YM778.TV 190 Chapter 136
Zhang Daoling shook his head and sighed, then said, “No.”
He sat on the left seat, took the hot water from the vice-captain’s hand, and cupped his hands to thank him.
Zheng Xinglong also put on a serious expression and asked him.
“But what happened?”
At this moment, Leng Zhen, who had arrived later, also approached the inside of the tent.
“Captain Zhang, have you found Wizard Juaneng?”
Faced with the questions of the two, Zhang Daoling was the first to reply.
“The search this time was quite unsuccessful. Unfortunately, I didn’t find Wizard Juaneng.”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the other three people at the scene suddenly changed.
Leng Zhen’s eyes were filled with shock. He thought that it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Zheng Xinglong was also very surprised, but his eyes revealed that it was true.
Long before Zhang Daoling came, he had discussed the incident with Adjutant Yu.
At that time, Adjutant Yu’s conclusion was that the probability of Zhang Daoling’s spiritual energy being brought back at night was only 50% , and the probability of most of the forces in the camp being brought back was 80% .
As the person-in-charge, Zheng Xinglong naturally could not allow the already injured superpowers to set off again.
Firstly, it would easily expose the location of the camp, and secondly, there might be casualties before the reinforcements arrived.
Yu Zhenglin, who was pouring water at the side, appeared much calmer. Instead of being surprised, he was thinking more about the reason why Zhang Daoling could not bring back Juaneng.
“Vice-captain Leng, please take a seat.”
Yu Zhenglin handed the hot water to the vice-captain and pulled out a chair for him to take a seat.
“Thank you.”
Leng Zhen took the cup and sipped it to ease his emotions.
At this moment, Zhang Daoling said again, “However, this doesn’t mean that my search is fruitless.”
Then, he took out the remains of the iron rod from his waist and placed it in front of everyone.
“This seems to be Master Jue Neng’s weapon.”
Adjutant Yu said thoughtfully.
Zhang Daoling nodded, he continued, “That’s right. After I was fruitless in searching for Master Jue Neng, I picked up this iron rod from the surrounding bushes. I’m sure all of you are aware of his character. He shouldn’t have casually thrown this item aside.”
After Zhang Daoling’s reminder, everyone seemed to have understood something. They lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Zheng Xinglong raised his head, looked at Zhang Daoling, and asked.
“Priest, you mean that Master Jue Neng didn’t leave the place of his own volition.”
Zhang Daoling gave him an answer to this.
“To be precise, master Jue Neng was taken away by some creature.”
“What! ?”
Although they had roughly guessed the situation, they couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Zheng Xinglong hurriedly asked, “Priest Zhang, which creature took Juanneng master away?”
Zhang Daoling slightly lowered her head and said.
“Wolf Pack.”
The three people present were all shocked. In their minds, they thought of the giant wolves that had confronted them earlier.
“It’s actually them,”Zheng Xinglong said in disbelief.
Adjutant Yu thought seriously and said, “To be able to do such a thing, it proves that the intelligence of the wolf pack, or rather, the intelligence of the alpha wolf, has reached the same level as ours.”
Zhang Daoling agreed and said, “Just as adjutant yu said, don’t underestimate the intelligence of the Wolf Pack. Not long after I followed their footprints, I encountered a special trap left behind by them.”
“This trap has three lines of defense. The first is to keep people alive, the second is to block the road, and the third is to attract the surrounding creatures to deal with the person who triggered the trap.”
“In the face of such a trap, there is no best solution. Only by not triggering it can we stop it. The intelligence of the wolf pack can be seen from this. They had long expected that someone would follow them and set up a sophisticated trap.”
“If it weren’t for me, an ordinary soldier would have fallen into the trap.”
Zheng Xinglong listened to Zhang Daoling’s explanation and replied in a serious tone.
“Thank you for the information, Priest. I will change my current battle strategy and raise the Wolf Pack’s alertness to the maximum.”
Leng Zhen listened for a long time and couldn’t help but be curious about which mutated animals could force the strongest priest Zhang back.
Then, he asked, “Captain Zhang, what kind of mutated creatures did that trap attract?”
“The Golden Condor and the Grassland Condor.”
Hearing this answer, Leng Zhen was a little surprised. In his impression, these two should have gone back to recuperate a long time ago.
“It’s actually them. It seems that these two D-class creatures are still peeping at the mutated fruit. They didn’t choose to leave but stayed nearby.”
Zhang Daoling shook her head and said, “No, they flew directly to me from the location of the giant snow ridge spruce.”
Thinking of how the Wolf Pack had captured wizard Jue Neng, everyone had a certain guess.
Captain Zheng hurriedly asked, “Priest Zhang, does that mean that the giant snow ridge spruce isn’t protected by the wolf pack, but transformed into those two birds of prey?”
“That’s right,”Zhang Daoling replied.
Adjutant Yu, who was at the side, pondered for a moment, he voiced his doubts, “Logically speaking, the Golden Condor and grassland condor that were injured by us should not have the strength to fight against the four giant wolves. Then, how did they obtain this giant snow ridge spruce?”
Zhang Daoling was also completely unaware of this. He could only reply, “This is also the question that I was thinking about earlier. There must be a reason for this.”
