The gang of card artisans all looked worried, and their faces were ugly.
The wavy snow bats' sneak attack had seriously injured them, and that mysterious ace had just cast a thick, undispellable haze over their minds.
Before long, the card artisan in the lead suddenly looked wary.
He didn't need to call out; the startled card artisans immediately prepared for battle.
"It's me, An Sa!"
A resonant voice came from afar, and a dark-faced brawny man like an iron tower appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. He was followed by about 30 card artisans.
When An Sa saw who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Mo Ta, why have you come?"
"The boss was afraid something might have happened to you, so he sent me to bring some people to pick you up."
Mo Ta spoke carelessly, but when he saw An Sa's sorry state, he was taken aback. "Did something really happen to you?"
An Sa smiled bitterly. "You guessed right.
We ran into a flock of wavy snow bats, and we lost a few brothers.
If you're unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck between your teeth. Damn, there's an ace on this snow shuttle ship! "
"An ace?" Mo Ta narrowed his eyes. "What kind of an ace?"
An Sa was quick-witted and decisive, and he had won the boss's favor. That he had left the first ambush to him showed the boss's trust in his abilities.
An Sa wasn't known for his fighting ability, but to be qualified to be the leader of a team meant his individual fighting ability wasn't weak.
Mo Ta and An Sa had a pretty good relationship, and An Sa knew Mo Ta wasn't interested in the power struggles in the firm. The two of them had no conflict of interest.
An Sa then recounted what had just happened in detail, and the more he spoke, the more serious Mo Ta's expression became. They were both people who licked blood from the tip of a knife. Once their adversary made a move, they could more or less gauge their strength.
Mo Ta's dark face was solemn, and his eyes flashed as he made a prompt decision. "The boss has been preparing for this operation for a long time, and we can't leak any information before we succeed. Leave this guy to me.
You go back and report to the boss. "
Mo Ta didn't waste any time. He asked for the general direction his adversary had fled and immediately set off.
Watching Mo Ta disappear into the forest, An Sa relaxed a little.
Mo Ta's small team was among the best among the teams, and he himself was ranked third among the seven captains in terms of fighting ability.
Mo Ta looked crude, but he was actually meticulous. There shouldn't be any problems, not to mention that he still had Ah Xin.
[Thousand-kilometer] was a super long-distance communication card that needed to be used in conjunction with the communication array.
Without the Central Island Firm on the sidelines, Chen Mu could boldly use the Thousand Kilometer without worry.
After the communication array's silver metal block was activated, countless components moved about in a dazzling manner, quickly laying flat on the ground. Five tree-shaped metal antennas formed a matrix.
Thinking of Bogner and Xi Ping's surprise that day when they found out about the Three Thousand Kilometer, Chen Mu suddenly felt a little proud.
It felt good to be able to receive recognition from others, especially from the people around him.
The thousand-kilometer card he was using had been redesigned and made, and he had a deeper understanding of token card theory, so he was no longer satisfied with the thousand-kilometer card of the past.
The new thousand-kilometer card had a longer communication distance and a more stable signal.
Basically, communication could be achieved as long as one was in the Heavenly Drum Village District.
In fact, in theory, its communication range was even further, but due to the limitations of the communication array, its potential could not be unleashed.
Chen Mu couldn't think of any way to deal with that. The communication array was the technology of the underground city base, which was something from a different system.
If one day he could completely understand and improve the technology of the communication array, he would very likely be able to get back in touch with Alfonsol and the others.
Chen Mu had made a total of three sets, one for himself, one for Wei-ah, and one for him in the snow silkworm ravine.
That way, if he ran into any problems, he could find someone to discuss it with.
"Boss!" Xi Ping appeared on the screen.
Chen Mu gave a brief account of his robbery and the problems he had run into.
Hearing that he had run into danger, Xi Ping was startled and rushed to call Bogner.
"Where are you now, Boss?
Specific location! "Bogner's expression was grave as he rushed to ask.
How could they not be worried when the boss was alone and in danger?
Although the boss had power, he still wasn't the immortal Wei-ah.
Specific location?
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I don't know where I am. I should be in the jungle between Bida and Zargan." He had fallen asleep as soon as he had boarded the snow shuttle ship, so how could he know where he was?
When Bogner sent over the map, Chen Mu was a little dumbfounded.
On the map, the area between Bida and Zargan was all jungle, and in the jungle, there were seven or eight roads connecting the two cities. He had no idea which road he was on or where he was now.
But, the map still had some use. At least, he could roughly figure out which direction Zargan was in.
A fine energy fluctuation swept through the jungle like a leisurely rippling water.
A probing card!
Chen Mu turned around to look behind him and said to Bogner in a low voice, "You guys have Wei-ah wait for me in Zargan." He then closed the communication and quickly put away the communication array.
It wasn't the first time he had run into such a feeling. When he had been at Eastern Wei Academy, he had experienced a similar energy fluctuation, and it had been during that time that he had comprehended the shuttle-shaped perceptual composition.
But, the fluctuation that time was more concealed than the last time, and it was more delicate.
His own perception had almost unconsciously rejected the weak fluctuation, which had formed a peculiar ripple structure around him.
Crap!
Chen Mu's expression changed, and he no longer cared about contending with the fluctuation. He broke into a run.
In the jungle, a young card artisan with a pair of dimples on his face pointed in a direction. "He's in that direction!"
Mo Ta was the first to soar into the air, and the other card artisans followed closely behind.
More than 30 card artisans spread out in formation and rushed in the direction the card artisan had just pointed in a fan shape.
None of those card artisans weren't seasoned veterans. Although they were advancing at a high speed, everyone's faces were calm and unruffled, without a trace of urgency. It was as though they were on an outing.
Mo Ta didn't put up an energy cloak. He let the knife-like cold wind blow on his face, and the expression on his face was one of enjoyment.
Hearing An Sa's description of the ace, Mo Ta felt as though the blood in his body had started to heat up!
It had been a long time since he had encountered such an interesting opponent, and he was increasingly looking forward to the upcoming battle.
He wasn't worried his adversary would be able to escape. No one could escape from his hands.
That was because he had a super probing card artisan under him — Ah Xin!
Although Ah Xin's power was average, his attainments in probing were truly unimaginable. Up until then, no one had been able to slip away from his hands.
The other captains had been drooling over Ah Xin for a long time, but no matter what kind of conditions were put in front of him, they couldn't move him.
The reason was simple: Mo Ta had saved his life.
Ah Xin's origins were mysterious. No one knew, not even Mo Ta, and he himself had never said anything about it.
But everyone knew Ah Xin's origins were certainly out of the ordinary. Even the big boss was amazed by that five-star probing card.
Ah Xin didn't miss that time, and he quickly discovered his adversary's general position.
So, the hunt had begun!
Just as the hunt began in the jungle, the situation in the Heavenly Federation changed again.
Faya's strong rise aroused sympathy, and it also caused the Big Six to panic.
Just as everyone thought the Big Six would once again unite to attack Faya, Faya and the Central Repository of the Classics joined hands to launch an attack on the Federation Comprehensive Academy.
No one understood what wrong medicine the Central Repository of the Classics had taken, or what conditions Faya had given them that they couldn't refuse.
But the Central Repository of the Classics' counterattack was declared to have collapsed before the Big Six's alliance had even been established.
Not only that, but the Central Repository of the Classics, which had allied itself with the House of a Hundred Depths, swept away its previous decline and showed unprecedented toughness.
The alliance between Faya and the Central Repository of the Classics immediately put the Federation Comprehensive Academy in a precarious situation.
No one was willing to help the Federation Comprehensive Academy at that time, unless they also chose to ally with them. Otherwise, no one would be a match for those two.
But no matter who it was, no one would choose to ally with the Federation Comprehensive Academy at that time. Wouldn't that be pushing themselves into a pit of fire?
The death of the frontline commander, Di Bo, had put the Federation Comprehensive Academy in a precarious situation. In front of Faya and the Central Repository of the Classics, the frontline of defense was as fragile as paper.
Faya and the Central Repository of the Classics were aggressively closing in on the Federation Comprehensive Academy from two directions.
The Federation Comprehensive Academy, which had once been the head of the Big Six, was now at the end of its tether.
The campus, which had once been full of life, was now deserted. Every once in a while, a few students could be seen, and all of them had mournful looks on their faces.
The directors of the Federation Comprehensive Academy's board of directors were all in a panic.
It was ridiculous to say that just a few months ago, they had been desperately fighting for power and profit. No one had thought the situation would take a turn for the worse overnight.
Once Di Bo died, those old guys immediately panicked. Some of the more cowardly directors had even taken their families and quietly fled the capital.
Pavchek looked hopelessly at those fat old worms in front of him. Those greedy fellows normally couldn't wait to take all the power.
But now, the position of president had become a hot potato, and no one wanted to take it.
Less than a third of the directors were present at that meeting.
Could it be that the Federation Comprehensive Academy was going to perish in his hands?
Pavchek thought in a daze.
What he couldn't understand the most was that there was no reaction from the military.
There was no movement from Wei Yueqing. Didn't he know his alma mater was about to perish?
"I … I'm leaving!" A director stood up in a panic. "Everyone, hurry up and run!
Staying here will only lead to death! "
Poof! A flower of blood blossomed on that director's forehead.
A tall and straight figure appeared in the sights of all the directors.
