"Elder Qian, what should we do?" Zhou Zixing frowned and sent Qian Ying a voice transmission across the Flame Passage.
His tone carried a trace of anxiety. There were fewer and fewer martial artists in the Camping Area. If this continued, there would be no need for Black Shadow to make a move; they would collapse on their own, and by then, the entire expedition team might be completely wiped out.
Besides, members of his family were among them. If anything happened to them, it would hurt him too much. Although he had already reached the end of his lifespan, when he had brought the Zhou Family disciples here to explore, he had intended to bring them here and also take them out safely. But so far, only six people were left in the entire Zhou Family team. Losing even one more would be painful.
Qian Ying took a deep breath, his expression grave. After a moment of silence, he slowly replied by voice transmission, "Have those Houtian Layer Ten Martial Artists stop dismantling at once and go back to help the people in the Camping Area defend. The two of us will stay here and personally take apart the wood. We'll dismantle as much as we can and make sure there's enough timber to keep the flames burning."
