"Correct." Luo Hongchen nodded his head, reluctantly accepting the reality. He didn't want to return in such a bedraggled state, but as things stood, the closer they got to Zi You Valley, the more dangerous it became.
They had left the hotel just a day and a half ago, and Zi You Valley was still far off, yet they had already encountered danger after danger, each more perilous than the last.
If they kept going like this, he estimated they wouldn't even make it to Zi You Valley; they'd likely lose their lives along the way.
In his view, it would be better to turn back now, abandon the plan for the time being, and make more thorough preparations before setting out again with a reinforced team of elites.
Seeing Luo Hongchen wanting to return, Ruan Shengnan hesitated. She really wanted to reach Zi You Valley, but the dangers they had faced in the past two days were indeed too great. Perhaps it was a better choice to go back and regroup.
