Chapter 428: Chapter 429 Ran Xiyu’s Thoughts

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Jiang Liushi drove the minibus all the way ahead, scattering piles of snow in all directions. Soon they arrived near to Snecked Way area, where the terrain was rocky. Although the thick snow made it easier to drive on the uneven terrain, it was still not friendly to the minibus' tires. Fortunately, the bullet-proof tires strengthened by Jiang Liushi were wonderful. Even if the minibus was bumping up and down, everyone inside the carriage didn't have a hard time.

Ran Xiyu tried her best to sense spiritual fluctuations and then said slowly, "Brother Jiang, they are deep in the stone forest, about one kilometer away from us. They have five paranormals as well as twelve ordinary people."

Jiang Liushi felt that something was wrong, but he was sure that this group of people was Buck's team members.

In fact, the initial judgment of Jiang Liushi was similar to that of Shi Can. They believed that since they had discovered them, they should have had run away immediately. Because according to the data provided by the military, Buck's team was quite cautious. However, Jiang Liushi just wanted to make sure and didn't expect such an outcome.

"This team is very interesting," Jiang Liushi said. Through the shared spiritual vision, Jiang Liushi found they were circling.

'Do they want to lure us in?' Jiang Liushi thought.

"Why did you stop?" After a while, the heavy trucks chasing after them were stopped beside them. Shi Can jumped out of his car and looked coldly at Jiang Liushi. He originally thought Shi Ying Squad would go in the stone forest to investigate, but he didn't expect they would just stay in their minibus, which made him annoyed.

"We don't need to search for them any longer. They are inside. Our minibus is too large to enter, so we've been waiting for you to come," Jiang Liushi said.

Only motorcycles could enter through that narrow path. Moreover, Jiang Liushi would protect all his members before taking action. He estimated that he needed at least one other team to follow him.

"How do you know they are inside? Do you have an eye in the sky?" Xing Bupo laughed again.

Sun Kun and Zhang Hai got angry after hearing his mocking words. "What do you mean? Brother Jiang just told you they are inside. If you don't believe him, you can go and see for yourself!" Zhang Hai shouted to Xing Bupo.

Xing Bupo's rushed quickly to his side and exchanged cold stares with Zhang Hai and Sun Kun. The atmosphere became tense, and the other teams were just watching them in silence. Jiang Liushi shook his head as he realized that Doom Walker's members were not united at all.

"I've long been displeased with you lot. Don't look down on us! How dare you suspect Brother Jiang? In Shenhai Island, Brother Jiang killed-" Qi Liang could not finish his sentence as Wang Chuanfu covered his mouth.

"Little boy, come back!" Wang Chuanfu shouted and then smiled at Jiang Liushi.

Shi Ying Squad's magnificent feat was a taboo matter so they could not advertise it recklessly, especially in an area under the government's watchful eye. Wang Chuanfu did not want Jiang Liushi and his team to get implicated because of them.

'What are you saying and doing?' Xing Bupo said in his mind. He didn't understand why a Level B team would revere a Level C team.

"Haha, if you are powerful enough, please catch Buck, and then I will apologize to you," Xing Bupo said slowly.

However, how could Jiang Liushi pay him any heed? Xing Bupo's apology was meaningless to him, so he simply ignored him.

"Since President Hou trusts you, he must agree with your decisions. You can choose two teams to go with you," Shi Can said suddenly. He didn't have any other thoughts, but he wanted this team to have a setback.

Jiang Liushi just smiled at him having guessed his intentions. "Which team would like to go with us?" Jiang Liushi asked. However, no one answered at first.

All teams were lazy. Some were whispering to each other, while others were playing with their guns, but no one was talking. Xing Bupo's team was the oldest one, so the other teams naturally chose to stand with them.

"Captain Jiang, Aeolus Squad is willing to follow you. It's up to you." Wang Chuanfu took a step forward and stood side by side with Jiang Liushi.

"We will also go with you," Ling Feng said. He felt a burning sensation coming from his face as he should the first one to offer his support to Jiang Liushi. After all, he was the one who had suggested to Hou Dingkun to rope Shi Ying Squad in. However, it had taken him a lot of time to make a decision.

"Thank you, Captain Feng, but the Aelous Squad will suffice." Jiang Liushi nodded to Ling Feng.

Jiang Liushi was very decisive in doing things. And then he left his minibus and Ying as well as Li Yuxin, who was responsible for taking care of his sister. And then everyone else from his team set off with Aeolus Squad. They rushed inside without any hesitation.

"Oh, this group of foreigners is not aware of how powerful Buck's team is. I'm afraid they will all be trapped and die," Xing Bupo said happily.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded. It was indeed too risky to do so.

"We are all together in this task. Stop badmouthing them! If there's something wrong, we will rush inside to help," Shi Can said.

"Oh, Captain Shi, you are too kind," Xing Bupo just answered happily, but he cursed in his mind at the same time.

"You are not optimistic about Brother Jiang, right? I think differently. They may even kill Buck without breaking a sweat," Little Seven couldn't help but said.

"Oh, then we'll just wait and see," Xing Bupo said while picking up some snow to wash his face.

The path inside the stone forest had been covered by snow. However, even in this heavy snowfall, the weeds and vines still grew strong enough. In the ice and snow, the light inside was shaded by many plants. It was the second time for Ran Xiyu to help Jiang Liushi with a task out of the minibus. Although it was quite cold outside, Ran Xiyu felt warm in her heart.

She could not help but think of that stormy night when they fought against Yang Feng. She remembered that Jiang Liushi's shoulder was quite warm…

'What am I thinking about right now?' She stopped herself quickly.

"Xiyu, are you okay? I will carry you on my back," Jiang Liushi said suddenly.

"No, I'm okay!" Ran Xiyu answered quickly.

"Don't worry. This stone forest is very big. Our team is relying on you to detect them. You have to save your strength," Jiang Liushi said and then carried Ran Xiyu on his back quickly.

Ran Xiyu just moved her lips but could not speak. She just went with it and rested her hands gently on Jiang Liushi's shoulder. With Jiang Liushi's current strength, it was for him to carry one person on his back. Not to mention that Ran Xiyu was really light.

"Brother Jiang, they started moving. Buck has found our smell," Ran Xiyu said suddenly. Through the shared spiritual vision, Jiang Liushi could see every action of Buck.

"Since they took a very roundabout way, we will follow them," Jiang Liushi said. "We will walk toward the east direction."

"Yes!" Everyone answered at the same time.

Apart from Shi Ying Squad's members, all members of the Aeolus Squad felt excited. It was the first time for them to act together with Jiang Liushi, except Wang Chuanfu. It was the second time for him, and he hoped to witness a miracle again.

Under the leadership of Jiang Liushi, the team quickly moved within the stone forest, then moved eastwards, and then westwards for a while, but it was completely on the same route.

Most surprisingly, they did not meet with Buck team at all. After a while, Jiang Liushi suddenly began to throw some things to the ground. They were pieces of seeds. Along the way, he threw a total of seven seeds in one area. As soon as these seeds got into the ice and snow, they began to take root. And where they were entrenched, other plants started withering, and even the earth's soil lost many of its colors, it was as if all nutrients had been absorbed. However, under the cover of ice and snow, the signs of this withering were maximally obscured. It was replaced by many prickly thorns which were entrenched on the ground and looked very ordinary.

"Don't get close to those thorns. They are deadly," Jiang Liushi shouted to everyone.

It was indeed a kind warning. All those seeds had been found from mutant beasts' stomachs. Once they grew, some of the surrounding plant nutrients would be absorbed along with many metals in the earth so the nearby ecosystem would lose all vitality.

"Brother Jiang, why did you throw those seeds here?" Qi Liang asked.
