The entire camp area was almost completely destroyed in the accident a few days ago.
The courtyard where captain Wu Meng lived was also rebuilt, but its location remained unchanged. It didn't take much time for Chen Hai to find a place.
The door to the courtyard was wide open. In the courtyard, Wu Meng, half-lying on a lounge chair with his shirt off, fell into Chen Hai's eyes immediately.
"Captain Wu Meng, my subordinate Chen Hai wants to see you!" After cupping his fists and saluting Wu Meng's position, he took big steps and stepped directly into the courtyard inside.
Anyone who has a certain understanding of Wu Meng will have a bit of disdain for him.
The same is true for Chen Hai, but after all, he is his direct superior. No matter how he views this person in his heart, at least on the surface, he is still polite and needs to maintain some respect for this person.
"Chen Hai? Aren't you already missing?" Wu Meng, who was humming an unknown tune leisurely, jumped up from the recliner.
The agility of his movements, not to mention the immortal level, even ordinary golden immortals would probably feel a little inferior when seeing the scene in front of them.
"Wu Meng, like me, has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, hiding his strength?"
At this moment, Chen Hai suddenly had such a strange idea in his heart.
Wu Meng has always displayed a level of strength that is in the middle stage of immortality.
Just now, he jumped up from the recliner so fast that even Chen Hai felt that if he followed the same pattern, he might not be able to do it as smoothly as him.
"Captain Wu, there was chaos in the camp that day. I was chased and killed and got into an abandoned mine."
"The reason why I have no news during this period is mainly because I lost my way in the mine and couldn't get out for a while."
…
Chen Hai remembered the speech he had prepared a long time ago and knew it by heart.
Regardless of whether the captain Wu Meng in front of him is really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to hide his strength, it has nothing to do with him.
Stopping a few steps in front of Wu Meng, he calmly explained.
"You have been in the mine these past few days? I understand, I understand!"
"It seems that you and I are of the same mind. To be honest, during the scuffle that day, I, Mr. Wu, also hid far away."
"In that melee that day, at least dozens of captain-level cultivators in our enemy's camp died at the hands of the Demon Palace."
"Those guys have a bunch of problems in their heads. They don't understand at all. For practitioners like us, money, wealth, fame, and fortune are all nothing."
"Only the word 'Gou' is the true meaning of cultivation. As long as I live long enough and survive everyone to death, then I, Wu Meng, will be the strongest person in the world."
"I originally thought that I was the only one who walked the path of Gou Dao. Now it seems that I am not alone in my path. Brother Chen seems to have quite a lot of experience in Gou Dao."
"Since ancient times, it has been hard to find a comrade, and it is hard to find a confidant. If there is a chance, you and I should talk by candlelight at night and have a good discussion!"
…
Wu Meng's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he had imagined from Chen Hai's words.
After looking Chen Hai up and down for a few times, he seemed to be pleased with his intentions, and with a warm expression on his face, he moved out a chair and motioned for Chen Hai to sit down and chat.
"Captain Wu, I went into the abandoned mine that day. I was really forced and had no other choice. I didn't hide on purpose because I was afraid of the battle."
"I came here to explain this to you. I just wanted to report it to the superiors through you, the captain."
"As for Taoism and so on, I really don't know anything about it. Don't embarrass me about Taoism or anything like that!"
After being stunned for a while, Chen Hai finally braced himself and explained.
Although he said it politely, deep down in his heart, he had already begun to curse.
Although Wu Meng has always had a weird temperament, Chen Hai really didn't expect that this person would be so weird.
He only stayed in the mine for more than ten or twenty days. If Yuji hadn't stopped him from leaving, he might have come out and returned to the ground long ago.
How could such a little thing come to Wu Meng's mouth and become like-minded with him?
"Report to the superior? It's just a small matter."
"Don't worry, Chen Hai. Since you have returned to the team, I will naturally help you resolve the issue of your identity."
"Don't fool me and say you don't understand the Tao!"
"You have already become a heavenly being tomorrow, but you have only shown your strength in the earthly immortal realm. How could you do such a thing if you don't know the word "gou"?"
"For us Taoist people, every time we avoid a disaster, our strength will be significantly improved."
"You have been hiding in the mine for so long, and now you are already in the late stage of immortality. There is no point in being secretive in front of me. It is better to open the skylight and speak frankly!"
With a smile on his face, Wu Meng spoke again and spoke slowly.
"This..." For a moment, Chen Hai's expression changed several times.
He unconsciously took a few steps back, his face full of caution, staring at Wu Meng in front of him.
All along, he has used breath-condensing techniques to hide his own strength, which can be said to be almost unfavorable.
Not to mention the Celestial Immortals at the same level as him, even the Golden Immortals who are a level higher than him, no one can directly see through his true state at a glance.
At this moment, the words coming out of Wu Meng's mouth really shocked him.
Before, he only guessed that Wu Meng was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to hide his strength, but now, he was 100% sure that this guy was definitely not just a mid-level immortal.
Without saying a word, Chen Hai looked directly at Wu Meng in front of him. He was already prepared to use the golden dragon scissors to kill Wu Meng immediately if the situation went wrong.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.
After all, it is broad daylight now, and this place is the center of the enemy-defeating camp filled with strong men. If the golden dragon makes a move, it will definitely be noticed by the strong men guarding the camp immediately.
Although the Golden Dragon Scissors are powerful, Chen Hai has been able to kill the Golden Immortal with this weapon, but if he meets Da Luo, he might not be very good at it!
With all these concerns, he would naturally not take action casually unless he was forced to do so and had no other choice.
"Brother Chen, don't be nervous. It's rare to meet a person of the same mind. I'm just happy to see you. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."
"To be honest, during the melee that day, in order to avoid danger, I jumped into the pit."
"Compared to you, Brother Chen, I am actually worse off being soaked in the smelly water full of gold."
"But so what? Compared with those who died, I am not only alive and well, but I have also made little progress in terms of strength!"
Wu Meng chuckled. In order to better communicate with Chen Hai, he did not care about his face. He even exposed his own embarrassing things.
Chen Hai was stunned when he heard what he said.
Just when he was about to speak and respond a few words, Wu Meng in front of him, like a frightened cat, darted several times in a row, and then rushed into the kitchen in the yard.
"Where is Wu Meng? I have been ordered by Master Jin Mantang to assist in the investigation and come to our law enforcement hall!"
A soft shout spread into the courtyard, and immediately after, several figures appeared at the door of the courtyard and strode in.
