I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3316: Chapter 3308: Ambush

"I’ve already made inquiries. He said that inside the cave, they worship the deity of their tribe."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi’s expression showed no surprise.

For a primitive tribe to do such things, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

"Did he mention what exactly the divine object they worship is?"

"He gave me a description, but I was quite baffled."

"Huh?! Even you were baffled?"

"He said it was a black object about ten centimeters long, with a white spike on it."

Qiu Yuluo said:

"I had someone recreate it on a computer, but we couldn’t tell what it was."

"Could it be metal from the island?"

"I had the same suspicion, but he said it wasn’t," Qiu Yuluo replied,

"He also mentioned a mischievous child from the tribe who secretly climbed into the cave, picked up the divine object, and took a bite, leaving a mark on it."

"That rules out the possibility of metal and crystal stones," Lin Yi said.

"Did he describe what kind of material it was?"

"No, you can’t expect a chieftain of a primitive tribe to know such things. To him, a portable gas stove would be the greatest invention in the world."

Lin Yi slapped his forehead. It was indeed a bit unfair to ask him about such advanced matters.

"You mentioned earlier that there was a white spike on it, right?"

"Yes, he specifically described it and said it felt very hard."

"Two different materials fused together is indeed odd."

"A dozen of us thought hard about it and still couldn’t figure it out," Qiu Yuluo said,

"If we eliminate random possibilities, it must be something beyond our imagination from the island."

"Did they say why they revere it as a divine object? Does it have any specific effects?"

"The specific effect is that it can heal injuries and diseases."

"Healing injuries and diseases? That’s nonsense."

"That’s exactly what he said," Qiu Yuluo replied,

"They live in a primitive tribe and are often attacked by wild beasts. Once someone is injured, they bring the person to the cave, worship the divine object, and then rub it on the wounds. After a few days, it heals."

"Hmm?" Lin Yi said, "Is it really that magical? Could there be some exaggeration?"

"I think there might be, but he also mentioned that not all injuries can be treated this way. Some people do die, but some have indeed survived."

"Team Leader Chen and I analyzed this. There might be some coincidental factors involved."

"The primordial forest is vast and full of rare herbs. Maybe the locals ate some of these herbs by chance after getting injured, unknowingly healing themselves, but ultimately attributing it to the divine object."

"It’s certainly possible."

"But it would still be worthwhile to find a way to obtain that object," Qiu Yuluo said,

"If it truly is something from the island, it’s indeed a significant discovery."

"Given the current situation, retrieving it seems difficult. We’ll have to try our luck elsewhere."

"Thank you for your efforts."

"It’s nothing."

After hanging up Qiu Yuluo’s call, Shao Jianfeng said,

"I’ll bet that if what he said is true, the so-called divine object must be from the island."

"It’s no use discussing this now; it’s already been taken by Golden River Security Company," Zhang Chaoyue said,

"With so much time having passed, it might have already been sent back to the Kaijie Group."

"But don’t you find this news terrifying?"

Luo Qi said,

"The tribe’s chieftain said that the divine object could heal external injuries. If such things were introduced into the medical field, it would cause quite a stir."

"Alright, let’s not think about these things for now. Let’s rest up and visit the other two tribes tomorrow."

"Understood."

Lin Yi pondered silently.

If nothing is found in the other two tribes,

then the divine object of the Sennar Tribe will be the main focus of the next search.

But as Luo Qi mentioned, that object might have been sent back to the Kaijie Group, making it a difficult task to retrieve.

Given the current situation, there’s little room for misunderstanding.

Golden River Security Company and the organization behind them have strong intelligence capabilities.

The likelihood of making a mistake in this regard is minimal.

This also indirectly confirms that the tribe’s divine object might indeed possess some miraculous powers.

Speculating further, the so-called divine object is highly likely to be something from Tilia Island!

Having existed for countless years, it may indeed have some magical properties.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Static came through on Xiao Bing’s communicator.

"Calling Hummingbird, calling Hummingbird! This is Falcon."

Hearing the caller’s voice, everyone in the group knew it was a message from the Divine Sword Second Team.

"Received, please go ahead," Xiao Bing said.

"We’ve been ambushed by an unknown force here. We’re stuck in a standoff and unable to advance."

"An ambush?! Were there any casualties?"

Everyone turned their attention to the communicator, eager to know the situation of the Divine Sword Second Team.

"Only minor injuries. We’re in a standoff, and neither side dares to move."

Xiao Bing looked at Lin Yi, waiting for his next orders.

Lin Yi took the communicator and said,

"Hold your position. We’ll come to support you."

"Understood."

After cutting the communication, Lin Yi said,

"Check with the first team on their situation."

"Yes!"

Adjusting the communicator, Xiao Bing said,

"Calling Nightingale, this is Hummingbird. Do you read me?"

A response quickly came through from the other side.

"This is Nightingale, please proceed."

"The second team has been ambushed. How are things on your end?"

"We’ve reached the Fitala Tribe. Everything is normal, and we’re currently patrolling."

"How are the tribal people behaving? Any unusual behavior?"

"Everything’s normal; they’re very hospitable."

"Stay alert to your surroundings. The enemy could appear at any moment. If there’s any danger, suspend the mission and retreat immediately."

"Understood."

After ending the communication, Xiao Bing said,

"Boss, although there are activities of the Foreign Legion here, I suspect the second team encountered people from the Golden River Security Company."

"At this point, it doesn’t matter who they encountered; the key is why they would encounter them," Shao Jianfeng said.

"The only possibility is that there’s something fishy about that place," Zhang Chaoyue said,

"They rushed over to prevent the second team from discovering it."

"Perhaps the boss’s plan has unsettled them," Yu Siying said,

"Now it all depends on who moves faster, as they’ll find the hidden item in the tribe."

The group’s guesses aligned with Lin Yi’s thoughts, who quietly said,

"Pack up; we’ll make a night raid."
