After losing contact with Hua Yang, Huang Er was certain they were being hunted. She immediately informed everyone to gather. With three members missing, they were down to seven people.
On Huang Zhan's side, he no longer asked his Mystic Stage followers to attack once they spotted the enemy. Instead, the Mystic Stage follower who spotted the enemy was tasked to shadow the target until he or Da Niu arrived. The two of them were the executioners, while the rest acted as scouts. They remained spread out to look for other targets.
In this way, he reduced the chance of having an enemy sneak away with the key. Last time, he had only one member searching for the missing enemy member. That's how Huang San managed to flee. He wasn't going to repeat the same mistake, not when they had better battle power.
With this setup, Huang Zhan soon received an update. Yong Kang had spotted the enemies. They were in a group.
"How many people?" Huang Zhan asked.
"Five," Yong Kang answered.
