Free Web NovelChapter 1088: Chapter 434 Escape from Predicament
"I must find a way to escape, continuing like this won’t work." Having fought with that group of demigods for a while and repeatedly suffering setbacks due to their various abilities, Zhou Tian had already thought about retreating at that time. After all, with those demigods present, even if he wanted to destroy the corpses in this space, it would be quite difficult. Therefore, instead of wasting time on those demigods, Zhou Tian would rather consider how to safely escape.
After all, no matter how you look at it, those demigods possess considerable strength. If Zhou Tian doesn’t have the necessary tactics, it would be best not to engage in combat with them lightly. Otherwise, if he were to suffer setbacks at their hands, it would clearly be a loss. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Zhou Tian also had to admit, he had initially underestimated those demigods. When he faced them one-on-one and continually gained the upper hand, the situation almost made him forget the strength that those demigods truly represented. It wasn’t until he actually fought with the demigods and they joined forces against him, leaving him with no power to fight back, that Zhou Tian realized, although he had made significant progress, he still wasn’t at the point where he could disregard their collective strength.
Thus, staying in this space would only result in taking a beating, and Zhou Tian was certainly not a masochist. There was absolutely no reason for him to continue staying in that space.
Originally, Zhou Tian’s purpose in coming to this space was to destroy the corpses of gods and demons in the players’ possession. However, seeing the scale of the corpses in this space, Zhou Tian knew it would be somewhat difficult to accomplish this task any time soon. Not to mention the demigods who were watching him like tigers ready to pounce—even without them, Zhou Tian didn’t know how long it would take to clean up this battlefield space. As such, since he couldn’t achieve his goal in the short term and also faced formidable enemies, Zhou Tian’s decision to leave at this moment was indeed the most correct one.
The problem now, however, was that Zhou Tian found it had become rather difficult for him to leave.
Those demigods were troublesome, and Zhou Tian found doing anything challenging due to their obstruction. However, based on Zhou Tian’s strength, although it was very difficult to confront them, he was confident that the demigods would also find it quite difficult to stop him if he decided to flee.
The difficulty now lay in Zhou Tian’s inability to find a safe way out.
The spatial passage Zhou Tian used to arrive here had already been closed early on due to the tactics of the Deity. Now, without that spatial passage, the only one Zhou Tian could see was the one those NPC demigods had used to come here.
But the problem was, Zhou Tian dared not take that passage!
Forget the players, those NPC demigods all came from that spatial passage, and Zhou Tian didn’t even have to think to guess that the other end of that passage must be the NPCs’ lair. In such a case, if Zhou Tian were to really go through that passage, he reckoned it would be almost certain that he would face the true top powerhouses of the NPC faction. And judging by the NPCs’ performance, Zhou Tian didn’t believe that the danger he would face then would be less than what he faced now.
If Zhou Tian stayed in the current space, although he didn’t know how much danger he would encounter, as long as he found the right method, there would eventually be a glimmer of hope. However, if he were to take that passage, it would definitely be a dead end. Thus, the only spatial passage within Zhou Tian’s line of sight seemed impassable as well.
Even more, because of the presence of the Deity, even if Zhou Tian encountered another spatial passage then, he wouldn’t dare to enter it readily, for he couldn’t guarantee that the passage wasn’t purposely created by those Deities to trap him. In such an environment, Zhou Tian wouldn’t dare to act rashly unless he could create his own way out with his own strength.
Given Zhou Tian’s circumstance at that time, he still had to face the threat of a group of demigods, and life was certainly not easy for him in that environment.
Zhou Tian’s difficulties at that time could be said to be too numerous to count. If someone else were in his situation, they would probably believe they were in a desperate place. But in fact, Zhou Tian didn’t have the slightest intention to give up hope. In his mind, he never thought that he had been cornered by the demigods. Even though escape was difficult at the moment, Zhou Tian would not have entered this space without the necessary confidence when he decided to embark on this action.
Now, although Zhou Tian’s situation was worse than he initially imagined, seeing the turn of events, and already preparing to retreat after getting the short end of the stick from those demigods, he did not hesitate to deploy the backup strategy he had prepared at that moment.
"Damn, miscalculated." Initially planning to cut off the players’ potential for future development in one fell swoop, he didn’t expect that the emergence of the demigods and the number of corpses in this space would disrupt his plan. Facing their strong counterattack, he even had to flee, which certainly didn’t sit well with Zhou Tian at that time.
