As they delved deeper, Fire Rock Beasts appeared more and more frequently. At first, the beasts appeared one by one, but now they came in groups of three or four. At this point, Ye Qingchen could no longer just stand by and would join the others in the fight.
Whether intentionally or not, the other three would always leave one Fire Rock Beast for Ye Qingchen to face alone. Initially, after finishing his own fight, Zhao Jiehui would still help Ye Qingchen. But as more Fire Rock Beasts appeared, Zhao Jiehui had to face two or three at once and naturally couldn't look after Ye Qingchen anymore.
As for Zou Mei's trio, even if the three of them were fighting just two Fire Rock Beasts, they would never help Ye Qingchen.
