"Bang!"
A dull sound echoed as the Humpback's "Camel" raised a three-meter-thick earthen wall from the ground, blocking the giant rat's advance.
Then, the others began casting spells from different directions, diverting the giant rat's attention, leaving it unable to choose a precise target amidst its fury.
About ten meters behind the earthen wall raised by the "Camel," Xizhe stood with his back to the giant rat, lightly adjusted his mask, bent over, and deeply bowed towards an unseen direction.
Bowing once, twice, thrice.
He seemed to be pleading for something, looking solemn.
After finishing his third bow, Xizhe turned back around, peering at the giant rat through the holes in the Black Iron Mask. His entire aura had changed, becoming deep and enigmatic.
A gust of wind rose around him, causing Xizhe's graying hair to flutter in the breeze, and his clothes to press tightly against his skin from the airflow.
