Chapter 163: Extreme Sports Related to Kites?!

Liu Xuemin's words immediately pointed out the crux of the problem.

This canyon really did not look like it had anything special about it.

The terrain was not steep, and the elevation reached a maximum of only a little over a thousand meters.

If one were to compare it with the challenge locations Chu Chen had conquered previously, it was simply not worth mentioning.

It possessed neither the majesty of Mount Everest nor the grandeur of the Congo River.

It looked like nothing more than a mountain canyon with fairly beautiful scenery.

There was almost nothing worth noting.

Liu Xuemin truly could not figure out why such a place would become one of the challenge sites for the Extreme Eight Items.

As soon as he said this, the other experts also fell into deep thought.

Everyone pondered in silence, and soon the atmosphere in the entire conference room turned cold.

It was quiet for a while.

Wang Ruomei, her brows tightly furrowed, suddenly spoke up: "Do you think this clue might just be a decoy he threw out?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zijin shook his head and then said:

"Unlikely. That is not his style of doing things. Based on my understanding of Chu Chen, if he really wanted to mislead our reconnaissance, he would definitely have more brilliant methods; he would absolutely not use such a clumsy approach..."

Wang Ruomei nodded thoughtfully and stopped speaking.

At this moment, Liu Xuemin said:

"How about this: I will go communicate with the Pursuit Team first and let them have some mental preparation. As for the specific action plan, let's wait until we have new clues. What do you all think?"

The next second, just as he finished speaking, the door to the conference room was suddenly knocked upon.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The urgent knocking sound reached inside the room.

Hearing the sound, Chen Zijin said in a clear voice: "Come in."

As the words fell, the door opened in response.

Immediately following, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Pursuit Team walked in.

The man had a rugged, square face, but unexpectedly had a bulbous nose, which looked rather strange.

The person who arrived was named Xu Ming; he was the captain of the Tenth Brigade of the Pursuit Team and also the person in charge of the Screening Team, specifically responsible for the information screening work for Chu Chen's case.

After entering, he walked straight to the five experts, placed the document he was holding in front of Liu Xuemin, and then said, panting for breath:

"Everyone, we have discovered another key clue."

Looking at the document the man handed over, Liu Xuemin asked: "Captain Xu, what is this?"

"This document contains all the information on Walenstadt Canyon. According to our investigation, this is not an ordinary canyon," Xu Ming replied.

Hearing this, the five experts were instantly interested and cast their gazes toward him, expecting him to continue.

Glancing at everyone, Xu Ming continued:

"Due to its special geographical location and climate, as well as the canyon's venturi effect, this canyon often forms powerful cyclones. Based on this, the town of Wallenstadt below the mountain also frequently experiences strong winds. In Europe, the biennial International Kite Festival is held here; it is a true kite sanctuary..."

When he said this, the five experts were all stunned.

The next second, Chen Zijin turned his head to look at him: "What did you say? A kite sanctuary?"

"That's right." Xu Ming nodded vigorously.

Upon hearing this, the five experts looked at each other with grave expressions.

Immediately after, Xu Ming continued: "Everyone, if nothing goes wrong, the challenge site for the Wind Surge in his Extreme Eight Items is most likely here."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became; the fluctuation of his emotions caused his entire body to tremble slightly.

"This clue is indeed very critical..." After he finished, Liu Xuemin stood up and paced to his side: "Thank you, Captain Xu. Later, we will immediately notify the captains far away in Switzerland of this clue so they can use it to formulate a perfect capture plan."

"Liu Lao, you are too polite; this is what we should do."

After shaking hands with Liu Xuemin, Xu Ming said politely.

Just then, Chen Zijin suddenly interjected: "Captain Xu, besides these, do you have any other discoveries?"

Looking at Chen Zijin, Xu Ming shook his head and said: "There are no other discoveries for the time being... but I personally have a bold guess, though I don't know if I should say it..."

"What guess? Let's hear it," Chen Zijin said impatiently.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Ming said unhurriedly: "I feel that his next Wind Surge challenge will likely be related to kites..."

"Related to kites?"

"Yes, after all, it is a well-known kite sanctuary. Based on this point, I feel that his challenge will mostly be related to kites as well."

Extreme sports related to kites?

Hearing this guess of his, not only the five experts present but also the viewers in the live stream were all dumbfounded!

【What kind of extreme sport is related to kites? I've never even heard of it!】

【Kite extreme sport =?】

【Kites and extreme sports shouldn't have any necessary connection, right?】

【I really can't imagine what connection these two sports could have...】

【This matter has completely exceeded my cognitive range!】

Immediately after, Xu Ming smiled and said: "Of course, I'm just guessing; there is no evidence..."

"It's okay, you continue," Chen Zijin signaled for him to continue.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming continued: "When I first discovered this clue, this thought kept circling in my mind, but it didn't make much sense until a subordinate of mine said something unintentionally, which gave me inspiration. He said at the time that Chu Chen might, like flying a kite, tie a kite... to his own body, and then jump down from the top of the mountain..."

【He really dares to think!】

【How big would that kite have to be?】

【This guy's imagination is truly amazing!】

【Don't say it, you guys really shouldn't say it! It's starting to feel like it!】

【No way...】

【Jump down with a kite? Wouldn't that just be straight to the funeral feast? I haven't read much, so don't try to trick me!】

【Good grief, just imagining that scene makes me break out in a cold sweat!】

【Chu Chen: If you want me dead, just say so; why be so roundabout about it?】

【Haha!】

Xu Ming's words stirred up a huge commotion directly in the livestream chat, sparking discussions among countless viewers!

At the same time, the expressions of Chen Zijin and the other four experts were somewhat complex!

Although Xu Ming's speculation sounded a bit outrageous, it was not without reason.

Given Chu Chen's personality, it was possible for him to do something like this.

Chen Zijin said, "Thank you, Captain Xu..."

"You're welcome, Teacher Chen. If there's nothing else, I won't take up any more of your time; I have other things to attend to on my end. If there are any other discoveries, I will come to report to you immediately!"

"Mm, please go ahead."

After Xu Ming left, the five experts immediately held an in-depth discussion on the matter, and then notified the Pursuit Team far away in Switzerland about this incident at the first opportunity, ordering them to begin action immediately!
