Chapter 1053: Indecision
Only after flying for close to half a day did everyone finally escape from the swarm of Fire Age Fireflies, and they descended onto a nearby hill to regroup.
Even though everyone had concealed their own physical auras under Su Anqian's instructions, some people were still caught by the Fire Age Fireflies during this time, and everyone else could only look on helplessly as those unfortunate individuals were incinerated by the flames of time.
Up to this point, the crisis had been avoided, but everyone still had looks of lingering fear on their faces from the close call.
At this moment, Han Li was seated with his legs crossed on his own, while Su Anqian was standing on an elevated vantage point, looking back at the distant horizon.
The vast swarm of Fire Age Fireflies was slowly flying away in that direction, and only upon seeing this did she allow herself a sigh of relief.
"Thank heavens Celestial Maiden Su is familiar with the properties of these Fire Age Fireflies. Otherwise, this place may have become everyone's final resting place," Valley Master Fu said as he turned to Su Anqian with a grateful expression.
"You're far too kind, Valley Master Fu," Su Anqian replied in an indifferent manner.
"There really is peril at every turn in this pagoda. I shudder to imagine what else could possibly be waiting for us up ahead," Valley Master Fu said with a wry smile.
"Come to think of it, Fellow Daoist Shi, you were the first one to run away after spotting the swarm of Fire Age Fireflies. Could it be that you've already encountered those things before?" Su Anqian suddenly asked as she turned to Han Li.
Everyone else also turned to Han Li with accusatory looks of derision upon hearing this.
"If you knew, then why didn't you warn us, Fellow Daoist Shi? Were you trying to get all of us killed?" Jin Liu asked in a cold voice as he glowered intently at Han Li, and looks of animosity appeared on everyone else's faces as well upon hearing this.
