The loss of two key forces means this mission can already be declared a failure.
The scene of the two men's deaths was clearly transmitted by the devices worn on their chests to the rear of Dakun City.
Within the Qin Army command center.
The entire conference room was silent, the atmosphere heavy.
Staring at the two screens that abruptly went blank, the officers present all wore grim expressions, hatred boiling in their hearts.
The Dakun Military District had suffered multiple setbacks at the hands of this Thunder Tiger... this Thunder Tiger could be considered a major threat to the Qin Army now!
After a brief silence, the military commander looked around and ordered coldly, "Our objective has been discovered by Thunder Tiger. This mission is impossible to complete. Let the others retreat quickly!"
"Yes!"
As the order was given, the other extraordinaries waiting anxiously in the distance suddenly panicked and fled towards the outskirts of Changbai Mountain.
Having dealt with the minor trouble, Jiang Che suddenly looked up at the sky, his gaze flickering.
At this moment, several drones were hovering in the air, recording everything below.
"The Bodhi Holy Tree has attracted human attention; I'll have to be careful from now on."
Jiang Che's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and with a slight opening of the tiger's mouth, a purple light flickered, spitting out a bolt of lightning.
Rumble!
The lightning shot into the sky, its brilliance dazzling, quickly splitting into several paths that spanned across the sky, precisely destroying the drones.
Immediately following, the live broadcast feed at the Dakun City command center was suddenly disconnected.
"In the future, humans must not be allowed to know the situation inside Changbai Mountain!"
Staring at the drone wreckage falling into the valley, turned to pieces, Jiang Che thought to himself.
This time, humans were able to find this place probably because of those drones.
With drones, humans could get a clear view of the inside of Changbai Mountain, not only exposing the Bodhi Holy Tree, but he and Nangong Luo too were exposed to human sight.
He did not want to live under human surveillance forever, so he made a silent decision that from now on, whenever a human drone arrives, he would destroy it.
"Big brother, how did you know these bionic drones were problematic?"
Nangong Luo, standing behind, was full of surprise.
These military drones used highly advanced bionic technology, making them virtually indistinguishable from ordinary birds when flying in the air.
It was only with careful observation that one might discover a slight discordance in their movements.
She could recognize these bionic drones because she used to be human in a previous life and had some understanding.
But how could her big brother, a tiger, also notice something amiss?
How strange!
Jiang Che didn't notice Nangong Luo's surprise, turning around, he slowly walked to his sleeping spot, lay down, and closed his eyes to enter a resting state.
Since the trouble was all resolved, why not sleep?
...
In Dakun City
In the meeting room, filled with officers, they were holding a video call with Dean Lin in the Imperial Capital.
"Dean Lin, we've let you down, we failed!"
The military commander's expression was gloomy as he spoke to Dean Lin in a deep voice.
"This Thunder Tiger's strength surpasses the norm, it wasn't something you could handle, so the failure was within expectations."
Dean Lin sighed. He had already seen the outcome from the video sent over.
The Dakun Military District had tried their best in this operation.
They had no chance against Thunder Tiger to begin with, and attempting to destroy that Treasure Tree right under its nose was incredibly difficult!
For this, the Dakun City Qin Army had lost two innately transcendental extraordinaires with great potential, a massive loss.
Dean Lin felt troubled.
Until now, quite a number of the Great Qin Empire's human extraordinaries had perished at the hands of this Thunder Tiger.
In his perspective, relying on the power of just one city, one locale, was hardly enough to eliminate this beast now.
It would take a considerable effort, mobilizing the forces of several surrounding cities, even a whole province, to encircle and annihilate it.
However, in every place, most of the military strength was currently tied up with the beast waves; it was impossible to abandon the purge of beasts within their jurisdictions to go to Changbai Mountain.
Not even Dean Lin could deny that right now, he had no way to deal with this Thunder Tiger.
Yet, if not dealt with promptly, and this beast continues to occupy that Treasure Tree, it might become even harder to deal with in the future, with a greater cost to be paid!
"Dean Lin, regarding this Thunder Tiger, what does the leadership plan? We can't just…"
The military commander furrowed his brows, asking somewhat worriedly.
Currently, it's fine with the Thunder Tiger staying behaved within Changbai Mountain, but no one knew when it might suddenly come out!
If it launched a surprise attack on the city, the Qin Army would be in a tough situation then.
"For now, let it stay in Changbai Mountain! When the opportunity is ripe, the leadership will mobilize surrounding forces to encircle and eliminate it…"
Dean Lin pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
There was no choice, the Thunder Tiger couldn't be moved now; they could only let it live a bit longer.
"Isn't there any other way?"
The military commander was somewhat reluctant, as this Thunder Tiger had caused Dakun City to lose a lot of power.
Could it just roam free like this?
Dean Lin remained silent, feeling heavy-hearted.
"Actually, we don't have to act directly; we can employ other forces."
"This Thunder Tiger is so powerful, if we could attract other strong beasts to Changbai Mountain, with the attraction of that Treasure Tree, they would inevitably fight endlessly, perhaps letting us reap the benefits?"
In the quietly silent meeting room, someone spoke up, suggesting.
"This strategy... weren't the previous Giant Pangolin and other beasts powerful? Yet they were still no match for the Thunder Tiger, how could this be?"
An officer shook his head, sighing.
Clearly, he wasn't optimistic about this plan.
After continuous setbacks, many in the Qin Army had already lost confidence in facing Thunder Tiger.
"That's right, the plan sounds simple, but implementing it requires finding a beast with a strength similar to the Thunder Tiger."
"In my opinion, it's very challenging!"
Another officer spoke, sharing his analysis.
"Other strong beasts?"
Dean Lin's face changed slightly as he heard this, a light flickered in his mind.
He thought of the Black Demon Tiger!
This Black Demon Tiger, in the known data, is considered the most formidable beast next to Thunder Tiger.
While being extremely powerful, it seemingly holds a grudge against Thunder Tiger.
Judging from the battle at Wulong Mountain, this Black Demon Tiger had grown even more powerful, showcasing some strange tactics, such as ferocious blood worms and blood-colored bone spears.
If they could lure the Black Demon Tiger to Changbai Mountain…although the Black Demon Tiger might not overcome Thunder Tiger, the two tigers might fight, with a significant chance of Thunder Tiger getting injured!
At that point, it would be the Qin Army's chance to strike!
"This strategy is feasible, but indeed requires first finding a suitable beast!"
Dean Lin felt a spark of hope, smiling and nodding as he looked at everyone, "I do have a suggestion—how about the Black Demon Tiger?"
"Black Demon Tiger?"
"Oh right, the Black Demon Tiger!"
"..."
The officers were somewhat startled, but they also recalled it.
