As they spoke, a platoon of recon soldiers used the vines as ropes and decisively climbed to the cave entrance. He quietly shone a strong flashlight inside but found that the cave was deep and empty.
"No abnormalities at the entrance, no target found, but this is a complex karst cave, we need the chanical dogs to lead the way," the recon soldier said. "Requesting chanical dogs to be sent up to search the cave and scan the terrain."
The Chen Clan’s new chanical dogs can not only track but can also rely on powerful mobility to scan all the terrain they’ve seen into their intracranial chip and upload it to the processor of the hovering airship to create a holographic sand table.
This capability is tailor-made for complex terrain. Once the chanical dogs finish scanning the cave, the Chen Clan will virtually have a complete map of it.
Chen Clan soldiers set up transmission equipnt at the cave entrance and lowered the chanical dogs into the cave, over seventy of them!
The field camp commander outside gave the order: "Begin scanning the cave. They’re in this cave and won’t be able to hide for long."
But after he gave the order, no one replied.
The commander looked at the cave entrance in astonishnt, what’s going on?!
Then soone inside the cave shouted, "Commander, just now a figure flashed by, and all the chanical dogs collapsed. My button-type communicator is also damaged!"
The commander was stunned, electromagnetic pulse!
The opponent had actually anticipated that he would mobilize chanical dogs to scan the map, and took the opportunity to gather all the dogs together and then destroyed them in one blow!
In the wild, chanical dogs are much more useful than soldiers for tracking prey, and losing over seventy of them at once will blind them in the Taboo Land!
While pondering, the superior colonel issued an order: "Do not rashly enter the cave, they also won’t dare to co out. The boss has ordered to seal the entrance with foam sealant completely, your unit guards this exit, and other forces move directly to the Southwest Snow Mountain."
The commander understood, that the Demigod wanted to trap Qing Chen and others inside first and then take down the Fire Pit!
"Received," the commander shouted, "Engineer company, bring tools to seal the cave entrance!"

anwhile, Qing Chen brought Zard to the edge of the cave cliff, "Are you ready?"
Zard nodded, "I’m ready."
"Get started then."
Zard began shouting at the cliff’s edge: "Rule 008 of the Taboo Land is no crying, body fat cannot exceed 30%, no pacing with the sa side limbs, no playing dumb..."
As Zard’s voice spread, it echoed continuously in the abyss.
From beneath the abyss, there suddenly ca a dense rustling noise as if tens of thousands of insect feet were crawling on the cliff walls, along with the sound of their shell casings rubbing together.
These insects, which would never step out of the abyss on ordinary days, were all driven out by rule sanctioning, thanks to Zard!
Qing Chen looked at Zard and found his legs were trembling. Surprised, he asked, "Are you scared? You actually have sothing you’re afraid of?"
Zard stamred, "There are just too many..."
Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "You actually have sothing you’re afraid of!"
"Run!" Qing Chen turned and ran toward the No.7 cave entrance, with Zard following closely behind. Behind them, the densely packed insects, like a black tidal wave, buried every cave exit they passed.
The black insects were incredibly eerie, with a human face on their shells, as if the souls of those who had perished in the Taboo Land were all imprisoned on the backs of these bugs.
The two ran frantically, and Zard kept shouting the rules while running, both scared and excited, afraid of the number of bugs but worried they wouldn’t follow.
He chanted, "Can’t crawl on all fours, can’t... can’t what? Stead lamb, stead bear paw, stead deer tail, roasted duckling, roasted young chicken, roasted goose, stewed salty duck, soy sauce chicken, smoked belly..."
Outside the cave, the field camp was bringing the tools and chemical materials to seal the cave.
But just as two soldiers climbed back to the cave entrance, they saw soone shouting and charging out: "Get out of the way!"
With a loud crash, three people collided, and the Chen Clan soldiers outside the cave saw the soldiers who had just crawled inside being knocked out like they were hit by a train!
The commander took a close look — wasn’t the person who crashed into them the very target they were seeking to kill? Why did he co out voluntarily?
"Open fire, kill him!"
But before the words finished, a myriad of black human-faced bugs flooded out of the cave.
The commander’s scalp went numb, what the heck are these things?!
They chased after Zard, ignoring everyone else.
However, once Zard landed, he protected his head with both arms and ran in a large loop. When all the human-faced bugs crawled out of the cave, he turned around and crawled back into the cave!
The tide-like human-faced bugs wanted to rush back with him.
But after Zard went back in, he imdiately manipulated the mountain’s gravel to solidify, and forcefully blocked the cave entrance!
Commander: "?"
Outside, only the human-faced bugs and the field camp were left...
The human-faced bugs gathered at the cave entrance, desperately trying to dig in, but the sand wall constructed by an A-Class Earth Elent Awakener was impenetrable to them...
Gradually, the human-faced bugs stopped trying to dig.
They slowly turned around and, squealing, looked towards the not-so-distant Chen Clan field camp.
Now the human-faced bugs were very angry.
They’d run so far, didn’t catch anyone, and their ho was gone too!
Humans are too cunning!
In an instant, the myriad of black human-faced bugs pounced towards the field camp, the commander shouted desperately on the communication channel: "Support, request support, my unit is being attacked by unknown insect creatures!"
Inside the cave, The Grand Elder of Fire Pit looked at Qing Chen blankly: "You’ve really figured out how to use this Taboo Land..."
Qing Chen suddenly said, "I read about the human-faced bugs in the data, they were creatures used by Tinder Company to guard the research base, genetically coded with special genes. So... beneath that cliff is a secret base of Tinder Company?!"
Tinder Company is the predecessor of Tinder Military Academy and Contraindicated courts.
Qing Chen beca intrigued.
