Xu An clenched his fist tightly, "Jingqi, what... what exactly is going on here?"
Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His eyes revealed a hint of determination, yet one could also see the disorder within: "Don't panic, Xu An. We must find a way to survive. But, in this situation, we have no idea what to do."
The two hesitated for a moment, their eyes meeting as if seeking courage and direction from each other. Then, they slowly stepped out from behind the rocks, their steps somewhat faltering, with each step feeling so heavy.
The leader stood at the front of the group, tall and upright, dressed in a black tight suit, with a silver mask covering his face, only exposing a pair of sharp hawk-like eyes. He looked at Shen Jingqi and Xu An, his eyes full of caution, as if seeing two suddenly intruding dangerous figures. He took a step forward, his voice deep and cold: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
