"Take him, immediately him!"

Sofia didn't say much, just gave a simple command.

"Kid, if you want to live, you'd better behave yourself..."

The few people immediately surrounded Qin Fang in the middle, threatening him.

"Don't make a move... I'll go with you!"

Qin Fang was even more puzzled. It was clear that this small group had some special purpose, and it seemed likely they intended to use him as a scapegoat.

However, Qin Fang didn't intend to fall out with them until he figured out their real purpose, so he obediently followed them.

It seemed they were also afraid Qin Fang might escape, so they guarded him in the middle, with someone defending each side, making escape impossible.

This was normal, given Qin Fang's displayed strength, just short of Grandmaster Level. Even though he was comparable to several of them, he completely lacked the strength to kill any of them, making escape impossible...

However, they might never have thought that Qin Fang hadn't planned on escaping at all, and even willingly joined their small group.

"Brothers, where are we going? It's late, maybe we should find a place to rest, just in case we run into Hunters..."

Seeing that none of them were talking and just advancing in a certain direction, Qin Fang was completely confused and hesitated before cautiously suggesting.

His words made sense. Who knew if there were still Hunters in this forest? If they encountered any, given the team's strength, none might escape.

"Shut up..."

Unfortunately, the response Qin Fang received was a few cold glares and a low, cold shout, as if they were very displeased with his inquiry.

Seeing he couldn't get any information, Qin Fang stopped asking and quietly continued following the group onward.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang's eyes carefully scanned the surrounding environment, using some special markings to locate his current position.

"This seems to be... heading towards that mountain!"

Though Qin Fang didn't have a map of Devil's Island, he could roughly judge, "Just that, the position seems a bit off..."

At the moment, the six of them were indeed heading towards the central mountain of Devil's Island, but not in a straight direction, rather more to one side.

There was nothing unusual about this. Visually, the mountain was ahead, but how much deviation there actually was, they were completely unaware.

Just from their demeanor, they seemed to have firmly determined a specific position, not changing direction at all, remaining consistent.

"Hide!"

Just as Qin Fang was baffled, Sofia suddenly called out softly ahead.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Immediately, the five of them turned into several shadows, quickly taking cover behind nearby trees or dense canopies.

"If you don't want to die, hide quickly..."

Qin Fang was still standing there, startled, when Sofia's nearly exasperated voice reached his ears.

"Huh?"

This greatly surprised Qin Fang, giving a deep look at this mysterious woman, but his own actions were swift as he immediately burrowed into a nearby bush to hide.

At the same time, Qin Fang's mini-map activated, scouting the surrounding movements. Within at least seventy to eighty meters, there was nothing particularly unusual.

"Hunter?"

But soon, Qin Fang's expression changed as, almost immediately after he went into hiding, a movement trajectory appeared on his mini-map.

Clearly, they encountered a Hunter wandering in the forest, although not overwhelmingly strong, it was still a Late Grandmaster Level, capable of easily killing their entire group.

However, this Hunter was not coming towards them, merely passing through...

Of course, had they proceeded earlier, although they wouldn't have bumped directly into the Hunter, there was a great chance of being detected.

Qin Fang's expression shift wasn't due to fear of the Hunter's appearance but because Sofia managed to detect the danger ahead even before his advanced monitoring system did.

"Is it an innate intuition? Or carrying some instrument?"

Facing such a situation, Qin Fang couldn't help pondering.

A Late Grandmaster Level expert was formidable, but if Qin Fang wanted to escape, he could still flee easily, possibly even outrunning a Grandmaster Peak Strongman!

"Phew~~~ Alright, come out now!"

It was at this strange moment that the Hunter's figure vanished from the mini-map, and Sofia's voice reached his ears, indicating the all-clear!

Hearing Sofia's call, the group emerged from the shadows, the big black man especially looking towards Qin Fang, seemingly worried he might use the chaos to escape.

However, seeing Qin Fang also emerging, although his face revealed nothing, his eyes showed a hint of relief.
