Wu Youren's campsite was about a kilometer away from the main road.
In other words, Daiqisi has recently become wealthy and can completely disregard the condition of her motorcycle.
Otherwise, even a second-hand motorcycle costs money.
As it turned out, her intuition was spot on; as soon as she jumped off the car, four Knight appeared in front of her.
All four Knight wore white cloaks, with an ominous-looking man in a white cloak in the middle.
"Lord Li Hu—" Daiqisi frowned slightly, "What is this?"
"You've been a bit more active lately," Jeff replied in a deep voice. "I don't want to mess with Wu Youren, and you're not one of them!"
Daiqisi for a long time before replying, "I don't understand what you mean."
" The Cold Lands Silk Tribe," Jeff sneered, "You must be very happy about the destruction of the Far West, right?"
The female instructor did not answer, a faint glint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"I have no interest in getting involved in your petty squabbles," Jeff said coldly. "Leave now, and I won't hold it against you."
"Where is Wu Youren?" Daiqisi stared intently at him. "I need to see him."
"I can't find him anywhere," Jeff replied irritably.
But the next moment, he raised an eyebrow. "How about you help me find him?"
Daiqisi slowly backed away, shaking her head. "Same here, I have no intention of cooperating with you."
Watching her pick up her motorcycle, turn around, and speed away, a man in white asked, "Sir, shouldn't we keep her?"
"No need," Jeff shook his head, "To avoid the little guy overthinking—look around again, where did he go?"
The five searched until midnight but couldn't find the boy, so they had to leave disappointed.
Some suggested setting up a stakeout, but Commander Jeff rejected this, saying it would not only be time-consuming but also appear unfriendly.
It's fine if you can't find anyone when you visit, but staking out is too deliberate.
But where did this guy go?
Meanwhile, about 70 or 80 kilometers outside Bellflower Mountain Town, there is a sizable supply point.
The Suspended Bell Mountain Weird Domain has recently stabilized somewhat, allowing a large number of martial artists to travel there, and the supply points along the way are quite bustling.
About one kilometer from the supply point, there is a dugout, about five meters underground, which can effectively protect against the cold.
Kelvin hid inside; the place was not only spacious and comfortable, but also had three passages leading to the outside world.
Around the dugout, he also set up early warning mechanisms, and most importantly, he had puppets to help with the guard.
In this situation, he does feel quite safe.
However, I still couldn't relax too much.
Because he also needs to be distracted by sensing the puppets in the outside world, and when necessary, he also needs to control them.
That night, he had a rare period of free time, but his mind still couldn't settle down.
As he calculated his recent profits, he couldn't help but mutter, "I've only just broken even—"
"That little guy is so annoying, and he runs pretty fast. Time is running out, I'll have to try again to lure another wave over!"
The place where Wu Youren lived was the place he secretly led the barbarians to.
No communication is needed; just launch a surprise attack on the Barbarian Tribe and flee in that direction.
For Kelvin, losing a few crystals was painful, but not enough to hold a grudge; he needed revenge to get rid of them.
As business people, there are times when you make money and times when you lose money. While learning from your mistakes, you must remember to look forward in order to make big money.
What he couldn't bear to part with was Little Ha; he could also sense a strange energy within the little snow hawk's body.
Although the nature of the energy is uncertain, it is an extremely rare and exquisite item for taming or using as a puppet.
However, he didn't expect that Wu Youren wouldn't be there, and the expected lose-lose situation didn't materialize.
The little snow harrier is nearing adulthood, and time is running out for him.
The next moment, he felt that something was wrong, and a strange sense of fear washed over him.
"This is terrible! The passage is collapsing!"
Kelvin was always exceptionally shrewd; when building his dugout, he not only reinforced its defenses but also left three passageways.
The entrances to the passageways were all concealed, and one of the passageways was quite narrow, which effectively reduced the possibility of exposure.
However, now, all three passages are collapsing simultaneously, clearly indicating that an earth-elemental Ability User has suddenly intervened.
He hadn't considered when he had provoked such a powerful enemy.
Over the years, he's done business quite a few times, and it's normal for him to have potential enemies—including his competitors, of course.
He was thinking: Why aren't my warning systems and those puppets working?
The next moment, he tried to connect with the puppet, but was surprised to find that there was a noticeable blockage in establishing the connection!
"Damn it!" Kelvin's heart sank. "There are also psychic Ability User!"
There are three main categories of Ability User: elemental, support, and mental.
The support class is a bit more mixed up, and it might have some connections with the other two types.
However, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate both the spiritual and elemental systems simultaneously.
In other words, he was attacked by more than one Ability User.
As for whether he was more than two people—to be honest, he didn't think he was that important.
Two Ability User attacked simultaneously, one of whom was a rare psychic. Needless to say, he was almost certainly from the Hall of Extraordinary Masters.
"I surrender!" Kelvin shouted decisively, "I have a treasure to redeem myself!"
He has some strength in puppetry, but his own combat power is also considerable. Now, with a determined mind, he might be able to break free by charging outwards.
But the question is, what happens after you break through?
In the dead of night, in the desolate wilderness, two Ability User launched a surprise attack on his hideout.
The flavor here, you savor it! You really savor it!!!
This was clearly designed to kill.
Kelvin's brain was definitely sharp enough; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to speak so erratically.
He was almost certain that once he broke through to the ground, the other party wouldn't give him any chance to speak.
Once a freed Ability User goes berserk, it's absolutely impossible to defend against. And the Ability User; how could they not know that?
Therefore, his current reaction is the wisest one: surrender!
If simply surrendering doesn't sway the enemy, he can still use his wealth to buy his life.
He had managed to escape from the devastated Far West all the way to the Liang. He understood the preciousness of life all too well; as long as you live, anything is possible.
However, his answer was the collapse of the passageway, which began to petrify!
"Damn it!" Without saying a Kelvin, Kelvin grabbed a small, long-handled axe and swung it fiercely at the soil above his head!
At that moment, he felt immense regret. He shouldn't have worried about the collapse and had specifically reinforced the soil layer!
In fact, digging the dugouts that deep is a bit inappropriate; for frozen soil less than two meters deep, a dugout three meters deep would be sufficient.
However, the deeper you dig, the higher the temperature of the cave will be, and the more comfortable it will be to live in.
With Kelvin level, a slight increase or decrease in temperature wouldn't have a significant impact.
However, why suffer when you can live more comfortably?
At that moment, he truly regretted it. If he had known he would encounter something like this, how could he have built such a dugout?
"I shouldn't have been so complacent," Kelvin sighed, then swung his axe a second time.
However, the first axe blow broke through a layer of soil more than a meter deep, but the second axe blow—less than half a meter?
The higher you go, the harder the soil freezes, that's fine.
But when the axe hits the frozen ground, tiny sparks fly out. What's going on?
So the other party attacked stealthily first, petrifying the top of the dugout?
What the hell could cause this?! Kelvin just doesn't understand it at all; was it really worth going to such lengths?
Only living Ability User can bring a continuous stream of benefits.
Determined to kill a Ability User is not only difficult and risky, but more importantly—what is the other party after?
But the next moment, he realized something else, and his expression changed again, "Holy crap—hallucinations?"
The top of the other party's petrified dugout must have been there even earlier.
The opponent not only blocked the puppet's information transmission, but also affected its perception!
The puppets are fine, but the real problem is that he's a Ability User with expertise in mental abilities, and his senses have been clouded!
Kelvin was truly terrified. He swung his axe again and again, shouting angrily, "I surrender! I surrender!"
With a soft "crack," the long handle of the small axe snapped in two, but the layer of stone overhead remained thick.
Kelvin grabbed another broadsword and swung it down at his head again, yelling, "Let me out! Let me out!"
On the ground, the boy, wearing a mask and a white cloak, looked around while making hand seals.
"I don't sense anything unusual around you, do you?"
The Scops Owl perched on a tree three hundred meters away, its claws firmly pressing down on the struggling little snowy harrier. "It's alright, everything's normal!"
"Over at the supply point—" Wu Youren hesitated for a moment before saying, "Three more vehicles just passed by."
"Then hurry up!" Chen Quanxu urged him, "Large-scale hallucinations are very difficult and energy-consuming."
That's right, the two agreed to fight together, but his main role was to induce hallucinations and control Little Ha incidentally.
Of course, his prior reconnaissance was also commendable; otherwise, Wu Youren wouldn't have been able to find the location.
However, it must be acknowledged that Wu Youren is currently the main source of damage on the battlefield.
The boy was not only continuously casting spells, but he was also standing near the dugout.
In other words, if the opponent rushes out, he will launch a close-range attack immediately.
The attack can be a spell or a combat technique; without a doubt, this is a close-quarters attack.
The maximum range of attacks Chen Quanxu could launch was psychological warfare.
If he were truly present, this attack would be no less dangerous than a mental attack, as everyone knows.
However, the idea that a mere Scops Owl could launch a mental attack is a complete joke.
At most, it might only slightly disturb the other person's mind. Calling it hallucination is an exaggeration; it's nothing more than a distraction.
"He... it's not easy for him to come out," Wu Youren said with a strange expression; he could sense the other person's situation.
