Chapter 257 Suspension Perception
Leading the way was Priya, a former hunter skilled in tracking, who was also better able to detect dangers in the forest.
Next was Amit, the archer in the group, positioned in the center for his safety.
As the brains of the team, Suraj is in the third position.
This allows him to have an overall view of the situation and make quick decisions when encountering unexpected situations.
Ah Jun is the most skilled in close combat among Suraje's men, making him the most suitable person to cover the rear.
At the same time, he was also Suraj's capable assistant, and this position made it easier for Suraj to discuss matters with him at any time.
There is also a fifth person.
Rajiv served as a scout in the army before being brought there by Suraj.
He possesses considerable personal combat skills and is extremely adept at concealing himself, while also exhibiting an unusual level of vigilance.
Rajiv usually doesn't join the marching group, but rather stays around the perimeter.
This expands the team's field of vision, enabling them to detect potential dangers at the first sign of trouble.
This personnel configuration is the best strategy that Suraj could think of.
Bringing more people would make the group look bulky and greatly increase the risk of their whereabouts being exposed.
This forest is dangerous.
Although he had only been in the New World for a little over twenty days, he had already experienced several dangerous moments.
On one occasion, Suraj almost lost his life on the spot.
It was a tree that could move.
Suraj initially thought it was just an ordinary tree and planned to use its huge canopy to shelter from the rain.
Suddenly, the tree roots emerged from the ground and entangled Suraj.
The tree's immense power instantly made Suraj feel suffocated.
It looked as if it weren't tree roots, but a giant python.
Once bound by a python, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to survive.
Suraj was even unable to speak for a moment and could not ask for help.
Fortunately, his men quickly noticed the danger, and together they managed to cut the tree root.
Then they carried Suraj a long way before they started trying to untie him.
By the time they finally helped Suraj break free from the "embrace" of the tree roots, all the muscles in his body were numb.
This forest is so absurd, who could imagine that a tree could actually move?
In short, the group was on edge, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
They didn't want to be noticed by anything, whether it was people or the strange creatures of this continent.
It was precisely because I had been wandering this continent for so long that I began to understand why the Federation had not ventured deeper into the new continent, even though they had established a base there several years ago.
The reason is simple: this continent is too dangerous.
Rushing in will only result in enormous and unnecessary sacrifices.
Moreover, there are people in the forest who regard them as enemies.
The tribes near the coastline had basically been invaded by slave traders.
The green-eyed man may retreat deeper into the forest, but his hatred will not diminish in the slightest.
If they discover or capture him, Suraj doesn't think he'll have a good outcome.
Unfortunately, they have already been discovered.
Rajiv told Suraj that someone was following them and had been watching them.
Even Rajiv couldn't pinpoint the other party's exact location.
Suraj was extremely surprised and had no idea how the other party had discovered them.
Moreover, why did the other party just follow without making any move?
Could it be that they were just observing, trying to figure out the purpose of Suraj and the others?
Suraj couldn't be sure, but he now understood that the people of the Eastern world had underestimated the green-eyed people.
The fact that they were able to live in such a dangerous forest and allow their civilization to continue to this day means that the Green-Eyed People must also possess some kind of special thing.
Just as the people of the Far East possess knowledge and wisdom, Suraj speculated that the Green-Eyed People might possess something close to nature.
But no matter what, Suraj absolutely cannot let the danger go unchecked.
Although those following them were merely keeping watch, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't suddenly launch an attack at some point.
Suraj has made up his mind that he must remove this thorn in his side as soon as possible.
From the very first day that Suraj learned of the other's existence, he ordered everyone to ignore it and pretend they knew nothing about it.
The purpose, of course, is to lull the opponent into a false sense of security so that a weakness can be revealed.
But that person was so good at hiding that even now, Rajiv has never been able to pinpoint their exact location.
As these days accumulated, the psychological pressure on Suraj was almost suffocating him.
Today, Suraj thought I had to find the other party today.
Suraj turned around and said to Ah Jun:
"Call Rajiv back."
Ah Jun nodded, then took out a glass bottle containing a light blue liquid and threw it at the tree trunk in front of him.
The bottle shattered upon impact, spilling its contents everywhere.
However, as the liquid falls to the ground, it evaporates into gas first.
This is a twin potion.
When it was created by the alchemist, it consisted of two incompatible liquids.
The twin agent is functional when both are placed in a sealed container.
Once one dose of the medicine leaves the sealed container, the other dose will actively break the container and come outside.
Although the Twin Elixir itself is not very powerful, if a pre-arranged code is agreed upon, it can transmit specific information instantly regardless of distance, thus possessing extremely high strategic value.
After that, the group continued on its way.
Before long, Rajiv had returned to the group.
He walked to Suraj's side: "Sir, what brings me back?"
Suraj asked, "Have you spotted the people following us?"
M
"He's cunning, and also very cautious; he doesn't give himself away at all," Rajiv said, shaking his head.
Suraj said, "Then I'd like to try to find his location myself."
Rajiv frowned slightly: "My lord, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but since you've chosen me, it means you must believe in my abilities. I think that in terms of reconnaissance, you are certainly no match for me."
“Everyone has their strengths, and the only thing I’m better at than you is my ability to oversee the big picture,” Suraj said. “Don’t worry, Rajiv, it’s not that I don’t trust you.”
"So, sir, what do you intend to do?"
Suraj did not answer, but instead raised his voice slightly:
Stop.
The order was given, and the team stopped in the middle of the woods.
Everyone stared at Suraj, their eyes filled with confusion.
Suraj said, "Protect me."
Ah Jun asked with some concern, "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Suraj found a camphor tree nearby, made a few cuts on the trunk with a knife, and after confirming that the tree wouldn't move, he sat down against it.
He repeated, "Protect me."
Then, Suraj closed his eyes.
Once, in a library, the librarian gave Suraj a book called "On Self-Cultivation".
When Suraj began reading, he discovered that it discussed how one should cultivate a strong inner self.
Suraj has read books like this before that are all show and no substance.
Authors often use obscure or mysterious language to attract attention, boost sales, and ultimately gain fame.
After all, books weren't cheap, especially before the invention of printing.
Suraj initially thought it was just another book like that, so he only read it once and then put it aside.
However, the process of crossing the Sea of Despair is far too long.
Although the journey from the Far East to the kingdom was equally long, Suraj would occasionally dock to spend a day or two reading in the local library to relieve his boredom.
But there are no libraries on the Despair Sea, only endless seawater, and even islands are rarely encountered.
Because he was so bored, Suraj could only rely on the book in his hand to relieve his boredom.
But when he tried to cultivate according to the book, he discovered that it seemed to contain some kind of power.
Once he realized this, he immediately began to take the book very seriously.
He began to study the contents of the book seriously, and when he came to his senses, he was surprised to realize that he seemed to have mastered an extraordinary power.
Of course, cultivation is much more difficult than reading.
Suraj is still far from fully mastering the contents of the entire book; at present, he can only be considered to have entered the door.
That's enough; this power seems to be just right to help him solve his current problem.
At this moment, several of his men surrounded him, allowing him to use his abilities with peace of mind.
Suraj felt the power within him and let it circulate throughout his body.
Then, that power spread out and filled his entire body.
Suraj was able to sense his own existence; the entire outline of his body appeared in his imagination.
Gradually, this perception no longer remained merely in imagination.
He can see himself.
The specific scene appeared in his consciousness.
He saw himself sitting relaxed under a camphor tree.
He saw Ah Jun and Priya staring at him nervously.
He also saw Rajiv and Amit, who were pacing around, wary of any danger in their surroundings.
Suraj's vision continued to rise, as if he were turning into a wisp of steam slowly rising into the sky, and he felt as if he were floating.
Then, the people under the camphor tree gradually shrank, turning into tiny dots and disappearing under the leaves.
Suraj felt himself continuing to float.
All I could see was green.
The forest here is as vast as an ocean; no matter how high Suraj flies, he cannot see the edge of the forest.
Finally, Suraj stopped rising; he had reached the boundary of his own perception.
This is perception.
Not only could he see, but Suraj could also hear the howling wind high in the sky.
Suraj began to control this perception.
He tried to move.
Suraj slowly descended into the forest.
He returned to his body, and all his men remained at their posts.
Suraj used this place as a center and quickly moved around in all directions.
He seemed to be flying; he was faster than a horse.
Moreover, there is no need to worry about trees obstructing his senses; his perception is not blocked by any object, and he can easily pass through tree trunks.
Suraj conducted a thorough search, leaving no corner unchecked.
If a human were to accomplish this using their own body, it would probably take at least an hour.
But in less than a few minutes, Suraj had surveyed the entire area within hundreds of feet of him.
And he successfully found his goal.
This is a green-eyed person, not very tall, but seemingly agile.
The man was wearing a garment made of pine bark, and his brownish-gray fur made him difficult to spot.
Besides, he was hiding on a tree trunk.
He hid among the leaves, gazing in the direction of Suraj.
When Suraj saw this person, his expression was unusually serious, as if he was curious about what Suraj and the others were doing.
Then, the green-eyed person suddenly wanted to get closer, so he started running on the tree trunk.
Suraj was somewhat surprised that the other party could move to another tree without going down to the ground.
They seemed truly familiar with everything in the forest, as if they were the undisputed children of the forest, just as their eyes had been tinged with the green of the forest.
However, these things are completely irrelevant to Suraj at the moment.
Although he was interested in all civilizations, he didn't care.
He has his own homeland, which is the only thing he cares about.
Suraj has used the power he gained from the books to locate the tracking monitor.
Next, it's time to remove the thorns.
Suraj's senses traveled back to his own body, and he crawled inside.
He felt the power within his body and reassembled it into a single entity.
The next moment, he could no longer perceive anything around him.
Then, Suraj opened his eyes.
Seeing that Ah Jun was still staring at him, he knew that he was fully back.
Suraj smiled slightly, and stood up, leaning against the tree trunk:
"Alright, it's time to get started."
Ah Jun asked, "Sir, what operation?"
"Eliminate this stalker."
Hearing this, Rajiv walked over:
"But sir, I haven't located his exact position yet. Acting rashly might alert him!"
"I already know his location."
After saying that, Suraj told everyone the exact location of the green-eyed man.
They also made specific arrangements, dividing into four directions to surround the green-eyed person.
"It would be better to catch him, but the premise is that we can't let him escape," Suraj instructed. "If necessary, we can kill him on the spot."
The four people in front of him were clearly confused as to why Suraj knew the enemy's exact location.
But no one dared to question Suraj's orders, and everyone immediately began to act according to the plan.
Suraj stood quietly in place, waiting for their reply.
After a long while, the four of them brought the green-eyed man over.
Suraj saw that the man had been shot in the thigh with an arrow, which must have been shot by Amit.
The green-eyed man's eyes were filled with fear, and he was muttering something under his breath.
For this mission, Suraj had specifically learned the Green Eyes language, so he could understand what they meant.
This person is begging for mercy.
Suraj laughed, and then began questioning the green-eyed man.
He asked many questions, and in most cases, the green-eyed man answered them all.
Of course, Suraj had no way of verifying its authenticity.
If the person is unwilling to talk, Suraj will order torture.
Only after hearing that the other party could only plead desperately did Suraj stop the torture.
Suraj did not dare to stay too long, so he only interrogated him there for an hour.
He then ordered the man to be executed.
He had to die, otherwise he would have taken away too much information that would be detrimental to Suraj and his group.
Ah Jun chopped off the other person's head.
Suraj squinted and said to the crowd:
"Cheer up! According to him, the tribe ruled by their confederation's chieftain is not far ahead."
