Having returned to Qiao Shan and the others' resting camp from the third defensive line, Qiao Shan had also mostly recovered by now. Fortuitously, neither Wang Lan and his companion nor anyone left in the camp had been detected by the Exotic Beasts.
Under normal circumstances, a standard reconnaissance squad has a 70% chance of avoiding detection by Exotic Beasts. The reason the Mechanical Armored Beasts were able to detect Wang Lan and others in the Geo-crystal Region was because they are mechanical life forms.
Their left eye is an advanced detection instrument, equipped with everything from farsightedness and X-ray vision to thermal sensing.
Wang Lan and his companion did not voice their inner suspicions. Qiao Shan led the group underground, and they resumed their journey.
