Chapter 266: This Trump Card Is Enough 2
“It’s our Scout squad’s responsibility to investigate the direction of the beast tide. What do you mean by what to do? Of course he had to go. However, be careful when you go over.”
Everyone nodded with a serious expression.
If they were discovered by so many beasts, they would be finished.
“Restrain your aura and use your talismans.”
Grott ordered.
He took out a gray talisman and used it.
After using it, Grotte’s aura became much weaker. If one didn’t see it with their eyes, they wouldn’t be able to feel it.
Lu Yuan and the others also took out their talismans to use.
This was an aura-concealing talisman, a treasure given to them by the military.
Because it was very precious, everyone only had one. After using it, they had to report it before they could get another one.
After using the aura concealing talismans, they quietly followed in the direction of the aura.
The speed of the beast tide was not too fast. It did not take long for Lu Yuan and the others to approach the direction of the aura.
As they got closer, they heard a series of low roars, and the ground trembled slightly under the running of the fierce beasts.
The few of them tested each other’s skills. Grott made a hand gesture and went up to the crown of a tree, slowly moving over.
Then, with the help of the dim Starlight, they saw a dense horde of fierce beasts running by not far away.
There were all kinds of ferocious beasts, such as the black-scaled demonic wolf, Night Demon dog, black-bladed leopard, and so on.
The aura of these fierce beasts were all second or third rank. To Lu Yuan’s relief, he did not sense the aura of fourth rank.
Lu Yuan’s gaze swept across the surroundings. Grott and the others had grave expressions as they stared at the beast tide.
Grott made a hand gesture, and they moved away from the monster horde. Grott then said,
“There are about 2000 beasts, most of which are Level 3 beasts. Judging from the direction they are moving, they will miss camp 256. However, if they go straight, they will probably Encounter Camp 219.”
“Captain, what should we do?”
Grott pondered for a moment and said, “although there are many of them, they are not very strong. We can inform the vanguard to annihilate them. Our camp can take them down.
Upon hearing this, the few people’s eyes lit up and they revealed a smile.
“Then captain, why are you still standing there? Quickly inform them!”
Yang Qiu urged.
During the beast tide period, annihilating a small beast tide was a considerable amount of military merits. As the small scouting team that discovered the beast tide, they naturally received a lot of military merits.
Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up. Didn’t he come for the military merits?
Although the previous patrol mission also gave military merits, it was definitely not as much as discovering and monitoring the movements of the beast tide.
What’s more, when the vanguard arrived, he could also annihilate the beasts.
“I’ll inform you now,” Grott grinned. “I’ll inform you now.”
Just as the few of them were conversing, in the beast tide, a dog-like beast with dark red fur, a single horn, and two strange black feelers suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of Lu Yuan and the others.
Its two black feelers trembled slightly, then its blood-red eyes flashed with cold killing intent as it let out an angry roar.
Under the roar of this dog-like fierce beast, the other fierce beasts also roared one after another.
Then, the dog-like fierce beast led a group of fierce beasts and changed their direction, charging in the direction of Lu Yuan and the others.
Lu Yuan and the others, who were informing the vanguards, felt it the moment the monster horde changed direction.
Their expressions changed drastically.
“What’s going on? The direction of the beast tide had changed! They’re coming our way!”
Grott immediately said,
“Don’t do it on the beast tide’s route. Don’t engage in direct confrontation. With the aura concealing effect, we shouldn’t have been discovered.”
The few of them moved away from the beast tide.
However, just as they moved, the beast tide followed them and moved again.
Yang Qiu’s face froze.
“Dammit! Could it be that those bastards have discovered us?”
“That shouldn’t be the case. We clearly used the breath-concealing talisman.”
Everyone was shocked, but they didn’t dare to stop. The beasts were right behind them. If they stopped, they would be swallowed.
At this moment, Lu Yuan and the others felt that many fierce beasts had left the beast tide and were speeding towards them.
Their expressions changed drastically.
“Drink the speed potion!” Grott said. “Drink the speed potion!”
Everyone drank the speed potion, but found that the beasts were approaching them quickly.
“What a fast speed, what should we do? We can’t outrun them!”
Ding Wen looked behind him, and his face turned slightly pale.
At this speed, they would be caught in less than ten seconds.
At this moment, Lu Yuan took out a green talisman and injected spirit energy into it. The talisman was activated.
Gusts of wind blew past, wrapping around Lu Yuan and the others.
After that, their speed increased by a large margin. For a Rank 2 boss-class genetic warrior like Ding Wen, their speed was almost doubled.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, their faces full of shock.
They turned to look at Lu Yuan.
Grott said,
“A Yuan, where did this talisman come from? The effect is so strong.”
Lu Yuan smiled. “It’s not bad. You guys should know that I had some gains in the Aier mechanical ruins. That’s why I have something.”
“What a joke! This was a tier 2 overlord-ranked group acceleration rune. Its effects were naturally excellent.”
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, their speed could barely keep up with those fierce beasts.
At this speed, as long as they continued to run, they would be able to run back to camp.
The beasts behind them also felt the increase in speed of Lu Yuan and the others.
