Chapter 1164: I’m A Professional At Making Holes!
Wang Teng didn’t know that General Darte had contacted the headquarters after he left his office.
He returned to the room and reunited with Peggy and the others.
“Does anyone still need rest?” Wang Teng looked around and asked.
“Major Wang Teng, we didn’t encounter much trouble along the way. We don’t need to rest at all,” Peggy said.
“Let’s go then.” Wang Teng nodded. “I’ve sent the mission details to your wristwatches. Take a look.”
Everyone opened their wristwatches. After reading the mission details, their expression changed slightly.
Wang Teng had already marked out the number of dark apparitions and their stages accordingly in the mission details.
Although this was only just a scouting mission, it was undoubtedly a dangerous one.
This level of danger had already exceeded all the other missions that they had executed previously.
“Major, this mission…” Peggy frowned.
“You’re not confident?” Wang Teng asked with a smile.
Peggy suddenly felt speechless.
Why was this fellow able to smile?
This mission was so dangerous. If they were not careful, the entire squad would be dead.
She admitted that this officer was indeed powerful, to the point where she couldn’t figure him out. However, the mission clearly indicated that there were two low-tier devil emperors.
What was going on here?
The others looked like they didn’t have any confidence either. The atmosphere was down and solemn.
“No matter what, this mission is in our hands. We can’t reject it,” Wang Teng said calmly. “But don’t worry too much. I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can bring all of you back safely.”
The team suddenly looked at Wang Teng in surprise.
Bring all of them back safely!
They didn’t know where Wang Teng got the confidence to make such a promise. But seeing how calm he was, it seemed that he wasn’t fooling around with them.
“Major Wang Teng, I’ll go with you.” Staff sergeant Arwen suddenly stood up and said, “I will not be a deserter.”
“If that’s the case, I’m in.” Peggy stood up as well. There wasn’t any expression on her cold face, but everyone could see the determination in her eyes.
“I’m going too.”
“Me too!”
…
The remaining martial warriors expressed their decisions without any hesitation.
These martial warriors had all experienced the battlefield. It wasn’t because they were afraid; they just didn’t want to die in vain.
Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction when he saw everyone’s reaction.
The morale is there!
“Alright, get ready.”
After everyone packed up, they set off to the mission location without using the Eagle Seven battlecraft.
Wang Teng refused General Darte’s good intentions to send other intelligence personnel to assist him. Their team had already established trust. He didn’t want any other unnecessary voices.
They only required some relevant intelligence, and this could be done through communication via wristwatches.
The mission location was about a hundred kilometers away from the third frontline defense base. It wasn’t far. With their speed, they didn’t need much time to get there.
Everyone hid their bodies and flew across the endless wilderness.
20 martial warriors formed a bird-like formation. Each of them was alert and looking out in a direction. If they discovered a dark apparition, they could notify the others in time.
Wang Teng was at the head of the formation and played a key role in decision-making and adjusting the direction.
They encountered several waves of dark apparitions, but they avoided all of them as the mission was of greater priority.
As they approached, Wang Teng saw a valley in the distance and waved his hand. Everyone then stopped immediately.
“We’re here. Land and hide,” Wang Teng commanded.
The team landed on the ground, approaching the valley carefully.
On one side of the valley, Wang Teng led them to a hidden place. The twenty-one of them spread out and concealed their auras.
“I don’t see any dark apparition.” Peggy was with Wang Teng.
“There’s a hole over there under those rocks,” Wang Teng said without any hesitation.
“Hmm?” Peggy looked over and was a little surprised.
Those rocks were stacked together. It was impossible to see what was below it. If there was really a hole, how did Wang Teng find out?
And based on his expression, he was sure that the dark apparitions were in that hole.
This was unbelievable.
She didn’t doubt Wang Teng. After all, he wasn’t one to joke about these things.
But after a few glances, she finally noticed some traces in the surroundings.
Those rocks did have traces of being moved, but they were well-concealed and not easy to find. They had ignored that place just now.
“If the hole is blocked, it would be easy for us to be discovered once we move those rocks.” Peggy pondered.
“Wait for me here. I’ll go and have a look.” Wang Teng rubbed his chin and disappeared from his spot.
Before Peggy could say anything, Wang Teng was already gone.
“This guy!” Peggy gritted her teeth and felt helpless.
He’s so reckless!
It was best to observe in such a situation. It would be troublesome if he was found out.
However, Wang Teng didn’t give her a chance to persuade him otherwise and completely acted on his own.
This made her feel inexistent.
But it was too late to say anything now. Peggy could only keep her eyes on the bottom. If anything happened, she could be the first to react and provide support.
However…
She couldn’t detect Wang Teng’s presence after waiting for a long time.
It was as if he had disappeared. There wasn’t even a trace, making her rub her eyes in disbelief.
“Where did he go?”
She still couldn’t find him after taking a closer look and even using her spiritual perception.
Bang!
Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Her heart almost stopped.
Fortunately, she didn’t make a sound due to her experience on the battlefield.
And she was ready to attack next.
“Do you really have to be so nervous?” Wang Teng grabbed her hand.
“…” Peggy finally realized that Wang Teng had returned.
Veins appeared on her forehead as she took a deep breath and said, “Major, please don’t surprise me like this in the future. I will be scared to death.”
“Alright alright. Sorry about that.” Wang Teng felt a little guilty when he saw Peggy’s resentful eyes.
He was used to judging Peggy and the others by his standards. He realized that it was impossible for them to detect him. Appearing like that was indeed frightening.
“I just took a look. There are runes below that rock. We would be found out if we move it.” Wang Teng quickly changed the topic.
Peggy rolled her eyes and didn’t harp on what happened just now. After pondering for a while, she said, “Then, we have two options.”
“What options?”
“We can find other ways of entering the ground, or we can make a hole ourselves and enter from another place,” Peggy advised.
“That sounds good.” Wang Teng nodded in agreement. “Then I’ll take a look at the other places.”
He disappeared again.
Peggy rolled her eyes. However, she was relieved after experiencing Wang Teng’s concealment firsthand.
This officer was much more capable than she had imagined. She felt a little confident about this mission.
In a scouting mission like this, having someone skilled in concealment was definitely a blessing.
“Adjutant Peggy, where did the boss go?” Arwen asked.
“He’s looking for an entrance.” Peggy recounted her plan.
When Arwen and the others knew about Wang Teng’s ability to come and go without a trace, they felt more confident as well.
“There’s no entrance.” Wang Teng didn’t return to Peggy’s side this time and used voice transmission instead. “Looks like I have to make a hole myself.”
“Would you be okay?” Peggy asked worriedly.
Punching a hole was the last resort, but it would definitely make a noise and they would be spotted.
“Don’t worry, I’m a professional at making holes.” Wang Teng was full of confidence.
Peggy was speechless.
What professional?
It was just making a hole, did he have to pass a test or exam?
After interacting for a while, Peggy already had an understanding of this officer’s actions and words… He’s a weirdo!
Wang Teng didn’t know that Peggy was judging him. He had found a hidden place and was ready to drill a hole.
Before that, he had already scouted using his spiritual power. This location was the farthest from the dark apparitions in the cave. If he was careful, he wouldn’t be discovered.
If he said he was a professional, then he was definitely a professional.
Wang Teng placed his hand on the ground. The surrounding rocks began to turn into sand gradually and floated up. They were then controlled by his spiritual power and fell to the side.
Heart Of Magnetic Essence!
This was the power from the Heart Of Magnetic Essence.
Wang Teng’s Heart Of Magnetic Essence was a combination of Magnetic Physique and Heart Of Zhongyan, which was why it had the ability to turn rocks into sand.
After a short while, a hole appeared in front of Wang Teng without making any sound.
The dark apparitions wouldn’t know that someone had made a hole.
Wang Teng then informed Peggy and the others.
Peggy immediately brought the others to Wang Teng’s side. When she saw the neat hole in front of her, she was surprised and confused.
This is really… professional!
“Five people will go in with me. The others will be guarding outside. Notify us immediately if anything happens,” Wang Teng said.
“I’ll go with you.” Peggy immediately stepped forward and chose four other martial warriors. They followed him into the hole.
When they entered, the sand above flowed back and filled up the hole, returning to its original rocky state. It was like there wasn’t even a hole to begin with. Peggy’s eyes were wide open.
What was that?!
