Li Wei took a deep breath, and the Ghost closest to him immediately noticed. When Li Wei suppressed his aura again, it scurried around like a headless fly.
Sure enough, they rely on the scent of living people to locate themselves!
This discovery greatly surprised and delighted Li Wei!
Imagine if you were alone, you could easily enter the second level, or even the third level, by relying on the breath-holding technique of the "True Qi-Controlling Formula".
However, Zheng Yutong and her group were in a different situation. They didn't know any True Qi-Controlling Formula, so they would be discovered no matter where they went.
It seems we still need to deal with these monsters at the entrance first. Suddenly, Li Wei thought of a possibility: if there are so many monsters guarding the entrance to the first level, what about the entrance to the second level?
If there are also a large number of monsters, then even if Zheng Yutong and her group manage to enter, they will be surrounded by monsters and end up with their swords broken and themselves killed.
For no apparent reason, Li Wei broke out in a cold sweat. If that were really the case, then the plan he had just devised had indirectly harmed Zheng Yutong and the others.
Fortunately, none of this has happened yet. However, since this aspect has been taken into consideration, the plan to lure the monster needs to be changed.
Having made up his mind, Li Wei jumped out of his hiding place with incredible speed. Concealing his aura, he rushed directly into the entrance to the second level.
This startled the other reincarnators who were watching his every move from a distance, almost making them scream.
"What is he doing? He's courting death!" Seventy-Two's first reaction was that this new captain had gone mad.
"Could it be that he's trying to enter the second level alone? Didn't you notice that those Ghost seem unable to see him at all? That's strange, how did he manage that?" Knight number 99 also looked puzzled.
Zheng Yutong was worried, but trusting Li Wei, she absolutely did not believe that he would abandon her and enter the second floor alone. He must have his reasons for doing so.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, some noises came from the entrance to the second floor. Soon, the noise grew louder and louder, and even the ground began to shake.
What exactly happened?
The doubts of the crowd were immediately answered.
Suddenly, a person jumped out of the cave and ran straight back the way they had come. This person was none other than Li Wei.
Behind him followed hundreds of monsters.
With just one glance, the reincarnators were so frightened that they hid back behind the stone pillars. Among the monsters were Ghost, Cyclops, and Skeleton Archer.
If it were only these things, they wouldn't be so terrified.
Among the monsters, there were even 'Hellhound', 'Hell Spider', and 'Skeleton Warrior' from the second level. Each of these terrifying monsters had a combat power exceeding that of a C3-level reincarnator. Again, if it were a one-on-one fight, no reincarnator would be intimidated.
However, a group of more than 300 monsters is a different story.
No one could survive being chased by such a horde of monsters. Even if his combat strength rating reached A, the outcome would be the same. In just an instant, Zheng Yutong's eyes reddened.
If it weren't for the Seventy-Two holding her back tightly, she might have already rushed out.
"Sister Zheng, Grandma Zheng, I beg you, please don't act rashly! If you go out and those monsters find you, none of us will be able to escape. By the way, Captain 1987 will definitely have a way, so please stay calm!"
The group managed to calm Zheng Yutong down before they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What exactly is the new captain planning?
At the entrance, the Ghost and the Skeleton Archer had been hiding in the shadows now joined their brethren in the army chasing Li Wei. They swarmed in and out, and soon the area became deserted.
"Did the captain say that we'll enter the second level after he lures the Ghost away?" Seeing her companions all looking on in a daze, Lang Ping, with her somewhat simple and honest nature, reminded them at the right moment.
Yes!
This was the plan the captain had initially devised. Thinking of this, the reincarnators, including Zheng Yutong, suppressed their shock and ran from their hiding place toward the entrance to the second level.
They didn't dare to talk to each other until they entered the second floor and found a safe place to hide.
The content was nothing more than about the new captain and what he was really up to.
The wait was long; a minute at this time felt like an hour in normal times. Just as the reincarnators were wondering if the new captain had been torn apart by the monster horde, a violent fluctuation came from the entrance to the second floor.
They peered out and witnessed a sight that would shake them for the rest of their lives.
A person leaped out of the distorted air.
Yes, it jumped out.
The reincarnators rubbed their eyes, confirming that the person had indeed jumped out of thin air. What surprised them even more was that this person was none other than the new captain who had single-handedly pulled away hundreds of monsters!
Even those who had previously held a sliver of disdain for Li Wei were now completely convinced!
One person, leading a long-distance race equivalent to hundreds of C3-level monsters, and still managing to return unscathed in such a manner, is truly impressive.
"Hurry up, those monsters might come back soon!" As soon as Li Wei rejoined the group, he grabbed Zheng Yutong and ran forward.
Everyone knew this wasn't the time to ask questions, so they all followed, and Li Wei only stopped after they had gone around several forks in the road.
"Captain... Captain, what kind of skill was that you just used?" Lang Ping asked excitedly.
What skill?
Li Wei wouldn't tell anyone about this. 'Shift Displacement' was his primary skill for survival. Although the conditions for using this skill were quite demanding, its effectiveness was undeniable.
By consuming a certain amount of mental energy, one can instantly travel to any place they have been before, no matter how far away it is. Of course, this must be limited to the same story world, but even so, it is still a very useful skill.
This was a clever trick Li Wei had just come up with to lure monsters. Who would have thought that Shifting Forms and Changing Positions could be used like this? Only Li Wei could pull so many monsters; anyone else would definitely not be able to escape.
After using some trivial words to appease the somewhat simple-minded Lang Ping, the team began a temporary rest.
After all, more than 20 hours have passed since they entered the underground city. Although their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, they are not indestructible and still need necessary rest.
Sitting on a protruding rock, Li Wei began to think about the skills he possessed.
Now, he has a basic understanding of the skill classifications within Shadow Street. Generally speaking, the skill classifications are based on four basic attributes.
