With the continued exploration and progress made by the members of the Star Network, Long Chen, who had been monitoring them closely, initiated his expansion strategy.
The explored areas had been fully mapped, with no signs of foreign forces guarding them. Nodes were placed directly in these locations, rapidly forming a spiderweb-like network.
As a result, the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone lit up entirely within Long Chen's field of vision, allowing him to access any information he desired.
After careful examination, Long Chen found no trace of the Rakshasa. Yet, it was clear that such a population could not be so small or so weak.
There was only one possibility:
The enemy had detected activity on their side and had concentrated their forces elsewhere.
Still, Long Chen remained unfazed by the possibility of an ambush, as the souls collected within the Star Network contained an immense trove of information.
