Jiang Fan pointed at the map, his expression calm.
"Taking a detour may take longer, but the demon beasts we encounter might not be as terrifying as those in Ghost Cry Valley!"
"If we encounter ordinary demon beasts, we still have ways to deal with them!"
"But if we run into Soul-Eating Beasts, then it will truly be certain death!"
Lu Song had just briefly introduced the characteristics of the Soul-Eating Beast.
According to the description, the Soul-Eating Beast had many similarities to the Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror Jiang Fan had used to destroy Mo Lou before.
The terror of that Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror devouring divine souls was still fresh in Jiang Fan's memory.
The only difference was this.
The Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror targeted divine souls without physical bodies.
But the Soul-Eating Beast could directly tear divine souls from their bodies and devour them.
For that very reason, the Soul-Eating Beast should be even more threatening than the Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror.
Compared to that, ordinary demon beasts did not seem nearly as terrifying.
Heard this, Lu Song pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Brother Jiang is right. Ghost Cry Valley is far too dangerous!"
"Those Soul-Eating Beasts can launch sneak attacks along narrow mountain paths. With nowhere to hide, we probably would not even withstand a single wave before being devoured clean."
"Though Poison Mist fills Misty Marsh, as long as we are careful, our chances of safety are ultimately much higher!"
Wen Xi, Chen Zhao, and the others exchanged glances, then voiced their agreement as well.
"Brother Jiang is absolutely right!"
"Better take ten extra steps than one dangerous step!"
"The route may take time, but that is still better than walking straight into death!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Fan spoke loudly.
"Good!"
"Then it is settled!"
