During the conversation, the group had already withdrawn several hundred meters away. Under the cover of dense woods, they could only see remnants of the scene, engulfed in the overwhelming evil qi that obscured the blazing sun in the sky.

Instead, they turned around and sped towards the rear.
In such a locale, after losing so many people, they weren't willing to linger any longer.
"Why rush away so quickly? Why not stay?"
Suddenly, a few figures emerged from a part of the forest.
