Death… And Me Chapter 1448 - Digging Point

Chapter 1448 - Digging Point

Briget then jumped back to the eagle and was received with her brother's expression of disapproval. 'You're too reckless. What if it was a trap?'

Briget couldn't help but scratch the back of her head when she heard that. 'Sorry. However, it's true. I can't see anything at all with my eyes.'

Carion sighed and didn't dwell on the topic. 'It's fine. It works, so it's good.' With that, he looked back at Rean. "This hiding skill is indeed impressive. However, Divine Senses from Void Transformation Realm cultivators can reach further than their own vision. What's the point?"

Rean shook his head as he replied, "The only reason your Divine Senses can see us is that you're very close to Kentucky, Roan, and me. If you go twenty or so meters away, you won't be able to see us with your Divine Senses anymore. Again, you are invited to give it a try."

Carion shook his head. He already understood that Rean wasn't joking around. "No need. Since you can do that, it's obviously much better for us. Tell me, would you be willing to use this skill in the Under Desert Sea?"

Rean nodded, telling him, "I would do it even if you didn't want to. Since I can avoid most of the trouble by doing that, why should I not use this skill?"

"That's good, then." Carion had nothing to complain about, obviously. "It's good that you can keep us hidden with it. Though, with my information about the patrol routes and times, I hope we don't even need them before starting digging."

After that, Carion shared the information about the route they would take and had Kentucky follow his eagle from close behind. Just like that, their group headed to the top side of the Under Desert Sea, close to the continental barrier.

However, not long after the twins entered the protected area, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky narrowed their eyes, asking, "Didn't you say you knew the routes without the patrolling cultivators? How come we can feel some Divine Senses scanning our location?"

Carion was taken aback. "What?! I can't sense anything."

"That's because you're in the range of my Anti-Divine Sense skill. The cultivators' Divine Senses can't reach you and your sister since I'm stopping it. However, since I'm the one redirecting their Divine Senses, I can feel their presence. There are at least five Divine Senses touching my barrier, which is most likely a patrol team," Rean told them.

Carion and Briget looked at each other and said, "We can only think about one possibility. The patrolling routes and times have been changed."

Roan snorted in response. "Or perhaps your information had never been genuine as you said."

Carion didn't blame Roan for thinking like that. If he was Roan, he would think the same. "I understand what you mean. However, I insist on what I said earlier. The information we got was genuine. Although I can't explain how we did it, you must know that the way we got this information leaves room for no mistake."

Unfortunately for them, Carion didn't expect that Rean and Roan would pick up on some clues with just those words. 'Oh! Look, Roan, they stole the information!' Rean said through their Soul Connection.

Roan nodded, saying, 'Indeed. There shouldn't be many ways cultivators at their level could acquire this information. They simply don't have the authority nor the background for it. In the end, only stealing is left. I'm not 100% sure, but it's still quite impressive that they acquired the information without being caught.'

Rean agreed with Roan. 'Yes. Then again, it's quite unfortunate that the cultivators protecting this area probably noticed that the information was stolen. After all, it would be too much of a coincidence if they simply decided to change their routes and times just as we were coming. This might even be connected to why Carion and Briget wanted to leave the continent.'

'Clearly,' Roan thought the same. 'At the very least, I can't pick up any signs of lies from them. Of course, there's one more option. The information they thought to be genuine was wrong from the very start. It's just that they don't know about it.'

Rean then smiled at Carion after that, saying, "Don't worry. We trust that you aren't lying. It's just that I find it too risky to steal information, so you better be more careful next time. It's obvious that the enemy noticed it and changed their routes."

Carion looked at Rean with a surprised expression. "How..."

Rean cut him there. "Let's just say you worded your response wrongly. Anyway, that makes me curious. Is the information about the Under Desert Sea the real deal? Because if it was stolen from the same place, we might be in for a huge ambush."

Carion and Briget immediately nodded. "The information about the Under Desert Sea is related to our father. It has nothing to do with the stealing of the patrolling routes and times."

Rean didn't insist. "Since you say that, let's believe it for now." Though, Rean and Roan kept the Divine Sense bending skill active to detect more of the guards. If there was an ambush waiting for them at the digging point, they would find it straight away.

Rean then had the Eagle and Kentucky fly much higher than before, trying to avoid any possible Void Tempering Realm cultivator close to the ground. That also allowed them to pick up a point with relatively no surveillance, thanks to the Divine Sense bending skill. In the end, they had to land around 50 kilometers away from the point Carion wanted to dig, but it wasn't considered a big difference when one took the Under Desert Sea's size into consideration.

Carion then took a jade slip out of his spatial ring and took a look inside before nodding. "This is good enough. Leave the excavation to me. Don't worry, I'll cover the area behind us." He then looked at Kentucky, who was much bigger than the Purple Eagle. "However, it might take some time to bring Kentucky as well, so be patient."

"Oh, is that an issue?" Rean asked with a smile. Suddenly, Kentucky vanished from their sight. "Done.. Now you don't need to care about him anymore."
