Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Exploring the Mystery_1
"Search inside," Tan Yonghao commanded without hesitation.
"Wait." Master Tianlong stopped them, his expression turning grim. "You can’t go in there. It’s extremely dangerous. We’re retreating."
"What? Retreat?" All the members of the Special Action Team were stunned, their faces etched with disbelief.
They had worked tirelessly, tracking their target from morning until late at night. To finally arrive at Chen Junheng’s hiding place only to be told to retreat... Wasn’t this a complete waste of their efforts?
"Dangerous? How dangerous?" Luo Chengliang asked, seeming eager to test the limits.
"Even I couldn’t guarantee I’d make it out in one piece," Master Tianlong said gravely. "The probability of dying in there is high."
A chill ran down their spines. Terror and fear filled their eyes as they gazed at the cave, from which black gas was seeping, not daring to take a single step forward. In their minds, Master Tianlong, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, was no less than an immortal—unimaginably powerful. If even he didn’t dare to enter the cave, then with their cultivation levels and strength, going inside would mean certain death. It would be no different from suicide.
"Even with today’s advanced technology, there are still many places that are off-limits to humans. This cave is one of them," Master Tianlong said firmly. "Retreat."
Consequently, they had no choice but to call for a helicopter and depart, feeling utterly unwilling.
As Tutu monitored the situation, Zhang Bin burst out laughing. "Hahaha... the crisis is finally over. Special Action Team, you’re still a long way from being a match for me."
However, he was deeply curious about the cave. What kind of place could frighten even Master Tianlong so much that he wouldn’t dare enter? Could it be that last time, Xiao Qian didn’t get the two thousand-year ginsengs from the Abyss, but from that cave?
He wished he could become powerful immediately and reach the Minor Tree Realm. Then he would dare to venture inside and discover what terrifying secrets it held.
With his worries gone, he pushed Xiao Fang down onto the bed, and they began to tangle together passionately.
"Husband, you have to be quick this time. I can only last for an hour at most," Xiao Fang said, her face flushed with shyness as she began to respond with fervor.
Just as they were lost in a moment of tender bliss, the sound of a helicopter echoed from above. A moment later, one descended slowly and landed within the villa’s walls. Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie leaped out.
Zhao Dawei even shouted with a sly grin, "Zhang Bin! Zhang Bin! Aren’t you going to come out and welcome us?"
So embarrassed she wanted to dive under the covers, Xiao Fang pushed Zhang Bin forcefully. "Husband, get up! We have guests!"
Damn it, what are these bastards doing here in the middle of the night? Good thing Ye Feng didn’t come, or it would’ve been too dangerous. Zhang Bin was so angry he nearly coughed up blood. He had no choice but to dismount, throw on his clothes, and storm outside. He flung open the door and said gruffly, "Are you sure you’re at the right place?"
"Hahaha... coming out with your weapon drawn?" Zhao Dawei said with a mischievous grin, glancing at the conspicuous bulge in Zhang Bin’s pants.
"Hahaha..." Qian Bing and Sun Tie also bent over, howling with laughter until they nearly choked.
Zhang Bin was utterly speechless. What kind of people are these? They interrupt my good time and they’re this excited and proud about it?
The trio walked in as if they owned the place and sat down on the sofa.
"Hurry up and make us some food," Zhao Dawei said, collapsing onto the sofa, completely drained of energy.
Qian Bing, making himself right at home, started skillfully brewing some tea. Meanwhile, Sun Tie grabbed a cucumber from the coffee table and began munching on it loudly, repeatedly declaring how delicious it was.
They had been running around for a whole day and night and were starving.
Zhang Bin went into his room, took a bag of bread from his Space Ring, and tossed it into Zhao Dawei’s lap. "Here, have some bread. How am I supposed to cook in the middle of the night?"
"Bread works," Zhao Dawei said, his spirits lifting. He grabbed a few loaves, tossed one each to Qian Bing and Sun Tie, and they all began to eat like ravenous wolves.
Their eating was ferocious.
Zhang Bin also sat on the sofa, watching them devour the bread while he schemed. How can I find out how the members of the Special Abilities Group knew about the secret meeting between the Rabbit King and Liu Ruomei?
"So, did you catch the Rabbit King?" Zhang Bin asked, feigning curiosity.
"Catch him? My ass! The guy got away. Even Master Tianlong couldn’t get him," Qian Bing said in exasperation, struggling to swallow a mouthful of bread.
"We mobilized so much manpower and resources for this operation. It was supposed to be foolproof, but who would have thought he could actually fly? He just flew away," Sun Tie added, clearly frustrated.
Zhao Dawei, however, remained silent, still attacking his bread like a starving ghost given a new life.
"Don’t tell me he’s become an immortal? Is he really that powerful?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.
"Immortal my ass! Powerful my ass!" Zhao Dawei finally snapped after gulping down several mouthfuls of tea from the pot. "That guy is just a Superpower User, probably just a minor Class A Ability User. His Special Ability is just Aerial Capture, which lets him fly for a bit. He was pretending to be an immortal and made complete fools of us. On top of that, he led us on a chase through the Great Green Mountain for a whole day and night. Damn it..."
In truth, Zhang Bin’s Special Ability was only A-level, equivalent to the strength of a Qi Sea Realm Cultivator. Zhao Dawei’s assessment was spot on, which made Zhang Bin secretly wary. The Special Action Team really has some experts to have seen through the ruse so quickly.
"Still, you guys are pretty amazing to have figured out his true identity and that he was meeting Liu Ruomei. You even set up a Heavenly Net to catch him," Zhang Bin said with a placating smile.
"That was the work of the Special Abilities Group," Zhao Dawei said sullenly.
"The Special Abilities Group? It wasn’t Liu Ruomei who informed on him?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.
"No," Zhao Dawei said, shaking his head but refusing to elaborate.
Zhang Bin had to ask directly, "So how exactly did the Special Ability Group do it?"
"That’s a national secret," Zhao Dawei replied.
"Tch, what kind of secret?" Zhang Bin said dismissively. "I’m a member of the Special Action Team too. Besides, the Rabbit King fell for it once; he won’t be fooled a second time. What’s there to leak now?"
"I can’t tell you. We might still need to use the Liu Ruomei connection to capture Chen Junheng again," Zhao Dawei said seriously. "Chen Junheng is very important to the country."
Zhang Bin countered, "Actually, even if you don’t tell me, I’ve already figured it out. The Special Abilities Group used a Mind-Reading Ability to find out the secret. The Supernatural Expert with the Mind-Reading Ability is He Banxian. He even told my fortune once. I wonder if he can read my thoughts?"
This was, of course, a guess he had arrived at after much thought, with a little help from Tutu, who had discovered that the Special Abilities Group did indeed have a member who could read minds.
