"Next... let's move closer to this direction!" Guan Liyuan pointed at the map and said.
"Huh? Didn't you say that the final destination is this supply point?" Jiu Lama questioned.
"But it's hard for us to just go back now. This is where my teacher was before. If they have solved the problem and found out that I'm missing, they should look for me in this area. And there's a greater chance of meeting other professionals there."
Guan Liyuan decided to move closer to the hill where they camped yesterday...
Judging from the distance to the supply point, Guan Liyuan's current position is actually similar to that of the hill.
But the hill is a relatively safe place that the top student Wei Yingying has calculated, and it's also easier to meet people who come to find them. I believe Zhong Liqiu and Wei Yingying have already discovered something is wrong.
After Guan Liyuan made this wise decision, as if God had blessed him and his good luck, he only encountered a few lone Abyss servants along the way. They did not cause any trouble to the injured Guan Liyuan, and they did not even join the battle personally. They just gave Jiu Lama the skill effect of "Encouragement"...
"We're here. It's the mound in front. We can rest there later... Eh? Wait! That's..." Guan Liyuan suddenly saw a moving figure next to the mound!
"Huh? Is this also an Abyss creature? It looks a bit stupid..."
"No! Jiu Lama, that's the pack animal we use to carry the luggage!" Guan Liyuan stopped Jiu Lama's attack.
At the same time, he hurried over, patted the pack animal's head, and laughed in a good mood: "Haha, you are really stupid. You are still here. Let me see if our supplies are still there..."
When evacuating, Guan Liyuan pulled out the wooden wedge that tied the pack animal from the ground. He originally thought that the pack animal had either left or been killed by that strange thing!
Guan Liyuan had already prepared to starve,
but he didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise. Although there was smokeless charcoal, in order to avoid being discovered by the creatures of the abyss by following the smell, Guan Liyuan directly ate the cold and hard dried meat and dry food, and sat at the place where he camped yesterday to rest...
[Unfortunately, only the wreckage of the tent is left! ]
Guan Liyuan suddenly paused, and then suddenly glanced at the ground around him, thinking: [Only the wreckage of the tent is left? This level of damage, could it be... Then why...]
"Jiulama! Help me look around, are there any traces of battle or other strange signs." Guan Liyuan said hurriedly.
Jiulama looked at Guan Liyuan with contempt: "Boy, you are not vigilant enough! This lord discovered it at the beginning... You should look from a distance."
Guan Liyuan retreated a distance as Jiulama said, and then he was surprised to find a "beast trail"!
It was similar to the "path" left by wild animals in the mountains and forests, but if you look closely, you will find that the traces are very new...
When Guan Liyuan approached before, he saw the pack beast and did not pay attention to other things. At this time, he obviously found that the surrounding weeds and rocks were obviously more messy on a "path" several meters wide, and some obstacles were also swept away, as if some creatures had passed here in groups not long ago!
"Is it those bugs?" Guan Liyuan had a vague guess. It
was confirmed again that this "beast path" was indeed from the direction where Teacher Han discovered the abnormality at the beginning, and it extended all the way to the direction when they evacuated!
In other words, this path is likely to be left by those bugs when they chased Guan Liyuan and others...
Guan Liyuan's eyes lit up at this time. If this is true, this place was "traveled" by the monster half a day ago. Now, as long as you walk along this "beast path", the probability of encountering abyss creatures will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the abyss lord seemed to have no consciousness and only knew how to destroy, so ordinary abyss servants and abyss elite soldiers should have been driven away!
With this in mind, Guan Liyuan wanted to ask Jiu Lama to continue on the road and take the pack animal with him.
Previously, because he had to rush on the road at full speed, and the pack animal was too slow, he had to give up. Now Guan Liyuan is alone. Even if he returns along the "beast trail" left by the Abyss Lord, he dare not rush on the road at full speed. In fact, his speed is not faster than the pack animal.
"You are really lucky. You are stupid enough to stay here and nothing... huh?"
However, just when he took the pack animal, Guan Liyuan suddenly thought of something!
Why was the pack animal not attacked?
Originally, when he saw the pack animal, Guan Liyuan thought that those bugs probably didn't pass by here, and no other abyss creatures passed by, so this stupid thing stayed where it was and still saved its life...
But now after re-confirming the situation at the scene, Guan Liyuan suddenly found that this is where the bugs passed by!
The pack animal is also in the beast trail! Even the tent next to it is only left with wreckage...
Then why is it okay?
The priority of pack animals for attacks by abyss creatures is just lower than that of humans. In fact, if a pack animal encounters a ghoul alone, it will be torn to pieces and eaten, not to mention a ghoul of the level of the Abyss Lord?
Could it be that the pack animal left at that time and came back on its own later?
Looking at the silly and cute eyes of the pack animal, Guan Liyuan didn't think it had the intelligence to find its way...
Then... the pack animal was "passed by" by the weird Abyss Lord, but was not attacked at all?
Guan Liyuan suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple!
It was very abnormal that a lord-level abyss creature appeared in the suburbs.
What Guan Liyuan was thinking now was that if this was a conspiracy of some existence in the abyss, then perhaps the "pack animal" would be the key to breaking the situation, or perhaps there was something special about this pack animal.
Although it was only a possibility, Guan Liyuan felt that there was a good reason to take it back!
Most of the servants and elite soldiers of the Abyss are unconscious, but the commanders have begun to have the ability to think. Some types of commanders have the ability to think no less than humans, and among the lords and kings, "fools" are even rarer...
Especially some Abyss kings who are good at conspiracy and calculation. As the leaders of the attack on the human world, their existence is what the alliance fears the most.
Guan Liyuan did guess right. At this time, the councilors in Duran City received the urgent report sent back by Luo Ying before he went to find Han Mengli, and held an emergency meeting in the middle of the night!
"An unconscious Abyss Lord? Could it be... really the work of 'it'?"
"It is very likely! But 'it' will definitely not be as simple as just sending an Abyss Lord to carry out a suicide attack."
"Yes, this is obviously a test... or an experiment?"
"We must strengthen patrols! Although he is a new demon king, we have the lesson of Eagle City... Damn it! Why is he targeting Duran City? Compared to Eagle City, we are just a small city that can't be any smaller, right?"
"Perhaps the last plan to destroy Eagle City did not succeed, so this time..."
Including Councilman Ba, the five councilors of Duran City all spoke in a serious tone, and decided to go to the eastern suburbs to take a look.
A few days ago, when Councilman Ba went to the vocational college, he was worried because he received the news that "it" seemed to have targeted Duran City, and he had many meetings...
