The only road is at the entrance of the mine, so narrow that it is only about one person's width and height.
This is very much in line with the system's style; any escape point location is perfect for an ambush, which is entirely intentional.
"Hide! Wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump!"
Jia Zhengyi gave the order, and Elrere chanted a spell in a low voice, casting a large-scale concealment spell, while the pure-blood elves hid in the dark corners.
Some spells are hidden in the soil and walls, some are inserted into tunnels, and some are cast by floating and fixing themselves in the top area.
No matter the angle or position, there were pure-blooded elves hiding everywhere. Wang Dalu was thrilled and couldn't contain his excitement: "Uncle, what about me? Where am I hiding?"
He excitedly asked Jia Zhengyi, but Jia Zhengyi didn't have time to pay attention to him. He looked at Lyanna beside him with gentle eyes, polite but with a hint of flattery: "Sister Lyanna, won't you hide it for a bit?"
Lyanna stood there motionless, seemingly oblivious to Jia Zhengyi's earlier command.
Of course, this wasn't Lyanna deliberately disrespecting Ja's justice; she was simply disobeying orders.
Aside from Su Lin, she would refuse to obey at any time, quite casually.
"You want to kill someone, don't you?"
Lyanna glanced at Jia Zhengyi and said calmly, "Both you and I can see enemies at a distance."
"Don't wait for them to come over, kill them as soon as they get close."
Lyanna untied her bow and arrows, and spoke casually, yet her words were remarkably reasonable.
After thinking about it, Jia Zhengyi realized that this was indeed the case.
Lyanna standing here is like a mobile turret, complete with a lock-on function, like a cheat code with "auto-aim," "headshot," and "ultimate kill."
There's no need to wait for the other survivors to get close to the escape point; they can be instantly killed from beyond visual range.
Jia Zhengyi opened his mouth again. He originally wanted to ask: If you are so confident that you can kill all the survivors in an instant, won't you alert them and spread the word?
But he couldn't bring himself to ask the question. Even Jia Zhengyi himself felt that Lyanna was truly capable of doing it.
Moreover, if even she can't do it, then it would be difficult even for the boss to do it himself, let alone others.
In the end, Jia Zhengyi had no choice but to nod and agree: "Sister, please do as you please."
After saying that, he found a good spot to squat down, too lazy to hide anymore. He activated his superpowers at full power, constantly scanning his surroundings to gather information.
"Searching for a city is not as good as waiting for a person."
Wang Dalu was still muttering to himself when Jia Zhengyi raised an eyebrow: "Wow, you really have a whole repertoire of those little words."
"That can't compare to my uncle. My uncle is the real master."
"Hey, you little rascal."
The two huddled together, whispering to each other to pass the time, since the wait was going to be long.
Su Lin was able to endure loneliness. He simply glanced around, chose a cool spot, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes to practice his internal energy.
The ensuing battles will likely require little intervention from him, giving him ample time to immerse himself in his own world.
"Brother, can you cultivate here?"
Xiao Linlin noticed Su Lin's behavior and asked with concern. If he could cultivate, the established plan would need to be adjusted, and she would prioritize Su Lin's condition.
"cannot."
Su Lin closed his eyes and shook his head: "It's just a mental simulation, using the existing spiritual energy to circulate through the body, without going through the foundation building stage, but you need to become familiar with the process."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Linlin blinked in a daze.
She didn't quite understand the cultivation methods of the new system, but in theory, cultivating immortality is very difficult.
But after hearing what my brother said, it seems... like it's not too difficult?
This feels just like when Su Lin learned martial arts skills on his own. How come he can learn things that involve combat as easily and simply as if he were eating tofu?
Being skilled in martial arts is one thing, but being able to preview the Foundation Establishment stage in immortal cultivation?
Indeed, my brother is a genius!
Xiao Linlin didn't understand the new system, but she would fully support it. She quietly moved to Su Lin's side and sat obediently close to him.
Lyanna glanced over, took a few steps, and used her body to shield Sulin.
Although her bow was lowered, it was slightly drawn back, indicating a state of alert, with magical arrows faintly visible.
Only Jia Zhengyi muttered to himself, "Having a genius as a boss really makes me look stupid."
About seven or eight hours later, just as Wang Dalu was getting so bored that he kept nodding off, Jia Zhengyi suddenly shouted and pointed: "They're here! There are three people, a thousand meters to the east, just entering the reconnaissance range."
"Huh? Where are they? Where are they?!"
Wang Dalu was startled and looked up sharply, only to see a thin, needle-like streak of light flash past his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
He could only make out a few long, thin things flying by.
But soon, Lyanna spoke up: "Send a few people to clean up the bodies."
In the darkness, several pure-blooded elves moved swiftly, silently approaching the direction Jia Zhengyi had pointed out.
Only then did Wang Dalu finally see clearly that the woman called Sister Lai slowly lowered her bow and arrow, maintaining the same posture as before.
"Uncle, she... seemed to have shot an arrow just now?"
"Well, what else?"
"The full-strength squad that came to escape, are they all dead?"
"uh-huh."
Jia Zhengyi's nonchalant response made Wang Dalu take a deep breath.
Damn, that's outrageous!
How can you be so sure they've all been killed before you've even seen them?
Surprisingly, no one in the group seemed to find it strange, as if they had expected it. Could this be the terrifying power of an SS-level follower?
