712 A GRAND ESCAPE

" what the hell are you talking about?" ,The squad captain who was following Sitaram asked, " are you implying that we don't know how to do our mission properly?"

"That's not what I mean!" ,The squad captain who was following Arjun said, "I actually have two people ahead of me. One of them is my original target Arjun. And the other one is the bald man!"

" what kind of rubbish is that?" , The squad captain who was following Sitaram asked, " then are you saying that the one whom we have been following all this time is a fake one?"

" I didn't mean that you idiot!" ,The squad captain who was following Arjun shouted, "I am stating what exactly we are seeing right now. I have two people ahead of me. One of them is my original target Arjun. And the other one is that bald guy. Do you think I am in any position to joke around with you?"

"Then if you had two targets, then who exactly is the one that I am following?" ,The squad captain who was following Sitaram asked.

"As if I know!" ,The squad captain who was following Sitaram said.

"Guys! What the hell is going on here?" , The squad captain who was following Gnan asked, "Why all of a sudden I got two people to trail?"

" what do you mean?" ,By now all the squad captains were about to lose their minds because of strange behaviour from Arjun and his companions. And now there is another score that and who is claiming that he had to target in front of him. How are they not going to be feeling frustrated?

"Who are the two targets you are following?" ,The squad captain who was following Arjun asked.

" I have my initial target Gnan whom I was following for two days. And now another person along with my initial target. And judging from the appearance, this person looked like Jason!"

"Are you kidding me? I am following Jason at th—" ,The squad captain who was following Jason wanted to say something. But he stopped without completing his sentence.

"What's wrong?" ,The squad captain who was following Arjun asked, " just complete what exactly you wanted to say. Don't stop abruptly."

"Guys! I am seeing the three persons here. One of them is my initial target Jason. And judging from the appearance, the other two people looked like Alwyn and Gutherson!" ,The squad captain who was following Jason said in shock.

"I am actually following five people? And one of them is actually Arjun!"

"I am following seven people here! What the hell is going on here?"

One after the other all the squad captains started to complain that they have 3 to 5 or 6 to 7 people as their targets. All these gods and their members started to panic in pandemonium.

"Damn it! They found us! And they are following us!" ,A squad captain said.

"Here as well!" ,I actually have thirteen people who are chasing my squad.

And their so called "well trained" and "discipline" which they received from their respective clans has shattered into pieces as their formation was completely broken. Their respective squad captains tried their best to rearrange them in an order. But they failed completely. Very soon, Arjun and others escaped from the formation and ran away as far as possible.

The Squad Captains looked at everything unfolding in an helpless mode. They all tried their best to build the formation again. But because of the past strange events that occurred due to Arjun and his companions strange behaviour, that strange behaviour truly depressed them to the point where it hurt them psychologically.

And now appearances of multiple Arjun and others at a different spots at the same time gave these rick kids a terrifying feeling. They felt as if Arjun and others were complete monsters at the moment.

"It's strange! They outnumbered us by a large margin. Then why are they running away from us?" ,Logan asked

"That's right!" ,Jason said, "And here I was expecting a fierce battle with them."

"It can't be helped. This is the Astral World." ,Arjun sighed and said, "Just remember what I have said earlier. In the Chaos World, the cultivators will not be feared because of the difficult situations. Because they train in Willpower. But they will not have strong mind to bear any mental pressure. But in the Astral World, the cultivators will have weak Willpower. But they will have strong Soul Power. Because since they train in the Soul Power , their mental strength and mental state will always remain stronger than the cultivators in the Chaos World."

Arjun continued, "Maybe this is the reason why they were terrified by the unusual visual. We used the cloning technique and further transformed them into one of our teammates to trick them. But this unusual visual couldn't bear by the cultivators here and because of their weak Willpower, they had no other choice but to surrender to the fear. This is the reason why they ran away."

"It sounds a little weird." ,Adam said, "But at the same time, it sounds logical."

"Well, we have used the Stardust Spying Insects last night to find these perusers. Then we let those Stardust Spying Insects to attach the bodies of all the cultivators who were disturbing us. When their formation was in a complete mess due to the confusion we caused using the combined Cloning and Transformation Technique, it attracted all their focus. Using this chance we let our real bodies escape." ,Arjun said.

"And just as we thought, they were using their formation and were hunting down all the possible monsters that should have been coming our way." ,Sitaram said, "They were blocking every humans and monsters from reaching us. But some monsters managed to escape their palm which ended up as our targets. This is the reason why we couldn't find any human beings. And this is the reason why we found very little monsters to hunt and gain points."

"What should we do now?" ,Rick asked.

"What else? Let's go in our separate ways and hunt down the monsters." ,Arjun said, "Because of the delays for the two days straight, I guess that our ranking has fallen to very bottom of the ranking table. We should hurry and start to climb up on the ranking table. Let's go."

"Yes." ,Everyone replied and ran deep within the forest. Their real hunt begins now!
