Qin Yu looked at the captain.
For some reason, she had a feeling that the captain had asked her that question on purpose.
Shaking her head, without giving it much thought, Qin Yu focused her mind.
" Sister Liya."
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible. They're just some fake, created things. How could they possibly mobilize that power!" the voice in my head replied without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu narrowed her eyes, and just as she was about to repeat it, the voice in her mind paused and added:
"Uh... unless, there's some special rule that allows them to make those calls!"
Special, rules?
Qin Yu paused, then focused her gaze back on the captain, and said:
"The probability is probably low. After all, they're not fake, are they? If they're fake, it's unlikely that you can access that power."
"Besides, we stayed in Black Stone Valley for so long and never saw them use it. If they did, they should have had it before!"
"However, there might still be a tiny possibility, such as some special method that would allow them to invoke that power!"
Is it highly unlikely to work?
Shen Heng lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
If this wasn't set up by the Black Rat themselves, then it means it's a rule that this world automatically generated after the last riot?
This rule...
The scene fell silent.
The three Calamity Beast were each lost in their own thoughts.
That cloud is quite beautiful... Stone thought silently as he looked at the clouds in the night sky.
"Gather as much intelligence as possible over the next couple of days, then decide how to proceed," Shen Heng instructed, raising his eyes.
"Okay, I understand!" Qin Yu nodded.
"When gathering intelligence, be careful. If there's one rule, there's no guarantee there won't be a second. Even if your abilities can largely guarantee your safety, you should still be cautious," Shen Heng said.
"I understand!" Qin Yu nodded.
Stone, standing to the side, turned his head to look, then turned his gaze to Lord Shen Heng and said:
"Lord Shen Heng, should I also go and gather intelligence?"
Shen Heng looked over, "No need, just stay here and mine diligently these days..."
About half an hour later.
A Coiling Mountain Beast walked slowly among the herd.
Many of the Calamity Beast that hadn't rested yet glanced at it but didn't pay much attention, continuing to chat with the other Calamity Beast nearby.
Shen Heng walked slowly, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the side.
Suddenly, he paused, looked in a certain direction, and then adjusted his position slightly before heading in that direction.
A while later, a Tier 2 Rock-Backed Beast came into his view.
Seemingly sensing the gaze, the Rock-Backed Beast looked over.
Then, it paused for a moment, but quickly turned to joy.
They exchanged a glance, and then, without prior arrangement, headed in the same direction.
After a while, they gathered in a nearby area.
"You didn't escape either?" the ' Rock-Backed Beast ' Two-Horned Lizard asked, a hint of joy in its voice.
"Hmm, are you happy?" Shen Heng asked, looking at the Two-Horned Lizard.
"No, no!" the Two-Horned Lizard exclaimed, its excitement making no attempt to conceal.
Shen Heng was somewhat speechless, but didn't seem to care too much. "Alright, was this incident caused by you guys?"
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard took a breath to calm itself down, then looked at the 'human' in front of it.
It pondered for a moment, then asked instead of replying:
"Have you gathered any intelligence today?"
Shen Heng stared at the Two-Horned Lizard with a slightly narrowed gaze. Sometimes, not replying is also a form of reply.
So, is the problem really with them? Did some of their Calamity Beast escape, causing this? No, if any Calamity Beast escaped, they shouldn't even know.
As the thought crossed his mind, Shen Heng paused for a moment and then recounted the information he had exchanged with Qin Yu earlier.
After a moment, the Two-Horned Lizard silently nodded.
Communicating with this human is so convenient; he provides more information than the others combined.
"... Alright, was this incident caused by you?" Shen Heng asked again.
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard looked over.
It paused for a moment, but instead of avoiding the topic again, it nodded and said, "Yes, it was caused by us."
"What are the specifics?" Shen Heng asked.
You know that Steel-Mane Bear, right?
"Um."
"When it went out earlier, it encountered the chieftain of the Black Rat Clan, and then..."
The voices spoke.
Shen Heng's expression grew increasingly somber.
Did this situation arise because it made the Calamity Beast inside realize that this world might be fake? Could it be any ordinary Calamity Beast, or only high-ranking members of the Black Rat Clan, or even the Black Rat Chief, do this?
"... In short, that's roughly the situation!" the Two-Horned Lizard said.
Shen Heng raised his gaze. "How do you know all this so clearly?"
"I got that from that guy! You didn't think I was just wandering around here, did you? I'm looking for them too!" said the Two-Horned Lizard.
Shen Heng wasn't surprised by the Two-Horned Lizard's actions; what truly surprised him was, "That guy asked that? The Steel-Mane Bear is still alive?"
"Hmm." The Two-Horned Lizard nodded.
"It wasn't killed by the Black Rat Chief?" Shen Heng frowned even more deeply.
"Uh, I'm surprised too, but it definitely wasn't killed!" The Two-Horned Lizard wasn't surprised by the humans' astonishment. "After the Black Rat Chief finished questioning it and realized this world was fake, it started acting crazy. So, it didn't kill it, and by the time it came to its senses, it was back, just like us!"
There was no response; Shen Heng frowned, deep in thought.
Even if they didn't kill him then, they should have killed him later!
And now...
If he's still alive, what is the Black Rat Chief doing?
No, that's not right.
Shen Heng raised his gaze and looked at the Two-Horned Lizard.
It's quite strange that the Two-Horned Lizard is still alive!
As the one who initially led the charge, how come it wasn't targeted by the Black Rat?
Judging from the surrounding situation, those Black Rat clearly remembered the previous riot, but they just didn't look for them.
They were forcibly transported back, so in return, the Black Rat forgot about the Calamity Beast involved in the riot?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" The Two-Horned Lizard asked, shrinking back slightly. It had a feeling that the human in front of it was looking at it strangely.
"Nothing much. Did you receive any intelligence today?" Shen Heng asked, gathering his thoughts.
The Two-Horned Lizard frowned, somewhat puzzled, but still managed to refocus its attention and said:
"No, you've already said everything you needed to say. But so far, I've only found five guys. There are still a few I haven't found yet. Maybe they'll have some useful information later!"
