Chapter 141: Zhao Jie's Analysis

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Meeting Zhao Jie's gaze, a surge of anger rose within Chu Tingzhong. Was he really being looked down upon by a wet-behind-the-ears kid? He spread his hands, attempting to find a sense of validation among the crowd.

To his disappointment, apart from his own team members, not a single person echoed his sentiment.

"How could this possibly be a coincidence? The safety of the main base has always been of the utmost importance. Although the beast tide rioting caused us to dispatch a large number of personnel externally, the vicinity of the main base has always been under constant patrol."

"Yet right now, several Sovereign-level Digital Beasts have appeared near the main base. Old Chu, use your head and think carefully. Isn't the timing of these Sovereign-level Digital Beasts appearing a bit too coincidental? Furthermore, they appeared all at once. There is definitely something wrong here."

Weng Gong said to the Chu Tingzhong in front of him with a heartbroken expression.

He knew Old Chu well; the man was very impulsive, often acting on his first impulse with a hot head, but at heart, he was not a bad person.

"This..."

Calming down and thinking it over, Chu Tingzhong realized it really was just as Weng Gong said. Normally, any powerful Digital Beasts approaching the main base would be driven away by them.

Yet this time, they had managed to slip right up to the doorstep of the main base. It was indeed rather abnormal.

"Then what do you suppose we should do?"

Although he realized he was in the wrong, Chu Tingzhong still found it hard to swallow his pride. He let out a cold snort and looked at Zhao Jie with a somewhat disgruntled expression.

Hearing this, Weng Gong and the others also turned their gazes toward Zhao Jie.

"Ahem, if we track down the mastermind behind the scenes, we might just be able to turn the tide of battle!"

With a soft cough, Zhao Jie looked at the assembled crowd and continued.

"You might not know this, but Uncle Weng's team and I were ambushed along the way. The ones who attacked us were members of an organization called Truth."

The Truth Organization?

Chu Tingzhong and the others furrowed their brows upon hearing this. They had never even heard of this so-called organization.

"It's true! Xiao Zhi died at their hands!"

Meeting the scrutinizing gazes of Chu Tingzhong and the others, Weng Gong nodded and gestured toward the person beside him.

No wonder they were missing a man!

Dawning comprehension washed over the crowd, and they no longer doubted the truth of Zhao Jie's words.

"I believe that the Digital Beasts attacking the main base this time are also being driven by members of the Truth Organization. They are the masterminds behind this operation. If we can root them out, we might just be able to influence the battlefield!"

Despite saying this, Zhao Jie himself did not harbor much certainty. He had no idea how the Truth Organization managed to control these Digital Beasts.

Even so, for the slightest glimmer of a possibility, he leaned toward flushing out the members of the Truth Organization first.

"That may be so, but we don't even know where the members of this Truth Organization are. This is a super-large-scale mystic realm—how are we supposed to find them?"

Nie Yishan frowned. Even if everything the young man in front of them said was correct, trying to locate the so-called Truth Organization members throughout the entire super-large-scale mystic realm was nothing short of finding a needle in a haystack.

"Indeed, we haven't the slightest idea of their whereabouts."

Weng Gong chimed in agreement.

"Such a wonderful show—did you really think they wouldn't watch?"

Hearing their predicament, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Jie's lips as he looked at them and posed a rhetorical question.

"You mean to say they are right around here?!"

Nie Yishan abruptly raised his head, sweeping his gaze across the surrounding area.

That's right!

If I were a member of the so-called Truth Organization, I would definitely stay behind to watch.

"Even if they want to leave, they cannot do so in a flash. When they came here, they must have sneaked in cautiously all the way."

At this point, Zhao Jie paused.

He suddenly thought of the two deceased Truth Organization members. What were those two doing lurking in the Western Sector Three?

Now, the answer seemed to have surfaced.

If the personnel within the main base learned that Sovereign-level Perfect bodies were steadily advancing toward the base, wouldn't they have to dispatch forces to suppress them?

If that happened, the defensive capabilities of the main base would undoubtedly be further weakened.

Coupled with these few Digital Beasts, they could probably destroy the main base in an instant, and perhaps even advance further to wreak havoc in the human world.

Thinking of how above this super-large-scale mystic realm lay Sha City, a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, once Sovereign-level Perfect-stage Digital Beasts appeared within the city...

The resulting impact would likely not only shock Huaxia, but reverberate through the entire world.

This was a meticulously planned scheme!

"Was the plan triggered ahead of schedule because we wiped out those two members?"

Muttering inwardly to himself, Zhao Jie cast his gaze toward the direction of the main base.

At this moment, those Digital Beasts had already pushed right up to the base, and many buildings had already been reduced to ruins.

"In that case, the terrain that offers a clear view of the main base's situation must be the vantage point they chose to settle in, because they need to observe the movement of personnel in and out of the entire base."

"Furthermore, there must be a place suitable for concealing Digital Beasts. After all, the sizes of these Digital Beasts are not small! Hiding them imposes certain demands on the terrain."

Zhao Jie said to the crowd with an air of absolute certainty.

He had already deduced the locations where Truth Organization members were likely to be, but the specific spot still depended on everyone else's judgment.

After all, he had not been in this mystic realm for very long.

The crowd furrowed their brows in deep thought, desperately trying to recall the surrounding environment.

"If we're talking about a location that offers a clear view of the main base, I actually know of one!"

Chu Tingzhong, who had remained silent for a long time, looked at Zhao Jie and spoke.

"Where?"

Everyone turned their gazes toward Chu Tingzhong, waiting for him to elaborate.

"Three kilometers to the left, there is a peak with an expansive field of vision. From there, one can clearly see the panoramic view of our main base. Moreover, there is a long, narrow canyon nearby, which is also suitable for concealing Digital Beasts. It fits every single condition this kid just mentioned!"

Without intending to keep them in suspense, Chu Tingzhong rapidly spat out the information he knew.

"There's no time to lose. Old Chu, take the lead, and let's head over there quickly!"

Having listened to Chu Tingzhong's words, Weng Gong glanced at Zhao Jie. Seeing Zhao Jie give a slight nod, he took it upon himself to issue orders on behalf of the group.

Among them all, he was the most suitable person to give commands. If Zhao Jie were to take charge, the other two teams hadn't witnessed Zhao Jie's strength yet and likely wouldn't be very willing to follow his lead.

"Alright!"

Chu Tingzhong agreed with a nod.

The current situation was extremely critical and every second counted. Guided by him, the group swiftly moved toward the mountain peak he had mentioned.
