654 The Trial Begins (2/2)
The crash was an accident, but for him, the benefits clearly outweighed the disadvantages.
To meet these students' families?
Let them wait!
In Gaoyuan City, several family members were indeed waiting for their arrival.
These people were all domain espers and extremely strong. It was just that their current expressions weren't looking great with the frowns all over their faces. They felt that something was amiss. The time for them to meet had exceeded two hours, but there was still no sign of any incoming aircraft.
”Contact them and see.”
”Yes!”
It was just that everyone's face turned somewhat ugly soon.
They failed to contact the airplane...
They couldn't contact the students!
Even the aircraft itself couldn't be contacted!
”Something must have happened!”
This was the first reaction coming from everyone.
Looking at each other, they realized the other families and the officials from the Federation also failed to be contacted.
This indicated that something had happened to everyone!
”This isn't right. Even if a mishap has occurred, how could it be impossible to contact them?” Someone said doubtfully.
Even if something had happened, the aircraft would still be contactable.
”There is only one place near Gaoyuan City where one can't be contacted!” A middle-aged man calmly analyzed. Looking at the mountains in front of them, ”They should be within these nearby mountains. They must have been ahead of themselves and entered the mountains.”
”Then, does that mean they might be fine?”
Everyone sighed in relief.
”No matter what, let's enter and see.”
The middle-aged man glanced at everyone for a second, ”This time, the mission is a group mission. We have no conflict of interests, so I don't see the need to create any unnecessary disputes. Otherwise, no matter which family you're from, that won't be doing you any good.”
Everyone looked at each other in agreement.
”Come, let's enter!”
Swish!
Swish!
As their figures vanished, these strong domain espers also entered the mountain range.
Family powers, the Federation, peak professional espers, domain espers, king-level berserk beasts, and unknown espers; this small mountain range of Gaoyuan City hid too many secrets.
Three days later.
”Follow me!” Su Hao led the team of students, hiking a mountain.
The blowing wind was biting cold.
These men had been traveling in this condition.
In just three days, everyone had lost their motivation. If not for the sufficient amount of food on the aircraft, they would have starved to death by now. Even so, this continuous journey had made them weary. Not to forget, there were some who were still recovering from their injuries.
Three days ago, when everyone just started their journey, they could already sense the aura coming from berserk beasts. This was why they were rushing in this direction. However, they didn't expect the path of this mountain to be this tiring.
”Su Hao, can we take a break for a bit?” Xue Feng said while gritting his teeth.
He was the one who suffered injury the most. In such a short period of time, he couldn't recover completely. All he could do was continue the journey while carrying his injury, but to continue walking for three days straight is his limit.
”Just hold on for a bit. We will arrive soon.” Su Hao just casually replied. The others could only bitterly smile while Xue Feng's hatred was released with his fists clenched.
If Su Hao didn't rest, they did not dare do so. With Su Hao's current strength, killing them is something as easy as ABC.
They could only continue following Su Hao.
It was just that after a few steps ahead, Su Hao revealed an astonishing look and then abruptly stopped his feet on the spot before strangely walked back in the opposite direction, ”Look at you guys, I think it's better to rest for a bit. We will walk back three hundred meters. That place earlier that we passed by looks good for us to rest.”
”Okay!”
Everyone was brimming in ecstasy.
Swish~
Everyone happily walked back three hundred meters and rested in that area, restoring their energy. Lie Shou and Wang Suo looked at Su Hao with a strange gaze, ”Why are we resting? We should keep these guys to be in their exhausted state; otherwise, when they recover, no one can imagine what scheme they will plan next.”
”No worries. Let them recover for a bit.” Su Hao smirked, ”They won't be having any opportunities to play any tricks.”
Having said that, Su Hao's eyes were strangely fixated on the distance. That was the spot they stopped before taking a detour. At this moment, two middle-aged men passed by.
”Haven't found Xue Feng?”
”Nope!”
”Damn it. I hope nothing happened to him. After all, Xue Feng is the clan head's favorite disciple. If I knew this, I would have allowed him to participate in this Tian Long Court's trial. After entering this mountain range for three full days, we still ended up with nothing! Even the other families didn't find anyone!”
”Don't panic. We will definitely find him.”
”Hopefully, let's go!”
After looking around, they left the scene.
They didn't notice that on the other side of the route, at a spot where the fog was so dense that it was well hidden, Su Hao was quietly influencing them to leave. The funny part was the ones behind him now were those disciples they had been searching for all day long!
