Chapter 242 I'll go there myself
Ever since Su Tang rejected Yan Jun, he evacuated the camp with his people, and the tribesmen who had surrendered to Su Tang arrived at the garrison one after another.
Listening to the spy's report, Su Tang's brows furrowed.
The intelligence of the wild beasts blessed by the rainy season has been enhanced, and it is much more difficult to deal with them than in normal seasons. Dawn City is a big city, and no matter how stupid the wild beasts are, they will not attack the city again after experiencing several setbacks.
What's more, Dawn City would regularly clear out the small groups of wild beasts in the surrounding area, and the group of wild beasts that could attack the city had to be led by at least a nine-star wild beast.
As for the Wild Beast King, he is too rare. Generally, the beast groups led by the Wild Beast King have a strong purpose. Cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the benefits of siege are too small, so their targets are mostly large tribal gatherings.
The wild beasts have no thoughts and completely obey the orders of their superiors. They do not know how to retreat and have no fear. They are no different from zombies, and are also the best weapons of war.
However, intelligent Homo sapiens are far from being perfect in this respect.
"We sent two teams to patrol, one team was composed of eight-star orcs, and the other team was led by two nine-star orcs. They were all elites in exploration, but no one survived."
The one who reported was the young man who had argued with Su Tang. He was from the Ant Tribe and his name was Saye. His combat ability was average, but he was definitely at the top level in reconnaissance. The bloodline ability of the tribe had a team bonus, so when acting as a group, if one person made any discovery, the others would receive the news quickly.
As an expert in this field, he sent out two elite teams, but neither of them had any survivors, which meant that the group of wild beasts they discovered was capable of absolutely crushing them.
With their ability to escape, if they encounter a nine-star wild beast, there will be no survivors if the distance is far enough.
Saye glanced at Su Tang's expression and continued, "We guess that there should be a wild beast king there, and it should be a wild beast king with strong perception."
The Wild Beast King is a one-on-many existence. If you want to deal with him, you must have five or six Beast Kings to hold him back. If you want to strangle him, you can only spend more manpower.
However, it is extremely difficult for the Wild Beast Kings to become stronger. Unlike orcs, they can improve their strength through advancement. Their levels are innate.
In other words, the abilities of the Wild Beast King are innate, and the probability of giving birth to a Wild Beast King is one in hundreds of thousands, a probability low enough to match their powerful strength.
If it is the King of Wild Beasts, what is the probability that he can drive the wolf and the tiger away?
Is there a risk of playing with fire and getting burned by doing this?
Su Tang was a little hesitant. If the Wild Beast King attacked the city, the city lord would definitely lead the team to fight.
This is definitely a good opportunity to steal the city lord's order, and most of the main combat forces in the city have left the city, making her actions more convenient.
"Do we need to send people to investigate other large herds of wild beasts, or should I personally lead people to investigate the herd led by the wild beast king?"
Wutuna, who was originally listless, took a nap. He had not moved for a long time. He was a bloodline specialized in defense, and bringing him along could help divert attention and resist more injuries to buy them time.
He raised his hand and said, "Can I come with you? Facing the Wild Beast King who is good at perception, your concealment is limited. Bringing me along can create more opportunities for you."
Su Tang had some understanding of attack and defense team games. If he had a meat shield but no damage, it would be useless even if he went there.
"No, you're too slow. Even if you can hold on, you won't be able to get away in the end."
Wutunan raised his eyebrows, looking a little unhappy. Did he look down on him?
"I will lead the team myself, Saye, you get ready."
"No!" The Scorpion leader who had initially made fun of Su Tang objected first. He seemed to be very easily angered, and even after swearing allegiance, there was not much respect in his tone.
"The fight hasn't even started yet. If something happens to you, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
Anyone who has played chess knows that it is not logical for the general to move first at the beginning of a battle.
Unless one is brave enough to stand alone against all odds and has absolute confidence in himself, no leader will be able to lead the charge into the front in a war.
"There are so many beast kings here, how can it be your turn? Do you think too little of the Wild Beast King? I admit that Erlan beside you is extremely powerful, but he can't protect you alone. Even if there are two more, they can't protect the Wild Beast King!"
Su Tang couldn't explain what she felt. The moment she heard the name of the Wild Beast King, her heart trembled inexplicably. The feeling was similar to what she felt in her ancestral home in Pasak.
It was as if there was some thread pulling her, making her unconsciously want to find out more information herself.
Even at such a distance, she had this thought. Was it her sixth sense, or was there something there?
I opened the system's exploration page, but the distance was too far, and there were no people from the filthy-blooded race moving around, so all I could see was darkness.
"Of course I understand the importance of this, and I won't gamble with my life. Since I dare to go, I can definitely come back."
She holds Erlan's powerful combat power in her hand, and with Nolan's control to confuse the opponent, it should not be difficult for her to escape unscathed. Moreover, her main purpose is to find out the probability of luring the wild beast out.
If she feels that something is impossible, she will give up at the first opportunity.
"Alright, I have already made my decision and will not change it. Saye, prepare as soon as possible. We will set out tomorrow during the day. We will not bring the nine-star orcs with us."
Having her as a drag is enough. The benefit of a nine-star orc on the battlefield is greater than losing him here.
If a fight really breaks out, there will be no time to worry about too much. In the battle between the Wild Beast King and the Beast King, Jiuxing will just be cannon fodder.
Even though everyone was dissatisfied with Su Tang's decision, they tacitly kept silent. Sometimes, one cannot learn to be smart without experiencing some setbacks.
Moreover, they also knew very well that even if Erlan and the others died, it would give Su Tang a chance to escape. Although they were very sad about the loss of several beast kings, it was not their fault anyway.
Su Tang also understood their mentality. Few of these people truly believed in her, but she didn't care about that at the moment. She just needed someone to charge into battle when the war broke out.
Erlan completely believed in Su Tang, but he was still a little worried about her decision.
After leaving, he leaned close to her and whispered, "Isn't this too risky? Find two more nine-star wild beast groups and you can get what you want."
"I know, but we don't have that much time now, do we? There is only one large group of wild beasts around here. You also know that wild beasts have absolute level suppression. Now that the wild beast king has appeared, I doubt that even if we expand the search range, we will not be able to find a nine-star wild beast."
"In such a vast area, we can't even find scattered wild beasts. This shows that the wild beast king is gathering a large force. Even if we attract a nine-star wild beast, it will eventually recruit us."
"Or maybe there are already several nine-star wild beasts in its team. The annihilation of the exploration team must be due to this reason."
It would not be a problem for a single nine-star wild beast to escape, but what if there were multiple nine-star wild beasts?
Erlan was silent for a while, his expression still showing worry.
"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to protect you. If we just want to gather information, it will be the same if we go. You don't need to go in person."
Su Tang patted the back of his hand soothingly and gave him a gentle smile that was very contagious.
"You underestimate me too much. Have you forgotten where my ability comes from?" She tapped his chest, and the vitality of the beating heart came from her fingertips. Erlan looked at her for a long time without saying a word.
"You should believe in yourself, just as I believe in you, and I also need to confirm something, I always feel that there is something there."
