Zhang Kui bolted for his life, making full use of the terrain to race across the wilderness.
A hundred meters behind him, three members of the Spine Team spread out, forming a fan-shaped pursuit formation.
Suddenly, White Whale's order came down: let the enemy escape in a subtle way, don't let him see that you're deliberately "unable" to catch up.
The three who received this order were puzzled, but didn't overthink it and followed the commander's intent to the letter.
After a bout of chasing, the three from the Spine Team lost their target.
Hiding behind a big boulder, Zhang Kui looked confused and muttered, "Why'd they stop chasing? That's really strange."
These three, of course, knew the Spine Team's hiding place. In order to wipe them out, traps had already been prepared. Now that the three had stopped chasing, Zhang Kui couldn't help but grow suspicious and wonder if something in the plan had been overlooked.
