“Alright, I thank you for the information that you have provided. We will record it in your training Training Records to score a few points for you! As for your companion, we will follow up on it. If your companion is still in Hope Town, we will bring the person back as fast as we can!” The Platoon Leader brought Yue Yang and the others into an intact house. Then, he ordered some people to bring hot water and steamed buns for them. After recording the names of Yue Yang and the others, the Platoon Leader hurriedly went out.
After around half an hour, a male dressed up as a general came in.
The Platoon Leader was following behind him respectfully. Seeing the wary expressions on Yue Yang and the others, the Platoon Leader hurriedly waved. “Students, it’s fine! Our general just wanted to understand the situation on the valley floor better. This situation may not be that simple. We need you, Da Xia Empire students, to help us. Everything’s fine. Let’s all sit down and discuss!”
The general whose face was completely stern with his eyebrows furrowed also tried his best to show a smile. “Students, I’m Ma Xing Kong, you may call me Old Ma.” (Sephillia: Ma = Old Horse, Ma Xing Kong = Flying Horse)
“Old General Ma!” Ye Kong and Fatty Hai were in perfect sync as they called him with this name.
“We do not have any records of your companion. Your companion should be as lucky as you and averted this disaster. Perhaps she have not even arrived at all. Students, could you tell us what happened?” That Old General Ma extended his hand and patted the Fatty Hai’s shoulder. Then, leisuredly sat opposite of Yue Yang. He could see that within this team, this low-profile masked guy was the core of the party.
Old General Ma did not doubt this boy’s ability to survive, having a Silver-ranked Level 4 Twin-headed Demon Wolf as his pet.
With him around, it was normal for this party to arrive here safe and sound.
Even if this young lad was laying low and acting normally, but the crescent blade on his back imperceptibly exposed the fact that he was a strong person. This was, after all, a weapon usually used by Demon Generals. Within the weapon shops of the Soaring Dragon Continent, not a single store sold this kind of magic weapon…
Old General Ma knew that if he wanted to learn more about the circumstances leading to this event, this young man would perhaps offer him the best answer.
Ye Kong sipped his hot tea and acted as if he was trying his utmost to cooperate. He started to describe the situation passionately. “Originally, we wanted to cultivate and improve within the Ant Hole. But suddenly, we heard a cry for help deep within the Ant Hole sounded out by an SOS Scroll. We wanted to delve in and save them, but the Ant Hole was in chaos. There were countless Fire Red Ants around and we were instead trapped there.”
