The number of monsters chasing the surviving humans suddenly increased, making Zhi Yue and the others worry that their current manpower would not be enough to handle them all, especially since there might be Bosses among the monsters—and more than one or two at that.
"There shouldn't be any Ancient Demon Gods among the monsters chasing us. After all, with our current strength, we wouldn't be able to deal with them. The system wouldn't issue a mission that was guaranteed to fail," Ye Luo said gravely. After a brief pause, he continued, "Even if there are Bosses, there won't be many. We still have a good chance of trapping them all with the Spatial Barrier."
"Let's hope so." Although she did not sound very confident, June Flying Snow knew things would likely turn out as Ye Luo had said, and her expression relaxed considerably.
"But even if there aren't any Bosses, won't we still be overwhelmed if the number of monsters increases drastically? Especially since more players have been giving up on the mission as time passes. The number of players still escorting them is only thirty or forty percent of what it was at the start," Zhi Yue pointed out.
"That's not a problem at all. Even if every player other than those from our alliance gives up the escort mission, it won't matter," Ban Ye Shu said dismissively. Seeing Zhi Yue's confusion, he did not keep her in suspense and explained directly, "If a huge number of monsters really come after us, we can use teleportation skills or Mass Teleport Scrolls to bring over a large number of players. Although they can't receive system rewards because they didn't accept the mission earlier or weren't qualified to accept it, they can still come help us deal with the monsters.
