Song Heguo's plan to support Dan Nan and his group's deep penetration into the White Elephant Kingdom's territory was naturally unknown to them at the moment.
After Han Lang and the others all returned, Dan Nan immediately relayed Song Heguo's orders.
"Everyone, after speaking with Commander Song, he hopes that while we do our best to preserve ourselves, we will do our utmost to stall the White Elephant Kingdom and the psychics' plan to open up a border battlefield. Because our current number of soldiers cannot support three battlefields simultaneously, do you have any thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
They all knew what Song Heguo meant.
It was to use their special operations team to prevent the White Elephant Kingdom from establishing a new border battlefield as much as possible.
But the problem was, they were already exposed, and the difficulty of undertaking such a mission would certainly be immense.
Therefore, everyone showed such anxious emotions.
After a long while,
Han Lang said leisurely.
"How about we postpone our withdrawal plan and find a way to tie down the psychic forces?"
Everyone was confused.
"How do we tie them down? After all, there are only seven of us! What if the psychics mobilize more high-level psychics? Our situation would be extremely perilous!"
Han Lang smiled slightly.
"We are already exposed, so direct confrontation is definitely not an option. However, being few in number also has its advantages! And in this dense forest, as long as we stick together, we can still carry out harassment against the White Elephant Kingdom and the psychics from time to time, right?"
Hearing this, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Dan Nan.
"You mean, we fight them with guerrilla tactics?"
Guerrilla tactics?
Upon hearing this name, everyone's spirits instantly lifted.
"Great! We are the ancestors of guerrilla warfare! Chairman Mao's guerrilla tactics have achieved remarkable success in previous wars! I think this method is feasible!"
Ma Long said excitedly.
"I think it's possible too. Hit and run, the psychics might not be able to catch us. Even if they ignore us and continue with their plan to open up the battlefield, we can use these few months to improve ourselves. Then, when their base is built, we can give them another battle like today, and make them completely overwhelmed?"
Soon, everyone agreed with the plan.
Dan Nan said directly.
"Thus, we will temporarily decide on this. For subsequent issues, we will still make plans based on the future situation. In any case, the withdrawal plan must always be ready. No matter what, you young people must not perish on foreign soil!"
Hearing this, Han Lang and the others were deeply moved.
Then Dan Nan looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and continued to ask.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, are there any safe places nearby for us to hide? Since we are planning for a long-term battle, we need to rest and recuperate properly when it's time to rest!"
Upon hearing this question, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately replied.
"Yes, I didn't have time to say. Tang Qin and I just discovered a cave by the mountainside. We investigated it roughly, and it should be enough for us to rest for a while."
Hearing this, Dan Nan immediately ordered.
"Good! Then we will withdraw immediately. I estimate that the psychics and the White Elephant Kingdom's army will also take action against us tomorrow. We need to hurry and rest to prepare for the subsequent battles!"
After speaking, everyone, led by Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin, headed towards the cave.
The outer area of the cave was a rock cavern. Apart from some trees for basic concealment, it had no significant defensive capabilities.
However, fortunately, the rock cavern was quite large, and it was perfectly fine to accommodate Han Lang and the seven of them to rest.
In addition, in the middle of the rock cavern, there was a dark opening. At a glance, the situation inside was unclear, exuding a chilling aura.
"Due to the time constraint, Tang Qin and I did not explore the depths of the cave. We don't know where this cave leads specifically. Deputy Officer Dan, do you think we should rest here in the rock cavern for a while, or should we go in and take a look?"
Before Dan Nan could make a decision, Han Lang, who had been leisurely swaying at the cave entrance, suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.
"Huh? That's not right! How come I feel that amidst the cold aura emanating from this cave, there's a very strong spiritual energy fluctuation?"
Hearing this, Dan Nan didn't have time to reply to Liu Xiaoxiao. He immediately strode to Han Lang's side and carefully sensed the aura at the cave entrance.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face.
"That's right! Amidst this wispy cold aura, there are indeed spiritual energy fluctuations. Perhaps there's a spiritual vein here too! Come on, let's go in and take a look!"
After speaking, he took the lead and drilled in.
Han Lang and Tang Geng followed closely.
Zhao Wu and Ma Long also tacitly walked behind Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin, covering their rear.
After all, the cave was pitch black. Besides using their divine senses to discern directions, they mainly wanted to take care of the two girls' innate fear of the dark.
As everyone went deeper, they discovered.
The further they went, the larger the space of the cave became, and the deeper the darkness.
It even reached a point where one could not see their hand in front of their face.
"The spiritual energy fluctuations here are getting stronger and stronger. We might have to continue forward. Xiaoxiao, Tang Qin, are you okay?"
Dan Nan's words were naturally meant to take care of the girls.
After all, such a pitch-black environment would inevitably make people feel a bit oppressed and fearful.
"No problem, Deputy Officer Dan! Just go ahead. We are cultivators after all, our minds are not that fragile!"
Hearing this, Dan Nan and the other boys like Han Lang couldn't help but smile. Then, maintaining their formation, they continued to move forward while carefully taking care of Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin.
Soon, everyone reached the end of the cave.
Although they couldn't see the situation here, the strong spiritual energy fluctuations made everyone rejoice.
"This feels like a spiritual vein, no doubt!" Ma Long was the first to get excited.
However, before his words could finish, Dan Nan immediately warned.
"Don't let your guard down. Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, haven't you noticed the strong fishy smell that permeates the air? I don't know if there's anything else here! Does anyone have fire? Light it up and let's see!"
Zhao Wu immediately stepped forward.
"There are a few large lights here. But I don't know about their battery life. They might not last the whole night."
"Then turn them on and let's see the situation first!"
With Dan Nan's permission, Zhao Wu did not hesitate and immediately took out several large lights from his storage ring and turned them on.
The light instantly illuminated the entire cave.
Similar to what everyone had sensed with their divine senses, the cave was very spacious, and it could even accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded.
In the center of the cave was a small pool. The water in the pool was milky white and was even bubbling.
After everyone studied it carefully for a while, Dan Nan's entire face was replaced with surprise.
"It's actually Earth Spirit Milk! That's great!"
