Hearing Wang Baole's words, Li Wan 'er gave him a long, meaningful look, then turned and walked out of the catacombs. Even though her back view was graceful, the icy aura she exuded, as well as the unapproachable look on her face, made Wang Baole slightly depressed.
'No matter what, I'm still her savior. Besides, we were both taking advantage of each other last night. I was at a disadvantage too! How dare she threaten me! ' Wang Baole felt indignant, but he thought that there was no need for him to voice his thoughts. This was called showing weakness to the enemy, not cowardice.
Thinking of this, his pride grew. He clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of the Catacombs.
Looking at the clear world outside and the surrounding ice and snow, there were no signs of corrosion like last night. It was as if the blood-colored fog and wind had been an illusion and had never appeared.
But everything that happened last night, whether it was Wang Baole or Li Waner, was absolutely certain that it had really happened. Both of them fell silent and felt the strangeness of Mars.
They even felt that it might be dangerous to stay any longer. Hence, Li Waner quickly took out the cruiser. Wang Baole quickly jumped onto the cruiser as well. Under Li Waner's control, the cruiser sped towards Mars City at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, on the way back, Wang Baole and Li Waner received a large number of messages as the voice transmission rings became available. Especially on Wang Baole's end, there were messages from Lin Tianhao, teachers from Dao Mountain Mist Academy, Kim Do-myung, and a few unfamiliar imprints.
The Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College had also sent him multiple voice transmissions. Wang Baole saw that and hurriedly checked each and every one of them before replying. However, when he saw Jin Duoming's voice transmission, his expression changed drastically.
"Last night, a blood-colored fog and wind blew across thirty percent of Mars!"
Wang Baole raised his head in shock and looked at Li Waner. He realized that Li Waner's expression was equally serious. Obviously, with her status, she knew more.
Wang Baole's judgment was accurate. As one of the main people in charge of the Colony Disciplinary Order, Li Wan 'er had received comprehensive information. She knew that even though the fog had dissipated, at least half of the blood-colored area was still shrouded in fog.
Thinking of the strangeness of the incident and the scariness of the blood-colored fog, Li Waner understood that this was a serious matter. If it was not investigated thoroughly, it would be a hidden danger on Mars. After all, it had appeared outside the Colony City this time.. but if it appeared next time … inside the Colony City …
When she thought of this, Li Wan 'er's aura turned serious. She immediately increased the speed of the airship, causing it to speed off into the distance. She knew that there would be a lot of work to be done regarding the fog, and she would need to investigate and deal with it.
As for Wang Baole, he gathered his thoughts and looked at his voice transmission ring with a frown. He had received news from a teacher at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy that the military had come looking for Wang Baole last night. After failing to do so, they had taken Lin Tianhao away.
The Dao Mountain Mist Academy did not know the exact reason. Wang Baole immediately took out his voice transmission ring and sent a message to Lin Tianhao. But it was like throwing a stone into the sea. It was obvious that his communication with the outside world had been cut off.
After a moment of silence, Wang Baole looked at Li Waner beside him.
"Last night, the military came looking for me at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy and took away my Vice Dean. You have more information than I do. Do you know the situation here?"
Li Waner frowned and glanced at Wang Baole. If it had been any other time, she would have ignored him. But now, after a moment of silence, she took out her voice transmission ring and asked directly. She did not even turn her head as she spoke coldly.
"Last night, seven strange villages appeared along with the blood-colored fog and wind. According to the detection of the array formations, the danger level was not high. Hence, the Governor ordered the military to send out seven teams to investigate. Because the seven villages detected damaged array formations and Dharma treasures, each team was equipped with an Array Rune cultivator and a Dharma Armament cultivator."
When Wang Baole heard this, he immediately understood the situation. He could not help but feel worried. After all, Lin Tianhao was taking his place this time. Especially when he thought about how terrifying the blood-colored fog and wind were, Wang Baole felt uneasy. But since the military was involved, the Governor must have known as well. Perhaps he was worrying too much. After all, the military was sent to investigate. They must have made ample preparations and had a certain level of confidence.
Beside him, Li Waner seemed to have noticed Wang Baole's worry. After a moment of silence, she spoke calmly.
"Every team will be accompanied by a Core Formation realm cultivator. Also, when the military goes out, the news is always sealed. Those involved are not allowed to communicate with the outside world. This matter is top secret. If you spread it …"
"I understand, I understand. Just like the stone walls in the Catacombs, right? I understand!" When Wang Baole heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Li Waner, he suddenly felt that this girl was not bad.
Li Waner snorted and did not say anything. She controlled the cruiser to speed up. Before long, they were close to the Martian Colonial City. However, before they entered the city, Li Waner operated the cruiser. Suddenly, a black light appeared on the cruiser, and it passed through the array. When they entered District 36, which was at the edge of the city, they suddenly stopped in a remote alley.
"Get off!"
Wang Baole knew that the other party did not want others to see the two of them together. Therefore, he did not waste any time and jumped off. Before his figure could land, the cruiser roared and sped off. In an instant, it was far away.
Looking at the cruiser in the distance, Wang Baole understood that no one would know about what happened between the two of them last night. This matter would become their secret.
"Forget it. The next time I see Li Xiu, I won't beat him up." Wang Baole shook his head. He took out his cruiser and headed straight for the Dao Mountain Mist Academy. When he arrived at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, he did not feel anything different from usual. The teachers were still teaching, and the students were still cultivating and attending classes.
Obviously, the matter of the blood-colored fog and wind had been completely sealed off. Other than a limited number of people, no one else knew about it. Wang Baole only found out about it because of Kim Do-myung.
"I hope everything goes well on Tianhao's end." After returning to the academy, Wang Baole sighed. He knew that there was no point in worrying about this matter. Therefore, he focused his mind and started to cultivate again while dealing with the school's affairs.
At the same time, he paid close attention to any changes on Mars. In order to keep himself informed, he contacted many of the students' parents. Some of them were from the military. When they found out that Wang Baole knew about this matter, they hinted to him that they would inform him immediately if they received any news about the seven teams.
Just like that, Wang Baole waited for a few days. Then, he received news that one of the seven teams had returned. Wang Baole did not have access to the information they brought back. However, news from the other teams had also returned. It seemed that they were safe. However, they seemed to have been delayed by some matters and would only be able to return after they were done.
Lin Tianhao's sixth team was in the same situation.
At this time, Wang Baole could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Therefore, he calmed down and continued to cultivate the Thunder Dao: First Volume. He wanted to reach the peak of the middle Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible and then break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
At the same time, Wang Baole was almost done with the blueprint for the stronghold. Even though there were still some details that needed to be added, the general framework and direction of the stronghold had been confirmed. Now, other than perfecting the blueprint, he also needed sufficient construction puppets.
Therefore, his focus was placed on the construction-type puppets. As he continued to study, time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Occasionally, the parents would send news about the seven teams. Everything was going well. In this half a month, two more teams had returned.
Just like that, another seven days passed. When the fourth team returned, Wang Baole, who was meditating, suddenly heard a cracking sound coming from his storage bag.
"What's that sound?" Wang Baole was stunned for a moment. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked at his storage bag in surprise. He flipped his hand open and scanned it. Very quickly, with a strange expression, an egg appeared in his hand.
This egg was only the size of a palm. It was the ferocious beast egg that the instructor had given to Wang Baole when he had been a Hundred Seedling in the Federation. He still remembered that the instructor had said that the egg had been picked up from the sea of ferocious beasts and that he didn't know what it would give birth to.
At that time, besides giving one to Wang Baole, he had also given one to Kongdao.
He had taken this egg back to Ethereal Dao College and arranged for someone to incubate it. It had taken a long time. Finally, when he was about to set off for Mars, there were signs that it was about to hatch. Therefore, he had thrown it into his storage bag. However, due to the series of events after arriving on Mars and the fact that the egg hadn't hatched, he had almost forgotten about its existence.
When he took it out, he immediately saw that cracks had appeared on the egg. There was even a wave of True Breath emanating from the egg …
It seemed like it was about to break out of the egg!
"It's True Breath the moment it's born?" Wang Baole was also shocked. Then, he became excited and expectant.
