Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15467 Scout

Everyone nodded again. This time, the trap set by the enemy did indeed have significant flaws, and they had to learn from this lesson. Then, another person spoke up, "However, to be fair, their final escape method was quite good. Now we're facing all our fellow disciples, so losing and running away isn't a big deal. They scattered and fled, thus preserving most of their strength. So this method is quite effective. If our formation is ever breached in the future, we can also use this method to retreat and then simply return to the base to regroup."

Although his words weren't very pleasant, everyone nodded in agreement, and then no one spoke. Gu Wuzheng looked at everyone and then asked, "What, is there nothing to add?"

No one spoke. Gu Wuzheng was about to speak when Shi Jie said, "Captain, I have an idea."

Gu Wuzheng looked at Shi Jie and said, "Alright, then tell me, what are your thoughts? Go ahead and say it."

Shi Jie nodded and then said, "Yes, Captain, this is what I'm thinking. This time, the enemy won't stay at their original base using the teleportation array. That means they might have another rendezvous point, or even another base. If that's the case, why don't we do the same? We can set up two bases. We can use this base as a base and then set up a backup base. If our base is attacked, we can go to the backup base first. If we are defeated, we can also set up another base. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Shi Jie's words, Gu Wuzheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, this is a good idea. If we create another base, having two bases will make our operations much more convenient."

Everyone nodded, and then Gu Wuzheng spoke up: "So, everyone, tell me, where should we build our second base? Do you have any ideas?" Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke. They had only been in the desert for a short time, so how could they have any ideas? They hadn't even figured out the surrounding terrain yet.

Shi Jie then spoke up again, "Captain, what do you think about building our second base right below the enemy's Tongtian Vine base from today? That way, even if someone sees that base, they won't suspect there's another base underneath it. Because today's base was obviously abandoned, so they won't suspect anything. It's like the darkest place is under the lamp. Anyway, we won't use our second base normally, just leave a surveillance sphere. That way, even if someone discovers that base, they'll only think it's an abandoned base and won't suspect anything."

Gu Wuzheng nodded in agreement with Shi Jie’s words, saying, “That’s right, very good. Okay, let’s do it that way. We’ll go back to the Tongtian Vine base later and build another base below it.”

Everyone responded in unison. Gu Wuzheng continued, "This time, we must be even more careful in our operation. We don't know where another group of enemies might appear from, so we must remain vigilant at all times. Don't forget, we have many enemies. Any carelessness could lead us to utter ruin."

Everyone responded, and Gu Wuzheng said, "Alright, go back and rest for a while, then we'll go to the Tongtian Vine base." Everyone agreed, and then they began their journey.

After they returned, they immediately began to rest and adjust their condition. Three hours passed quickly, and Gu Wuzheng once again gathered everyone together. By this time, it was already dark outside, and the temperature in the desert had dropped sharply. It was already quite cold outside.

Gu Wuzheng led the group to the Tongtian Vine base once again. They maintained a neat formation and used illusion arrays and defensive arrays, making it impossible for the enemy to detect them. Even if the enemy did detect them and attack, the defensive arrays would hold them off, allowing them to react in time. It could be said that they had achieved the highest level of defense.

After arriving at the Tongtian Vine base, Gu Wuzheng first sent a few people down to scout the situation. Confirming that the previous group had left, they then entered the area beneath the Tongtian Vine base. There, they used magic to construct another base. After completing the base, they left some radar spheres before returning to their own base. Once back, Gu Wuzheng instructed everyone to rest. They planned to rest for a day before venturing out to search for the enemy. They couldn't stay at the base indefinitely; they needed to take the initiative. After several hours of rest, once everyone's energy was fully restored, Gu Wuzheng sent out scouts again. They couldn't send out a large army to search for the enemy; that would be too unpredictable. Sending out scouts to investigate the surrounding area first, and once they found the enemy and assessed their strength, they could then launch a full-scale attack without any problems.

Among the scouts this time was Shi Jie's team. They did a good job as scouts last time, so they were selected again this time. After leaving the base, Shi Jie and his team chose a direction and flew straight ahead. However, they also used illusion arrays, defensive arrays, and barrier arrays. The barrier array was designed to prevent others from detecting them through energy fluctuations. This barrier array works best when used in conjunction with the illusion array. If they only used the illusion array, the Blood Slaughter Sect's radar could still detect their tracks through the radar on their bodies.

Of course, this doesn't mean that using a barrier array completely prevents others from detecting them. That's not the case. Even with a barrier array, as long as other detection arrays are added to the radar, they can still be detected. However, under normal circumstances, no one would add other detection arrays to the radar, as it's too troublesome and generally unnecessary.

Shi Jie and his group flew forward. Their formation also included a radar array, which could see everything within a two-thousand-mile radius. To prevent the enemy from using a barrier array as well, they added other detection arrays to the radar. This way, even if the enemy used a barrier array, Shi Jie and his group could still detect them.

Shi Jie and his team were already being extremely cautious. Their approach was consistent with that of the Blood Slaughter Sect, as they prioritized caution above all else, preferring to forgo any achievements rather than put themselves in danger.

Shi Jie and his group flew forward for about five hours, and it was getting dark. Shi Jie looked around and then pointed to a sandy area and said, "Let's go there to rest and build a temporary base. Anyway, we're not going back that day since we're here to scout. Let's build a temporary base here, get a good night's rest, and continue our operation yesterday."

Of course, no one objected. They landed directly on the sandy ground and then used earth magic to enter the underground. After descending about twenty feet underground, they began to build a temporary base. This temporary base was very simple; they simply created a space underground and sat down to rest.

However, for safety reasons, Shi Jie still set up a barrier array and radar at the base. He also allowed everyone to take turns resting. He divided everyone into two teams of fifty people each. Each team would keep watch for two hours. After four hours, they would have rested enough to continue their reconnaissance, so the others could rest without worry.

Shi Jie was in the second shift of night watchmen, so he could have rested well during the first half of the night. However, he had only rested for an hour when he was suddenly woken up. Shi Jie immediately opened his eyes and looked at the person who called him. The person who called him was the deputy squad leader of their squad, named Ge Yu. As soon as Ge Yu saw that Shi Jie was awake, he immediately said, "Captain, there's movement."

Shi Jie was taken aback, then immediately turned to look at the radar. There was a projection on the radar, and on that projection, he saw some red dots approaching their direction. As soon as he saw those red dots, Shi Jie knew that they definitely weren't from their team. Their team members should all appear as green dots on the radar, but now they were showing as red dots. He immediately stood up, walked to the radar, and said, "Wake everyone up and be prepared to retreat at any time."

Ge Yu responded and immediately woke up everyone else. Everyone tensed up, while Shi Jie stared motionlessly at the red dots. He had just counted them, and there were exactly one hundred red dots, which meant there were exactly one hundred people. This should be a scout team from another team. However, this scout team was quite dedicated, operating even at night.

Shi Jie's current worry was that the scout team would attack them directly. If the scout team discovered them and attacked immediately, they would use the teleportation array to leave immediately. He wanted to see whether they would leave or attack. The others clearly understood Shi Jie's thoughts, and they all watched the team nervously. The team got closer and closer, soon reaching directly above them, and then left. As soon as they saw the team leave, Shi Jie couldn't help but feel a chill. He said in a low voice, "Looks like it's another team's scout squad. But they're really going all out, still operating so late at night. Everyone, go back to rest." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, preparing to go rest, but suddenly they noticed a new change on the radar projection. Countless red dots appeared on the projection again. This discovery startled Shi Jie. He looked at the radar projection in surprise, wondering what was going on and why so many red dots had appeared on the radar again.
