Hearing the female pirate Mei La, the twin Xin Duo flew forward expressionlessly and said, "Yes."
"For the past two days, I've been keeping an eye on Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji."
"I feel like something isn't right."
Hearing Xin Duo's words, the runes on the bald leader's face and scalp glimmered faintly red. As he flew, he tilted his head and asked, "Not right? What feels wrong to you?"
The twin Xin Duo turned their two identical faces in unison toward the bald leader and said, "I suspect Zhao Ji's recent refining of the 'Boundless Mind Sea Area' is actually a smokescreen."
Both Xin Duos wore exceedingly serious expressions. "For the past two days, I've been calculating the speed at which Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji refine areas."
"Although they've been doing their utmost to control it, I still noticed that their speed of refining areas has clearly increased."
"For example, it used to take them three hours to pry away one 'Boundless Mind Sea Area.' These past few days, one has disappeared in less than two hours."
"For example, there used to be fifty vehicles transporting Calamity Materials. Now, the number has increased to eighty."
"Don't underestimate these minor numerical changes. What they signify is completely different."
Hearing Xin Duo's words, Mei La interjected, "Could it be that their strength has improved, or that practice has made them more proficient?"
The two Xin Duos shook their heads in unison. He said, "That is possible."
"But... yesterday, this situation underwent another strange change."
He glanced at Mei La expressionlessly.
"The speed at which Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji refined areas suddenly changed from two and a half hours back to three hours."
"Yet the number of vehicles transporting Calamity Materials gradually rose from eighty to one hundred and twenty."
