The six-fingered red-tailed beast was wary of the stronghold. It watched the stronghold from afar. After a few seconds, it prepared to turn around.
Ye Chong was only curious about one thing about the red-tailed beast - where did it come from? Killing a red-tailed beast was not very useful, but if he could find out where they came from, it would be more useful to Ye Chong. However, it seemed to be intelligent. Should he kill it? If the leader of a red-tailed beast "horde" was intelligent, then it would be much more difficult to destroy them. Ye Chong was confident that he could kill it. He had mostly recovered his strength. When he was piloting Han Jia, he could already kill a six-fingered red-tailed beast. Celest was now much stronger than Han Jia, and he was much stronger than before.
However, it would be difficult to find out where the red-tailed beast came from!
Ye Chong thought for a few seconds, and made his decision.
Ye Chong ordered expressionlessly, "Send a hundred mech piloting students with a score of 95 and above to follow it. Report back if anything happens."
"Yes sir." Appilok went to make the arrangements. He was familiar with the students, and knew who to send for this kind of mission.
Mechs on standby immediately took off from the stronghold and followed the red-tailed beast. Tailing required good mech piloting skills. The pursuer must have a good sense of distance, and be able to predict the target's next move quickly.
Ye Chong turned around after making all the arrangements.
"Why are you here?" Ye Chong looked at Rui Bing.
Rui Bing replied calmly, "It's Aried. He's doing a spatial experiment, and ran into some problems."
"Are they alright? Did they find Mu and Shang? “
Rui Bing nodded, then shook her head. "Sang Pu and the others are fine. Planet Yi Ju is developing rapidly now, and they're very busy. Did you get separated from Mu and Shang? Before I left, they had no news of Mu and Shang. "
"We got separated in Gray Valley," Ye Chong replied.
Sang Kan could not help but interrupt, "So you're in Gray Valley, young sir? No wonder we couldn't find you. Everyone's been looking for you. They've searched everywhere in He Yue Galaxy, but there's no news of you. The path to Gray Valley has been taken over by the red-tailed beasts. That's why we didn't go. "
Ye Chong nodded. His gaze fell upon Aried. "You're Aried? Are you a spatial scientist? "
"Yes, sir." Aried had vaguely heard of this sir before, so he naturally knew what kind of attitude he should adopt. After all, the senior management of Planet Yi Ju was his only investor.
"What kind of experiment are you doing?" Ye Chong was curious. What kind of experiment would send them safely to Darkniss?
"We are currently doing experiments on spatial windows. I discovered that if we use high-intensity energy stimulation, we can create spatial windows. My dream is to create a faster and more convenient way to travel. The principle of my experiment is … "
When Aried started talking about his experiments, he was in high spirits and could not stop talking. Ye Chong did not interrupt him. Instead, he listened very patiently and asked a few questions from time to time. This made him even more overjoyed and excited.
"Then what happened to you?" Ye Chong asked.
Aried shrugged. "Because I didn't know Miss Bing was wearing a dimension keystone."
"The dimension keystone affects spatial windows?" Ye Chong was intrigued. He remembered how he was sent from the base on Spectre to Dual Forest. Also, when he first entered Darkniss, Xuan Ning had told him that the dimension keystone had a strong effect on spatial windows.
Ye Chong decided to let Aried continue his research. Perhaps he would be able to find a way back. Besides, Ye Chong had already thought of an assistant for Aried – Sha Ya. After Sha Ya broke through to Rank Nine, she could clearly sense the changes in the Spatial Window. This was a great help to spatial scientists.
"Where did you get this teardrop mineralite?" Ye Chong took out the teardrop mineralite about the size of his thumb. The teardrop mineralite was huge. It was rare even among the teardrop mineralites he had. Darkniss did not produce energy crystals. Ye Chong had already confirmed that. To alleviate the energy pressure, Ye Chong had spent a lot of effort searching for energy crystals. However, the results were disappointing. So far, he had not found any.
Now, he found a teardrop mineralite. This was unbelievable. He was not surprised that the teardrop mineralite had attracted so many wild animals, including the snowshade leopard and the red-tailed beast.
He remembered the time he found the teardrop mineralite, the dark spatial window, and the eight-fingered red-tailed beast. Teardrop mineralite … spatial window … red-tailed beast. Was there a connection between these three?
Mei Wu said respectfully, "A few days ago, when I was returning home from an expedition, I found many animal carcasses along the way. I was curious, so I followed the direction of the carcasses. When I reached the lakeside, I found two Snake Lizards arguing over the stone. I was curious, so I snatched it. However, I did not pay much attention to it, because I did not recognize it. I did not expect to be hunted down by a group of wild animals. Coincidentally, this young lady here helped me. "
She could naturally see the unusual relationship between Rui Bing and Ye Chong, and her attitude towards Rui Bing also became more respectful. The strong were king. This was the same everywhere, and it was even more obvious among shooters. High level shooters and low level shooters were not on the same level in all aspects.
To Mei Wu, Ye Chong was far more powerful than she had imagined. She had witnessed Ye Chong kill a snowshade leopard, and then fight against three snowshade leopards for 20 minutes. It was a huge shock to her. Everything in the Stronghold seemed to challenge the limits of her imagination, and the creator of it was this cold young man in front of her.
12 hours later, the students who had been tailing the red-tailed beast returned. They reported that there was a narrow crack not far from the Sea of Threads. The red-tailed beast had entered the crack. They gave the exact location of the crack, so that they could find it easily next time.
Ye Chong went to the crack to have a look. The crack was well hidden, leading straight into the Sea of Threads. However, Ye Chong could not see what was inside, so he did not go in. However, he had made up his mind. Once the time was right, he would lead a team into the crack to investigate. He suspected that the snowshade leopards and the Gold Dragons had come from this crack.
The addition of Rui Bing and the rest to Ye Chong was not only a boost in strength, but also a subtle effect. Ye Chong could only vaguely feel this subtle influence, but he could not figure out why after thinking about it carefully. Ye Chong quickly gave up on this difficult problem with a low chance of success, and continued with his grand plan.
None of the students had dimension keystones in their mechs. Now that Aried was here, this problem was solved. For a spatial scientist with profound attainments in spatial science, this was not a problem at all. Ye Chong also gave Aried all the information on spatial science from the three chips Kui had given him. Aried plunged into it as if he had found a treasure.
Sha Ya was ordered by Ye Chong to help Aried. She had nothing to do now, but she remained calm. Compared to when she was at Level 8, she was much more mature now.
The construction of the starship was still going on. The project was not interrupted because of the incident. Resources were also being shipped in from Northern Lands, so Ye Chong had nothing to worry about.
The hundreds of shooters progressed quickly in their training. Shooting was easy for them. They did not have much physical training. Instead, they had to familiarize themselves with weapons that were too complicated for them. They also had to coordinate with their teammates.
Ye Chong did not plan to let them pilot mechs. Their future job would be warships.
Rui Bing was like Ye Chong's shadow, following him wherever he went. She rarely spoke, and wore a calm expression. She wore a snow-white training garb, and looked impressive. Everyone in the stronghold knew about the relationship between Ye Chong and Rui Bing.
Rui Bing's training garb was no longer the one she wore when she crossed the Sea of Threads. This was a gift from Jin Weidong when he came back to visit the Matriarch. Rui Bing, who had always been calm, could not help but look pleasantly surprised when she saw the white training garb. Ye Chong's other subordinates were both envious and impressed by Jin Weidong.
Ye Chong ordered Jin Weidong to bring a few more training garbs. Although Rui Bing's expression was indifferent, clever people like Jin Weidong could see the genuine joy hidden in the mistress's cold eyes.
Sang Kan, on the other hand, continued to work with Aried. Other than that, he spent most of his time with Duan Qian. Duan Qian was beaten to a pulp by Ye Chong. However, Duan Qian was very resilient. He kept fighting despite his failures. Sang Kan was impressed by him, and became more diligent in teaching him. Duan Qian improved rapidly.
Mei Wu received the Spider that Ye Chong promised her, and met the Shu sisters. She was not very close to the Shu sisters, and left after a few words of greeting. She was a Level 9 shooter, after all. Ye Chong was strong, but she would not take him as her master. However, she was glad that her two students had found such a strong master.
Shu Mo'er and Shu Man'er had changed a lot. They were now like normal students. Among the students, the two of them had many pursuers. However, no one knew what the two of them were thinking, but they ignored them. Even Shu Man'er, who used to smile sweetly, kept a cold expression on her face.
The warship was still being completed. Such a huge project would take a long time. Fortunately, Darkniss was rich in metals, or else it would take months and years for the warship to be completed. But even so, it would still take some time.
Besides the warship, the second upgrade of the stronghold was also underway. All the students were now using the first batch of mechs, the Harmony of the Winter Aria. This batch of mechs was made of normal alloys due to the lack of metals.
Now that Ye Chong had a few more rare mineral deposits in his possession, he could create a new batch of excellent alloys in addition to the warship construction, to upgrade his mechs. Ye Chong could even find a few rare metals to strengthen Rui Bing's Guardian.
The work was carried out in an orderly manner. The weaponsmiths led by Xi Yan were no longer the Amon of the past. They had been trained by so many large projects, and had grown very quickly.
The war between Eastern Cloud and Western Frost was still at a stalemate. This was good news for Ye Chong. However, he didn't have to act according to Sun Sieha's wishes now. Ye Chong was not an ambitious man, but that did not mean that he would submit to others.
The students trained very hard. They had seen creatures as strong as the red-tailed beast, and immediately recognized their shortcomings. During the last chase, one of the students had almost died to the red-tailed beast's arrowhead tail. They could not pose a threat to these powerful creatures, and this made them feel terrible.
After the test of actual combat, they began to develop a unique and effective fighting style.
Commanders like Appilok thought more about practicing firing in unison in the future. As for the ordinary students, they only had one thing to do, and that was to practice shooting like crazy.
The direct result of this training was that the shooting record in the stronghold was constantly being broken. These students who were crazy about shooting were the embryonic form of the famous "Sniper Squad" in the future. Spurred on by such emotions, the overall strength of the students rose rapidly.
Even Ye Chong had to practice with Celest every day. Whenever this happened, Rui Bing would sit quietly by the side, watching Ye Chong practice.
