The River Beaver nodded in satisfaction, just stood up, and immediately felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, causing him to squat back down.

"Strange, why has the back of my head been aching lately? Could it be some kind of illness?"

Yang Fei looked at him directly, full of sympathy.

"Yes, sir, I'm quite worried about your health. I suggest you see a military doctor for a thorough examination."

The River Beaver shook his head vigorously.

"You're right, I should go talk to that voluptuous lady doctor for a good chat."

Once the River Beaver left the military camp, everyone couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter, even Ghost Wolf shook his head with a wry smile.

The River Beaver went to see the military doctor; afterward, two more small skirmishes erupted, but he didn't show up.

At night, after receiving a karate chop from Mad Blade, the River Beaver peacefully went back to sleep.

Everyone set out again to search for Mithril minerals, and this time they had an additional task: to uncover the identity of the person who ambushed Ghost Wolf last night.

No one knew who the opponent truly was.

For safety's sake, Yang Fei restructured the Changfeng Squad's formation from pairs to the classic three-by-three strategy.

Two in the open, one hidden, mutually supporting each other, with no more than three hundred meters between any two members.

Besides Yang Fei, the Changfeng Squad had three Core Formation to Divine Communication experts, all covering each other, infiltrating Triangle Beach, continuing the search for Mithril minerals.

Yang Fei was used to acting alone, and with his strength, he had no need to team up with others.

Before he knew it, through his serpentine movements, Yang Fei found himself by the seaside.

Moonlight like water, silver brilliance, layers of crashing waves resembling countless bouquets, rushing towards the shore, the sound on the beach roared.

At this moment, the moon hung in the sky and reflected in the sea, silver light flickering, such scenery was truly enchanting.

Just then, Yang Fei's heart suddenly stirred, a faint sense of danger came from his left side.

Yang Fei turned immediately, only to see upon a massive black reef, three or four zhang high, a person standing.

That person's black garments fluttered like a gracefully swaying bamboo.

The moonlight shone on her face with a serene clarity.

Her elegant nose and full forehead were so beautifully dreamlike under the moonlight, while simultaneously exuding a profound charm.

Chen Xingzhu!

Yang Fei was horrified, almost not believing his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and ultimately, in despair, realized.

The woman in front of him was indeed the one he had killed at Helen Palace, yet she now appeared alive before him.

Since the Demon Emperor's demise, Chen Xingzhu was arguably Yang Fei's greatest enemy within his country.

After several fierce battles, Yang Fei could never overcome Chen Xingzhu, nor could Chen Xingzhu kill Yang Fei.

Even in the Dragon Battle Arena, influenced by the Evil God's will, Chen Xingzhu and Yang Fei had even shared that kind of relationship.

There was no emotional factor; it was just a relationship between hunter and prey.

Yang Fei's expression quickly turned grave.

He had already sensed that the resurrected Chen Xingzhu not only didn't lose any Martial Arts Realm, but her aura had become even more profound and mysterious.

Her entire being radiated an elusive, unfathomable aura.

Chen Xingzhu's eyes, black and white, gazed at Yang Fei with a watery depth, her face emotionless, as if she didn't even see Yang Fei.

However, Yang Fei knew that this woman had marked him.

Her entire combat intent was restrained, yet if she were to strike, it would certainly be a thunderous, devastating blow.

The tiger, turtle, snake, elephant, ox, and phoenix on Yang Fei's body all accelerated their energy circulation.

The Essence Qi within his Niwan Palace soared straight upward like a wolf smoke, piercing into the sky.

A powerful aura spread wildly around, this was Yang Fei at his strongest state.

Chen Xingzhu didn't make a move, still calmly looking at Yang Fei, not displaying any of the once irreconcilable hatred.

The two of them gazed at each other across the crashing waves, like a venomous snake and a fierce tiger, mutually wary.

In the jungle, in such a standoff, the tiger and snake usually retreat to a safe distance and each depart.

Animals don't have as many complex thoughts as humans; if they can win, they hunt, becoming the hunter. If uncertain, they make sure to preserve themselves first.

Yet Chen Xingzhu and Yang Fei were people, possessing their own pride and dignity, as well as their unresolvable grudges.

The strange thing was, Chen Xingzhu didn't strike, just coldly watched Yang Fei, leaving her thoughts a mystery.

Finally, Chen Xingzhu sighed softly.

"Yang Fei is truly Yang Fei, even now, I don't have enough confidence to slay you and leave unscathed."

Upon speaking, the hidden killing intent vanished without a trace.

Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, his tone icy.

"Was it you who injured my brother Ghost Wolf last night?"

Chen Xingzhu looked at him coldly, then spoke without any emotion.

"I'm only interested in your life; I wouldn't bother with the others."

Without waiting for Yang Fei, she continued.

"The Wu Clan has arrived, their power is beyond your imagination."

"Consider this a piece of advice: if you don't want to die, don't target the Mithril Sky Crystal, including your subordinates."

At this point, Chen Xingzhu's gaze turned a bit colder.

"Don't doubt my intentions, your life belongs to me, I don't want you to die at someone else's hands."

Yang Fei was a bit surprised, "Wu Clan, what kind of tribe is that?"

Chen Xingzhu looked at Yang Fei expressionlessly.

"Five thousand years ago, when Cultivation Civilization was destroyed, countless cultivation races perished, yet the Wu Clan and some other tribes survived."

"During the long evolution, they consciously controlled their evolutionary path, gradually appearing human; by today, they're indistinguishable from ordinary humans."

This was a secret Yang Fei had never heard of.

"Since the Wu Clan is stronger than humans, why don't they simply wipe out humans to seize more resources?"

Chen Xingzhu sneered: "You infiltrating others' armies to secretly search for Mithril minerals, why can't the Wu Clan parasitize within human communities to complete their mission?"

Yang Fei was a bit muddled, "What mission?"

Chen Xingzhu ignored him, speaking indifferently.

"I am also a descendant of the Wu Clan; this is the clan's greatest secret. Guess, would I tell you?"

Yang Fei smiled bitterly, shrugging: "Of course not."

Chen Xingzhu coldly said, "I can only tell you that the ancient races were not completely exterminated, many left descendants."

"Generation after generation, they all have one shared mission, and this Mithril mineral is extremely important to all ancient tribes. If you value your life, stay out of it."

Yang Fei was somewhat surprised, "Are you worried about me?"
