Li Zheng's primary targets were the three Mud Furnace chickens that escaped from channel 24. When they left, they must have communicated, as they were all on the same channel.
He initially thought their purpose in moving to the same channel was to make alliances easier, allowing them to look out for each other.
However, when he teleported over, he found that the three Mud Furnace chickens had actually formed a team.
When Li Zheng arrived in the room, the three Mud Furnace players had just killed a Gold Level creature and were resting.
Sitting cross-legged together, each with a healing item in hand, they chatted casually.
Perhaps not expecting Li Zheng to find them so soon, the three were oblivious to Li Zheng's arrival and made no effort to conceal their conversation.
