At this moment, there wasn't any time for grievances. Both parties spotted each other from over two hundred meters away. Team Demon was concealed within a dense thicket, ample enough to hide a person, whereas the six members of Team China approached from the streets, with no cover around them. Geographically, Team China was at a clear disadvantage. However, the mental states of both groups were vastly different. Team Demon only wanted to escape, their hearts filled with fear even at the thought of being forced to fight. Team China, on the other hand, had come prepared to risk their lives as bait, so the prospect of dying wasn't much of a concern for them; they might as well fight with all their might.
Not all six shared this sentiment, though. Anck-Su-Namun became panicked upon realizing she was bait, her eyes darting around in search of shelter, until Zhang Lan's words reassured her to stay put.
