But at this point, even if he had other ideas, it was too late, so all he could do now was to bite the bullet and rendezvous with the other party.
However, when he approached the other party, guardedly, they quite naturally provided him with cover. After they met up, the other party didn't take any unusual actions.
The other party's behavior at this time made him feel that the smile they had shown earlier was simply one of genuine relief at being rescued, with no other implications, and that the earlier feeling he had that their smile was eerie could have been an illusion resulting from the intensity of the fight.
However, Dong Tianyu, observing the situation on the ground from the sky with his Divine Sense, noticed a detail.
That was that the Undead surrounding the Hunting Team never got too close to them, regardless of whether the fight was fierce or not; the distance between the Undead and the Hunting Team was always maintained.
