Ning Qi and Zhao Tianlei discuss the dangers of speaking carelessly within the Demon Race headquarters. They are preparing to depart for the main camp alongside other teams, including a notable younger generation member, Zhao Haoran, who holds a position of authority. Despite concerns about potential spies within their ranks and the possibility of being assigned dangerous missions, Ning Qi remains unfazed, viewing challenges as opportunities. Upon arrival at the main camp, a massive meteorite transformed into a base, they prepare to receive their mission assignments.

“I see.”

Ning Qi merely responded with a sound.

He didn’t say anything unnecessary.

He was well aware of what Zhao Tianlei was about to say, but he had no interest in the relations of families and factions.

He was just here for training and to gather some resources to take back.

How they fight among themselves is none of his concern.

“It’s time to make arrangements.”

Zhao Tianlei, seeing Ning Qi’s response, didn’t say much but turned his attention to the front.

At this moment, someone inside the hall had already begun speaking.

Ning Qi and Zhao Tianlei stood in the area at the back of the square, making it difficult to hear what was being said deep within the hall.

Ning Qi once considered using his divine sense to probe.

But upon reaching the entrance of the hall, he realized it was unwise.

Here, arrays and restrictions were in place; any further move forward would be noticed.

It was naturally unnecessary, as their discussions were all related to the Sea Boundary Battlefield.

There was no need to take risks.

“It’s unknown when our turn will come.”

Ning Qi felt somewhat bored instead.

“Wait, only part of the people have arrived.”

“But the news of our arrival is already inside.”

“They will make arrangements for us.”

Zhao Tianlei glanced ahead and continued, “Soon, guards will give us the jade scrolls.”

“Oh, so we don’t even qualify for a word from them.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi remarked.

This was a difference in status, and also due to their weak strength, or else they wouldn’t dare treat them this way.

“Yes, our strength is lacking, and our status is also somewhat lacking.”

Zhao Tianlei said awkwardly.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as we get what we want.”

“As long as this trip isn’t in vain, and if we are cautious and work hard enough, there will be such a day sooner or later.”

Ning Qi smiled and encouraged.

“Yes, you are right, we must strive hard.”

Zhao Tianlei nodded, showing a smile.

“I wonder what these people are talking about.”

After waiting for a while, Ning Qi looked up.

At this time, there were still people discussing something in the hall.

Yet, they couldn’t hear anything from their location.

“It doesn’t have much to do with us; we just need to guard our stationed place well.”

“Prior to this, we’d gather resources from the area we are stationed at, so our trip wouldn’t be in vain.”

Zhao Tianlei said solemnly.

“By the way, if we are stationed at one place, how can we obtain resources?”

“Would the previous people here leave anything for us?”

Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

“Rich in resources, the Sea Boundary Battlefield is actually an unstable region.”

“Due to a great war ten thousand years ago, it’s been shattered.”

“That war involved myriad races, leaving numerous ruins behind.”

“Due to the shattering, many ruins have drifted into space fractures.”

“Thus, every different region periodically sees different ruins emerging from these fractures.”

Zhao Tianlei explained in one breath.

“I see, if the core regions here are guarded by those outside, wouldn’t they always reap benefits.”

“There’s no need to battle with the Immortal Race and Human Race.”

Ning Qi thought of something and asked.

“Indeed, however, to gain resources from the ruins, they still face various troubles.”

“Restrictions abound, some have puppets guarding, others are filled with mechanisms.”

Zhao Tianlei explained.

“In comparison, it’s easier for them.”

“If we are assigned to frontier areas, we’ll also face enemy attacks.”

Ning Qi spread his hands and said.

“It depends on the resource situation they encounter; if it’s rare supreme treasures, people will still break in to snatch.”

“Moreover, the Immortal Race and Human Race won’t let us succeed without a hitch.”

“They would sometimes send experts for sneak attacks; it’s very complex.”

Zhao Tianlei seriously explained to Ning Qi.

“No matter what, I hope we encounter a somewhat better place, at least it would make things easier for us.”

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile.

“Yes, however, after we set out, my father has already sent them a supreme treasure.”

“Hopefully, they’ll make good arrangements for us.”

Zhao Tianlei focused again on the front, his eyes filled with hope.

He also hoped it wouldn’t be too troublesome, allowing them to complete this training with ease.

“Look, are they distributing the jade scrolls to us?”

Ning Qi suddenly pointed ahead and asked.

At this moment, many guards were descending from the steps in front of the hall.

“Yes, they’re already distributing.”

Zhao Tianlei also looked along.

The guards had begun to distribute jade scrolls to people from different teams below.

The recipients had various expressions.

Some were happy, others disappointed.

After half a stick of incense time, it finally reached them.

Zhao Tianlei quickly received the jade scrolls from the guards.

“Proceed according to the directions shown on the compass, take your people and go directly.”

“Guard for two months; during this period, only if you’re completely obliterated will someone take over.”

The guard reminded them again before proceeding forward to distribute more jade scrolls.

“We’ll look at it later.”

Zhao Tianlei collected the compass from the jade scroll and then led Ning Qi back.

They quickly returned to the Zhao family’s fleet.
