Grayson's mind truly did digest the situation they were in. Fane had just thought about all of that when Grayson spoke of it.
Grayson was right. They could use the distribution of the weak and the strong to determine where they should flee toward. The stronger beasts would usually always be in the inner areas of any forest.
The weaker the beasts, the longer they would stay around the outskirts. With this tactic, they would be able to leave this place. However, they first needed to find somewhere they could be safe in before that.
The spiritual vessel might have been wrecked, but its hard outer shell could still withstand a certain level of attacks. As long as it was not a dangerously strong fiend, they would be able to hide inside for temporary shelter should any danger present itself to them.
With the spiritual vessel as a temporary shelter, they could slowly start to explore outward.
Grayson took a deep breath. "I guess there's always a way—"
The moment he said that, the sound of frantic footsteps could be heard. It did not sound like a fiend's claws pacing on the ground. The three of them could immediately tell the difference.
The moment they heard the footsteps, they
immediately turned to look toward the direction but dared not move. They did not leave the spirit vessel.
They did not know whether the footsteps belonged to friend or foe. A human's heart was often more complicated than a beast's, so the trio had to be prepared for everything.
After a moment, they saw a white figure heading toward them from the most northern direction. He seemed to be stumbling as he ran.
