Gu Qiqi was worried that the small team he led would be occupied with a lot of time and energy to deal with the continuous attacks, thus, they didn’t have more time to find medicine.
For example, they did kill two teams of people who were looking for trouble, but they also wasted half an hour to fight.
If not for these two groups of people causing trouble, the scope of their search for the black spirit ginseng would have expanded by many times.
From the looks of it, they had won, but in the long run, the other party’s goal had been achieved without any change in expression -- they had successfully seized their time and attention by surrounding and annihilating them one after another.
While they were tired of dealing with the battle, those scheming villains had split up another group of people to search for medicine in the medicinal forest!
Even with Gong Jue, a god with great combat strength, it would take time to kill those people in an instant.
