Chapter 366: 174~175: The perfect deduction of life span resources, revealing enemy situation during pioneer exploration (nearly 8k votes needed for the month)_5 Chapter 366: 174~175: The perfect deduction of life span resources, revealing enemy situation during pioneer exploration (nearly 8k votes needed for the month)_5 Almost at the same time, Du Baoyue also came over, her brow furrowed as she transmitted a message.
“Brother Chen, what happened?
Have you noticed something?”
Chen Dengming’s eyebrows raised, he nodded solemnly, “There is something wrong with Bian Yucheng and the others from the Five Elements Escape Sect.
They said they rescued the Hualong Sect cultivators two days ago and stayed for a day before leaving.
But two days ago, my wife, Mrs.
He, had already made contact with the cultivators of the Hualong Sect.
She needed to transport some materials to that outpost, and the Hualong Sect cultivator she contacted at that time showed no anomalies.
...
Even yesterday, she told me that she would go to the base of the Hualong Sect’s cultivators today, and there still haven’t been any abnormalities there…”
Du Baoyue was shocked, and then said, “It might be possible that when Mrs.
He contacted the Hualong Sect’s cultivators two days ago, they had not been attacked yet.
When contacting them yesterday, they had already been safe, so it would be normal for them not to report any anomalies…”
“No.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Chen Dengming shook his head, “They would usually communicate with the outpost in advance to confirm the safety conditions.
Even if the crisis is resolved, they would explain the situation, and it’s impossible for them to hide it.
After all, if an enemy is still lurking around, this would pose a security threat to the person transporting the materials.”
After pondering for a moment, Du Baoyue nodded slightly, “Senior Brother Chen, you have a point.
So, what do you think we should do now?”
Chen Dengming frowned, “You should take these disciples away first and settle them in a safe place.
I will stay nearby and observe secretly while immediately reporting the situation here to the sect.
If there is indeed something wrong with these people, we need to request reinforcements.”
If these newly cultivated lands were to fall into the wrong hands, even possibly into the hands of Demon Cultivators, then his examination task would be a complete failure, and it could even affect him joining the Longevity Sect.
But at that time, Bian Yucheng and the others’ tokens showed no issues, and given that we were outnumbered, my suspicions remained mere conjecture without substantial evidence, so I couldn’t refuse,
If a misunderstanding arises causing strife, it would affect the evaluation of the examination task.
Therefore, it would be most prudent to switch from a visible presence to covert surveillance.”
However, Du Baoyue shook her head at this point, “No, it’s too dangerous for you to stay alone.
I should stay with you.
The Spirit Boat can fly without me.”
Chen Dengming waived his hand, “Those disciples are paramount.
If something were to happen along the way, both of us would have to take blame.
Don’t worry.
I’m not reckless.
The first thing I would do is to ensure my own safety.
Besides, my wife will be arriving soon…”
However, Du Baoyue was still uneasy.
This was her task, too.
If something were to happen, even with good reason, she would be accused of deserting her post during a crisis if she left alone with a group of disciples.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the Black Cloud Leopard behind her who was pricking its ears to listen.
She brightened up, “Or maybe…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the Black Cloud Leopard was already startled, nodding its head rapidly.
Du Baoyue gave a weird look, “Brother Chen, how about letting your steed look after them on the way?
After all, it is a Demonic Beast in the initial stages of the Foundation Establishment…even though it might…be a bit cowardly.”
Chen Dengming looked at the disgraced Black Cloud Leopard with a headache.
This panther, it treasured its own life more than others.
Ever since it was taught the mantra of preservation, it would avoid danger at the slightest hint of it.
“Wow!”
The Black Cloud Leopard pointed its mouth at Chen Dengming, puffed up its chest, pointed with its paw to the numerous disciples below on the deck, and smacked its chest.
It opened its mouth, revealing its fangs.
“Alright then, Heizi, since you’ve taken the initiative for once, I, as your master, will indulge you.”
Chen Dengming’s words made the Black Cloud Leopard’s face brighten up with joy.
But the very next sentence brought intense pain.
“If anything happens to these disciples, I’ll strip you of your leopard skin.”
After Du Baoyue had finished pacifying and communicating with the disciples, Chen Dengming immediately departed, without any delay.
The two quickly flew off the Spirit Boat, concealing their auras.
They flew in a low profile around the cultivated area of the Chang Mountain Deep Forest, while simultaneously observing the situation covertly and sending messages to the sect.
They carefully reported the strange situation here.
This move was also very risky.
If it turned out to be a misunderstanding, then Chen Dengming would have not only delayed He Yingyu’s transportation task but also hurt the feelings of his fellow cultivators from the Five Elements Escape Sect.
However, even at the risk of being punished by the sect, Chen Dengming insisted on his suspicions.
Better safe than sorry.
This was also for Sister He’s safety considerations.
If there was a real problem, his examination task would also face setbacks…
