Chapter 37: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West

"Monsters?!" Lu Linhai frowned and asked, "Have those damn ugly monsters found us?"

Zhou Yun held Zhou Kai's hand tightly. Although she didn't say anything, she was a little nervous.

Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "Not yet. Judging from the current location of these monsters, they are scattered."

"They should be searching the mountain." Zhou Kai looked around and continued.

"However, there are monsters on almost all the ways down the mountain. If we go down directly, we will definitely encounter them."

"It's no use hiding here. These monsters will find us sooner or later."

"I didn't expect them to find here so quickly." Lu Linhai said with gritted teeth.

"Their speed is slow." Lin Yi roughly calculated it in his mind and said.

"According to normal speed, these monsters should have started searching Sifang Mountain a few days ago."

"The reason they started searching here so late may be to avoid arousing suspicion from other humans in the city, so they chose to search the mountain at night."

Lin Yi thought for a while and continued: "Besides, they should search very carefully, so the search speed will be slowed down."

"No matter how fast or slow they are, since we have encountered them, we will fight them and kill our way out!" Lu Linhai showed a solemn expression, as if he was ready to fight the monsters at any time.

"Fighting for nothing!" Zhou Kai glared at him and said, "Do you know how many monsters are entering the mountain now? You're still 'fighting your way out', but I think we're 'being killed into a pool of meat paste'."

"Why are you so ambitious and destroying your own prestige?" Lu Linhai curled his lips and said aggrievedly, "Which side are you on?"

"What Zhou Kai said is right." Lin Yi explained, "It's night now, and we're in the mountains, and there are more monsters than us. The time, the place, the people, and the monsters have it all."

"If we confront them head-on, even if we have Uncle An, the result will not be ideal."

"I'll lead them away." The bone-chopping knife flew out of the bag and was held in An Chengdao's hand, "When they come after me, you take the opportunity to go down the mountain."

"What will you do, Uncle An?" Zhou Yun asked worriedly.

"No, Uncle An can't go alone." Lu Linhai said, "It's too dangerous. I'll go with Uncle An. We've been training for so long, I should be able to help."

Lin Yi frowned and thought about it. If An Chengdao led the monsters away, they could indeed go down the mountain smoothly.

However, facing a large number of monsters, what should An Chengdao do after leading the monsters away?

Abandon An Chengdao and ignore him?

Lin Yi couldn't do it.

So, he quickly thought of a way to lead the monsters away and let everyone go down the mountain safely.

"No need to be so troublesome." Lin Yi raised his head and said, "I have a good idea."

"What is it?" Zhou Kai asked.

"We will make a feint to the east and attack the west for these monsters."

"Is there any difference between this and what Uncle An said?" Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment.

"Of course there is a difference." Lin Yi continued to explain, "We don't have to attract the monsters into the mountain ourselves, but set fire to the mountain for them."

"Set fire to the mountain?!" Lu Linhai was a little surprised.

An Chengdao frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea."

The monsters that Zhou Kai sensed were scattered on almost every road down the mountain.

Even if An Chengdao tried to attract the monsters' attention, he might not be able to attract all the monsters in all places.

Although Zhou Kai's ability could sense the location of the monsters, it could not guarantee that Lin Yi and others could successfully avoid all the monsters and leave Sifang Mountain safely.

For example, they chose a way down the mountain, but when they were halfway there, they found that a monster was about to enter the mountain.

They wanted to go back and choose a new way down the mountain, but found that there were also monsters on the road behind them.

In this way, they were caught in a dilemma.

However, it was different to prevent fire from burning the mountain.

After the flames burned, they were much more conspicuous than An Chengdao acting alone. Once the fire grew, all the monsters on the mountain could see it.

"But how can you guarantee that these monsters will definitely rush to the place where the fire spreads?" Lu Linhai asked.

"Because these monsters have to maintain human habits." Lin Yi replied.

"Although most of the monsters in this city are monsters, there are also humans. In order to prevent these humans from discovering the true face of the monsters, these monsters will definitely maintain human living habits."

"So, they will never let the fire spread, and it is not good for them."

"When the time comes, let Uncle An use his ability to create some chaos, and these monsters will definitely be fooled."

"Okay, just do what Lin Yi said." Lu Linhai nodded, eager to act.

"Zhou Kai's perception range is 1,000 meters, which means that those monsters are very close to us. We have to seize the time and catch them off guard."

"Take this." Three boning knives and a bloodletting knife flew out of An Chengdao's bag and fell into the hands of Lin Yi and the other four.

"Although we have to set fire, we can't act together." An Chengdao glanced at the distance and continued, "I know where the bushes are most likely to burn, I can go alone."

"Uncle An, you——" Lin Yi was worried that An Chengdao would act alone.

"You can't help me even if you follow me." An Chengdao interrupted Lin Yi.

"Don't worry, I will do it according to your method and will not confront those monsters head-on."

"You find a place to hide first, and when the fire starts, find a chance to go down the mountain."

"I will catch up with you. Although I can't sense your location, my knife is in your hands, and I can find you by controlling the knife."

"Uncle An, I'd better go with you." Lu Linhai clenched the knife in his hand.

"I didn't discuss it with you." An Chengdao said firmly.

"You know how troublesome those monsters are, so the three of you must stay together."

"If you encounter a monster, the three of you will not be killed by the monster if you attack together. Only in this way can you protect little Zhou Yun and go down the mountain smoothly."

Lin Yi frowned, although he was worried, he nodded: "Uncle An, you must be careful."

Zhou Kai looked at Zhou Yun beside him and said nothing more.

"Uncle An, we are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain, you must come down." Lu Linhai said.

After speaking, An Chengdao turned and left.

Lin Yi and the others quickly found a place to hide. With Zhou Kai there, they would not be discovered by the monsters immediately.

Soon, there was a fire on Sifang Mountain.

The fire spread quickly, and just as Lin Yi planned, the monsters on the mountain quickly rushed to the place where the fire started.

"The monsters on this road are gone." Seeing the monsters leave, Zhou Kai whispered.

"Let's go down the mountain." Lin Yi and the others quickly went down the mountain.

Seeing that they were about to leave Sifang Mountain, Zhou Kai's face suddenly sank, and he turned around and looked behind him, with a little panic in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi noticed Zhou Kai's expression.

"There is a monster... coming towards us!"
