The Nutrient Solution's suggestion was genuinely for their sake—after being trapped for so long, they must have been desperate to get out, right?
Several people on Da Vinci's team were tempted.
However, Da Vinci said that they had already been scared badly enough and hoped to return alongside the Battalion-Class Ship.
"It doesn't matter if we stay a little longer. I imagine you wouldn't want the things you've done to be leaked either, so this works out nicely for us to avoid suspicion."
In fact, when he discovered that the Battalion-Class Ship also bore the Digital Phantom insignia and was unafraid of dealing with the military, he knew what choice to make.
—This was a team even the military did not dare provoke. His own side had better be more careful.
Besides, Da Vinci was very curious about this team. Too many of their actions far exceeded his understanding.
The most outrageous thing had been the appearance of that Fire Element creature—a pet at the Supreme level?
There had been many other shocking things, but none more absurd than that.
As for the box they had dragged back at the end, he did not even dare imagine what it could possibly contain.
Since they insisted, Qu Jianlei and the others did not force the issue. Half a month later, they arrived near a weak Energy Mass.
The Battalion-Class Ship was still left outside, keeping Da Vinci's team from taking risks—though it was also a precaution against them.
Also left behind were two A-ranks from Qu Jianlei's team, as well as Mu Guang and Duo Gan, in case anything went wrong.
Another month later, the Battalion-Class Ship emerged from within, looking slightly damaged.
There was no helping it. The energy rampage caused by the Space Ripples inside had yet to subside.
