Zou Zhiruo saw Lin Lang walking straight towards her and instinctively frowned.

But the muscular man Wang Tiezhu behind her quickly took a step forward, blocking Lin Lang’s path:

"Stop! What do you want?"

Wang Tiezhu glared with wide eyes, looking down at Lin Lang!

His exaggerated chest muscles were twitching!

Lin Lang calmly glanced at Wang Tiezhu’s information:

[Wang Tiezhu]

[Combat Power: SS+]

[Superpower: Strong (Level 20)]

Lin Lang smiled slightly, leaning forward to speak to Zou Zhiruo behind Wang Tiezhu:

"Miss Zou, you seem very familiar to me..."

Upon hearing this, Zou Zhiruo couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself:

"What a cliché pick-up line!"

Wang Tiezhu also shooed Lin Lang away:

"What nonsense! My lady doesn’t know you! Get lost!"

Lin Lang:

"..."

In fact, Lin Lang was telling the truth.

This Zou Zhiruo should be the granddaughter of Elder Zou from the Special Agent Bureau, who’s abroad!

He had seen Zou Zhiruo’s photo at Elder Zou’s place.

There’s no denying—

The real person is even more beautiful than the pictures!

And surprisingly, she’s a Sword Cultivator!

...

Zou Zhiruo whispered to Wang Tiezhu:

"Forget it, he didn’t say anything..."

And at this moment!

Millian also came over to join the fun—

She grabbed Zou Zhiruo’s arm, winked at her, then looked coldly at Lin Lang and said:

"Mr. Lin, out of respect for Natalia and Xina, I won’t make a move on you, but please don’t bother my friend anymore!"

"We are still in danger; please focus on the task at hand, okay?"

Without further ado!

She first put a label on Lin Lang!

As a result!

A large group of people with them also started to criticize Lin Lang:

"Yeah! What timing, thinking about hitting on girls!"

...

Lin Lang calmly glanced at Millian.

Millian gave him a disdainful smile!

Then she addressed everyone:

"Everyone, stay close; let’s head further into the island, maybe we’ll find a way out."

At this moment.

A leader with such a sense of justice stepping up!

Brought much relief to everyone!

So!

A group of dozens of people carefully began to march towards the depths of the island.

...

Along the way!

Everyone was anxious, their eyes firmly fixed on the surroundings, fearing the appearance of some terrifying monster.

Zou Zhiruo kept watch on the surroundings but couldn’t help glancing at Lin Lang, thinking to herself:

"This person is really strange!"

Lin Lang noticed Zou Zhiruo’s curious gaze and smiled at her!

Zou Zhiruo’s face flushed instantly, hastily turning away!

"Miss! Is that man still bothering you?"

Wang Tiezhu asked in a low voice.

Zou Zhiruo hurriedly said:

"Oh! It’s nothing, why are you bothering with him, just watch the road!"

"Hmph!"

Wang Tiezhu snorted coldly!

Yet he remained highly vigilant, his gaze sharp as an eagle’s, keeping a close watch on Lin Lang.

He stayed right by Zou Zhiruo’s side, like a solid wall, keeping Lin Lang at a distance.

Whenever Lin Lang even slightly attempted to get closer, Wang Tiezhu would subtly shift his body to block his path, his eyes revealing undisguised hostility!

However.

Wang Tiezhu was truly overthinking it.

Lin Lang had no intention of forcibly approaching.

He simply felt Zou Zhiruo was a "familiar face in a foreign land"—

Elder Zou and he got along well.

So Lin Lang was willing to look after his granddaughter.

...

As they ventured deeper into the island, the environment grew increasingly eerie.

The trees were tall and dense, branches intertwining, blocking much of the sunlight, plunging the ground into gloom.

The air was laced with a pungent scent, seemingly some unknown toxin spreading around.

Millian’s brow furrowed slightly; she sensed that the deeper they went, the greater the danger.

Yet she did not retreat, instead encouraging everyone:

"Don’t be afraid, everyone, we’ll definitely find a way out."

Hearing her words, the fear in everyone’s hearts eased slightly, and they continued steadfastly following the group.

...

On this eerie and terrifying path, the group cautiously continued forward. The silence around them was unsettling, broken only by the occasional sound of footsteps and breathing.

Suddenly!

A low growl echoed from the forest ahead.

Soon after!

A horde of twisted figures, radiating malevolent aura, burst from the woods.

They had ferocious faces, eyes glowing with eerie green light, brandishing their claws and rushing toward the group.

"Watch out! It’s demons!"

Millian shouted, and the group immediately tensed up, assuming a battle stance.

Dean waved his black robe, surrounded by black mist, his eyes a hint of ruthlessness, chanting under his breath, and swiftly forming seals with his hands.

"Go!"

Dean shouted, and the black mist instantly transformed into streams of black flames, shooting towards the demons.

The demons howled in pain when hit, their bodies emitting billows of black smoke.

Under Dean’s powerful attack, the demons’ offensive was temporarily suppressed.

Everyone else also joined in, engaging in fierce combat with the demons.

After a fierce battle, through the group’s efforts, the demons were gradually wiped out.

...

After the fight ended.

Zou Zhiruo looked at Dean, filled with curiosity.

"Who is this man in black, how can he possess such formidable abilities?"
