The Green Lizard Priests' efficiency was basically negligible, but when Bolevin made his move, the efficiency of clearing the canyon passage instantly shot to the maximum, and nearly ninety percent of the ruins were dealt with in a short time.
The remaining ten percent wasn't left because there hadn't been time to deal with it. Zhou Xu had deliberately left it there.
As he'd said before, at this stage, having the passage blocked actually allowed him to recover his strength more securely.
Besides, Bolevin, who had just finished the task of "clearing the ruins," also needed some time to recover. After all, high efficiency often meant high consumption as well.
Therefore, for now, he would let the canyon entrance remain blocked.
For Zhou Xu, the ideal situation now was for himself, Bolevin, and Locke—the three Extraordinary Mages—to all recover to their peak condition.
With three Extraordinary Mages stationed there, if the other side dared to summon a Corpse Demon, he would dare to kill it on the spot! Then they could see what other tricks that bunch of green skins could pull!
Of course, that was merely the ideal situation.
