Going back in time to before Phoebe and Terry had launched their offensive strike, Shi Tian was slowly spectating the scene from underground.
Although being idle was nice, he was more afraid of being buried alive in the underground. After all, once the fight begins, there would definitely be destructive spells and attacks raining from all sides. At that time, the entrance of the underground might be covered.
"Mitey, can you all dig up a new passage for me— one that can be on the blind side of the enemy?" Shi Tian asked the Dust Mites calmly.
Despite having a passage in front of him, he didn't wish to take that and be spotted by Phoebe's soldiers.
What he planned to do was be a shadow and interrupt the fight without anyone detecting or noticing him. Hence, he needed a new passage to prevent Phoebe and the White Syndicate from suspecting him.
