The elder reacted with decisive swiftness.
Upon seeing the swarming crowd, he didn't say a word, conjuring up gusts of wind behind him and fleeing far into the distance right away.
"Huh, what's with this guy?!"
Everyone was somewhat baffled.
By the time they came to their senses, the elder had already fled a great distance.
In the end, it was the King-level Puppet Giant Beast that took action. Its massive tendrils waved and pierced through the void, dragging the elder back.
"Who are you! Do you know where this is?! Do you know who this old one belongs to? Release me at once, or none of you will be able to bear the consequences!"
Seeing no way out, the elder suddenly cried out loudly, his tone fierce with question after question, forcibly bolstering his own courage.
But his voice was clearly trembling.
Heaven have mercy.
All he was, was a mere old slave guarding the medicine field.
