Surrounded by monstrous creatures like dark clouds, Jas, Ji Rui Guang, Anman, and Zuo Jinxuan watched the horde of monsters rushing past them, their expressions not looking good.
"Can Delin... handle it?"
Jas, a seven-star evolver, despite having been beaten by Xia Bai and trampled by the iron lock prisoner earlier, appeared to be fine now.
However, his face showed a heavy expression as he looked at the monstrous creatures flowing by, filled with worry.
Strangely, the four of them stood there, yet the monsters seemed not to see them, nor did they hear their conversation.
"After this incident, he should mature. He needs to be allowed to handle things alone in the future, and this is just a training opportunity," Ji Rui Guang observed. In about half a minute, the horde of monsters would move far away, and they could finally exit.
They were using a concealment equipment, which Ji Rui Guang had purchased at a high price from someone else. Now, it was in use. The equipment was one-time use, and once expended, it would disappear, but Ji Rui Guang had no regrets.
"It's a pity this multi-dimensional screen is being wasted here," Anman said, feeling a bit pained about the equipment. After all, if used well, it could save lives.
"As long as we obtain such an item, everything is worth it," Ji Rui Guang said firmly. The other three, even Jas and Zuo Jinxuan, who were also seven-star evolvers, remained silent. Although their evolution levels were higher than Ji Rui Guang’s, they lacked confidence in defeating this commander of area c. Furthermore, the promises made by this commander had moved the two of them, leading them to set aside their neutral stance and choose to stand with area c.
"It's a pity that Mu Xinfey, Guangyao, and the people from Cloud Summit did not join the team; otherwise, they could have borne some of the losses for us," Anman continued, his tone filled with regret.
"That’s unavoidable; after all, everyone is not on the same page," Ji Rui Guang said. As he spoke, the horde of monsters had already passed them, rushing toward the escaping team. The four stepped out from the multi-dimensional screen, and the equipment immediately turned to ashes.
"Let's go!" Ji Rui Guang led the way in a certain direction, but in his heart, he prayed for the team that had attracted all the monsters, hoping they could break out soon.
However, he also understood that it would inevitably require a tremendous price.
One thing Ji Rui Guang did not say was that area c had already suffered greatly from the ambush. If they simply left now, even if they eventually broke out, they would be destined to fall from grace. They could only take a gamble to gain a chance for a comeback.
Sacrifice, you sacrifice your lives, while I sacrifice my reputation.
Ji Rui Guang thought to himself.

"Liang Jie, it's been two hours," Ayang gently reminded Liang Chuyin. The protection time of the crystal nest barrier was nearly halfway gone, but nothing had changed. For those trapped, this was not a good omen.
The boss just said he was going to turn a wheel, but what kind of wheel could take so long? He had taken the Jingjue Floating Sphere, and in two hours, they could have flown far away.
Anxiety surged in everyone's hearts.
Outside the crystal nest barrier, the monstrous creatures remained densely packed, some even jumping onto the barrier’s top, incessantly banging against it, trying to break through and kill these humans, capturing the women to turn them into breeding tools.
Seeing those ferocious and ugly faces, many warriors began to waver.
Perhaps breaking out with the main force earlier was the better choice.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Although we can’t communicate with Zhong Ming now, the merit medal has increased significantly, which can only happen by killing high-level evolvers. Your boss is still fighting," Liang Chuyin said, patting Ayang's shoulder to comfort the still underage boy.
