Chapter 349: Chapter 132: One Good News, One Bad News_3
So when Lin Su asked if anyone had exploration skills earlier, Ye Han did not speak up.
Only when he saw the Shadow Clone of Ghost faced difficulties did he hesitate for a mont before volunteering his suggestion.
“Earthquake Wave…” Lin Su frowned slightly.
He was very clear about the ability of this skill.
If the Split Rock Lizard’s Earthquake Wave ability had been more proficient, reaching Level II or above, it might have been worth a try.
But it had just learned it, and not only could it not detect anything, but it might also alert the enemy.
Huh…
Wait a minute!
Lin Su looked at the towering Split Rock Lizard beside Ye Han, and then at Ghost beside him, his face showing a hint of strangeness.
If startling the creature wouldn’t work, then…
How about a feint, a distraction to the east and attack to the west?
“I think I have a plan!” He quickly spoke up and began discussing with the rest of the team.
Soon, Ghost took action.
It conjured a Shadow Clone once again and used Shadow Concealnt to carefully approach the depths of the cave, just like before.
With the experience from the last ti, Ghost moved with familiar ease, controlling the clone more comfortably.
Soon, Ghost’s clone arrived at the position where the previous one had dissipated and stopped.
One more step, and it would enter the detection range of the command-level Fear Demon Statue, provoking a thunderous attack.
So, it could only stop here temporarily and prepare for the next step of the plan.
As the clone stopped, the Ghost guarding the entrance of the cave quickly opened its eyes.
“Cack! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (I have arrived!)
“Good,” Lin Su nodded and whispered, “Don’t act rashly later, wait until all the Fear Demon Statues are alard, then approach as quickly as possible.”
“Cack!” (Understood!)
Seeing Ghost nod in understanding, Lin Su then turned his gaze to Ye Han.
Ye Han nodded firmly, commanding his Split Rock Lizard through Telepathy.
The robust forelimb of the Split Rock Lizard gently pressed against the ground, with rings of earthy yellow energy ripples rippling out, slowly heading toward the depths of the subterranean.
Soon, everyone felt a slight shaking under their feet, as if there was an earthquake.
What everyone felt was rely the aftereffect of the Earthquake Wave.
The actual center of the Earthquake Wave’s detection was at the core location of the cave provided by Ghost.
Ghost closed its eyes again, focusing all its Spirit on its clone.
At this mont, inside the cave, countless dormant or resting Fear Demon Statues suddenly beca agitated.
Within the cave, everything began to shake violently as if the shaking would never stop, continuing wave after wave incessantly.
The cave was filled with the particular screams of the Fear Demon Statues.
As psychic beasts, they settled in caves because of their racial traits.
Therefore, what they feared the most was a powerful Earth Beast striking from afar, destroying the entire cave.
At this mont, the origins of the unidentified Earthquake Wave had truly given them a fright.
Feeling the brief confusion of the Fear Demon Statue tribe, the Shadow Clone of Ghost Ghost instantly moved.
At this mont, it moved with its fastest speed, taking advantage of the fact that the commander-tier Fear Demon Statue had not yet co to its senses, and approached rapidly!
By the ti the Fear Demon Statue noticed sothing was wrong and repeated the trick by blooming a crimson eye between its tentacles, Ghost Ghost was already at a very close distance to it.
And from this position, it was able to clearly see the entire situation at the core of the cave.
The next instant, the clone dissipated once again under the Fear Gaze.
Outside the cave, Ghost Ghost quickly opened its eyes and conveyed the information it had scouted to Lin Su.
“Huff…” Lin Su exhaled a breath of turbid air, glanced at the anxious people looking over, and said with a sowhat quirky expression, “One piece of good news, one piece of bad news.”
He didn’t beat around the bush, and imdiately said, “The good news is, there are no monarch-tier Fear Demon Statues in this nest.”
The expressions of the people relaxed at once.
What they feared the most was the presence of monarch-tier entities in this nest.
After all, the monarch-tier Fear Demon Statues are much more dangerous compared to the commander-tier.
“The bad news is…” Lin Su paused before speaking, “There are eight commander-tier Fear Demon Statues in this nest.”
That was several more than the five commander-tier Fear Demon Statues they had estimated beforehand.
Of course, combining the two pieces of news, overall, it was still more advantageous for Xing Yun’s squad.
“Ghost Ghost’s Shadow Clones have scouted twice and have already figured out most of the inside terrain,” Lin Su frowned slightly, “However, we haven’t detected the exact number of elite-tier and juvenile-tier yet, so we can’t consider the mission complete.”
“The area Ghost Ghost’s clone went to is only a part of the whole area, to scout the other juvenile-tier and elite-tier, we need to cross the central area where the eight commander-tier exist, to the other side of the core area…” Lin Su spread his hands, leaving the sentence unfinished.
“The Earthquake Wave just now has completely alerted all the Fear Demon Statues; if it were other species, they would have already left the cave to chase and kill us by now.” Ye Han pushed up his glasses, adding, “So the next entry of Ghost Ghost’s clone will be even more difficult.”
Lin Su nodded.
Looking at it this way, the task seed very difficult to complete.
Stroking his chin in thought for a mont, Lin Su’s gaze suddenly turned to the silent Xing Yun beside him.
He coughed lightly, sowhat embarrassed, “Instructor, can you handle eight commander-tier Fear Demon Statues?”
“You sure think highly of ,” Xing Yun replied with an annoyed roll of the eyes, then nodded slightly, “That shouldn’t be a problem, but if I fight the eight of them with all my might, I won’t have any strength left to protect you guys.”
In his hands was the monarch-tier Black Cloud Stick; crushing commander-tier with monarch-tier, one against eight wasn’t difficult, but to spare the effort to protect team mbers would be tough.
Lin Su nodded understandingly, a faint glimr in his eyes.
To secretly scout the number of Fear Demon Statues in this nest was extrely difficult.
After all, none of the team mbers’ pets had any skills suitable for this situation.
But… if they wanted to exterminate the enemy, then they had plenty of skills available.
Within the small-scale lair of the Fear Demon Statues, there were at least a hundred elite-tier Fear Demon Statues, far outnumbering the team mbers’ pets.
But with wide-range abilities like Snow Explosion and Frost Silence Storm, and a Split Rock Lizard that could easily cause trouble for the Fear Demon Statues in the cave, it wasn’t impossible.
A bold idea flashed through his mind, and he looked at his team mbers with a slight smile.
“How about… we stop scouting and just exterminate them instead?”
Xing Yun: “???”
The team mbers: “???”
