night.
Two Calamity Beast lay on the plain, separated by a small gap.
One of them whispered, but the sound did not carry.
The other one listened quietly from the side.
However, during this process, its pupils gradually dilated, and the back of its head began to twist uncontrollably.
After a long silence, the words finally fell.
The Two-Horned Lizard looked at the human in front of it with some disbelief.
"While I'm curious about this inexplicable Black Rat God, are you serious about using it to pray for a way out?"
"What do you think?" Shen Heng asked, looking at the Two-Horned Lizard.
"I'm not saying your idea is flawed!" The Two-Horned Lizard's lips twitched. "But if you want to make this happen, you'll at least need to catch some Black Rat, and then you'll need to go to that cave, right?"
"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.
"So how many Black Rat do you plan to catch?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked.
"At least a dozen, and they need to be alive, with at least one of them at the Fourth Tier," Shen Heng said.
"A dozen or so, alive, and then we need a Fourth Tier one, and then we have to break into that cave guarded by a bunch of Black Rat. That cave is very close to the Black Rat ' territory. Are you sure we're alive to do all that?"
The Two-Horned Lizard stared at the human before it, its mouth twitching.
It's not that they don't want to help, it's just that this plan is really too ridiculous!
If it were just one Fourth Tier Black Rat, that would be fine; they could prepare themselves and maybe manage.
But the next two were even more outrageous than the last.
There were two Fourth Tier Black Rat at the entrance of that hole alone, and that's after excluding the other Black Rat.
And then, it's not far from the Black Rat territory?
Does this mean that if they can't deal with those Black Rat quickly, they might have to face Fifth Tier Black Rat?
Fifth Tier...
Having once been a Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, it deeply understood what the outcome would be if it truly faced them.
The human was calmly watching it.
"As for the Black Rat, we can start with Black Rat ones patrolling the mountains; as for that cave..."
He paused for a moment, then said:
"I know without you saying it that, given our current situation, it's unlikely we can resolve them."
"So, the only option is to lure them away!"
Hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just a moment ago afraid of this human, because it couldn't get out and its brain got fried!
Now that the other party has thought of this, there's nothing to worry about.
but...
"Draw them away? You have a way to completely lure them away?" it asked, frowning.
"Whether we can lure them away, and how many we can lure away, depends on their situation at the time. However, we should be able to lure away at least some of them," Shen Heng said slowly.
"What if we don't attract enough?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked cautiously from the side.
"If we draw too little, we might have no choice but to try and force it," Shen Heng said.
"A direct attack?" The Two-Horned Lizard frowned, its gaze fixed on the human before it.
The only response it received was a direct gaze and a deep 'hmm'.
After a pause, the Two-Horned Lizard lowered its head, its gaze also becoming heavy.
The next day.
At the shouts, the Two-Horned Lizard rose from the herd.
It yawned and waited in place.
Last night, after that human left, it immediately contacted the other Calamity Beast.
We have to act quickly; they don't have much time left!
Whatever method comes to mind, there isn't much time to carefully verify its feasibility!
This is probably why the human who asked to confirm some information came back to me in just two days!
There's really not much time left!
And today, all I have to do is go to the same mine as that human woman;
Then, kill a few Calamity Beast to create the illusion that a large number of Calamity Beast died today;
Then, they hid inside the mine and had the human woman help them conceal their tracks;
Then, go outside again...
The Two-Horned Lizard quickly went through today's tasks in its mind.
At some point, it paused slightly, its gaze shifting to the side.
The Calamity Beast in the wilderness had already risen up.
But the Black Rat ahead did not, as usual, order them to set off immediately.
Instead, they stood still.
While maintaining Order, they gazed into the distance, seemingly waiting for something.
The Two-Horned Lizard was somewhat puzzled.
This is the first time it has encountered such a situation since it entered this world.
Oh no, strictly speaking, it should be the second time.
The last time this happened was when Black Jade Lion and the others sent out Calamity Beast to investigate, only to have them captured.
But clearly, that situation is unlikely to occur this time!
So, what's the situation now?
The Two-Horned Lizard was somewhat puzzled.
His gaze swept around to the side, but he only saw the puzzled looks on the other Calamity Beast ' faces.
Just as it was pondering, its gaze suddenly paused, settling on the distant woods.
At the edge of the forest, a Black Rat slowly flew by.
The Black Rat flew to the Black Rat camp on this side of the resting area.
Afterwards, he spoke with several Black Rat in charge of the mines.
After a while, a Black Rat flew over.
"No mining today, just rest where you are. Food will be delivered to you tonight!"
Upon hearing this, the field fell silent instantly.
One after another, the Calamity Beast stared at the Black Rat ahead.
Suddenly,
"Long live the Black Rat Lords!"
"Haha, surprisingly..."
"Yay, long live, long live..."
One sound after another echoed across the plains.
The Calamity Beast on the plains, echoing the words of the Black Rat, were now in a frenzy.
"Uh, why is that?" the Two-Horned Lizard called out, somewhat puzzled.
Then, his gaze shifted carefully, moving in a certain direction.
After a while, it stopped.
Do you know what's going on here?
The figure beside him glanced over, then paused, and said, "How would I know from that distance?"
"So what do we do now?" The Two-Horned Lizard nodded as expected.
"Go and inform the others first. The original plan was postponed by one day. Tomorrow, let's get together as planned. If there are no unexpected issues, we can proceed as scheduled!" the voice came.
The Two-Horned Lizard paused, nodded, and headed in another direction.
By this time, the cheers had long since subsided.
The surrounding area was filled with people either resting, still basking in the joy, or chatting about why they were off work today, all with a hint of confusion.
The Two-Horned Lizard listened for a while but couldn't glean any useful information, so it had no choice but to continue on its way.
It finally stopped after quite a while.
His gaze shifted, glancing at the human not far away before turning away and lying down to rest with his eyes closed.
Time passes by, little by little.
I don't know when it happened, just suddenly.
"Waaah--"
A tremendous sound rang out.
The Two-Horned Lizard stiffened, its eyes instinctively lifting upwards.
What came into view were figures who had just been talking, but were now frozen on the ground.
It moved somewhat slowly, its gaze fixed on the distant woods.
Black, like a tidal wave, surged up from the direction of the mine...
