906: Chapter 154: Surviving Death 906: Chapter 154: Surviving Death In the Lost World, Jiang Wang maintained sufficient caution.
If soone knew that these sea beasts were controlled by Jiang Wang, conventional wisdom would suggest that the beasts should disperse with Jiang Wang at the center to maximize the field of vision.
However, if one considers the range of these sea beasts as a circle, Jiang Wang was not at the center but slightly to the side.
This was intentional, to avoid soone deducing his hiding place based on the positions of the sea beasts.
Jiang Wang imdiately dispersed the Soul Stealth Snake, liberating the sea beasts and abandoning his own established field of vision, thereby causing the hunters to lose their point of reference.
Of course, these hunters had already morized the area before making a move.
But at least for now, everyone was in a fog within this area.
Given the roaming range previously covered by the sea beasts, this was approximately a hundred-mile radius.
The current situation found Jiang Wang alone in such a wilderness, facing the hunt of more than six mbers of the Sea Clan.
Apart from that sharp-faced mber of the Sea Clan, he currently had no knowledge of the capabilities of any other.
But they were at least of Commander level, since Jiang Wang had already demonstrated the power to instantaneously kill early-stage Commander-level mbers of the Sea Clan, and those below this level couldn’t pose any trouble or necessitate a battle.
Perhaps so innately gifted Battle General level mbers of the Sea Clan might also participate in this kind of battle, but their strength could be considered on par with that of Commander-level mbers of the Sea Clan.
Of course, the possibility of Battle General level mbers of the Sea Clan joining forces for battle couldn’t be completely ruled out, although it was extrely unlikely.
Another variable was that this place was a wilderness, and warriors of both the Human Race and the Sea Clan could potentially pass through.
But Jiang Wang did not anticipate any variables.
Considering the power disparity between the Human Race and the Sea Clan in the Dingwei region, the likelihood of the opponent encountering reinforcents was significantly higher than his own.
At that mont, Jiang Wang, draped in Hidden clothes, was tucked in a depression of a huge boulder, motionless.
He surveyed the situation within a fifty-mile radius solely through the Red Mirror.
His thod of concealnt was deliberate; first, the depression was naturally occurring on the rock, and he had made no alterations, thus leaving no traces that could be detected.
Secondly, he did not use the Mirage Pearl to hide himself, in order to avoid detection by any opponent sensitive to illusions, who could perceive the fluctuations of the Mirage Pearl’s illusions.
The Hidden clothes were flawless and emitted no Dao Technique waves, a treasure for concealnt so good that even Yin Guan praised it repeatedly.
Undetectable by Outer Tower Cultivators, it would presumably be the sa for Commander-level mbers of the Sea Clan.
Of course, preparations with Chasing Wind’s Secret and the Technique Introducer in Green Cloud Pavilion had already been made, to break out and flee at a mont’s notice should he be detected beforehand—albeit, the chances of a successful escape were very slim.
The opponent was very patient and also very ticulous.
It was not until four hours later that Jiang Wang, using the Red Mirror, detected traces of the Sea Clan.
This indicated that they had locked down the rough area right from the start and then searched from the outside in, bit by bit, to this point.
Otherwise, they would not have taken so much ti to reach this location.
These mbers of the Sea Clan varied in height, build, and either had scales or shells as distinguishing features of the Sea Clan.
Aside from that, they showed no significant differences from the Human Race.
One, two, three…
in the end, he discovered that there were nine mbers of the Sea Clan in total!
The initial destruction of six sea beasts was clearly a trap set by the opponent, ant to make him believe there were only six of them and thus leading to misjudgnt and poor decisions.
The Red Mirror clearly reflected their activities.
The nine mbers of the Sea Clan each used their thods, ticulously searching inch by inch.
This was the reason their progress was so slow.
They were ensuring that every inch of space was uninhabited.
Clearly, the opponents were certain that Jiang Wang was within this range.
This was a continuously shrinking range.
Tension-inducing!
At this mont, Jiang Wang realized he might have made a mistake by imdiately dispersing the Soul Stealth Snake, even though it montarily made the opponents lose an accurate marker of his position, it had also confird his presence in the area, and that he had not escaped.
That’s why there was this extrely ti-consuming and energy-draining search of every inch of space!
Even the Hidden clothes couldn’t block such an extensive search.
The Hidden clothes could deceive the senses but could not literally make him disappear.
Hiding sowhere and breaking out unnoticed was clearly no longer viable, as his location would definitely not be overlooked.
Jiang Wang didn’t know that his choice was actually correct.
If he had allowed Yu Wangu to obtain more information in the sea beast blood, it would have been even more disadvantageous for him.
However, Jiang Wang never denied himself; a single misstep did not signify a lost cause.
The more critical the situation beca, the more calm and rational he was.
The Red Mirror was a precious treasure that allowed him to observe his opponents more ticulously without them knowing.
Especially since this group of opponents was now ticulously combing through the space inch by inch, giving Jiang Wang more ti to understand them.
Even though it was just an application of searching ability, it was enough for Jiang Wang to ascertain their strength levels.
It wasn’t the best outco, not having eight Battle General Level mbers of the Sea Clan forming a battle array to follow that sharp-faced Sea Clan mber.
Nor was it the worst outco.
Among these nine Sea Clan mbers, there was none stronger than the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber.
All of them were just at the initial stage of Commander-level Sea Clan, obviously led by the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber by his command.
Thus, it seed that this sharp-faced Sea Clan mber’s identity was extraordinary.
Think about it, an Outer Tower Cultivator commanding eight others; if not holding a high position or coming from a prominent background, how could that be possible?
Jiang Wang calmly thought it through.
He absolutely couldn’t keep waiting forever, because sooner or later the opponents would search this place and find him.
He couldn’t sit idly and wait, nor could he face the battle passively.
Even though all nine were at the initial Commander level, a collective strike would be enough to kill him in a single encounter, let alone the fact that among them was the much stronger sharp-faced Sea Clan mber.
He had no other choice, he had to make the first move.
And he definitely needed to kill the strongest among these Sea Clan – the sharp-faced one first in the shortest ti, to stand a chance of survival.
This was very difficult, but it had to be done.
If he succeeded, there might be a chance to live.
If not, he would die.
So, how could he achieve this?
Previously, the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber had killed thirty-eight sea beasts he controlled in various ways.
He had also observed the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber thirty-eight tis through the Soul Stealth Snake and just now, had watched him closely through the Red Mirror.
Compared to the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber’s understanding of him, he believed he understood the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber more.
For example, his strength was at the interdiate Commander level, between the third and fourth stages of Outer Tower Cultivators.
For instance, his innate divine ability related to blood control; in a battle with him, Jiang Wang should lock his own blood and infuse Path Origin into every drop to counter the opponent’s will and avoid his own blood becoming an accomplice to the opponent.
But what hidden tricks did he have?
What life-saving tricks were up his sleeve?
Those were unknown.
Therefore, once he made a move, it had to be swift and forceful, ensuring the destruction of all the opponent’s resistance and giving him no chance to respond!
Jiang Wang silently calculated and likewise silently waited.
Luckily, the sharp-faced Sea Clan mber was not very far from the huge rock where he was hiding.
Unfortunately, another Sea Clan mber was closer.
Following a normal sequence, this huge rock would likely be checked by the other Sea Clan mber first.
What should he do?
Hold his breath!
