Hearing Jack’s words, the tobacco pipe in the village chief’s hand trembled slightly. He then sighed.
“Although I want to refuse, it might be better for Julie to go with you.”
Hearing this, Jack’s face was excited. He patted his chest and promised, “Village Chief, don’t worry, Julie. I’ve already treated her as my own sister.”
“I will definitely ensure her safety.”
As he said this, Jack added, “Also, I promise that I will definitely ask the best to cure little sister Julie’s amnesia.”
“Okay.”
Nodding his head, a satisfied look appeared on the village chief’s face.
He did not care about anything else but the attitude of this young man made him very concerned.
It had to be said that this young man was really outstanding.
His behavior was very polite and he spoke with great respect for his elders.
Even when he came to the depths of the mountain, he didn’t show any signs of disdain.
Just this point alone made this young man worthy of his trust.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
“That, why did you come here?”
With an innocent look in her eyes, the girl sitting at the side suddenly asked.
“What could have happened? It was the appearance of mutated beasts that disturbed people’s safety. We came here to do some investigations.”
She smiled and waved at the leader with a face full of stubble,
He liked this girl named Julie very much.
It was rare for the little girl to ask, so he naturally opened his mouth and replied.
“Oh…”
The girl dragged out her voice and seemed to be in deep thought.
After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to ask again, “Mutated beasts, are they those monsters?
“Right, how did you know that there were mutated beasts here?”
“This…”
The leader opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But after a moment, he looked around and decisively shut his mouth again.
Although this was not a secret, it did not seem like it was something that these villagers should know.
“Is it hard to say?”
She lowered her head slightly and her voice became softer.
“Uh…”
The leader was stunned.
Jack, who was at the side, also shook his head helplessly and looked at Julie, who he did not see as his sister.
He smiled and replied, “There is nothing hard to say.”
He pointed to the sky and said, “The spiritual satellite detected an unusual spiritual fluctuation here, so my superior sent us here to take a look.”
Jack looked at the village chief and reminded him:
“Right, Village Chief, you should move out of the mountain as soon as possible. The mountain is no longer suitable for humans to live in.”
…
In the depths of the canyon.
Lin Meng slowly raised his head and looked at the vast night sky.
He muttered to himself, “Spiritual energy satellite monitoring…”
The thick fog could not block Lin Meng’s gaze.
He did not expect that satellites could become his problem.
Humans had actually developed a device to detect spiritual energy.
They even used this device as a satellite, launching it into outer space.
Lin Meng felt a little helpless.
Lin Meng had no choice in this matter.
If it was possible, he even wanted to use his branches to pierce through the sky and shoot down the satellite in outer space.
However, not to mention shooting into outer space, he couldn’t even touch the sky.
All he could do was wait.
Wait for the humans to find him.
Then, they would transport him back to a secret base of the humans. If he was lucky, they wouldn’t need to slice him up and study him…
It would only produce the essence of life every day.
Of course, if he was unlucky, they would cut off Lin Meng’s limbs and study it in depth.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng’s heart sank slightly.
Helpless.
He was really helpless.
Facing the sudden spiritual detection satellite, Lin Meng was at a loss of what to do.
He was just a willow tree.
A tree could not run under the sun.
In other words, there was nothing he could do except wait for the humans to arrive.
At this moment, they seemed to have noticed Lin Meng’s heavy mood.
The peregrine falcons flew out of the nest.
“Hum! Hum!”
A series of cries seemed to be wailing.
Birds understood human nature.
They could understand Lin Meng’s mood at this moment.
“I’m fine.”
He stretched out his branches as if he wanted to tease the peregrine falcons but, halfway through, Lin Meng pulled them back.
He was not in the mood at all.
He only felt that a huge boulder was pressing on his chest.
“There should be a way, there should be…”
In his deep thoughts, he kept telling himself.
According to the current situation, the spirit energy detection satellite should only be able to detect whether the spirit energy in a certain area was abnormal and not accurately capture it.
Otherwise, it would not be these few people who came to investigate on the spot.
One had to know that with their small number of people, they were not enough for Lin Meng to whip them with a few branches.
If they used tree roots, Lin Meng would be even more able to strangle them to death in an instant.
And now, Lin Meng had to know how to avoid or counter the spiritual power detection device.
Of course, there was still one more thing to consider.
That was whether or not he could hide it from this batch of soldiers during the field inspection.
If he could hide it from these soldiers and counter the spiritual energy detection satellite, Lin Meng would be truly safe.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng’s gaze shifted to Betty, who was not far away.
His tone was solemn.
“Betty, try to help me ask about the specific situation of the spiritual energy detection satellite.”
Hearing the serious voice, Betty nodded seriously.
Her gaze was firm.
“Yes, Master.”
After replying, Betty’s consciousness entered the depths of her soul again.
…
Not long after, Betty bit her lips lightly as if she was saying something:
“The spiritual energy detection satellite is just a simple device to detect the concentration of spiritual energy in a place.”
“However, based on the different concentrations of spiritual energy in this area, we can take some precautions in advance. For example, the reason why we are here on a field trip like now is firstly to evacuate the people, and secondly, to confirm whether the concentration of spiritual energy in this area is abnormal or whether a powerful mutated beast has been born.”
Listening to Betty’s voice, Lin Meng analyzed seriously.
“The concentration of spiritual energy in the region. In that case, they haven’t confirmed my existence.”
“Phew…”
Letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng relaxed.
Fortunately.
It wasn’t the worst-case scenario.
If they weren’t sure, then he still had a great chance.
However, the most important thing now was to consider how to counter the satellite spiritual energy detection in outer space.
After thinking about it, Lin Meng decided to start with the “stealth” that he used to sneak up on the golden eagle.
That time, he had held his breath and restrained most of his aura.
It made the golden eagle misjudge him.
If he could upgrade his ability or strengthen it…
Perhaps he could really avoid being discovered by the spiritual energy detection satellites.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng pulled his consciousness into his mind.
“Ability, I need this ability as my own, like a thick fog surrounding me at all times…”
