Wang Teng's sudden departure infuriated Niu Li.
At the same time, he had a headache. Just as Nie Jianqiang said, this kid was not easy to deal with.
"Wang Teng shouldn't have gone far. Let's look around and chase him back," Kong Li said.
As a senior, she did not want to see a prodigy from her alma mater perish here.
Niu Li pondered for a moment and nodded. "Half an hour is the limit. If there's still no result after half an hour, there's no need to search anymore. You must gather back here. You should understand that the information must be brought back."
"Understood!"
Kong Li and Yuwen Xuan nodded at the same time. They did not say anything else and looked around for Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was going to tell them the location of the secret passage. However, Niu Li and the others were not optimistic about his plan, so he did not have time to tell them the location of the secret passage.
Hence, Kong Li and the others could only search around. If they were lucky, they might be able to catch up with him.
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to their original location.
Kong Li's expression was ugly. She said angrily, "Is that kid rushing to his death? Why did he run so fast?"
"Alright, a general on the battlefield is not subject to the orders of the emperor. That kid is a troublemaker. Although I expected him to do something, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly." Niu Li shook his head and sighed.
"That's his own choice. Life and death are predestined. Fortune and misfortune reap what they sow," Yuwen Xuan said coldly.
"Scram!" Kong Li glared at him.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Speaking of which, that kid is very smart. Nothing bad might happen to him," Niu Li said. "There's nothing we can do here. Let's go back and report to the higher-ups."
After all, Kong Li was a soldier. She knew that Niu Li was right. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, can he live? It's up to him. "
…
Wang Teng did not know what was going on.
He thought that even if Niu Li and the others found out that he was missing, they would choose to go back for the mission.
That way, although his actions were against orders, it would not affect the transmission of the information.
Unexpectedly, Niu Li and the others stopped to look for him.
However, Wang Teng did not have time to think too much about it. At this moment, he was chasing after the mysterious man along the secret passage.
Due to the delay, the mysterious man had gone quite far away, even beyond the range of his Spirit Vision.
Fortunately, Wang Teng had memorized the direction of the secret passage and followed it all the way. Finally, he saw the Force light cluster that represented the mysterious man.
Luckily!
Otherwise, he would definitely return empty-handed, and that would be a great loss of face!
Wang Teng quietly heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes flashed, and his speed suddenly increased. He decided to rush in front of the other party and set up an ambush.
No matter what, the mysterious man was a 9-star soldier-level martial warrior. He couldn't be underestimated. He had to be careful. It would be best if he could catch the mysterious man off guard. Otherwise, he might have to put in more effort.
A mountain range appeared in front of him. Judging from the direction the mysterious man was moving, he was heading straight for the mountain range.
Unsurprisingly, the exit of the secret passage was in the mountain range.
The length of the secret passage was beyond Wang Teng's expectations.
It must have been hard on the dark apparitions to dig such a long secret passage.
Wang Teng couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the exit for now. He could only keep an eye on the mysterious man's movement.
More than ten minutes later, he appeared in a valley.
He activated his Spirit Vision and scanned the valley. Finally, he found something strange.
The exit of the secret passage was in a cave. However, it was covered by a high-level Runes array. Normal people wouldn't be able to find it.
However, as an advanced Runemaster, Wang Teng had a strong mental strength. Naturally, it wasn't a problem for him.
Wang Teng concealed himself and stepped into the cave.
The next moment, he couldn't help but frown.
There were actually two dark Force light clusters in the cave. They were about 3-star soldier-level martial warriors.
Wang Teng sighed helplessly. He had miscalculated. He didn't expect there to be two dark apparitions guarding this place.
He could only give up on killing the mysterious man here. If he wanted to kill the mysterious man, he had to kill the two dark apparitions first.
However, the mysterious man was very close now. There wasn't enough time.
If he took the risk to kill the two dark apparitions, Wang Teng wasn't confident that he wouldn't be discovered. If he alerted the enemy, the chances of him capturing the mysterious man would be lower. It wouldn't be worth it.
Also, Wang Teng wanted to capture the mysterious man alive and get some useful information from him.
If Niu Li and the others knew about his thoughts, they would probably say that he was overestimating himself and indulging in wild fantasies.
"Capturing him alive? It's not easy!"
Wang Teng touched his chin. If he really wanted to kill the mysterious man, he had at least 80% confidence. However, if he wanted to capture him alive, he would only have less than 50% confidence.
He looked at his attributes panel and scanned through the various abilities. Suddenly, his gaze paused.
"Wait, I think I have a brilliant idea." Wang Teng's lips curled up. A strange smile appeared on his face.
He quietly retreated from the cave, hid himself, and waited outside.
A moment later, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out of the cave. He even wore a mask on his face. No one could see his face.
"Tsk, how cautious!" In the dark, Wang Teng curled his lips.
The mysterious man looked around and then walked out of the valley. He chose a direction and entered the forest.
Wang Teng followed him secretly.
Half an hour later, the mysterious man was far away. After making sure that no one was following him, he took off his black robe and mask, revealing his true face.
He was a handsome man in his thirties. He had a neat face and a buzz cut. He looked very smart and capable.
There was a scar on his forehead that was extremely conspicuous.
Under the black robe was the special red and black military uniform of the Xingwu Continent's military!
Wang Teng had seen it when he was in Yang City. Hence, he was familiar with it.
When he saw the military uniform, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a mocking smile.
Then, his murderous intent surged.
"This person deserves to be killed!"
After the mysterious man revealed his true face, he sped up and rushed in a certain direction deep in the mountains.
"He doesn't plan to leave this place?" Wang Teng frowned. He could only follow him silently and wait for the right time.
Both of them didn't fly in the air. There were many powerful starbeasts in the mountains. They were too big of a target and could easily be attacked by the starbeasts.
On the way, Wang Teng suddenly realized that the mysterious man seemed to have a purpose. He wasn't running around randomly.
Roar!
Suddenly, a gigantic starbeast covered in scales rushed out of the forest and pounced on the mysterious man. It opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow him.
"Scram!"
The mysterious man snorted and threw a punch. He killed the seven-star starbeast on the spot.
He didn't look at it carefully. He put the starbeast's corpse into his spatial ring and continued forward.
Wang Teng's gaze fell on the location of the seven-star starbeast that he had just killed.
Although the corpse was taken away, the attribute bubbles were left behind.
[Earth Force * 180]
[Wood Force * 60]
Blank Attribute * 300
…
A seven-star starbeast naturally had a lot of attribute values.
Wang Teng chuckled and took the attribute bubbles without hesitation. Then, he followed the mysterious man.
He didn't expect that following the mysterious man would bring him such benefits.
Could it be that God saw that he was working too hard and gave him a tip?
Wang Teng thought narcissistically.
On the way, powerful starbeasts appeared from time to time.
The mysterious man had deliberately avoided them, but he still encountered all kinds of starbeasts. He had to kill them.
Wang Teng was very happy to pick up the attributes behind him.
As the mysterious man kept going deeper into the mountains, the starbeasts he encountered were extremely powerful.
In fact, he had deliberately avoided the starbeasts above the eight-star level. However, the mountains were only so big. He couldn't take a detour everywhere. Therefore, he could only choose to face the weaker starbeasts. These starbeasts ranged from five-star to seven-star.
Even so, Wang Teng's harvest was extremely great.
His various Force attributes kept increasing.
The blank attribute also reached a new height.
Blank Attribute: 4/350
At this moment, Wang Teng was hiding in the dark. He happily watched the mysterious man fight with a giant starbeast.
"Fight, fight well. Fight with all your might and get more attributes!"
Wang Teng suddenly felt lucky that he followed the mysterious man. If not, he wouldn't have so many attributes to pick up. Moreover, they were all free.
He looked at the mysterious man and nodded.
What a good free laborer!
…
Boom, boom, boom!
Below, the giant starbeast hissed in pain. Its terrifying body kept twitching and twisting on the ground. Then, it gradually stopped breathing.
The mysterious man panted. It was really not easy to come all the way here.
With his ability as a nine-star soldier-level martial warrior, those starbeasts naturally couldn't hurt him. However, he was very tired.
However, in order to get close to that place, he had to do this.
He kept the giant starbeast's corpse and quickly rushed into the mountains. Time was tight. He didn't dare to waste any more time.
[Fire Force * 210]
[Wood Force * 120]
Blank Attribute * 280
…
Wang Teng picked up the attribute bubbles and quickly followed the mysterious man.
At night, a bonfire rose. The mysterious man was roasting a star beast's pig leg in the forest. The fragrance was very tempting.
However, he used his Force to lock it in an area. It wouldn't attract any star beasts.
Wang Teng wasn't far away. He secretly observed the mysterious man.
Originally, he had already prepared some poison to secretly drug the mysterious man. Now, he really wanted to see what the mysterious man's motive was. Why did he spend so much effort to go deep into the mountains?
It would be best if he could pick up some benefits.
In the mountains, the night wasn't peaceful. Roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.
The mysterious man was very vigilant. Once a star beast approached, he would leave. He used up a lot of energy during the day. Hence, he didn't want to fight at night.
Wang Teng was very resentful. He didn't know how many times he was woken up this night. Couldn't he have a good sleep? He was simply causing trouble.
The next day, with a pair of panda eyes, he continued to follow the mysterious man.
After about half a day, the mysterious man killed all kinds of star beasts along the way. Finally, he arrived at a lake deep in the mountains.
Wang Teng saw this place from afar. His eyes instantly focused.
