Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shen Heng slowly said:
"... Instead, we should destroy the place where this Calamity Beast came from!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, with only the cold wind whistling through the air, as if the previous controversy had never existed.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
After a long silence, Lin Zhaoran took a light breath and looked at Shen Heng, saying:
"Couldn't it be Sixth Tier Calamity Beast that comes in person?"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng turned to look at Lin Zhaoran and said calmly:
"Of course it's possible, but if that's the case, then the operation to destroy the Anchor Point can no longer continue. Trying to destroy the Anchor Point right under the noses of Sixth Tier being is far too risky!"
"Then how can you be sure that what's here isn't Sixth Tier Calamity Beast?" Lin Zhaoran continued to ask.
Shen Heng,
"No need to confirm, we'll know once we go and take a look."
"If the high-level Calamity Beast over there have left, then they have most likely appeared near these last two Anchor Point."
"If they haven't left, that means there are other Calamity Beast here that will target us!"
"You already know the location?" Wang Hu asked, his eyes slightly darkening.
Shen Heng:
"Regarding our strength, the Calamity Beast can roughly deduce it based on the reports from the other Anchor Point."
"In other words, they will definitely send out the Calamity Beast."
"And the number of Calamity Beast capable of eliminating us with just one or a few is actually quite small in the entire Erosion Zone; the closest one..."
There was a pause in his speech, followed by a flash of light.
Everyone instinctively looked over and saw a map of the Erosion Zone projected into the air.
In the projection, two points of light shimmered faintly.
One is the red dot where they are now, and the other is the thick gray dot of light to the northeast...
Two days later.
The group stood atop a mountain, gazing into the distance.
The barren mountains rise and fall, and one after another, Calamity Beast linger and swirl in the air.
" Sister Zhaoran, look! There are even patrolling and guarding Calamity Beast here at the Eye of Earth Marrow!" Yu Yanhui pointed at the Calamity Beast in the distance, her eyes widening slightly.
"After all, it's one of only three places that provide crystals for the Anchor Point. In terms of importance, this place is probably one of the most important even in the entire Erosion Zone." Lin Zhaoran was also looking in that direction.
"That's true!" Yu Yanhui.
The closest place to the last two Anchor Point, capable of dealing with the Calamity Beast, is a location that provides a stable space for the Anchor Point with crystals.
There are three such places in total, and they are all marked on the map!
The base also gave these three places names— Eye of Earth Marrow 1/2/3!
Now, although they've found us, but...
Lin Zhaoran turned her head slightly and looked at a young man not far away.
Hopefully, more of the Calamity Beast will leave; otherwise, even if the Late Fifth Tier Calamity Beast guarding this place leaves, the rest will be beyond their ability to handle!
"How's it going here?" Wang Hu's voice rang out in the team channel.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Shen Heng.
Even though they could hear the conversation through their personal terminals, they still subconsciously tried to find the person who was about to speak.
Shen Heng slowly turned his gaze away from the distance and said:
"There are approximately 2,200 Calamity Beast remaining, including one Early Fifth Tier beast, 42 Fourth Tier beasts, over 300 Third Tier beasts, and the rest vary, totaling around 1,800."
"Compared to the previous findings, there is one less Late Fifth Tier Calamity Beast and sixteen fewer Fourth Tier Calamity Beast."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone frowned to varying degrees.
Although it's now fairly certain that the Calamity Beast have indeed passed away, the problem is that the number remaining seems to be beyond their capacity to handle.
Wang Hu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Liang Yanhao.
Liang Yanhao frowned and then spoke:
"If that's the case, we can't fight here either!"
"As expected?"... Wang Hu chuckled disdainfully and said:
"We can't fight there, we can't fight here, so where can we fight?"
Liang Yanhao frowned, not paying much attention to Wang Hu's words, and simply began to explain his own thoughts.
"It's not that I don't support actions against the Ruins Realm, it's just that the risks are too great, and it's not something we should be doing!"
"So what do you want to do? Find something that's 100% safe?" Wang Hu's voice deepened.
"We had a hard time dealing with even one Anchor Point before. Now, there are far more Calamity Beast here than Anchor Point. Do you really think we can handle them?" Liang Yanhao calmly stared at Wang Hu.
"A direct confrontation is obviously not an option," Wang Hu said, not wanting to be reckless.
"But most of the Calamity Beast are down below, so we don't need to confront Calamity Beast all head-on. We just need to start from the ground and push them down little by little."
"The underground area is only so big; there aren't many Calamity Beast that can fight us at the same time!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yanhao frowned and pondered for a moment, but still shook his head.
"The risks are still too great, and even if..."
As the controversy between the two continued, more and more people joined in, and it seemed to have returned to the way it was before.
Shen Heng did not participate; he gazed into the distance, deep in thought.
To be honest, the current composition of the Calamity Beast left behind by the Eye of Earth Marrow is indeed beyond their ability to deal with.
Even if you reduce the number of beasts by half (excluding the Fifth Tier Calamity Beast), it still won't be enough!
but...
After a moment, Shen Heng slowly withdrew his gaze.
He glanced around at everyone before his gaze settled on the figure carrying a thick-backed sword.
Seemingly noticing his gaze, Liang Yanhao looked over.
Then, Wang Hu, who had been watching Liang Yanhao closely, also turned his gaze over, and more and more people looked over as well.
The mountaintop gradually quieted down.
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Heng looked at Liang Yanhao and calmly said:
Do you think we shouldn't go?
"The risk is too great. If we go, we're very likely to all perish there," Liang Yanhao said without hesitation.
"How about a solution?"
What plan?
"We'll infiltrate underground, get directly to the vicinity of the target, plant the explosives, and then infiltrate back underground," Shen Heng said.
Unlike the Anchor Point, the Eye of Earth Marrow is more like a mineral vein.
If they want to destroy the Anchor Point, they only need to take away the crystals, but they can't do that with the ore veins.
Therefore, they did not intend to destroy the entire Eye of Earth Marrow, but only intended to destroy the core area of Eye of Earth Marrow.
This can be achieved by the explosive rounds still remaining on each person's person!
