Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her delicate eyebrows as it was indeed a problem that they hadn't encountered any other teams until now.
In theory, considering the vast scope of the Battle of Supremacy and the number of participating teams, they should have come across some by now.
"Everyone, stay calm. As we gradually approach the center, we may encounter other teams at any time. We shouldn't be far away," Baili Hongzhuang reassured the team, knowing that anxiety and impatience wouldn't benefit their current situation.
"You're right, Young Master. Let's not rush and remain vigilant of our surroundings. We might be ambushed at any moment," Long Xuanjing said calmly, reminding everyone.
In the past, when Young Master was absent, Long Xuanjing was the one leading the team. Now that Young Master had joined them, he naturally assisted her to the best of his abilities.
The team nodded in agreement, understanding that there was no point in being impatient, although they couldn't help but vent their frustrations.
Two days later...
"Master, we've come a long way, far from the tree spirit, and yet, we haven't encountered a single monster. It's quite strange, don't you think?" White Lion's eyes glinted with alertness, believing that there must be something unusual going on.
"You think so too?" Baili Hongzhuang's eyebrows knitted together as she also noticed this point.
Although the tree spirit's attack range was broad, they should have already surpassed its territory by now. It was too calm that they hadn't encountered any other monsters yet.
"Master, could it be that we've entered another terrifying creature's territory?" Xiao Hei's face turned grim, as only powerful monsters resided in areas without any other monsters.
This was because every commanding-level monster had its own territory and didn't allow any other monsters to approach.
"I'm afraid... that's the case," Baili Hongzhuang sighed inwardly. It seemed that there were indeed numerous terrifying monsters in this Battle of Supremacy.
"Everyone, be cautious. We might have entered another monster's territory, and we should be prepared to face them at any moment," Baili Hongzhuang raised her voice. The tree spirit they encountered earlier was already difficult to deal with, and whatever lay in the center of the forest would likely be even more challenging.
Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, Pei Yifan and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. This thought had also crossed their minds, but they had refrained from mentioning it.
However, it was evident that they couldn't continue holding onto such thoughts.
After continuing their journey for a while, Baili Hongzhuang and the others couldn't help but halt their steps.
Before them lay a hazy expanse, with trees shrouded in mist, severely limiting visibility.
Moreover, the range was extensive, completely engulfed in this fog.
"Young Master, this is probably miasma," Long Xuanjing's voice echoed in Baili Hongzhuang's ears. Marshy areas in forests often gave rise to miasma, and they were not unfamiliar with it.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, her wise gaze assessing the miasma. "It seems that if we want to proceed, we'll have to traverse this miasma. Otherwise, all our previous progress would be in vain."
Their progress had never been fast, and if they were to turn back now, the Battle of Supremacy would likely end in failure.
Once these words were spoken, determination appeared on everyone's faces.
