Han Lang's deliberate words before falling off the cliff still echoed in everyone's ears. At this moment, apart from Liu Xiao, who had some premonition, everyone else had not fully grasped the situation.
However, with Han Lang's fall, Liu Xiao and the other four were about to face the attacks of two X-class ability users.
In this process, they were certainly no match for them.
What's more, at this moment, Tang Geng's mind was repeatedly filled with Han Lang's meaningful gaze before his fall, making him completely distracted.
This made Ma Long anxious, and he couldn't help but shout.
"Tang Geng, what are you doing? Focus!"
Ma Long's rough shout finally pulled Tang Geng back to reality.
But Tang Geng ignored him and went to Liu Xiao's side, saying softly.
"I think something is wrong, Political Commissar Liu. Han Lang and Deputy Officer Shan's tone and expression were a bit off when they fell off the cliff!"
Liu Xiao had already understood the intentions of Deputy Officer Shan and Han Lang. While continuing to resist, she smiled leisurely.
"In our team, you are the one with the quickest mind. Do you still remember what instructions Deputy Officer Shan gave us before the battle?"
Tang Geng's mind flashed with inspiration upon hearing this.
"To lose, not to win?"
Liu Xiao's smile deepened.
Tang Geng also completely confirmed his guess.
"Then... what do we do now? Ma Long and Tang Qin don't seem to have reacted yet!"
Thinking of this, Tang Geng couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
If they also pretended to be weak and fell off the cliff like Han Lang, what if Ma Long and Tang Qin didn't react in time, wouldn't they die here?
Just as he was full of worry, Liu Xiao suddenly shouted.
"Everyone converge on me, fight with all your might, and break through the encirclement!"
Tang Qin and Zhao Wu, who were unaware of the situation, as well as Ma Long, quickly converged.
The moment they approached, Liu Xiao also hurriedly whispered.
"Don't forget, in this battle, we must lose, not win!"
Tang Qin and the others were first slightly surprised by these words.
However, they soon recalled Han Lang's deliberate words before his fall.
In an instant, Tang Qin and Zhao Wu also reacted.
This was most likely Shan Nan's stratagem of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind"!
But Ma Long was still confused and even asked without hesitation.
"Why? Little Sir and Deputy Officer Shan have already died in battle, don't we have to avenge them?"
Hearing this, everyone wished they could erupt and give Ma Long, this blockhead, a heavy blow.
Tang Qin even cursed softly.
"Idiot! What cultivation level does Deputy Officer Shan have that he needs us to avenge him? Think with your rotten brain, do you think Han Lang and Deputy Officer Shan can be defeated so easily?"
Being scolded like this, Ma Long finally reacted.
"You mean, this is a plan?"
Tang Qin had no time to explain and immediately cooperated with Liu Xiao to block an offensive from the ability user, then said.
"Find a way to retreat!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Geng was seized by Allen, who found a flaw, and was sent flying with a punch, falling off the cliff.
With Tang Geng's retreat, everyone seemed to be defeated like a collapsing mountain, and they were all sent flying by the two ability users, falling towards the bottom of the cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff, in the deep pool, Han Lang and Shan Nan's heads emerged slightly. Seeing everyone falling one by one, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly made a gesture for everyone to dive into the depths of the lake and retreat westward.
Liu Xiao and the others instantly understood and stopped controlling their bodies, like a golden needle, they plunged into the water with a "plop."
On the other side, Allen and Smith were still gloating over their achievements.
Smith, having fought Han Lang and his group for the first time, was full of disdain for their strength.
"It seems that the fact that these few Xia Kingdom cultivators destroyed the Doctor's base was just a coincidence. Their strength is simply no match for us!"
"Haha... Isn't that because your strength is too great, Smith! You know, back then, Gou Tuizhi and I couldn't stop them even with all our might!"
Allen flattered while walking to the edge of the cliff to look down.
He expected to see the corpses of Han Lang and the others floating haphazardly on the surface of the water below the cliff, but he did not expect the water surface to be completely clean.
Apart from the ripples caused by the waterfall, there was no trace of any of Han Lang's group anywhere!
"Not good! We've been tricked!"
Allen was greatly alarmed and quickly said to Smith.
"There are no bodies at the bottom of the cliff, they just want to use this opportunity to escape!"
Hearing this, Smith was also greatly alarmed and quickly went to check.
Upon seeing this, even he couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it! These Xia Kingdom people are too cunning! Let's hurry down and don't let them escape!"
After speaking, he leaped down and hovered above the lake, carefully searching.
Allen followed him down, complaining.
"I knew it! There are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage among these people. Even if they can't defeat us, they wouldn't be defeated so easily!"
Smith was agitated at this moment, and he roared.
"Enough! Stop talking, hurry up and search! Have Gou Tuizhi bring all the SS-class ability users down and surround this water area!"
Soon, under their arrangement, Gou Tuizhi arrived with the SS-class ability users.
They quickly spread out according to Smith's request, intending to surround this water area.
However, they soon discovered a problem.
"It's no use, Lord Smith. This water area is too vast, and there are many small islands. It's difficult for us to complete the encirclement! Even if we do, our vision will be greatly limited by these small islands!"
Hearing this, Smith became even more annoyed.
"That won't do either! They fell not long ago, and even if they ran, they couldn't have gone far. Think of a way, even if it's just searching around the water area, we must not let them escape back to the Xia Kingdom!"
After speaking, he himself plunged directly into the water, trying to find Han Lang and the others underwater!
However, at this moment, where were Han Lang and the others in the water area below the waterfall!
Furious, Smith had to surface.
Allen quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
Smith shook his head. His mind raced quickly, and soon he said to Allen.
"Allen, immediately contact the Doctor and have him order the White Elephant Kingdom's army to go around to the other side of the dense forest, to the only path leading to the Xia Kingdom, and block it. We absolutely cannot let these Xia Kingdom people return to the Xia Kingdom easily!"
Allen did not dare to delay at this moment. He quickly flew up the cliff and returned to the helicopter, relaying Smith's order to Dr. Sim of the base.
When Dr. Sim received this news, he was furious.
But he did not hesitate and immediately called the commander of the White Elephant Kingdom, asking the army to immediately go to the north of the dense forest and set up defenses on the only path leading to the Xia Kingdom.
However, their actions were almost entirely under Shan Nan's control.
At this moment, Shan Nan, leading Han Lang and the others, had already swum underwater to the west of the lake, far from the waterfall.
Here was the silence unique to the dense forest.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he immediately led everyone ashore.
