Chapter 156

Quick, stop them!

The three leaders reacted quickly as well, knowing to seize his illness to take his life, they immediately directed the still-able players to give chase.

More than twenty switched from defense to offense, each exerting 120,000% of their strength, ready to vent the frustration of being trapped here.

However, these people were too scattered; although the wild monsters around here had their attention drawn by Chen Shicheng's wild ghost, their numbers were still too great, posing a certain hindrance, making it indeed difficult to catch up with the unattackable old Russian.

Finally, despite their utmost effort, they only managed to kill two and capture one alive; the rest, under the cover of the wild monsters, escaped everyone's sight.

Chen Shicheng, after killing the highest-level person, stood among the wild monsters as the Slay Immortal Grand Formation was activated, and began a massacre against the surrounding monsters of comparable level to him.

Soon, under the assault of the blade aura, the wild monsters also came to know fear, whimpering as they turned and fled in droves; even the support troops attacking them offered no resistance.

Several thousand wild monsters quickly dispersed completely, and in the chaos the support troops beat the captured old Russian player soundly, then trussed him up fivefold and had a dedicated person guard him.

As for this, Chen Shicheng remained silent throughout, merely watching coldly from the sidelines.

He is no longer a consultant of the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department, but a passing expert; he cannot intervene in such a simple disappearance, he must maintain the demeanor of an expert, especially with Chen Long here as the comic foil.

After the others had routed the enemy and scattered the magical beasts, they each let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Chen Shicheng with awe and doubt, hesitating whether to step forward and speak.

The players who entered the Earth Immortal Realm through the passage, though they did not know each other, could at least recognize each other's faces; this person definitely did not come in together with them.

Furthermore, national troops were guarding outside the passage, so where did this person come from, and are they friend or foe? Chen Long didn't have that many thoughts; after the battle ended, he ran to Chen Shicheng's side under everyone's gaze, first examining the wounds on the corpses on the ground, then staring at the Evil Ghost Mask twice, before asking emotionally.

"Great Master Rat, did you come specially to save me?"

"You're overthinking it."

"I just knew, Great Master Rat came to save me!" Chen Long remained immersed in his own world.

"Aren't you disgusting?"

Chen Shicheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, moved two steps to the side, wanting to stay away from this idiot; the expert demeanor he had painstakingly cultivated was completely ruined by him.

"Sir, thank you for your rescue!"

At that moment, the three team leaders exchanged a glance, then walked over together, first nodding in thanks, after which the person from the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department cautiously inquired.

"May I ask which guild sent you to support? I don't know if it's convenient to reveal your ID."

What troubles these three the most is this point: although Iron Blood Great Wall has many members, they don't all know each other, yet they all know the most basic means, and no one possesses this means.

Although they had been saved a life, not knowing the rescuer's identity, they could only steel themselves to ask.

As for whether there is an intention to sound them out, that's a matter of perspective: the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom.

"Captain, rest assured, this is a top-tier player I know, unaffiliated with any guild, who came specially to save me after learning I was in danger!" Chen Long stepped forward and explained.

Great Master Rat was brought to the gathering by Shuigu Tang, having stated he was a lone player and always wearing a mask, surely not wanting to expose his identity. Therefore, whether to help smooth things over or to give himself some glory so he'll have something to talk about when picking up girls later, he wants to demonstrate his presence here.

"Is that so."

The three team leaders gave Chen Long a meaningful look, full of pride.

A sudden lone-player expert who could even rival the experts of Iron Blood Great Wall—who would have thought that among lone players there exists such high strength, truly experts among the populace.

As for this oddly speaking Chen Long, the team leader of the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department has already considered whether to give him extra responsibilities upon returning, recognizing such a powerful expert yet not reporting him—how great it would be if he could be recruited into the organization.

Too bad, those two rascals already know about it!

He glanced warily at the two team leaders beside him, only to meet their equally wary gazes.

Alright!

What more responsibilities to add? Back at base I'll deduct his month's wages! "You'd better not waste time; although that person earlier misunderstood my identity, they are indeed reinforcements." Chen Shicheng said to the support troops wanting to rest on the spot.

"Do they really still have reinforcements?" The three team leaders hastily perked up their ears, asking anxiously.

Right now the expert's side is still in a stalemate, unaware of the situation; our side is still wounded and crippled, if the enemy truly still has reinforcements, then this mission will indeed become perilous.

"Hmm, on my way here I encountered a level-27 monk, a native of the Great Cloud Temple; although I dispatched him handily, I can't guarantee there aren't others." Chen Shicheng explained.

"We... we'll set out immediately."

Chen Shicheng spoke lightly, but the three listened with pounding hearts; casually slaying a level-27 native monk, the speaker's player may level up quickly, yet in strength there is a great gap compared to cultivators from orthodox sects, let alone the opponent being level 27, already exceeding the current known highest-level player by two tiers.

To kill the opponent, the prerequisite is having the ability to prevent them from fleeing; thus even if taken out by trickery, the killer's strength must be comparable to the opponent's.

Just what level is this expert before us?

Upon thinking this, the three's expressions instantly became even more reverent, on par with Chen Long just now.

Although Chen Long was also surprised, having seen him twice before and being relatively familiar, he was actually less shocked than the three, and unexpectedly noticed the keyword "native"! "Great Master Rat, you just said the Silent Council has native cultivators?"

The three beside him also reacted instantly, their faces filled with shock.

Indeed, as everyone knows, the Silent Council, though causing trouble everywhere and making itself a KB faction, is thought by all to be composed of real-world players.

But just now the expert said that the Silent Council actually contains native cultivators.

"That's right, the Silent Council isn't pure; it may have joined forces with native cultivators."

Chen Shicheng also felt some emotion saying this; even back in Huanglong Jun city he knew the Silent Council had once teamed up with natives, but he had only thought it was in the game.

Who could have imagined that these people would actually go berserk helping the natives plot in reality! (End of chapter)
