The instant the elder charged, Feng Mingyou was the fastest to react. As combat erupted, he ignored everything else and simply raised his hands. An illusory teacup appeared in one hand and a stream of water in the other.
"I have a tea, called: Augment!"
"I have a tea, called: Rapid Speed!"
"I have a tea, called: Protection!"
...
He rattled off several buffs in one go. Only after he finished did the Human Ape Elder charge up to them.
Steam rose from the teacup, and he immediately retreated. The moment he sensed the attack's intensity, he knew he was once again completely out of his league.
That was why he had chosen to cast all his buffs at once and then quickly fall back. He couldn't help much, but at the very least, he didn't want to be a burden.
Beside him, Tong Hou made the same choice as Feng Mingyou, retreating backward.
