"The diameter of this simulation range is about three kilometers."

"The simulation scene runs east-west, with the east high and the west low."

"There is a small lake 600 meters away from the seven o'clock direction. Footprints of unknown beasts were found on the edge of the lake. This simulation is suspected of having a simulated demon. The strength of the demon is not yet known."

The five people dispersed and gathered quietly, sharing the information they discovered with each other. They seemed to be professionals.

Of course, if the five people hadn't separated and gathered together to become six people, it might have looked more professional...

Zhou Yishu looked around and whispered: "Obvious traces of human activity were found three hundred meters away from the four o'clock direction. Our enemy in this round is probably over there.

Now that we have almost all the information about this simulated battle, I think our next focus should be on this direction, slowly advancing in the 212 formation, and conducting a fan search in this direction."

Ji Ruo, who had smeared his body with green plant juice, squatted in the grass beside a small bush, nodded, and said, "I think it's okay."

Zhou Yishu said: "Then it's decided. Please be careful. Don't act rashly after discovering the enemy. Find a way to contact other people first. Safety first!"

The other four people nodded slightly.

Ji Ruo said sternly: "We don't rule out the possibility that the other party may climb a tree to avoid a sneak attack. Please pay more attention when searching."

"That makes sense!"

"It is true that the opponent no longer has the advantage in terms of numbers, but since he still dares to choose to start a simulated battle, he must have something special and cannot be careless."

So this five-person team, plus a "non-staff member", began to spread out in a manner that originally planned to be "212" but was actually "222", slowly advancing in the direction Zhou Yishu said, and slowly searching.

There are six people in a five-person team, which is very reasonable.

...

Turn the time back a moment ago.

After briefly analyzing the map, Ji Ruo roughly estimated the time it would take for them to "find" his place based on the initial position of the 'enemy', and then Ji Ruo began to prepare.

In terms of numbers, Ji Ruo couldn't compare to the number of enemies even if he included Rosie.

So trying hard will definitely not work...at least not necessarily.

So to be on the safe side, Ji Ruo disguised himself and Rosie.

From the time he acquired the [Disguise] ability until now, Ji Ruo has also been brushing up on his proficiency in this skill.

Currently, the camouflage effect bonus of this ability is close to 80%. Although there is still a risk of exposure, as long as the plan is not too excessive, it will generally not be discovered.

Well, it means within the same level.

What's more, Ji Ruo still has the [feeling of being substituted].

Starting from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the "feeling of being substituted" bonus of this ability has increased continuously. Especially on the first day of college, those cute classmates shouted one after another as seniors, and the proficiency of this ability has skyrocketed.

Big cut!

The reason Ji Ruo was able to speak without being discovered just now was because this ability was taking effect.

As long as the identity is reasonable to a certain extent, you can obtain a certain degree of identity bonus and make surrounding targets feel a certain sense of being included.

The two abilities take effect at the same time. [Disguise] allows Ji Ruo, who is holding a small bush and covered in plant juice, to disguise himself as an ordinary bush in the eyes of others.

And [the sense of being substituted]...Ji Ruo estimates that this ability gives him a 'voice-over'...

Just now, Ji Ruo got a lot of plant sap to disguise himself. After completing the disguise, he was just about to "throw his shoes to ask for directions" to find the enemy's position when he saw Zhou Yishu carefully crawling past his feet, so

Ji Ruo sneaked in...

The effect was pretty good, no one found him yet.

...

Ji Ruo followed Zhou Yishu and slowly moved towards the 'middle road'.

He didn't recognize the senior who said he wanted to teach him Tai Chi. He was wearing a homemade "geely suit" and his face was covered tightly. Of course Ji Ruo didn't recognize him.

Rosie huddled in Ji Ruo's arms, trembling all over. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare, for fear of affecting Ji Ruo's plan. It was very hard to hold back her laughter.

Ji Ruo also wanted to laugh, but he knew that now was not the time to laugh.

When hiding a cat, you cannot make a sound.

And now is not the time for ‘voice-over’ to appear.

It was better to have more people just now, but now... there is Zhou Yishu next to him. If he dares to speak out, he will be exposed immediately.

Although Ji Ruo is very confident in his own strength, he doesn't want to expose it so early - as long as he hides it well now, his proficiency in [disguise] and [sense of being substituted] will slowly increase all the time, and he can

I don't want this simulation battle to end so easily.

Half an hour later——

The six-person team of five gathered together, and Ji Ruo squatted in the grass nearby.

"Strange... We have also visited the place with obvious human activities that Old Zhou mentioned just now. The 'enemy' is indeed here, but -"

Huang Honglun frowned and said, "Have you found out where the 'enemy' is? We haven't found anything here."

Another team of two people shook their heads and said, "We didn't find anything here either."

They looked at Zhou Yishu again.

Zhou Yishu hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't find it either..."

He glanced back subconsciously and whispered: "Besides, I still have a strange feeling, as if someone has been staring at me..."

"Do you feel like someone is watching you?"

The other people were stunned for a moment, and then looked behind Zhou Yishu warily.

Found nothing.

Zhou Yishu said hesitantly: "Maybe it's just an illusion. After I had this feeling, I also conducted an investigation on this feeling, but found nothing.

No one is following me at all."

Ji Ruo grinned.

"What should we do now? Search elsewhere?" Ji Ruo asked.

"This is the only way..." A team member took a deep breath and said: "We clearly have the advantage in numbers, but why do we feel that the initiative is no longer in our hands?"

After discussing for a while, they began to explore in other directions.

Out of concern for the 'enemy', they did not split up to explore again this time - they were all worried about being attacked by the 'enemy' hiding in the dark after being alone.

Originally they didn't care much about this battle, but more than half an hour has passed since the start of this simulated battle. They don't even know whether the 'enemy' is a man or a woman. They speculate that this time the 'enemy' may be

He was a player who was extremely good at assassination, so he subconsciously paid attention to him.

Ji Ruo looked at the map and followed them to explore.

As the 'disadvantaged' party, Ji Ruo not only had a map, but also roughly marked some more dangerous areas with different colors on the map.

Although there is no danger shown on the map, it is most likely the territory of simulated demons. The darker the map area, the stronger the demons are.

Whenever several people are about to enter those areas, Ji Ruo will kindly remind them.

"Everyone, please be careful. This area is obviously much quieter than the previous area. There may be simulated demons... If we encounter one, a battle will inevitably occur, which will easily expose our location."

"It makes sense, please be careful."

...

About forty minutes passed—

"What on earth is this man doing!"

Huang Honglun couldn't help but scratch his hair.

"It's so easy to hide! It's been more than an hour, and I haven't even seen a single person!"

The five people who still found nothing finally couldn't help but feel agitated.

Ji Ruo suppressed his laughter and squatted aside with his arms around the bushes. His shoulders kept shaking and he echoed, "Yes, yes, you can hide so well."

Rosie was also feeling very uncomfortable holding it back. The mutated red scarf around her neck gradually became brighter in color, like a wisp of red flame, and the black magic pattern on it became darker and deeper.

Zhou Yishu was not in a very good mood at the moment. He frowned and said: "It seems that this is the opponent's strategy. He hides his traces, delays time, makes us irritated, and then looks for the right time to defeat us one by one...

.”

Ji Ruo was so stifled that his eyebrows jumped wildly: "Yes, yes!"

"It's a very simple strategy, but it is surprisingly effective...Old Zhou, you are right. Even if you are overwhelmed by numbers, you cannot underestimate the enemy..."

Originally, they thought that they and others had paid enough attention to this simulated battle, but they did not expect that their 'enemy' would be so stubborn. Except for some traces of activity left at the initial location, their entire being seemed to have evaporated.

It's been an hour and it's still not exposed!

"How can you really hide!" A team member whispered: "Why don't we just push forward? Anyway, there are many of us, and the simulated demons that appear in the simulated battle cannot be higher than the Qi Meridian Realm... I guess that guy is just hiding.

In the territory of a certain simulated demon, that’s why we haven’t found it..."

"I also agree with the horizontal recommendation. The area of ​​the simulated battlefield this time is not large. We have searched it carefully just now. Although the types and specific strength of the simulated demons have not yet been determined, the place is so big. With what we currently have,

Judging from the intelligence, there are at least four lord demons - judging from the size of the territory, we can still handle it alone..."

Several people were discussing new countermeasures, but Ji Ruo didn't interrupt this time.

‘Voice-over’ shouldn’t appear too frequently either.

The young man is not worried that he will be exposed, but is afraid that if he interrupts and helps analyze together, he will not be able to hold back his laughter...

Of course, Ji Ruo was not idle either. He separated the bushes he was holding in his arms, held them with both hands, and slowly walked in a circle around the five people who were discussing.

Every step happens to fall on a person's shadow.

Ever since——
To be continued...
