697 Stabilize the Morale
Derek Dole could not help but shake his head. “No matter what, it’s best not to enter that forest for now. It’s simply too dangerous. Since Captain Liu and the other top experts are temporarily unable to return, it means that there’s something unusual inside the forest. I think it’s best for people like us who aren’t as strong as them to not enter the forest rashly. Otherwise, something will likely happen and bring danger to us.”
“That’s right! Murong Xue, you may be the strongest among us, and your defense is also excellent, but are you on par with the captain and the other six top-tier Masters?” Chu Cunrui agreed.
“I also feel that it’s not very appropriate.” He Yang nodded and said, “The forest to the south of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat is too strange. We can’t enter. Why don’t we wait a little longer? Maybe they will come back tomorrow morning.”
“It’s only the first day,” Jin Cheng said. “We can wait and see. There’s no need to rush. However, we can also take some measures. We can take some measures on a stable foundation.”
After listening to their opinions, Luo Qingcheng also nodded, “That’s right. We’re not sure about the situation on Captain Liu’s side. He might have run into some trouble, but he should be able to deal with it. If even his top experts can’t deal with it, then there’s nothing we can do. At this time, we should prioritize safety. Liu Yan and the others might have already run into trouble, so we can’t let anything happen on our side and add to the chaos.”
Sun Wen thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we send an expert to the southern forest to observe tomorrow during the day? If Captain Liu and the others come out, we could receive them. They might need help.”
“I also think it’s feasible.” Derek Dole nodded and said, “However, I feel it’s best not to enter the forest. When we were observing the forest, we had a faint bad feeling. Something might not be right, so it’s best not to enter. Captain Liu and the others are all top-notch experts. They are powerful and might be able to solve their problems if they encounter them. Our strength is not as good as theirs. If we encounter those problems, we might lose our lives.”
When Luo Qingcheng heard this, she immediately agreed, “This is a good idea. We can observe the forest, and if Liu Yan and the others come out injured and need help, we can help them immediately. At the same time, we can ensure our safety by not entering the forest. The habitat of the Whirlwind Turtles is relatively safe during the day.
Luo Qingcheng knew fierce beasts and other similar creatures would be more active at night, and the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtle was not very safe.
However, it was much better during the day. After all, this place used to be the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtles. The Whirlwind Turtles were quite strong, and there were many of them. They lived in the group, so the other fierce beasts did not dare to enter this place and offend the Whirlwind Turtles.
Even if other fierce beasts were stronger than the Whirlwind Turtles, they would not take the initiative to invade the Whirlwind Turtles’ habitat.
After all, the other fierce beasts would suffer great losses once the battle started.
Because of this, the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtles during the day was still relatively safe.
Of course, if the rest of the beasts found out that the Whirlwind Turtles here had been exterminated, then this place might not be safe anymore.
However, at least for now, the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtles was still relatively safe during the day.
When Murong Xue learned they could send people there to observe and provide support, she was instantly interested.
“Then I’ll go. My strength is not bad.” Murong Xue took the initiative to request.
Sun Wen looked at Murong Xue suspiciously, “Your strength is enough to carry out this mission, but are you sure you don’t want to enter the forest?”
Sun Wen didn’t trust Murong Xue that much. Even though they had only been teammates for a short while, Sun Wen had observed Murong Xue’s personality and roughly understood her.
Murong Xue was bold and impulsive. She wasn’t afraid of anything.
Even if there were a threat in the forest, based on Murong Xue’s personality, she would take the risk and barge in.
Not to mention now, they were unsure what kind of threat was in the forest. They were only suspicious.
When Murong Xue heard this, she immediately nodded. “If you don’t want me to enter the forest, then so be it. I’ll wait outside.”
However, Murong Xue thought that since there would be no one watching over her, she might as well sneak into the forest to investigate.
She thought she would not be in danger if she didn’t go deep into the forest and only explored the periphery.
In any case, even if there were danger in the forest, it would be in the depths.
The outer forest was not dangerous.
However, the reason why Murong Xue wanted to explore this place this time wasn’t because of her curiosity or adventurous thoughts. She was indeed worried about Liu Yan and the others. She wanted to see if there were any traces left behind by Liu Yan and the others so that she could find them and even save them.
When Sun Wen heard Murong Xue’s words, he still didn’t believe her. However, he didn’t say anything.
Derek Dole, who was standing at the side, was more straightforward. He couldn’t help but say, “That’s just what you say. Who knows what you’ll enter…”
When Murong Xue heard this, she immediately grew anxious and hurriedly said, “Derick Dole, what are you saying? You don’t trust me at all?”
He Yang couldn’t help but say, “We need to entrust an expert. That person doesn’t have to be too skilled. After all, they are only there to support. They are not going to fight.”
“I feel the same way. It’s a waste of talent to let Murong Xue go over.” Jin Cheng said.
The two were echoing each other, and their intentions were clear. They didn’t want Murong Xue to carry out this mission. They felt that although Murong Xue was strong, she wasn’t too reliable.
When Murong Xue saw this, she was enraged. Why were these people targeting her?
“You guys are doing this on purpose, right? You guys are too much!” Murong Xue spoke in a slightly vexed tone.
At this time, Luo Qingcheng said, “Alright, Murong Xue, you don’t have to go. Sun Wen and Derek Dole will be in charge of this task. They were the ones who surveyed the surrounding terrain. Let the two of them carry out the task.”
Then, Luo Qingcheng looked at Derick Dole and Sun Wen. “The two of you must also remember not to enter the forest. You can not enter the outer regions of the forest either. The two of you just need to wait at the edge of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat. If Liu Yan and the others come out, you can go and receive them. If you encounter any trouble, ask for reinforcements. Murong Xue and the other experts will be on standby. The moment you need reinforcements, they will immediately send reinforcements over.”
“Alright, don’t worry.” Sun Wen replied.
Don’t worry. We understand. We’ll play it safe.” Derek Dole nodded in agreement.
Luo Qingcheng nodded slightly. They had settled this issue. No matter what happened to Liu Yan and the others, their strength was limited. What they could do now was limited if they wanted to be safe. It was the only way.
Team Origin didn’t know what was going on with Liu Yan and the others. If they knew, it would be much easier to deal with.
For example, if Liu Yan and the others were in trouble, Luo Qingcheng would not hesitate to save them. Even if she would sacrifice her life, she would not hesitate.
But now that the situation was unknown, they could only make such arrangements to be safe.
Immediately, Luo Qingcheng instructed the experts not to mention these things in front of the ordinary members. They must pay attention to stabilizing the morale of ordinary members at this time.
The experts and the management understood the importance of morale and agreed.
Immediately, Luo Qingcheng dismissed the meeting.
