"Alright, let's continue the evacuation!"
Lin Zhaoran looked at the crowd in front of her and said.
Upon hearing this, the noisy noise subsided, and figures turned to look.
Immediately afterwards, responses rang out one after another.
"Yes!"
"Clear!"
"..."
The line that had been standing still began to move forward quickly again.
No one reminded them, but everyone's pace quickened unconsciously.
The three of them remained standing in the same spot.
Yu Yanhui watched the rapidly departing procession, raised her hand, and lightly patted her chest, saying:
"That scared me to death! I thought the Bronze Skull Beast was going to find us!"
"With so many people, it's normal for things to get out of control. Luckily, it was just a quick glance, not a direct stare, otherwise we would most likely have been spotted by the Bronze Skull Beast!" Lin Zhaoran said.
"Hmm, this sixth sense thing is such a hassle!" Yu Yanhui pouted and said.
If a normal person is stared at for a long time, they may notice something unusual and instinctively look towards the source of the unusualness.
And this ability, along with the increase in rank and the growth in mental strength, greatly increases the likelihood of being detected!
While there's no guarantee you'll always notice someone spying on you, it certainly increases your chances of doing so!
Therefore, all reconnaissance personnel are instructed not to focus on high-level Calamity Beast alone for extended periods when entering the Erosion Zone to learn reconnaissance skills.
As for the other warriors...
You can learn it on your own, but the training center doesn't require you to.
After all, ordinary warriors are unlikely to encounter high-level Calamity Beast. Even if they do, without reconnaissance abilities, the moment they can see and confirm the other party's identity, the distance between them is probably already... not far away!
The three of them stood still.
After a pause, Yu Yanhui to look at Lin Zhaoran.
" Sister Zhaoran, aren't you leaving?"
"No..."
Lin Zhaoran her mouth, but didn't continue speaking, as if she hadn't figured out what she wanted to say yet.
Qin Yu looked at Lin Zhaoran.
Her brows were furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.
Recalling that after the reconnaissance personnel reported the situation, the other side did not immediately give orders, but instead waited a while before standing up...
" Captain Lin, were you just worried about the Bronze Skull Beast?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoran looked over.
She paused, then asked:
"Just?"
"Yes, that's after the scouts reported that the Bronze Skull Beast had left." Qin Yu paused, then looked at Lin Zhaoran and continued, "Including now."
There was no immediate reply; Lin Zhaoran stood there.
She paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Hmm, I'm wondering if that Bronze Skull Beast really is gone!"
"Huh? Really? You're gone?"
Yu Yanhui stood to the side, repeating those two words with some astonishment.
"This... didn't the scouts just say that the Bronze Skull Beast had already left? Considering the range of Fourth Tier scout's ability, that's at least tens of kilometers away. If it's already traveled tens of kilometers, it can't be fake, right? Who would disguise themselves and travel that far?!"
"That's why I hesitated just now," Lin Zhaoran continued, his eyes filled with seriousness, "I can't be sure whether the Bronze Skull Beast really left or just pretended to!"
"Then, this..."
Yu Yanhui her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Qin Yu stood quietly to the side, watching Lin Zhaoran.
"So, it's already decided?"
"Hmm," Lin Zhaoran looked at Qin Yu and nodded slightly.
"Although we dealt with the Calamity Beast blocking our way along the way, we only dealt with Calamity Beast that were in our path; we didn't deal with the Calamity Beast that were further away."
"In other words, if the Bronze Skull Beast truly realizes something is wrong and inquires with the other Calamity Beast, it's highly likely it will obtain information about us."
"At that point, those of us left here will just be waiting to die."
"Therefore, regardless of whether the Bronze Skull Beast is really leaving or not, for us, the best option now is to evacuate immediately."
The two people beside them remained silent.
Those ahead, did you see any of the Calamity Beast that showed signs of their retreat...?
They hadn't considered this. If the Bronze Skull Beast really did it this way, then there would probably be no other option but to retreat immediately.
Instinctively, Yu Yanhui turned her head to look in the direction where the Bronze Skull Beast had just left.
After a moment, he looked away.
She glanced at the line of people that was almost disappearing ahead and said:
"Should we hurry up and catch up now?"
"Well, but before that..."
Lin Zhaoran looked down at the ground beneath her feet.
"We need to think of a way to leave some reminders here."
"A reminder?" Qin Yu also looked down at the ground.
"Yes, if the Bronze Skull Beast really comes back, then we can try to leave something here to make it come down. Then, through explosions or something, we can let the reconnaissance personnel find it sooner!" Lin Zhaoran nodded.
"So, we need two things: one that can be left alone and explode under certain conditions to create a loud enough sound attack? And the other is a way to lure the Bronze Skull Beast down?" Qin Yu whispered, looking at the ground.
"I have the means of attack. I have a Azure Talisman Jade that can hold a Fifth Tier attack, and I've been charging it up recently. With the Azure Talisman Jade, I should be able to create a loud enough sound. The problem now is..."
Lin Zhaoran looked up.
"Is there any way to get the Bronze Skull Beast down and then trigger the Azure Talisman Jade's attack?"
"Well, it's not stupid. Why would it come down just because you tell it to? Besides, it already knows you're running forward. Why not just chase after it? What are you doing here?!"
Complaints echoed in my mind.
Qin Yu did not reply, silently staring at the ground in thought.
Beside him, Yu Yanhui also tilted her head, her brows furrowed in deep thought.
Lin Zhaoran glanced at the two of them, then looked away.
She received no reply, which was expected.
After all, luring the Calamity Beast down and making it stand in their desired location was a very real possibility...
" Sister Zhaoran, how about this!"
A sound suddenly came.
Lin Zhaoran looked up in surprise and gazed at Yu Yanhui.
Beside her, Qin Yu looked up in confusion.
Yu Yanhui extended her index finger and drew a circle in front of her, saying:
"We can leave some writing of the Calamity Beast on the ground. If the Bronze Skull Beast sees it, it will definitely be unable to resist coming down!"
