Just like Ma Deru, Pan realized the danger of the situation when he was enveloped by the black mist. At that moment, he made the same choice as Ma Deru, using every defensive means he could think of to securely surround himself. However, Pan was more cautious than Ma Deru. While setting up defenses, he didn't even overlook the ground beneath him, covering it with a dense array of defenses.
