I am a Scarecrow and the Demon Lord of Terror!

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.

Seeing this, the red-robed man touched his fists and sneered again, “It’s good that you understand. From now on, you can hide at the back and watch my performance.”

“That’s enough.” The leader looked at the red-robed man coldly. “Suo, you’d better stop talking. No matter what, he’s also a member of the Mage Association.”

The buzz-cut leader’s words seemed to hold a lot of authority in the team.

The red-robed man, Suo, immediately kept quiet and did not speak again.

The other team members did the same and kept their mouths shut.

The buzz-cut leader glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.

“In that case, let’s go meet this guy and see if he’s a human or a ghost.”

“Let’s go!”

…

Along the forest path, Flanders hummed a song as he walked forward slowly. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

He was fiddling with a prototype radar in his hand.

After gently pressing the button twice, Flanders looked ahead and sneered, “The Mage Association really put in a lot of effort this time. They actually sent five people over.”

That’s right, the five-man team had discovered Flanders.

Flanders had also discovered them.

This was also the reason Flanders took the initiative to approach them.

After all, Flanders discovered something when he killed the two members of the Mage Association the last time.

These guys seemed to provide much more fear points than ordinary people!

Naturally, Flanders would not let go of such gains.

If only the five-man team knew Flanders’s true thoughts. Not only would they have feelings of fear, they would also worry about Flanders running away.

Who knew that this strange creature had already planned to torture all five of them to death.

After taking a few more steps forward, Flanders suddenly stopped.

“Oh? They’re taking the initiative to come over?”

Flanders looked at the radar in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was still figuring out how to make a move to gain an advantage after heading to them.

However, they actually took the initiative to come over.

Thus, Flanders stopped in his footsteps.

An ambush was definitely better than a frontal attack.

Since they took initiative to give Flanders an advantage, naturally, he was not going to let it go.

Without the slightest hesitation, Flanders immediately found a hidden position and began his setup.

…

“Oh no, leader, look quickly.”

Lucius had been paying attention to the strange detection radar in his hand the whole way. At this time, he discovered that Flanders had stopped moving.

Although the buzz-cut man was also somewhat dissatisfied with Lucius’s meddlesome behavior, he still stopped to look at the radar.

“Eh?” When he looked over, he also noticed that Flanders had stopped moving.

“This is strange. Why isn’t he moving?”

The other team members were slightly stunned when they heard this. They moved closer.

The red-robed man looked at the blue dot on the radar that had stopped moving. He smiled contemptuously and said, “Did he sense our presence and get scared already?”

The red-robed man’s words received the approval of the other two team members.

However, Lucius slapped his thigh and said anxiously, “Haven’t you thought of another possibility?!”

Even after hearing Lucius’s words, the red-robed man still had a proud look on his face as he asked nonchalantly, “What other possibility could there be?”

Looking at the red-robed man’s nonchalant expression, Lucius’s expression became increasingly ugly.

“What if the scarecrow discovered our existence, abandoned the detection radar, and decided to flee?

“Wouldn’t we never find that guy?”
