The unknown creatures spied on secretly and some of the words they said made Gu Chen realize that this mission was not as simple as it seemed.
He is determined to figure everything out, but it will be difficult to do so as long as he continues to follow the team.
The reason is simple, he doesn't know what role Wuwang Pavilion plays in it.
From the beginning when he just met the master of Wuwang Pavilion to taking on the dream-level mission, he has actually been very passive.
The information asymmetry made him realize that he could not continue like this, so he left the team in a reasonable manner through the conflict with the craftsman, and actively sought to break the situation!
With no one around, Gu Chen summoned the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex from the space inside his body and explained his discovery.
"Master suspects that this mission was set up by Wuwang Pavilion and has an ulterior motive?" The Infinite Tyrannosaurus frowned after hearing about the existence of those creatures in the dark.
"It's not easy to make judgments at the moment, so I need your help. You are responsible for following Taohua Jushi and the others all the way, and pay attention to see if there is anyone snooping in the dark." Gu Chen said thoughtfully.
"Master, where are you going?" asked the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"I'll stay where I am. If I leave the team and someone is still following me, and there is no one on your side to follow me, it means that I am the target of the secret group of creatures."
"On the contrary, if there is no one following me here, and there is still one on your side, it means that the other party's target is actually Wuwang Pavilion, and then it is unlikely that Wuwang Pavilion will set up a trap."
After Gu Chen explained, Wuji Tyrannosaurus quickly understood.
The reason why the troops were divided into two groups was to test the origin of the man in the dark.
"Then what if people on both sides continue to follow? Master, didn't you just say that there is more than one person following? There are so many people on the other side, it is entirely possible to do this." The Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex asked.
Gu Chen naturally thought of this. If this was the case, it would still be impossible to deduce the position of Wuwang Pavilion, and his efforts would be in vain, so he had to make second-hand preparations.
"If someone is still following me, I will take action to capture them and inquire about the situation thoroughly," he replied.
"Wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
"It's hard to make a perfect plan. If you have to alert someone, you have no choice but to take action. It's better than not knowing the truth."
"I understand, I will take care of things."
Understanding Gu Chen's thoughts, the Infinite Tyrannosaurus rex flew across the water and quickly chased after Taohua layman and his party.
Although it is not small in size, it is actually extremely agile. Even in this ancient swamp, it is not slow. There is no need to worry about being distanced by the people in front.
The reason why Gu Chen let the Infinite Tyrannosaurus follow Taohua layman and the others instead of sending out the Sky-Eating Demon Butterfly was because it was the only one strong enough to catch up with their speed, and it could also sense the existence of those creatures in the dark.
Although the Sky-Swallowing Demon Butterflies are very suitable for reconnaissance, their strength in the Taoist world is currently too weak. As the top bloodline of the dinosaur clan, the Infinity Tyrannosaurus Rex has unfathomable strength and talent.
Gu Chen stayed where he was and found a tree crown to sit cross-legged, seemingly entering a state of cultivation.
However, in fact, his mind had already spread out, paying attention to the goings-on around him.
The fingertips of his left hand shook slightly, and the invisible secret energy rope extended around him with his thoughts, quietly drawing a large circle with a radius of ten feet.
As long as the mysterious creature that spied on him appears again and enters this circle, the secret energy rope will shrink and tighten at the fastest speed, entangling the opponent at once, and the opponent will be unable to move.
Gu Chen is not worried that the other party will notice his trap. Before the secret energy rope moves, it is almost perfectly invisible. If it moves, it means that the other party is already close enough, and it is a sure thing to capture it.
It was hot and humid in the swamp, and there was no cool breeze for a long time. Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.
Suddenly, that feeling of being spied on appeared again!
"Am I the target?"
Gu Chen sneered in his heart, but did not show any abnormality, waiting for the other party to get closer.
His consciousness locked the opponent's position, and as soon as the opponent entered the control range of the secret energy rope, he would take action immediately.
The mysterious creature in the dark was completely integrated into the environment. If it weren't for Gu Chen's extraordinary spiritual sense, he wouldn't have noticed its existence at all.
It was slowly approaching, as if it wanted to figure out what Gu Chen, the lone man, was doing, but it was a little wary and moved very cautiously.
Gu Chen was very patient, like an old monk in meditation, waiting for it to fall into a trap.
Fifty feet, thirty feet, fifteen feet...
The mysterious creature was getting closer and closer, but when it was only one meter away from the big circle drawn by Gu Chen, it stopped completely and refused to take another step forward.
It seemed to think that such an observation range was close enough. It stopped and observed Gu Chen for a while, and showed signs of retreating.
"Damn it!"
Of course, Gu Chen couldn't let it retreat just like that. With a flick of his finger, the secret rope started to move!
Although there is still one meter missing, which is not the most reliable attack range, it is still enough!
As soon as the secret energy rope moved, the air flow in the forest suddenly became abnormal. The mysterious creature's spiritual sense was extremely sharp. With a whoosh, it turned around and ran away!
The secret energy rope was thrown into the air. The mysterious creature was so agile that it was about to escape in just a few flickers!
"Where to run!"
Gu Chen's eyes suddenly opened, shining brightly, he got up immediately and chased after him!
Now that you have taken action, you must catch it, otherwise if you let the other party go back and report smoothly, there will be endless trouble!
Gu Chen's movement skills were like lightning, and the complex environment of the jungle could not affect his speed at all.
If the craftsman and others were still with him at this moment, they would be surprised to find that Gu Chen's movement skills have suddenly improved several levels compared to before, and he is completely different from the other two.
Gu Chen chased after him, and the mysterious creature was not slow at all. It remained invisible during the entire escape process, and jumped left and right in the forest, trying to make Gu Chen lose him.
If it were any other monk, even if he could catch up quickly, he would have already lost track of the mysterious creature's invisibility.
However, Gu Chen was different. The powerful five senses of the Ba Body allowed him to firmly lock the opponent's position. No matter how the opponent tried to escape in a roundabout way, no matter how good his stealth ability was, he could not escape!
Seeing that the mysterious creature couldn't get rid of Gu Chen, in a hurry, it suddenly plunged into the swamp!
What he was following this time was not the Sky-Swallowing Demon Butterfly. Gu Chen followed it without hesitation, like a vigorous swimming fish.
The water was extremely turbid, with rotten wood and beast carcasses floating in it. The visibility was extremely poor, and the mysterious creatures that had crawled in one moment were nowhere to be seen the next.
An imperceptible golden luster flashed deep in Gu Chen's eyes, and he accurately captured the position of the mysterious creature in the water, and followed it steadily.
The underwater environment is far more complicated than the water environment. Perhaps because it was believed that Gu Chen would not be able to find him for a while, the speed of the mysterious creature slowed down a bit.
It went straight to the bottom of the water as if it had a purpose. This aroused Gu Chen's interest and he didn't rush to do anything.
Swish.
As it approached the bottom of the swamp, the figure suddenly disappeared.
