Two days passed quickly.
Before they knew it, it was the afternoon of the third day.
By then, Jiang Lan and the others had cleared nearly seventy percent of their planned route.
At this rate, they would need another day and a half at most to finish the entire clearing mission.
The team moved along the edge of the dense forest.
Jiang Lan led the way, his senses fully extended as he kept watch for danger.
For now, there were no signs of Fifth Tier ferocious beasts nearby. Quite a few Fourth Tier beasts were moving about in the distance, but they deliberately steered clear of the Vanguard Team, not daring to approach.
Just then, the Communicator at Han Zheng's waist suddenly rang.
The piercing crackle of static sounded especially jarring in the quiet forest.
Han Zheng's expression changed, and he immediately answered.
An urgent voice came through the Communicator.
The Communicator was not loud, but with Jiang Lan's mental faculties, he heard every word clearly.
"Emergency notification. The Sixth Tier target has left its previous area of activity and is moving south!"
"Its speed is currently unknown. Its direction heavily overlaps with the Vanguard Team's route!"
"The Diamond Realm martial artist has set out ahead of schedule to intercept it. Vanguard Team, stop advancing immediately and retreat along your original route!"
"I repeat! Retreat immediately!"
After listening to the message over the Communicator, Han Zheng's hands tightened slightly.
He turned to look at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's expression grew grave as well.
Everyone present knew exactly what a tier six ferocious beast meant.
Never mind their Vanguard Team-even if everyone present joined forces, they would not be able to harm a single hair on a tier six ferocious beast.
Han Zheng did not hesitate. He made an immediate decision.
