mosquito would certainly know if they retrieve the Ghost Cane back into the Space.
Afterwards, this giant mosquito would certainly be waiting.
Sadly, the Ghost Cane wouldn’t be able to reach the Flower City at that time.

Zhao Hai could release undead or magic beasts while ordering the Ghost Cane to move quickly and proceed on its route.
Unfortunately, there was no way for them to hide against the divine sense of this giant mosquito.
One must know that a Rank Nine magic beast’s divine sense was a lot stronger when compared to a Rank Nine Terran expert.

If they don’t continue forward on this route, then they could only return to Fort Iron Mountain and re-enter the Carrion Swamp.
It would be the same as saying that everything they’d done had all been in vain.

There was also another issue.
If they withdrew now from the Carrion Swamp, then they could not follow the map that Buffy drew afterwards.
If they don’t follow the map, then they would have to erratically change their route and find their way, which might cause them not to be able to reach Flower City[7].

A Rank Nine could live a long life.
Up till now, nobody had calculated up to what age they could live to.
In any case, they could have a thousand children and live up to 800 years of age.
And this was only for Terrans.
As for how long a magic beast could live up to, no one knows.
They feared that when the time came that the Buda clan faced immediate destruction, this giant mosquito would probably still be alive.

If they decided to wait for the giant mosquito to leave before heading to Flower City, then that would be impossible.
Rank Nine experts tended to do close-door cultivation in order to understand the heavens, and to one day find the road to reach the Rank Ten God level.
They can cultivate in any place, and for an unknown amount of time.
Therefore, waiting for the giant mosquito to leave would not be a good option.

Green felt it was strange that Buffy hadn’t encountered this giant mosquito previously, and yet, they had met it this time around.

What Green and the others didn’t know was that the reason this giant mosquito hadn’t appeared back then was due to the threat Buffy represented.
Now, however, there wasn’t any threat so it appeared.

There had been a lot of Rank Nine experts that had ventured into the Carrion Swamp, but most of them weren’t able to reach Flower City.
Most of the Rank Nine experts that explored were killed by the colorful poisoned smog of the Carrion Swamp, and only a very few have ever reached Flower City.

Buffy was unexpectedly lucky during the time he’d explored, thus he’d been able to reach Flower City.
Unfortunately, he had attacked the flower and it’s vines, causing him to be assaulted and chased by Rank Nine experts.
This was the reason why he’d turned back.
He knew how dangerous Carrion Swamp was, so during his return he took the route he’d used when he’d entered.
Later, the Rank Nine experts scattered.
Originally, there weren’t any Rank Nine magic beasts around this area, but after Buffy ran, a Rank Nine expert had stayed to defend the place.
This was the Rank Nine Giant Devouring Blood-Mosquito.

Zhao Hai certainly didn’t know of these reasons[8], so they were worried right now.
If they couldn’t get past the giant mosquito, then there was no way they could reach Flower City.
Without reaching Flower City, they wouldn’t be able to solve the threat of the Carrion Swamp and there would never be peace in the Black Waste.
All of this was interconnected.

Green and the others frowned.
They understood that forcibly rushing through wouldn’t be right.
They didn’t have any Rank Nine experts with them, and Green had previously been severely injured with just one attack from Buffy.
Facing the giant mosquito, which was evidently not weaker than Buffy, and rushing past it would only be courting death[9].

They also weren’t willing to retreat.
Since they had already reached this far and only needed a little more time to reach Flower City, retreating would be a pity.

After some time, Zhao Hai breathed in deeply, turned his head to Green, and said, “Grandpa Green, does this Devouring Blood-Mosquito, being a Rank Nine magic beast, have the intelligence of a human?”

Green nodded and said, “It isn’t that highly intelligent, but they are smarter than most humans.
Young Master, what do you intend to do?”

Zhao Hai replied, “I will go out and have a chat with it[10].
Dragging this matter isn’t a good idea.”

Green was shocked for a moment.
His complexion changed as he said, “No, absolutely not.
Young Master, that is a Rank Nine expert.
Just a little mistake and you’ll die.
You cannot meet with such an accident.”

Zhao Hai knitted his brow and said, “What should we do then? Always waiting isn’t a good idea, and if we retreat then we might not find Flower City in our lifetime.
Then the Black Waste won’t have peace.”

Green frowned as he certainly understood the situation, however, he couldn’t think of a good solution.
In any case, Zhao Hai wasn’t allowed to meet with the giant mosquito as it was too dangerous.

Footnotes:

[1] I kinda wanna see a black robed young mage and an old knight sitting on sofas, flipping through the t.v.
channels…  [2] I honestly don’t know why he keeps taking this back.
It’s basically an indestructible part of the Space.
He could probably throw it at the sun and somehow use the actual sun as a source of energy.
That’s what I would do if I went the tech route of this story, instead of the agricultural route it’s taking…  [3] That battle with Buffy wasn’t close enough? He was literally in your white gloved grip and you even smacked him around a few times…  [4] Where the hell did these guys pop up from…  [5] Again, this is humans.  [6] Just a recap for those who’ve forgotten.
Divine Sense is the ability to view things with your consciousness externally and at a great distance.
Spiritual Sense is internally, significantly less useful.
Rank Nines are the only ones who can use Divine Sense.  [7] Again, that t.v.
of theirs has already uncovered a great deal of fog and should work as a feasible map.
It’s basically impossible to get lost with such a map.
I don’t understand the idea of getting lost when you literally have a minimap that automatically records the terrain…  [8] And we shouldn’t either.  [9] But not their deaths, because, again, they’re inside the space.  [10] I’m pretty sure he could communicate from inside the space.
He did it once when confronting Garan, no? Alien held the cane, he was inside the space… Sighs.
