Shen Heng nodded and didn't say anything more.
"So, what's your plan for getting out of here?" The Two-Horned Lizard asked, looking at the 'human' before it.
"I'm just like you, I just came from the mine, what could I possibly be thinking?" Shen Heng raised his eyes slightly.
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard wore a relieved expression, as if to say, but a subtle hint of worry lingered in its eyes.
"However, it's not like we're completely without a plan." Shen Heng looked at the Two-Horned Lizard. "For the next two days, focus on gathering intelligence. If nothing too unusual happens, then, as before, our main objective will be to leave Black Stone Valley and get out!"
Hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard relaxed slightly, then seemed to remember something, frowning slightly as it said:
"But how will we get out then? Things are so strict now; we can't incite other Calamity Beast to riot like before, can we?!"
"We'll see when the time comes. I don't have any good ideas for now," Shen Heng said.
The Two-Horned Lizard pursed its lips slightly, but finally nodded.
"If there's nothing else, that's fine. Go find the other Calamity Beast later and tell them to keep an eye on the surroundings for the next couple of days and see if anything unusual happens. I'll come back to find you tomorrow!" Shen Heng said, standing up from the ground.
"Okay!" the Two-Horned Lizard nodded in agreement.
Shen Heng turned around, but paused slightly after taking just one step.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Two-Horned Lizard again.
"By the way, I have a question for you!"
"What's the problem?" The Two-Horned Lizard looked over with some confusion.
"What did you do with that Steel-Mane Bear?" Shen Heng asked.
There was no immediate response; the Two-Horned Lizard remained rooted to the spot.
It's fine if we don't mention it, but it gets angry as soon as we do.
If it weren't for that guy, it might already be getting ready to leave!
As a result... not only because of it, but also because of it, I'm still here now. When I heard it report this news earlier, I had to suppress my anger and comfort the Steel-Mane Bear.
Thinking about this made the Two-Horned Lizard even angrier.
There was no other way, and that guy might still be useful later, otherwise it really wanted to kill him!
Thinking this to himself, the Two-Horned Lizard sighed:
"It wasn't intentional. If it had known this would happen, then... Anyway, it didn't do that because it knew things would turn out this way, so I didn't do anything to it, just reminded it to be more careful next time!"
"What about the other Calamity Beast?"
"Hmm... I don't plan to explain this to them clearly. If they find out, they might have a problem with the Steel-Mane Bear! I'll just tell them that I found this information through other means!" the Two-Horned Lizard explained.
There was no response. The human looked at it thoughtfully, and after a moment, nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
"Um!"
The Two-Horned Lizard nodded, then watched the 'human's' departing figure.
It only withdrew its gaze when it could no longer pinpoint the other's location.
"Damn it, that idiot Steel-Mane Bear, that moron..."
After cursing inwardly several times, the Two-Horned Lizard finally turned its thoughts back with some resentment.
Regardless, the most important thing now is what to do next, and how to leave this world.
Next, let's do as that human suggested: first, let the Calamity Beast below gather intelligence, and then we'll see what to do next!
But I didn't expect that human hadn't left yet either?
Well, if they didn't go out, then it definitely wasn't the first route they chose, like the ordinary Calamity Beast, which is to escape by crossing the outer ring of mountains!
If they really had to choose this path, given their circumstances, they would either have gotten out or died; there's no way they'd still be here!
In other words, they chose the second option, or like us, they thought they could wait until the Black Rat relaxed their guard a little before going out?
"Damn it, I knew these humans were up to no good!" the Two-Horned Lizard thought angrily.
They were only given one path up the mountain and one at the mouth of the valley, without any mention of being able to escape later.
Of course, I didn't lie to them!
However, regardless of the circumstances, we must remain wary of these humans.
Going forward, when faced with tasks they are tasked with, they need to think more carefully!
but...
The other party didn't say it, but I could guess it myself.
Sure enough, I'm quite clever too!
The Two-Horned Lizard nodded slightly in satisfaction, then looked up at the Calamity Beast beside it that wasn't paying attention to it, got up, and continued its search.
More than two hours later.
The Two-Horned Lizard lay on the ground, its brow furrowed as it stared at the figures lying prone before it.
Damn, so many are missing again...
The next day.
The herd of animals headed towards the mine.
A Third Tier Shadow Wolf, with fairly strong steps, walked forward.
The Coiling Mountain Beast followed beside it.
Stone looked around to make sure no Calamity Beast were paying attention to them, then glanced at Lord Shen Heng beside him before quickly looking away and whispering:
"Lord Shen Heng, how do you plan to gather intelligence today?"
"While mining, observe carefully. Also, ask another Calamity Beast." Shen Heng walked forward without shifting his gaze.
"Ah?"
Stone glanced over instinctively; what was in front was one thing, but what was behind...
"But isn't mining prohibited inside the mine?" it asked.
"Yes, I know."
"That...?"
"We can ask after we finish mining," Shen Heng said.
"Oh, I see!" Stone nodded.
"By the way, did you see that Shadow Wolf that was following me earlier?" Shen Heng glanced at Stone Tou.
"That Tier 2 one, the one that turned around to my side?" Stone asked.
"Um."
"No, during the previous riot, when the other Calamity Beast came looking for me, I separated from it in order to get away from it. When I came back this time, I didn't see it next to me," Stone said.
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"Hmm... Lord Shen Heng, are you planning to ask that guy?" Stone asked.
"Yes, it's the most suitable." Shen Heng said, paused, and added, "If it were still alive."
Upon hearing this, Stone nodded in agreement.
The herd of beasts moved forward.
Soon, we stopped at the foot of a familiar mountain.
One after another, the Calamity Beast waited, awaiting that familiar notification and command.
However, this time seemed somewhat different from usual.
The Black Rat scattered on both sides did not disperse as usual, but instead remained on the side, looking at them with slightly malicious eyes.
After a brief pause, one of the Calamity Beast finally noticed something was wrong and looked around.
Then, the atmosphere quickly spread.
One after another, the Calamity Beast looked around nervously and fearfully.
