Gu Shenwei believed that this was all a simple game of pointing out the walnut hidden underneath one of three cups. The game's schemer must have wanted to lure a target into appearing, but now, it seemed that the prey was following the scent so quickly that it was probably beyond the hunter's imagination and ability to overcome.
Five golden roc killers and five teenage killers had followed the Dragon King's order to explore this area before the second night-watch period. Afterwards, Gu Shenwei found them one by one and carefully listened to their reports. He had learned that there were at least seven groups of people hiding in the grass outside the field of the contest. There were seventy or eighty people in total, but the number varied from group to group.
Gu Shenwei ordered the killers to retreat several miles to set up an ambush at two places that he had chosen while he himself would try to approach the trap alone.
