470: Yes, my boss is Gu Qinghan.

While he was waiting, he had been brewing his emotions, and his performance during the escape was also flawless.

He had even been an actor for a period before, and his performance just now was undoubtedly the most brilliant and perfect of his life.

Why could that person see through his intentions?

He trembled all over, wanting to escape immediately, but felt his legs turn soft, unable to perform that simple action for a moment.

So, he took a deep breath, wanting to check on his teammates' situation.

His head quickly popped out, then immediately retracted, to prevent being headshot by an Archer hidden in the dark.

Just that brief glimpse sent a chill through him, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

In the spot where he had been standing, only one person remained, standing blankly.

There was a noticeable wet patch on that person's pants, soaking the light-colored fabric a darker shade.

Around him, four people lay on the ground, twitching, yet without wounds on their bodies, only yellow electric arcs flickering.

As for the other two, one had half his head missing, and the other had a slightly trembling arrow embedded in his chest.

The previous attack had directly scared one person senseless, killed two, and incapacitated four.

He had originally thought that the Archer's previous attacks were already the strongest, but he didn't expect the opponent to only now reveal his fangs.

I must run, I must run!

An incredibly strong will to survive surged within the Shield-bearing Man, and he forcibly stood up from the ground.

He turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.

But at that moment, he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, even dropping the shield in his hand to the ground.

Because in front of him, a figure slowly emerged from behind a pillar, a longbow slightly lowered in his hand, yet carrying a deadly danger.

The Shield-bearing Man couldn't understand why this Archer would appear in this direction.

This was the direction he had thought for a long time was the safest; why was it like this?

The suddenly appearing man slowly raised his head; a hideous scar ran from his face to his neck, adding to his terror.

"No... impossible..."

The man bent down to pick up his shield, but his unfocused eyes already indicated that his inner defenses had been shattered.

But the moment he grasped the shield, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, followed by a great force that sent him tumbling.

He fell to the ground in a disheveled state, his first reaction being to look behind him.

However, there was no one there at all, except for two somewhat stunned injured people on the ground and his original teammates.

Just then, he saw an arrow swiftly pass before his eyes, striking the person who had been scared senseless, a fatal blow to the throat.

At this, he instantly understood.

This arrow had made no sound, including the arrow that had just hit him.

This Archer, hidden in the dark, could attack silently, yet had been constantly misleading them with the sound of rushing wind before.

He abruptly looked in the direction of his teammates and then realized that there were several arrows shot into the ground near them.

"So that's how it is..."

The Shield-bearing Man suddenly laughed somewhat maniacally; he understood everything.

No wonder his seven teammates were instantly subdued; it turned out the sound of rushing wind had attracted their attention.

One could guess without thinking that the other side from which the sound of rushing wind came was the real attack, capable of threatening them!

But they had no chance, for the scarred man had already raised his bow and arrow again.

No sound was emitted, and the Shield-bearing Man felt a pain in his brow, then his vision shifted upwards, seeing the somewhat hazy sky.

Before his consciousness gradually dissipated, he heard footsteps passing by him.

The two Professionals from Hua Nation lying on the ground were now dumbfounded; although they had also guessed that there was only one person attacking from the shadows, they were still shocked when they actually saw him appear.

Especially those silent arrows; they were simply the nightmare of all ranged Professionals.

Right, this person's arrows seemed to even curve... Why would such an existence save them?

The scarred man shot and killed all the Plunderers with arrows, then looked at the two Professionals from Hua Nation.

Instantly, both of them instinctively recoiled; the scenes they had just witnessed had simply been too shocking for them.

"From the Hua Nation military zone? Which Gathering Place?"

Suddenly, the man asked the two a question, which instantly relaxed their tense nerves considerably.

There was no killing intent in his words; instead, they seemed to carry a hint of friendliness.

Moreover, his gaze seemed to be fixed on the red armbands tied to their arms.

Could it be that a powerful expert from some military zone had offered assistance after discovering their identities?

The fallen man forcibly stood up and said weakly:

"We are from the Shangjing military zone... May I ask which military zone's general you are?"

He asked directly like this because he believed that only a general-level figure from the military zone would possess such powerful strength.

But to his surprise, the scarred man shook his head and said:

"I am not from any military zone; I am from Whale Fall City.

Our boss said that if we encounter compatriots from Hua Nation, we should help them if we can.

Especially those from Shangjing Base, we should help them to the best of our ability."

Hearing these words, the two Professionals from Shangjing Base suddenly exchanged glances.

Whale Fall City... "Whale Fall City! Are you referring to General Gu Qinghan's Whale Fall City?"

The man's tone suddenly became excited, even causing his wounds to throb faintly.

"Yes, my boss is Gu Qinghan.

I almost forgot to mention, my name is Lu Chengfeng."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, but the scar on his face made him appear somewhat terrifying.

Especially his act of killing an entire small team by himself just now made his every action seem filled with an aura of danger.

Lu Chengfeng, however, didn't care what others thought; he collected the storage rings of all ten people, then examined their contents.

"These people, their storage rings only contain a small amount of food and water, and then some recovery items?"

Lu Chengfeng's brows furrowed tightly; he instinctively felt that this was somewhat abnormal.

The injured captain first helped his companion up, then slowly walked over and said:

"These people suddenly appeared on the first day we entered the secret realm, and their attacks were clearly aimed at killing us.

If it weren't for the demon potions and demon equipment giving me a chance to resist, we would probably be dead already."

At this point, he took a slight breath before continuing:

"I feel like they had been lying in wait for a long time, specifically waiting for us to appear.

Their target is not the monsters in the secret realm at all; it's highly likely they are after the Professionals who enter the secret realm."
