In the fissure where Qin Tian was located, he sensed the sudden commotion from the outside. Hearing the chaotic footsteps above him, he quickly reacted.
This situation must be what Wen Yu referred to as “movement.”
Having been stuck in the fissure for over ten minutes, Qin Tian was not about to miss this hard-won opportunity. He swiftly climbed out of the fissure, only to be greeted by a few demonic creatures with bared fangs and claws...
Although these low-level demonic creatures had received orders to disperse and retreat, this location was far too distant from the direction Wen Yu launched his attack. These brainless creatures had no clue what was happening, and upon seeing fresh flesh, they immediately became excited.
They charged at Qin Tian with loud roars, only to be torn into pieces by his two swords...
While casually dealing with the low-level demonic creatures around him—this didn’t even require much of Qin Tian’s attention, just drawing and sheathing his sword—he listened intently to the distant sounds of explosions.
“It has started.”
Qin Tian quickly made his judgment.
Thinking of this, he glanced around.
A large number of demonic creatures were scattered everywhere, without any order, making the scene extremely chaotic.
They were fleeing for their lives, and Qin Tian immediately made the correct judgment.
Seeing this scene, an idea suddenly arose in Qin Tian's heart...
In such a situation, why run?
There was no need to run; these lively demonic creatures were all walking points...
At this moment, Qin Tian's thoughts coincided with Wen Yu’s.
With that in mind, Qin Tian continued to reap the lives of the demonic creatures around him while taking out his communicator to call Arthur.
“Where are you now?”
“I don’t know; I only know the general direction is west.”
After breaking free from the encirclement with Qin Shiyuan and Nicole, Arthur didn’t stop to rest but instead ran farther away—after all, the farther away, the safer it was.
In this life-and-death situation, Arthur had no idea where he was heading, only retreating toward the direction with fewer demonic creatures.
“Are you safe now?”
“There’s no danger now. I estimate that it should be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian pondered for a moment before decisively saying.
“Thanks. Also, I need to trouble you for a while longer to help protect my sister’s safety.”
“It’s a small matter.”
Having already rescued the people, it wouldn’t take much effort to protect them a bit longer, so Arthur accepted without much thought.
“Um... thank you.”
Qin Tian said another thank you before hanging up the call.
Qin Tian felt somewhat guilty about what he was doing—handing his sister over to Arthur for protection while he happily farmed points here...
After it's over, he would exchange some good things for Arthur, Qin Tian thought.
In the next moment, Qin Tian looked towards the direction of the sun, moving westward while trying to get closer to Arthur and Qin Shiyuan, all the while slashing through the surrounding groups of demonic creatures with his sword aura.
Having been so pent up within the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier, this time, Qin Tian was going to vent...
...
Number 4 was snorting with its big pig nose, occasionally adjusting its direction.
Behind Number 4, dozens of demonic creatures ranging from peak level 4 to mid-level 5 were trailing behind it.
These were the helpers Mara arranged for Number 4—while their strength was mediocre, their key skills were also lacking. In simpler terms, they were just slightly higher-level cannon fodder.
“Heh heh... found it...”
Number 4 sensed the increasingly rich aura in the air and immediately stopped its short legs, issuing commands to its “subordinates” behind it.
“You, you, heh heh, and you, go create a disturbance, target the female, the one with long hair.”
Number 4 wasn’t the brightest, and neither were its subordinates...
Fortunately, this operation didn’t require much brains.
Mara’s command for Number 4 was simply to create a disturbance, then forcibly stage some heroic rescue antics—though clichéd, it was very effective.
