Upon hearing Lucius’s words, everyone instantly fell silent.

Since the other party was already moving towards them, the truth would soon be revealed whether they believed it or not.

If the other party was indeed a strange creature, they would kill him on the spot.

If the other party was a member of the Mage Association, they would expel Lucius from the team.

This was the consensus they had among the rest of the team members.

However, since Lucius had already mentioned this idea, they could not just wait for the other party to come over.

Lucius immediately said in a deep voice, “I think we should lie in ambush first to ensure we can kill the other party in one hit when he comes over!”

Logically speaking, Lucius’s plan was indeed the best solution.

The red-robed man smiled contemptuously.

“Lucious, you don’t have the right to command us here.

“Don’t even try to use your F-class strength to speculate our behavior.

“So what if the enemy’s really that scarecrow?

“We can just stand here and wait for him.”

Just as Lucius was about to retort, the other team members also ridiculed him.

“You’re just an F-class. We understand if you’re a little cowardly.

“However, I think it’s a little inappropriate to stand here and wait for the other party to come over.”

The red-robed man immediately understood and asked despite knowing the answer, “Oh? Then what do you think we should do?”

The few of them looked at each other and revealed a mocking smile.

“Of course, we should take the initiative to approach him.

“Just wait here? How long will we have to wait? What if the other party escapes?”

Hearing their words, Lucius choked on the spot and could not say a word.

After all, their strengths were displayed here.

Three D-class and one D+.

They felt somewhat arrogant facing a mere scarecrow.

However, Lucius still felt that they should not be so careless and underestimate the enemy.

After all, the opponent was a newly born strange creature who could easily kill two F-class members.

Moreover, one of them was Kai who had a 100% mission completion rate.

Lucius had a faint premonition in his heart.

If they were careless and underestimated the enemy now, this team would definitely suffer a great loss to the scarecrow.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to give the team leader a pleading look.

He hoped that the team leader could make a good decision here.

However, the team leader’s attitude disappointed him once again.

“I agree with your opinion. Let’s take the initiative to approach the scarecrow.”

“Team leader!” Lucius said anxiously.

However, the buzz-cut man touched his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, “It’s not that I’m underestimating the enemy. It’s just that the scarecrow’s at most an E-rank.

“If the enemy discovers that our strengths surpass his and runs away out of instinct, wouldn’t we have to spend more effort to find him?”

Lucius indeed could not refute this statement.

If he was a scarecrow and discovered such a D-rank squad was waiting for him, he would also choose to escape.

He would use his fastest speed to flee as far away as possible.

At that time, the mysterious trait about the scarecrow that could not be detected by the radar definitely increased the difficulty of their search by several times.

If the scarecrow really had the intelligence of an ordinary person, he would discover his tracks on the radar and abandon it.

Then, it would probably be harder to find his brother’s murderer than finding a needle in a haystack.

At this thought, Lucius could only helplessly agree.
