Jiang Fan had no other options; this was the only way forward, as there was no other method to evade the pursuit of these monsters.
For now, they could only wait and see, and when the time was right, they would seize the so-called core and quickly escape from here, returning to Atlantis to deliver the core to the Atlantis Lord.
Compared to the king of this place, the Atlantis Lord seemed more trustworthy.
Although Dai Xiao Mei and the others had managed to come out, under normal circumstances, if it weren't for Zhou Nian Nian and others strongly insisting on coming, the Atlantis Lord would not have allowed them to forcibly enter.
"Do you still need our help with anything? If so, we'll do our best, as long as you don't harm us. Other matters can be discussed."
This child still remembered that Jiang Fan had poisoned them. If Jiang Fan didn't save them, they wouldn't live long, which was why they so readily agreed to help Jiang Fan and the others.
"Don't worry, the poison in your bodies has been cured. No matter how much time passes, you won't die now. However, you must absolutely not reveal our whereabouts, or we won't let this matter go."
This child and his companions now knew how dangerous Jiang Fan was. They understood that they could no longer betray Jiang Fan and the others, otherwise, their lives would surely be forfeit.
Even though they had already died once, if they were to die again, even the most powerful deities couldn't save them.
"Don't worry, we will absolutely not betray you again, and we now know how powerful you are."
"Regarding our encounter with you, we will not speak of it. We will act as if nothing happened. We only hope that you can leave as soon as possible and do not affect our Huaro world."
Jiang Fan's desire to leave this place was immense. If he could leave, he absolutely did not want to stay here any longer. Upon hearing the child say this, he immediately nodded.
"Don't worry, I also don't want to stay here any longer. If we can leave, we absolutely do not want to return here."
Compared to ordinary people or even Atlantis, Jiang Fan would rather deal with the people of Atlantis. After all, he had been in this world of the dead for too long and felt a sense of dread.
What if he suddenly couldn't leave this place? That would be no different from being dead.
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, the mature-looking child immediately said,
"I must remind you of something. Although you can barely survive here now by using the sap of the Other Shore Flower, I can tell you that if you stay here for too long, you will also be eternally sealed here."
"This place is, after all, a world of the dead. If you stay here for too long, you will also become dead."
"You will be affected by the energy here, and by then, you won't be able to leave."
"Everyone here is someone who has died, so you will also be affected by the energy here. If you haven't obtained the core and left here before then, you're finished."
"Of course, if you ask for my recommendation, you can choose to not leave at all and stay here. This is also a very good world, but it's up to you to decide."
Jiang Fan was extremely shocked upon hearing the child's words. So, staying here for too long would also lead to death. He absolutely did not want to stay here and become a dead person, so he immediately perked up.
"Did you hear that? Everyone, we must find a way, or we will be affected by the original inhabitants here, and then we won't be able to leave."
"Or we can cherish our final moments here. After all, even if we die, we will remain here."
Hearing this, Zhou Nian Nian, who was beside him, became weak-kneed with fear. She quickly grabbed Jiang Fan's arm, her arrogant demeanor gone.
"I don't want to stay here! I want to live, I want to go back to the real world and live. Dying here would be too terrifying."
Jiang Fan knew how important this matter was. His earlier statement about staying here was a lie to everyone else, and surprisingly, only Zhou Nian Nian believed him.
"Don't worry, how could I possibly leave everyone here? I want to leave too. I don't want to leave my life here."
At this moment, the child and his companion took out a pile of shell currency from their pockets and then left.
The currency here was shells, and shells could be used to purchase items.
Although the remaining shells weren't a lot, they were enough to keep them fed for a while.
After they used the Other Shore Flower, no one could recognize them.
So, for the time being, they were quite safe.
However, if they didn't find the core, even with this safety, they wouldn't last long.
"What should we do now? Should we stay here, or find a way to leave?"
Yao asked Jiang Fan, who was beside him. Jiang Fan's eyebrows were lowered, and he furrowed his brow before saying to Yao,
"We can neither stay here nor find a way to leave. We must take the core with us before we leave. If we don't get the core, we probably can't leave, and even if we do, we'll be killed by the people of Atlantis."
The fact that they could tell us those things and send us here, and guarantee our short-term survival, proves that they are not people who joke around.
"You know, they evolved from humans, and the biggest characteristic of humans is that they are not as kind as you might imagine."
"To them, we are an alien race, and when they saw us, they were filled with regret. After all, they were once normal people like us."
"Now that they see that we can still live normally on land, they naturally feel very unhappy. If we don't get the core for them, it's estimated that all of us will die at their hands."
