“Therefore, this time we must absolutely complete the order from Heavenly Dao Lord!” The captain made a final summary.
Sensing the silence above him again, Tang Haofei squinted his eyes and quickly calculated the current situation.
Heavenly Dao sent someone to kill Wen Yu...
And there’s this unknown place, Outer Heaven...
Moreover…
For these souls that have died and come back to life in the Immortal Heroic World, they are well aware of their current state—this does not align with Tang Haofei's earlier judgment.
The development and growth of intelligent races are always accompanied by power disputes and internal competition, but in situations where life is running out, engaging in such trivial matters seems rather ridiculous.
What was that saying? As one approaches death, their words become kind! From the conversation of the few earlier, Tang Haofei could also deduce the predicament Heavenly Dao is currently facing—lacking lifespan, is Heavenly Dao trying to annoy Wen Yu before dying?
As for the claim that Outer Heaven can leave a spark for the Immortal Heroic World, Tang Haofei absolutely does not believe it!
Old Tang underground scratched his head; he also couldn't understand what Heavenly Dao really meant.
...
“How much farther?”
A voice came from above ground, and at almost the same moment, Tang Haofei underground took out the compass from the Spatial Ring.
“Not far, and…”
“His highness the young master is heading in our direction.”
Tang Haofei immediately discerned the truth of this statement; it was clear from the compass in his hand that it indicated Wen Yu's position.
A thought flashed through Tang Haofei's mind—Wen Yu is coming to find him!
“Stop!”
The captain called out sharply, bringing the advancing team to a halt.
“Get ready here; later we will pretend to meet by chance, first gain his highness's trust, and then take him out in one strike when he’s unprepared—don’t give him a chance to escape!”
“Understood!”
“Fatty, take out the positioning compass and see if anyone nearby is playing tricks like a mantis catching a cicada, with a yellow bird behind!”
Positioning compass?
Another new term, and this term immediately gave Tang Haofei a bad feeling—could it be that these guys are all entering with full-map hacks?
However, the response from above made Tang Haofei relax.
“Captain, there’s no one else nearby; the positioning compass only shows us four and his highness's position, but I don’t know if there are any demonic creatures around.”
“Got it.” The captain replied, then issued his final order to his team in a low voice.
“Be prepared!”
...
Tang Haofei set aside thoughts about the positioning compass—while it showed the positions of these four guys and Wen Yu, it didn’t indicate his own, a mystery that Old Tang would never solve.
The more practical issue at hand was the target of the four-person team above.
Having figured this out, Tang Haofei gradually moved underground, closing in on Wen Yu’s direction. Under the cover of the natural forces and the fact that the team’s positioning compass did not detect his position, Tang Haofei’s small movements went unnoticed by anyone!
...
“We’re getting closer.”
The fat guy with the positioning compass continuously reported Wen Yu's position to his teammates, when suddenly, a mental wave instantly returned to the fat guy's mind.
“Idiot! Using mental waves, if you’re too close, his highness might hear you.”
“Oh~~” The fat guy replied somewhat aggrieved, then continued, “Boss, there’s a presence of demonic creatures about 50 kilometers to the east; let’s head there in a bit.”
“Okay.” The captain replied without changing his expression, then spoke to a lanky guy beside him.
“Pole, how many have we gathered so far?”
“We’ve already hunted 12 level 7 demonic creatures.”
As if following the normal process of a squad’s harvest, this four-person team sat under a withered tree, discussing the tactics and plans ahead while mentally researching how to take down “his highness the young master”!
