Fang Heng watched as the members of the psychic team prepared to evacuate and asked, "Captain Shi, is the operation ending here?"
"Yeah."
Shi Yanwu nodded and said, "The purpose of training the team has been achieved. Moreover, this was just a probing action against the tree spirit tribe. We've obtained some clues, and after returning, the Federation will launch a detailed investigation into the white frost ore. I believe we'll discover something soon."
On the other side of the communicator, Minister Ray's voice came, "Dr. Fang, if the ore is crucial to the tree spirit tribe, they may return after getting wind of our investigation. This could lead to a large-scale conflict. It's not safe here. I'll have the psychic team escort you back to the research institute."
"No hurry, Minister Ray. I think it's a bit slow to go back and investigate. The tree spirit tribe that fled into the primeval forest hasn't gone far. I suggest a deeper investigation."
