Dwight glanced at Jed speechlessly. "Even if we wait here obediently, can this stop them from finding us?" Jed was trying every possible way at a time of crisis and was not thinking straight. He wanted to cause trouble when he saw people chitchatting. What Dwight said immediately stopped Jed from speaking. Jed was so embarrassed that his face and neck flushed a crimson color but he was unable to refute Dwight.
Just like what Dwight said, were they able to prevent themselves from being captured by those people if they kept quiet and sat there meditating to restore their breathing? In fact, their current situation was akin to leaving their life in the hands of the gods. They did everything they could and if they
were still unable to escape the fact of being captured, this proved that they were fated to die.
Dwight turned around and looked at Fane, who had been calm the entire time. "I've never expected you to be so calm when you're only in the initial stage of innate level. Aren't you afraid of being implicated by us?" This was what Dwight really wanted to ask after they came out of the cave. The cyclops canines had strong hunting powers but no matter how strong they were, they required items left behind by their targets to search for these people.
The masked man had their senior brother's torn up clothes and this meant that they were being pin-pointed. The two of them could never leave their senior and escape on their own and they would have to die together no matter what happened.
However, there was no need for Fane to run for his life with them. If they went on different ways, Fane would have a better chance at survival. However, from Fane's calm expression, it looked like he did not think about leaving them to save himself. Dwight was extremely puzzled by his actions.
After all, if he was in Fane's shoes, he would definitely distance himself from these people to prevent himself from being involved. Fane glanced at Dwight and remained calm as he spoke. "From how the Corpse Pavilion is acting, I would not have a high possibility of surviving even if I leave you guys and run toward the opposite direction. The Corpse Pavilion plans to kill everybody and I don't think that I'm lucky enough..."
Fane was not telling the truth as he was full of secrets himself. If he told the truth, he would naturally raise Dwight's suspicion. Dwight subconsciously raised his eyebrows and did not continue the conversation after he heard Fane’s reply. However, Fane knew clearly that Dwight did not believe in what he said.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming toward them from far away. All five of them were stunned and they immediately stood up. Fane stepped forward with a frown on his face and shielded Nash behind him. Dwight and Jed did the same thing as they completely blocked Albion behind them. They should have turned around to run at this moment but what Fane said flashed through their minds. They would arrive at the Cliff of Sorrow if they ran another 10 more yards.
They could only run toward the sides if they wanted to but there was a huge boulder and below this huge boulder was the Ten Absolutes trap array. Even if they moved toward the side, they would arrive at the border soon. This forced them into a desperate situation where there was no place to hide.
The figure slowly became clearer through the white mist. Their hearts dropped the moment they saw the person clearly as the worst situation had occurred. The masked man was holding onto the cyclops canine's leash as the animal breathed heavily with his long tongue hanging out of his mouth.
He seemed to be extremely excited now that he had found his target. He wagged his tail hard as he focused his huge eyes on Fane and the rest.
