Chapter 146 Escape
Ke Yun opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the Chonghou Centurion who was only three steps away from her.
Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity, the other party seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction of the cave entrance.
In fact, just as Ke Yun guessed.
Chonghou suddenly stopped because he sensed that a large amount of human blood energy was rapidly approaching this place.
Even though there was still some distance between them, the undisguised bloodlust was so rampant that it seemed as if they were afraid he wouldn't notice.
"Reinforcements?" Chonghou wondered to himself.
By observing the blood energy, Chonghou could tell that the overall quality of this reinforcement was very high.
If that were all, then so be it.
But he could clearly sense that there was a steel-bone realm level among them.
This is very troublesome.
They've only been attacking this cave for a short time, yet reinforcements have arrived so quickly.
If a centurion-level expert from the human race were to join the battle, along with the already formidable elite humans within the cave, even if he were to win, he would likely suffer greatly.
Moreover, given the quality of the reinforcements, Chonghou even suspected that a complete human warrior division was on its way.
Caution, to some extent, also means suspicion.
Chonghou cursed inwardly, his original intention to wipe out all the humans in the cave was instantly suppressed by caution.
A ruthless glint flashed in his scarlet beastly eyes as he swiftly made a decision.
Since we cannot expand our gains, we must preserve our manpower.
He suddenly let out a roar, a sound that was no longer merely intimidating, but carried a special rhythm that pierced through the noisy battlefield.
"retreat!"
The command, transmitted clearly through the vibrations of blood energy, reached the ears of every Roaring Clan warrior.
The Roaring Clan warriors, who had been frantically charging towards the cave entrance, paused in unison and then retreated rapidly like a tide.
The Roaring Clan warriors who were engaged in combat with the players showed no interest in fighting and abandoned their opponents, turning around and running wildly into the depths of the bamboo forest.
"Holy crap? They ran away already?"
Old Kuai, who was preparing for a desperate fight, froze, his bone knife still in a vertical slashing position.
The centurion, who had fought him many times, didn't utter a single harsh word and immediately ordered his men to retreat.
As for the centurion Chonghou inside the cave, he took the lead after giving the order.
If players blocked their way during the retreat, they were simply blasted away without wasting time finishing them off.
"Don't let them get away! There might be some kind of conspiracy!"
Peng Zhi was leaning against the cave wall, panting heavily. Seeing this scene, he stomped his feet in frustration.
The ghost emerged from behind Peng Zhi.
He was too low-level and knew he wouldn't be of much use, so he hid deep in the cave as soon as the battle started.
"It really helped. You can check the world chat."
The dense forest is less than two kilometers from the cave.
The campus spring scenery was like a giant bone knife slung over Yunhou's shoulder, his footsteps kicking up fallen leaves.
Combined with the armor he'd stripped from the Howling Tribe centurion, he was now like a steamroller, forcefully...
Born in a dense forest, it stumbled and carved a straight line.
Behind him, dozens of players followed closely, their formation slightly disordered, but their speed was by no means slow.
To be honest, they arrived to provide support much faster than usual after receiving the message.
But this is mainly because the spring scenery on campus is too impatient.
Having just reached a completely new level, simply staying on the leaderboard wasn't enough; he couldn't wait to show off his prowess to all the players.
For Campus Spring, the news on the world channel was like a godsend.
He hoped there would be more monsters attacking, so that the fighting would be more exciting.
The thorns and vines that grew along the way were all broken and knocked down.
"Dog Bro, are you sure you can handle this? Otherwise, I'll go over first." Campus Spring Colors turned around and shouted, his voice filled with bloodlust, making the leaves rustle.
He pushed off with his feet, leaping across a three-meter-wide ravine like a cannonball. His bone knife cleaved through the giant tree blocking his path, and amidst the flying wood chips, the players behind him immediately followed.
Given the current physical condition of these veterans, there's no need to worry about them being scratched by flying wood chips.
Dog Bro's face darkened. After playing games for so many years, he never thought he would become a burden.
He silently made up his mind that once this matter was over, he must make full use of his amazing talent to raise the wages of the little black slaves by another 10%.
The team sliced through the dense forest like a sharp blade, splattering juices from the rotting leaves as they were trampled.
When the outline of the cave finally came into view, the players who came to help smelled a strong stench of blood—the blood of monsters.
As you can see, the view from the cave entrance is quite astonishing.
Hundreds of corpses of the Howling Clan warriors were laid out along the tunnel all the way to the cave entrance.
The corpses at the entrance of the cave were piled up in more than one layer.
It's easy to imagine that this battle, though short in duration, was extremely intense.
Peng Zhi, Lao Kuai, and others were sitting on some of the remains of the Hou Clan, panting heavily.
Old Kuai noticed Dog Brother and his group arriving and waved to them.
"Am I still too late?"
The campus spring scenery knelt on the ground in deep sorrow, but she just couldn't hold back her tears.
Dog Brother was used to this guy's daily erratic behavior, so he naturally ignored the spring scenery on campus and went up to Peng Zhi to talk about what had happened.
Listening to Peng Zhi's description, Brother Gou casually repeated a certain detail.
"So, you're saying these monsters knew we were coming beforehand, which is why they chose to retreat?"
These words clearly reminded Peng Zhi.
He seemed to be deep in thought, and then raised a crucial question that had been overlooked by players.
Why do the monsters in this game always seem to spot us before we do?
It would have been better if they hadn't noticed this, but now that it's been brought up, players quickly realize something is wrong.
Not only these organized monster armies, but even wild animals with blood and energy can detect the player's presence from a great distance.
This has resulted in no player ever successfully launching a sneak attack since the game's launch.
No matter how careful you are, a sneak attack will eventually turn into a head-on battle.
If this is part of the game's mechanics, then why are monsters allowed to ambush you?
"Let's talk later. Let's absorb these experiences first, or it will be a waste."
Ke Yun probably felt that it was somewhat selfish of him to absorb these Roar Clan remains by himself, so after sitting down cross-legged, he said the following words.
Seeing this, Campus Spring Colors immediately looked at Dog Brother: "Dog Brother, you know, Peng Zhi is also my brother. He's incredibly strong. I want to temporarily transfer my talent to—"
Halfway through the conversation, the topic of springtime on campus suddenly came to a halt.
He then turned to Peng Zhi and asked, "By the way, what's the name of your organization again?"
