bookrandom Chapter 93 is incredibly accurate.
Chapter 93 is incredibly accurate.
Chen Fei lay on the grass, his mind racing. "Damn it," he thought, "who knows if this sound simulation is reliable? If it messes up and we get targeted by a pack of hyenas, that's no laughing matter."
He needs to find a low-risk testing opportunity.
The three-headed hyena scout team was just the right size, neither too big nor too small. In terms of combat power, taking down these three would be as easy as crushing three grasshoppers; they would have an overwhelming advantage. Even if the sound simulation went wrong, the worst-case scenario would be scaring them away, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control—a risk that was acceptable.
That's enough, let's just do it this way.
Chen Fei crouched low and circled around to the northwest of the eastern reconnaissance team's advance route. Spotting a clump of waist-high bushes, he quickly lay down, his belly pressed against the cool, refreshing grass—it felt incredibly comfortable. He immediately activated the system's aura camouflage function. Damn, this function was a lifesaver! Otherwise, his lion scent would have been detected by the hyenas' sensitive noses long ago, and now he'd be obediently waiting for them to come knocking on his door.
The reconnaissance team advanced steadily, without any sign of panic. The three hyenas maintained an isosceles triangle formation, with one at the front leading the way and the other two at the back, each with a clear division of labor. The one at the front had its nose almost touching the ground, constantly scanning and sniffing, while the two at the back took turns raising their heads to confirm the direction of their advance.
They're quite professional.
Chen Fei mentally reviewed the three hyenas' behavior patterns and had a clear understanding of their intentions. When advancing, they relied more on scent than sound. This meant that as long as the scent camouflage worked correctly, the sound simulation would be amplified. After all, since there were no threatening signals in their scent, they would likely trust the commands conveyed through sound more readily.
Using two functions together will definitely increase the success rate compared to using one function alone.
should be.
Chen Fei slowly narrowed the hot flow in his throat. The tightness spread from the middle of his throat to both ends. When it reached the end, a small vibration began to appear. The frequency was much higher than when he tested it yesterday. It was gathering momentum in his throat.
He didn't rush to speak out.
We have to wait until the reconnaissance team's advance reaches within thirty meters. This distance is perfect; the sound will travel with the clearest direction, without echo interference, maximizing its effectiveness.
Twenty-five meters.
It's now!
Chen Fei made a sound.
He was stunned for a moment when he came out.
It's not that there's a problem, it's that it's damn accurate!
The call was exactly the same rhythm as the slashing forward's probing call: high-frequency, short, with each call spaced exactly two seconds apart, and it also had a sense of direction, veering to the right, pointing precisely to the southeast side of the Wanderers' defensive zone.
He could clearly feel that the path of the heat flow in his throat matched perfectly with the test results yesterday, without the slightest deviation—it was the same path, the same frequency. He compared this sound in his mind with the calls of hyena vanguards that he had recorded on-site over the past twenty days.
It's exactly the same!
They're not just similar, they're completely cut from the same mold.
Chen Fei lay prone behind the bushes, listening to himself make a hyena-like sound. It took him half a second to realize, "Damn, I've learned to call like a hyena!"
Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to the reconnaissance team.
The hyena at the front suddenly lifted its nose off the ground, scanning its surroundings warily. It didn't smell anything unusual, but it clearly heard the cry. Its head first turned towards the direction of the sound, then turned again, immediately turning towards the area where the stray hyenas were guarding, clearly hesitant.
Two seconds later, the two hyenas in the back row also raised their heads, their eyes fixed on the same spot.
The three hyenas exchanged a few short, low-frequency calls, a coded signal among themselves to confirm their direction.
Then, the hyena at the front took the lead and headed towards the area where the stray armor guarded, with the two hyenas at the back following closely behind.
Become!
Chen Fei slowed his breathing behind the bushes, his heart pounding, watching the route of the three-headed reconnaissance team slowly shift northeastward, little by little, until it was forty meters away from the position of the wandering A.
The wandering armor has moved!
It stood up directly from the shady side of the rock, its entire massive body outline fully exposed to the reconnaissance team's view, while letting out a low, angry roar that shook the surrounding grass.
The three-headed scout squad's formation instantly crumbled. The lead hyena slammed to a halt, and the two behind, unable to stop in time, crashed into it, piling up on top of each other. Immediately afterward, the three hyenas scurried southward in a panic, nearly twice as fast as they had come, completely deviating from their original course and veering southwest. This direction conveniently bypassed the scouts' position to the due south; once they returned, they would undoubtedly report what had happened on the east side to the slit-mouthed hyena.
Chen Fei lay prone behind the bushes, watching them disappear into the grass on the southeast side, and breathed a sigh of relief.
They kept calling as they ran; it was a stress-induced call, sharp, short, and dense, exactly the same call they made when the slit-mouthed group was scattered.
Chen Fei noted this detail down: the real stress cry and the forward cry he had just made both used the same laryngeal narrowing path; the only difference was that one was actively produced and the other was a passive response. He needed to save this discovery to his sound simulation experience database; it might come in handy in the future.

It rose by 13 points!
The settlement of moderate interference events, coupled with the bonus from the first practical application of sound simulation, is quite good.
We are 19 points away from 1000 points.
Chen Fei put his aura disguise back into standby mode, stood up from behind the bushes, and walked towards his landing spot.
The reconnaissance team heading south came to a complete halt after the incident on the east side, remaining motionless. After about ten minutes, they also began to retreat along the same route.
The attack from the southwest was a feint from the start, and Chen Fei didn't even bother with it; they were a bunch of useless trash.
From afar, you can see Big Head squatting on the southern edge of the landing spot, his eyes fixed on the direction he came from from the east, like a silly dog waiting for its owner to come home.
As soon as Chen Fei disappeared into the bushes, Big Head immediately came over, sniffing him all over. It caught the scent of the bushes to the east, as well as the lingering stench of hyenas. Then it tilted its head back, ears perked up, and looked eastward, as if trying to confirm what had just happened there.
Chen Fei swept his tail across Big Head's head, the meaning was clear: It's all over, everything's taken care of.
Big Head immediately lowered his ears, scooted closer to Chen Fei, then turned and walked into the bushes. After taking a couple of steps, he looked back at Chen Fei. Chen Fei immediately understood his look: You go work on the east side, Chen Fei will stay here and keep watch. We're working well together, both of us are doing great.
Chen Fei watched Da Tou's back disappear into the bushes, then stopped and stood for a while on the southern edge of the spot, pondering something.
Today, the Split Mouth changed its tactics. The main force on the east side was pushed back by the Wanderer Armor, the feint attack on the south side retreated, and the southwest side didn't even trigger.
All three reconnaissance missions failed.
However, these three routes were all reconnaissance missions, not a formal attack. For Kuchiki, the failure of the reconnaissance only resulted in the loss of some intelligence, without any loss of combat power, so it wasn't a big problem.
If that guy with the split mouth comes again, he'll definitely try a different approach next time.
This is a learning adversary; each failure provides it with new information, allowing it to adjust its strategy for the next attempt. Crucially, it has fifty hyenas under its command—fifty! The cost of trial and error here is far greater than here.
Chen Fei pondered the matter repeatedly in his mind, without rushing to a conclusion.
The wind was calm on the south side, and the chilling breath lingered south of the ridgeline.
