Chapter 1366: Chapter 513 Volcano_3
With the situation at the time, Zhou Tian should have considered how to lure the lion into the volcano when he was devising that plan.
And since Zhou Tian had made such a plan and set it in motion, it showed that he had a corresponding strategy in mind and was confident that he could indeed draw the lion into the volcano. Otherwise, if he wasn’t even sure about this, there would be no need for Zhou Tian to proceed with anything that followed.
Given the circumstances, Zhou Tian quickly initiated action at that time.
Regardless, Zhou Tian saw the lion’s strength, just like his own, as merely the defensive power represented by a combination of various rules and abilities. If it hadn’t been for the lion’s defenses being as impenetrable as a turtle shell, leaving Zhou Tian with no way to attack, cleaning up the opponent wouldn’t be as troublesome as it seemed, even if the lion’s combat power was several times stronger.
So, with Zhou Tian’s confidence, the task of getting the lion into the volcanic region didn’t seem difficult to him. If the lion refused to enter the volcano, then Zhou Tian was ready to forcefully bring it inside.
At that point, the lion’s combat power was formidable only in terms of defense; its overall strength did not impress Zhou Tian. Thus, defeating the lion was not an easy task, but if Zhou Tian’s goal was merely to forcefully transport the lion somewhere, it wasn’t easy but neither was it impossible if he put his mind to it.
Therefore, in line with the situation at hand, while the lion was still hesitating about whether to pursue further, Zhou Tian had already made the decision for it.
Isn’t it refusing to enter the volcano?
Since the lion was unable to decide, Zhou Tian didn’t mind helping it make that decision.
Consequently, while the lion was still pondering the safety of entering the volcano, the arrangements Zhou Tian had made earlier were suddenly revealed.
As Zhou Tian’s will shifted, a group of replica Beastmen that he had stationed outside the volcano burst forth from various locations. And when those replica Beastmen appeared, the lion was startled.
Although the replica Beastmen created by Zhou Tian were only average in strength to the lion and wouldn’t be a match for it in a fight—even if Zhou Tian produced an innumerable number of them—they could nonetheless frighten the lion simply because it had never encountered such ability before, and the emergence of a large army from an empty environment was enough to give the lion a shock.
The same ability to create replica Beastmen, if used in the Main Plane, would have been considered a fairly decent ability. Although their combat power was not enough to help Zhou Tian and the other Monsters defeat strong enemies, they could be useful in certain specific environments.
However, after arriving in this new world, a primarily supportive ability turned out to have an additional effect of deterrence.
The world Zhou Tian and his companions were now in differed greatly from the Main Plane. In the Main Plane, numbers meant little, and if one lacked the necessary power, even a large army of millions would be no match for a single strong opponent. Zhou Tian himself, being a powerful entity, could easily wipe out billions of living beings in the Main Plane, should he choose to do so.
However, the Human Sea Tactic, meaningless in the Main Plane, became extremely powerful in this new world. freёwebnovel.com
The reason was simple: while the population of this current world was scarce—scarcely comparable to even a single continent’s population in the outside world—the living beings’ combat power here was significant.
Due to the harsh environment, any creature able to survive in this harsh world was guaranteed to be at least decently powerful. Given the environmental conditions of the current world, even if the lion’s power was considerable and it was regarded as a strong being here, being surrounded by Large Tribes could ultimately lead to an unavoidable fate of being wiped out. As such, the most dangerous entities in this world, apart from those with formidable power, were indeed the Large Tribes.
The replica Beastmen created by Zhou Tian’s ability, naturally, could not compare to the creatures of this world and might not even be considered living beings.
But now the problem was that the lion wasn’t aware of that!
Due to its lack of experience with Zhou Tian’s ability, the lion naturally mistook the replica Beastmen for creatures of this current world and thus was understandably shocked under those circumstances.
