252: Chapter 252 Using Ancient Beasts as Guides!?

The surrounding Giant Centipedes no longer had their initial arrogance.

It was truly because the three creatures the other side sent out were too ridiculous.

That Two-legged Beast seemed to have precognitive abilities, accurately judging their companions' attack positions and timing.

The Hamster was as hard as iron... such a small thing clashing head-on with their companions.

It smashed their companions to death while remaining completely unharmed itself.

The most ridiculous one had to be that bird.

It picked up their companions and then performed combos in the air?!

Just asking, are these moves even reasonable??

They completely defy the essence of biological structure, okay?

"I finally understand now why you guys were wiped out back then..."

One Giant Centipede said to the two centipedes who had recently joined.

"With these heaven-defying methods, even if an Allosaurus came, it would probably be scared shitless."

"Exactly! The only ones that could rival them are Tyrannosaurus Rexes working as a team, but..."

But Tyrannosaurus Rexes are the solitary type.

So, even if a Tyrannosaurus Rex came, it would likely be scared shitless.

However, the two newly joined centipedes were also dazed and a bit confused.

It wasn't like this when they were wiped out before.

It was understandable that the Two-legged Beast's combat power was off the charts.

After all, it was he who had wiped out their tribe back then.

But what was up with that rat and the Parrot?

At that time, these two animals had absolutely no presence, okay?

How did they suddenly become so heaven-defying?

The two Giant Centipedes couldn't figure out why for the life of them.

Could it be they super-evolved?

The two Giant Centipedes tried hard to calm down, but they just couldn't.

It was truly just too ridiculous...

But on second thought, even if the bird and the rat weren't heaven-defying, the result would have been the same.

"Now you know why the two of us were so scared from the start?"

"I suggest we make way for them..."

"..."

The Giant Centipedes looked at each other, seeing the unwillingness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

It would be such a pity to let so much prey go.

But if they didn't, they feared they would be the ones dying in the end.

In their silent exchange of looks, the Giant Centipedes began to sink into the ground, their bodies gradually disappearing.

They intended to leave just like that.

Seeing this, A Giao immediately jumped down from the rock in excitement.

He said with soaring momentum:

"Giao! Why are you guys running?"

"Are you really that cowardly?"

"Come on! If you have the guts, fight me; just wait and see if I giao you or not."

"Hehe~ Little sister, isn't your brother very majestic?"

Hua Hua glanced at her brother with disgust and then silently moved away from him.

She couldn't bear to look.

It was too embarrassing.

It's a good thing she's her brother's mount; otherwise, he'd probably be abandoned by the team.

An Ke paid no attention to A Giao.

This guy was beyond saving now.

But An Ke didn't have much expectation for him anyway.

He was just a mount, after all.

Originally, An Ke didn't plan to continue entangling with the Giant Centipedes; it would be fine if both sides just left quietly.

But soon, a thought flashed through An Ke's mind.

He immediately spoke to the Giant Centipedes that were about to escape:

"Wait a moment."

An Ke's words made the Giant Centipedes' hearts tighten.

Why did that Two-legged Beast suddenly call out to them?

Could it be he changed his mind?

After communicating underground through special signals, the Giant Centipedes decided to ignore An Ke and continue escaping.

But An Ke's sneer rang out: "If you don't listen, don't blame me for digging three feet into the ground to hunt you all down."

These words from An Ke made the Giant Centipedes' hearts tremble.

Especially the two centipedes who were "old acquaintances" with An Ke; their hearts pounded wildly.

One Giant Centipede hurriedly whispered to those two:

"Does he have digging abilities?"

After a pause, it added: "The ability to burrow quickly?"

The Giant Centipedes' burrowing speed was extremely fast.

If the other side didn't have burrowing abilities, they couldn't catch them at all.

Before the two Giant Centipedes could answer, An Ke interrupted with a smile:

"If you think I don't, you're welcome to try."

"Of course! At that point, 'trying' will mean 'dying'."

"I will show absolutely no mercy."

"While I'm still planning to give you a chance, you'd better make the most of it."

Outside, in the livestream.

"By the way, does Boss An have powerful digging abilities?"

"It, it seems like he doesn't, right?"

"In the team, the only one with decent digging abilities is the Hamster."

"Then why is Boss An so confident?"

"He makes it sound so convincing that even I think Boss An has some powerful burrowing method."

"When you're out and about, you create your own persona."

"Hahaha! What the heck do you mean by 'creating your own persona'?"

"Will those Giant Centipedes believe it?"

"I don't think they will; after all, their burrowing ability is terrifying."

"As a veteran PhD in Physiology, I'm telling you clearly that there's a 70% chance the Giant Centipedes will believe him."

"Wait! Can psychology even be applied to animals?"

"Give them a break! They are animals in the [National Fortune Game], after all."

"..."

Just as those outside said.

In reality, An Ke didn't have any burrowing abilities.

None of the other animals in the team had burrowing abilities either, but what did it matter?

As long as the other side was suspicious, that was enough.

On the other side, the Giant Centipedes were noncommittal.

They looked at the other two Giant Centipedes that had dealt with An Ke and his group before.

As long as they said the other side didn't have powerful burrowing abilities.

They would leave without another word, burrowing away and not staying here any longer.

However, those two Giant Centipedes were filled with bitterness.

They couldn't be sure either.

In their understanding, the other side most likely didn't have it.

But what if he really did?

Then it would truly be a one-sided slaughter.

After pondering for a long while, the two Giant Centipedes looked at the beaming An Ke.

They felt the confidence radiating from him inside and out.

Finally, the mental defenses of these two Giant Centipedes were shattered.

One of them said in a heavy voice:

"What is your request?"

"If the request is too excessive, we will still leave without hesitation by burrowing away."

If they all scattered and fled, they didn't believe he could wipe them all out.

An Ke smiled; the pressure had worked.

"My request is simple: be our guides."

"Lead us to explore this entire cave."

These Giant Centipedes must have been in this cave for a long time and knew the terrain.

In that case, he definitely had to make good use of them.

Conveniently, there was a fork in the road ahead, so he'd let these Giant Centipedes lead the way.

To see which path was more suitable.

Hearing this, the Giant Centipedes all looked at each other.

Making this group of ancient predators be guides?

Don't they have any dignity?

Back in the day, they had fought back and forth with Tyrannosaurus Rexes; how could they be guides?

But soon, one of the Giant Centipedes thought of something.

It was suddenly overjoyed.

It quickly gathered its companions and began whispering to them.

As the group of Giant Centipedes whispered among themselves.

Eventually, all the Giant Centipedes agreed to An Ke's request for them to be guides.

To the side, Leopard Mom whispered to An Ke:

"Benefactor, I feel like there's a trap..."
