After sending out the Stone Golems, Gu Xi did not rush his troops into action but chose to head back.
Scouting is not as simple a task as it seems.
There are two scenarios for them when scouting: one is to quickly sweep through, flying as far as possible, and the other is to search extensively, looking to see if there are any ambushes within their patrol range.
No matter the method of scouting, they won't return quickly.
There is no need for Gu Xi to wait around here; he wants to see how the cleanup of the previous battlefield is going.
Just as Gu Xi left, about ninety miles away from his troops' camp, a monkey with horns raised its head to look at the sky and then started chattering.
Hearing this sound, a Nidan over three meters tall swiftly emerged from nearby.
He was chewing a bloodied meat bone in his mouth.
"Damn it, they didn't attack directly?
Weren't they easy to trick at first?
How did they suddenly wise up?"
The horned monkey continued to chatter.
