Unable to find the treasure, they had no face to return.
So, they waited.
Firstly, they were there for the treasure hunt. Moreover, they still harbored a sliver of hope.
That hope was that the middle-aged man, the blood-colored monster, and the woman in white would all perish together, or at least be gravely injured.
If that happened, they would have a chance to strike back.
So, they had to wait.
These people did not leave but gathered in small groups according to their own forces to recover and heal their wounds.
Especially Tianfeng Qilang, who was severely injured, having been hit by a Heaven Rank master, was lucky not to have lost half his life.
Therefore, the martial artists from the Island Nation and South Korea all carefully deployed their strongest defenses,
afraid of a surprise attack.
Thankfully, the others were wounded too. For the moment, none had the inclination to launch a sneak attack.
