"How could this be discovered?"
A few miles away from the woods by the river, it was the Five Animals Brothers who had previously come to the Flat River City Lord's mansion. One of them, whose unfocused eyes had just returned to normal, had a layer of surprise on his face. He told the other four how he was discovered by Lu Ping. It caused a burst of exclamation.
"I have already said that this Lu Ping's perception is extremely sensitive, and I told you not to act rashly." The leader of the five was the one who directly talked to Yu Ruo in the Flat River City Lord's mansion. His surname was Zhang Hong, and he was the eldest of the five brothers. At this time, he was calm, and there was not much reproach in his tone.
"Who would have thought that this could be discovered?" The fourth of the five brothers, who had previously used his special ability "River Soul Attraction," attaching the power of the three spirits of his six spirits, Chong, Ming, and Jing, to the loach in the paint a few miles away. He wanted to use this to explore the situation of the other party. As a result, he had been detected by Lu Ping before he could move under the mud. He was so scared that he hurriedly withdrew his special ability.
The five of them were all good at bionic special abilities. The bionic special abilities were often different depending on the type of animal it was used on. The fourth brother, Xu Yuan's "River Soul Attraction" was limited to some small animals that lived in still water or slow rivers. This kind of creature was relatively low-level and easy to be attached to. Moreover, "River Soul Attraction" was only an attachment, not a control, so the range of the special ability was large. But like the second brother, Yu Gang, who was good at "Animal Plucking," he could control beasts for his use. The range was limited to a hundred meters, and the number and species of beasts controlled would also vary from person to person. As for the fifth brother, Yi Xun, he was good at "Beast Soul Attraction" with similar names to "River Soul Attraction," but because the attached animals were different, the requirements of the two special abilities were different. Attaching a tiger could hurt people, but attaching a loach would make people more careful of being caught and cooked. Therefore, "Beast Soul Attraction" could be used for fighting, but "River Soul Attraction" was more used for reconnaissance.
This was also the reason why Xu Yuan realized that Lu Ping was aware of him and hurriedly withdrew his special ability. The small loach didn't have any fighting power, and his "River Soul Guide" couldn't control the movements of the attached animals. If Lu Ping had really smashed the loach with one punch, Xu Yuan, whose soul power was still attached to it, would have been severely injured even though he was several miles away. This was also a common characteristic of this type of bionic Arcana, or rather, a flaw. Controlling living beings and controlling inanimate objects were two completely different things. Otherwise, there would not be a separate Arcana class like the Bionic class. It could be directly merged into the Control class.
"Over at River Flat, there are fewer walking beasts. Moreover, even the River Soul Guide can be detected. Looks like we can only rely on Second Brother to collect more information," Zhang Hong, the eldest brother, said.
"Mm." The few of them looked at Third Brother. Li Yi simply responded with a grunt. He was the one who had discovered the whereabouts of Lu Ping and his party. His special ability, "Soul Search Guide," wasn't an attachment, nor was it a control, but a direct search for information in an animal's memory. After leaving the Flat River City Lord's Mansion, they began to track the whereabouts of Lu Ping and his party. They relied on Li Yi's "Soul Search Guide," and finally learned the forest where Lu Ping and his party were from a little bird.
Then they checked the map and found a stream nearby. Xu Yuan couldn't wait any longer. As soon as he entered the range of his ability, he began to search for creatures in the river to attach to and investigate.
In the end, the target was discovered, but he was also exposed. He listened to a few sentences of the conversation between Lu Ping and Fang Yizhu, and really didn't dare to listen any further. He quickly withdrew his special ability, which resulted in the scene of the five of them discussing.
"This boundary at River Flat really isn't suitable for us brothers!" Fifth Brother Yu Gang sighed. Just like when Lu Ping and his party entered River Flat, they immediately felt that there was little game and food was hard to find. What Yu Gang needed were ferocious beasts, and there were very few of them in the River Flat district. However, bionic cultivators like him would raise the beasts they needed to tame, making it easier for them to control them. Now that he was in the wilderness, his three tigers were by his side. Even so, such an environment still restricted bionic cultivators, especially him and Yi Xun.
"I'd wanted to deal with them in the wills quadrant, but who would've thought that the wills quadrant would be so useless?" Eldest Zhang Hong said.
"The River Flat district isn't much better! Yu Ruo of Southern Sky? Doesn't look like much to me. "Fourth Brother Xu Yuan shook his head as he spoke.
"The four great academies? Heh heh. "Zhang Hong laughed disapprovingly. The five of them had all come from unorthodox backgrounds and had made a name for themselves in the end. They'd never thought much of the academies. Those from the four great academies in particular seemed to be a cut above the rest, which irritated them the most. There were also those from the four great academies working for them in the Dark Army Protectorate. They formed their own circle and didn't fit in with Zhang Hong's small group. There were countless open and veiled conflicts between them.
"Silence." Third Brother Li Yi, who was a man of few words, suddenly spoke up. The other four immediately shut up. The five of them were arranged according to their age. Usually, the oldest was the most respected. However, the one who made the decisions and decisions at critical moments was usually third brother Li Yi. His Special Ability was best at capturing information. After analyzing the information, he would be able to formulate a plan. This was something that Li Yi was able to accomplish easily. The others would also be able to follow his plan under such circumstances.
"What have you discovered?" Eldest Zhang Hong asked after five seconds of silence.
"They're about to leave the forest." Li Yi closed his eyes.
The other three looked around, but didn't see any animals. They didn't know where Li Yi had gotten this information from.
"Which direction?" Zhang Hong asked.
"North." Li Yi said.
"If they're heading north …" Zhang Hong spread out the map.
"They're still heading in the direction of Dark Army City." Li Yi said.
"They sure are brave." Fifth Brother Yu Gang sighed.
"That's why there's a need to chase after them. I think we can just wait in Dark Army City." Fourth Brother Xu Yuan said.
"How will the Empire keep its face if we do that?" Zhang Hong said.
"Why don't we take a detour?" Li Yi said. He didn't say much, but he always hit the nail on the head. He pointed at a spot on the map towards the north.
"We do need some preparation for the battle in Plain Plain. It's disadvantageous for us to encounter them." Zhang Hong nodded.
"Or should we wait for them to leave Plain Plain?" Fifth Brother Yu Gang said.
"Then what's the difference between us and useless people like Zhi Ling and Plain Plain?" Zhang Hong stared at the map. The Plain Plain district was huge, and they had plenty of time. However, it was also true that this area was disadvantageous to them. Zhang Hong looked towards the north and found that the spot Li Yi had pointed out was the most suitable.
