Chapter 347 Probing
In the interim, at the campsite of the Timber Deity Empire troops in the frontier, Alyssa and several
Commanders were pricking their ears to thetest report on Commander Sun''s activities in the tent.
"What? He failed to seize their provisions and fodders despite several attempts? What in God''s name
has Commander Sun done?" Alyssa asked, boiling with anger as her brows furrowed, discontent
written in her eyes. The pressure of this raging sea of anger was evident. It seemed that she was quite
pissed off by her subordinates'' inability to intercept the enemy''s provisions and fodders, which should
have been a walk in the park as she perceived.
"By the expression of events the Crimson Dragon Group has altered a lot in both the route and the
mode of transit. Everything is distinctive from before. They took a weird and elliptical path. We have
kept a close stare on them, but every time they managed to wriggle away. Besides, when the
provisions and fodders passed by ces where they were most prone to be intercepted, they would be
apanied by the front line troops. As a result, Commander Sun didn''t even have any golden
opportunity to triumph," the spirit maniptor who was presenting the report disclosed. The sight of the
visible fury on Alyssa''s face made him drip drops of sweat on his forehead. He was apprehensive as a
dog being attacked by a coyote that Alyssa would unleash her annoyance on him.
"Tell Commander Sun to verify the method of transit of the Crimson Dragon Group as promptly as
possible. Howeverplicated it would be, we have to pitch in disarray their supply of provisions and
fodders. It''s very paramount for our future strategies. If he fails once again, I don''t want to see him set
his foot here again," Alyssa ordered instantly.
"Yes!" The spirit maniptor bowed to her before he departed without the least hum and haw.
"What is transpiring with Rough Slope?" Alyssa summoned someone else without taking a breath.
"Your Highness, the Crimson Dragon Group hasn''t conveyed any indication of operation," a
Commander announced.
"Isis implies to be more patient than I assume she is. But we are all aware they will be stripped off the
Rough Slope sooner or afterward. I don''t assume she would just rx and twiddle her thumbs for such

a thing to arise without executing anything in an attempt to avert it. I believe she will take action sooner
orter. Otherwise, she will witness us beat the northeast military and seize Rough Slope hastily with
her own eyes," Alyssa said, blinking her beautiful eyes. Racking her brains, she lingered beyond a
reasonable doubt she would make a clean sweep.
Just as she had anticipated, ten days thereafter, the northeast military guarding Rough Slope ran out of
all food and fodders. Depression saturated the air in the whole camp.
"Commander Marin, why hasn''t the Deputy Commander in Chief dispatched troops here? She doesn''t
want us to be stuck and perish here, does she?" In confusion as a soul heavyden with a trouble that
would not depart, Deputy Commander Chen asked Marin in a tent at the military camp.
"I''m afraid the Deputy Commander in Chief is in a sticky situation too. After all, a lot of troops are
required to rescue us from the siege at Rough Slope. But it is impractical to draw out so many troops
from the front line," Marin exined considerately. She had unraveled the Timber Deity Empire''s real
ambition since they had sieged Rough Slop for many days but still hadn''tunched an attack.
Therefore, she was conscious it was back-breaking for the front line troops to rescue them from the
siege.
"If that''s the case, what''s our next move? It''s not appropriate for us to sit down and wait for death here,"
Deputy Commander Chen said, burning with anxiety, pacing back and forth like a caged tiger.
"Convey a message to the main camp and notify the Deputy Commander in Chief that we can hold up
five days at most. Five days thereafter, if she isn''tpetent to extricate us from the siege, we will
have no way out but to give up Rough Slope and try to break through." Of course, Marin would never
just stick around and watch the northeast military, which had be powerful under hermand, be
wiped out by the main force of the Timber Deity Empire. When vital, she would choose to make them
practically safe at a precise cost.
After giving her an acknowledgment, Deputy Commander Chen swung around and took off from the
tent.
Before long, in the main camp at the front line, Isis received the message from Marin. Her brows
furrowed as she was perturbed. But Rocky made her more galled with all guns zing. Several days
ago, the logistics camp had reported to her that they couldn''t trace Rocky anywhere. At the most hair-
splitting moment, when she was in greatest need of his help, he disappeared in everybody''s sight, as if
he had vanished into thin air.
"Let me administer five more days to him. If he still doesn''t manifest himself by then, I will make him
remorseful." Isis muttered to herself, infuriated like a raging storm.
Four dayster, the figure of someone that suggested to crop up from a rubble dump cropped up
outside Rocky''s residence. The man was befouled from head to toe. His clothes were worn-out in
pieces, and his hair was bedraggled. A big bag weaved by rattan was on his back, in which there were
a variety of things. It looked like he had just picked odds and ends from debris dumps.
However, he was treading on the heels by three daunting beasts. On the back of one of the beasts, a
small figure was sleeping tight.
"Ultimately, I''m surfacing back!" Rocky sighed a sigh of relief when he walked into the residence. After
removing everything from his back and body, he stretched himself to unwind. After working out for more
than two weeks in the forest, he felt like he had turned into a rough-hewn man.
"I perceive my treasures are too hungry," Rocky mumbled. As soon as they cropped up in his mind, he
went down from the courtyard to the underground den. He wanted to inspect the Queen Dark Heaven
Insect and the three Dark Heaven Insects. Before departing this cest time, he had left an
amplitude of soil enough for them to eat for half a month in the den. Now when he arrived at the den,
he saw there was no trace of any soil at all.
As rapidly as they arrayed their eyes on Rocky, the Queen Dark Heaven Insect and the three Dark
Heaven Insects besieged him. They looked as hungry as a wolf. In a hurry, Rocky reached out a bottle
filled with magical saliva and offered them a few drops to diminish their hunger slightly. Then he roughly
tidied up the den. During this process, he found all the three Dark Heaven Insects had oviposited.
There was one middle grade Dark Heaven Egg and two basic grade Dark Heaven Eggs. After picking
up the Dark Heaven Eggs, he retired back to his residence. He took a carriage to dig a lot of soils and
transported the soils back to the den.
Then Rocky began categorizing and organizing all the things he had brought back, consisting of a great
number of specimens of various species of wild spirit-manipted beasts as well as many precious
materials and exquisite matters from three-star wild spirit-manipted beasts and even some four-star
wild spirit-manipted beasts.
After he wound up all these things, Rocky had a shower. When he put on clean clothes, he felt like he
was a human being again. Since he had retreated from people''s sight for a long time, he figured out it
was time to go back to the logistics camp to review on the situation. Thus, he instructed the three
beasts to watch after Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf, while he himself took off for the logistics camp.
As shortly as Rocky sauntered into the gate of the logistics camp, he peered two men speeding to him
in haste. They pumped their legs, gaining momentum with each push. They were Thor and Joss.
"Rocky, how could you recede from view for so many days? But by good luck you''re finally here. The
Camp Director has been desperately seeking for you like a needle in a haystack. I''m hesitant he''s
about to go frantic. He said that everybody in the logistics camp will have to live on air if we still can''t
locate you." Thor shouted his lungs out as soon as he caught sight of Rocky. His voice was
as loud as the storm wind that tumbled the main.
"Why is he so nervous? What transpired?" Rocky inquired, grimacing.
"It''s best if you ask the Camp Director by yourself," Joss responded instantly.
Rocky nodded to him. Later he went to Louis'' tent. When Louis saw Rocky going into the tent, he felt
like he eventually captured a life-saving straw.
"Rocky, eventually you''re back," Louis screamed in great excitement. But very soon, he retrieved his
usualposure.
"I discovered you have been searching for me, sir?" Rocky inquired serenely.
"It''s absolutely urgent, so I''d better cut a long story short. The Deputy Commander in Chief wished to
meet you ten days ago, but I just couldn''t find you anywhere. I had no choice but to spill the beans. As
a result, the Deputy Commander in Chief sounded to be extremely resentful. Four days ago, she said
that all the members of the logistics camp would be punished if she couldn''t see you before tomorrow,"
Louis exined concisely.
