Seeing the sea waves sink into the rift, Wang Tao in his Shadow State finally let out a sigh of relief.
He had exhausted all his means. If the sea waves pursued him, there was no way he could win. Of course, whether the sea waves could catch up was also questionable; in the Shadow State, he was incredibly fast.
However, when Wang Tao arrived at the place where he had stationed his team earlier, his heart sank immediately.
The space was utterly empty—no one in sight. Yet, there were traces of flames burning.
"Where is everyone? Could the earlier battle have involved them? This… this can't be such bad luck, right?"
Just as Wang Tao reverted from the Shadow State, Han Rui's voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Wang Tao, can you hear me? Is your battle over? Don't scare me..."
Besides Han Rui, the voices of several other women also came through.
"I'm fine. Still alive. Where are you guys? Are you safe?"
Wang Tao replied instantly.
