They searched everywhere they could see, but they still could not find a single hair.
Su Yun was in the dark and they were in the light. This feeling made them very anxious. The saplings by the roadside were implicated and kicked in the waist by the white-robed men to vent their anger.
It was almost dark, and the rain was about to pour. It was not completely dark yet. It would be even harder to find when it got dark.
“Use the thermal imager!” Zero ordered the other white-robed men to use the power of technology to make Su Yun appear.
The reason why he did not take out the thermal imaging device to find Su Yun’s whereabouts immediately was because it consumed an astonishing amount of electricity. In the mountains, there might be many places that needed it.
Therefore, Zero did not let his subordinates use it. He wanted to save some electricity for the critical moment. And now was the critical moment. No matter what, he had to find the hiding Su Yun!
Buzz— Buzz—
The thermal imager they carried with them turned on, and the white-robed men held them in their hands as they investigated the forest. The convenience of high technology was obvious at a glance.
Compared to their previous search with the naked eye, they could see everything around them clearly through the thermal imager on the observation screen. A jumping wild rabbit, a fighting field mouse, a wild boar rubbing against a tree…
Everything could be seen. It greatly increased the efficiency of the search and reduced the useless search time.
Soon, Zero and the others had discovered something.
“Look, there’s a monkey squatting on the big tree on the left at two o’clock.” A white-robed man pointed at the thermal imager screen and whispered, “Is it possible that it’s the one with golden foil on its neck?”
Zero and the other people in white came over. Just from the thermal imager, they could only see a red outline. “Let’s go take a look!” Making a prompt decision, Zero led his subordinates to check. “That white monkey is clearly a pet trained by Su Yun for him. If it’s really that white monkey, we might be able to find Su Yun if we follow him!”
The truth did not disappoint Zero and the others. They quietly approached and everyone looked at the branch. Pairs of eyes were instantly lit up like neon lights. That’s right, it was the white monkey with golden foil on its neck!
Squeak squeak squeak—
At this moment, the white monkey was squatting on the tree trunk and dancing. It looked quite happy.
“Quiet, everyone. Quiet.” Through the intercom, Zero signaled his subordinates to be quiet and not scare the white monkey. After all, this monkey was the key to whether they could find Su Yun. They could not alert the enemy and scare the white monkey away.
Everyone was silent. They even tried their best to lower their breathing, afraid of disturbing this white monkey. Then, Zero gestured to his subordinate beside him. He adjusted the thermal imager to lock-on mode and followed the white monkey.
Squeak squeak squeak—
On the branch above their heads, the white monkey let out an excited cry. Its lively eyes looked at the white-robed men in the forest below. They had tried their best to disguise themselves, but they still missed out.
Actually, the white monkey had long discovered where they were hiding. Moreover, the white monkey had deliberately let Zero and the others discover its whereabouts. All of this was specially arranged by Su Yun.
Su Yun understood. Although he had hidden very well, the white-robed men would quickly find him with the advantage of their equipment. Moreover, he wanted to end this matter completely with the white-robed men.
Both sides would meet sooner or later. However, before they met, Su Yun had other plans and needed time to complete his thoughts.
The white monkey was arranged by Su Yun to attract attention outside. The white-robed men had seen the white monkey with Su Yun. If the white monkey appeared, they would naturally follow it to find Su Yun’s hiding place.
In that case, the white monkey was his “weapon” to stall for time, helping him have time to prepare his trump card. He got the white monkey to lead the white-robed men around the mountain to buy more time for him.
Time was now his greatest helper. He needed time. The more, the better. Reality proved that the white monkey was very powerful. It brought Zero and the other white-robed men around the mountain, wasting their walking and stamina.
“Hu hu hu hu—”
“Huff, huff, huff, huff—
The white-robed men followed the white monkey and quickly shuttled through the forest. All of them were so tired that they were sweating profusely and panting. They really wanted to sit on the ground and stop moving. They could do whatever they wanted!
Looking at the white monkey again, it was really very comfortable. It grabbed a branch and exerted strength, allowing it to swing onto another tree. The entire process was extremely fast, smooth, and comfortable, as if someone with OCD had seen neatly arranged furniture.
However, this was difficult for Zero and the others, who were following the white monkey on the ground in the forest. “Quick, follow, follow! Don’t fall behind!”
“Hu hu hu hu—”
Zero tried his best to lower his voice. While he tried not to shock the white monkey, he reminded his team members to follow quickly. If they lost it, all their previous efforts would be in vain. They followed the white monkey for another ten minutes.
Boom!
Boom—I !
Boom—I!!
Three earth-shattering bangs sounded from the sky.
Poof, poof, poof—
Countless birds were frightened by the thunder. They quickly took off from the branches in the forest, leaving behind swaying branches. After the thunder, heavy rain poured down.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
The canyon, which had already fallen into darkness because of the sunset, became even more obvious because of the heavy rain. It looked even more winding and dangerous.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
The sound of rain hitting the leaves added to the terrifying atmosphere in the
deep canyon..
