With a wave of his hand, Jack led everyone and continued westward. Once favonovel.com and the others left, forty Demon Spirit Beasts gathered where the battle had been ended.
Karsh stood in the middle of the beasts.
Its eyebrows furrowed tightly as it looked at the battlefield angrily.
Their companions had been slaughtered by the humans, and their corpses were left scattered all around. It was obvious how intense the battle had been.
Mijas’ lips trembled, and his voice shook a little, “Eight of ours didn’t even manage to delay them at all! They’re so strong!”
If it was any other moment, Karsh would have berated Mijas for praising their opponents, but it could not say anything at that moment, because it thought the same too.
Those humans were stronger than they thought!
Even though the humans had more numbers, they still had eight of them!
It was perfectly possible to stall for a moment, but reality ended up being completely different. Their companions had been killed in just a few moments. The opponents left immediately without any delay, not even taking care of the corpses.
Even Karsh was panicking. Besant walked over to Karsh and said seriously, “The situation is worse than we thought. It’s obvious they know that we’re surrounding them if they suddenly move like this. What do we do next?”
Karsh took a deep breath. He had a dark expression on his face, “What else can we do?! Issue the order. Call out two times the amount of lower leveled beasts and have them search everywhere! We have to find them! If they escape, our days will be much harder ahead!”
Besant nodded and immediately turned to spread the order. Karsh had a frown as it looked to the west, “They’re heading toward that direction, but if I was them, I would probably change course. When we search, we can’t leave out any directions.”
“Even if there’s still over a day, it’s perfectly possible for them to hide for that long if they do it well. We can’t relax at all. You know how the king is. If we fail, he’ll eat us all!”
All of the beasts stood up, not daring to delay things at all.

After two hours, Jack and the others arrive at the place Kesh talked about.
They were among mountains.
In front of them was a dense forest, and behind them was a canyon. To hide, Jack and the others were behind the mountains. They could observe the forest constantly and could retreat into the canyons whenever they wanted.
Jack hurriedly arranged for men to constantly keep watch. He sent out his divine senses, looking through every blade of grass around them.
Rudy looked at Jack with some worry. He felt like that was the most dangerous situation they had ever been in in the Whirling World. It was not that there had been no dangers before this, but that Jack had always been in control.
It was different this time. Even if Jack was not afraid of most of those beasts, there was a king that had never appeared to back them.
That king was what Jack was afraid of. He could feel that Jack did not know if favonovel.com was even a match for that king. That was why Jack was in such alarm.
Thinking about that, Rudy took a deep breath and sighed.
The others were in no better state. Even though they had arrived safely, Jack had guessed everything. The situation really was bad. If Jack had not been so decisive, they might have ended up being eaten by those beasts. Even if they broke through in the end, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Stephen sat on the ground despondently. There were various thoughts in his head.
Jack suddenly said to Stephen, ”Speak up if you have something to say. Don’t just stand there looking frustrated.”
Jack felt a bit helpless at how depressed everyone was acting. It was not good for them. If they lost their confidence in battle, the consequences would be dire.
