Because he was using magic to explore, the images that rose in Master Wang’s mind were far less clear than if he had used Spiritual Sense directly.
But he could barely make out the different areas and sense the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
The defense of the Snow Mountain Base was indeed tight.
Starting from their location and extending outward, there was a sentry post every hundred ters, a fortress every kiloter, and over a dozen patrol teams scattered about, with mbers dressed in thick white combat suits that almost blended in with the environnt, equipped with various types of support gear.
In terms of protective strength, Fortress 76 was still a notch below Snow Mountain Base right now.
In so sense... Xing Dian was truly a talent.
The sa tense atmosphere perated this place.
The soldiers responsible for observation took up their heavy binoculars every ten or so seconds to peer out into the distance;
The soldiers in front of the surveillance screens dared not take their eyes off the monitors even for a mont while drinking water.
Wang Jixuan quickly found a patrol team that was about to go out, listening as their leader quietly admonished,
"Check the communication equipnt, everyone put on your self-heating underwear, don’t get your backsides and your stuff frozen."
"The situation has been pretty severe recently, we just got news that a group of enemies are trying to get close."
"We must now execute everything according to the strictest standards. If you feel you can’t ntally handle it, give yourself an injection of Type-2, and you’ll be able to rest well after these few days."
After the leader spoke, several team mbers took out small syringes from their waist packs and injected themselves in the arms.
The soldiers quickly beca fully ard, boarded the ascending elevator, and rushed to their patrol positions.
Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense moved further inward.
The area he was now exploring was the military district outside of the Snow Mountain Base, which was sowhat similar to the first and second levels of Fortress 76, protecting the main body of the Snow Mountain Base.
There were no chanical Guards, and the technology content wasn’t very high in various places, it was almost all manual work.
——For the forces of Spiritual Ability City, the cost of people was much lower than that of chanical Guards, and there was no need to maintain a huge scientific research team for developnt and maintenance.
Wang Jixuan ford another hand sign, and the images in his mind beca blurrier, but his Spiritual Sense successfully passed through the outer military base and entered the main body of the Snow Mountain Base.
The planning here was a little chaotic;
It seed they originally just dug a cave and then gradually expanded inward into the mountain.
Wang Jixuan carefully looked for weaknesses here, such as the external ventilation ducts, abandoned fire escape routes, and so on.
But after searching the entire place... he didn’t find a single flaw.
Soon, the entire structure of the Snow Mountain Base was clear in Wang Jixuan’s mind.
The whole base was shaped like an inverted ’7’, spreading downward from the outside inward: the outer rim was the military district, followed by the residential area, and then the core area.
The core area was where the Spiritual Ability Users congregated.
The residential area was inhabited mostly by normal people, serving as a playground for the Spiritual Ability Users.
Wang Jixuan discovered a ridiculous scene:
A female Spiritual Ability User broke into a young couple’s ho, controlled the couple, and then forced herself on the man in front of the woman, while continuously boasting to the hoowner.
Just... hard to comnt on...
The core area of Snow Mountain Base was not very large and extended deep into the mountain; Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense found hundreds of Spiritual Ability Users inside, but most were below rank C.
There were only two ways to enter or leave the core area.
One was the normal route, which went all the way from the outer military district inward, through more than twenty checkpoints to reach the destination.
The other was a path diagonally below the core area, where there was an ergency route leading directly to Rainbow Town at the side of the mountain.
This must be the "Path of Pleasure" ntioned in the information provided by the Dragonfly Lady.
Wang Jixuan quickly located the infusion laboratory ntioned in Ji Xiao’s mory.
This laboratory was on the edge of the core area, where over a dozen young people were subrged in Blade Beast Blood with sensor patches attached to their bodies, while several researchers in white lab coats were analyzing data.
After a while, Wang Jixuan found Xing Dian’s bedroom, with its grandiose self-portrait, a wardrobe imbued with traces of Xing Dian’s Qi, and a wall featuring an annual self-portrait of Xing Dian in the sa pose...
Pretty narcissistic.
However, the biggest problem soon erged.
Where was Xing Dian?
Where was Spirit Cultivator No.5?
Wang Jixuan scoured the core area with his Spiritual Sense, turning it upside down and continuously searching outward, but he couldn’t find a trace of Xing Dian or Spirit Cultivator No.5.
Not in the core area?
Hiding in the residential or military district, playing in the shadows?
Master Wang began to search back and forth.
He discovered the various self-destruct bombs hidden in the Snow Mountain Base, saw the ’gates’ constructed from extrely thick rock walls, and found those landmines and trick mines embedded in the mountain.
Not a hair of Xing Dian was found!
Until his mana had been drained too much, dropping below forty percent of the [fighting danger line], Master Wang had to stop the magic.
Shaking his head vigorously, Wang Jixuan’s vision returned to normal.
He clutched two High-level Blade Beast Crystal Cores, directly absorbing the Spiritual Power within them, then frowned deeply, pondering where Xing Dian might be hiding.
All he could say was, thank goodness he had Spiritual Sense to explore.
If they had rashly charged into Snow Mountain Base, there would likely have been major problems.
At this mont, they were hiding in a glacial valley, not far from a babbling stream that contained abundant water Qi.
Seeing Wang Jixuan’s somber expression, the shell instructor asked in a low voice, "Did you find sothing?"
"It seems Xing Dian is not in Snow Mountain Base."
"Not there?" Black Shell was also startled, "If our intelligence system is not wrong, then Xing Dian should definitely be in Snow Mountain Base."
