Chapter 171: Chapter 170: Discovering the Jiali Team
Cheng Zicheng returned every half hour to regroup with them. However, during the second half-hour of scouting, she had results.
"I\'ve found them. Seven people. About five kilometers from us. I just took a quick look at them from a distance; I didn\'t dare get too close for fear of being discovered," Cheng Zicheng brought back the scouting information.
The vision of the Golden Winged Roc in the air was astonishing, to match its rapid flying ability.
"Alright. Sister, maintain this distance and follow them. If they move away from our direction, come back and inform us, and do the same if they approach. As long as we keep a safe distance from them, we won\'t have to worry about encountering them," Tang San told Cheng Zicheng.
"Okay!"
Having discovered the Jiali Academy group, Tang San also silently let out a sigh of relief. The most important goal of this experience was to secretly protect Pretty Girl, from all aspects...
Traveling along the way, on the first day of their journey, they hadn\'t even encountered any Demon Beasts. It was unknown whether it was due to Brother Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Eye advancing, making their luck too favorable.
Hmm, and there was also the advancement of Tang San\'s Heavenly Fox Eye. With the dual Heavenly Fox Eyes, from the perspective of luck, they could absolutely be considered an ultra-luxury lineup. Even the top-level small team combinations within the Monsters wouldn\'t be able to allocate two individuals with the top-notch Heavenly Fox Transformation.
As evening approached and the day gradually darkened, Wu Bingji originally wanted to find a place for everyone to rest, but according to the message from Cheng Zicheng, the Jiali Academy was still marching on. Therefore, Tang San suggested that they continue to press forward to ensure the distance from the Jiali Academy\'s team. They would rest whenever the others halted for the night.
About an hour later, Cheng Zicheng sent back a message that the Jiali Academy had chosen a place to station themselves.
Tang San and his group also stopped, choosing a relatively high terrain to settle down and rest on the spot.
After dinner, everyone rested, taking turns standing guard.
Tang San said to Wu Bingji, "Elder Brother, I\'m still a bit concerned. I want to take a look at Jiali Academy from a distance, just to observe."
Wu Bingji thought for a moment and said, "Isn\'t that too risky?"
Tang San replied, "Not at all, we have Brother Du Bai, don\'t we? Brother Du Bai, give me some luck, consider it your cultivation for today."
As they had ventured deep into the Jiali Mountain Range, it was natural to reserve the full power use of Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Transformation. Unlike during normal cultivation with Tang San when he would fully boost him.
"Okay," Du Bai agreed. The light from the Heavenly Fox Eye flickered, and a faint white halo formed above their heads, shaping into vertical pupils. An invisible white light enveloped Tang San.
Suddenly, Tang San distinctly felt as though everything became better.
Wu Bingji, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng all watched this scene in astonishment; it was the first time they had seen Du Bai exert the Heavenly Fox Eye with full force.
"I\'ll need more than three hours to recover," Du Bai said, weakened considerably. Although he had not overextended his use of the Heavenly Fox Eye, it still consumed a great deal of his Spiritual Power and bloodline power. A long recovery period was necessary.
However, this consumption was beneficial for the cultivation of his Heavenly Fox Eye and for stimulating his Heavenly Fox Bloodline.
As a human vassal, his bloodline could, of course, not compare to that of the direct descendants of the Heavenly Fox demon clan. Therefore, no one knew to what extent he could cultivate the Heavenly Fox Eye. As a result, he needed to constantly stimulate his own bloodline, to squeeze as much bloodline power as possible, making his own bloodline stronger.
Another method to enhance one\'s bloodline was to soak in the fresh blood of the Heavenly Fox demon clan, increasing one\'s bloodline concentration. But catching a high-ranking individual or a descendant with the pure bloodline of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was like a fool\'s dream. Thus, Du Bai\'s enhancement had to come from stimulating himself.
Wu Bingji said, "Go and come back quickly. If you encounter danger, send a signal and come back, we\'ll support you."
Tang San nodded.
With his ability to conceal himself, the likelihood of being discovered was absolutely minimal. His mission was to determine if Pretty Girl was truly within Jiali Academy\'s team and also to observe the opponent\'s situation.
Watching Tang San disappear into the night in just a few moments, Gu Li said, "Big Brother, why do I feel that Xiao Tang is a bit odd this time, as if he\'s giving special importance to Jiali Academy\'s team?"
Wu Bingji said, "He probably has his reasons. You guys rest first, I\'ll take the first watch."
When it came to Tang San, he chose unconditional trust. Simply because ever since Tang San had joined Redemption Academy, he had brought about such significant changes. Almost everyone had gained considerable benefits from Tang San, and yet Tang San had never asked for anything in return.
Of course, that was what he did not know.
This trip was indeed very different from the last, the most straightforward change being the vast difference in strength.
If they were to encounter a Seventh-grade Winged Tiger again, Wu Bingji was now absolutely confident they could all get away unscathed. The Seventh Stage didn\'t seem so terrifying anymore. The last time they ventured out, they were filled with trepidation!
Tang San activated his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, sensing the various energy auras around him. Following the direction previously mentioned by Cheng Zicheng, he quickly approached.
With the Luck boost from the Heavenly Fox Eye, he wasn\'t afraid of being unable to find the opposition\'s camp at all. The drive of Luck could help him achieve that.
Five kilometers was naturally a very short distance for him. Within a matter of minutes, Tang San had already sensed the team from Jiali Academy in the distance.
Their auras were so intense that with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he could see various elemental waves clearly occurring around them.
Moving swiftly to about a hundred meters away, Tang San controlled his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to bring his own aura to a complete still.
The opposing small team had to have someone responsible for reconnaissance, involving both sensory and visual scouting.
Therefore, after approaching this distance, while he repressed his aura, he also started using Leopard Flash to leap around. At the same time, a faint dark purple halo glowed in his eyes, and his skin\'s surface turned dark purple, blending his aura with the surrounding vegetation.
This was an application of the Bluesilver Emperor\'s Mark, assimilating with plants.
The evolution of the Bluesilver Emperor\'s Bloodline Brand was something that Tang San had instigated. He had control over which direction to evolve and what traits he needed.
Gradually drawing closer, Tang San concealed himself in the shadow of a large tree, enhancing his perception.
In terms of cultivation base, he was certainly not on par with the Golden Lion Dog of Jiali Academy\'s team. Within this team, not to mention the Eighth Stage Golden Lion Dog, the rest of the members were also at least Sixth Stage or higher, with two at the Seventh Stage. This team\'s strength was much stronger than their own.
But in terms of Spiritual Power, Tang San was confident that he could outpace them.
