As a result, when searching, he could only confirm that it was a high-level earth beast, and he couldn't provide any other clues. Upon hearing that someone had seen the beast, he couldn't help but feel excited. Knowing the type of beast would allow them to analyze its habits and determine the location of its lair, enabling them to search for Lin Yao and her companion more accurately.
I didn't recognize that type of beast. As soon as the soldier spoke those words, he immediately drew the piercing gaze of Wang Jincheng. Not daring to hesitate, he continued, "However, I took some time to sketch what I saw of the beast."
Wang Jincheng's expression changed instantly. He released the soldier's collar and urged anxiously, "Then hurry up and show me the drawing."
"It's not very good..."
"Enough with the nonsense; as long as it shows what the beast looks like." Wang Jincheng impatiently interrupted him.
The soldier could only fall silent and obediently hand over his electronic drawing.
After receiving it, Wang Jincheng examined it closely but realized he didn't recognize it either. He was about to turn around to ask someone when the soldier grabbed him.
"Young Master Wang, can you not say I drew this?" the soldier whispered.
"Why not?" Wang Jincheng asked, puzzled.
The soldier sighed, "The military isn't as strictly regulated as you might think; there are quite a few private dealings. As a powerless person, if I bypass my superiors to approach Young Master Wang directly and they find out, it could be difficult for me to explain!"
"What are you afraid of? I'll just mention it to my uncle and get you promoted." Wang Jincheng said nonchalantly.
"But for now..."
"Just stay by my side for now."
After settling the soldier, Wang Jincheng hurriedly took the drawing to find Wang Sanquan.
"Uncle, can you recognize what kind of beast this is?"
Wang Sanquan carefully examined it but did not immediately answer his question. Instead, he passed the electronic drawing to those around him for them to circulate.
After a round of circulation, the drawing ended up in the hands of a staff officer. He glanced at it and frowned slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Burrowing Salamander."
"Burrowing Salamander? That name is unfamiliar," the commanders exchanged glances.
The staff officer smiled and said, "This type of star beast has only been seen once before and is extremely rare. I happened to catch a glimpse of it while researching data before our winter hunt. For specific information, we can contact someone on the starship to check."
The expeditionary force's starship comes equipped with a database; any information available on the star network will be automatically backed up by the ship's server.
They had been outside for a long time, and most of the time they couldn't connect to the Star Network. To prepare for emergencies, they always kept a database ready. With a command from Wang Sanquan, the data was quickly transmitted from the starship above. This time, there was no need for circulation; the starship directly sent the information to each person's communicator.
Wang Jincheng, as Wang Sanquan's nephew, was fortunate enough to receive the data sent by his uncle.
"Burrowing Salamander: A terrestrial exotic beast, skilled in earth evasion. It resides deep underground, with its eyes having regressed."
After reading just two lines, Wang Jincheng felt a surge of hope and excitedly said, "If that high-level exotic beast really is a Burrowing Salamander, then it must be able to pass through thick layers of rock!"
Before he could finish speaking, several high-level earth ability users in the team changed their expressions dramatically. Wang Sanquan quickly interrupted him.
"Jincheng, it's not your turn to speak here." After stopping Wang Jincheng, he slowly continued, "Although my nephew's words may not be pleasant to hear, after reviewing the data, I share a similar thought. You are all high-level earth ability users; your judgment should be more precise than ours, right?"
Hearing this, the high-level earth ability users exchanged glances and quickly replied, "Vice Commander Wang, don't worry! We'll head back there immediately to break through the rock layers!"
The high-level earth ability users took their team to break through the rock layers first. The others did not immediately relocate but continued searching around for rescue.
Since Wang Jincheng went directly to find his uncle after receiving the message and did not inform the rest of the team, their information lagged significantly. It wasn't until Wang Jincheng followed the earth ability users for a while that he learned about this news.
Bai Zhenzhen was already unhappy with Lin Yao for causing trouble, and now that there was new information that wasn't communicated in time, her resentment towards him grew even stronger.
Wang Jincheng was truly lacking in every aspect except for his impressive combat strength; she couldn't understand why the captain invited him to the team!
Zhang Feng was usually quiet but immediately stood up to remind her after hearing this: "Zhenzhen, let's just talk about this here; don't say it in front of Wang Jincheng. The captain being taken by an exotic beast isn't something he intended."
Bai Zhenzhen certainly knew that this incident couldn't be blamed on Wang Jincheng. But facts were facts; emotions were emotions. She had spent more time with Lin Yao and had deeper feelings for her. Just thinking about Lin Yao potentially getting into trouble made her unable to suppress her resentment towards Wang Jincheng.
"I know that," she said, unable to hold back her tears.
Meng Xingchen felt a pang of sympathy and quickly offered his shoulder for her to lean on. "Don't cry. Now that there's hope, the captain will definitely come back safely. When he returns, I'll help you confront Wang Jincheng!"
Just as he was comforting her, someone suddenly approached them from outside the temporary tent.
"I am here to escort you on behalf of Young Master Wang."
The soldier, a stranger to the group, left them a bit bewildered. He quickly explained, "I provided the new lead. Young Master Wang asked me to stay by his side for the time being. Today, he followed the team of Earth Ability Users back to the location where the beasts escaped. He was in a hurry and couldn't notify you all in time. After a senior Earth Ability User managed to break through a layer of rock, they indeed found traces of earth tunneling. Young Master Wang immediately sent me to bring you all here."
Upon hearing this, the group felt somewhat guilty; after all, they had just been talking behind his back. However, when they heard the latter part of his explanation, everyone suddenly felt a surge of joy.
"Does this mean we might find traces of Captain and the others?" Bai Zhenzhen asked excitedly.
"Finding traces of earth tunneling doesn't necessarily confirm it's their trail," the soldier replied.
Even though the news was uncertain, the development still brought happiness to the group. They were so caught up in their excitement that they ignored the soldier. Wan Xiaoqi, unable to let it go, stepped forward to engage with him. "Thank you for your help. May I know how to address you?"
"It's no trouble at all; you can just call me Xiao Zhang," the soldier said with a humble expression.
"Xiao Zhang, do we leave right away or wait until dawn?"
They had been busy searching during the day and only sat down to rest and discuss when night fell.
"Young Master Wang said you must be anxious, so he asked me to take you there overnight."
"Then please give us a few minutes to get ready."
"Of course."
The group set off eagerly toward a place filled with hope, expecting to receive news. However, little did they know that events would not unfold as they had anticipated.
