Chapter 664: 357 Cunning!_2

Fang Yuxin stood by Bai Ye’s side, but she hadn’t made a move. Instead, her eyes were tightly focused on the distance, searching for the Zombie Wolf Leader. Bai Ye, on the other hand, was staring intently at the battlefield below, his brows deeply furrowed. He felt that something was amiss!

As he watched all the Speed Zombie Beasts being intercepted, Bai Ye suddenly called out, "Everyone be careful! Something isn’t right! All Ice Ability Users, hurry up and freeze the ground!"

Bai Zhengli also felt some unease, so as soon as Bai Ye spoke up, he promptly commanded, "Everyone follow his orders! All Ice Ability Users, freeze the ground!"

Fang Yuxin didn’t know much about warfare, but she also felt that the Zombie Wolf was a bit too cunning and was likely a Level 4 Zombie! If the enemy was this cunning, they wouldn’t just wait outside without making other preparations!

Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn’t guess what the enemy would do. Bai Ye was much better at this than she was. Once he saw that the situation was off, he guessed that the enemy might be "deceiving the enemy" and immediately ordered Ice Ability Users to freeze the ground. Even if this wouldn’t completely stop the enemy, at the very least it would create some trouble for them!

Fang Yuxin wasn’t foolish. Even though she hadn’t thought of this earlier, as soon as Bai Ye mentioned it, she understood. She immediately released her Spiritual Sense to probe underground. Looking down, she indeed found something!

That something was likely a burrowing-specialist Pangolin Zombie. Although they had become zombies, it was clear their burrowing skills were intact. Presumably, it was the Zombie Wolf Leader’s command that had them dig tunnels from below. Once the tunnels were ready, these zombies could come through from underground and catch them completely off guard!

Unfortunately, after Red Powder took root, it spread a large number of roots through the soil, so most of the Pangolin Zombies were stopped by Red Powder’s roots and were pierced through. Lan Re’s roots were not as pervasive as Red Powder’s, allowing about a dozen Pangolin Zombies to successfully cross, and they had already passed through the Protection Wall and were directly beneath them.

Fortunately, Bai Ye promptly identified the problem and had the Ice Ability Users freeze the ground, at least causing some trouble for them.

However, this alone was far from enough!

The Pangolin Zombie’s claws were incredibly sharp, perfectly designed for burrowing, not to mention frozen ground—they could even dig through solid rock! The freezing of the ground only slowed them down, and with a bit more time, they could completely dig through.

Fang Yuxin immediately reported the situation to Bai Ye using telepathy, "Not good, there are Pangolin Zombies below, the ground freezing doesn’t affect them much, it only slows them down a bit."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye used telepathy to ask her, "Have you seen where those Pangolin Zombies are?" While speaking, he also silently released his Spiritual Sense to probe beneath the ground.

At first, his Spiritual Sense was not as good as Fang Yuxin’s, but after he inherited the Dragon Scale Sword, possibly influenced by the inheritance, his Soul Power gradually became more formidable, and correspondingly, his Spiritual Sense also grew stronger. Especially after his Foundation Establishment, his Spiritual Sense could extend quite far.

Even though Bai Ye wasn’t as adept at controlling his Spiritual Sense as Fang Yuxin, nor as nimble, it didn’t stop him from surveying the situation underground. Especially with Fang Yuxin’s tip, he easily located the Pangolin Zombies. The ones controlled by Red Powder’s pervasive roots were not his concern; the remaining dozen or so required caution!

After Bai Ye located the Pangolin Zombies, he quickly simulated their routes forward in his mind and finally determined the range from which they would emerge.

Then he walked over to Bai Zhengli and quietly informed him of the situation. Bai Zhengli was quick-witted. Upon hearing him, his face changed and he immediately ordered the people at the suspected exit to retreat.

Although he was older than Bai Ye, already fifty years old, his mind was quite agile. After ordering people to retreat, he issued another command for the Fire Element Superpower Users to get ready, and as soon as the Pangolin Zombies opened the tunnel, to prepare to attack!

Bai Ye, however, had a different opinion. He said, "These Pangolin Zombies are most likely obeying the Zombie Wolf Leader’s commands. Once they open the tunnel, they will definitely try to send a signal, and they’ll likely use howling to do so. That way, when the Zombie Wolf Leader outside hears their sound, it will command the other Zombie Beasts to attack from the tunnel. We should attack then! Otherwise, if these Pangolin Zombies don’t successfully signal, the cunning Zombie Wolf might lead this horde of Zombie Beasts away, and we would have lost our opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed with Bai Ye’s opinion. Everyone had a similar thought: since they were already prepared for battle and had created traps and a Protection Wall, using many superpowers. It would be a great loss if the Zombie Beast horde left!

So the plan changed, some people evacuated from their previous positions and moved to other safe areas, then some continued to keep watch on the Zombie Beast horde outside to prevent further attack. The rest stared intently at the ground, waiting for the Pangolin Zombies to break through the tunnel.

At this time, the Zombie Wolf Leader gave another order, so another hundred Zombie Beasts came out and launched another assault. However, by now, everyone understood that these attacking Zombie Beasts were just pawns sent by the Zombie Wolf Leader to confuse them, while it was still waiting for the Pangolin Zombies to break through the tunnel!

Many were shocked to their core. This was clearly a ploy of "deceiving the enemy," and that Zombie Wolf Leader was just too cunning! (To be continued.
