The situation was dire. Instructor Zhou judged that a serious problem had likely occurred deep within the Moon Shadow Forest.
To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, he immediately shouted the order to retreat.
As a veteran who had spent years navigating Dimension Planes, he knew exactly what to do in this situation.
He knew they couldn't count on the powerful figures to swoop in and save them. They might lend a hand, but only after the emergency was contained.
If they had to make a choice, they certainly wouldn't risk the safety of the many just to save a dozen or so people.
Upon receiving the order, Li Qian didn't overthink it. He simply beckoned and said in a grave tone, "Get on."
The instant he beckoned, Qizai was before him with lightning speed.
Li Qian took the lead, leaping directly onto Qizai's back. Ami Liya, Hu Wenjing, Wu Mingming, and Ding Ganmao followed close behind, jumping on as well.
