Those humans did not just need to pass through them to leave. They could go through the fog behind them as well.
Karsh’s voice was low, and it trembled a bit, “How likely do you think it is that they’re already within the fog?”
Besant looked at the cave, and its voice sank a bit as well, “There’s a ninety percent chance! I’ve already examined everything just now. All the soil was freshly dug up, and the footprints were just left behind as well.”
“The cave should be recently made. They dug it up to avoid us finding them. Yet, they’re not here right now, and we were always down below. They did not have the time to escape, so there was only one possibility. They entered the fog!”
Karsh’s expression darkened even more. The fog did not just obstruct sight, but any senses as well.
The moment they entered, they were practically blind. They would be forced to use their memories to find the Blood Lake. If they were not careful, they might even end up getting lost. That was why they never ventured into the fog unless the king summoned them.
Karsh was starting to panic, “If they find the Blood Lake, then we’re all dead!”
Entering the fog was even worse for them than losing a lot of their numbers to a massive battle.
Diante’s temper was intense. As long as it was not happy, none of them would get out of this unscathed.
Besant hurriedly said, “There’s actually no need to worry! The Blood Lake is at the most important point of the fog. Even we rely on our memory to get there. There’s a good chance we could end up lost as well. Because the humans have never entered, unless someone leads them, there’s no way they will reach the Blood Lake!”
Karsh took a deep breath, not saying anything.
At that moment, all it could do was constantly pray that the humans were unlucky enough to get lost in the fog and that none of them would get close to the Blood Lake.
Karsh looked up at the fog and said, “The Sky Locking Array should have already been activated. No one can enter Blood Lake, but they can still get close to it. As long as none of them disturb the king’s trial, we should be able to make up for our faults!”
“Listen to my orders right now! All beasts are to follow me into the fog and look for the humans! The moment you find them, immediately issue a signal!”
All of the beasts nodded at the same time. All of them entered the fog at the same time.
At that moment, Diante was already preparing to undergo a trial at the center of Blood Lake.
It formed seal after seal, and the blood around it was being guided by the seals, forming on top of its head. In so many years, it had needed to go through a trial by thunder every half a year. Every time, the thunder was fiercer and fiercer. If it did not have ways to protect itself, it would have already been destroyed.
Right at that moment, it heard footsteps from afar again. Diante frowned as anger surged into its mind.
It wondered which beasts dared to get close to the Blood Lake at that moment. They must not be afraid of it getting angry and killing them!
It opened its eyes, coldly observing the fog. It already made a decision. No matter who it was, be it a beast that came to report or Karsh, it would definitely let them know the consequences of disturbing it. Yet, it was completely stunned when it saw who appeared.
