Chapter 746: Discovery of Abnormality

“Troke, what are you doing?”

Troke was lost in his ecstatic thoughts when he suddenly heard an angry shout.

He was filled with shock.

Turning around, he saw a one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“Nothing, I’m not doing anything… Tai, Tai Te Li, what does it matter to you what I do?”

Troke felt a mix of joy and fear, and in an instant, he became flustered and started to speak in confused sentences.

This time, even the one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member, along with other strong fighters who heard the shout, sensed that something was off.

This guy named Troke was clearly a bit anxious.

Tai Te Li felt a surge of joy.

He was originally Troke’s direct superior but had been suppressing him out of jealousy, despite Troke’s talent limit being able to reach level 210.

Little did he know that Troke had the secret support of the Reincarnation Tribe behind him.

No matter how much he tried to hold Troke down, Troke always found ways to achieve various accomplishments.

As Troke’s level continued to rise, he earned promotions, putting him on equal footing with Tai Te Li, and in some ways, even surpassing him.

Fearing that Troke might seek revenge, Tai Te Li had been looking for a chance to take the initiative and suppress him.

Troke’s recent behavior had not attracted anyone’s attention, but it was noticed as unusual by Tai Te Li, who had been secretly observing and waiting for an opportunity.

When everyone heard Morris’s introduction and was filled with joy, Tai Te Li noticed that Troke was the most excited one of all.

Troke couldn’t hide the joy on his face at all.

What surprised him even more was that after Morris changed the topic and all the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members regained their clarity, Troke still had a look of excitement on his face, completely unaffected by Morris’s words.

His focus was clearly not on Morris.

This gave Tai Te Li a chance.

Originally, he simply wanted to reprimand Troke a little to draw the attention of the strong fighters, making them aware that Troke had ignored them and was not listening to their conversation.

But the outcome surprised Tai Te Li greatly.

Troke was actually speaking in confused sentences and was in a state of panic.

This clearly indicated he was involved in something that should not be revealed.

“Esteemed lords, I noticed his strange demeanor earlier, as his attention was completely away from your casual chat, which felt a bit suspicious, so I deliberately spoke out to scold him,” Tai Te Li explained to the strong fighters. “You must have also noticed his words and actions. There must be something he is hiding.”

The strong fighters all nodded, agreeing with Tai Te Li’s assessment.

Their Perception Ability locked onto Troke, while their gazes shifted toward Morris.

Among the strong fighters present, the highest level only reached level 210.

And among the level 210 strong fighters, Morris was the third envoy sent by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to this star cluster, giving him a nominally higher status than them.

Naturally, this matter had to be led by Morris.

“Esteemed lords, I just heard about the strongest member of humanity, and I got overly excited, thinking too much, which made me lose focus. When he suddenly shouted at me, I was startled, fearing that you would blame me, and that’s why I acted a bit out of sorts.”

Troke finally reacted and hurried to explain.

“First, hand over all the treasures, and we will check them carefully! If there’s truly no problem, we won’t blame you at all.”

Under normal circumstances, no one would think too much about it, as occasionally losing focus is normal.

However, this was a secret mission.

If it were any two hundred and ten level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in charge, they would definitely demand the other party hand over all the treasures for inspection.

Morris took it a step further by specifically adding the words “careful inspection.”

Because in the case of other two hundred and ten level strong fighters, they would at most have had some suspicion and would request a check of various treasures out of caution.

But in their hearts, they would still lean towards believing Troke’s words.

The reason was simple.

This group of reinforcements had been carefully selected and their backgrounds thoroughly vetted.

It would be hard for ordinary races’ Intelligence Organizations to hide their efforts to develop them as spies or inside supporters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

In addition, the reinforcements involved in this operation had received detailed checks before coming.

All communication stones capable of external contact were handed in, and they obtained a blank one that contained no energy from other individuals.

All treasure materials were also examined to ensure that even if there were some spies carefully cultivated by major races long ago, they would not be able to leak information before returning to the Tree Star Cluster.

Thus, rechecking everything was just a routine task.

Morris was different.

After arriving in this star cluster, he had encountered far too many impossible situations.

He was much more cautious than other two hundred and ten level strong fighters.

“Okay!”

Troke forced down his inner panic and took out all his Space Stones and various treasures, placing them in front of him.

Among them was also the blue gem.

Morris nodded and, along with the other two hundred and ten level strong fighters, divided the tasks, monitoring Troke while alternating using their Perception Ability to inspect various treasures.

“How strange, could it be that this Tree-Dwelling Tribe is hiding something? Shadow King, have you noticed anything unusual?”

Yi Chen couldn’t help but send a message to the Shadow King.

He was continuously drawing the luck of the high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, and naturally received information about the situation through the Shadow King’s Perception Ability.

He also felt puzzled.

So far, he had drained the luck of over eight thousand high-end combatants.

This included Troke.

With the luck drained and misfortune following, it was inevitable that some of the over eight thousand high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe might be accidentally killed.

Troke suddenly drawing attention and suspicion was not at all surprising to Yi Chen.

However, Troke’s impending doom meant he must have been caught with some incriminating evidence.

At present, the only reason that could connect Troke’s life to danger was that he truly belonged to a certain race’s spy and leaked information about this place to the race he served.

“No…”

The Shadow King shook his head.

“Let’s keep watching!”

Yi Chen didn’t think much more about it.

When death is near, any unexpected situation and reason could occur.

Perhaps a certain two hundred and ten level strong fighter found this guy unpleasant and might randomly kill him.

He just hoped that things wouldn’t escalate.

Because he had already drained the luck of over eight thousand high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and there were still over forty thousand high-end combatants’ luck waiting for him to extract.

In addition, there were thousands of level 200 strong fighters and hundreds of level 210 strong fighters.

If a chain reaction occurred, it could trigger the misfortune of those high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who had already been drained, potentially leading to a chaotic battle for inexplicable reasons.

If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to continue extracting luck.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and over a hundred two hundred and ten level strong fighters had thoroughly checked all the treasures and materials using their Perception Ability.

No one discovered any abnormalities.

“They probably just overthought it and lost focus.”

“Never mind, we also thought too much.”

The two hundred and ten level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe chose to believe Troke.

Troke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This blue gem, which could serve as a hiding place for high-ranking members of the Intelligence Organization during meetings, was truly extraordinary.

Not to mention two hundred and ten level strong fighters, even a level 220 strong fighter personally using their Perception Ability would only conclude that this treasure was merely a defensive treasure, and would never discover that it was actually a space-type treasure.
