Chapter 756: Leaving Two Behind

In the blink of an eye, several minutes passed, and the expressions of Bunier, Lieka, and the others slowly shifted from anticipation to confusion.

"What is going on?"

Bunier finally couldn’t help but ask.

Logically, one or two minutes should be enough to track the targets’ coordinates and locations.

Now, four or five minutes had gone by, and it was impossible that they hadn’t made any progress.

Let alone the fact that two powerful beings skilled in tracking and searching were working together.

This could only mean that both of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters might not have traced the targets’ movements at all.

"Based on these two Energy Auras, I am still unable to track down the coordinates and locations of the two targets…"

A level 200 strong being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe spoke helplessly.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned to the level 210 strong being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

"I also cannot track the coordinates and locations of the two targets."

The level 210 strong being shook his head as well.

"This is impossible!"

"This absolutely cannot be!"

Lieka and the others were in disbelief at this outcome.

"Not being able to track the coordinates and locations of the two targets means that either the collected Energy Auras are fake."

Bunier analyzed, "But the problem is that this Energy Aura has been used before, so it is confirmed to be effective."

"Moreover, both of the tracked targets are likely carrying treasures that can shield against tracking methods."

"Only powerful treasures can block the tracking methods of strong fighters. Not to mention the strongest member of humanity, even the Shadow King, where would they find such powerful treasures?"

"Furthermore, if both targets are untraceable simultaneously, it means they must both have powerful treasures that shield tracking methods."

This conclusion made it even harder for Lieka and the others to accept.

But aside from this reason, they thought long and hard and couldn’t come up with any other explanation.

Only Yi Chen, who was still extracting luck, clearly understood that their judgment was correct.

He and the Shadow King indeed possessed powerful treasures that could shield against tracking methods.

These two powerful treasures were obtained during the contest for treasures from two level 220 strong beings of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Initially, they were refined by Boses and Titan Bo into treasures suitable for the Boljin Tribe and the Time Tribe.

After the treasure contest concluded, with the assistance of the two, Yi Chen further refined them into treasures suitable for humanity and the Shadow Clan.

The goal was to make sure that the strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, skilled in tracking and searching techniques, couldn’t determine their location.

"What now?"

Bunier and Lieka, along with the others, all looked bewildered.

They never expected that after heavily paying the price to deal with the huge surprise of a Reincarnation Tribe infiltrator, another new surprise would arise.

Whether it was the Shadow King or the strongest member of humanity, neither could determine the coordinates of the two through tracking and searching techniques.

No matter what the reason was, it was somewhat easier to deal with the situation concerning the strongest member of humanity, as they were weaker and held back by the Great Flame Empire. However, the situation on the Shadow King’s side was completely hopeless.

"The Shadow King is not weak in strength and is skilled in stealth techniques. Right now, we cannot track down his coordinates, and with our twelve two hundred and twenty level strong fighters, it would be challenging to find his whereabouts."

Everyone fell silent for a long time until Bunier spoke first: "So, we will temporarily focus on the strongest member of humanity, Yi Chen."

Lieka and the other strong fighters nodded slightly.

Even though the Shadow King had ambushed a strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques and stolen resources and treasures meant for over fifty thousand reinforcements, causing them to deep hatred for him, they had no choice but to set the Shadow King aside for now since they could not locate him.

"The main problem with the strongest member of humanity, Yi Chen, is that five two hundred and ten level strong fighters had gone to the Tianling Star Cluster and mysteriously lost contact."

Bunier intentionally downplayed the seriousness of this issue.

What he said was true, but he did not mention that those five two hundred and ten level strong fighters lost contact just a few minutes after setting out.

There was a huge difference between the two situations.

"This indicates that this strongest member of humanity also holds some hidden cards that we don’t know about."

Lieka pondered, "Moreover, there can’t possibly be powerful treasures that shield tracking and searching techniques in our star cluster. The fact that both the strongest member of humanity and the Shadow King possess them almost confirms that they have secretly allied. This powerful treasure might come from the Shadow King."

"Could his hidden card be the Shadow King?"

A strong fighter couldn’t help but speculate.

"It’s very possible; the real troublemaker is likely the Shadow King. He doesn’t know what sort of chance he obtained, but he was originally only a one hundred ninety level fighter, making it difficult even for two hundred level fighters to ambush him. With this opportunity, he has now reached the point where he can ambush even two hundred and ten level strong fighters."

Bunier nodded: "As far as I know, when the third envoy, Morris, arrived in our star cluster, the Shadow King stole his Space Stone. Inside that Space Stone were high-quality immortal materials that can greatly enhance talent."

Everyone understood Bunier’s implication: the star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe do not get along.

However, conversely, it seemed that this Shadow King thrived in such a situation.

It was very likely that he had acquired other powerful treasures from Morris’s Space Stone, perhaps even some high-quality treasures that neither Morris nor the other parties were aware of.

"If that’s the case, it may not be a bad thing. Because there might be a chance to lure the Shadow King out and take him down."

Lieka contemplated: "But it’s best to be cautious. This star cluster outside our main region feels too sinister; I think safety should come first. We can split our forces into several paths, just like we did to encircle the strong fighters from the Reincarnation Tribe, to support each other."

"That’s a good idea!"

"I agree!"

Everyone nodded, understanding Lieka’s intention.

That was to have all the strong fighters form a line so that no matter which team encountered unexpected situations, other nearby teams could quickly rush over to provide support.

Although everyone firmly believed that with their two hundred twenty level strength realm, they could handle any traps or schemes set by the strongest members of humanity and the Shadow King, a series of unexpected events after arriving in the star cluster had created an atmosphere of caution.

"We also need to have someone stationed at the human federation. How about I stay here with Blake?"

Bunier suddenly suggested.

Lieka and the other strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were somewhat surprised and alert.

But upon further thought, they realized that this guy had been cautious from start to finish. He probably only wanted to avoid all risks by staying behind.

"That works!"

Lieka nodded in agreement.

Let him stay if he wants!

After all, thanks to Bunier’s carefulness, they had managed to catch all the infiltrators from the Reincarnation Tribe.

Plus, Bunier was also one of the leaders, and it was hard to refute his proposal since he volunteered it.

Lieka chose to agree, and the other nine two hundred twenty level strong fighters naturally had no reason to object.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus and decided to set off immediately for the Tianling Star Cluster.
