"Because there is a more powerful and terrifying monster entrenched here." Just as Bran and other senior caravans were puzzled by the abnormal situation in the forest, Leo's voice came from the small room behind Bushan, and he explained.

After hearing Leo's words, everyone who was trapped in a blind spot of thinking also came to their senses. As Leo said, for those monsters who use instinctive beast nature as the benchmark for their actions, they can only escape the chassis they have occupied when they encounter more powerful and terrifying monsters.

"You'd better count the number of people." Leo reminded again when everyone's attention had not yet turned back from the news of the existence of terrifying monsters here.

Although Leo is just a stranger who temporarily joined the caravan, his outstanding temperament has long left a deep impression on the caravan's senior management. Just like Bran, others subconsciously believe that Leo is not an ordinary person, either a noble nobleman or an extraordinary person with powerful power.

Unlike Bran who thinks Leo is a big man with identity, the captain of the guards and hunter leaders in the caravan both rely on their experience to believe that Leo is an extraordinary person with powerful power, because only those with powerful power have the courage and ability to travel alone in this era of monsters.

No matter what image Leo is in the minds of these caravan seniors, his words will be valued by these people.

So when they heard Leo's reminder, even if they didn't understand Leo's meaning, they still chose to follow Leo's advice.

So a team of more than 500 meters long stopped moving forward under the command and stood on standby. The caravan guards took out weapons and entered alert according to previous rules and experience. The hunters as pathfinders also quickly returned to the caravan after hearing the instructive whistle of the hunter leader.

Then, the captains and low-level managers in charge of each team began to check the number of people in the caravan according to the roster in their hands. Although the caravan members were puzzled by this order, they still followed the instructions truthfully and stayed in place, waiting for the next order. The atmosphere of the caravan also became a little nervous from the relaxed atmosphere of not encountering any monster attacks.

Although the Fire Dancer Caravan is a large caravan, with a large number of people including logistics, because of the proper organization and detailed division of powers, the efficiency of doing any work is very efficient. Soon the total number of caravans was asked to point out, but the final result was not the result that everyone wanted to get, so everyone showed a look of worry on their faces.

Five people were missing in the caravan, two of whom were members of the Hunter Squad, two were caravan guards, and one was a servant in charge of logistics. The disappearance of someone was not the reason why the caravan's top leaders were worried. What really worried them was that these missing people did not exist in the memory of everyone in the caravan, but only existed in the roster.

The Fire Dancer Caravan has been doing business outside for many years, and the senior caravans are naturally experienced old people. They soon realized that the caravans had extraordinary power to participate in the disappearance of the caravans. The unknown existence who silently abducted the members of the caravans while robbing people, also erased the targets of the captives from the memories of the caravans, which made the senior caravans realize that someone had disappeared until just now.

Because such a thing has not happened before, the caravan's senior management can only adjust the caravan's marching queue according to the response plan compiled based on past experience.

The snake-like formation, which was originally mainly for fast travel, was retracted back, and the non-combatants in the caravan were arranged in the middle of the team, all the caravan guards were arranged around in preparation, and the hunter team was also recalled to the team, all arranged on the roof of the small house on Bushan, equipped with mechanical crossbows, acting as temporary mail towers and long-range strike forces.

In addition, Bran also activates several shaman spells arranged on Bushan for reconnaissance and alertness, and distributes the accompanying fruits to everyone in the caravan.

The function of these shaman spells is the same, which is to create a warning field. Any creature without fruit can be perceived by this warning field. At the same time, if the creature with fruit leaves the warning field, the domain will immediately send an alarm, and the fruit will burst, producing an extremely pungent smell and fluorescent fog that can be seen clearly in the dark.

This shaman spell can be said to be the most popular shaman spell on the Mosan continent. Because it is very simple and effective to cast, people will be willing to use this shaman spell to protect themselves even in places like the Holy City of the Lord of the Sky.

After arranging the caravan's alert and defense plan, Bran also asked Leo about his opinion. Leo could not help but hurt the other party's morale and did not express his true thoughts, but asked Bran to continue rushing.

Leo did not hide his thoughts, which made Bran easily see that Leo did not seem optimistic about the caravan's arrangements. However, although he saw Leo's real thoughts, he did not ask too much, except because he did not think there was something wrong with his arrangements, but also because he also had a little doubt about Leo.

This is not to mention that Bran really suspects that Leo is the unknown existence that caused the caravan members to disappear, but because when something happened to the caravan, as the caravan manager, he would instinctively doubt everything that could be suspected, even if Leo joined the caravan and was invited by him.

Under Bran's order, the caravan restarted and marched towards the destination along the winding and difficult mountain road. However, compared with the speed of the caravan before, the speed was reduced by nearly half. Therefore, those with a little experience in the caravan knew that it would be difficult for them to reach the campsite of the Kata Tribe before dark.

In the dark night, staying in the wild, even if I am not alone and there are many people around me, it still makes people feel instinctively afraid. This fear quickly spreads in the caravan, and the scene of talking and laughing on the road before disappeared, replaced by faces with solemn expressions.

Leo in the small house naturally saw a little bit of Bran's suspicion about him, and he didn't mind that, because if he was in Bran's current position, he would have made the same suspicion and even more excessive things.

What he is more concerned about now is the unknown existence that can still silently abduct caravan members and even modify his memory under the monitoring of his spiritual network.

When the caravan began to set off, Leo's spiritual network had already spread to the surrounding areas. Looking at the surrounding situation, he had not found any problems. It was not long ago when Bran mentioned that there were no monsters or ferocious beasts in the surrounding forest that he realized something was wrong.

Because unlike the top leaders of the caravan such as Bran, only put the alert objects on those ferocious beasts and monsters, Leo's spiritual network targets almost all creatures, including plants and insects, because if the mutation of the world affects humans and animals, plants and insects will definitely not be spared. Compared with the Viron and Minsk continents, the number of dangerous insects and plants hidden in the Mosan continent, which is still in a primeval forest state, is absolutely amazing.

According to the biology encyclopedia released by the Medical School, almost all of the world's most dangerous insects and plants are in the Mosan continent, and only the mysterious black forest in the entire Viron world can compare with it.

However, as the caravan walked along, Leo found that not only did not have a dangerous mutant insect in the surrounding primeval forest, but even the mutant plants hidden in normal trees in the forest shrank and did not dare to show any abnormalities.

This also made Leo make his previous judgment, believing that there might be a powerful and terrifying unknown existence hidden in the forest in this area, which scared all the mutated creatures in the forest. Those who can escape escaped from this forest, including insects, and those who cannot escape could only curl up to avoid being discovered by this mutated creature.

Later, Leo suggested counting the number of people because he found that there were fewer people in the caravan. When he set out, he asked for the number of people through the Spiritual Network. Just when he asked for it again, he found that there were five people missing. Like Bran and others, he also found that he did not have any relevant memories of these five people. He just judged that there were fewer people from the numbers, which meant that he was also attacked by unknown forces silently.

This was undoubtedly an incredible thing for Leo, because he knew very well that under the influence of various special forces on him, even higher life forms of Omega-level or gods could not tamper with his memory silently. However, the facts now tell him that an unknown existence did it, which made him unable to help guessing that this unknown existence is an existence beyond the gods.

However, this conjecture was immediately denied by Leo because it was obvious that if the other party was an existence beyond the gods, then there would definitely be a place in the churches of all countries in the world of Viron, especially the fanatical believers of the evil god church would be willing to be the food for their belief in gods, because it made them think that they and the gods had merged into one, and the other party did not need to hide secretly in the forest like this and hunt humans who entered their domain.

Leo, who was aroused by this unknown existence, did not feel that he would encounter any danger. Instead, he created some star areas that were just like playing games, which could use the other party to pass this boring time on the road.

So, when Bran and other caravan leaders began to arrange the caravan's alert and fortifications, Leo also arranged some spiritual power around the caravan, and also left a psychic mark on each caravan so that someone in the caravan would disappear again, and he could find the other party's position with the psychic mark.

In addition, he did not think that the unknown existence is still hiding in the forest and watching the caravan, waiting for the next attack. Instead, he felt that the unknown existence is probably hiding inside the caravan, either becoming a person in the caravan, or hiding in the caravan's caravan's caravan's caravan. In short, this unknown existence has deceived Bran and other caravan's senior management, and also made his spiritual network invalid, so all his arrangements are aimed at the caravan.

However, I don’t know if it was because the unknown existence had already known that the caravan had discovered an abnormality, or the various warning and defense fortifications of the caravan had worked, or if Leo’s arrangement made the unknown existence have no chance to start. In short, in the next journey, the caravan never disappeared again, nor did they encounter any danger. Instead, the act of stopping several times on the road to ask for a number of people made everyone’s nerves tense. Over time, everyone showed a tired look.

However, there are naturally gains and losses. Although the hidden unknown existence made the entire caravan exhausted, the caravan was not attacked at the same time. Even in the forest after dark, no monsters attacked them. Even the abnormal situation was so unlucky that even the people who were slow could feel something was wrong, so the atmosphere in the caravan was even more tense than during the day.

Because the caravan slowed down the speed of travel, they were still a long distance from the Kata Tribe camp until dark, as Bran and others estimated, but they did not stop moving as normal procedures and camped on the spot, but instead continued to move in the forest mountain road that was more dangerous in the dark.

This decision was actually suggested by Leo. The caravan's senior management discussed after dark whether to stop and camp. Although Bran was a little suspicious of Leo, because it was an abnormal situation that Leo discovered before, he also attached great importance to Leo's suggestions. The advice given by Leo was completely different from the decision made by the caravan's senior management, that is, to move forward.

As for the explanation given by Leo, it is very simple. After the caravan stayed and set up camp, the alert and fortifications arranged would not be much better than now. Moreover, because camping was to set up, the current formation and entire arrangement would also be dismantled, and the shaman spells would naturally be temporarily removed, which would expose the entire caravan to danger.

Instead of doing such thankless things, it is better to continue on the road and go to the campsite of the Kata Tribe. As for the only danger you may encounter on the road, that is, it is difficult to walk on the mountain road. The monster attack that the caravan needs to worry about the most is no longer threatening the caravan walking in the forest at night due to the influence of that unknown existence.

As Leo said, the caravan had only a few minor accidents in a few narrow mountain roads and never encountered any major dangers again. Until the caravan arrived at the campsite of the Kata tribe, he was not attacked by monsters, and the unknown existence did not appear.
