Half an hour after Chu Tian left, a small, stealthy transport aircraft flew to the area.
The rear hatch opened, and about a dozen people wearing light power armor, well-equipped with weapons, slid down from the cabin using ropes.
After landing, they checked the bodies on the ground.
The leader then pressed a button next to his helmet, revealing his face.
His tough and handsome face bore a scar stretching from the forehead to the left cheek, obviously left by a fierce beast.
The man looked at the almost unrecognizable viper, then said, "This is the viper from the Clinton family. It seems Chu Tian's methods are not simple, but it also shows the flaws in the Federation's talent registration method."
"Captain Lin Xia, this person with a broken chest should be Liu Wei from the third mercenary base, right?" a team member asked.
Lin Xia, with the beast scar, walked over, looked at Liu Wei's corpse, and said, "Yes! Martial arts. If I remember correctly, Chu Tian's latest update showed his level as only B-class, right?"
"Captain, such a powerful traitor to humanity should be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's a huge threat to humanity. Think about the four ghost markets in the Huaxia area. Among the four founders, apart from one established by the Federation, the other three are all traitors to humanity, and the Federation has allowed them to exist for two to three hundred years." The team members obviously viewed betrayal of humanity as a disgrace and threat.
Lin Xia shook his head and said, "Forget it, you are still too young and don't understand many things."
After speaking, Lin Xia looked at a nearby area and walked over, quickly noticing many strange traces on the ground. He then quickly examined the surroundings and found that these holes in the ground were all very regular.
After examining these, Lin Xia took out his communicator, recorded all the strange holes he saw, and then opened the holographic view to examine his findings.
After a while, Lin Xia finally spoke, "It's a formation, and an ancient one at that. It seems Chu Tian's background is not simple."
"How so?" a team member asked.
Lin Xia smiled and said, "You know, many people say that Chu Tian is the prospective son-in-law of the Skexen family."
"Heh, it's just a rumor," the team member commented.
"Alright, let's go. The person who reported this is now dead, and we can only look for other opportunities. Actually, I would like to have a chat with him." Lin Xia said and walked forward a few steps, leaped, and jumped onto the hovering transport aircraft.
The other team members quickly grabbed the ropes and were pulled back into the aircraft by the thrusters.
With a deafening roar, they left the industrial area.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian arrived at a relatively open villa area and found a relatively intact villa.
After setting up some alarms, Chu Tian settled in.
He had very little spiritual energy left in his body and hid in the attic of the villa. He took out a Level 1 Spiritual Energy Crystal and began practicing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sole Exalted Art, replenishing his depleted spiritual energy.
After fully absorbing more than a hundred Spiritual Energy Crystals, Chu Tian's spiritual energy was significantly restored. He then took out a large handful of Level 1 Spiritual Energy Crystals and continued his practice.
When the sun rose from the sea level the next day, Chu Tian opened his eyes. His spiritual energy had returned to its peak, and even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sole Exalted Art had slightly improved.
"It seems I need to change my face to level up in the Death Shore."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Tian's face gradually changed, and even his bones started to crackle.
In just a few tens of seconds, Chu Tian transformed into the appearance of an Emperor Whale.
...
After slaying a goblin leader with one shot and disassembling it, he calculated that his four attributes had each increased by about ten points in a day.
Looking around, Chu Tian took out his communicator to check his map, then flew towards a forest beyond the Death Shore.
The forest had many high-level fierce beasts, which were not a fear for Chu Tian as long as they were not the extremely terrifying S-class talents.
The forest was near an airport highway. Thinking of the highway, Chu Tian wanted to check on Norta and the others' recent situation.
Passing the highway, Chu Tian glanced at the gas station that Norta and others used as a base.
It had been completely destroyed.
As for Norta and the others, there was no knowing where they went.
Seeing this, Chu Tian hurriedly flew towards the airport, as he had been away from the team for about a month.
Arriving at the destroyed airport, Chu Tian saw a temporary base outline with about five meters of steel walls encircling the entire airport area
