That afternoon, all students participating in the mission gathered in the plaza, standing in different areas by class.The students carried half-person tall combat packs, held weapons, and their faces were filled with excitement.It seemed this wasn't a mission, but rather an outdoor camping trip where they could enjoy the scenery.Among the crowd, one person's equipment was particularly striking.He carried a combat pack on his left shoulder and a black, two-meter-tall, long, rectangular iron box on his right shoulder, with a combat saber hanging from his waist, looking fully loaded."What is he carrying?""It looks like a gun case.""A gun? Do Spiritual Energy Users still use guns?"The Special Warfare Department students discussed animatedly, and even the neighboring Command Department noticed them, each casting their gaze over, as if watching something very amusing.The laughter from the Command Department reached Xiang Dongyang's ears, and he looked at Qin Tian helplessly.The Command Department and the Special Warfare Department had always been at odds.The Command Department believed that the Special Warfare Department students were a bunch of uneducated rich second-generation kids who only got into the school by paying money.Meanwhile, the Special Warfare Department thought that the Command Department people always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, as if all other departments were trash except for the Command Department, especially the Special Warfare Department, which they barely looked at directly, even considering them worse than ordinary students.Because of this, conflicts often broke out between the Command Department and the Special Warfare Department, but usually, the Special Warfare Department ended up at a disadvantage.This mission should have been another invisible struggle, to see who could find the wanted person fastest, but before the mission even started, the Command Department already had a laugh at their expense.A gun?Brother, you can already defeat me, why are you carrying this broken gun?"Qin Tian... Brother."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) Zhu Tianyou sidled up to Qin Tian and cautiously asked, "Is there a gun in this iron box of yours?"Qin Tian glanced at him and simply responded:"Yes."Hiss, so cold~Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) swallowed, feeling goosebumps rising. Being in a team with such a cold person, how agonizing would the coming days be?Whoever made this list, I hate them!Xiong Gang and Huang Xiaojia stood beside them, exchanging glances, their eyes full of helplessness.The three were secretly observing Qin Tian, but Qin Tian was also secretly observing the three of them.Due to a lack of contact in daily life, he had no particular impression of the three, only remembering that Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) loved to share news in class. It seemed he was always the first to know about any slight disturbance in the school.Xiong Gang was a tall and sturdy boy with dark skin, looking like a black tower. His weapon was a broad-bladed combat saber.At Xiongying Military Academy, the saber seemed to be a mainstream weapon; far more people chose saber combat courses than other cold weapon courses.Huang Xiaojia was petite, with a round face, quite cute, and a more lively personality. She chattered non-stop with Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) on the side.After all personnel were assembled and the roster checked, several large aircraft carried all the students and swiftly headed towards Twilight Ridge....Forty minutes later, the aircraft arrived above Twilight Ridge.Looking down through the windows, as far as the eye could see, was a vast, boundless green ocean. The undulating ridges lay across the land like giant dragons, each fold speaking of the vicissitudes of time.Qin Tian's brows furrowed slightly. The sheer size of Twilight Ridge exceeded his imagination. Searching for someone here was like looking for a needle in a haystack; no matter how strong his tracking ability was, it would be futile.It was purely a matter of probability."Qin Tian, Zhu Tianyou, Xiong Gang, Huang Xiaojia, the four of you disembark here."A soldier in military uniform said sternly, "The area you are responsible for has been sent to your communication devices. You must complete a full-coverage search within two days.""Yes!"The four saluted simultaneously, just like the students before them, and then descended along ropes into Twilight Ridge...."Young Master, all personnel have now entered Twilight Ridge."Inside the warplane, a man in black stood beside the young man, speaking very respectfully."Mm, I know."Wen Chengxian's eyes were sinister, and his fists clenched, making cracking sounds.A group of damned vampires, filthy and inferior blood descendants, had played a trick of deception right under his nose, stealing the essence blood of an ancient beast.That was a treasure he had obtained from a certain ruin at a great cost, with several of his trusted subordinates dying or being injured.If he handed it over to the Oriental Family, his President father might very well advance further, having a chance to contend for the next governor's position.But all of this had been ruined by those shameless and despicable vampires.They were not descendants of the Vladimir family, one of the nine sacred bloodlines; they were just a few low-level blood descendants, the strongest of whom was merely a fifth-order Spiritual Energy User with a viscount bloodline.If he hadn't been too careless, how could the essence blood have been stolen?Fortunately, the essence blood was sealed in millennium amber, and the vampires wouldn't be able to open it anytime soon, so he still had time.To find these vampires as quickly as possible, he had paid a great price, mobilizing almost all the Spiritual Energy Users from the 45th Army Corps, the 26th Army Corps, and Xiongying Military Academy, deploying them into Twilight Ridge.Thousands of energy detectors were conducting full-coverage, dead-angle-free reconnaissance above the mountains.As soon as a high-intensity battle occurred anywhere, the detectors would immediately alert and provide coordinates.He refused to believe how long a group of vampires could hide in Twilight Ridge....Stepping «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» into this forest felt like entering a green kingdom forgotten by time. Lush branches intertwined, weaving a dense green net overhead. Sunlight struggled through the gaps between the leaves, casting golden beams that illuminated the dust particles suspended in the air.Beneath their feet was a thick layer of fallen leaves; with every step, they could feel a soft sensation, accompanied by a faint rustling sound. The air was filled with the unique scent of soil mixed with vegetation, a rustic yet vibrant aroma."This is my first time going so deep into the forest."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) looked left and right, appearing to be gaining new experiences.Xiong Gang and Huang Xiaojia next to him weren't much better; they would touch tree trunks for a while, then pick up fallen leaves from the ground, and occasionally climb trees to gaze into the distance, having a grand time.Do you think this is a jungle adventure?Qin Tian shook his head helplessly. He knew that the targets of this mission were a group of extremely vicious Xingdao (Star Pirates), experienced and highly vigilant, otherwise, such a large-scale search wouldn't have been deployed.To find clues, carefulness and caution were indispensable. With Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) and the other two playing around like this, even if the Xingdao (Star Pirates) were nearby, they would have heard the noise and run far away by now.Of course, there could also be a worse scenario: the Xingdao (Star Pirates) might not run, but instead come to hunt them.These three rookies, facing Xingdao (Star Pirates), would only be slaughtered.Thinking of this, Qin Tian coughed twice forcefully and said:"You three, come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you."
