"Captain, why are they taking so long?"
East City District. The people from Tirisfal Academy were resting in place as they waited for Demon Star and the others to return, but nearly an hour had passed without seeing a single person.
Demon Edge did not answer. His expression grew solemn.
Demon Star was highly mobile. Since he could travel through shadows, he could bypass many types of terrain directly, making him even more convenient than flying. He should have been able to catch up with Gou Dan.
"Luo Luo, is the connection still down?"
Luo Luo also looked solemn. "Yeah. It still hasn't connected!"
Earlier, Gou Dan had suddenly run off, and Demon Star had chased after him. To prevent the team's position from being exposed, Demon Edge had told Luo Luo to cut the Mind Link first. After all, a long-distance connection made it easy for others to discover both parties' positions.
Logically speaking, as long as Demon Star caught up with Gou Dan, he should have tried to restart the connection. Even if he did not bring Gou Dan back directly, he should at least have reestablished the connection and sent them his coordinates.
But he hadn't.
"Could Xiao Jia have run too fast, leaving Demon Star unable to keep up? Captain, you know that once Xiao Jia gets going, even giving Demon Star a Vitality Booster wouldn't let him catch up." Simon tried to make his tone sound as relaxed as possible.
But his words did not lighten the mood within the team.
Everyone knew that even if Demon Star could not catch up, he would leave a mark whenever he reached a location, then send them the coordinates through the Mind Link.
Yet he had not. An hour had passed without any intention of contacting them.
