Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1194 - 1194 490 Something Strange

Chapter 1194: Chapter 490: Sothing Strange Chapter 1194: Chapter 490: Sothing Strange After Wang Tao conducted a quick test of the cloak, to prevent any oversight, he didn’t leave imdiately but instead scoured the area once more, yet the result was still the sa. The second level was just too small; having only two Level 5 Lords was enough, but there wasn’t even a single treasure chest…

So, Wang Tao could only leave.

Returning to the first level, Wang Tao planned to find Cheng Yiyi to see how she was recovering.

He found that the Sixth Legion, which had been stationed not far from the cave entrance, had left. Judging by the traces on the ground, it seed they had left in a hurry, but there were no signs of battle.

“Did they leave first?”

Wang Tao tried to contact Cheng Yiyi, but there was no signal.

“These so-called communication tendrils, they don’t seem very reliable, do they?”

Wang Tao looked at the tendrils on the ground and muttered. He subconsciously tried contacting Lan Yulian and realized the connection went through.

“Wang Tao, how are things on your end? Everything’s fine here!” said Lan Yulian imdiately upon connecting.

“Eh?”

Wang Tao was sowhat surprised.

He could contact Lan Yulian but not Cheng Yiyi? Had Cheng Yiyi and her team traveled far away, even farther than the distance between him and Lan Yulian?

Puzzled but not dwelling on it, he shared with Lan Yulian and the others about his recent exploration and told them he was heading back.

However, on his way back, Wang Tao received a call on his informational wristwatch. Thinking it was Cheng Yiyi, he was surprised to find it was Regintal Commander Duan from the Third Legion.

“Hello, Regintal Commander Duan,” greeted Wang Tao with a smile.

“Hi! Principal Wang, just call Old Duan!” bood Duan Xuchang.

Initially, when he was ordered by his superiors to pick up Wang Tao and his team from Changhe Base to Zijing City, he was just a squadron leader. Now, after so much ti had passed, he had risen to beco the commander of the Third Legion.

Naturally, his rise involved his own efforts, but Wang Tao also played a role.

After all, the people he took over responsibility for were Wang Tao and his group, and he had a genuinely good relationship with Wang Tao. Even if Wang Tao said nothing, the higher-ups, considering Wang Tao’s influence, would still grant Duan Xuchang so perks.

Duan Xuchang was well aware of this and also knew that even if he had originally not gone to pick up Wang Tao and his group, Wang Tao wouldn’t have died—only the ordinary people would have suffered, and Wang Tao definitely could have escaped since, by that ti, Wang Tao was already an Awakener…

With self-awareness, Duan never considered himself Wang Tao’s lifesaver when interacting with him. Instead, it was Wang Tao who had given him many valuable things… He knew his quick promotion was significantly linked to his relationship with Wang Tao, so he felt very grateful toward Wang Tao…

After exchanging pleasantries, Duan Xuchang said:

“Principal Wang, I wanted to ask if you know where the Sixth Legion has gone? We’re supposed to have a eting, but we can’t find them… Commander Cheng said earlier that you were with them, and since I couldn’t reach her, I thought I’d ask if you knew.”

“Huh? You don’t know where they’ve gone?”

Wang Tao frowned.

The Six Major Legions are a single entity unlike other forces, and they need to maintain constant communication.

Once Cheng Yiyi discovered the “communication tendrils,” she imdiately contacted whoever was reachable. Since she could contact him, she should also be able to reach other legions.

But now, Duan Xuchang was saying they had lost contact with the Sixth Legion… Could sothing have happened?

Wang Tao asked Duan how long the Sixth Legion had been out of contact. Duan explained that their regints required communication at least every hour, and it had been three hours since the last contact with the Sixth Legion.

“Lost contact for three hours…”

Wang Tao quickly calculated the ti; that would have been shortly after Cheng Yiyi and her group left the second level…

“Could sothing really have happened? Or did they go sowhere without communication tendrils…”

When Wang Tao had left, he specifically looked around. Though the Sixth Legion’s retreat was hasty, there were no signs of battle… Haste was understandable, given the perilous nature of this place where slow actions were unfeasible.

“I’m not far from where the Sixth Legion was previously stationed; I’ll head back there now to check.”

Wang Tao imdiately said it, as they were all his own people, and he certainly needed to show concern.

“Alright, thank you, Principal Wang! I’m also worried that sothing might have happened to the Sixth Legion, but we can’t get there anyti soon…”

After ending the call, Wang Tao imdiately directed Lightning to turn around. He also inford Lan Yulian and the others that he would be a bit late returning, as the Sixth Legion might have encountered trouble.

Monts later, Wang Tao arrived back at the spot where the Sixth Legion had been stationed.

He didn’t need to distinguish the retreat traces; Wang Tao just let Lightning sniff and follow the scent.

Half an hour later, a forest appeared before Wang Tao…

It seed to be mutated banyan trees, but the mutation wasn’t complete, so they didn’t have blood bars, indicating they lacked consciousness… Clearly, Cheng Yiyi and her group had gone inside.

Without hesitation, Wang Tao and Lightning entered.

After entering, Lightning whined a few tis, indicating to Wang Tao that there were Level 5 Lord scents inside, but they were scattered, and it would take so ti to locate them.

The first level also had Level 5 Lords, just not in large numbers.

“Hopefully, Cheng Yiyi and her group didn’t encounter any danger…”

If it were a head-on fight, Wang Tao felt that with the fighting capability of the Sixth Legion, they could completely eliminate a Level 5 Lord. However, mutated plants here never engaged in direct combat; they preferred ambushes. If ambushed by a Level 5 Lord, the Sixth Legion could be in grave danger!
