Chapter 643: Two-Day Disappearance, Marshal Wang’s Secrets! Part 3

In terms of loyalty, they would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the territory.

According to the rules they had agreed on, Marshal Wang or team members would have to send a message back to the territory for confirmation if they wanted to make changes to their traveling route or stumble upon anything suspicious.

However, the current situation proved that clearly something unexpected had happened!

The more he thought about it, the more enraged he became. The feeling of betrayal filled Feng Tianmin’s heart instantly.

“Tianmin, don’t be impatient and rush to conclusions yet. There might be something that we still haven’t discovered.

“The timeline isn’t enough to conclude that Marshal Wang had betrayed us.”

Su Mo had a thoughtful expression and remained calm inside.

Marshal Wang’s departure time was six days before the disaster struck.

The earliest time for the team to reach East Long Mountain should be the afternoon of the fifth day before the disaster, and the morning of the third day would be the latest based on the map Marshal Wang had drawn before, depending on the estimated traveling speed of the team.

Anything beyond this scale proved that the team encountered some delays on their journey.

“They arrived at the East Long Mountain two days before the disaster, which means that their journey was delayed by a day and a half because of something that happened on their way.

“A day and a half…”

Marshal Wang’s eloquence was incredible, but Liu Peiqiang, who was part of the team, was extremely loyal to the territory.

Liu Peiqiang would never stand by idly with such a long delay on their journey.

Unless…

“Marshal Wang already knew telegrams could not be sent out from the mountains?

“Or maybe he used some irrefutable reason to persuade everyone?”

There were too many possibilities.

Even Su Mo was unsure what could have happened to them without further information.

However, one thing was certain.

Marshal Wang was not as simple as he seemed.

He was a cunning fox that could convince anyone with nonsense.

‘He must’ve concealed some important information when he shared his story on Iron Stone Mountain!’

“You two are fortunate that you did not let Marshal Wang and the team into your territory. Otherwise, those mummified corpses would not be them you guys right now.

“I’ve got a hunch that the situation in the mountain may not be as peaceful as we imagined.

“Let’s go quickly before things change and get out of hand!”

The Liu brothers avoided a fatal disaster from falling upon the Cliff Territory because of their extreme cautiousness.

The Murderer Territory either plotted to backstab them or really wanted to make allies when they took in Marshal Wang’s party. In the end, they were brutally murdered instead.

There might be a chance for them to catch up if they followed Marshal Wang’s route and inquiry from the people on the way!

“Let’s go!”

They returned in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After learning that they luckily avoided a fatal disaster, the Liu brothers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and their hearts raced.

When they glanced toward Su Mo’s figure that they saw as their life-saving straw, they subconsciously followed after him in fear that they would be left behind.

They had only stayed in the cave for five minutes before returning to the station on Great King Mountain. This time their traveling speed was much faster than before.

The time was one-seventeen in the afternoon.

The four of them hastily returned to the Murderer Territory through the snow.

The mummified corpses had been buried under the snow after the soldiers’ two to three hours of constant effort.

The scattered resources in the cave were also categorized and wrapped in moisture-proof cloth so they could quickly bring them back to the territory on their journey back.

These were a group of strangers that they had never met before.

Su Mo walked toward the center of the burial site, took a wooden plaque, and scribbled it on it. He engraved a brief description and then marked the nameless tomb with a simple tombstone.

“Ha, human beings are born insignificant, and even our lives are fragile.

“In his barren mountain, in this freezing snow, I wonder how long will it take for another person to discover the tragedy that had happened here!”

Su Mo firmly stuck the wooden sign into the snow.

Afterward, he returned to the makeshift camp for lunch.

Before they departed, they took a final glance toward the Murderer Territory and set off on their journey with heavy hearts.

Compared to before, everyone was traveling much faster this time, and even the wind blowing was much softer.

The destination was the unknown gathering place they had initially planned to avoid at the beginning of their journey.

“The nearest camp is on the third mountain of Eight Peak Mountain?

“They have about five hundred people, right?

“Very well, we will have to reach there by tonight no matter what to find out the direction Marshal Wang is headed!”

After crossing the first Great King Mountain of Eight Peak Mountain, the second mountain was called Er Lang Mountain, and following after was the Three Dollar Mountain.

These two mountains were far more dangerous than the First Mountain they had climbed.

They gathered their hundred percent concentration as they continued their journey.

Their routes were mapped out by the scout robots and the Liu brothers, who navigated their way.

They left the Murderer Territory behind them, and everyone gradually recollected their thoughts and focused on the snowy surface under their feet.

Five in the evening.

The team had descended Great King Mountain and reached the foot of Er Lang Mountain.

Seven in the evening.

They arrived at the mountainside of Er Lang Mountain and took a short break before they continued to climb the mountain against the wind and snow.

Eleven at night.

They reached the peak of Er Lang Mountain.

Su Mo stopped moving as he saw the clear smoke and fire on Three Dollar Mountain and sighed in relief.
