I never upgrade

"Zulu Village is located on a terrain that slopes from north to south. It is bordered by the sea to the west and south, and only borders the forest to the north and east."

Last night, the monster came in from the east end of the village. If it comes again tonight, it will either continue to the east entrance of the village or climb over the fence from the forest to the north and sneak into the village.

So tonight, our patrol route will start and end at the north and east ends of the village. The three of us will patrol in shifts to ensure that the entire northeastern area of ​​the village is fully covered by our line of sight, without any blind spots.

At the same time, the western and southern areas should also be covered, but there's no need to constantly monitor them. I will tell Old Wu to have the patrolling villagers take care of these two areas as much as possible.

The junior brother nodded and asked, "Senior brother, if that demonic beast really appears, what should we do?"

Zhou Bo smiled calmly and said:

"It depends on the situation."

If we discover it before it gets close to the village, we shouldn't notify Old Wu and the others yet, so as not to alert it.

Lock onto its location, then quietly follow it, being careful not to be spotted. The three of us will try to surround it. You two will be responsible for the front, and I will be responsible for cutting off its rear. Once everyone is in position, listen to my orders and act accordingly.

This is the first scenario.

The second possibility is that the monster has already approached the village, or has simply slipped in.

Then the three of us must quickly surround it. I will be responsible for blocking it from the front, while the other two will be responsible for flanking it and restricting its movements as much as possible.

At that time, Zhang Yuan, you use [Palm Thunder], and Junior Sister Zhou uses [Gale Palm Wind]. The two of you should coordinate well to restrain that monster, not giving it a chance to escape, and also preventing it from getting close to either of you.

I will launch an attack from the front, forcing that monster to fight me. As long as the three of us cooperate well, we should be able to defeat this guy without taking any damage.

This is the second case.

The third, and worst, scenario is...

If we fail to avoid scenario one or two, and the monster breaks into the village, wreaks havoc, terrifies the villagers, and creates chaos, even spiraling out of control, then...

The three of us should not separate. Let's charge in together from the front and wipe out that monster as quickly as possible!

"At that time, don't hesitate, and don't worry about the villagers. Kill that monster as quickly as possible and minimize the danger and losses. Do you understand?"

Zhou Bo's junior brothers and sisters looked solemn. This time, they didn't agree so readily, but instead fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Zhou Bo smiled helplessly and joked:

"What's with your reaction? Don't you trust your senior brother?"

This really makes me so sad...

Although I am not ranked particularly high on the academy's "Heroic Rankings," going out to gain experience is different from climbing the rankings within the academy.

Within the academy, you and your competitors engage in one-on-one sparring matches, at least under conditions of openness, transparency, fairness, and impartiality. There are only winners and losers, not life or death. Moreover, there are academy instructors supervising on-site, and the academy's teaching rules and regulations governing the proceedings. No matter what happens, you can always seek redress and have the matter handled according to the rules.

However, outside, especially outside the city and outside the sphere of influence of the Celestials, there are no rules and regulations like those in the academy to restrain your enemies or protect your weakness.

Your enemy may be unscrupulous, ganging up on you with a dozen people, or they may be chatting and laughing with you one second and then suddenly attacking and killing you the next!

Therefore, when you are out and about, you will encounter all sorts of unexpected situations. Plans can never keep up with changes. As your senior, since I brought you out here, I must be responsible for your actions.

The reason I'm going to go through all these scenarios is so that when you actually encounter a crisis, you don't expect a mentor to stand up and shout "Stop!" just like you would in academia.

This is your first time going out for training, and you lack experience. If you encounter danger, I can protect you.

However, I cannot protect you forever. I have neither the obligation nor the strength. I just have more experience than you. Don't think that I am really better than you in everything.

I had someone investigate the incident of the wild beasts eating people in Charva Village. The Heavenly Guard gave it a rating of "extremely dangerous," not even "evil."

However, based on the various traces we've observed at the scene of the beast attack, the danger level of this ferocious beast is definitely more than just "fierce." Therefore, I must analyze it according to the worst-case scenario. The solutions I just mentioned are the optimal solutions under various circumstances.

My sole purpose is to ensure the safety of "people" to the greatest extent possible. This "people" includes not only you and me, but also ordinary citizens.

Only consider slaying the monster and rewarding the slain if your life is not in danger. Never take any risks beyond your capabilities in order to kill the monster.

As I just mentioned, the Heavenly Guardian only classifies the beast threat level as "Extremely Ferocious," so the corresponding kill reward will not exceed this range. Therefore, there is no need to take on risks far exceeding this level for such a small reward.

As long as we cooperate well and strictly follow the pre-determined plan, even if the monster is more dangerous than the current rating, and even if we are unlucky, we can at least escape unscathed and gain some experience.

If we're lucky, we might be able to take down this monster without any major incidents.

Therefore, the most crucial thing is to cooperate well and follow instructions. These two points are extremely important, and you must remember them firmly, understand?

Zhou Bo spoke at length, and although his two junior brothers and sisters still looked solemn, they felt a greater sense of affirmation.

Senior Brother Zhou is indeed a very responsible and good teacher. He has imparted his experience to me in great detail. All I can do now is to follow his instructions and cooperate with Senior Brother Zhou's actions.

Looking at Zhou Bo at this moment, the two junior brothers and sisters became even more convinced of their thoughts. They couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had met such a reliable and good leader as their senior brother on their first training trip.

The junior brother named Zhang Yuan, unable to contain his curiosity, asked:

"Senior brother, how exactly is the beast threat level you mentioned defined? Does this kind of situation frequently occur with the Heavenly Guard? That is, the actual situation doesn't match the assessed level?"

Zhou Bo listened, smiled, and said:

"No, almost never. At least in my memory, the Heavenly Guards would not make such a basic mistake, because underestimating the threat of wild beasts can be fatal."

This is an intelligence failure. A single piece of incorrect intelligence could lead to a misjudgment of the situation and potentially cause the deaths of many people. Even the Heavenly Guard cannot bear this responsibility.

Therefore, this situation generally does not occur.

However, the problem of wild animal infestation in Charva Village did indeed expose a loophole in the Sky Guard's rating system.
