Pretending To Be A Boss

If Tang Suoye could wake up, the chances of defeating a catastrophe-level creature would greatly increase.

A campfire rose, and a group of people sat around it to enjoy their food.

Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan talked about some trivial matters, while Tang Xiaojiu ate, undistracted.

Tang Xian's nose twitched, and his expression gradually became serious, albeit with a hint of uncertainty.

After about ten minutes, Akasi opened his squinted eyes, showing a trace of surprise, and glanced at Tang Xian.

Tang Xian shook his head slightly, signaling to keep calm.

Enhanced olfactory senses gave Tang Xian an extremely far-reaching detection ability.

Akasi relied on his acute sensitivity to slight tremors.

Both of them had detected something approaching. They just weren't clear about the situation yet.

The feedback from his olfactory sense was so complex that even Tang Xian was unable to discern the situation.

Soon, Dong Ran suddenly said,

"Shanshan, do you feel that? The slight tremors?"

Qiao Shanshan was stunned. The two girls had originally been sitting far apart, whispering girl talk.

Qiao Shanshan then looked at her water cup; the ripples in the water indicated that it was indeed trembling.

"This is a low hill; it shouldn't collapse, and I've never heard of earthquakes in this terrain. What's going on with this slight trembling sensation?" Qiao Shanshan said.

She looked questioningly at Tang Xian.

Tang Xian's expression grew even more grave:

"We're in danger. Block the cave entrance with something, extinguish the campfire! Quick!"

Akasi also got up, ready to take out red line grass from his bag.

Tang Xian stopped him, "Don't use that. They're probably patrolling their territory. The smell of red line grass could expose us at this time."

Akasi nodded and put out the campfire.

"Put all the food back into the bags! Don't leave any remains!"

Tang Xiaojiu was somewhat reluctant, while the two little animals, Tang Gazi and Tang Bingxiang, shrank behind Akasi.

As creatures of the mining area, they too sensed danger, especially the sensation of the earth gently trembling, which filled them with fear.

Dong Ran, looking at Tang Xian's expression, asked with a trembling voice, "Tang, what exactly is happening?"

Tang Xian looked around and said in a low voice, "Everyone, get down and press against the cave walls. Don't make a sound if you can help it."

Akasi seemed to have been through such a situation before, but it had never been as terrifying as this.

He guessed it was the migration of a herd of beasts, but where would such a large-scale operation come from?

Tang Xian leaned out of the cave, looking to the north. Nothing could be seen outside the cave; it was getting dark, and the view was no longer clear at a distance.

In the limit of his vision, there was still nothing, but the scent in his breath was becoming increasingly intense!

The few people in the cave dared not speak. Akasi pressed his ear to the ground, and after about ten more minutes, his pupils contracted,

Tang Xian's eyes also widened.

On the edge where the sunset was about to fall, in the last afterglow of the red light, clouds of dust emerged.

Countless wild bulls from the north, under the leadership of the new chieftain Yi Niu, were running wildly!

It was as if all the wild bulls of the entire crimson wilderness had gathered together, charging straight in a certain direction!

Tang Xian quickly withdrew into the cave. Like Akasi, he lay flat on the ground, also making a shushing gesture.

The group lay there, witnessing a magnificent scene outside the cave that none of them had ever seen before.

The thundering hooves of thousands of elite creatures resonated at the border of Waning Time Valley and the crimson wilderness.

Though they all knew the mining area contained tens of times more creatures than the human population, seldom had they seen such a large-scale movement of mining area creatures.

No one dared to make a sound. Although these animals were elite creatures, quantity had led to a qualitative change.

Even dozens of regular combat troops would be instantly overwhelmed by a herd of this size!

For half an hour, the vast herd of bulls stampeded past. During this time, Tang Xian noticed that it was not only bulls but also zebras, antelopes, and even lions, along with other enhanced and elite creatures, were all among them.

No wonder the very earth was trembling.

A long time after those creatures had run towards an unknown direction, Dong Ran asked:

"Tang, are we safe now?"

Tang Xian shook his head, "There's another tremor coming. Stay down. There are also many birds in the sky."

After the deafening sound of hooves had faded away, the sharp cries of birds echoed in everyone's ears.

Tang Gazi let out a "gazi" sound and said,

"There are Zudun People! Gazi!"

Qiao Shanshan was puzzled, "What are Zudun People?"

Tang Xian was visibly moved, looking at Tang Gazi, he asked, "Tang Gazi, are you sure?"

"Yes! Gazi! The ones flying in the sky are night eagles!"

"Tang, what are Zudun People?"

"A perfect-class boss creature."

"But... just perfect-class. We are going to hunt catastrophe-class... It can't be that worrying, right?" Dong Ran said, unsure.

Tang Xian shook his head. After all, Zudun People were extremely rare creatures, so it wasn't surprising that Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan didn't know about them.

But he still said,

"We walk in nature, preying on all things, yet we must also revere all things. True, you may feel the days in the forest sea have been comfortable since following me, but also remember, this is a harsh world that keeps all of human civilization isolated in the cracks."
