Just like that, Su Yue went into battle with a large leaf wrapped around his waist, going in bare.

This large leaf was something Su Yue had prepared in advance, which he discreetly picked at the edge of the poisonous bee jungle a few days ago.

Because of this large leaf, Su Yue was stung by a poisonous bee, thankfully without life-threatening consequences.

The type of large leaf didn't really matter; the rainy environment was filled with jungles, uncategorized, with all tribes just gathering around randomly.

All preparations were in place. Aside from the large leaf, Su Yue's only possession was the Beast-Selecting Sinew on his arm.

It was normal to tie small accessories, even for the Yangxiang Race. Last time, when Su Yue snatched the Choice Beast Hide, some Yangxiang people had ropes bound on their arms, and the Beast-Selecting Sinew was one of them.

He continued walking for a few more minutes.

Finally, at the end of Su Yue's sight, there was a faint glimmer of light.

Yes.

That was the exit.

Of course, the light was still a dim haze; despite the sun in the rainy environment, it was always shrouded by clouds and didn't have strong light.

Getting closer and closer to the exit, at the critical moment, Su Yue slowed his pace, ready to conceal himself at any time.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be anyone in this tunnel.

But he couldn't be careless.

...

East Battle Dao.

With Jiao Qingyuan returning empty-handed, the atmosphere in Cangyuan Sixth Camp fell into a dead silence.

Nothing.

Jiao Qingyuan had explored down to a depth of a thousand meters but still didn't perceive any sign of living breath.

But in Wang Anhu's hands, Su Yue's life paper remained normal.

He's still alive.

"What are we going to do, where on earth did Su Yue go? We've searched several times but still haven't found any trace."

Jia Weisu paced back and forth anxiously.

"Everyone calm down. Since Su Yue's life paper is normal, he must still be alive.

"As long as he's alive, there's hope for rescue.

"How about this, the tribes just charged, they won't come to the mining field again soon, I'll wait by the cliff.

"In case Su Yue can climb up, I will rescue him immediately."

Jiao Qingyuan solemnly assigned tasks:

"The six of you shouldn't be idle either, monitor the outskirts of the poisonous bee jungle more often.

"What the boy said is right, Su Yue might be concealed in the poisonous bee jungle and just temporarily unable to come out.

"As long as the life paper remains unchanged, we shouldn't relax for even a day.

"On the chance Su Yue emerges from the poisonous bee jungle, you must rescue him immediately."

Jiao Qingyuan's orders were orderly.

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded.

Though it's as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack, since he's not dead, hope can't be abandoned.

Jiao Qingyuan's calmness also instilled a bit of faith in everyone.

"While searching for Su Yue, don't overlook your own injuries.

"The task of Cangyuan Sixth Camp is to guard the East Battle Dao. Since Su Yue isn't dead for now, don't be overly tense, avoid being ambushed by tribes due to exhaustion, which would be even more detrimental.

Jiao Qingyuan continued with a furrowed brow.

"Thank you, General, for your concern, what about your injury?"

Wang Anhu hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, it's an old issue, I'm used to it, will recover in a few days."

Jiao Qingyuan shook his head.

Although he appeared calm, people still saw deep anxiety and worry in his eyes.

"General, Su Yue and the others were about to be summoned back by West Martial, how do we explain this to West Martial?"

Jia Weisu asked once again.

"Conceal it.

"Before confirming Su Yue's death, keep his disappearance a secret for now.

"Others coming to East Battle Dao can't be of any help and instead might worry needlessly, there's no need for that, just say he's retreating at East Battle Dao."

Jiao Qingyuan thought for a moment and said.

This was the most advantageous plan for himself. Anyway, the plan would commence in about 20 days.

Keep it hidden.

Hide it one day at a time.

Better safe than sorry.

"This young man, are you Su Yue's classmate from West Martial?"

Jiao Qingyuan then inquired.

"Yes."

Bai Xiaolong nodded.

His eye sockets were sunken, and he was nearly driven mad with anxiety.

If Su Yue truly experiences any mishap, how would he explain it to West Martial, how to tell Mu Cheng?

However, Bai Xiaolong always felt in his heart that Su Yue must be hiding somewhere, and would definitely come back.

"Don't return to West Martial yet, stay at East Battle Dao and help find Su Yue. You're already Grade Five; the cold won't harm you.

"Originally, it wasn't advisable for Cangyuan Sixth Camp to have more Grade Five, but you broke through to Grade Five here, if you're careful, you probably won't trigger the poisonous bees' alert."

Jiao Qingyuan looked at Bai Xiaolong and said.

Theoretically, the East Battle Dao was only capable of having five Grade Five holders for defense.

Su Yue was Grade Two, too weak, his Qi Blood wouldn't trigger the poisonous bees.

Before Bai Xiaolong came, he was Grade Four, so there wasn't any danger.

Though he reached Grade Five, he did so at East Battle Dao, as long as he doesn't act out, it should still be safe.

But adding another Grade Four, it truly couldn't accommodate.

"Okay, thank you, General, I already had that thought."

Bai Xiaolong quickly nodded.

With Su Yue missing, he absolutely didn't want to return to West Martial.

Staying here, he could help look for Su Yue, at least get first-hand information on Su Yue.

After returning, he would no longer be eligible to go to East Battle Dao.

Regarding Su Yue's situation, he would be utterly clueless.

"Alright, let's leave it at that.

"You all head back to the barracks; the urgent matter is recovering from your injuries."

Jiao Qingyuan sighed and waved at them.

The six people left with heavy expressions.

Jiao Qingyuan toyed with the pneumatic nest stone in his hand, his gaze firmly fixed below the cliff.
