Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 178: Cooperate First (Part 2)

Song Yan's eyes lit up at that moment. She instantly realized how brilliant Wang Sheng's question was, and suddenly she took the initiative.

The elders' assigned task certainly didn't tell Song Yan the truth, so Song Yan didn't know the details. She only knew that she was searching for valuable targets in the Thousand Absolutes Territory, nothing more.

But Song Zhiming and the others were definitely different. They must have received detailed instructions from the elders and knew what to look for.

Wang Sheng's counter-question cornered Song Zhiming and the other expert. It wouldn't be appropriate to tell Wang Sheng and Song Yan, but not telling them would clearly indicate that they didn't want to cooperate. This put the two in a bit of a dilemma.

"Actually, we are just looking for something valuable. There is no specific target, just like the royals," the other expert quickly recovered from the embarrassment and replied nonchalantly.

"The royals are not searching aimlessly," Wang Sheng shook his head directly. "Neither is Triumph Palace. Their targets are very specific, and the search area is limited to within a few dozen miles. Unlike you, we have searched three or four hundred miles."

Wang Sheng directly exposed the other party's excuse and said very seriously, "If you just have this kind of attitude, then I guarantee you won't find anything."

Song Zhiming and the other looked at each other, face to face. Wang Sheng's words were not perfunctory, but a threat. The thing they were looking for was so hidden that without Wang Sheng's help, they couldn't even detect a trace.

For example, they didn't feel that the jungle had become denser or the creatures had become more active. Only an old hand like Wang Sheng could detect the abnormality in the forest. In this case, should they tell him or not?

The two looked at each other again, and Song Zhiming finally gritted his teeth and said to Wang Sheng and Song Yan, "Actually, we are looking for a habitat that can accommodate hundreds of people, preferably to establish an outpost, so that we can explore a larger area next time we come in."

Finding a place to settle hundreds of people was true, but the reason behind it was half true and half false.

Wang Sheng and Song Yan immediately understood that the elders probably suspected that the missing patriarch was alive and well inside the Thousand Absolutes Territory.

"So that's it!" Wang Sheng stroked his bald chin and said, pondering, "If it's just to find a place, then it's simple. However, if I find it, what benefits will I get?"

Hearing Wang Sheng say it was simple, Song Zhiming and the expert were overjoyed, but when Wang Sheng asked about the benefits, they were immediately embarrassed.

Wang Sheng really didn't lack gold coins. What he wanted was either pills to improve his cultivation or advanced techniques. Not to mention Song Zhiming, even if all the Song family members present were added together, they wouldn't have the authority to decide on these things.

Looking up, Song Zhiming saw Song Yan, who was silent beside Wang Sheng, and suddenly had an idea. He suddenly said, "If we find it, we will jointly propose to the elders to let you marry Little Yan, how about that?"

When needed, Song Zhiming also knew to call the rude Miss Song Yan "Little Yan" to make it sound intimate.

Song Yan was about to object, but Wang Sheng laughed and said, "Deal! Let's do it!"

Song Yan was immediately ashamed and wanted to scold Wang Sheng a few words, but she didn't know what to scold, so she could only blush and turn to the side, never looking at Wang Sheng again.

A storm that almost caused a conflict between the two sides was dispelled by Wang Sheng's agreement, but both sides secretly became more careful and dared not reveal any flaws again.

"Who is proficient in formations?" After reaching an agreement, Wang Sheng immediately regained his leadership position and shouted.

Immediately, a Song family disciple stood up. He was at the fifth level of cultivation, which was considered a slightly lower cultivation level among those who came in. He may have come in precisely because he was proficient in formations.

"Pay attention to various terrains along the way to see if they are suitable for arranging large formations," Wang Sheng instructed. "Especially defensive formations and concealment formations. Don't consider offensive formations for now."

The formation expert nodded and retreated back into the ranks.

More than twenty people paid close attention at the same time, and the effect was of course different from Wang Sheng and Song Yan. Moreover, Song Yan and Wang Sheng no longer had to be sneaky, and the efficiency directly increased several times. It couldn't be said that they would find it immediately, but at least Wang Sheng could rule out some areas.

Everyone also discussed that if they wanted to settle so many people, the most suitable place would be a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. This position should be as hidden as possible, and not too high, otherwise it would be attacked by flying monsters. It should not be too low, as the climate in the Thousand Absolutes Territory is changeable and there are often floods. If it is too low, it will be flooded.

In short, there are two principles: first, it must be close to mountains and rivers to facilitate supply. It is impossible to bring all the food and water from outside. Second, there must be strong defensive terrain, coupled with strong defensive formations, to gain a foothold in the Thousand Absolutes Territory.

Without Wang Sheng thinking about it, the Song family would naturally figure it out. Several small mountains passed by, and there were several that met the requirements, but Song Zhiming shook his head directly and was always able to pick out some unsuitable places to reject them.

They had been wandering around this area for more than ten days, and it had been almost a month in total, but the Song family had no intention of turning back. Wang Sheng didn't urge them, anyway, he just stayed with Song Yan when he had nothing to do, letting the Song family see a man who was so fascinated by Song Yan that he didn't know where he was.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

Song Yan became anxious again, but under Wang Sheng's reminder and cover, Song Yan cleverly hid her emotions and didn't let everyone notice.

This day, everyone was heading towards a small mountain. The height of the small mountain was suitable for building a camp on the side of the mountain wall, so naturally they had to go and see.

When they were still three or four miles away from the small mountain, Wang Sheng suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and the fighting consciousness villain warned him out of thin air.

Not only was it a warning, but it was also an extremely dangerous one. However, it only appeared suddenly, and by the time Wang Sheng felt it, it seemed to be a little late. There were warnings in all directions, and they were slowly surrounding them towards the center.

What kind of monster is this? It can even ambush? It can hide and suddenly jump out from all directions when the time is right. Judging from this hunting posture, it should be a powerful pack of wolves. The question is, what level of pack of wolves can make the fighting consciousness villain use this almost highest level of alarm warning?

Just as he was about to remind them, the formation expert from the Song family suddenly whispered, "Don't move!"

Everyone stopped and looked at the formation expert. They watched him probe several times in the front, back, left, and right directions, and also took out a formation stone and fiddled with it somehow. Then, facing the direction they had just been traveling, he said with a face full of joy, "In that direction, there is a very slight formation fluctuation!"

Hearing this, everyone was immediately excited. What did formation fluctuations mean?
