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 on the surface.
He wanted to figure it out, but it was hard to do that as long as he stayed with the team.
The reason is simple, he doesn't know what role Wuwang Pavilion plays in it.
From the very beginning when he just met the Pavilion Master of Wuwang Pavilion to accepting the dream-level task, he has actually been very passive.
The asymmetry of information made him realize that he couldn't go on like this, so he took advantage of the conflict with the craftsman to leave the team reasonably and actively sought to break the situation!
There was no one around, Gu Chen summoned the Promise Tyrannosaurus Rex from the space in his body, and explained his discovery.
"The master suspects that this mission is a bureau set up by Wuwang Pavilion, with an ulterior purpose?" Wuji Tyrannosaurus rex frowned after hearing the existence of those creatures in the dark.
"It's not easy to make a judgment at the moment, so I need your help. You are responsible for following Lay Taohua and the others all the way, and pay attention to see if there are still people spying in the dark." Gu Chen pondered.
"Then where are you going, master?" asked the Promise Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"I stay where I am. If I leave the team and someone is still following me, but there is no one following you, it means that I am the target of the group of creatures in the dark."
"On the contrary, if there is no one following me on my side, and there are still on your side, it means that the other party's target is actually Wuwang Pavilion, and it is unlikely that Wuwang Pavilion will set up a trap."
After Gu Chen explained, the Promise Tyrannosaurus rex quickly understood.
The reason why the troops were divided into two groups was originally to test the origin of the people in the dark.
"Then what if people on both sides continue to follow at the same time? Master, didn't you just say that more than one person is following, and the other party has a large number of people, so it is entirely possible to do so." Promise Tyrannosaurus asked a question.
Gu Chen naturally thought of this, if this is the case, he still can't deduce Wuwange's position, and his thoughts will be in vain, so he must make second-hand preparations.
"If someone is still following me, I will take it down and ask the situation thoroughly," he replied.
"Won't this scare the snake away?"
"It's hard to make a perfect plan. If you have to make a fool of yourself, you can only do it. It's better than not knowing the truth."
"I get it, I'll get things done."
Knowing Gu Chen's thoughts, the Promise Tyrannosaurus Rex skimmed across the water, and soon chased Lay Taohua and his party.
Although it is not small in size, it is actually extremely agile. Even in this ancient swamp, its speed is not slow, so there is no need to worry about being pulled away by the people in front.
The reason why Gu Chen asked the Promise Tyrannosaurus to follow Peach Blossom Layman and the others instead of sending the Heaven-swallowing Demon Butterfly was also 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 Heaven-swallowing Demon Butterflies are very suitable for investigation, their strength in the Dao world is still too weak. As the top blood of the dinosaur family, the Promise Tyrannosaurus Rex has unfathomable strength and talent.
Gu Chen stayed where he was, and sat cross-legged under the canopy of a big tree, seemingly entering a state of cultivation.
However, in fact, his mind has already spread out, paying attention to the wind and grass around him.
His left fingertips trembled slightly, and the invisible rope of mysterious energy stretched around under his thoughts, quietly drawing a large circle with a radius of ten feet.
As long as the mysterious creature that spied on him before reappears and enters this circle, the secret energy rope will shrink and tighten at the fastest speed, entangle the opponent at once, and the opponent will be unable to move at that time.
Gu Chen is not worried that the other party will notice his trap. Before the secret energy rope does not move, 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 take it down.
The swamp was hot and humid, and there was no cool breeze for a long time. Without knowing it, half an hour passed.
Suddenly, that feeling of being spied on reappeared!
"Is the target me?"
Gu Chen sneered in his heart, but did not show any abnormality, waiting for the other party to get closer.
His divine sense locked the opponent's position, and as soon as the opponent entered the control range of the secret energy rope, he would immediately attack.
The mysterious creature in the dark is completely integrated with the environment, if it weren't for Gu Chen's supernatural sense, he would not have noticed its existence at all.
It was slowly approaching, as if it wanted to find out what Gu Chen, who was alone, was doing, but he was a little apprehensive, and his movements were very cautious.
Gu Chen is very patient, like an old monk in meditation, waiting for it to throw itself into the 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 a step forward.
It seemed to feel that such an observation range was close enough, stopped to observe Gu Chen for a while, and showed signs of retreating.
"Damn it!"
Of course Gu Chen couldn't let it just retreat, flicked his fingers, and the secret energy rope started to move!
Although it was still one meter short, not the safest attack range, it was barely enough!
As soon as the mysterious energy rope was moved, the airflow in the forest suddenly appeared abnormal, and the mysterious creature had extremely keen senses. With a swish, it turned around and ran away!
The mysterious energy rope flew into the air, the mysterious creature was too agile, and it was about to run away after a few flashes!
"Where to run!"
Gu Chen's eyes suddenly opened, bursting out with brilliance, got up immediately, and chased after him!
Now that you have made a move, you must catch it, otherwise you will have endless troubles if you let the other party go back and report smoothly!
Gu Chen's movement is like lightning, and the complex environment of the jungle can't affect his speed at all.
If the craftsman and the others are still by his side at this moment, they will be surprised to find that Gu Chen's body skills have suddenly improved several levels compared to before, making him a completely different person.
Gu Chen pursued closely, and the mysterious creature was not slow. It remained invisible during the entire escape process, and jumped left and around in the forest, trying to make Gu Chen follow.
If it was another monk, even if he could catch up with the speed, he would have already lost in front of the invisible ability of the mysterious creature.
However, Gu Chen is different. The powerful five senses of the domineering body allow him to firmly lock the opponent's position, no matter how the opponent escapes, no matter how clever the stealth ability is, there is nowhere to hide!
Seeing that the mysterious creature couldn't get rid of Gu Chen no matter what, it jumped into the swamp in panic!
This time it wasn't the Heaven Swallowing Demon Butterfly who was chasing, Gu Chen followed without hesitation, like a vigorous fish swimming.
The water was extremely turbid, with rotting wood and wild animal carcasses floating around. The sightlines were extremely poor, and the mysterious creature that had just penetrated in the previous moment disappeared without a trace the next moment.
An imperceptible golden luster flashed in the depths of Gu Chen's pupils, and he accurately captured the position of the mysterious creature in the water, and followed steadily behind.
The underwater environment is far more complicated than the water environment, perhaps because he 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, which aroused Gu Chen's interest, so he didn't rush to do it.
swish.
As it approached the bottom of the swamp, the figure suddenly disappeared.
