Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 234: Evacuation Strategy

Thinking of this, Bai Hao immediately shouted to the exploration team: "Everyone, such a strange situation is beyond our ability. My suggestion is to return to land and regroup first!"

Bai Hao's words immediately caused quite a stir in the crowd. Most people agreed with Bai Hao's proposal. Of course, there were also people who shared the same idea as Duke Krey.

"Yes, the mysterious existence here can even wipe out the great magician class at will!"

"Viscount Campbell is right! Let's retreat first..."

Zelianus frowned and said, "Regroup? I don't think we can organize a stronger exploration team than we have now..."

Another knight beside Zelianus also said: "It seems that going back now is just a waste of precious time. Viscount Campbell also said that the longer time passes, the more severe the influence of this mystery will be."

While everyone was talking, Bai Hao carefully observed the centipede clinging to everyone. When he loudly suggested to evacuate, the centipede's body shook noticeably.

The flat scarlet body became more tightly entangled as everyone began to retreat, and Bai Hao's heart was in his throat, but so far this was still in his plan.

"call"

Bai Hao let out a light breath and subconsciously held Youla's hand tightly. This was not a sign of fear, but because Bai Hao really needed Youla's luck support.

Bai Hao was almost certain that this giant centipede could definitely understand what they were saying, and it did not want the exploration team's food to leave this place.

Seeing the centipede's body twisting more and more violently, Bai Hao hurriedly said loudly: "My idea is to return to the land and immediately organize an exploration team of more than a thousand high-level mages, including..."

As Bai Hao spoke, he kept watching the changes in the centipede's body. Now was the most important step in the evacuation plan. If successful, the exploration team would be able to leave this place safely.

Sure enough, when the centipede heard that the exploration team would have to organize hundreds of times more people to come down again immediately after returning to land, its body became obviously more excited, and the frequency of the wriggling of its body segments and the shaking of its hooked thin legs became more intense.

Upon hearing this, Zelianus immediately asked in confusion: "But wasn't it the result of the previous meeting that the fewer people the better? A simple and efficient exploration team can better solve the troubles at the bottom of the abyss..."

"Yes! I still remember that it was you, Viscount Campbell, who proposed this suggestion!" a knight echoed.

Some scholars even said directly: "I think we should just leave here. I don't want to go back to this damn place again!"

"At worst, we can just move Kled County to a place far away from the abyss."

"This mysterious influence seems to be limited to a small area. As long as we can stay away from the abyss..."

The direction of discussion among the exploration team gradually became strange. Most people not only agreed to retreat immediately, but even thought that they should stay away from the abyss as soon as they returned to the top.

Bai Hao secretly thought that this was not good. This group of scholars did not know that at this moment there was a centipede that could understand human language waiting for an opportunity beside them. Their food had to leave and they had to take other food away from the abyss with them. How could this centipede agree?

The centipede's body began to wrap around everyone's bodies more aggressively, and the huge centipede head on the bank of the underground river also began to crawl towards everyone.

Seeing this, Bai Hao immediately exclaimed loudly: "No! Absolutely not!"

When everyone in the exploration team saw Bai Hao's sudden and fierce roar, they were stunned for a moment, and then everyone looked at Bai Hao with confusion.

At this moment, the huge centipede head had already crawled to Bai Hao's side. Its two slender and soft tentacles gently touched Bai Hao's forehead, and many whiplash brushed across Bai Hao's face.

Such a close and intimate contact allowed Bai Hao to clearly see the centipede's extremely ugly and disgusting mouthparts. Countless white fangs were constantly shaking with light green mucus.

Fortunately, Bai Hao could only feel the visual impact, and he had no feeling of smell or touch. But this still did not prevent him from getting goose bumps all over his body.

Bai Hao suppressed his nausea and said firmly, "The terrible influence produced in the depths of the abyss will definitely continue to spread in the future. It may not take long before it covers the entire Kled Territory!"

"Not only that, if we just keep running away and compromising, one day, the terrible influence of the abyss will spread to the entire Swart Empire, and even the entire Central Plains! By then, it will be an irreversible disaster!"

"Now is the best time for us to resolve the disaster in the abyss. Because of the revelation of the Moon Goddess, we were able to discover the disaster as soon as it occurred and have the opportunity to deal with it. You must not let the gods down!"

Bai Hao's momentum continued to rise. He spread his arms and shouted to the thoughtful exploration team: "Therefore, after we return to the land, we must organize thousands of mages to come back here again and completely eliminate this mysterious existence!"

"Although a knight just died, we haven't suffered any second casualties so far. So I guess that although this mysterious entity can kill high-level mages in seconds, its attack speed is extremely slow!"

"So if it's an exploration team of thousands of people, we will have plenty of time to explore the bottom of the abyss. Even though many people may die, this is a great adventure that will benefit the entire empire and even the world!"

Bai Hao's alarmist words easily intimidated everyone in the exploration team. Although these words had no basis, Bai Hao's performance so far seemed extremely reliable.

In addition, Bai Hao had recently defeated the terrifyingly powerful Dr. Jia through the Miracle of Bright Moon, traced back the entire Kled Territory, and saved hundreds of thousands of civilians. All these things made Bai Hao's prestige extremely high.

The strongest combat force at present is basically Bai Hao, who has four elementals. This is why, although Bai Hao is only a viscount of a foreign country who is less than thirteen years old, his voice in the meeting is no weaker than that of Duke Krey.

The scholar who had previously suggested staying away from the abyss immediately said, "Oh, please forgive my cowardice. Please count me in the next thousand-man exploration team!"

"I will definitely participate! I will also bring my people with me!"

"Viscount Campbell is right. We can't just run away..."

Many knights were so excited that they said, "Hmph! Let these mysterious beings see how powerful we land creatures are!"

Bai Hao did not listen to the responses from the exploration team, because his attention was now entirely on the terrible centipede. The passionate words he had just spoken were not only for everyone to hear, but also for this centipede.

After a while, the centipede head retreated to the bank of the underground river with its tentacles shaking, and the segments of its body that were wrapped around everyone gradually loosened.

Although Bai Hao had a blank expression on his face, he was ecstatic deep down in his heart. Bai Hao won the bet. He bet that the centipede could understand human language, and he bet that the centipede would be greedy.

And now, Centipede will let the exploration team of dozens of people including Bai Hao leave here, and look forward to the exploration team of a thousand people formed by Bai Hao and others to come to the abyss again.

Rather than a few dozen people who are not enough to fill its teeth, the centipede prefers a feast of thousands of people.
