In a jungle brush out of sight of both the Blood Mantis and the Wraith Mandrill, Zhen Liu, Zhen Yan, Jin Fang, Rianna and Razorstella, were silently watching the aforementioned aether beasts as they attempted to rip each other to shreds.
As members of a clan that handled aether beasts in a variety of ways, they weren't exactly shocked or perturbed at the pure carnage being displayed at the moment. Rather, they were more worried about the aftermath.
If the Wraith Mandrill won, the fountain would be swarmed by a literal army of death aether aligned monkey aether beasts that, while weak individually, were numerous to the point that their attacks would be able to cause grave injury to the group. Plus, if the Wraith Mandrill managed to consume both the body of the Blood Mantis and the waters of the fountain, it wouldn't be the greatest stretch of the imagination to assume that they would be able to recover back to full even after going through a grueling battle to the death.
