Seeing the Lang brothers’ figures blown away by a gust of wind, the three of them revealed puzzled expressions.
After half a second of silence, Gao Lixuan blinked and asked in confusion,
“They left the secret realm?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t think so. When you leave the secret realm, there should be a golden light notification.. They just disappeared.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Han thought of something and probed, “Is this their lord skill?”
Before Wang Xiao could open his mouth and say anything, two figures appeared in the distance. Although they were hidden in the dust and smoke and their appearances could not be seen clearly, from their figures and outlines, they were the Lang brothers just now.
“They’re here again!”
Wang Xiao’s expression turned cold. The three of them were prepared for battle again. However, they did not expect that just like before, the two figures only swayed for a few seconds before disappearing again.
The three of them looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Wang Xiao looked at the battlefield filled with dust and smoke and then at the base not far behind him. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. However, before he could seriously think about it, two blurry figures appeared in the dust.
With the previous two experiences, although the three of them were vigilant this time, they were not in a hurry to prepare for battle.
As expected, after only a second, the two figures dissipated into the dust.
“This should be their strategy.”
Gao Lixuan frowned and said softly, “We’ll let our guard down through continuous harassment and then find an opportunity to attack on a large scale.”
“I see!”
Yi Han looked enlightened when he heard this. Then, he patted his chest in fear. “Fortunately, you guys came back. Otherwise, I would have really fallen into a trap!”
Gao Lixuan smiled proudly and was about to speak when Wang Xiao suddenly shook his head. “No, their plan shouldn’t be so simple.”
As if he could not be refuted, Gao Lixuan clearly revealed a displeased expression. “Then tell me, what’s their plan?”
“I don’t know, but this kind of harassment is meaningless.”
Wang Xiao pointed at the base behind him. “I just thought of it—no matter what method they used to disappear, as long as it’s the enemy’s main body, the fortifications of the base will automatically attack.”
“But the enemy has already appeared three or four times, but our fortifications haven’t reacted at all.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, two more shadows appeared in the dust on the battlefield.
The situation was just as he had said. There was no reaction from the fortifications in the base.
After a pause, Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and continued, “Therefore, even if there’s only one [Defensive Arrow Tower], we can still determine if the enemy is real or fake. What’s the point of their harassment?”
This analysis was reasonable and irrefutable. Gao Lixuan was immediately speechless. After a few seconds, he whispered, “Then what do you think?” Wang Xiao did not say anything. He only turned around and looked at the base.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
According to Zhou Xiruo’s past habits, she would definitely come to look for him immediately after discovering his return.
However, not only was Zhou Xiruo not here, but he couldn’t see anyone in the base. It was as if there was no one in the base at all.
“Yi Han!”
Wang Xiao shouted, “Are you sure the others are all in the base?”
Yi Han scratched his head and replied hesitantly, “Previously, they said that the [Energy Core] of the fortifications could not last long, so I came out to stall for time. The others should still be in the base.”
When Wang Xiao heard this, his frown deepened. He could not tell what was wrong, but he had a feeling that he had been tricked.
The Lang brothers had killed the other members of Yaoguang’s team, but no one had discovered them. This meant that they did not seem to want to make a big fuss.
However, now that they had swaggered over to attack the base, they did not attack at all and only passively endured the attacks of the base’s fortifications.
If there was only one inconsistency, it could still be understood as a sudden situation. However, two inconsistent actions in a short period of time meant that they were definitely planning something.
“What exactly is it…”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Yi Han. ‘What request did you say those two made previously?”
“Request?”
Yi Han was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, “They wanted to ask Zhou Xiruo for help, but we didn’t agree. Then, they fought…”
“Oh no! They’re trying to create a diversion!”
Wang Xiao shouted and jumped onto the back of the Silver Shadow Leopard. In the next second, he directly turned into a stream of light and rushed into the base.
As soon as he crossed the wall, Wang Xiao saw a few people lying behind the entrance of the base.
Fang Tianyu and Han Bufan fell together. There were also two Yuheng Academy members lying by the door. They looked like they were preparing to open the door, but they did not see Zhou Xiruo and another Yuheng member.
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly set off to search the base.
This was only the most basic small base. Wang Xiao rode the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and quickly circled the entire base. However, even after searching the defense belt of the arrow tower outside, he still did not see Zhou Xiruo and another team member.
When Wang Xiao returned to the vicinity of the door, Gao Lixuan and Yi Han had also returned and were using various spirit grass and tools to treat them.
Seeing Wang Xiao, Gao Lixuan immediately frowned and asked, “What’s going on? What did you mean by a diversion just now?”
Wang Xiao did not say anything and only opened the interface with a gloomy expression. Although he could not control this base, because of the existence of the [vassal contract], he could still see Zhou Xiruo’s operation interface.
Gao Lixuan took a look and frowned. “Why have these fortifications been switched to manual mode? Did Zhou Xiruo deliberately let the enemy in?”
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and whispered with a complicated tone, “Zhou Xiruo told me that this is the habit of all construction lords. It’s to prevent their teammates from being accidentally injured by fortifications.”
“Our enemies definitely know this habit, so they came over but did not attack. Their goal should be to take advantage of the fact that the fortifications have been switched to [Manual Mode] to sneak in when we return to provide support.”
“Are you serious?”
Gao Lixuan revealed a suspicious expression. “Even I don’t know about this habit. How did the enemy know?”
“It’s normal for you not to know because you’ve never been in a team with a construction lord and have never participated in battles with other planets.”
Wang Xiao replied coldly with a dark expression, “There are only two explanations for the current situation. Either there’s a construction lord among our enemies, or…”
“Our enemies fought in official wars.”
Gao Lixuan continued with a solemn expression.. He paused and added, “It might even be warriors from other planets!”
