(Two in one) The quick-drying clothes wrap his upper body, outlining his muscle line so enviable that people can’t bear to look at it more than once
…
The Deputy Captain felt as if he was being ridiculed, but when he looked at Lu Liran, he didn’t say anything. It seemed like it was just a suspicion.
The Deputy Captain was upset, and he asked: “Then you don’t want it?”
“No need.” Lu Liran said, “I’ll call you when I need it.”
The Deputy Captain had no choice but to nod: “That’s fine.”
He said so verbally, but he was muttering in his heart, but Lu Liran didn’t even take any tools, it’s a miracle if he can find it.
But no matter what, the other party managed to bring them to the vicinity of the target range, and they couldn’t rely on others for the rest, as if they couldn’t do anything well.
The Deputy Captain thought so in his mind, then he rolled up his sleeves and cheered up, and shouted to his subordinates, and they all seized the time and quickly moved to find it.
“Why does the Deputy Captain look like he has been injected with chicken blood?”
“Everything becomes abnormal since we call that anchor to join the team.”
“Hey, I said, why did you call the anchor? Now we’re being compared and looking for pain.”
“Come on, you can’t even do it on your own, how can such sour person count as Alpha.”
“……”
The eight-person team led by the Deputy Captain carried detectors and carpet searched the forest. After searching again and again, no results were found. The Deputy Captain then expanded the range by another fifty meters.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji did not participate in this group’s carpet search.
Compared with the busy team behind them like ants moving house, the behavior of Lu Liran and Ke Ji can be regarded as out of place and too leisurely.
They carefully measured the area with their feet and inspected the primitive forest with their eyes. From time to time, Lu Liran climbed up the surrounding rocks and mountain walls to inspect the entire space from a high position.
“What are they doing?”
“Doing nothing, just like visiting the back garden.”
When the Deputy Captain heard the mutterings of his subordinates, he became very angry. He called the two men who had been beeping non-stop to come out and walked to the bamboo forest more than ten meters away to scold them.
Lu Liran’s eyes swept across the bamboo forest lightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a vague way. It was obvious that the curvature was not visible, but it still made people feel that he was mocking them.

The few team members who were still in the same place felt a little embarrassed——

Comparing people with each other can just make people angry.The two team members who were singled out and reprimanded returned to the team. The whole team finally calmed down, and everyone quietly searched for possible hiding spots on the ground.
“This is a virgin forest with no traces of indigenous habitation, so any violation of natural growth practices here is almost always related to man-made activities.” Lu Liran spoke in a low voice, as if speaking to Ke Ji, but also as if speaking to himself.
In fact, it’s just an occupational disease after doing live broadcasting for a long time.
After he finished speaking, he felt something was not right. The drone was not released and the live broadcast room was not opened. He said this as if he was showing off his analysis in front of Ke Ji.
Lu Liran felt embarrassed.
He glanced at Ke Ji from the corner of his eye, and saw that Ke Ji was listening carefully, then nodded in agreement and said: “That’s why you said you don’t need those detectors? The place where a poaching gang hides illegal goods is not in the usual visible caves and rock crevices. According to their method of finding, even if they scan the entire deserted island, it would be a waste of effort.”
Lu Liran nodded, feeling a little excited, he and His Excellency the Commander had thought of the same thing!
“Did you see that big tree? It’s just a common rock-piercing banyan tree. There has always been a saying that a single tree can form a forest. Numerous air roots hang from the branches, the roots of the columns are connected, the branches support each other, and the leaves are numerous and prosperous.” Lu Liran lowered his voice, and cast his eyes on a dense shade in the distance.
The projected area of the crown of that banyan tree is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to say that it can block out the sun.
Rock-piercing Banyan trees like this one can be found everywhere on the island, and it was these bayan trees that create such a dense and magnificent vegetation view of the island’s primitive jungle.
Ke Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes lingering on the hanging roots of the banyan tree.
Lu Liran continued: “As for the tree over there, considering its growth rate and surrounding environment, as well as its crown width and diameter at chest height, it may be less than ten years old in terms of tree age. Although the aerial roots hanging from it are probably less than ten years old, the scale of its hanging aerial roots is much larger than that of its tree age.
“The development and expansion of aerial roots is inseparable from common factors such as the mother tree, light, and nutrition. And in such a forest with dense vegetation, there are huge trees that can grow to tens of meters high everywhere, and the sunlight it can get is limited, and even the development of the mother tree should not be so lush.”
“In other words, this rock-piercing banyan tree is growing incredibly fast, so it must have extra nutrients.” Lu Liran said, looking at Ke Ji.
Ke Ji nodded slightly: “For example, the energy contained in the processed products of poaching.”
The two walked quickly towards the rock-piercing banyan tree, leaving behind the team that was still shooting at the ground with instruments.
In the Great Interstellar Age, all interstellar beasts contain special energy fluctuations that are beneficial to people and naturally to their own kind. Such an energy fluctuation would not disappear instantly due to the death of the interstellar beast, but rather a gradual process of loss.
In such a process, the land and plants in the vicinity will be naturally nourished, like the gift and return of life.
The rock-piercing banyan tree in front of them is an obvious target nourished by energy.
Lu Liran stood in front of such a giant tree, and looked closer, only to see that there were even more emerald green vines wrapped around the trunk of its mother tree.
The vines bloomed with small colorful flowers, dotted on the trunk.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up: “This is a colorful cogongrass that usually does not grow on trees because it requires extremely high soil nutrients in the environment where it grows, and trees themselves are usually unable to provide such nutrients.”
“And now it’s climbing on the rock-piercing banyan, which is quite lush.” Ke Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
He took a step forward, then placed his palms on the trunk of the mother tree, and half closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said: “In the heart of the tree.”
This answer was very close to Lu Liran’s guess, but when he heard Ke Ji say this, he still took a slight breath, which meant that Liu San and Big Eye Xu had hollowed out the trunk of this rock-piercing banyan tree.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the energy of the processed items hidden in it, that’s why this rock-piercing bayan tree was able to survive even after it was hollowed out, and even grew so unexpectedly.
The woeful fate and good fortune of the miracle of life tenaciously struggled down.
Lu Liran’s perception of energy fluctuations was not as keen as Ke Ji’s. Ke Ji quickly determined the location, nodded slightly to Lu Liran and said: “It should be this location.”
Lu Liran heard his words and came closer to take a look, and saw that there was an almost invisible bump on the back side of the trunk. The bark has completely grown and covered, and there was almost no difference in color, longitudinal texture, and texture from the trunk of the original mother tree.
If Ke Ji hadn’t pointed it out specifically, he’s afraid he would have missed this slightly different place even if he checked it inch by inch.
“Is this where it was originally hollowed out? It has grown back together?!” Lu Liran opened his eyes slightly, a little shocked.
He originally guessed that the location of the tree hole would be covered with dense vines and branches, like a natural layer of protection, but he did not expect that the banyan tree would grow back directly.
He pursed his lips, and just when he was about to call for the team, the Deputy Captain arrived.
The Deputy Captain and the team members, who had been carpet searching all afternoon, disheveled and dusty. Everyone was soaked with moisture and sweat from the hot and humid air, their uniforms clung to their bodies, and their hair stuck to their scalps. They looked extremely miserable.
Looking back at Lu Liran and Ke Ji, although they were also sweating, the quick-drying clothes wrapped around their upper bodies, and their muscle lines outlined by it make people envious and they can’t bear to look at it. Not to mention embarrassed, they’re hormones were bursting.
The Deputy Captain felt depressed. He took a deep breath and came over, and said: “Mr. Lu, we haven’t found anything here after searching. Is it possible that it’s somewhere else?”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Lu Liran’s answer and continued: “We plan to stay here overnight and continue tomorrow…”
“Right here.” Lu Liran interrupted the other party.
The Deputy Captain choked and let out a funny “eh” sound in his throat, like a goose being strangled by the throat.
Lu Liran glanced at him and repeated: “I said, right here.”
The Deputy Captain took a breath and suddenly opened his eyes: “Where is it!?”
Lu Liran pointed to the big tree in front of him: “In the tree.”
The Deputy Captain was stunned and had a look on his face that said, “You’re kidding me.”
“In the tree? How could it be hidden in such a complete tree…” The Deputy Captain muttered doubtfully, but still took out the detector and turned it on.
As soon as the detector was turned on, the alarm of “wee-woooh, wee-woooh, wee-whoooh” sounded.
The Deputy Captain opened his mouth wide and stopped talking.
The siren was so harsh that it could be heard throughout the forest. Lu Liran frowned, and the team members rushed over instantly.
“What the hell, the detector is alarming?!”
“Finally found?!”
“Wait, wait, is it in the tree?! Who can find this!”
“The Deputy Captain is awesome!”
When the team members saw that their Deputy Captain had scanned the hiding place with a detector, they immediately became excited and looked at Lu Liran and Ke Ji with a bit of arrogance.
Did you see it? In the end, our Deputy Captain found it!
Lu Liran pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face.
The Deputy Captain coughed dryly and touched the tip of his nose to interrupt: “I didn’t find it.”
Ga? The expressions on the team members’ faces were stifled.
“Mr. Lu found it here.” The Deputy Captain said.
…
…
Everyone was quiet.
But soon, the team members were able to bend and stretch:
“Mr. Lu is awesome!”
Sunnyshies: Speaking of, Lu Liran only has A-rank mental power, and Ke Ji is the only triple S-rank mental power in the entire interstellar.
Lu Liran showing off, so cute.
Thank you for the chapter
Lmaooo, they changed target so fast.
They changed their faces so fast😂😂. Thanks for the update
Mr Lu is awesome indeed! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
🤣🤣🤣
oh wait so LuLu’s and Dog Ke’s mental power don’t really match… So would it be a problem for them in the future? I hope not…
