Seeing the rescue team move, Adjutant Li walked to a military off-road vehicle and looked at the blind old man.
“Senior, everything is going according to plan. I don’t think you need to do anything.”
“Are you sure?” The old man leaned to the side.
“We’re well prepared. So far, ten of the twenty students who were eliminated were attacked by those Ghost Disciples. They’re all only lightly injured. There’s no problem,” Adjutant Li replied confidently. “Moreover, most of these Ghost Disciples are only Level 30. Even if there are Contract Soul Masters who have lurked beyond Level 40, there won’t be any problems.”
“The remaining 13 contestants were outstanding in all aspects to be able to explore until now. It’s basically impossible for those Ghost Disciples to meet and kill them before pressing the alarm.”
The champions of the Enlightenment Cup were all elites chosen by the major cities of the West Peak Continent.
Adjutant Li was still very confident in them.
“Then there’s a question. Have you thought about it?” The old man with the slanted eyes suddenly said, “On the way, why would a Ghost Disciple attack the deer group? To expose himself?”
“It… It shouldn’t have been done intentionally, right?” Adjutant Li frowned, “It was accidentally discovered by Wang Che. If he didn’t discover it, we can’t be sure of their whereabouts.”
“What about attacking the deer group? Why did those Ghost Disciples attack the deer group? If they don’t attack the deer group, there’s no possibility of being exposed.”
Adjutant Li had never thought of this question.
“Ghost disciples are cruel to begin with…” Adjutant Li thought for a few seconds. They wantonly broke the rules, trampled on the laws, and attacked the soul beasts in the wilderness.
It was quite normal.
“Then why did they only attack the deer group and not the other soul beasts?” The blind old man asked.
Adjutant Li was stunned.
He had not thought of this question.
At this moment, a military Alert Eagle flew over from afar.
It landed on the blind old man’s shoulder.
The Alert Eagle called out to the blind old man.
It seemed to be transmitting some kind of message.
After hearing this, the blind old man suddenly stood up, his expression slightly gloomy.
“Senior, what are you doing?” Adjutant Li was puzzled.
This was near the Soul Earth. They needed Alert Eagles to transmit information, which meant that it was very far away.
This was because the interference here was too great. Even military communication devices could only transmit messages at a short distance.
“I just confirmed something,” the blind old man said slowly.
“What?”
“I asked an old friend from Skyheart City’s soul beast base about the deer group.”
The blind old man walked forward step by step, “This deer herd is indeed not simple… That old friend told me that according to current research, if a Rainbow Deer King can appear in the deer herd, then there’s a chance that a rare treasure, a Life Origin Stone, will appear.”
“Life Origin Stone?” Adjutant Li had heard of this treasure.
This thing could be said to be extremely rare. It contained a vast life force and could transform into any attribute life force without any side effects.
It could increase a soul pet’s lifespan by a large amount.
There was no market for it.
It was difficult to find normally.
“Those Ghost Disciples are for the Life Origin Stone?” Adjutant Li understood.
“No, it’s not just that.” As the blind old man spoke, he directly sent a voice transmission, “Have you forgotten that at the top of the Floating Forest… there’s a slumbering soul beast?”
“You mean that hundred thousand year soul beast, Sky God Dragon, Sirios!” Adjutant Li felt as if his head had been struck by something.
He suddenly recalled something.
There was an ancient soul beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years in the Floating Forest.
However, this soul beast had some background.
Thousands of years ago, after humans and soul beasts defeated the Soul Demons and Dark Beasts of the other world, the Floating Forest was not like this.
It did not calm down either.
At the time, the shattered space and the violent soul power made it extremely easy for this place to form a wormhole and continue to be invaded by another world.
With the strength of humans back then, it was far from enough to repair these chaotic areas.
Fortunately, soul beasts and humans had already joined forces at the time.
Thus, after a discussion between humans and soul beasts, many remaining soul beasts with special strength began to come to the Soul Earth to repair the shattered space within.
It was as if they were patching up the world.
As time passed, the shattered space of the Soul Earth was gradually repaired, forming a unique terrain.
As for the soul beasts that used up their lives, they fell into a long slumber because of this and could only rest in the Soul Earth.
At the same time, they could suppress these Soul Earths to prevent any accidents from happening.
However, that history was too far away.
As the modern world steadily developed, the ancient soul beasts that had once lived in the Soul Earth had been sleeping for too long.
They were all existences from thousands of years ago.
