Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 947 - 477: Catching Them All in One Net

Lin Beichen nodded slightly and affirmed, "That's right, I indeed have a way."

"Oh? What way?" Company Commander Li curiously pressed.

Lin Beichen calmly explained, "We can find some 'stand-ins' to tread through the minefield, so we can safely pass through."

"Stand-ins? Are you saying we should sacrifice others? I absolutely cannot accept that!" Company Commander Li immediately objected. In his team, everyone was as close as brothers, and he couldn't let them go to their deaths. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Lin Beichen sighed lightly, realizing that Company Commander Li had misunderstood him. "By stand-ins, I don't mean real people," he clarified.

"Then what do you mean?" Company Commander Li asked, frowning in confusion.

"Have you heard of the ancient tales of scattering beans to form soldiers and cutting grass to make horses?" Lin Beichen guided.

Company Commander Li showed a puzzled expression, "You mean that legendary story?"

Xia Luyao tentatively asked, "Are you planning to use a similar method?"

"Yes," Lin Beichen nodded, "Although we can't literally scatter beans to form soldiers, we can use the weeds here to make some strawmen as stand-ins to clear the mines for us."

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Li sneered, "Have you been reading too many novels? We're on a mission now, not playing house." He scoffed at Lin Beichen's suggestion, thinking it was utterly unrealistic.

However, Xia Luyao supported Lin Beichen's idea, "I trust Lin Beichen. Since he's proposed this plan, he must have his reasons." With that, she began helping Lin Beichen gather weeds.

Watching Xia Luyao and the other members of the Venomous Snake Special Team join in making strawmen, Company Commander Li could only shake his head and sigh, "You're all crazy."

Soon, another team led by Long Chuzhi arrived. Upon learning there was a minefield ahead, they couldn't proceed either, so the two teams combined to discuss strategies.

When Company Commander Li explained Lin Beichen's "absurd" plan to Long Chuzhi, she unexpectedly expressed a willingness to wait and see the result. She had previously witnessed Lin Beichen's extraordinary abilities in past missions, so she held some expectation for his plan this time as well.

Through everyone's collective efforts, several strawmen were soon crafted. Lin Beichen took out talisman paper, bit his finger, and drew talismans on it, then stuck them on the strawmen's faces, dropping a drop of blood on each strawman's forehead.

What happened next left everyone dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the previously silent and unremarkable stone array was engulfed in a sudden wind and sand, dust flying everywhere, and the visibility became blurred.

Next, dark patterns seemed to surge between the stones, like veins, cleverly connecting each stone into an obscure array diagram.

"Heavens, what's going on?"

"Why is the wind around this Eight Array Diagram so strong, yet the surrounding trees are completely still?"

"Can this Eight Array Diagram really transform on its own, just like in the legends?"

"Am I seeing things? This is unbelievable!"

The members of the Wolf King Special Team witnessed this scene with wide eyes and faces full of astonishment. They never imagined that these seemingly ordinary stones could create such a peculiar spectacle.

Even the Venomous Snake Special Team members were prepared mentally, yet the sight in front of them left them astonished.

Lin Beichen looked at everyone's surprised expressions and only smiled faintly, "This is just the beginning."

When those mercenaries step into the array, an even more dramatic scene will unfold.

"What do we do next?" Xia Luyao inquired of Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen smiled slightly and calmly said, "We retreat, and let them charge into the array themselves."

Thus, the two special teams orderly and systematically retreated backward.

Meanwhile, ahead, the mercenaries lay hidden in the dense grass.

"Jason, what's going on? Why haven't they moved for so long?" a mercenary inquired through a communication earpiece.

The mercenary known as Jason furrowed his brow and stared intently ahead with a serious expression, "Not sure, could they have run away?"

They had been here lying in wait, expecting the others to make a move so they could capture them in one fell swoop. However, as time ticked away, those special forces remained silent, making them anxious and uneasy.

"We can't wait any longer, we need to take the initiative." At that moment, a mercenary named Bat suggested.

"No, they're special forces!" Jason opposed firmly. Facing special forces head-on, he wasn't confident of victory.

"What's to fear? They don't have live ammunition now, they're no match for us," Bat dismissed unconcernedly.

After a moment of hesitation, Jason and the others found Bat's words reasonable, and decided to move forward and investigate together.

A dozen mercenaries cautiously advanced, suddenly spotting the silhouettes of two special forces teams ahead.

"There they are!" Jason exclaimed, and immediately a dozen mercenaries raised their guns and fired.

However, to their shock, not a single bullet hit the target. As if swallowed by an endless void, the bullets vanished, leaving not even an echo.

"Damn it! How did not a single shot hit!" Jason cursed furiously, then with a wave of his hand, a dozen mercenaries charged forward, attempting to catch up with the special forces.

But after running only a few steps, they suddenly found themselves in a completely unfamiliar world.

"What's happening? Everything around us has changed!"
