The lingering effects of the sandstorm are still raging.

After the five high-level ferocious beasts were eliminated, the remaining beasts quickly disappeared into the sandstorm.

Wu Yingguang also placed a protective force field device on the outer edge of the watchtower fortress. As the energy shield rapidly expanded, it eventually transformed into a huge semi-transparent barrier, firmly blocking the howling sandstorm outside the barrier.

At this moment, Su Wan and Chen Feng, who had arrived at the top of the fortress, looked down at the protective cabin.

The boy, huddled inside the protective pod, didn't have any obvious injuries from the beast's attack. However, he was still terrified, clutching his tactical backpack tightly...

"Little friend, don't be afraid. We're from the Red Fox Squad. You know we're here to rescue you, right?"

Su Wan's voice was extremely soft, like a spring breeze, dispelling the boy's trembling.

"You...you guys are really from the Red Fox Squad?"

"Yes, I'm not kidding." Su Wan smiled, then winked at Zhao Ye. "Come on, let me get someone to get rid of these potentially dangerous metal lumps for you!"

Zhao Ye rolled his eyes at Su Wan, then walked helplessly to the top of the protective cabin.

"What a bossy older sister..."

"Shut up and get to work."

......

The little boy being protected by the outpost commander is named Karl.

Aside from the outpost commander, Karl had no other relatives in this world, and the outpost commander was merely his adoptive father.

"What data was retrieved?"

Su Wan tilted her head as she read through the data disks one by one on the smart terminal, her hands flying across the screen.

Chen Feng stood beside her, his gaze also fixed on the screen where data was constantly scrolling.

No one dares to underestimate these materials, because they are military intelligence collected by the human elite over a long period of time, and ultimately obtained at the cost of their lives.

It may hold the secret of rampant monsters, or it may hold an even more terrifying truth...

Just then, Su Wan's fingertips suddenly stopped, her originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Most of the data is just the outpost's daily patrol records and routine monitoring data of the beasts' activities, nothing special... but there seems to be something in this encrypted folder."

Su Wan reached out and opened an encrypted folder.

With a few quick taps on the decryption interface, the encrypted folder opened, revealing three documents labeled "Outpost Confidential" on the screen.

The icon also features a strange beast symbol, completely different from other regular data files.

"A discovery?" Chen Feng took a step closer, his gaze fixed on the screen.

Su Wan lightly tapped the first document with her fingertip, and the screen instantly switched to a clear image.

It was a blood-red gem, with giant beast-like patterns covering its surface.

However, this strange, blood-red gemstone made Chen Feng pause in surprise.

"The Mark of the Blood Beast?"

"Chen Feng, do you know about this?" Zhao Ye asked.

At this moment, Karl, whose emotions had calmed down slightly, was also attracted by the commotion.

She moved slowly to Chen Feng's side, clutching his clothes tightly, her little face filled with curiosity and fear.

"When I was still at the Battle Academy, I did find a similar mark, but that Blood Beast mark was only one-third the size of this one."

Chen Feng explained.

"At the time, the academy's instructors said that the Blood Beast Mark was a 'coordinate marker' for the super-beasts to teleport in space. Once the number of super-beast marks in the main plane world reached a certain amount, the hyperspace teleportation channel would be activated."

Wu Yingguang frowned and immediately gave Su Wan an order: "Translate the behemoth script immediately and find out the number of this mark."

Su Wan nodded slightly, her fingertips quickly sweeping across the screen, precisely selecting all the giant beast patterns on the blood-red gem.

Then, I opened the built-in behemoth language translation program on the smart brain, and dense code instantly popped up on the screen, starting to scroll and analyze at high speed.

A few seconds later, the scrolling translation map gradually came to a standstill.

And a line of clear human-readable text appeared in the center of the screen...

The moment they saw that line of text, the expressions of all the Red Fox members became even more solemn.

[The Blood Raven Coordinates are located in the Gobi Desert, 15 kilometers west of the Beast's Eye, at Summoning Pillar Number Nine (Thirteen)]

Wu Yingguang immediately put this message into his AI brain.

"It really is the mark of a colossal beast. No wonder the five high-level ferocious beasts suddenly attacked the outpost. They must have been ordered to destroy this intelligence."

Su Wan frowned and said.

"According to the records left by the outpost commander, this mark was discovered two days ago by a reconnaissance robot 53 kilometers east of the outpost. At that time, the robot even detected extremely strong energy fluctuations, which means that the reconnaissance robot's trail was discovered."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye, who had been completely confused, finally nodded.

"That's why the outpost commander sent us an emergency signal and made a point of protecting Karl until the very last moment. He probably anticipated that the monster attack would not be just a simple harassment."

When Karl heard the words "outpost commander," his shoulders immediately trembled slightly.

The boy's eyes instantly reddened, but he held back his tears.

Chen Feng noticed Karl's mood, so he freed one hand to gently rub Karl's brown hair and patted Karl's shoulder.

"Karl, don't be afraid, we will protect you."

Just then, Su Wan cautiously opened the second encrypted file in the folder...

Unlike the document containing the mark of the colossal beast, this encrypted document contains a great deal of more detailed information.

The first thing that popped up on the screen was a table labeled "Eye of the Beast Energy Monitoring Log".

This was followed by several paragraphs of textual analysis from the analysts.

"This is a summary of the outpost's energy monitoring over the past month, highlighting the abnormal fluctuations in the monitored Eye of the Beast area."

Su Wan's fingertip paused on the screen, her tone even more serious than before.

"According to the monitoring data, the earliest fluctuation of demonic energy occurred a month ago. The intensity was weak, and the monitoring personnel thought it was an instrument malfunction and did not record it. However, starting ten days ago, this fluctuation became more and more frequent, occurring at least three times a day, and the energy intensity increased exponentially."

Su Wan tapped the diagram, and the screen instantly zoomed in.

The dark purple undulating curve rises and falls steeply, with its peak almost breaking through the boundary of the graph.

"Look, the frequency characteristics of this energy fluctuation do not match the activity energy of the strange beasts and colossal beasts we are familiar with, but they are highly consistent with the combat energy characteristics of demons."

Wu Yingguang immediately leaned over and stared at the log on the screen, his tone as heavy as dark clouds: "Where exactly is it?"

Su Wan swiped the screen and brought up another record.

"The last peak fluctuation detected early this morning was less than 30 kilometers away from us, and that area... happens to be the outer region of the Eye of the Beast."

"Alright, let's head back to the fighter jets right away."

Wu Yingguang issued the order.

"In addition, Su Wan immediately backed up all the data and reported the backup to the base."
