Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Divine Envoy [An extraordinary creature ran out of the forbidden zone with a person] This was completely unexpected for the patrol squad. However, now the only ones leaving the forbidden zone are the competitors participating in Heaven’s Selection. Yang Feng’s expression turned slightly stern as he gestured to the others, leading them to approach proactively. The saber-toothed tiger carried Ding Que, galloping all the way. On its way forward, it saw the large base in the distance, a hint of fear flickering in its eyes. It looked at the human squad proactively approaching it, slowed its pace, and hesitated to get closer to them. About a few dozen meters away, the saber-toothed tiger stopped. Its massive size was quite imposing, but at this moment, its fierce face showed caution and prudence as it watched the human squad ahead. The tiger exerted its strength, and Ding Que on its back rolled down. It raised a tiger paw, pointed at the motionless Ding Que on the ground, and then pointed at itself. "It seems it has no ill intentions." Yang Feng’s expression was serious: "Verify this person’s identity." Beside him. A squad member took out an instrument, aimed it at Ding Que from afar for scanning. A moment later, information emerged. "Captain, he’s a member of the Coronal Sect squad." "His name is Ding Que." "Ding Que." Yang Feng looked at Ding Que, who was lying still on the ground. Spiritual power spread out and engaged in communication with the saber-toothed tiger on a spiritual level: "Did you come specifically to bring him back?" Sensing the spiritual inquiry, the saber-toothed tiger let out a low roar in response. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Upon hearing this, Yang Feng signaled with his hand: "Get closer, stay alert, two people go check Ding Que’s condition." The patrol squad advanced. The saber-toothed tiger instinctively retreated a bit. Two squad members went forward to investigate Ding Que. "Captain, his body is severely depleted, his consciousness is blurred, and he’s already unconscious." "Take him back to the base for treatment." Yang Feng waved his hand, a thoughtful look crossing his eyes: "Do not notify the Coronal Sect yet, find out the exact situation after he recovers, then let him return." The current situation seemed bizarre anyway, and with the Heaven’s Selection ongoing, he naturally had to be cautious. The two team members carried Ding Que back while the rest of the members watched the saber-toothed tiger vigilantly, preparing to return to the base. From the distance. The saber-toothed tiger kept watching their actions. At this moment, seeing them preparing to leave, a hint of urgency flashed in its eyes, and it began to roar lowly. Yang Feng paused in his steps. "Do you have anything else to say?" Spiritual power conveyed its intent, and as Yang Feng looked at the side where Ding Que was being carried, a thought struck him: "Did someone ask you to bring him back?" The answer was a somewhat excited roar from the tiger. "Halt." Yang Feng stopped the others, a light flickering in his eyes, his spiritual power fully activating as he attempted to communicate with the saber-toothed tiger. The spiritual aspect of the extraordinary creature being relatively weak made the communication between man and tiger somewhat difficult, but with full effort, Yang Feng quickly obtained and understood some information, and his expression turned completely serious. His gaze swept over the unconscious Ding Que, and he held the communicator, lowering his voice to transmit the message. Soon after... He looked at the members of the squad present, speaking in a deep voice: "Stand by." The group waited quietly, and shortly, dozens of nearly fully enclosed special vehicles arrived at the scene. The personnel who descended from the vehicles were fully armed, wearing military uniforms with a special badge on their chests. The badge combined the elements of a knife, sword, and gun, merging ancient and modern. This was the exclusive military insignia of the Judgment Legion! Once disembarked, the group immediately took over Ding Que, while all members of the patrol squad also got into the vehicles, returning to the base together. Before leaving. Yang Feng gazed distantly at the saber-toothed tiger. After their communication was complete, the saber-toothed tiger had left willingly, already creating some distance. Bathed in the rain of light, it integrated into its surroundings, and it stretched comfortably. ... Ding Que couldn’t remember how long he had been unconscious. He never expected that in his final battle, where he was prepared to burn his life, he would become a joke in the end. Qin Jin’s words "not worth it" deprived him of the opportunity to fight to the death, placing both life and death at the mercy of another’s whim. Carried by the saber-toothed tiger during its frantic run, initially, although he couldn’t move, he remained consciously aware, but as time passed, having already expended a large amount of energy through his secret technique, he uncontrollably fell unconscious. Now... A warm sensation spread throughout his body, his stiff and weakened physique gradually recovered, and at one moment, Ding Que suddenly opened his eyes. In his view was a soft, transparent canopy, outside of which was a light blue ceiling. A feeling of warmth continually coursed through his body. Ding Que felt a bit dazed. Just then, a hoarse voice sounded from the side. "You’re awake?" Ding Que snapped back to reality. "Am I in a healing capsule?" He instinctively looked around. He was in a medical room, where there were two other small healing capsules, containing people he was very familiar with. Those were the two teammates he had in Heaven’s Selection! Yunluo Mountain’s pale face showed a hint of redness, lying in the healing capsule. Upon seeing Ding Que look in his direction, he even managed a faint smile. And beside him. The person who just spoke was wearing the ancestral cloak of the Coronal Sect. "Manager Bai." Ding Que became even more bewildered, addressing him: "Why are you here?" "Did they capture you?" "Are we... not running?" The one he called Manager Bai. Was Bai Qiushi. A member of the Coronal Sect who had once dealt with Qin Jin. The Coronal Sect was searching on the Mining Star for martial arts geniuses participating in Heaven’s Selection, and Bai Qiushi was assigned by the Sect to handle living affairs and other details on the Mining Star, thus being quite familiar with Ding Que and his companions. "Run?" A hint of confusion appeared on Bai Qiushi’s face, but then he seemed to think of something, his expression turning somewhat subtle. "Where to run, run to where?" "The Federation has long been cordoning off the Mining Star, how do we run?" "Then are we now..." Ding Que’s voice softened: "Waiting to die?" "Something happened. The Federation interrogating you big shots is one thing but why save me?" "That’s not something you need to worry about." Bai Qiushi’s tone turned more serious: "Just wait here honestly." "It’s you, Ding Que." "How did you end up like this, even being sent back by an extraordinary creature?" Hearing this. Ding Que gave a bitter smile, tugging at the corners of his mouth. ... Following the sealed door of the medical room, outside in the corridor, stood guards from the Judgment Legion. This medical room was situated within the tallest building of the frontline base. Inside, staff wearing uniforms mingled and bustled, collecting and organizing various changes happening on the Mining Star, accumulating insights from the Star God’s evolution. This was the command headquarters set up by the Starfire Federation at the frontline base! On the very top floor of the entire building. In a visitor room, the floor-to-ceiling window faced the direction of the forbidden zone, the swirling storm clouds in the sky, and the torrential downpour of vital light rain was all in view. Two figures stood side by side at the window, looking out. One of them wore a Federation uniform, glasses perched on his nose yet surrounded by a murderous aura. JK4176 Mining Star, Heaven’s Selection project chief. Tang Qian. Beside him. The other was a petite woman, dressed in a cloak, her alluring face exposed, but her eyes weren’t normal pupils. They were two glowing suns, giving her face a somewhat eerie appearance. She was from the Coronal Sect. This was a Divine Envoy of the Coronal Sect!
