The inside of the trench was a typical inverted triangle. The space inside was huge but it was filled with the roots and leaves of unknown plants. Ling Lan and Ling Xiao didn't activate their engines. Instead, they chose to free-fall. They carefully maneuvered their mechas to avoid the roots and leaves that they didn't know were dangerous. They landed safely at the bottom of the trench without making any noise.
The surroundings were completely silent. It was as if there were no living creatures in this deep trench. However, Ling Lan and Ling Xiao knew very well that what was hiding here was definitely a terrifying creature. It was just that the other party had hidden so perfectly that they couldn't find it immediately.
Ling Lan didn't choose to wait passively. She activated her spiritual power and controlled the entire trench. Then, she waved her mecha's arm forcefully. The long beam gun caused a ripple in the water. It was as though a drop of water was dropped into a hot pot. It instantly woke up this "dead zone".
However, the movement that Ling Lan made didn't attract the other party's attention. There was still no movement in the surroundings. Ling Lan couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand why that thing didn't attack her. Was she wrong? Was there really no terrifying creature in this trench?
Ling Lan immediately rejected this sudden thought. She believed in her innate talent Profound Insight. Since her innate talent had given her a warning of extreme danger, then there must be a creature here whose strength exceeded hers. However, for the other party to be able to resist and not make a move, there must be some other reason...
Ling Lan had an idea. She looked at Ling Xiao and had an answer in her heart. Did the other party have the ability to sense danger like her? Did it sense her father's terrifying ability so it didn't dare to attack her?
Ling Lan was speechless. She originally wanted her father to help her as a form of insurance. Now, it seemed like this idea was a bad one. The other party was so scared that it hid and didn't want to attack her. If she couldn't completely get rid of the other party, even if they confirmed that there was an energy source here, 250 Ace Mecha Clan wouldn't be able to become the true discoverer of the energy source.
After all, her father, Ling Xiao, would have to leave this place one day. Once Ling Xiao wasn't here, this dangerous creature would definitely cause trouble. If she couldn't get rid of this fellow before other people found out … Ling Lan's mood instantly became bad.
This was because the military had stipulated that any discovered energy source must be a safe and non-threatening energy source unless it was an unavoidable factor. If it was discovered to be a dangerous new energy source, then it would depend on who resolved the danger in the end. That person would then become the true owner of the new energy source. Ling Lan didn't want to work for others.
Then, how could she make the other party not be afraid of Ling Xiao? Ling Lan turned her gaze to Ling Xiao, thinking about how to get rid of her father who was in the way...
Ling Xiao suddenly sneezed, feeling a little chilly. He glanced suspiciously at the temperature in the cockpit. It was very normal, so why did he feel a little cold? Did his wife was missing him? Yes, it must be. Ling Xiao thought happily. His wife must have experienced the feeling of not seeing him for a day felt like three years. She must be missing him by now and regretting chasing him out of the house!
In the general's mansion of the 23rd Division headquarters on Planet Southcrest, Lan Luofeng was sitting on her sofa and looking at the latest information that only senior colonels and above could see. Every rank had access to information, and the higher the rank, the more complete the information they were allowed to see.
Lan Luofeng flipped through the information for a while but didn't find the information she wanted to know. She sighed and turned off her communicator. Adjutant He, who was standing beside her, said carefully, "Senior Colonel, actually, if you want to know more, you can ask General Ling Xiao."
As Lan Luofeng's adjutant, Adjutant He knew that some time ago, her superior had an intense argument with General Ling. Of course, the content of their argument wasn't about family matters or the appearance of a love rival. It was about their son, Young Master Lan.
Adjutant He thought of the young and promising Ling Lan who broke the record in three rounds and formed a battle team when he was still a newbie. After that, he obtained the newest ace mecha from Caesar and used his merits to become the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Adjutant He looked at him with admiration. General Ling Xiao was indeed strong and worthy of respect. However, that was Senior Colonel Lan. He was a legend from the previous generation. Luckily, they still had Young Master Lan.
To be exact, this argument was started by Senior Colonel Lan. Senior Colonel Lan was extremely unhappy that Young Master Lan was sent to a land clearing mission by General Ling Xiao. In reality, Adjutant He also felt that General Ling Xiao was too bold. Although Adjutant He believed that if Young Master Lan had a few more years, he would definitely be able to do such a task. However, it was too early now. After all, Young Master Lan was a super recruit who had just entered the division for less than a year. He had only been the regiment commander for half a year.
No matter how capable a person was, they wouldn't be able to organize a mecha clan in such a short amount of time. Furthermore, it would be a useless mecha clan with only useless people and newbies. Even Young Master Lan wouldn't be able to organize a mecha clan in such a short amount of time to complete a land clearing mission.
The result of their argument was that they parted on bad terms. General Ling Xiao looked gentle and easy to talk to but in reality, once he decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind. Even Lan Luofeng, who loved him as much as his life, couldn't make him change his mind.
Lan Luofeng, who couldn't get a satisfactory answer, angrily chased General Ling Xiao back to the 23rd division's headquarters. The two of them were in a cold war. General Ling Xiao hadn't returned to the general's residence for more than a month. This made Adjutant He anxious. It should be known that there were many young and beautiful female soldiers in the headquarters. If General Ling Xiao drowned his sorrows in alcohol, her senior colonel would be furious.
Thus, when she had the chance, Adjutant He didn't forget to remind her senior colonel to be gentle and coax the general to go home.
Lan Luofeng knew that her adjutant was being kind. She knew where Ling Xiao was now. Even if she wanted to look for him, she wouldn't be able to find him now.
However, she definitely wasn't thinking about that bastard now. She was only thinking about her cute and obedient Baby Lan. That damn Ling Xiao. How dare he make the decision to send her precious daughter to do a land clearing mission! Thinking about this, Lan Luofeng's anger rose again. She felt that she hadn't beaten Ling Xiao enough that day. She couldn't get rid of the hatred in her heart.
What kind of mission was a land clearing mission? She was a soldier of the Federation. Of course, she knew that the death rate of a land clearing mission in the Federation had never been lower than 40%. It was more like one out of two people dying. How could she not be worried about this? How could she not hate Ling Xiao? In the past, Ling Xiao had mistakenly sent her daughter to the men's military academy. She was already angry but she still forgave Ling Xiao. However, she didn't expect him to take advantage of her kindness. This time, he didn't even inform her before sending her daughter to do a land clearing mission. If her adjutant He didn't tell her, she would probably still be in the dark about it …
Luckily, that bastard still acted like a father. In the end, he promised to personally protect her daughter. Only then did Lan Luofeng feel better.
After all, Ling Xiao was the commander of an army. He couldn't leave the headquarters for too long. In order to cover for Ling Xiao's quiet departure, the two of them used this fight as a reason to end the cold war. Ling Xiao was depressed and shut himself in the headquarters. During this time, he only met with the First Chief of Staff He Xuyang. (Poor Chief of Staff He. He was once again tricked by General Ling Xiao. When necessary, he still had to pretend to be a general to read documents … Indeed, he owed the Ling family too much in his previous life. In this life, he had to work hard to repay his debt.)
Lan Luofeng, on the other hand, was alone in the general's mansion dealing with all the people who came to spy on her. Lan Luofeng hated these kinds of public relations activities the most … but for her precious daughter, she endured it.
Of course, the depressed Lan Luofeng decided that unless her Baby Lan returned safely, she would never forgive that bastard!
At this moment, Lan Luofeng definitely didn't regret and miss him like Ling Xiao thought. Well, it wasn't that she didn't miss him. After all, Lan Luofeng still wanted to beat Ling Xiao up a few more times to vent her anger.
That's why you should never provoke a tigress that protects her cub! There was no reason for that.
And our brave and powerful Daddy Ling was beaten out of the door by our Mommy Lan … Let's light a candle for General Ling Xiao's Daddy!
Ling Xiao was happily thinking about Lan Luofeng. Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura coming towards him. Without hesitation, Ling Xiao blocked it with his giant sword.
"Clang!" The sound of two cold weapons colliding rang out in the water. The huge tremor shook the surrounding water and quickly spread out.
Ling Xiao's lips curled into a smile. "This is the method you thought of? “
"Since it's afraid of you and doesn't dare to attack, then let it think that it has an opportunity." Ling Lan replied calmly. In such a short time, she really couldn't think of a good way to lure it out. It wasn't that she couldn't make Ling Xiao leave, but Ling Lan wouldn't put herself in danger just to lure it out. That would be a stupid thing to do.
After thinking about it, the only way was to make it misunderstand that they weren't on the same side. Let it think that it had an opportunity to attack. No matter who it attacked, as long as it attacked, she would be able to find out where it was hiding.
"That's indeed a solution. Then let Daddy test you and see if you've improved in this period of time!" Ling Xiao said with interest.
The creature here was a danger to Ling Lan, but not to him. In fact, he had already faintly sensed the creature's location. However, Ling Lan said that the prey was hers, so it wasn't convenient for him to attack. Moreover, he didn't want his daughter to miss out on a battle with a stronger opponent. With him holding the fort, he could protect his daughter from dying. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so how could Ling Xiao ruin it?
