Book 7, Chapter 26: Surprise Attack (2/2)
Everyone was startled by Su Chen’s assertiveness
Su Chen said, “Three days! That’s how long Sky City took to vanquish the Thousand Poisons Toad If Eternal Night evaluates us to be on the level of Sky City, then this gap of three days begins to make perfect sense That’s why it must be a Desolate Beast”
People always liked to use past experiences to predict the future Eternal Night was sht had instinctively assumed that the humans would take three days to defeat a Desolate Beast because Sky City had taken three days to defeat the Thousand Poisons Toad
“Hoill he do it?” Feng Zhuying didn’t understand
He still couldn’t grasp how a Harpy could control the movement of a Desolate Beast
Su Chen replied, “He can’t, but the Astrals can”
Finding a reason once the outcome had been found was much easier

But given their hatred towards the hu their fellow members, what difference would a few more sacrifices to control a Desolate Beast , Li Wuyi, and the others all understood
“Retreat from the Skywild Plains, now!”
“It’s too late now We’re already being watched, and our opponent is racing over here With the aid of those Astrals, it won’t be hard for that Beast to find our tracks” Su Chen glanced up at the sky At sorown die in the weather, but it was also possible that a powerful entity was rapidly closing in on their position
Without the earlier discussion, they ht it was the former, but now they knew that the latter was far more likely

It was al the them
Those observers were his eyes This was not a secret matter

Every bit they could construct would only improve their chances of victory and survival

At the same tian to gather The pressure was beginning tothe alarht shi+ning from their eyes as they atte froave theh
Time slowly trickled by, but the Desolate Beast had still not yet appeared
The hu to fade, yet no Desolate Beast had appeared A trace of doubt surfaced in their hearts
