Xing Lingfeng!
Up until now, Xing Lingfeng has not responded to his private messages, pretending to be dead. When he opened the system panel just now, there was still no reply from him.
He seemed to have disappeared.
But on the world channel, he found Xing Lingfengâs speech, with a timestamp after he sent the inquiry, proving that Xing Lingfeng wasnât in the Secret Realm somewhere unable to see messages; nor was it because he was too busy to check them.
Can someone busy enough to announce recruitment on the world channel really be too occupied?
To avoid suspicion, everything must be prepared in advance, right?
As for nitrocellulose, thereâs not the slightest bit for sale in the World Trade Mall.
If he hadnât unlocked such a massive load of nitrocellulose yesterday, then the number of bullets he could make right now wouldnât be enough to eliminate the remaining fifty to sixty thousand Lizardmen, and beggars that might appear at any time.
And is this part of their calculation too?
Lin Yue was behind the shield, targeting the Lizardmen through the high-powered sighting scope of his sniper rifle.
Despite many speculations, the key evidence still hasnât emerged.
And when those...
Theyâre here!
Suddenly, at the far back of the continually gathering Lizardmen, silhouettes began emerging from the wild grass, increasing in number and gathering more and more!
Beggars!
Without a doubt, they are beggars, these humans emerging from the underground caves are the "accompanying creatures" of the Lizardmen, usually appearing together with them. After so long, yet they now appear from behind the gathering Lizardmen...
It seems theyâve been planning for a long time.
"The evidence has arrived, and the numbers are somewhat astonishing." Lin Yue noticed the mass of beggars amassing behind the Lizardmen, quickly surpassing several thousand, and couldnât help but raise an eyebrow.
"Theyâve deployed considerable forces; it looks like today they wonât give up until they take me down."
The number of beggars was still rising and they continued organizing their ranks, forming an orderly pattern.
Lin Yue glanced at something not far behind him.
It seemed its usefulness was finally here?
However, he wanted to confirm just one thing.
Scanning through the increasingly orderly ranks of beggars with the sighting scope, Lin Yue watched for any faces that looked like "masterminds."
However, the number of beggars... this was over ten thousand, wasnât it?
Lin Yue lifted his head, looked at the distant dense crowd behind the Lizardmen, and sighed again.
Ten thousand, perhaps more?
At this moment, suddenly behind him roared a huge sound, followed by dense pounding sounds, then a scream extremely unpleasant to hear!
The roar shook, heavy smoke rose into the sky.
Itâs over.
Lin Yue glanced back; the little fierce fellow Xiao Meng was still vigorous, a mere Poison Celestial Dragon was no problem at all.
This matter solved, so next...
Lin Yue observed the faces of each beggar through the sighting scope.
He was searching for any possibly familiar faces.
He was pretty sure now; this timeâs Lizardmen attack is definitely related to that person.
Moreover, that person should reveal their true self once all these beggars appear.
Lin Yue waited.
Beggars continued standing up from the grass, flowing endlessly.
Lizardmen had gathered, forming blocks of square formations.
Beggars were behind them, lining up too, beginning to show some structure.
In the distance, giant creatures kept striding, orderly moving this way, estimating theyâll reach the beggars and Lizardmenâs position in a moment.
Yet, the enemyâs main figure was still unseen...
Lin Yueâs sighting scope continued the search.
But scanning past someone inadvertently, he hesitated.
The face looked familiar.
Itâs a golden-haired youth with a big beard, ordinary in appearance, but Lin Yue found them quite familiar.
This familiarity doesnât come from being an Earth celebrity or some famous person; rather, heâs seen this person before in this Otherworld...
In this Otherworld, he hadnât seen too many peopleâs looks with his own eyes.
If he had seen them, heâd surely remember.
Just like when he bumped into Liu Kaiâs Refugee Village, he clearly remembers the faces of everyone who had met with him.
During the Levik five-hundred-person attack, heâd seen several leaders in person, and naturally remembers their looks.
But this golden-haired, bearded man wasnât among them.
Remaining possibilities are in the Secret Realm.
Yet those met in the Secret Realm and still alive are only Wang Ce and those few people; the rest...
Wait a minute.
Lin Yue suddenly thought of someone!
This person narrowly escaped during his early exploration in the Secret Realm.
And the one who died at that time was also someone very familiar to him.
Coincidentally, this person is suspected by Lin Yue to be the one still causing trouble behind the scenes!
Oh, it seems everythingâs connected now?
So, is this really the case?
Lin Yue continued to aim the sighting scope at the golden-haired, bearded man for a while, suddenly discovering this person said something to the one next to them, then ran to the back.
Lin Yueâs sighting scope focused on his back, continually pursuing.
