"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?"

"If Brother Qin is willing to bring people over to support us, I would, of course, welcome that."

"Open the door! Let them in!"

Lin Qi saw Qin Mu approaching and without further ado, gestured to the stationed players to open the gate.

It is quite normal for some caravans to rest overnight at the bases or camps of the major factions in the wilderness, as long as the caravans are willing to pay for lodging. The factions are quite willing since they can earn some money for nothing.

Qin Mu took the initiative to bring the search and rescue team over, obviously wanting to let him earn a bit. Otherwise, under the name of the search and rescue team, no matter where they go, all major wilderness factions would welcome them with open arms, and there would be no need to come to the newly established Red Moon Mountain.

The jungling hero next to Lin Qi, seeing the rather large convoy in front, also lit up his eyes.

"It's the first time I've heard of a search and rescue team. Why did they come to us?"

"I guess it should be a new storyline, maybe there's a mission that can be triggered."

"Should we go say hello to them?"

"What are you thinking? Didn't you see the Hall Master did not have any dialogue? If you mess up and cause bad feelings, be careful you won't get any missions in the future. Just dutifully play our role as gatekeepers."

The dozen or so players guarding the gate slowly opened the door while quietly discussing the sizeable search and rescue team.

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Qin Mu turned and nodded in gratitude to the commanding dignified Feather Race man in the search and rescue team.

The dignified man from the Feather Race said nothing, just respectfully spoke with a young Feather Race man sitting beside him. With the young man's consent, twelve medium-sized transport trucks drove into Red Moon Mountain.

The high-level Martial Artist Level masters from various races who got off the trucks followed alongside the vehicles and climbed the mountain together.

Only when the convoy disappeared from view did Qin Mu let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Qin, what's going on? Weren't you doing association missions? How come you're with the search and rescue team?" Lin Qi looked at Qin Mu with curiosity. "Did a nearby city get overrun by a monster tide?"

"It's a long story." Qin Mu sighed and then asked, "Do you have anything to eat here? We can talk while we eat."

"We do. Our Martial Arts Hall has a nice restaurant up the mountain. Let's talk there." Lin Qi smiled and nodded, leading Qin Mu up the mountain.

As for the energy ore transportation convoy, the players took care of bringing them back.

Although upgrading the basic training ground is important, it's nothing compared to the matters of the search and rescue team.

The monster tide attacking a city is no small matter. If a nearby city is destroyed, the monster tide will undoubtedly target nearby cities as well, turning any locations they pass through into forbidden zones for all races.

If the monster tide heads towards Chasing Light City, his troubles would be insurmountable.

On Red Moon Mountain, at the Celestial Might Restaurant.

After Lin Qi ordered two servings of grilled meat with rice, he couldn't help but discuss the matters of the search and rescue team with Qin Mu.

"Brother Qin, what's the situation with this search and rescue team?" Lin Qi asked.

"Just as you thought, a city has been overrun by a monster tide. We went to look for survivors and gather specific information." Qin Mu smiled and said, "However, the destroyed city isn't one nearby, but rather a small mobile city, Azure Sky!"

"A mobile city? Even a mobile city could be overrun?" Lin Qi gasped in shock.

In the world of high-level martial arts, numerous cities survive by being established on large energy ore veins. However, a small number of cities move across the land, not only acquiring abundant rare resources but also trading with different cities, possessing resources far beyond those of fixed cities.

Because of the greater resources, the overall strength of mobile cities is significantly stronger than fixed ones. Even many strong individuals from fixed cities venture to live in mobile cities.

These mobile cities, besides being intrinsically strong, often manage to avoid monster tides in advance.

According to the archives of Chasing Light City, mobile cities have rarely been overtaken by monsters over the past hundred years, with over ninety percent of destructed cases being fixed cities ruined by monster tides.

"It's really hard to believe, news of a mobile city being overrun." Qin Mu nodded slowly, "If such a monster tide were to attack Chasing Light City, the surrounding fixed cities simply couldn't withstand it, which is why we're sent to investigate."

"According to its planned route, Azure Sky should have passed nearby cities over ten days ago, but for some unknown reason, it never appeared."

"Just yesterday, our exploration aircraft discovered Azure Sky, but Azure Sky, the mobile city, was in ruins, scattered with monster carcasses, merely following the pre-set route at a slow pace. Thus it's speculated that Azure Sky was hit by a monster tide attack, and the attack was so sudden that it left little room for resistance before it fell."

"Now, all city authorities are concerned. Initially, the Martial Artist Association intended to send high-level fighters to explore, but those city leaders valued their lives too much, fearing powerful monsters might stay in Azure Sky waiting to prey on them. So, they sent us, peripheral members of the association, to scout ahead."

"These city leaders sure are cautious." Lin Qi, hearing this, slightly relaxed, looking at Qin Mu with a grin, "But it also provides an opportunity for you, Brother Qin."

"Absolutely," Qin Mu nodded with a smile, "Azure Sky was a remarkable mobile city. Many talented students from Chasing Light City aimed to enroll in Azure Sky's Martial Artist University, and even the genius martial artists aspired to advance there. With Azure Sky now destroyed, acquiring just a fraction of its resources could mean significant progress for us Martial Artist Level aspirants."

"But we are merely the second batch; those who heard the news earlier - major suburban factions and families - have already dispatched people to Azure Sky. We represent the Martial Artist Association, going there now is only to pick up leftovers."

"So, Brother Lin, does your Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall want to join us?"

"Can our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall go too?" Lin Qi asked in surprise.

Such a mobile city as Azure Sky is surely a feast for nearby major cities, hard to imagine giving outsiders any benefits, especially wild factions like Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, who would be crushed by major powers if they dared to indulge.

"Why not?" Qin Mu said indifferently, "Do you think everyone in this search and rescue team comes from the Martial Artist Association? The association only sent a hundred peripheral members, and the other two hundred in the convoy are all experts from major wild factions."

"And this is merely the first wave of people from wild factions. Now that the wild factions have just received the news, many are organizing their forces, and it's not just in Chasing Light City; wild factions from nearby cities are likely doing the same."

"While the core region of Azure Sky might be out of reach to wild factions, suburban factions and families can't hold back the peripheral areas, especially since they also rely on these wild factions to deal with matters, so they turn a blind eye."

"The reason I brought people over this time is actually to inform you, so you won't be like other wild factions who are too timid to take some benefits even after hearing the news."

"A mobile city's destruction might not happen many times in a century, let alone in our region. If you miss this chance, you might not get another one in a hundred years."

"In short, do you want to join us?"
