If it had been any other part of the Magical Beast Mountains, it would have been disastrous to fly the Suspension Spray Jet around. After all, running into a strong Magical Beast, getting surrounded by a group of Magical Beasts, or accidentally barging into a Magical Beast's den would be unimaginable in such circ.u.mstances! There were so many unknown dangers in the Magical Beast Mountains, and any rash act could get one killed quite easily!

Once Steve left the Ice Tiger Magical Beast's den, he immediately put away the Suspension Spray Jet. After all, he knew that the Demon Scout Team would not be able to catch up.

"Why did the Demon Scout Team appear? Looking at their equipment, they seem to be well-prepared..." Jacob said.

"Could the Demon Scout Team be planning something big?" Steve also wondered aloud.

Both Steve and Jacob looked gloomy. Steve, in particular, frowned. It was not a good thing to meet the Demon Scout Team.

Judging from the military equipment they had, they seemed to have a special purpose for coming here. Moreover, the Demon Scout Team had dispatched 20 Night Hidden Demons as a small group of scouts. This was a telltale sign that a large-scale event was about to happen.

"We must go back as soon as possible!" Steve murmured.

"Well, I didn't expect Brandon to die in there." Jacob sighed, as the death of their employer was a big blow to their team. Moreover, Brandon's family would not let them off.

"Now, I'm not hiding my ident.i.ty anymore." Steve took out his military credentials. "I'm a soldier who is stationed on the Man Hani Battlefront. This incident is purely unexpected. I will explain the details to Brandon's family through official military procedures and channels."

The team was surprised to hear that, and they all began to offer words of grat.i.tude and thanks to Steve...

"Thanks for taking the trouble, Mr. Steve!"

"With an official explanation from the army, I'm sure that Brandon's family will accept the accident with grace."

Steve and the team rushed back to Stanlos Base Camp as fast as they could. Nearly a day later, Steve's group finally emerged from the Magical Beast Mountains.

"Mr. Steve, we will entrust Brandon's matter to you," Jacob said in a serious tone.

"You can rest a.s.sured that I will explain it to to his family. Regarding, the Demon Scout Team's suddenly dispatching a scouting team, that must mean that they are planning a big move, so I will report that as well," Steve said.

Unlike the Theodore Team, Steve was not in a hurry to return to the military base camp. After leaving, Steve pulled out the smart bracelet that he had taken from the captain of the Demon Scout Team. Steve was not interested in any of the other equipment that he had found on the captain.

"Heart of the Universe, have you cracked the smart bracelet yet?" Steve asked.

"This bracelet has an encrypted pa.s.sword that is unique to the Demon Army. It's not easy to crack," the Heart of the Universe said. "Luckily, these things aren't difficult for me."

The Demon Army had a special encryption method, whereby many of its communication devices and important files had multiple encryptions. To crack the pa.s.swords and retrieve the information in each of them was not easy. Moreover, the Heart of the Universe lacked the data of the Demon Army, so it took a bit longer to crack the smart bracelet.

Steve opened the smart bracelet and looked at the important military information found within it. His eyes glanced through the information quickly.

Most of the data had been collected by the Demon Scout Team. There were many unknown trails in it, which could even bypa.s.s the blockade of the military base camp and enter directly into the Stanlos Base Camp through the hinterland of mankind!

The more Steve looked at the information, the more worried he became. If the Demon Army marched along these trails, they would be able to go directly behind the military base camp and launch secret attacks on Stanlos Base Camp. They could even cause serious damage to the military base camp!

Besides these details, there were also some important military secrets, which made Steve even more worried!
