"What?"
Li Ping'an frowned, and his eyes suddenly got sharper.
What was going on?
Why would people send teams to Gloomy Dragon Pool now?
Did they know the horrible change in the mountain?
Lin Jianjia knew why Li Ping'an was confused, so she explained in a low voice, "When we entered the mountain, there should be some other teams in it. It is expected that the plutocrats would know the situation in the mountain. Since they chose to set off this morning, they must have made full preparations earlier, such as thorough speculation and calculation."
Li Ping'an slowly nodded.
Neither one person nor one team, especially the weak Black Hawk Martial Arts Club team, could be a match for teams led by the plutocrats.
However, strong as the plutocrats were, they still fell behind Li Ping'an. He was in Gloomy Dragon Pool now, so he had the advantage.
The plutocrats, so what?
They still lagged behind Li Ping'an.
"Jianjia, which plutocrats support those teams? When will they get here?"
Li Ping'an looked into Lin Jianjia's beautiful eyes.
In strategy, he could disdain enemies, but he should pay more attention to them in tactics.
Li Ping'an wondered how strong the plutocrats that also involved in Gloomy Dragon Pool were.
What was the most important, if they also kept their eyes on Gloomy Dragon Pool, there must be treasures in it.
They were more powerful in calculation than that of the weak team Li Ping'an had joined.
Of course, Lin Jianjia could get the news like this, so she was not common in strength and means.
After all, it was her secret, Li Ping'an would not ask about it.
Lin Jianjia got used to cooperating well with Li Ping'an. She seriously answered, "They are Xiangyun Gene, the top group in Yanjing, Fairy Island Creature, the great power from Penglai, MAD Group, the multinational group in Jinling, and so on."
"Oh, also Dongyue Energy Group in Haidong."
"The Tiangang team has been dispatched this time. It's said that its captain, Li Chengqian, is the disciple of Wan Shanhe who is the eighth strongest person in Walt Country and is beyond Awakening Stage."
"I heard that Wan Family has many shares in Dongyue Energy Group, so it is a powerful decision-maker. The Tiangang team coming here this time basically stands for Dongyue Energy Group."
Lin Jianjia was afraid that Li Ping'an didn't understand it, so she explained it in detail.
"Daniu, it's only my conclusion. In general, it's 90% correct."
"With the weather like this, the teams may arrive here tomorrow morning at the highest speed, according to the intelligence received by the tycoons."
"At the lowest speed, they may get here tomorrow noon."
"In other words, we have only one chance tonight. If we get nothing tonight, we will have to leave here before 5 a.m. tomorrow."
Lin Jianjia said this with a serious expression, looking at Li Ping'an.
"Dongyue Energy Group? Li Chengqian? Wan Shanhe? Before five o'clock tomorrow morning?"
Li Ping'an slowly spoke out these keywords, with his fists clenching.
Did Wan Family want to meddle in Gloomy Dragon Pool?
Would Li Ping'an challenge Wan Family, the giant?
"Daniu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so upset?"
Frightened by the expressions of Li Ping'an, Lin Jianjia asked him in a low voice.
Since she knew Li Ping'an, she had never seen such a sullen expression on his face.
Li Ping'an came to realize that he had almost been trapped in his hatred of Wan Family, so his behavior was not proper. He took a look at Lin Jianjia and said with a smile, "Jianjia, I'm OK. I just don't like Wan Family. Could you tell me more about Li Chengqian and the Tiangang team led by him? Such as their strength or rank."
"You don't like Wan Family?"
Lin Jianjia was speechless.
She wondered how brave Li Daniu was! How dare he look down upon the one of Wan Family who was beyond the Awakening Stage?
Yet she was touched and even attracted by his cool, handsome and arrogant face.
Daniu was so determined and tough that he would never give in to Wan Family, like a sharp javelin that was unable to be bent.
Lin Jianjia adjusted her feelings and whispered, "Daniu, the Tiangang team ranks seventeenth among the adventurer teams in Walt Country. If teams dispatched by other forces are not the strongest, they may not be a match for the Tiangang team."
"So, I guess..."
Lin Jianjia frowned and added. "Their action is secretive. Other plutocrats don't know about it. Thanks to my previous experiences, I could get the news about them."
"The seventeenth?"
Li Ping'an narrowed his eyes, and his sullen expressions were gradually replaced by peaceful ones.
It was not hard for Wan Family to train a team ranking 17th according to their strength.
However, Li Ping'an would not give up because of this!
The brave one was invincible!
If he couldn't defeat a disciple of Wan Shanhe, how could he battle with Wan Shanhe, a person beyond Awakening Stage in the future?
Li Ping'an tried his best to calm down and then asked Lin Jianjia, looking at her beautiful eyes, "Jianjia, well, what about the strength of Li Chengqian? Why is he so famous?"
Lin Jianjia realized his hatred of Wan Family was more than she had imagined.
Lin Jianjia had nothing to do with Wan Family, so she would naturally support Li Ping'an without any hesitation.
"Li Chengqian is not among the strongest people of Walt Country, because he seldom battles with others. Only the ones close to him know his strength but they never reveal it to the public. So it's difficult to know his strength."
"According to the information I gathered before, Li Chengqian must have been in the Awakening Stage, and he is likely to be stronger than I have expected."
"Daniu, I know you, but you should not be impulsive right now. From the chaotic period before the New Era to now, the power and resources the plutocrats hold are far more than we could imagine."
As she spoke, Lin Jianjia held the big hand of Li Ping'an with her small one.
She wanted to comfort and calm Li Ping'an in this way.
Li Ping'an pinched her hand heavily. With his brighter eyes, he nodded hard and said, "Jianjia, don't worry. I'm not a fool. I will not do anything impulsive."
"Moreover, captain, you are so beautiful. If I sought my doom, you would be worried about me to death."
"..."
Even if Li Ping'an changed his tone in time, Lin Jianjia understood his real purpose. So, she glared at Li Ping'an, with her eyes filled with coldness.
Li Ping'an realized that Lin Jianjia had been angry, so he hurried to apologize with a smile. And then he rushed to the tent to stay away from the trouble.
When Lin Jianjia saw Li Ping'an climb into the tent, she burst into laughter. Her stern face turned into a wide smile.
Annoyed by his offensive words, she often wanted to kill him. However, she suddenly noticed that she had never felt happier and more comfortable than what she felt these day in her life.
...
Li Ping'an always had a sound sleep.
The reaction of the stone trace in his chest had disappeared. He didn't have time think more but fell asleep in the tent.
Now, it was futile to consider too much.
With a smart girl like Lin Jianjia who was good at analyzing and calculating, Li Ping'an only needed to do what he should do and to make full preparations to get what he wanted before enemies came.
At least, Li Chengqian and the Tiangang team would only reach here tomorrow morning.
Time gap was his most advantage.
Nourished by the mysterious pool water, Li Ping'an only slept for two hours, which was better than common people who had slept for seven or eight hours.
Two hours later, Li Ping'an woke up and stretched his arms. After carefully climbing out of the tent, he was going to discuss the next plan with Lin Jianjia.
However, he found that Lin Jianjia bent over with her perfect hip towards him and stared at the north of the forest carefully.
There were many branches and grass on the tent which she put on to cover the tent.
Li Ping'an was about to enjoy her perfect curve, but he found something strange.
He quickly and carefully ran to Lin Jianjia and whispered, "Jianjia, what's going on?"
Lin Jianjia didn't expect that Li Ping'an would wake up so early, so she was frightened by him. She covered her mouth with her hand. A few seconds later, she came back to earth and pointed at the north with her slim fingers.
Li Ping'an looked in the direction where Lin Jianjia pointed and he was shocked.
It turned out.
In the heavy rain, he saw a team with seven or eight men slowly walking across the forest with various equipment. They seemed to be searching for a spot to set up tents.
"Sh*t."
Li Ping'an couldn't help but curse them. He didn't expect that before nightfall, some people had arrived here.
Lin Jianjia pulled his arm to ask him to be quiet.
Li Ping'an nodded and inquired her in a lower voice, "Jianjia, when did they get here?"
Lin Jianjia saw that they didn't notice them so she whispered, "It was about fifty minutes ago. I originally planned to wake you up, but you have already gotten up. Daniu, the situation has changed. Should we still stay here?"
When Lin Jianjia said this, she quivered.
Li Ping'an naturally noticed the abnormal behavior of Lin Jianjia, so he asked in a low voice, "Jianjia, what's wrong? Even if someone is here, you should not be so afraid like this."
Lin Jianjia rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm just a little cold. Daniu, look at the embroidered mark on their chest."
"An embroidered mark?"
Taking a careful look at it, Li Ping'an was shocked.
The embroidered mark was simple with a holy rising sun above some clean lines representing the sea.
"The Tiangang team?"
"Is it the Tiangang team?"
Li Ping'an became more alert than ever before.
Lin Jianjia nodded and answered, "Yes, it is. But they are not the main force, but are merely exploring the mountain in advance."
"Unexpectedly, they have arrived here so soon."
