Meng Chuan fled through the air, with Arigante in pursuit.
The remaining several hundred troops of Heavenly Prefecture Territory witnessed this and lost all courage to fight. Like a startled flock of birds, they took flight and rushed toward the breach in the protective barrier above Bone-Melting Fief.
After all, they were merely an army assembled from natives, not emotionless robots. With their leader fleeing, it was unrealistic to expect them to keep fighting to the death and buy Meng Chuan time to escape.
Meanwhile, the Evolvers of Great Evolution Territory also began to consider retreating.
These Evolvers from Great Evolution Territory were indeed all experts. They had been more than capable of Ambushing Bai Xiaowen; if Bai Xiaowen had possessed only the strength he displayed on Dinosaur Planet, he would certainly have been taken down.
