Endless Obstacles

Richard paused, then continued, "So, from these several explorations, the other side should have clearly noticed that each group of explorers had been stronger than the last. This is already our fourth visit. Though our numbers are small, logically speaking, we are definitely stronger than the previous three groups.

Therefore, they can no longer accurately determine our true strength. To ensure their own safety and make sure they can eliminate us again, they have no choice but to adopt more cautious methods. The surveillance I mentioned earlier is one such method. Another is this test of driving the moose to attack us.

More than thirty Demonized Moose are indeed not particularly strong, but they are not particularly weak either. At the very least, an ordinary Level 3 Wizard alone would not dare confront them head-on and would have to use cleverer methods to deal with them indirectly. In terms of combat strength, they are roughly equivalent to half of the third Barren Forest exploration team.

In that case, those thirty-odd Demonized Moose are undoubtedly an excellent benchmark for combat strength, one that can be used to test our true capabilities."

"Is that so?" Heluo nodded.

Bobobo Wei Qi was still hiccuping, but that did nothing to stop him from talking. He raised his hand and objected, "If the culprit really used the Demonized Moose to test our strength, hic, then how would it learn the outcome of the battle, hic!"

"To achieve that, there are generally two methods. One is to stay nearby and observe—but that is far too dangerous. If the other side is wise enough, they definitely would not choose it," Richard said.

"The other method is to have a lookout observe here and report back—this is relatively safe, and if the lookout is discovered and killed by
