Stephen turned to look at the others behind him. Everyone had an incredibly serious expression on their faces. Stephen felt his heart sinking. It meant that no one could feel the mark. It meant that Eduardo and Thorn were definitely not in good condition!
A warrior from a second-grade world said with a trembling voice, "It's only been an hour! How did they…"
He was right! Only one short hour had passed, and something had already happened. It was too quick. Stephen's heart pounded rapidly. He could not calm down.
However, Stephen knew that the situation would only worsen if he did not calm down. He took a few deep breaths, composing himself. Fane looked at Stephen coldly, regarding Stephen in a better light.
He really was the leader of that team. He always kept himself calm in every situation. Sometimes, impulsiveness would not solve problems, and would only exacerbate the problem.
After five minutes, Stephen looked at Fane, "I'll admit, I doubted your words before this, but that doubt is gone now. The situation now is terrible!"
Stephen was incredibly frustrated. Those two were probably already dead. In truth, Stephen was not too sad about that.
He was sad because the two of them dying meant that the warriors from the second-grade worlds were weaker. They were even less of a match for Fane's faction. After that, they might end up being cannon fodder for Fane.
Stephen really hated Eduardo at that moment. That guy could die due to his arrogance if he wanted to, but his death had caused a result like that. All the warriors from second-grade worlds had to shoulder it.
Stephen took a deep breath and said, "What do we do next? If we just sit here patiently and don't get tempted to go hunting for the beasts, there shouldn't be any more problems."
Fane shook his head, "I don't think it'll be that easy. Even if we just sit here, things can still happen."
The moment that was said, Stephen was stunned, "Things will still happen? What will happen? They probably won't move so easily when we have so many gathered here!"
Fane shook his head helplessly, "They'll definitely attack. No matter what kind of price they have to pay, they'll try to kill all of us."
When Fane said that, he left no room for doubt. Stephen and the others felt their hearts racing as they paled. A warrior from a second-grade world said loudly, "Why do you say that?! Why would they want to kill us no matter the price?!"
As the intense debate went on, the beasts already had some new movements. A team of fifty Demon Spirit Beasts with the beast Karsh as the leader was rapidly approaching their location.
Karsh had just let a few lower leveled demonic beasts observe the humans from the air. After determining the numbers and position of the humans, they stopped about a kilometer away from where Fane was.
