As Fane's interrogation continued, Karsh's side looked like they were in complete panic. At that moment, Karsh was frowning as it constantly paced around on the spot. Its eyes were darting everywhere, and various thoughts went through its mind. The other beasts looked incredibly anxious as well. They did not dare to say anything for fear of interrupting Karsh's thoughts.
All of the Demon Spirit Beasts realized how serious the problem was. Those humans were different from what they had expected. They had thought that the humans would just find somewhere secluded to hide, not daring to do anything.
Yet, reality revealed otherwise. The humans actually dared to ambush when there were so many beasts. Even more unbelievable was the fact that the humans succeeded. At that moment, it was unknown whether the prince was dead or alive. All of them would have to bear the punishment, and the one with the most responsibility was Karsh.
If the matter was not resolved soon and the humans managed to safely leave the Demon Spirit Kingdom, then Karsh's life would be at risk. No matter how dumb Mijas was, he still knew how serious the situation was.
However, he could not figure out what they needed to do at all. He felt like any mistake could very well cause everything to end up in a worse state.
Besant frowned, standing by his side. It was hard to tell what Besant was thinking. Mijas looked at Besant and whispered, "Don't you think Karsh looks anxious? You've always been smart. Go give him some suggestions."
Besant rolled its eyes, glaring at Mijas, "Just shut up. Don't push me into the pit of fire. There are no correct suggestions right now. I don't have any good ideas either. If we gather all our forces, the humans might just take the chance to escape.
“After all, we haven't even been able to tell where they are. If we split up, it’ll be more dangerous. There are a few incredibly strong geniuses among those humans. If we split up, it would just be an open slaughter for them. More and more beasts will die. It would be the death of us too!"
Saying that, Besant could not help but sigh, feeling like the future was not very bright. Everything they could do seemed wrong. Mijas could not accept it and clenched its teeth wanting to say something. Yet, it was too simple-minded to figure anything out.
Besant took a deep breath and said, "More importantly, time is of the essence. If Karsh can't decide, then the situation will only get worse."
The time was tight for two reasons. Firstly because the Demon Spirit Kingdom was only open for a limited amount of time. After another day, the kingdom would close again. Those humans who are alive would be sent out, and the secret would be exposed. Then, their future would be tumultuous.
On the other hand, they were worried that the humans would attack again, launching another ambush. There were fewer humans than beasts, and the humans were in unknown locations. It was very easy for the humans to take advantage of any opportunities. The more beasts that died, the more they would be responsible for it.
It was no wonder that Karsh was so frantic. Mijas looked at Karsh, and could not figure anything out.
It said helplessly, "The king still doesn't know anything. I wouldn't dare to think of what would happen to us if he knew. Even if he can't do anything to us now, once everything is over, we'll be in for a world of suffering."
