God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 634: Chapter 631: The Pulling Force

Outside the tent, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but widen his eyes. If he had known at the foot of the mountain, he should have bought a bigger tent.

But after all, he had already made a big deal about it, and going back now would only invite ridicule from Ghost Face. So, he began to persuade tirelessly.

”Bingxuan, can you really bear to watch me catch a cold in this freezing weather?”

”Wouldn’t it be safer if I stayed with you?”

”I remember who’s most afraid of wolves...”

Inside the tent, the two beauties listening to Xiao Tian’s incessant chattering couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

This kind of weather could even be handled by some entry-level masters, and you claim you’ll catch a cold?

Even jokes should be somewhat realistic, right?

After a long time, realizing that the two might have fallen asleep from his nagging, Xiao Tian had to give up his original plan and reluctantly walked towards Ghost Face’s crude tent.

After Xiao Tian left, using the gentle light emitted by the Luminous Pearl, Lin Bingxuan looked at Melinda, who was sleeping soundly beside her, with more than half of her body exposed. After covering her up and tucking her in, she felt at ease and closed her eyes to rest.

Melinda felt a warm sensation in her heart, knowing that Lin Bingxuan’s gesture was out of concern for her catching a cold, but this would mean Lin Bingxuan would have half of her body uncovered.

She turned to her side, lifted her blanket, and placed it back over Lin Bingxuan, flashing a sweet smile.

...

”Who?”

In the darkness, Ghost Face suddenly opened his eyes, already sensing someone approaching outside the tent, seemingly without any intention of hiding. He couldn’t help but coldly ask.

The person outside was naturally Xiao Tian. Facing the same treatment from both sides, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, ”It’s me!”

Ghost Face, lying on the ground, immediately sat up and walked out of the tent, looking at the helpless Xiao Tian, who appeared like a defeated rooster. Whatever sleepiness he had disappeared instantly, and he asked with amusement, ”Why are you back?”

Xiao Tian glanced at the gloating Ghost Face, ignoring him, and was about to step into the tent when a hand blocked his way at the entrance.

Ghost Face blocked Xiao Tian while laughing, ”Come on, tell me how you ended up back here?”

”Phew...” Xiao Tian took a deep breath, not bothering to be polite with Ghost Face, and directly pushed him aside, entering the tent.

Ghost Face didn’t mind at all. Seeing Xiao Tian make a fool of himself was a rare opportunity not to be missed, so he quickly followed inside, eager to thoroughly tease Xiao Tian.

But as soon as he stepped inside, Ghost Face’s smile froze instantly, his expression turning serious as he looked at Xiao Tian’s colorful face. The source of the light was a pendant in Xiao Tian’s hand.

And looking at the fluctuating pendant, Xiao Tian also became serious. When approaching Kunlun Mountain, the pendant on his chest started flashing frequently.

But, with a series of events unfolding, Xiao Tian really didn’t have the time to calmly study this anomaly.

However, at this moment, he clearly felt a pulling force, and the source seemed to be the energy fluctuation of the Five Elements Crystal.

This discovery startled Xiao Tian. Previously, although he could clearly perceive the energy fluctuations emitted by the Five Elements Crystal, they were never as precise and intense as with the help of this pendant.

Xiao Tian even had a feeling that following this, he could accurately locate the Five Elements Crystal, instead of relying on perception to get a general idea and then blindly searching.

To ensure his perception wasn’t wrong, Xiao Tian threw the pendant in front of Ghost Face, who caught it and looked at him, puzzled about its meaning.

Soon, the confusion in Ghost Face’s eyes turned to astonishment, and he said excitedly, ”This, this seems to be responding to the call of the Five Elements Crystal?!”

Ghost Face’s analogy might not be entirely accurate, but he wasn’t wrong in essence. Xiao Tian nodded in confirmation, verifying that his perception had not been mistaken!

”Let’s go!” Ghost Face’s face flushed with excitement, showing an impatient stance, ”Let’s head out now, before someone else beats us to it!”

Hearing Ghost Face’s proposal, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but frown. Although inwardly he agreed with Ghost Face’s suggestion, Melinda and Lin Bingxuan, having gone through the day’s exhaustion, were undoubtedly tired.

Indecisive, Xiao Tian ultimately decided not to accept Ghost Face’s suggestion. Lin Bingxuan had provided him with energy during the day and then treated Melinda’s injuries, leaving her exhausted.

And although Melinda hadn’t engaged in any battles or extensively utilized her True Qi, she had just experienced a significant emotional upheaval, making it the perfect time to rest.

Based on this, Xiao Tian calmed the restless Ghost Face, deciding to depart at first light.

The reason he wasn’t in such a hurry was simple because most of the masters, except for their group, could only perceive a general location and were unaware of the exact position of the Five Elements Crystal.

With the help of the pendant, Xiao Tian and his group could avoid many detours. It was as if they were cheating, at least regarding the search for the Five Elements Crystal, saving them a lot of time compared to others.

On the other hand, obtaining it too early might not be very useful since many experts had already arrived. Even if they obtained the Five Elements Crystal, it might be snatched away.

If Xiao Tian had been able to sense the location of the Five Elements Crystal upon first entering Kunlun Mountain, he could have gone straight to the target, securing it before most had a chance to act.

But now, it’s undoubtedly too late to say anything!

So, Xiao Tian still decided to proceed steadily, as being too hasty might sometimes not be a good thing!

As for Ghost Face, although he had some complaints about Xiao Tian’s theory, he clearly lacked in debate skills, so he had no choice but to agree.

However, Ghost Face didn’t think it mattered too much since Xiao Tian also needed the Five Elements Crystal to restore his power. With the same goals, he wasn’t worried about Xiao Tian delaying the opportunity.

In Ghost Face’s impression, Xiao Tian always knew what he was doing!

——

In the Kunlun Sect, Celestial Punishment Daoist had already assembled the team, including Yun You and two others, with a total of nineteen elite disciples, all standing listlessly outside the mountain gate.

Some even had crooked belts, and their bags on their backs were dangling, looking like a group of defeated soldiers!

Of course, although these elite disciples were much stronger than Yun You and the others, they were still clearly inadequate to deal with Xiao Tian’s group.

To be safe, Celestial Punishment Daoist also brought along two junior brothers. These were his trump cards, initially meant to be kept hidden until he could gather enough elders and launch a rebellion for power.

But right now, he couldn’t afford such luxuries!

Although Daoist Tianxing specifically instructed to choose people randomly, given Celestial Punishment Daoist’s current influence, it was clear he couldn’t mobilize those people to act.
