Fourth Order Kang Guiying & Cursed Healer Xia Ya (Part 2)
Bai Zemin made sure that everyone backed up to the edge of the large stone square but did not allow anyone to leave the perimeter where the magic circle was located because while no one was sure how the circle worked it was clear that the only reason the mutant beasts and plants did not approach was due to some particular rune that probably released some kind of fragrance or wave that the non-rational beings did not like.
Currently, the human group was deep in one of the forests of the entire mountain range so there was definitely a lot of First Order and maybe even some Second Order existences roaming the area. If they left the safe area it would be a matter of time before they became food for the giant beasts.
Even so, the group had spread out among the buildings in the square so that those more evolved could clearly see what would happen during the battle that was to come.
Of course, it wasn't as if they all listened to Bai Zemin and retreated.
