Qin Yu turned her gaze to the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni.
There's nothing strange about it; it's just a regular tail connected to its body.
Or rather, apart from its scorpion-like tail hook, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni has nothing particularly strange about it.
Furthermore, if their size is shrunk further, they become indistinguishable from ordinary animals.
"The tail hook is broken. Will it have a big impact on it?" Qin Yu asked in a low voice, her gaze fixed on the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni that had begun to move.
"Of course it's big! It's practically a second life for them!" the voice in his mind replied loudly.
Without questioning, Qin Yu glanced again at the point where the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni's body connected to its tail hook, "But the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni is too fast, and that point is very small..."
In their field of vision, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni was rapidly approaching this location, passing over one Calamity Beast after another.
The artillery fire was directed at it, but none of it could get close enough to even explode near it and have any impact.
"So!" the voice in my head replied, "Didn't I tell you to reply that you might not be able to kill it, but driving it away shouldn't be a problem?"
"But if I can't hit its weakness, can't it just attack relentlessly?" Qin Yu frowned slightly.
The rest was left unsaid, but it was clear.
One, rated A+, and specifically marked as requiring 3 people to hold off, and 5 people can attempt to kill it.
One of them has an ability level of only B-Class.
If a fight really broke out, could they win?
This was also the concern of those who advised abandoning the operation when the situation with the Calamity Beast was discovered.
"Others might not be able to get rid of it, but you can!" The voice in my head was full of confidence.
"Can I?" Qin Yu frowned slightly, her tone tinged with doubt.
"Of course!" the voice in my mind replied without hesitation. "What I meant by 'missing' is that before you can attack the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni's weak point, it might realize it and then resist, which is why you can't hit it!"
"Is there a difference?" Qin Yu asked.
"Hmm..." The voice in his mind pondered for a moment, then said, "We don't need to hit the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni. We just need to make it realize that someone here knows its weakness and is intentionally attacking it."
He paused, then said with a hint of schadenfreude:
"At that time, its cunning nature will make it suspicious, wondering if something is amiss. It will then stop on its own and, for the sake of its own survival, retreat!"
"Is that so...?" Qin Yu. She thought for a moment and said, "So, if we bring other people, we can also drive it away in this way?"
"No, have you forgotten the true nature of your power?" the voice asked.
"Essence..." Qin Yu paused, then said, "Concealment?"
"That's right, it's stealth!" the voice echoed. "Only you can make the attack only be detected when it's about to hit the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni, and only in this way can the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni realize that we are attacking its weakness."
The voice paused for a moment, then continued:
"If it were anyone else, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni would immediately recognize the attack and dodge it; it wouldn't realize that the other party knew its weakness."
"At this point, the only way to kill it or drive it away is through strength!"
"But killing the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni by strength alone won't be that easy!"
Qin Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.
She took the longbow off her back, and nocked an arrow on the bowstring with her fingertips.
She didn't draw the bow immediately; the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni was still some distance away.
The voice in my mind continued.
"If you ask me, you should spend more time honing your abilities. If your abilities reach A-Class, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni won't be able to react in time, and then you can break its tail hook."
"If you advance to S-Class, you can even walk up to the Hook-Tailed Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni, twist its head, and it won't notice you until it feels its head being twisted abnormally!"
"At that point, you can even kick your captain out and become the captain yourself!"
The voice spoke while laughing, seemingly looking forward to the future.
"Even if I become stronger than the captain in the future, I will not do that!" Qin Yu said.
The laughter in his mind paused, as if he had sensed the seriousness in Qin Yu's words, and he restrained himself, saying...
"I was just saying!"
Having said that, his voice rose slightly.
"But your captain is pretty amazing! He's a native, and his ability is only B-Class, yet he's managed to do this much? Why don't you let him come with me too!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu lowered her eyes and pondered seriously for a moment.
Seeing this, the voice in my mind quickly said:
"Stop, stop, stop! I was just saying, you actually want to? With your captain's personality, if he knew about me, he'd hand me over to that country the moment he found out!"
Hearing this, Qin Yu pondered for a moment and realized it was indeed very likely, so she had to abandon the idea.
Seeing this, the voice in my mind finally breathed a sigh of relief and reminded me:
"Alright, we're almost within attack range, get ready!"
Qin Yu raised her eyes, slowly raising and drawing back the longbow in her hand.
With its tail hook swaying, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni leaped forward, leaping out of the main range of the beast tide.
The moment its feet touched the ground, it exerted force again, gliding to the side.
Because of its proximity, the missile exploded even closer to it, but still couldn't hit it!
Ignoring them, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni looked with some confusion at the humans entangled with the Calamity Beast not far away.
"Strange, just as we were about to come over, those human missiles attacked. Why aren't they stopping us now that we're here?"
"Because they're only Fourth Tier, they know they can't beat me, so they don't come to their deaths?"
Although based on the information it had just gathered from its observations, there seemed to be no problem, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni still felt something was off.
Just as it was considering whether to slow down, its figure suddenly froze.
The long tail, which had been trailing straight behind, suddenly swung to the side.
"Clang!"
The metallic clang.
One of them was flung straight away.
Somewhat puzzled, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni looked towards its own tail.
Didn't you realize when you missed something?
Before it could think any further, arrow after arrow came flying at it.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni resisted, but its forward running slowed down time and time again.
Finally, it stopped, its gaze darting hesitantly in this direction...
