Immediately, she turned to Xu Taiping and asked with some urgency:
"Rusty Lion Young Master, when you told us to prepare in advance, was it because you'd already divined exactly what dangers this second wave of the hunt would bring?"
"More or less, but I can't be certain." Xu Taiping gave Gu Qingcheng an ambiguous answer.

"Rusty Lion Young Master, if there's anything I can help with, please just say the word."
Gu Qingcheng hurried over to Xu Taiping.
"Before this second wave of the hunt arrives, we need to use these rocks to build as sturdy a stone fortress as we can, however simple, and hide inside together when the hunt begins."
Xu Taiping answered.
According to the images he had seen in the Lotus Eye's Divine Soul Mark, in this second wave of the hunt on Black Mountain, the Azure-Eyed Demon Monk would no longer unleash arrows and rocks upon the mountain, but the Rat Swarm.
A Rat Swarm made up of rats each as large as a calf.
In those images, wherever the Rat Swarm passed, refugees and mountain vegetation alike were gnawed clean away.
Once the second wave of the hunt was over, Black Mountain would become a barren wasteland.

It had to be said that Gu Qingcheng was indeed exceptionally clever.
