They had noticed that besides Gamora and Nebula, their designated targets, there were other powerful fighters as well. Thus, Little Jie naturally became their newest target.
At this moment, Lorelei, Groot, and the others had already charged into the enemy encirclement, making it difficult for them to come back and provide support.
