Chapter 178 - Father and Son (2/2)

”Yes, it is indeed colder,” he replied in a monotonous voice, mimicking his father's.

”I knew it. Where's the old man?” Jin Wang nodded and asked.

Zeng Wu's brow twitched a couple of times, ”He heard something and went to check it out.”

”Aha, cool cool.”

Five minutes later a figure walked towards the camp. He jumped up and landed right next to them.

”So? What was it?” Jin Wang asked when the father-son pair stood in awkward silence.

Zeng Yu didn't look at him, still staring in the darkness, ”Nothing. Looks like a loose rock fell from above.”

”Ohh.”

Jin Wang tried to make small talk with the pair but only got single world replies in return. Bored, he quickly left to find another person to chat with.

Hours passed one by one and the guards changed shifts. Hao Xuan woke up and freshened up. Even in a foreign world he followed his normal routine.

He came out and was met with the scientists. All of them were ready to go out and start their respective duties.

Hao Xuan looked at the sky and it was still dark, but less so than earlier.

”Guess this is as good as it gets,” he shook his head, ”Alright, take twice as many guards, stay close and come back at the first sign of trouble. Do not let the guard down!” he ordered sternly, which was quite rare for him.

The current area they were in reminded him of the great canyon from earth. The vegetation was scarce and small in size, there were no living creatures seen so far but if flora existed, that meant fauna did as well.

The problem was they had no idea what type of creatures roamed this unfamiliar land.

Shi Chun and Ma Yu also came over, along with their four Spirit realm caretakers, asking for permission to go out and explore.

Obviously, they didn't need to ask for anything and could leave on their own, but Hao Xuan still appreciated the thought.

”Sure, just be careful. Try not to go too far. Take pictures of any strange phenomenon you find,” like a dutiful older brother he told them both.

Now it was only Hyson's group and a few soldiers left in the camp.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them, Zhurong was sitting on his shoulder looking around confusedly.
