Chapter 544: Looking for Someone
The group of people woke up one after another.
Since there was actually no unity among the group, everyone took turns to rest and keep watch.
Of course, the guys from the treasure-stealing group were an exception. These guys were not regular troops, so they slept soundly.
After everyone had a simple wash, their spirits and outlook were refreshed.
The senior agent of the Rock Shadow Lightning Campaign took out the blueprint first and said, "This is the first retreat route I planned yesterday based on the intelligence provided by everyone. If there are no problems, then let's try this route first."
"Also, this is the backup route. Everyone, remember this. If you lose contact unexpectedly, then retreat along the backup route."
Everyone's faces were livid as they changed the backup routes five times. They encountered a landslide and two monster waves. The treasure-hunting team lost three people. They finally reached a camp prepared by the treasure-hunting team through the fifth backup retreat route.
What is valuable is that there is a leader among us (a low-level agent) and some other people.
When they arrived, the group had just fought off a small wave of monsters consisting of hillbillies and young rock dragon lizards.
Then after talking, they successfully recruited these people, and the team became even bigger.
Several people from Liyue officials gathered together and muttered, " Something is wrong."
"It's indeed not right. This recruitment was too smooth, as if they already knew each other."
"Not only that, they are too clear about the deployment of the treasure-stealing groups. If we hadn't used those treasure-stealing groups appropriately during the previous medium-sized monster wave, we wouldn't have suffered such a small loss."
"Stop talking, they've seen it."
A mid-level agent came over and said to them, "I just received news when checking intelligence that your Liyue official camp is not far from here, so the captain is going to escort you there in a while."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome." The mid-level agent nodded and left.
They need to conduct intensive special training for those lazy members of the treasure-hunting group to enable them to master some abilities to kill monsters quickly, otherwise they would be too passive.
Before that, the unstable factors need to be eliminated, that is, the official people from Liyue.
However, the cleaning here does not mean killing them directly. There is no need for that. If you had this idea, you would have killed them when you were underground before.
And they were not lying. No more than 2km away from here in a straight line is an official Liyue miner forward base.
The Qianyan Army is stationed there. Although it is not the main forward exploration base, its strength is not weak.
After about two hours of initial rest, the Rock Shadow and Lightning Team selected four mid-level agents to escort them to the official Liyue miners' forward base.
"According to the treasure-stealing groups, this route is actually quite safe because they have cleared this section of the road before. Of course, the Qianyan Army has also cleared it."
The people were smoothly transported to the base along the way, with only scattered monsters and hillbillies along the way.
These guys might have just been resurrected , so they are very ferocious under the blessing of the black mud. However, no matter how ferocious they are, they are no match for the mid-level agents in combat.
"Then I will take you here."
"Um~ Sorry to bother you guys."
When the four mid-level agents returned to the base, they found that the number of people there had increased again.
This time it was seven advance teams of Fatui and several strong men from the Rock Shadow and Thunderbolt Clan. The Fatui chased after them after they found the marks left by the previous Thunderfire Warlock on the road.
They were the remaining members of the 7th Company of the Fatui. Out of more than a hundred people, only a few of them were left. The main reason was that their combat uniforms were damaged and they dared not use the evil eye for a long time. It was almost the same reason as the death of the Thunder Fireflies of the Thunder Firefly Warlock.
As for the several senior agents of the Rock Shadow Raikou Group, they came to collect intelligence on the Rock Layer Abyss, with the main purpose of finding Aradaki Ichito.
"This time it's a request from our headquarters, and we need to find a young demon named Aradaki Ichito." said the senior agent.
"He should also be accompanied by Liyue's legal expert Yan Fei, Aratake Ito's deputy, the miko Kuki Shinobu, and of course the traveler Ying and his white floating creature followers."
"Has anyone seen them?"
Several ordinary members of the treasure-stealing group said, "We have seen the law expert and the traveler. We were beaten up by them. There were a few people around them at the time, but we don't know if they are the Arawaki Ichito you mentioned."
"Where did they go?"
"The travelers went deeper, and we don't know where exactly they went. But a few days after they left, the monsters started to go crazy, and then this monster tide broke out." said a member of the treasure-hunting group.
"Then you continue to evacuate. We need more detailed information." After obtaining detailed information about the underground mine tunnels, these big guys also wanted to leave.
These people are all senior and experienced agents of the Liyue branch during the Rock Shadow Lightning Campaign, and some of them even participated in the siege of Tartaglia last time.
Although the captain of the team is also a senior agent, he is still inferior to the ones in front of him.
And according to what these people said, the headquarters meant that this kid named Aradaki Ichito was a little important.
So not only are they here, but maybe soon elite agents from the neighboring Xumi branch will come over to help find that guy.
It's really... he just opens his mouth and runs his legs off.
…
Aradaki Ichito is in a very bad condition now. Although he punched out the haunted room just to show off, it was also because of this punch that Aradaki Ichito has not recovered yet.
He could only move with the care of Achou and Jiuqi Shinobu.
But the space they are in is very strange. Although people will not feel tired physically, their mental fatigue will increase exponentially.
This fatigue is even more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.
Even a top-level three-eyed and five-manifest immortal like Xiao cannot avoid this situation.
Fortunately, the traveler and others have already reached the Taiweiyi Pan. After finding the Taiweiyi Pan, all they have to do next is to combine the power of human immortals to successfully send them out.
"I don't know how the travelers are preparing." Paimon said, scratching his head.
"I hope it's okay." Jiuqi Shinobu said with emotion, "Teacher Yanfei, would you like to eat some violet melon?"
"No, I'm not feeling hungry for the moment." Yan Fei flipped through the code and said, "How is Arawaki Ichito?"
"I'm just exhausted. As long as I get out, I'll recover quickly with my ghost bloodline."
