If Xu Huo weren't present, the four rescue team members might have considered getting the old man out first, but Xu Huo clearly intends to take the old man to another district. With conflicting interests, they can't act rashly, or else they'll end up repeating the earlier situation—and in fact, it's proven that dealing with Xu Huo and his companion isn't easy.
Fortunately, there are no new arrivals in this area. They follow Xu Huo's trio from a distance, occasionally using props to block a few demon head masks.
The demon head masks' attack power hasn't been weakened, and their instruments have a high attrition rate. Sometimes the props they release are lost as well. Even with good preparation and government support, the rescue team can't afford to use instruments and props without restraint, so sometimes they have to get hands-on themselves.
