Looking at the red-haired man's expression, it was obvious that he was involved in a perilous situation though managed to survive in the end. To the round-faced man, it was enough of a fortune.
The red-haired man took a deep breath. He looked rather dazed as he walked off the transfer array, wobbling in his steps. If someone was to look, even his eyes were trembling. His breathing was uneven, and it was evident something roughed him up.
Initially, the round-faced man's words attracted all the attention, so no one noticed what was wrong with the red-haired man. However, the red-haired man's behavior grew even more particular, and everyone slowly realized this.
"What happened to that guy? He looks like he went through something terrifying. Was he chased?" muttered a warrior from a third-grade world.
His fellow disciple next to him said with a frown, "I don't think so. If that were the case, he'd be incredibly glad that he survived. He'd be relieved and happy, but we see that it's not the case. He looks like he's just downright terrified."
"What happened? Could something strange have happened there? Could it be related to that masked man and the warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent?"
When that person spoke, everyone was suddenly interested. It seemed like what he said was incredibly likely. That red-haired man being so shell-shocked could very well have something to do with the masked man and the warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent.
Could that masked man's corpse have been ripped before his eyes? Could the scene have just been too cruel for him, shocking him to the core?
A warrior from a second-grade world frowned and said, "I'm guessing that something intense must've happened. Otherwise, there's no way he'd still be processing it even after being sent out of the transfer array. Just look at his breathing. Even his true energy is erratic, and his clothes are ruined as well. He must've been injured slightly since his face is a bit pale. Could he have barely avoided being collateral damage?"
At that moment, many of the warriors began to speculate at random in an attempt to guess what happened in the fog battlefield. If it had been before, no one would have reacted too much at someone being sent out looking like this.
This was different. Everyone saw that masked man's conflict with the warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent before the fog battlefield was even opened. Everyone saw it, and they eagerly awaited the results. That stirred everyone's imagination.
Eventually, the round-faced man started to hear all the discussion. Initially, he just felt glad that the red-haired man survived, but his curiosity had been piqued as well. He looked at the red-haired man who looked like he had just survived something unbelievable.
He coughed and asked curiously, "Don't be mad, but I'm just so curious. What happened inside for you to look like this?"
The red-haired man took a deep breath, and his pupils quivered slightly as he turned to look at the round-faced man. After that, he looked at all the curious onlookers. His lips twitched, wanting to say something. However, he swallowed the words before he did.
It was difficult for anyone to believe what he had just witnessed without seeing it for themselves. The red-haired man felt like no one would believe him even if he told them about everything that happened. They would think he was crazy, if anything.
