Some might ask why Kasahala himself, also after the Pan Ku Treasure Box, dared to report them so brazenly. Did he not fear being apprehended?
In fact, Kasahala was not afraid at all.
To execute this plan, Kasahala had generously offered a large number of precious artifacts, and he himself had been received with high honors. He had also reiterated his desire to visit Tibet to experience its scenic beauty, which had been granted.
Furthermore, there were no surveillance cameras on the snowy mountain. When the soldiers arrived, they only saw the mercenaries, who had been knocked unconscious and bound. At that time, their identities were as members of Kasahala's expedition. The soldiers then saw people matching Kasahala's description emerging from the temple. The number of people was correct, including a child and a sorcerer. Regardless, they had to be taken in for questioning.
Thus, Daolong and his companions were taken back to the military camp as terrorists and subjected to a series of interrogations.
In the interrogation room, two soldiers, responsible for the questioning, looked at Daolong sitting opposite them with grave expressions.
One of them said, "Mr. Daolong, according to your stated reason for entry, it was to visit relatives. However, your relatives are in Xianggang. We would like to know why you and your family are here."
Looking at the two, Daolong tentatively asked, "Uh... this, if I said our family was here for a tour, would you believe us?"
"What do you think?"
One of the interrogators, clearly hot-tempered, impatiently tapped the table with his pen and said, "Mr. Daolong, I want you to be mindful of what you say. We are not joking with you. If you cannot give us a satisfactory answer, you and your family will be arrested as spies."
Seeing that Daolong was still beating around the bush, the two exchanged glances, stood up, and said, "Mr. Daolong, we will give you some time to think. We hope that when we come back in, you will have a different answer."
Watching them leave, Daolong let out a long sigh. What kind of trouble had he gotten himself into?
On the other side, since the interrogation of Daolong yielded no results, the soldiers decided to seek answers from the others.
Over the next while, they interrogated Old Man, the Enforcer, and Little Snake separately. Even the two children, Jade and Paco, were not spared, as the soldiers attempted to extract information from them with "sugar-coated bullets."
Incidentally, Paco's willpower was truly weak. Two candied hawthorns almost got him to crack. If not for Jade holding him back, Paco would have surely become a traitor to the Dragon Team.
An hour passed, and when the two interrogating soldiers returned to the interrogation room.
Seeing them, Daolong knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He sighed and said, "Alright, actually, we came here to stop the Black Hand's actions. Shendu has found a magical treasure box that can release demons imprisoned in hell. This treasure box is hidden in the temple, but unfortunately, the treasure box was ultimately taken by the Black Hand."
The two soldiers looked at each other after hearing Daolong's words. One of them took out a file and flipped through it, saying, "You say you came here to prevent the Black Hand from releasing demons, but you have two underage children in your group, an old man, and a notorious thief. What you're saying now is very hard to believe."
The resurrection of demons and their rampage in the US had spread rapidly across the internet, causing significant international impact. The entire country had entered a state of emergency, and even they, soldiers stationed in the remote frontier, were required to watch related videos and learn about magic.

Although what Daolong said sounded like the ravings of a doomsday prophet, in such critical times, no aspect could be taken lightly.
One soldier remained to continue interrogating Daolong, while the other quickly left to report to his superior.
Upon learning of the matter, the soldier's superior attached great importance to it and immediately reported to the relevant departments.
Two hours later, the nearest Crimson Dragon Brigade responded swiftly, dispatching experienced sorcerers by helicopter to the military camp.
Speaking of the Crimson Dragon Brigade, it is a special force urgently formed by Zhonghuajia, with sorcerers at its core and multiple branches of the military cooperating. The entire brigade has fifty sorcerers, who were formerly talented individuals scattered among the populace. Now, they have answered the nation's call and have unreservedly joined the military. The construction of the magical shield covering the entire country also involved the Crimson Dragon Brigade.
Besides the Crimson Dragon Brigade, there are six other similar forces nationwide: Black Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Green Dragon, Azure Dragon, Blue Dragon, and Violet Dragon, dispersed across the country and collectively known as the Divine Dragon Legion.
After Shendu's revival, legendary creatures began to appear worldwide, such as vampires and werewolves in North America, and Kappa in Dongying.
As one of the five ancient civilizations, Zhonghuajia has seen the emergence of legendary creatures from its history and folklore, such as zombies and water monkeys. To ensure the safety of its citizens, this Divine Dragon Legion is deployed across the country, appearing wherever danger arises.
It is precisely because of Zhonghuajia's rapid response, high efficiency, and the soldiers' spirit of sacrificing their lives that the dangers in various parts of Zhonghuajia have been quelled. Legendary creatures have either been apprehended or eliminated, forming a stark contrast with the chaos in other countries.
The helicopter had barely landed and stopped when two sorcerers jumped out in a hurry. One of them almost face-planted due to his haste.
Seeing their panic, the soldiers found it strange.
Normally, these sorcerers visited their military camp frequently to teach magic, always with their noses in the air, acting very arrogant. What was wrong now? Were they in a hurry to be reincarnated?
However, the soldiers were unaware that this was just the beginning. What happened next would truly shock them to their core.
Upon hearing that the soldiers had locked Old Man in the interrogation room, the two sorcerers were so enraged that they directly cursed. Without waiting for a soldier to lead the way, they snatched the keys from the soldier's hand and hurried to the interrogation room.
After calming down slightly, they opened the interrogation room door.
Old Man, who was sitting on a stool meditating, heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock outside. His ears twitched, and he raised an eyebrow, uttering only two words: "Here?"
Upon opening the door, the two sorcerers saw Old Man. Without a word, they knelt on the ground and performed a grand salute.
This action completely stunned the soldiers outside the interrogation room, especially the two who had just interrogated Old Man. They quickly asked the sergeant next to them if they were in trouble.
The sergeant looked inside, then at the crestfallen soldiers, and said uncertainly, "Should... shouldn't be, right?"
