"They... they really escaped?!"
The Two-Horned Lizard stared blankly at that spot.
Although it had just proposed going back, it didn't think it was impossible for that human to say it.
Therefore, it has been closely monitoring the situation over there.
As a result, now...
"Not necessarily! They could have been killed by something hiding in the forest at night!"
Questions and dissent came from the sidelines.
The Two-Horned Lizard frowned and looked over. "What are you thinking? With that level of commotion just now, even I, at only Tier 2, wouldn't have been killed so quickly, let alone the ones still alive!"
"I see!"
The figure seemed to have just realized something.
"So they really escaped?"
"What an idiot!"... The Two-Horned Lizard's lips twitched. Ignoring the ' Stone-Armored Beast,' it turned its gaze to the human.
"So, what do you think?"
There was no immediate response; Shen Heng simply stared at the spot.
Although he didn't believe his guess was necessarily correct, the result did indeed surprise him.
Did I really overthink it?
He paused for a moment, then replied:
"Hmm, they've most likely escaped successfully!"
"Then we..."
The Two-Horned Lizard spoke, but before it finished its sentence, the meaning seemed quite clear.
Shen Heng looked at the Two-Horned Lizard, then his gaze swept over Qin Yu and Stone.
Apart from Qin Yu, whose face still showed little emotion, the other three were all secretly overjoyed.
"So, we can go out now, right?"
"Now you can finally walk, right?"
"Ha, I knew it. The captain was overthinking things. He didn't do anything wrong, but why all the fuss..."
The sound echoed in my ears.
Shen Heng looked into the distance again, and as his gaze settled, he slowly stood up.
"We need to hurry, otherwise it will be very difficult to break through the trees later."
"If we encounter any unforeseen circumstances later and want to evacuate, we should try to stay together. Otherwise, even if nothing happens, we won't be able to escape the pursuit of those surrounding trees."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Lord Shen Heng."
"Clear."
The Two-Horned Lizard didn't follow, after all, it wasn't the other party's subordinate, but it still stood up.
Then, his gaze swept across the darkness between them and the light source.
The two humans had spoken to it in detail about the dangers of the night.
Although the exact source is unclear, as long as you don't wander around the forest at night, stay in one place without making any noise, or simply stay at the edge of the forest, there shouldn't be any problems.
But only in these two situations will there be no problem!
Want to travel through the forest at night?
Then you can only pray for your life!
This is also why it was so worried when it heard that the portal to the outside world only appeared at night and was random.
Fortunately, they seem to have had pretty good luck!
The portal to the exit didn't appear right next to them, but it wasn't too far away either!
Just as I was thinking this, the human voice came from the side again.
And this time, it was addressed to it.
"You can notify the remaining Calamity Beast now," Shen Heng said, looking at the Two-Horned Lizard.
The Two-Horned Lizard paused for a moment, then nodded.
Because it didn't want to reveal the existence of these humans and then have to stay with them, it separated the several Calamity Beast and made them wait for its instructions.
I thought that given the situation over this period, they would be more obedient to me, but unexpectedly, one of them still acted on its own.
Fortunately, there was only one!
However, the other guys who witnessed that scene must be getting impatient by now, right?!
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard grinned and looked to the side.
There, a large Stone covered with branches and leaves lay quietly.
In the next instant, the boulder flew into the air.
Because they were already on high ground, the boulder fell in a parabolic arc.
The branches and leaves entwined around it rustled in the wind.
Within a radius of several miles, several pairs of eyes that were already watching this place immediately turned towards it.
"Finally... can we go now?"
Amidst the whispers, a massive figure crawled out of the concealed burrow and quickly ran towards the direction of the light.
At the same moment, another figure leaped out of the bushes and quickly headed in the same direction.
Unbeknownst to them, the trees that had been standing still at their hiding place suddenly stirred.
"Tap tap tap..."
Footsteps moved quickly through the woods.
The Two-Horned Lizard ran alongside the two humans, its eyes carefully scanning the surroundings.
It goes without saying what they're guarding against; it's probably just that Calamity Beast that might control the trees to attack them.
But what kind of Calamity Beast would do that?
Without showing its face, it attacks from a distance, and it seems to be some kind of awakening-related ability?
The Two-Horned Lizard was somewhat puzzled.
It had never seen this type of Calamity Beast before.
Suddenly, its ears twitched, and its gaze shifted in a certain direction.
A loud rumbling sound came from that direction.
Then, before it could look at it much longer, its gaze was drawn to something unusual nearby.
In my field of vision, a vine twisted twice and then stood up.
Then, it shot towards us.
"Boom, boom, boom--"
The Two-Horned Lizard dodged another incoming branch, then opened its mouth to help it breathe, looking at the surging branches surrounding it.
To be honest, these branches aren't very strong, but they're growing a bit too fast!
Moreover, how is it possible to be neither strong nor able to simultaneously take care of multiple areas?
It was somewhat puzzled, but now, it didn't have much time to think about it.
Suddenly, everything went black.
The Two-Horned Lizard raises its head.
A large shadow fell over them.
"Bad child, don't come home! Bad child, don't come home! Bad..."
Shouting, chanting incantations.
Inaudible sounds kept ringing in my ears.
Shen Heng's face was grim as he dodged the branches that came at him one after another.
The dodging maneuvers are starting to become a bit tricky, but they're not exactly difficult yet...
He looked up at the vast expanse of dark shadows around him.
The speed at which these branches are attacking with increasing force seems to be much faster than before? Why?
Is it because there are more 'bad kids' this time? Or is it because they were awakened once before, and then the Calamity Beast that ran out first was awakened again, so they are waking up faster?
