“Passive avoidance will only make us like frightened birds, and sooner or later they will find our weaknesses.”

"We must take the initiative."

Mo Chen spoke first, his voice low and calm.

“You’re right! But how can we take the initiative? They’re lurking in the shadows, and they all seem very capable.”

Zi Xi nodded, looking into the distance as she walked.

"If they are in the shadows, so can we."

"They want to hunt us, so why can't we hunt them back?"

Mo Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that conveyed a sense of confidence in controlling the entire situation.

"Hunting? You want me to kill people?"

Zi Xi opened her eyes slightly wider.

"It's me, not you."

"But your secret base is our greatest advantage, and also a variable they could never have predicted."

Mo Chen's gaze fell on Zi Xi. He quickly drew a simple map on the ground with a twig and began to make arrangements.

"First, we need a stage, and then we need bait."

“I remember there is an area in the northeast called the Echo Stone Forest. It is full of magnetic rocks that can interfere with signals. The terrain is complex and easy to hide and ambush, and it is also easy to cause accidents.”

“I would deliberately move around in that area and leave some traces to make them believe that the target was lingering there.”

"They will definitely send someone to confirm and take action."

Mo Chen looked at Zi Xi.

"Last and most importantly."

"We need a trap."

"This depends on you. Do you have anything special in your space?"

"For example, plants with extremely strong scents that can attract specific star beasts? Or seemingly harmless gadgets that, when combined, can produce amazing effects?"

Mo Chen's eyes shone brightly.

As Zi Xi listened to Mo Chen's plan, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“I’ve tried a type of red berry before. It doesn’t taste very good, but it has a very strong smell. Last time I took some out, it attracted several small animals that looked like rabbits.”

"The workshop also has processed animal sinews, which are very tough and almost transparent."

"There are also some mushrooms that I don't recognize, but they are very brightly colored and will spray out paralyzing spores if you touch them."

"Oh, and there's also super fragrant honey. There's a kind of poisonous bee that's about the size of a fist nearby that really loves it..."

Zi Xi nodded vigorously, her brain racing as she took stock of the supplies in the space.

She recounted the various local specialties and their characteristics in the space with great familiarity, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.

Sure enough, people are most excited when they're doing bad things.

As Mo Chen listened, the surprise and admiration in his eyes grew stronger.

He had only hoped that Zi Xi could provide some basic supplies, but he never expected that everything she brought out would be a weapon specially made for this counter-assassination.

He was also surprised; the magic of this space once again exceeded his imagination.

"Very good, these are the things."

"Let's use these things to prepare a big gift for them!"

Mo Chen clapped his hands, his thoughts becoming increasingly clear.

With the plan set, the two immediately took action.

The strange behavior of the viewers in the live stream was actually part of their careful planning.

It took them a day to reach the Echo Stone Forest, a place of strangely shaped rocks.

The massive stone pillar was covered with honeycomb-like holes, and when the wind blew through it, it made a strange whistling sound, interfering with communication and detection signals.

With his superb reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills, Mo Chen meticulously arranged the props provided by Zi Xi on the outskirts of the stone forest and along several possible paths.
