing the mines, so they were in the wrong. They couldn't say anything when they were stopped. Afterwards, things will gradually calm down, and all parties will act as if nothing happened."
Of course, this does not mean there is no danger. On the contrary, the conflict is very intense, and it is normal for there to be deaths and injuries.
Wang Hao didn't say much. Danger and opportunity coexist, and any benefit has already been secretly priced.
"High-energy weapons have been set up in the mountains. The first and second teams can take them out," a voice came from the other end of the screen.
Chitu responded, "Make sure everything is resolved. Don't let us be trapped inside the underground palace and wiped out."
"No problem, there's a third team on standby."
Wang Hao was awestruck. This kind of adventure was already considered a small-scale battle, involving far more than just their group. It was simply too exciting.
Chi Tu remained calm as he looked at Wang Hao and explained indifferently, "This involves something that would excite and thrill even the Qi cultivators of the pre-Qin era. If it is indeed related to mythology, its value would be immeasurable. Therefore, we must be absolutely certain of success this time, and several teams will be dispatched together."
