Upon hearing this, the bird-like Calamity Beast proudly declared:
"We cannot fall for their trick. Since they want to lure us there, we must not go. All the beasts must remain where they are and guard their original positions."
Having said that, it raised its head high and stared intently at the One-Horned Lizard, as if waiting for its praise.
However, what awaited it was...
"Madness!"
The bird -Calamity Beast immediately retracted its neck.
All that could be heard was the One-Horned Lizard suddenly shouting angrily.
"What if we all stay still, and then those two-legged creatures discover our situation and realize we've seen through their trick?"
"At that point, they will undoubtedly adjust their plans and everyone will turn towards that direction!"
"If that's the case, even if it was fake at first, it will become real later!!"
"Then... what should we do?" the bird- Calamity Beast asked tremblingly.
Ignoring the bird- Calamity Beast's retracted neck, the One-Horned Lizard lizard continued:
"Therefore, we still need to send the other Calamity Beast over, but!"
"We can't send them all over, otherwise the other locations at the base will be in danger!"
Under the bewildered yet admiring gaze of the bird-like Calamity Beast, the One-Horned Lizard continued:
"We can do this: leave behind the strongest Calamity Beast in each direction."
"The rest of the Calamity Beast went over there to deal with the attacks from those two-legged insects."
"In this way, Lord Weeping Cypress Demon, who used to deal with those two-legged insects, can now deal with them as quickly as possible."
"Other places will also be blocked for us. Even if the main force of those two-legged insects attacks, we can hold them off until Weeping Cypress Demon and the others return."
"But... won't that put the adults who stay behind in great danger?" the bird-like Calamity Beast asked.
Actually, it meant that the adults who stayed behind would most likely die, but it felt too direct and inappropriate to say it out loud, so it was changed to "very dangerous".
"This is war, a war between two worlds!" the One-Horned Lizard lizard declared clearly and forcefully.
"Since it's war, what isn't dangerous?"
"In a place like this, any one of us beasts could be in danger at any moment."
"What? Do you want to see our base destroyed, and then go back and get punished by the other adults?" The One-Horned Lizard lizard squinted at the bird- Calamity Beast.
"No, no, I understand!"
The birds Calamity Beast shook their heads in panic.
"In that case, Lord One-Horned Lizard, let's hurry over to Lord Weeping Cypress Demon!"
"Why should I go?" the One-Horned Lizard lizard asked in a deep voice.
"If you don't go, then..."
The bird -Calamity Beast suddenly stopped speaking.
As if realizing something, it stared blankly at the silhouette of the One-Horned Lizard.
"You... you mean..."
"Yes, that's right!"
The birds Calamity Beast could hardly remember what exactly happened that day.
All it remembered was that, in the dim light of the night, the adult with the single horn nodded heavily and slowly.
The night was too dark for it to see the expression on the other person's face.
But imagining it, that face must have been filled with heaviness and resolve...
"I'll go and inform Lord Weeping Cypress Demon right away, and have it deal with those two-legged insects as soon as possible, then come and support you!"
"You must hold on until we get there..."
"You must live..."
The One-Horned Lizard sat quietly in place, watching the bird-like Calamity Beast gradually disappear into the distance, along with the other low-level Calamity Beast that followed it as it called out.
After a long while, its body suddenly relaxed.
"Damn it, what tribe is this guy from? He's so smart, I almost fooled him!"
The One-Horned Lizard sat there and said angrily.
Immediately, it breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Now that things have progressed to this point, it can finally relax.
Those two-legged insects will be held off by the other Calamity Beast; its job is to wait here until the final result is announced before making a decision.
Although it felt like those two-legged insects had been preparing for so long, they must have come with good intentions.
But since we haven't seen the result yet, if we run now and those two-legged creatures lose, wouldn't it be finished?
On the contrary, waiting here, where they won't be attacked by those two-legged insects and can peacefully await the results of the battle, is the safest option.
As for what it just said—that those two-legged insects feigned an attack in that direction before attacking this side—it wasn't very worried.
It's not that it thinks it can beat them, but if this situation really arises, it can easily use the excuse of not considering things carefully enough.
They said they forgot to leave one of the Calamity Beast behind to deliver the message, so it had to go and deliver the message itself.
Of course, by then, it would be best if its condition wasn't as perfect as it is now!
but...
The One-Horned Lizard frowned slightly, turned around, and stared seriously and intently in the direction outside.
Those two-legged creatures are better off staying away...
"Rui--"
A piercing and sharp roar echoed through the valley.
Somewhere in the valley, a figure covered in armor stood atop the corpse of a massive Calamity Beast.
This is a set of armor with a main color scheme that transitions from jet black to deep blue.
At the core of the armor, on the chest, there is a hexagonal gap that resembles a sound wave.
This gap is located not only at the chest, but also at the forearm and lower leg.
Two thin, blade-like structures extend from the back of the armor.
A dim, pale blue light shimmered faintly at the joints of the armor.
Shen Heng deftly pulled the longsword from the Calamity Beast's corpse and sheathed it behind his armor.
This suit of armor was developed by the Research Department at Shen Heng's request, using 60,000 points. The research department incorporated sound wave theory into the existing Fluid Battle Armor Fluid Battle Armor.
In addition to possessing the mobility and defensive capabilities of the original Fluid Battle Armor, it can also amplify sound-related attacks, such as Vibrating Blade and Flow Overclock...
Feeling the snug fit and the subtle support throughout his body, Shen Heng glanced at the people below.
Han Ling, like herself, wore Fluid Battle Armor;
Zheng Guomin wore traditional armor with a fixed structure;
As for Zhou Xuan and Qin Yu, their attire was no different from usual, but they each carried some other items.
Without pausing, Shen Heng jumped off the Calamity Beast's corpse and strode forward.
In his mind, the situation in various parts of the valley quickly formed.
" Deep Blue Squad, three Fourth Tier Calamity Beast and a large number of low-tier Calamity Beast are heading towards your location from the northwest. Be careful!"
" Howling Wind Squad, avoid the area directly ahead, head to the right and rendezvous with Waking of Insects Squad. Prioritize dealing with those five Fourth Tier Calamity Beast over there..."
One order after another was issued by Shen Heng.
Then, Shen Heng looked ahead with a slightly serious expression.
" Wang Hu, be careful, you're the first team to make contact with that Calamity Beast..."
