Chapter 706: Chapter 716: So It Was Him

The fox was symbiotically linked with her space, and when she placed items into it, the fox could sense it too. After leaving a message for the fox, Bai Junjun began to climb down at a speed that rivaled that of monkeys.

She didn’t even have to exert much effort; simply by controlling her Special Ability, the vines would automatically lower her down. It was like riding an elevator; her only job was to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Finally, after a pursuit, Bai Junjun caught sight of the cloak man’s figure once again.

By now, he had nearly reached the bottom of the cliff. Through the dense forest, one could see a river below the cliff, beside which lay a large sandbank dotted with many Stilted Buildings.

Bai Junjun stopped advancing when she saw the Stilted Buildings, choosing instead to quietly observe from the vines.

She noticed that the Stilted Buildings were full of guards. Some, on seeing the cloak man approach, drew their crossbows warily, while others aimed a dark object from atop the Bamboo Tube Building at him.

It wasn’t until the cloak man revealed something from his waist that these guards lowered their guard.

After that, under the watchful eyes of many, he passed through the Stilted Buildings and entered a cave in the stone mountain.

Seeing this, Bai Junjun felt even more overwhelmed.

There were a total of ten Stilted Buildings, each manned by four or five people.

Of course, these people were not intimidating enough to be feared; what was alarming were those round, dark objects behind them, which, if she wasn’t mistaken, were damned cannons, right?

Bai Junjun was incredulous. She reached out and grabbed the large python that had been eyeing her menacingly since her descent.

She casually threw the python in front of the Stilted Building, and the next second, cannons from the Stilted Building targeted it, unleashing a barrage of rapid fire.

Projectiles glowing with a faint light fell like raindrops, and the several-meter-long python was skewered into a porcupine before it had a chance to struggle, falling silent.

Yet, the people did not relax their vigilance and continued to scan their surroundings cautiously.

Eventually, eight men descended from two of the Stilted Buildings. They gathered around the python, inspecting it.

"This area was clearly sprinkled with sulfur; how could a python appear?"

"I’m guessing the Chief lured this snake here. Since it’s free food, we might as well eat it."

"Hmph, to make a racket in front of our rotating shooting machine is truly ignorant."

"Hey, what’s going on!"

Suddenly, a voice inquired from the sky.

Instinctively, Bai Junjun looked up and saw that behind the Bamboo Tube Building, on the cliff wall, there were many man-made caves, each hiding its own traps.

These people were armed with different weapons, and they only showed their heads after hearing the noise.

Now Bai Junjun realized that this place was not as easy to breach as the Fahua Temple or the Dongsheng Tavern.

If she were to force her way in, she might not reap any benefits.

Probably, all the master copies of the works involving the Affairs of His Majesty had been replicated inside this mountain cave.

She never would have guessed that Yuwen Jun would be so audacious as to secretly build an underground military research facility here.

Bai Junjun lingered in the area for a long time, until the people on the cliff had all returned, and the guards had processed the python and went back inside the Stilted Buildings. Only then did she make her way back the same route.

She reached the top and didn’t hurry to leave, instead she continued to watch until the cloak man reappeared. Bai Junjun followed him all the way back to Dongsheng Tavern, watched him return to his room, and then slowly withdrew.

The cloaked elder was none other than Manager Qiao—ready to retire and return home.

She never would have guessed that this man was actually a martial arts expert.

Now that she knew who he was, stealing the Token from him would be much easier.

However, it wasn’t until Bai Junjun left that she belatedly realized the fox had not appeared at all!
