Seemingly sensing his thoughts, the Two-Horned Lizard glanced at him and said:
"Even if I send these Calamity Beast over, and there's more than one, with your abilities, you definitely have a way to either kill them or bypass them and escape on your own."
"In that case, why not let you investigate yourselves?"
"That way, even if you escape, the Calamity Beast that followed you won't be killed or anything."
"And based on your absence, I can determine for myself whether you found a way out and escaped, or whether you encountered danger and died."
"Then, based on this judgment, we will make our own decision."
At this point, the Two-Horned Lizard paused slightly, looking intently at the human.
"Of course, more importantly, we're in the same boat now. Rather than distrusting each other, I think it's more important to give each other enough trust at certain times, even when we're adversaries!"
Shen Heng lay on the ground, his gaze slightly fixed on the Two-Horned Lizard.
Where did this guy learn so many random things...?
Beside him, the Two-Horned Lizard subtly observed the human's reaction after speaking.
Hmm... I don't see the same shocking tendency as with other Calamity Beast; instead, I feel they're subtly becoming more wary.
Damn it, what's wrong with these humans? This trick isn't working?
The Two-Horned Lizard, somewhat bewildered, pulled its thoughts back to the present.
What is the impact of opposing factions?
Hmm, that's possible, but there's probably also a reason why this human is too powerful and difficult to manipulate!
It might be useful if it encountered a stupid human!
Okay, I'll try it later.
Thinking about this, the Two-Horned Lizard felt a headache coming on again.
Even if it wanted to try again later, it would have to find a way to get out of here first. Just thinking about its current situation gave it a headache.
If it weren't for the humans in front of it, it would probably be in even more trouble, and might not even have much hope of getting out.
The vast difference in strength, the insurmountable terrain, and the numerous, seemingly inescapable rules...
To be honest, if it weren't for the human in front of it, it probably wouldn't have dared to hope of escaping.
Of course, it's not certain that we can escape now.
But with this human beside it, it felt there was still a chance to get out, and perhaps even a pretty good chance.
If it weren't for the hostility, it would really want to stay by the other side.
hateful...
As for its behavior just now, part of it was indeed because of its statement, another part was because of the human's words, and yet another part was because...
This is only my first time going out.
To be honest, it felt that in this kind of world, trying to find a way out on your first outing was a bit too unrealistic.
In that case, it would be safer to let them go out first, get a general idea of the situation outside, and then consider going out.
This applies to both it and other Calamity Beast that come in from the outside.
"Alright, in that case, do you still need to take the Stone-Armored Beast to identify it?" Shen Heng asked.
"Uh... let's just forget about that." The Two-Horned Lizard said somewhat hesitantly. He had already said what he wanted to say, so it wouldn't be appropriate to ask to see it now.
Fortunately, if those two humans really wanted to run away, then even if it knew where that guy was, it wouldn't matter.
Shen Heng looked at the Two-Horned Lizard, "Since you've decided against it, then think about how to distract those Black Rat later."
"So soon?" The Two-Horned Lizard frowned.
"If I have time, I'd like to wait a little longer," Shen Heng said calmly.
There was no response. The Two-Horned Lizard frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised its gaze again. "If you only distract the Black Rat when you go out, what will you do when you come back?"
"We'll return to the mine during the day before you go there, so you can come back directly with us," Shen Heng said, his gaze calmly fixed on the Two-Horned Lizard. "This way, we can avoid too many unusual situations in a short period, which would attract the attention of the Black Rat!"
There was no response, but the Two-Horned Lizard nodded in agreement.
It had originally intended to remind the human to try to ascertain the situation outside within one or two attempts.
Otherwise, it really wouldn't have a way to keep those Black Rat away from its sight without being noticed by them...
In the Black Rat camp a little further away.
A group of Black Rat stood at the edge of the camp, their eyes fixed on the distant resting place of the enslaved Calamity Beast.
There were rows of Calamity Beast lying there, most of them resting, not necessarily asleep, but at least lying there motionless; a few, who still had some energy left, were chatting to pass the time.
They just stood there, silently watching.
The Black Rat with its Broken Tail also stared at that spot, its eyes full of hostility.
These creatures not only waste food, but they also instigated riots before, killing countless of their kind.
Now, not long after all, another guy is trying to escape.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that several mines still need these guys' help with mining, it really wouldn't think these guys had any reason to exist!
pity...
If only there existed in this world something that didn't need food, was obedient, and could diligently help with mining every day.
Just as he was thinking this, the Black Rat 'Broken Tail eyes suddenly twitched.
Suddenly, several Calamity Beast in one of the areas began to fight.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Calamity Beast instinctively scattered, creating a Xiaoxiao vacuum in the vicinity.
Then, one after another, the Calamity Beast, hearing the commotion, looked over curiously.
Some of the Calamity Beast that were resting or asleep also stood up and looked over.
Many of the Calamity Beast, because they were some distance away and not tall enough, even stood up on their hind legs and looked towards that direction.
In a place where all you do is rest and mine, it's quite a novel thing to see Calamity Beast fighting!
For many days afterward, they could get by on this.
Information such as what kind of Calamity Beast were involved in the fight, which mine they came from, why they were fighting, and what the outcome was, etc.
Similarly, those on the Black Rat camp side, who were already watching the Black Rat there, turned their gazes directly over there.
Some watched the spectacle, some were indifferent, and some frowned.
The Black Rat, its Broken Tail, stood up and exhaled a somewhat irritated breath from its nose.
According to the rules, it's its turn to take charge this time.
Fighting is rare, but it's not entirely unheard of in Black Stone Valley.
They're just a bunch of brainless idiots; they'll occasionally start a fight over the Xiaoxiao things...
