Chapter 694: Received News

In order to find the two powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and recover the treasure, the Sentinel teams of the Time Tribe spread throughout the entire star field, with their numbers continually increasing.

Yi Chen quickly located a surveillance target using the Shadow King’s stealth techniques.

It was a Sentinel team led by a time tribe warrior at level 210.

The entire team consisted of this level 210 Time Tribe warrior, along with eight level 200 Time Tribe warriors, and nearly one hundred thousand Time Tribe members ranging from level 150 to level 190.

The level 210 Time Tribe warrior was stationed at the center, responsible for coordinating and assigning areas for the Sentinel team to patrol.

Meanwhile, the Shadow King remained hidden nearby using his stealth techniques.

Boses and Titan Bo monitored him and his surroundings with their strong sensing abilities, watching for even the slightest movements.

If the level 210 Time Tribe warrior received news about the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighters, the Shadow King would know immediately.

"Your Majesty, it seems there are quite a few others who share our thoughts."

The Shadow King conveyed to Yi Chen, "Both Boses and Titan Bo have faintly sensed extremely weak fluctuations in Perception Ability around the Time Tribe warriors."

"It is highly likely that some strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques are lurking nearby, wanting to use this level 210 Time Tribe warrior to find out how the Time Tribe’s official search for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighters is progressing."

"Should we have Boses and Titan Bo locate these lurking strong fighters?"

"Don’t worry about those lurking strong fighters. Focus on watching the level 210 Time Tribe warrior. Boses and Titan Bo should be extra careful not to leak their sensing abilities, in case there are stronger fighters hiding around."

Yi Chen decisively rejected the suggestion.

This was because it was not conflicting.

Although the lurking strong fighters could be considered competitors in the treasure hunt, this blocked area attracted countless strong fighters from various tribes.

There were more than enough competitors; these few were inconsequential.

There was no need to create additional complications by investigating the exact locations of these fighters.

After all, everyone had the same goal, simply wanting to track the whereabouts of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighters through the level 210 Time Tribe warrior.

No one would suddenly emerge to cause trouble.

Moreover, although the level 210 Time Tribe warrior was present, it was not very likely that there were many fighters above level 210 skilled in stealth techniques lurking around.

However, it wasn’t impossible.

After all, if the Shadow King could sneak close to fighters over level 220 without fear of detection, then for safety, Yi Chen had just chosen a level 210 Time Tribe warrior to monitor.

It was also not out of the question for a fighter above level 210, skilled in stealth techniques, to choose to watch the level 210 Time Tribe warrior for safety reasons rather than selecting a level 220 Time Tribe warrior who could provide information more quickly.

It was quite possible that there were even stronger fighters, at levels 230 or 240, nearby.

These fighters might have already detected the Shadow King in his hiding state.

Though the chances were extremely slim, it was not absolutely impossible.

So, it was better to keep quiet for now.

“Alright!”

The Shadow King responded and conveyed Yi Chen’s orders to Boses and Titan Bo.

After considering for a moment, Yi Chen used one ten-thousandth of his accumulated fortune from the Qi Sea on himself.

The total amount of fortune stored in Yi Chen’s Qi Sea had reached an astonishing level. Even though it was only one ten-thousandth, it was still quite remarkable.

Then, while practicing, he listened to the sounds and images transmitted by the Shadow King through his Perception Ability.

Day one, day two, day three…

Time flew by.

Even though Yi Chen consumed one ten-thousandth of his stored fortune each day, he still received no good news.

However, no good news could also be seen as good news.

Because, with the fortune Yi Chen used every day, he usually could obtain a couple of powerful treasures.

But after several days without any gains, it seemed that the fortune he expended was ineffective, and he was still lacking.

In Yi Chen’s view, this meant his desire was too strong and that the fortune hadn’t yet shown its expected effect.

It could be seen as good news amidst the bad.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

On the Deserted Star, the level 210 Time Tribe warrior was making arrangements and adjustments for a new round of Sentinels.

As more Time Tribe warriors flooded into this star field, the area he was responsible for was continuously shrinking.

Thus, the Sentinels had to be reassigned according to the situation.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Suddenly, the communication stone that was contacting his strong subordinates vibrated.

The Time Tribe warrior perked up; it was a communication request from his superior.

A few days ago, this superior had already contacted him, so it shouldn’t have been an urgent matter.

If it was, it was likely related to the two powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Without any hesitation, he immediately ended the call with his subordinates and answered his superior’s communication.

“Immediately gather all Sentinels and head to Block 75, Sector 26 to participate in the blockade.”

“Is it possible that there is a sighting of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors?” the Time Tribe warrior asked excitedly.

“Exactly, hurry!”

His superior abruptly ended the call, clearly having more matters to attend to.

The Time Tribe warrior couldn’t contain his joy.

Finally, the opportunity had come.

Though the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors had been elusive and hadn’t appeared in his assigned sector, or even in his superior’s area, they had been located in the neighboring sector by the Sentinels.

He had ample time to take his Sentinels over to assist in the blockade and fortification.

Even though facing two level 220 strong fighters meant death for him and his Sentinels, just participating in the fortification and blockade would count as a significant accomplishment.

If they were lucky and the elders arrived in time to deal with the two powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and retrieve the powerful treasure, their contributions as defenders would be immense.

Taking a few deep breaths, he began contacting his strong subordinates to notify them to quickly gather all Sentinels and head to the neighboring Block 75, Sector 26.

Just as he was reaching out to his subordinates, Boses and Titan Bo sensed the faint Perception Ability swiftly fading away.

Yi Chen had already learned the details from the images and sounds transmitted by the Shadow King through his Perception Ability.

However, he did not inform the Shadow King to take action.

Because they couldn’t compete.

The Shadow King’s stealth techniques could not fully shield them from the perceptions of fighters at level 230.

Even with Boses and Titan Bo, they could at most ambush and defeat one level 230 strong fighter.

Once the positions of the two level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors were confirmed, the level 240 Time Tribe elders and the level 230 strong fighters would surely come rushing in.

If they joined the fray, the Shadow King’s stealth techniques would be entirely useless.

Even if they obtained the powerful treasure, escaping would still be a challenge.

The only hope for acquiring this treasure was to gamble, finding a less noticeable place to lie in wait for the treasure to come to them.

“Shadow King, inform Boses and Titan Bo to closely watch the movements around us. We will wait right here!”

Yi Chen gritted his teeth and told the Shadow King, then consumed one-tenth of the massive amount of fortune stored in his Qi Sea on himself.

When it came to gambling with fortune, he was quite skilled.
