The two of them selected a two-seater land toy car from the few available modes of transportation in Yao Beiluo. As for the carrier for the Earth Element Array, they both thought of the high-level Earth-type beast that Lin Yao had killed. Being an Earth-type beast itself, its sharp head was quite suitable for burrowing into the ground. Using its skull to create a mobile Earth Element Matrix was a perfect fit.
With a natural matrix as a foundation, Lin Yao was confident that constructing the matrix would not require complex equipment. When Academician Zheng had learned about matrices in other star systems, he either got swindled or failed to grasp the concepts thoroughly. Their matrix design did not need the complicated equipment required for Academician Zheng's energy matrices; they only needed to accurately calculate the positions of each array point, drill holes, embed the elemental crystals, and then activate the matrix.
While this sounded simple, it was quite challenging in practice. The skull of the beast was irregularly shaped, making calculations difficult. Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo spent three full days just completing the calculations for the markers. Once they marked the positions, drilling holes proved to be another challenge. The hardness of a ninth-level beast's skull was exceptionally high; aside from Lin Yao's significant level difference with it, they also lacked suitable tools. Ultimately, it was the damaged Meteor Sword that came into play, helping them painstakingly complete the drilling.
While they were busy drilling and creating the Earth Element Matrix, people on the surface of their planet did not give up searching for their whereabouts. After Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo went missing, the remaining members of the Mingguang Squad immediately joined search teams upon receiving news. Especially Wang Jincheng, who felt guilty that his own recklessness—chasing after beasts and leaving his post—had led to Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo being taken by a beast.
During this time, Wang Sanquan organized search efforts with troops from Expeditionary Force Three to find Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo, and he tirelessly followed along without rest. After searching for a week without any sign of them, other leaders in Expeditionary Force Three began to lose hope for their survival and urged Wang Sanquan to abandon the search.
Wang Jincheng and members of the Mingguang Squad argued fiercely against giving up, even proposing to search on their own. With no other choice, Wang Sanquan decided to let part of his team continue with their winter hunting mission while he personally led another group to search for Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo.
As time passed, a month went by. They had thoroughly scoured the area where Lin Yao had gone missing but still found no trace of them. This led Wang Sanquan to suspect that they might truly be dead. After all, given the vast difference in levels, their chances of surviving against a high-level beast were extremely slim.
Having spent so much time on the battlefield, Wang Sanquan had grown indifferent towards matters of life and death; however, he could not refuse Wang Jincheng and the Mingguang Squad's pleas and continued searching alongside them without much hope.
During a break in their search efforts, members of the Mingguang Squad gathered together to discuss where Lin Yao might have been taken by the beast. "We've searched this area spanning several dozen kilometers and nearly a kilometer deep; do you think our captain could still be somewhere else?" After searching for so long without finding any clues, Meng Xingchen felt increasingly anxious inside. He feared that their captain had truly been eaten by a beast; that would indeed be infuriating. "Wasn't it an advanced Earth-type beast that took our captain? Could it be that we haven't searched deep enough?"
However, when it comes to high-level earth-type abilities in the army, it was said that thick rock layers would obstruct any tracking. Even a high-level beast wouldn't be able to take two people and tunnel through the rock layers to continue downwards.
Wan Xiaoqi was in a slightly better mood than the other two, managing to maintain a degree of rationality. Just because the army's high-level earth-type ability users said it couldn't penetrate doesn't mean it was true. Perhaps that high-level beast was stronger than we imagined, not just at level eight or nine, but possibly reaching level ten or higher? Zhen Zhen stood up in frustration, speaking with some excitement.
This assumption was hardly pleasant, and Wan Xiaoqi decisively shattered her fantasy. If it really exceeded level ten, then the chances of survival for the team leader would be even slimmer. I still believe that the high-level beast must have taken the team leader and fled to a much farther place.
Knowing that what she said was true, Zhen Zhen still preferred to trust her own instincts. However, without any evidence to convince others, she could only turn her head away.
But we've expanded our search area many times over! I believe that with the team leader's abilities, she couldn't have been quietly consumed by the beast without putting up a struggle. Moreover, she had Yao Beiluo with her. Meng Xingchen added.
Did Wang Jincheng not say that the team leader was swallowed by the beast and taken away? They both lacked earth-type abilities and wouldn't dare to act during the tunneling process. The most likely scenario is that they waited until the beast finished its tunneling before they would move. Therefore, we don't need to worry about traces on the road; we just need to expand our search area as much as possible.
At this moment, Zhang Feng also chimed in: Alright, don't be too anxious. The team leader is someone who can escape from a star beast's belly; this beast likely can't do anything to her.
If they didn't hold onto such thoughts, they would have given up long ago.
Wang Jincheng, who usually talked a lot, was surprisingly the quietest during this discussion. He kept his head down in silence, exuding an aura of despair. As soon as their discussion ended, he left without saying a word.
The other members of the Mingguang Squad were aware of Wang Jincheng's psychological pressure during this time. However, since it was his mistake that led to Lin Yao and the others' disappearance, they didn't blame him; after all, it was his fault. Naturally, no one comforted him either.
Wang Jincheng walked silently to an empty place, engulfed in intense self-reproach.
At that moment, a familiar soldier approached him and said: Wang Shao.
Wang Jincheng merely looked up briefly, confirming that he didn't recognize the person before continuing to lower his head in silence.
You don’t remember me? We fought against the Five Elements Beast together that day. The soldier didn’t mind his silence and continued to move closer.
Wang Jincheng remained silent.
When your team leader was swallowed by the beast that day, I happened to see it...
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Jincheng seemed to have triggered something within him; he suddenly rushed over and grabbed the soldier by his collar, his voice hoarse as he asked: What did you say?
The soldier appeared startled by his reaction and quickly grasped Wang Jincheng's hand to protect his neck: I said I saw what that beast looked like.
What did it look like? Wang Jincheng asked excitedly.
As the first target attacked by the beast, Wang Jincheng had been facing away and only caught a glimpse of a disappearing shadow; he hadn’t seen clearly what kind of beast it was at all.
