Who exactly is targeting me?
Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart; the thing he was most worried about had finally happened.
Could it be someone from the black market?
Qin Chen secretly activated the Law of Destiny but couldn't deduce the identity of the person. He only vaguely felt that this person was rapidly approaching him.
"We should split up. You all go back to the tribe's camp directly, but remember, don't take a straight route. Take a detour in this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield and make sure to conceal your tracks."
Qin Chen said sternly to the three of them, his expression serious.
The three of them, Citian Qiong, also sensed that something was wrong. Seeing Qin Chen's serious expression, they all became grave.
"My Lord, what exactly is happening?"
Citian Qiong looked at Qin Chen with a tense expression, and Gu Li Mo also stopped joking, his face serious.
"We're being targeted, and the other party is very likely an Earth Venerable expert."
Qin Chen said in a low voice.
Earth Venerable?
Hiss! Instantly, endless horror surfaced in the eyes of the three; an Earth Venerable expert was actually tracking them?
The hearts of the three turned completely cold. An Earth Venerable exists far beyond their capacity to deal with. With such a master, not only could they be killed, but even if that person directly stormed into their main camp, they might not be able to handle them.
Of course, their Bug tribe's main camp had connections between them, and under normal circumstances, a single Earth Venerable wouldn't dare to recklessly invade a tribe's main camp. A small mistake could lead to being surrounded and perishing within, making it not worth the loss.
"Who exactly is the other party?"
Citian Qiong trembled.
How could they have attracted the attention of an Earth Venerable?
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that the other party is targeting me. You all go first, change your position, and head directly back to the main camp."
Qin Chen could only guess that the other party was from the black market, but there was no need to share this with Citian Qiong and the others.
"No, if that happens, my Lord, you'll be in danger. Let us stay behind while you leave first."
Citian Qiong hurriedly said.
If Qin Chen died, even if they survived, they would likely struggle to escape the punishment of Lord Tu Mo Yu from the Demon Tribe. They would all end up dead.
"Listen to me, you all leave first. If I stay behind, perhaps there will still be a chance for everyone to survive, but if you stay, you will definitely die."
Qin Chen said coldly, "This is an order."
Feeling Qin Chen's stern gaze, Citian Qiong and the others felt both moved and frightened.
Qin Chen's status was clearly above theirs, and he should be able to command them to risk their lives for him to buy a chance for survival. Instead, he willingly attracted the attention of that Earth Venerable expert. This kind of magnanimity... in that instant, Citian Qiong and the others even felt an impulse to willingly die for Qin Chen. This impulse was not because of Qin Chen's status, nor out of fear of the Demon Tribe's punishment, but a deep-rooted feeling from their hearts.
"Stop being wishy-washy, leave now, hurry!"
Qin Chen shouted harshly.
He didn't actually want to abandon himself to let Citian Qiong and the others survive. Rather, having them stay behind would be a burden, hindering his retreat. It's better to let them leave first, so that he could seize the opportunity to escape.
"My Lord, take care!"
Citian Qiong and the others looked at Qin Chen, feeling touched. Finally, after a deep breath, they turned and quickly left the area.
In a moment, the three figures vanished into the void.
After seeing the three leave, Qin Chen breathed a small sigh of relief. With Citian Qiong's hidden aura ability, as long as they were given enough time, they would surely return safely to the main camp. The Bug Tribe’s concealment ability was among the best in all tribes; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to ambush Venerable Jue Mountain back then.
