Zhou Tian’s plan seemed to be going very smoothly, and regardless of what followed, at least during the initial period, Zhou Tian’s plan encountered no issues. It was precisely because the plan was proceeding so well that Zhou Tian had the opportunity to severely damage that enemy force.
Everything was as Zhou Tian had thought. Due to the pressure he had imposed on those living beings, it wasn’t too much of a problem before he appeared, but once he did show up, those creatures would never give him the chance to conceal himself again.
As a result, although Zhou Tian himself had not made an appearance at that time, when the clone he had sent out revealed a trace of aura near a Beastman patrol team, it was immediately discovered by those living beings.
Upon detecting the aura of Zhou Tian’s clone, those creatures did not hesitate for a moment. Almost as soon as they sensed Zhou Tian’s presence, they were sending messages back while stealthily approaching the location of Zhou Tian at the time. frёeωebɳovel.com
How could Zhou Tian possibly allow those living beings to discover his hiding place? Since it was he who had deliberately revealed his footprints, he simply allowed those living beings to find his position.
Under the excited watch of those creatures, following Zhou Tian’s orders, his clone, as though unaware of the creatures’ surveillance, led the creature straight to an entrance of the underground cave as if he was returning from an outing.
"See if you don’t fall for it!"
Sensing the nearly imperceptible aura nearby, Zhou Tian sneered and then ordered his clone to enter the entrance of the cavern.
Just as Zhou Tian had anticipated, those creatures did not immediately follow the clone into the cave after it entered. However, upon seeing one of Zhou Tian’s clones enter the cave, the creatures did not hastily take action at that time.
As a result, after about an hour of waiting and following orders that were sent back, a large number of living beings were then summoned to that location.
"There are so many of them!"
An unexpected event finally occurred. According to Zhou Tian’s original plan, even if those creatures despised him to their core, upon receiving the news of his whereabouts, they would not miss the chance for a decisive strike to defeat him. But with his strength, the creatures would definitely still be worried about the possibility of him seizing the chance to flee.
Therefore, in Zhou Tian’s estimation, even though those creatures would certainly take action after discovering his clone, due to various concerns, they should have only sent roughly a thousand, at most a few thousand, troops to deal with him. As long as the number of troops sent by the other side was appropriate, Zhou Tian could then rely on his plan to completely ’devour’ the encircling force.
But when the situation actually developed to that point, Zhou Tian suddenly realized that the enemy, whether out of deep hatred for him or a strong desire to end the war, had mobilized nearly ten thousand troops to surround him, even without confirming that the location they had found was indeed his true hiding place.
With the strength of those creatures, if nearly ten thousand troops were to encircle Zhou Tian, they would surely be able to capture him without fail. However, the problem now was that they were still unable to confirm Zhou Tian’s position, and given the situation at the time, if Zhou Tian wanted to withdraw, with the outside military power, that team would have no chance whatsoever to stop Zhou Tian from escaping.
A situation that was never supposed to happen had occurred, and at that time, Zhou Tian himself did not know how to proceed.
If Zhou Tian chose to retreat right then, he would not encounter any trouble at that moment. But the problem was that Zhou Tian clearly did not want to retreat so easily, as he had never forgotten to assimilate the strength of these creatures during the combat process. With confidence, if he could completely swallow this team, Zhou Tian believed he could assemble a force of clones that was not inferior in strength.
Giving up on his original plan was not something Zhou Tian would willingly agree to. In this situation, if possible, Zhou Tian still hoped to fight against that enemy force.
The reaction of the other side was indeed somewhat unexpected to Zhou Tian, but even if the opponents’ response was more surprising, if Zhou Tian was truly unwilling to let go and continue the fight, then he might still have the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the other side. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Clearly, continuing his original plan was no longer viable at this point, as based on the current strength of the opposing troops, if Zhou Tian were to pursue his so-called plan, he feared that in the end it might instead lead to him being cleaned up by the other side.
However, although Zhou Tian was no longer able to continue with his plan because of the excessive reaction of the other side, fortunately, the alteration to the situation was not too significant. So although there was a certain gap between the situation and his plan, Zhou Tian only pondered briefly before immediately revealing a confident smile.
