Chapter Summary
There were some traces of fighting on the ground, but after the beasts rampaged through the area, those traces were almost completely invisible. Just as Liu Ning was about to say something else, it suddenly started to rain. Even without these ferocious beasts, they probably wouldn't have gotten any information from this heavy rain alone.
Liu Ning quickly returned with a large group of ferocious beasts. Then, Liu Ning devised a plan and disappeared. These beasts were extremely hostile to each other and began to fight fiercely. There were some traces of fighting on the ground, but after the beasts rampaged through the area, those traces were almost completely invisible. They didn't care about that; as long as they didn't become food for each other, that was enough. The beasts were usually quite fierce in their battles; it all depended on whether you could hold your own.
Just as Liu Ning was about to say something else, it suddenly started to rain. This was truly a stroke of luck, as heavy rain in the wild would wipe away all traces on the ground.
Even without these ferocious beasts, they probably wouldn't have gotten any information from this heavy rain alone. Moreover, there were other footprints on the ground, all left by the beasts. If you have the ability to identify them, you might be able to find something, but if you don't, you can only accept it. The rain was quite heavy; it was the heaviest rain Liu Ning had experienced since his rebirth. Although they suffered quite a bit from the rain, the presence of the RV allowed them to lie inside and quietly listen to the rain. The beasts didn't have such good treatment; they had to temporarily stop their fighting and find shelter from the downpour.
"This heavy rain is a real lifesaver. I don't think we need to look for anywhere else. We can just continue training here. Anyway, all traces on the ground have disappeared. If I'm not mistaken, they can find this place through some communication devices. I know your communication devices are fine, but my men all use ordinary communication devices. They must have sent messages beforehand, especially our transfer messages. They should be able to find them. Let's just wait here. After all, a heavy rain has wiped out all traces. I really don't believe they'll pin this on us."
After discussing it briefly, the two immediately knew what to do. They would continue training there. If the Shangguan family asked, they would say that they had been surrounding Devil County and had only just arrived, so they knew nothing about their young master. If they didn't believe them, they could investigate. However, Liu Ning and Lin Lei were people of status, and they could answer a few questions here. But if they wanted to take him away, they would have to see if they had enough strength. If they didn't, they shouldn't talk nonsense here.
“You’re both right, but in my opinion, we should change locations and try to avoid any connection with this place. After all, this is the primary crime scene. We just need to fight our way through other parts of Devil County for a while, and then slowly move here. This good place will still be ours. They’re just conducting an investigation here; they’re unlikely to force the situation here onto us. If we’re still here, they’ll naturally make a series of connections. After all, Shangguan Bao’s team is quite strong. Besides our team, probably only the ferocious beasts could handle it.”
Zhang Daxue, having spent considerable time in the wilderness and possessing a good understanding of its conditions, knew that even if you didn't want to be involved, appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time would quickly lead people to make connections. Lin Lei nodded in agreement. He had initially thought Liu Ning's men were ordinary people, but their suggestion had given him the clues. The others shared the same thought; while they didn't want to change locations, they absolutely didn't want to get involved with the Shangguan family. Liu Ning realized that these people were just like him back then, and the Shangguan family was like the Xue family. It was the same as when he had killed the Xue family's direct descendant; no one wanted anything serious to happen.
But Liu Ning and Lin Lei had a completely different mindset. They were now in a superior position. Even if the Shangguan family wanted to cause trouble, they could just apply for jobs with them. Did they really dare to confront them about this? They didn't have any solid evidence. If they really wanted to slander them, this wouldn't end so easily. Did they really think the Mage Guild was made of paper?
These people acted immediately. Before it got completely dark, they left the area. They also disguised their original campsite by cutting down two large trees. With the trees down, everything would be buried there. It would be impossible to find anything else from there. There were countless large trees lying in the wild. If they had to move and search every single one of them, they would probably be searching until next year's New Year, and they might not find anything by then.
At this moment, Liu Ning and his group were 15 kilometers away from their original location. Although the place they found wasn't great, it was still acceptable. Early the next morning, Liu Ning sent Gao Yuan to scout ahead. It turned out that they had indeed come, and some people were currently investigating the area. However, they didn't find Liu Ning. Fortunately, they left, otherwise Liu Ning and his group would have been driven crazy by these people. They would have thought that Liu Ning and his group were the first witnesses, or even the murderers. If they were entangled with these people, they wouldn't have been able to get away.
After working here all morning, it's clear that this place is vastly different from where they went before. If forced to continue hunting here, few would be willing, including Liu Ning and Lin Lei. There's practically no cover around, and the supply is far too small, especially for warrior-level beasts. Everyone who came this morning was a warrior-level beast. Liu Ning and Lin Lei have already reached that level; would they really be willing to hunt such ferocious beasts? They're simply not worth selling. Therefore, they urgently need to return to their original location. The ancient ruins are about to open, and if they haven't properly trained themselves, they won't feel confident going in. So, Liu Ning and the others held a meeting to discuss their options.
