Lan Mofeng, upon hearing this, also focused his vision and looked over, but found nothing either. He puzzledly said, “There’s nothing missing. What exactly are you looking for, Diwu?”
Diwu Qingrou did not respond. She concentrated and sensed for a while, finally smiling slightly, “I see, it turns out there’s a lack of human presence…”
“Humans can bolster courage and also instill awe,” Diwu Qingrou said deeply. “The location of a battlefield, under normal circumstances, is just a desolate mountain wilderness. However, if there is a large army lying in ambush, even if no one can see the army’s figures, the atmosphere from afar will be vastly different.”
“Similarly, even a battlefield that has just experienced a brutal battle will remain desolate after both sides collect their dead, but it will also have a hint of dead energy.”
“Humans are a marvelous existence. As the saying goes, ‘dogs rely on human power’; in fact, the key to this saying lies in the two words ‘human power’.”
“Humans, amidst the grass and mountains, can also rely on ‘human power’.”
“At present, what is lacking opposite us is precisely ‘human power,’ so I deduce that their base has now turned into an empty city.” Diwu Qingrou concluded, but instead of feeling happy, she felt worried and quietly pondered.
There was no doubt that the battlefield location was here, and this could not be changed. However, the enemy's personnel had all vanished. Where could they have gone? Even if they have hidden under the snow, which snow are they hiding under!?
What scheme could they be plotting?
At this moment, Diwu Qingrou felt a sense of discomfort, as if she had “punched into thin air.”
What kind of enemy is the most terrifying? It is the enemy whose trump cards have not yet been fully revealed that is the most frightening!
What kind of enemy brings the greatest fear? It is indeed the unknown enemy that is the most terrifying!
“Send out commands to assign experts to check the progress beneath the snow layers,” Diwu Qingrou ordered, and Lan Mofeng promptly left.
The progress beneath the snow layers must not be spoken of openly; there is a specialized method of communication for this. Someone is responsible for receiving the sound transmission from a distance and then conveying it outward.
“The Chen Family has reported no findings.”
“The Ye Family has reported no findings.”
“The Xiao Clan has reported no findings.”
“The Stone Family has reported no findings.”
“The Ye Family has reported no findings.”
“Zhuge Family…”
…
Diwu Qingrou's brows furrowed deeply. There were no findings anywhere, yet the enemy’s base had obviously turned into an empty city.
Where are the people? Where did they go? If they are not under the snow, can they fly? Even if they truly flew away collectively, there should still be some trace, right?
Moreover, did the two teams dispatched by Mo Tianji just give up like that?
Previously, Diwu Qingrou had laid out arrangements on the ground. Although four teams had gone out, she estimated that the enemy would certainly have corresponding arrangements, but she had not seen it with her own eyes.
Now, seeing such a strange situation, her first guess was: did the enemy retreat completely?
If they had indeed retreated entirely, then it would be impossible to send anyone out anymore… So she thought it could only be those two teams.
But Diwu Qingrou did not relax her vigilance. She ordered, “All troops stand guard, do not act rashly! Mo Tianji spending over a billion Amethyst is definitely not just a bluff… If we miss today’s terrain and opportunity, then even if Mo Tianji wants to engage in battle again in the future, he will no longer have such an opportunity!”
“This place must undoubtedly be the main battlefield! Since Mo Tianji wants to compare patience with us, then let’s see who can hold their nerves first.” Diwu Qingrou’s eyes shone with brilliance: “Inform Elder Xiao that I ask him to definitely not act rashly!”
