The mountain of gems was right before their eyes, but at this moment, it was clearly impossible to bypass it.
A vast number of Energy-devouring Evil Sunflowers stood there, coiling around each other, entwined like a ball of snakes, but everyone knew that this was infinitely more dangerous than a real nest of snakes.
In front of their massive size, the plaza seemed far too cramped.
"Bait tactics?"
"It can't be done... and besides, there's no time left."
The message from the Reception Room informed them that the Energy-devouring Evil Sunflowers had begun to return, and within a foreseeable future, at most ten minutes later, everyone's retreat would be cut off.
Behind them was a path that was being sealed off once again, with no space left even for bait to move.
"The usual rules..."
The calm words conveyed determination as always.
