The timeline returns to before Qian Qi and Xu Jinghong left the team.
When Qian Qi and Xu Jinghong sneakily left, preparing to tackle the instance boss, Xi Pingzhe, who had been secretly observing their movements, hesitated only briefly before also sneaking after them.
His Contracted Beast was a Magma Hunting Dog, which could follow the tracks left by the Silver Wolf along the way to stealthily track Qian Qi and Xu Jinghong. However, even though Qian Qi was able to avoid the paths where A-level and B-level Magical Beasts roamed, thanks to the system's guidance, it didn't mean that Xi Pingzhe, who followed them with a time and distance lag, could perfectly avoid the appearance of Magical Beasts.
Sure enough, within a few minutes of following, Xi Pingzhe had the extremely bad luck of being ambushed by a dozen or so Magical Beasts.
