960 Commander (1/2)
”That's right. We're all from Planet Blue Ray and should help each other out!” Huang Tianba looked straightforwardly at Fang Yuan.
Marianne and the others had the same expression, as if they had silently agreed with one another. He shook his head. He knew that they had never heard about the incident in Flying Rainbow High.
Obviously, Ling Fei'er would not share this story with them either.
”Junior?” Beatrice looked contemplatively at Fang Yuan.
”According to the rescue guidelines, we've already done everything we had to. Also, we have other matters to attend to!” Fang Yuan spread both hands. ”I'm sorry, there's nothing I can help you with!”
”Ah… that's understandable. We've already lost two people even though we're all from Planet Blue Ray. Now, Ling Fei'er is gone too. We can only accept it…”
Li He's eyes seemed a little blood-shot.
He could tell that this group from East Dragon University squad was led by Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice. Lin Meng was nothing more than a first-year, so he did not have much say in this.
”That's right, Junior. Let's get going. We have to go to Moon Jaw Lake!” Wu Sanhuai laughed.
”Moon Jaw Lake?” Huang Tianba gasped. ”Hold on… you're heading in deeper? But a star beast tide is running loose!”
Beatrice interrupted cheerfully, ”I'm sorry, we have our own plans!”
Li He thought for a while before suggesting, ”Sorry, but could we tag along?”
”Wha-?”
Before the fatso Huang Tianba could finish his words, Marianne muffled him with her hand. She said softly, ”Are you dumb? The forest is so dangerous now. If we meet any star beasts, we'd be in deep trouble. Our only hope is to follow this high-level squad! Also, the star beast tide traveled from the inside to the outside. After the first wave, heading inside would be safer!”
”Haha, we don't take deadweight!” Wu Sanhuai smirked coldly and immediately turned to leave, moving like the wind.
Beatrice, Sun Mengmeng, and the others followed.
”Follow them!”
Li He seemed to understand the gravity of the matter. Even if it was shameless, it was better than dying, so he shamelessly followed them.
…
Moon Jaw Lake was a deep landmark within the Wasteland.
Using a satellite cloud map, he saw that it was a huge lake that extended for hundreds of kilometers. With several curves along the way, it looked like a crescent moon.
Once they reached it, they would be deep in the Wasteland, where it was much more dangerous than before.
However, there were fewer star beasts along the way after avoiding the first wave of star beasts.
Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice did not let Fang Yuan and the others kill the star beasts along the way either, in case they alerted other groups nearby.
”We're here. Moon Jaw Lake is right ahead!” Wu Sanhuai was slightly emotional.
”We're… finally here…” Beatrice's voice made it sound like she was finally at ease, surprising Fang Yuan a little.
”Is this Moon Jaw Lake?” Huang Tianba widened his eyes, staring at the pristine surface of the lake. For a long time, he could not say anything. ”If it weren't for Sir Wu Sanhuai leading the way, there's no way we could have made it here!”
”Set up the campsite. We'll explore the area tomorrow!”
Wu Sanhuai pulled out a ball. It floated into the sky and exploded.
A layer of light spread out and covered the entire campsite. Looking in from the outside, all traces of human activity had disappeared without a trace.
”Mechanical talisman, Mirage Magical Power?”
Seeing this, Li He's eyes widened. ”I can't believe you used such a precious talisman! Looks like your mission must be important. If there's anything you need, go ahead and tell us!”
”A mechanical talisman… In the past, they used paper or jade to create talismans. However, modern cultivation methods use integrated electronic modules as the foundation. This allowed the mass production of talismans, surmounting ancient cultivation's restraints. As long as low-level cultivators input sufficient spiritual power, they can complete the final step. It's stronger than ancient cultivation's talismans too. This magical power isn't any weaker than a high-level cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage!”
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up seeing this. He knew that Wu Sanhuai had an important mission. And now, he pulled out the good stuff.
”What kind of secrets is that star beast king hiding?”
When it was late at night, after they had their meal, he rejected Huang Tianba and Marianne's invitation and returned to his tent.
However, he snuck out in the middle of the night.
”It seems like both Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice are hiding some secrets…”
Fang Yuan floated into the sky and went to Moon Jaw Lake. He glanced at his stats window.
