A confrontation that might have erupted into a fierce battle ended before it began, and in a way Yang Yi had never expected, leaving him dumbfounded.
"What are they doing?
Who hired these actors?"
Yang Yi couldn't help complaining as he looked at the crystal ball's Sea Chart, momentarily at a loss.
The chart showed all the enemy ships retreating, with the Nightmare Star chasing behind them. At first glance, it almost looked as though the Nightmare Star was driving them away.
They were retreating in such a hurry that they couldn't even maintain formation, as though some terrible beast were chasing them.
In the end, Su Na was the one who noticed something was off.
She and Cui Xiya had both woken up, their conditions unchanged from before they used the Crystallization Potion. Only Su Na's right shoulder showed signs of crystallization, while Cui Xiya was far worse off, having already lost the use of her lower limbs.
"They're all wearing matching silver protective suits, as if they're guarding against the Death Plague. They might be retreating in such a hurry because they don't want to catch crystalline disease."
Su Na lowered the optical telescope in her hands as she spoke.
