After releasing the Gargoyles, Gu Xi did not immediately dispatch his troops. Instead, he headed back.
Scouting the way was not such a simple task.
There were two kinds of scouting. One was a rapid sweep, flying as far as possible. The other was a wide-area search to see whether there were any ambushes within their patrol range.
No matter which scouting method they used, they would not return quickly.
There was no need for Gu Xi to wait here the entire time. He needed to go back and see how the cleanup of the previous battlefield was progressing.
Just as Gu Xi left, about ninety li from where his troops were stationed, a Bull-Horned Monkey looked up at the sky before letting out a series of squeaks.
Hearing the sound, a Nida Person over three meters tall swiftly sprang out from nearby.
He was still gnawing on a bloody chunk of meat and bone.
"Damn it, they didn't attack directly?

How did they catch on so quickly?"
The Bull-Horned Monkey continued squeaking.
"Forget it. There's no need anymore. The fact that they sent Scouts means they already know what we're thinking.
