An undeserved calamity, a terrifying leap in strength!

Inside the Cave at the foot of the mountain, its entrance blocked by a boulder, Zhou Changqing watched everything happening nearby through the gap between the rock and the Cave mouth.

In fact, the moment he saw the mercenary group escorting the snake-woman pass by, Zhou Changqing had already suppressed his aura as much as he possibly could.

Yet that black-robed snake-woman could actually sense him clearly from several hundred meters away!

Zhou Changqing was starting to lose his composure!

So all that effort hiding my aura was for nothing?

Could this get any more ridiculous?

The instant the black-robed snake-woman looked his way, Zhou Changqing punched the boulder blocking the entrance without the slightest hesitation!

With a thunderous boom, his terrifying force sent the boulder hurtling outward!

If I don't run now, when will I?

Unleashing Thunderclap Step, Zhou Changqing wreathed himself in lightning and vanished from the cave entrance in a streak of electric light!

Bang!

After flying several dozen meters, the boulder exploded, revealing Ling Sha's black-robed figure. Her brows knitted as she watched the figure race away amid sparks and lightning.

Then dou qi surged around Ling Sha, and she turned into a blue-violet blur, giving chase.

"Return to the tribe first. Once I've dealt with this person, I'll come back."

Ling Sha's voice rang clearly in the ears of every snake-woman on the muddy path nearby.

The rescued snake-women were at a loss and turned toward the three Da Dou Shi who had accompanied Commander Ling Sha.

"The commander is a high-level Dou Ling. She won't be in any danger. Besides rescuing you, we also came here to transport water.

"Let's return to the tribe first. The commander might even get back before we arrive."

One of the black-robed snake-women nodded, then led everyone east.
