Truth be told, the Corpse Demon's idea then was very straightforward. It realized it couldn't possibly outrun Zhou Tian. Escaping from Zhou Tian's grasp seemed near impossible. However, if Zhou Tian met with several obstructions whilst pursuing him, the Corpse Demon confidently thought that catching up wouldn't be easy for Zhou Tian.
If that particular zone had only been occupied by him and Zhou Tian, the Corpse Demon believed that it would have been challenging to realize his plan. The issue was, however, that the Corpse Demon was facing Zhou Tian in single combat at the front line, flanked by countless monsters eagerly watching their duel.
Although the Corpse Demon was not keen on losing, a poor performance could potentially lead to a complete collapse of the smaller monsters in the rear. Regardless, if one didn't consider the subsequent impacts and only focused on escaping, the group of smaller monsters could indeed be a lifesaver for the Corpse Demon.
