Hyrum was gripped by fear. He had come to the staggering realization that he was outclassed by Jared in both strength and mastery of poison. If this drags on, I won't be able to save myself, much less kill him!
Glancing at Xanthus, he observed the intense battle between Xanthus and Misho. The two were evenly matched, both being Sixth Level Tribulators. Hyrum estimated that it would take some time before a clear victor emerged.
Meanwhile, his subordinates were struggling in combat with the other cultivators.
The unity among this group of cultivators caught him off guard. His previous ambushes on human cultivators had always succeeded because most would selfishly flee when faced with a group confrontation.
However, it seemed things had turned south this time.
Simultaneously, the distant roars of silver tigers reached Hyrum's ears. The prospect of these silver tigers joining the fray made any hope of escape seem futile.
“Elder Fabrizio, we need to retreat immediately!” Hyrum shouted, swiftly turning and fleeing.
They found themselves at a significant disadvantage, and their only option was to withdraw and bide their time for another opportunity.
Xanthus, too, frowned. He hadn't expected a mere human exploration team to include a Sixth Level Tribulator expert like Misho. The idea of a tactical withdrawal crossed Xanthus' mind.
Since killing Jared is no longer feasible, conserving our strength takes precedence now. We'll seek another chance to act in the future!
Once the decision was made, the Demonic Cultivators began to pull back while continuing to fight.
Hyrum, in particular, discarded all hesitation, desperately racing into the mountain range without a backward glance.
