Rat tide?

Lin Qiye looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and instantly thought of the swarm of rats he saw in the underground cave in Cangnan City.

An Qingyu analyzed the ability of the "fish species" from the Nanda snake demon, and he knew this, but he did not expect that in just one year, An Qingyu could expand the rat tide to such a huge scale.

Under An Qingyu's guidance, dense swarms of gray rats rushed into the surrounding streets and buildings, like a gradually spreading ground net, slowly blending into the fog.

"It would be much easier with the Rat Tide... but it's not enough."

The corners of Lin Qiye's mouth rose slightly, he looked up at the top of the fog, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.

Under the night sky, bats and owls flew up from the edge of the city, passed through the purple mist, and surrounded the sky above Lin Qiye's head like a black cloud.

Lin Qiye stared at the black cloud for a moment, waved his hand gently, and the bats and owls flying in the air seemed to have received an order. They quickly scattered and rushed in different directions.

After Lin Qiye was promoted to the "Chuan" realm, the ability of [Starry Night Dancer] to communicate with nocturnal creatures was greatly enhanced. Not only could he forcibly read the mental images of worker ants as before, but he could also actively summon the surrounding nocturnal creatures to come to his side.

Baili Pangpang stared at this scene in a daze and couldn't help but laugh:

"There are rats and birds, is this a dragnet?"

Lin Qiye smiled slightly, "Fortunately, this piece of mental pollution is only effective on the human body. With this net in place, it is not difficult to find [Bell Kland]."

An Qingyu nodded and continued, "However, we still need to be on guard against its attacks. This mental pollution fog was created by it. It must have noticed when we entered it. It was the two of us who destroyed its promotion ceremony a year ago. This time it has recovered its full strength and will probably come to trouble us."

"It would be perfect if it comes. We can just wipe it out and call it a day." Baili Pangpang said confidently.

"It's not that simple." An Qingyu shook his head. "Don't forget, more than ten hours ago, the 017 team stationed here had already entered the fog, and now everyone except the captain should have fallen.

So what we have to deal with is not only a mysterious outsider from the sea, but also a whole squad of Gusu City Night Watchmen who are being manipulated."

Hearing this, Cao Yuan's face suddenly became solemn.

"That being said, it is indeed a bit tricky..."

"If we are held back by this team, we will be in a very passive situation." An Qingyu said seriously, "Although we should not lose in a 5-on-5 situation, if we are held back, it is very likely that they will mobilize a large number of innocent people to rush over and use human wave tactics to tie us down in place."

"It knows we won't attack ordinary people? So smart?!" Baili Pangpang said with a bitter face, "It seems like a very simple matter, how come it becomes so complicated after you talk about it..."

"That is a foreign mystery that can plan a disaster that endangers the lives of tens of thousands of people even when it is on the verge of death. It should not be underestimated." Lin Qiye said.

"This is a psychological game in itself." An Qingyu said calmly, "From the moment we entered this fog, the game between me and it, which had been suspended for a year, has begun."

"So, you already have a solution?" Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, but the risk is relatively high." An Qingyu pushed his glasses, "The best way right now is to... act in groups.

Nanaya and I were the culprits who destroyed its promotion ceremony a year ago. As long as the two of us leave the team, we can distract its attention to a great extent and attract its hatred.

I will leave a rat with the three of you. When my rat tide finds the location of [Bell Crand], I will let it lead you there to carry out the clearing mission. "

"Action in groups? But if that happens, the two of you will go and attract firepower. Can the three of us kill that mysterious creature in the sea realm?" Cao Yuan frowned.

An Qingyu smiled slightly, "This question is simple, Qiye, you just need to leave them a knife."

When Lin Qiye heard this, he was stunned at first, then a light appeared in his eyes. He completely understood An Qingyu's meaning and the corners of his mouth rose.

"You mean, after they find Bell Crand, I will summon him back and join their battle?" Lin Qiye nodded. "From dividing the troops, it has become a feint to the east and attack in the west... This method is very good."

Baili Pangpang finally understood the whole plan. He looked at An Qingyu strangely, with envy in his eyes. "You can even think of this method? What's wrong with your brain?"

"What about you?" Cao Yuan looked at An Qingyu, "If you are in danger and Qiye summons you, what will you do alone?"

An Qingyu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I have a backup plan."

Seeing An Qingyu so confident, Lin Qiye nodded, "In that case, let's follow Qingyu's plan and split the troops into two groups, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"

"Wait!" Baili Pangpang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his hand.

Everyone looked at him.

"I have a question." Baili Pangpang said seriously, "You just said that we might have a head-on fight with Team 017. If we beat them up...what if they remember our faces after they get out?"

Lin Qiye: ...

"How on earth did you come up with such an incredible idea?" Cao Yuan couldn't help but complain.

Lin Qiye thought about it, and his eyes swept across the surrounding streets. When he saw a certain store, his eyes lit up slightly, "This is easy to solve, as long as we cover our faces."

He walked straight to the children's toy store across the street.

At this moment, the once bustling streets were already deserted. There was no one in the shops on both sides, and no one knew where they had gone.

Lin Qiye walked into the toy store, took down a few plastic masks from the shelf at the door, and distributed them to everyone one by one.

He first gave Baili Pangpang a Zhu Bajie mask, then gave Cao Yuan a Sha Monk mask, and gave An Qingyu a Tang Monk mask. He kept a Sun Wukong mask for himself, and finally handed the black-faced Li Kui mask with stubble to Jia...

Galan: (`皿′)!

Lin Qiye's hand paused slightly, and he silently put the Li Kui mask back on the shelf.

After pondering for a moment, he took off a Red Boy mask, handed it to Galan, then lowered his head and put on his own mask.

His eyes swept over the companions who had transformed into the Journey to the West, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, perfect."
