Shao Xian questioned, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Shao Ling sneered: "You tried to intimidate him the moment you met him, speaking in a sarcastic and insinuating manner. Did you even ask him anything?"
The eldest uncle's education for girls was to find a good man to marry so that they could help their natal family. The Shao family would support their daughter. Shao Xian had been influenced by this since childhood and had taken it as an inviolable rule. She had her eye on Xi Yan because the team leader had said that Xi Yan would be groomed as the heir. She dreamed of becoming someone of high status. She became wary whenever she saw a girl with Xi Yan, seeing everyone as someone who was trying to steal him away. She would threaten him without any explanation and say ambiguous things.
Shao Xian lost face: "Shao Ling, what kind of tone is that? Don't you want to go back to the Shao family?"
Shao Ling turned around and faced Shao Xian directly: "Since there is no place for me in the Shao family, I am no longer a member of the Shao family. Don't call me cousin anymore, call me Deputy Captain Shao. You are being disrespectful, Shao Xian. I can remove you from the group. I believe Captain Xi will not object."
Shao Xian panicked: "I'll tell my third uncle and have him deal with you."
After saying that, she stormed off, but Shao Ling felt very relieved. She didn't want her own father anymore, so how could he threaten her? Don't forget that she has the highest status in the Dragon Group in the Shao family. She can decide the fate of the Shao family children in the Dragon Group. As long as she says she has psychological problems, let's see who dares to send them on missions. It's time for the Shao family to beg her to come back.
Zhu Fanfan was unaware of what was happening outside, but after looking at the documents Zhuge Qianxing had brought, she was puzzled: "Are you sure what's in this is true?"
The information states that the Japanese pirates threatened a master in China, who calculated that there was an exceptionally powerful energy source here. So they sent many people here to conduct research. The energy field here is so strong that people cannot live here for a long time. At best, they will suffer from headaches and sores; at worst, they will die. However, after death, a large amount of energy will be generated on the corpse. So they coerced the master and, with the master's assistance, established a laboratory where people can stay for a long time without harming their bodies.
There are many venomous snakes and ants here. We first used the animals here for experiments. After a year of experimentation, we finally created a synthetic snake, named Yagi, and hired professionals to train it.
This experiment gave them great confidence, but subsequent experiments, even those using the same method and attempting to replicate the experiment one-to-one, failed again. They then turned their attention to humans, whose genes were the strongest and most suitable. However, before they could even begin, the Chinese master activated a formation, making them think an earthquake was about to occur. They hastily evacuated, and the advance team only took the two-headed snake with them.
After the master emerged from the cave, he set up traps that trapped several Japanese pirates, causing them to starve to death. As the master's time drew to a close, he recorded all his deeds. Later, someone somehow managed to get him into the Dragon Group. Because the master had marked the address, they knew about the place, but they never dared to explore it.
The master recorded that the energy body here is enormous and has too many unpredictable variables. He lived here for five years, and if it weren't for the energy-isolating devices in the laboratory, he might have been burst apart and his body would have been reduced to fragments. This is also why he tricked the Japanese pirates into setting up a laboratory here. They have a lot of good stuff, or rather, they have robbed a lot of things from China, so it is only natural for them to use it in China. However, after living here for five years, he still couldn't figure out anything.
He also knew that the Japanese pirates had somehow obtained the seeds and, after studying them for a while, they had evolved into man-eating flowers. A single flower could swallow a person whole, and after swallowing them, the flower was invulnerable to swords and spears. However, at that time, there were only a few man-eating flowers, so he didn't take it seriously. Fearing that the Japanese pirates might develop some other strange things, he devised a plan to wipe them out. Before he died, he was still regretting that he hadn't found Orochi.
Zhu Fanfan didn't understand: "How can you be sure what that master said is true if you've never been here before?"
Elder Zhen said, "That is the handwriting of one of our seniors in the formation group. It has been confirmed that it is his master's handwriting. There is no mistake. Moreover, we have investigated before and confirmed that it is genuine."
Actually, he was a senior member of their sect. However, he wasn't coerced by the Japanese pirates. He knew that the Bone-Eating Forest had immense energy and, after combining it with many ancient texts, concluded that this energy could grant immortality. So he wanted to conduct research, but he didn't have the ability, and the sect opposed the research. He personally intervened, allowing the Japanese pirates to find him, and with his explanation, they built this laboratory. There's no need to tell these juniors about this.
Zhu Fanfan asked the question that puzzled her: "Do you know where the lab is?"
Elder Zhen was very confident: "I know, the records contain the detailed address, and we have the key to open the formation."
Zhu Fanfan said, "We've seen the two-headed snake before, and it's still here. I should be able to find it."
Elder Zhen couldn't help but grin: "I knew your mental strength was strong enough to find it. This two-headed snake is the key; it's the nemesis of the man-eating flower."
The forest should be full of man-eating plants. He can only protect himself with his mental energy and cannot spare the energy to search for the two-headed snake. However, the two-headed snake is the nemesis of the man-eating plants. As long as there is a two-headed snake, the man-eating plants will not be a problem.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhuge Qianxing said, "Let's rest for the afternoon, make some preparations, and go to the forest to check things out tomorrow. It's dangerous at night, so we must be back before dark."
No one objected. Zhuge Qianxing said, "If there's nothing else, go back and rest. Zhu Fanfan, you stay."
After everyone else had left, Zhu Fanfan asked first, "Are you sure Elder Lin is reliable?"
Zhuge Qianxing replied with absolute confidence: "The elders of the Dragon Group are all reliable. We went through extremely rigorous tests before being assigned to our positions. Just like your grandfather and the people in the headquarters, he can guarantee that there are no spies among them, and I dare to do the same."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "What do you want me to do if you keep me here?"
Zhuge Qianxing had no choice but to ask, "Why do you join the army but not the Dragon Group? To be honest, I don't want to hear your story about protecting your grandfather. If you wanted to protect your grandfather, you wouldn't be doing this mission in the first place."
Zhu Fanfan sighed helplessly: "Can't I say I was tricked? My grandpa told me to be a bodyguard, and then he tricked me into doing missions."
Zhuge Qianxing was filled with regret: "If I had known, I would have threatened you to join the Dragon Group by saying that you were Mo Wenqi. Your grandfather must have made you enlist because of that, right?"
