Chen Gu slowly descended, step by step approaching the corpse. Then, gritting his teeth, he turned it over.

PHEW— Chen Gu exhaled and slumped to the ground.

Fortunately, it wasn't one of the Russians. Chen Gu breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel composed enough to carefully examine the bodies. The wounds were startling, seemingly caused by the mauling of wild beasts.

A giant beast?

The Sleeping Ancient Clan could control their giant beasts to kill them. But Chen Gu quickly shook his head. If it were giant beasts, these wounds are too small.

Chen Gu turned and nodded to Gong Shuxu, who stepped forward to walk beside him as they continued tracking.

After that, various traces remained visible along the path, making it easier to follow.

「A few hours later.」

They suddenly stopped. Faint voices drifted from the dense forest ahead.

Gong Shuxu waved his hand over both of them and then signaled to Chen Gu. The two of them headed towards the forest, "openly and honorably" as it were.

After entering the forest, Chen Gu saw a sentry perched on a branch of the third tree to his left.

Equipped with advanced gear and holding an energy burst rifle, he lay in wait, vigilant as a venomous snake. However, Chen Gu and Gong Shuxu walked right under his nose, and he was none the wiser.

Further in, every tree had an electronic eye embedded in it, their various rays sweeping the area, leaving no blind spots.

Gong Shuxu, however, walked past unconcernedly.

The electronic eyes faithfully relayed their movements to the monitoring equipment in the forest camp, but the soldier in front of the equipment seemed oblivious to the two men on the screen.

Even behind him, a powerful Third Energy Level professional was discussing something with two others. He occasionally glanced back at the monitor. Chen Gu and Gong Shuxu were clearly visible on the screen, yet he noticed nothing amiss and continued his conversation.

Chen Gu entered the camp, "strutting confidently," and couldn't help but give Gong Shuxu a big thumbs up. Awesome, this was his easiest infiltration ever.

It sure feels great to have such a powerful backer.

Chen Gu even felt a little excited. If 'The Past of Four Hundred People' featured a high-level Psychological Spy, that would be quite intriguing.

Around the camp, five or six warriors were patrolling, while another seven or eight gathered to eat, casually guarding over a hundred "captives."

These captives were all new talents from this intake, each wearing a special collar that would explode if they attempted to escape.

A little farther away stood a camouflaged tent. A middle-aged woman with a pale, slightly sickly complexion walked out. She paused at the entrance, as if sensing something.

Then she opened her left hand and squinted slightly, concentrating intently.

She suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Heh—a bunch of fools. They've allowed someone to sneak right up to them and haven't even noticed."

The warriors were taken aback. They immediately scrambled to their feet, raising their weapons to search, but though their muzzles swept past Chen Gu and Gong Shuxu several times, none of them identified the pair as enemies or aimed their guns.

From inside the tent, three more professionals burst out. Among them, a Hell Titan roared, his body swelling enormously to over six meters high—definitely Fourth Energy Level!

But the three professionals also failed to locate the enemy.

Mist formed around the middle-aged woman's palm, carrying a hint of chill. With a fierce clench of her hand, the water vapor around Chen Gu and Gong Shuxu instantly condensed into countless extremely fine, sharp ice blades that shot towards them like a storm!

Gong Shuxu realized, "A Sixth Energy Level Glacier Spirit! She used her perception of temperature and moisture to detect two extra people in the camp."

The Hell Titan finally "spotted" the two men. With an enraged roar, he stomped the ground and charged towards Chen Gu, his steps like thunder.

Chen Gu focused his Entanglement Control before him. Although the tiny ice blades were sharp, each one lacked significant power. He managed to stop them all in mid-air.

Gong Shuxu had already locked his gaze on the middle-aged woman. He said to Chen Gu, "Protect yourself! Once I've dealt with this old hag, I'll come help you."

Being called an "old hag" sent the middle-aged woman into a fury. She let out a shrill scream as the surrounding temperature plummeted. Her form transformed into an icy gale, sweeping towards Gong Shuxu.

Before she even arrived, an icy cage had already materialized around Gong Shuxu.

A grave expression crossed Gong Shuxu's face. He slowly opened his mouth and exhaled a mist-like power that spread around him. This was his "Psychological Suggestion Field," his signature ability. Within this field, any living creature would be constantly bombarded with various psychological suggestions.

Clearly, Gong Shuxu didn't dare underestimate his opponent.

Chen Gu was instantly dismayed. No way, is this pillar of support going to crumble so quickly?

The Fourth Energy Level Hell Titan charged forward. Along the way, he casually uprooted a small tree as thick as an arm and hurled it like a javelin at Chen Gu.

The other two professionals sneered in unison, attacking from the left and right.

The one on the left pressed his hands downwards. Two streams of particles surged from his palms, transforming into two particle rivers that lifted his body steadily into the air. He was a Starwind Commandant.

The one on the right slowly spread her arms. A dense cluster of fine electric sparks appeared around her, writhing on her skin like tiny snakes. She also flew into the air, even faster than the Starwind Commandant. This was a Charge Dominator.

Chen Gu inwardly groaned. A tank on the ground and two kiters in the sky. How am I supposed to fight this?

The surrounding warriors clearly had great confidence in the professionals. They herded all the captives to a distance, quietly waiting for the intruding enemies to be slain.

The leader of the warriors was a battle-hardened old mercenary with extensive experience cooperating with professionals. He quickly assessed the situation and relaxed, telling his men, "Don't worry."

"Although that old man is also Sixth Energy Level, he's a Psychological Spy and not skilled in direct combat. He's certainly no match for Her Excellency Lan Bingyu."

Gong Shuxu heard this and seethed with anger. Even a mere mercenary harbors such a shallow 'misunderstanding'! We Psychological Spies must redeem our reputation! The road ahead is long and arduous!

"That young one... he's a Quantum Wizard. That class is tricky, but he's only Third Energy Level. The three Lords Baotianmo are at the same Energy Level as him. With their numerical superiority and coordinated teamwork, it'll take five rounds at most to send him to his doom!"

The old mercenary spoke with absolute certainty, fully confident in his judgment. This confidence also infected his subordinates and influenced the captives.
