Everyone was taken aback, and their gazes instinctively turned in that direction.
"One more time, a riot?" Stone looked at Lord Shen Heng.
"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.
"That's impossible. If it were possible, we would have held a second one after the first riot, but we didn't. Besides, those Black Rat aren't stupid. Given the strength they're showing us now, how could you possibly organize a riot like the last one?" The ' Rock-Backed Beast ' Two-Horned Lizard questioned from the side.
"Yeah, if we could, we'd probably all be out by now, right?!" The voice echoed in my mind.
Qin Yu lowered her eyes and did not respond, but she generally agreed with the Rock-Backed Beast's statement.
Shen Heng looked at the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Have you noticed any changes in the other Calamity Beast?"
"Uh, a change?" The ' Rock-Backed Beast ' Two-Horned Lizard frowned.
"Um."
Which aspect are you referring to?
"Regarding the attitude towards those Black Rat, and so on..."
manner?
The Two-Horned Lizard turned its head and began to recall.
However, this is actually outside its scope of observation.
After waking up today, it kept thinking about what it remembered, what it might do next, and other things...
"A bit... disrespectful?"
The sound came from the side.
The Two-Horned Lizard glanced at Qin Yu, who had spoken, and then turned to Shen Heng.
"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.
"Hmm?" The Two-Horned Lizard paused, then asked, "How did you figure out that those guys were disrespectful to the Black Rat?"
Shen Heng did not respond immediately, but looked at Qin Yu.
Seeing this, Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the captain's reply, "Because their discussions about the Black Rat have become much more explicit?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded, "Moreover, the Black Rat around us are becoming somewhat wary of their reaction!"
Discussions, vigilance... after hearing such detailed accounts, the Two-Horned Lizard thought about it carefully again and it seemed there really was such a thing.
but...
"Why?" It looked up at the two people who had just spoken.
Qin Yu was a little confused about this question, so she looked at the captain.
"I'm not entirely sure, but it's probably because..." Shen Heng paused for a moment,
"Due to our limited strength, we've killed far too many high-level Calamity Beast Calamity Beast. With their current power, it's difficult for them to control so many more, so we need to be even more wary of them."
"And for the same reason, the Calamity Beast below were no longer as afraid of those Black Rat as I remembered them before!"
As they listened, their heads nodded unconsciously.
Stone, standing to the side, also nodded in agreement.
"But what does this have to do with a riot?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked, raising its eyes.
Qin Yu also looked at the captain.
"If you want to incite them to revolt, you either have to oppress them to the extreme to ignite their rebellious spirit, or you have to give them hope, making them feel that they can get what they want through resistance," Shen Heng said.
"So," the Two-Horned Lizard nodded thoughtfully, "You want to make them think they can escape, and then cause a riot?!"
"It's not about letting them think that, given that we've indirectly killed Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, they were originally capable of escaping," Shen Heng said earnestly.
After saying that, he paused and glanced at the Two-Horned Lizard.
"Hiss, this guy's making me want to run away!" the Two-Horned Lizard muttered to itself, before seriously considering the plan.
Although there is an exit here, if the entire Black Stone Valley descends into chaos again, there is a very high probability that the Calamity Beast here will be transferred out to deal with those rioting Calamity Beast.
Even if we don't do that, let's take a step back and say...
The Calamity Beast throughout Black Stone Valley have rioted, so even if they don't go through the portal in front, they can follow the other Calamity Beast and head down other paths.
After all, just as Shen Heng just said.
With all the Fifth Tier Black Rat dead, and many Fourth Tier Black Rat having perished earlier, once the Calamity Beast of Black Stone Valley rampage, those Black Rat really won't be able to stop them!
but...
"How do you know so much?" The Two-Horned Lizard looked up with some confusion.
Shen Heng paused for a moment, unable to answer immediately.
He was simply acting subconsciously, analyzing the current situation and possible solutions based on the circumstances.
If I had to say...
"Perhaps although the memories have been forgotten, some instincts have remained?" Shen Heng said somewhat uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard nodded slightly.
The way this guy speaks now seems to lack the distinct, characteristic air he used to have when he spoke.
In my memory, even when the other party was uncertain about something, they always seemed to calmly explain the outcome.
But now...
You can clearly hear the hesitation and uncertainty in the other person's words.
It's alright, as long as you can provide a solution, there's no problem!
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but grin as it looked at Shen Heng.
"But even so, under the supervision of those Black Rat and the rule that we can't speak in the mine, it's almost impossible for us to connect almost all the Calamity Beast like we did last time, right?" Qin Yu asked.
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but look over again.
"This is quite different from before. Previously, they were forced to resist under oppressive conditions. Without prior contact, they might have cowered out of fear," Shen Heng said.
"But now, they aren't much afraid of those Black Rat. In this situation, if they see an opportunity to escape, there's a very high chance they'll join them on their own."
"Of course, we should still keep in touch."
"If we want other Calamity Beast to get involved, we need at least a group of leaders to take the lead and get things moving first."
"The leader?" Stone said, turning his gaze to the Rock-Backed Beast.
He didn't say anything, but everyone present understood what he meant.
Last time, it was the Rock-Backed Beast that handled it; this time, naturally...
"Do you remember exactly how you handled it last time?" Shen Heng asked, looking at the Rock-Backed Beast.
"I vaguely remember," the ' Rock-Backed Beast ' Two-Horned Lizard nodded, "But back then, it was because we could still talk inside the mine, so we didn't have to worry too much about being discovered, and there were also those Calamity Beast that could help us."
"Now, there are only two of those Calamity Beast left. Although they can still be of some help, it's almost impossible to finish quickly."
As it spoke, it paused, then looked up at Shen Heng and the others, and said...
"Including you guys, it should be a bit faster, but probably not by much."
The atmosphere once again became slightly somber.
What we lack now is time.
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then looked up.
"So..."
