"We can’t keep going like this. We must imdiately take action to eliminate so of these mysterious creatures; otherwise, they will continue to gather!"
Watching as the large ship sped along, continually attracting the pursuit of mysterious creatures, Lu Zhan and a few others who had once crossed the altered land imdiately proposed with grave expressions to clear so of them out at once.
To traverse this altered world, one cannot just move forward blindly. Constant vigilance is necessary to clear away the mysterious creatures trailing behind; otherwise, once they amass to a certain scale, dealing with them will beco even more troubleso.
This was the valuable experience gained at a significant cost previously.
However, faced with the anxious expressions of Lu Zhan and others, Su Qi was sowhat indifferent. After briefly observing the mysterious creatures pursuing behind the large ship, he thought for a mont and said, "No rush, let’s keep moving forward. We can take action after three thousand kiloters."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan’s mouth dropped open, unable to utter a word.
Three thousand kiloters.
That’s about halfway to the destination—the Eleventh District—on this journey...
At the current rate of mysterious creatures gathering, it would likely reach over five hundred by then.
This number was close to the Disaster Level they faced in the Ninth District.
Everyone knew full well the great price it took them to persist through that battle. To go through it again, they might face deadly consequences even without direct action from the mysterious creatures.
Thus, Tong Qi imdiately jumped forward, earnestly pleading, "Master Su Qi, we mustn’t be complacent. It’s not that we’re cowardly, but there’s really no need to wait for the mysterious creatures to form a scale. If we strike now and fight while advancing, though it might delay us a bit, it would maximize the preservation of our strength."
"Perhaps you haven’t crossed such a vast transford land to witness the dangers involved..."
The implication, oh no, it was almost directly pointing out how terrible Su Qi’s suggestion was and how it was outright flirting with death.
At this point, Lu Zhan, Lu Chengjian, and a few others frowned too, casting a pleading glance at Su Qi.
Having experienced many battles across Otherworld realms, they knew very well that extraordinary power didn’t always equate to wisdom. High-ranking decisions often led to the deaths of many Transcendents, so they argued their case, even at the risk of angering Su Qi.
Then, Lu Zhan chid in agreent, analyzing the benefits of a strategic retreat strategy, ensuring that it would only take one or two days at most to have everyone arrive at the Eleventh District in better condition.
However.
They didn’t know Su Qi was most pressed for ti and was essentially racing against it.
If they spent one or two days per district, it would fruitlessly waste almost a month. During this lengthy period, any changes in the Ninth District were unpredictable and unacceptable for Su Qi.
Moreover.
He hadn’t seen any mysterious creature among those pursuing them that surpassed the Source Level.
Even though the strength of mysterious creatures couldn’t be judged by appearance, Su Qi understood that such creatures should be able to catch up with the ship’s speed.
And slaying a creature beyond the Source Level was the condition to force the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao to manifest.
He rembered clearly.
Even after annihilating many mysterious creatures and wreaking havoc on the altered lands, the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao did not appear.
It wasn’t until defeating the flawless female mysterious creature that the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao manifested, implying that ordinary mysterious creatures might be insignificant, but those beyond Source Level were the ones that mattered most to the Heavenly Dao.
So.
To balance advancing speed and collecting Soul Crystals, Su Qi made this decision.
Therefore, despite Lu Zhan and the others arguing passionately, Su Qi didn’t listen to a word, unwilling to waste ti, and instead turned to Nie Bao’s group, asking, "What do you think?"
Instantly.
Lu Zhan and his group breathed a long sigh of relief.
They were secretly relieved that Su Qi wasn’t a dictator who acted without consulting others.
They also believed that after experiencing the battles in the Ninth District, Nie Bao’s group should understand the horror of mysterious creatures once they reach a certain scale.
However.
To their surprise.
Nie Bao’s group cast a disdainful glance their way and gave a completely opposite opinion: "Master Su Qi, as our leader, we should naturally follow your every instruction unconditionally!"
In an instant.
Lu Zhan and his group almost choked on their own breath, staring incredulously at Nie Bao and others, their minds in a fog.
Damn!
This was practically risking one’s life to flatter soone else.
At this mont, they even suspected whether the others had fallen under Su Qi’s ntal Manipulation.
However.
Faced with the deep-seated disdain from Lu Zhan’s group, Nie Bao’s faces wore a mocking expression, offering no further explanation.
Because.
Even they, before witnessing firsthand the supre power of Master Su Qi, would not have believed in the extent achievable by soone at the Destruction Level no matter how others praised him to the skies.
anwhile, an uncontainable excitent surged within Nie Bao’s group.
It seed they would once again experience the power capable of overturning heaven and earth.
"Alright, minority yield to majority, let’s move on," Su Qi said without any further explanation, settling the matter.
Even so, once Su Qi returned to his quarters to rest, Lu Zhan and the others remained on high alert, gathering around a screen to watch the increasing crowd of mysterious creatures trailing behind, their legs trembling with fear.
"We’re dood."
"Master Su Qi, could he be planning to get rid of us..." Lu Chengjian seed to realize sothing, a chill running down his spine.
"It does seem that way," Tong Qi’s neck was stiff, not daring to look back, fearing they might suddenly make eye contact with Su Qi, appearing out of nowhere.
Lu Zhan’s expression was odd, his voice lowered: "Sigh, given our past mistakes, if it were , I’d probably do the sa—extract the last bit of value before discarding."
At that mont.
Beside them, Chen Luo, holding a manifested Divine Weapon, spoke in a deep, muffled voice: "Stop overthinking things."
"Do you really think Master Su Qi, if he wanted to kill us, would need such roundabout thods?"
These words were like a wake-up call.
The crowd imdiately slapped their foreheads.
True enough.
So... the misunderstanding was resolved.
