These Familiars Are Strange

I couldn't help narrowing my eyes to look at Yun Tian after he said this.

However, it didn't seem like he was going to tell me anything else with the way that he looked right back at all.

It seemed like this was all that he was willing to say, even though he had just called himself a senior.

Perhaps there was something else that was at play here, something that was much higher up. He might know something because of his connections, but it made it awkward for him to tell us anything.

Yun Tian just had that same calm look on his face the entire time, as if he wasn't bothered by the way that I looked at him.

So in the end, I said with a sigh, "When are you planning to head back in?"

A faint smile appeared on his face when he heard this before he said, "I was planning on resting tonight before heading back in."

After a pause that seemed like he was thinking about something, Yun Tian added, "It doesn't hurt to tell you this. The scouts have been watching the Abyss Demons come in and based on what they've seen, they say that it'll take around a week before the Abyss Demons actually arrive. So we'll have that long to prepare before the fight begins. As for their numbers…"

His voice trailed off at this as a look of thought appeared on his face.

It was as if he was debating on whether he should tell me or not, but in the end…

"Well, you'll know when they report it."

I guess it was a secret for now that they were only sharing with certain people.

It wasn't hard to guess why they were doing this.

The more people that knew about this, the more likely that it would spread. At the same time, they were most likely trying to keep panic at a minimum by sealing off this information.

Still, it was information that I would have liked to know.

But in the end, it wasn't as if I could force Yun Tian to give me this information.

If he wasn't willing to share, there was nothing that I could do about it.

After telling me a few more things, that was when Yun Tian decided that this conversation was done.

It wasn't that it was getting late, it was just that…

"I have a few more things to take care of, so I'll let you get ready as well. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning and we can head back into the Abyss tomorrow."

I gave a nod to show that I agreed with this.

If Yun Tian was willing to do this, then it certainly would help us.

After all, Yun Tian was someone with connections based on what he had demonstrated just now. It was clear that he was someone that had a lot of information that could be shared.

As such, it was good to keep him close.

Once Yun Tian was gone, I looked at Wang Rong and Iris and the three of us had the same idea.

So we headed to the tent that we had been given.

As sergeants, we had been given our private tents since that was one of the privileges that sergeants received. However, there was something else that sergeants could also ask for.

In most cases, sergeants were able to ask for a bigger tent if they were in a group since it would be shared with their group.

Most sergeants would have a team to support them after all since it was unlikely that they would reach their position alone.

As such, it was only natural that headquarters would provide a place for the entire team.

Though we couldn't help being surprised seeing the tent that we were given.

We had seen some of the tents that sergeants were given for their teams, so we already had a good idea of what to expect. It was just that the tent that was in front of us was completely different from what we had been expecting.

It was much bigger than the normal tents given to sergeants and their teams.

"Is it because all three of us are sergeants?" I couldn't help slowly asking this.

Iris and Wang Rong slowly nodded in agreement to this.

Still, even if we didn't know why they gave us this large tent, that didn't change the fact that this was better than the tent that we had been expecting. It wasn't just much bigger than a normal tent, it also seemed like it was much more well equipped and there was even extra space if we wanted to recruit anyone to our team.

It really seemed like they were setting us up to succeed, but also…it seemed like they wanted to push us to get more people in our group.

But I really didn't want anyone that I couldn't trust with all my heart, so that wouldn't happen.

"Let's split these things and see if we can prepare some stuff for tomorrow."

That was the first thing that we discussed after reaching our new tent.

At the same time, I pulled out several things from my Storage Ring that I placed in front of the two of them.

They looked at me with a surprised look before that became a strange look.

I could easily see what they were asking when they looked at me with this kind of look, so I just gave a simple nod in response to confirm that it was the Scavenger Rabbit that got me all of this.

While they had been focused on fighting the Abyss Demons, I had the Scavenger Rabbit do its thing and gathered quite a bit of resources.

"Well, I'll take this then and see if they can make anything useful for me." Wang Rong took a few things that would be used to make armour and such.

Iris took a few random things as well before saying, "I'll see if they can make any potions or medicines."

With a nod, I took the rest and said, "Then I'll take care of the rest."

With this plan in mind, we split up and headed off in different directions.
