Roar, roar.
The swift advancement of the orc army pressed down on them like a tide of darkness surging toward Mili Forest, a signaling of no good intent.
"So, what should we do next?" Ji Qian quietly asked, her palm tightly grasping Ye Shikai's arm, fearful to hear the answer.
"You take the awakening fruit and leave the rainforest immediately, meet up with Soul Destroyer and the others. I will go notify Mona." Ye Shikai finally made up his mind, his face covered in sweat, making this decision seemed to have drained all the courage of his life.
"No, Qingyu is still waiting for you in Yanjing, what if..."
"Enough, there is no 'what if'. I will be fine." Ye Shikai cut her off decisively, judging by the distance, neither Ye Shikai nor Ji Qian had the capability to ensure that after alerting Mona of the enemy attack, they could both escape unscathed. This meant whoever went to send the message would likely be left behind.
