Beast Taming Universe Survival Guide

Chapter 48 Target Discovery

"Get out of here first, and hurry."

Jiang Yong called out to Luo Man, and the two of them took off running, not stopping until the panel showed that they had exited the combat state.

The central radio station he had targeted was within Chen Yue's surveillance range. As soon as the two stopped, Jiang Yong immediately put down his backpack and pretended to operate the radio, but in reality, he was using the interstellar terminal hidden inside to transmit a message towards the radio truck.

"Chen Yue, we need your assistance here. Please respond!"

"(Buzz—) What's going on?!"

Chen Yue's flustered voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Group One has already engaged the enemy, and I'm monitoring the situation for them... Zhang Zhan, be careful, someone who knows Wood Release is circling behind you... cough cough... what is it? Speak quickly!"

"You think I don't know? You're using the channels I set up, okay?"

Jiang Yong rolled his eyes, then said urgently, "I can hear what's happening over there. They already realized they were bait, they're just stalling."

"Quickly send your Cloudbees over; I think I've found the other side's master-level opponent."

"There really are master-level players?!" *2

Not to mention Chen Yue, even Roman, who was diving nearby, was startled and almost lost his balance – what did you just do? You led me a few steps and we found a master-level expert?

We're all playing the big moth, and I'm even a level higher than you, so why are you so good?

He secretly glanced at the Spirit Cocoon, very curious about the mechanism of this never-before-seen sprite.

(~)

Noticing the astonished gaze of the other party, the Spirit Breath Cocoon wiggled its rear end smugly and performed a somersault nimbly inside the Ghost Cocoon. Unfortunately, the cocoon shell, which had long since become incredibly thick with +6 to both defenses, completely concealed its form, making it impossible for others to see it.

Jiang Yong temporarily ignored his own Pokémon's impressive maneuvers and continued communicating with Chen Yue:

"...Tell Yunyi Bee to go to the second intersection on the main road in the East District, then go south for about 500...maybe 600 meters? I can't be sure by sight, but it's a big house with a red roof, gray brick walls, and a banyan tree in the yard next to it. Did you find it?"

"We should have found it..."

"Alright, have Cloudbee circle the window and observe if there's a red-haired man with a scar on his face inside... Remember to stay far away! If there is, his mental strength is extremely powerful, and he'll be detected if you make even the slightest movement!"

"I know!"

Chen Yue's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth, and after a brief silence, it became even lower, as if afraid the other person could hear it through an antenna: "Yes!"

"I recognize him! It's 'Flame Soul' Nott!"

Apart from people like An Li, whose appearance is too deceptive and who almost never appears in public, the master-level contractors on Carlo Star are all named, and most of them are people who made great contributions in the "Final Battle" back then. They are extremely famous, and remembering the basic information of these people is an essential skill for every intelligence agent.

We finally found them!

Jiang Yong was certain in his heart that the unknown was more frightening than danger. Only by determining where the enemy's core combat power was could the rest of the matter begin to take shape.

"His radio is silent. Keep a close eye on him and don't let him out of your sight."

"it is good."

Chen Yue's expression was serious, and he decisively agreed. He realized the gravity of the situation; keeping an eye on a veteran master-level player was far more important than monitoring several expert-level team battles.

"Be careful, there might be a swarm of army ant platoon leaders monitoring the environment around him, and there are flying ants among those things."

"Understood, I'll try to avoid it... Is there anything else?"

"...Oh, right."

When Chen Yue reminded him, Jiang Yong remembered: "Take another look around him and see if there are any contractors who seem to be controlling the spirits. If so, describe their appearance to me."

If given the chance, he planned to try taking down the master of that army ant company commander, forcing Nott to choose between becoming a headless fly or being misled by his radio. However, such human informants would most likely not be too far from Nott himself, making the chance of silently killing him a small one, but he still had to be prepared for the possibility of a stroke of luck.

"Found it, there really is one, he looks something like this..."

Chen Yue quickly described the other person's appearance and clothing, then asked, "Should we keep an eye on this person too?"

"Let's try our best. He shouldn't be too far away from Nott, but our top priority is to keep an eye on Nott."

Jiang Yong secretly noted down the characteristics described by Chen Yue, then hung up the communication and used encrypted codes to transmit two signals to all team members: "Master level has been detected" and "No abnormalities at the moment." He and Roman continued to walk quickly away from Nott's location under the light fog and headed towards the radio truck.

Along the way, Roman's expression was noticeably more tense than before, and he kept glancing at Jiang Yong while silently making his way.

"Are you wondering how I determined their location and knew the specific type of their Pokémon?"

Jiang Yong felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, there are some, but I have no interest in prying into other people's privacy."

Roman coughed lightly, immediately reverting to the aloof demeanor of an elite scout: "Your performance is a bit unusual. I'd like to confirm whether you're currently under the control of the administrator."

"...You have quite the imagination."

Jiang Yong was speechless. Expert-level fighters are all important combat forces, and they are currently on a mission. How could An Li be so foolish as to use them as puppets?

Moreover, her "Spider Puppet Silk" can only control the puppet's physical movements. Even if she manages to control an expert-level puppet, she can't make it gather energy or release spirits. In her hands, an expert-level puppet is no different from one used by an ordinary person.

However, although Anli promised to provide support before setting off, she neither traveled with the team as she did last time nor joined her own radio channel. Could it be that she went into Munger Town alone?

As Jiang Yong was pondering the situation, a rapid beeping sound suddenly came from the interstellar terminal, and a similar sound came from Roman's pocket beside him.

"Group Two has encountered a problem!"

The two men were immediately alarmed, exchanged a glance, and then immediately connected to the communication.

……

"(Buzzing sound) This is Group Two. We've picked up Dark Raven." A muffled voice came out.

Nice!

Chen Yue did not send any alarm messages, which means that the second group successfully made contact with the spy right under the noses of a master-level expert who was overseeing the team!

"Dark Raven is in bad shape right now. The evidence he brought back has been handed over to us. Team three, please prepare to provide backup. We are about to evacuate to the agreed location..."

Beep beep beep beep beep!

Suddenly, Chen Yue's communication abruptly cut in, his urgent voice completely drowning out the second group's communication:

"Nott moved!"

"He stood up, he's going downstairs... he's gone out!"

"He's rushing to Group Two's location!"
