Ren Zhong: "Hmm. I'm leaving now."
"Go, go."
After Ren Zhong really left, the pretending-to-sleep Ju Qingmeng opened her eyes again.
She felt something was off, as if Ren Zhong's way of speaking was strange.
He had conflicts with Lin Wang, but things weren't bad enough to warrant this.
Why was he talking like he was giving last words now?
...
That afternoon, the team encountered an unexpected situation in the abandoned mine pit.
It wasn't that they ran into a Ruined Beast they couldn't beat, but they encountered another of the three professional teams in the town.
The two sides met at a pit node in the mid-upper area.
Ren Zhong and the other side were both targeting a Level Four Ruined Beast.
Both sides advanced from opposite sides of the pit toward the same point. As they prepared to attack the beast, they simultaneously noticed each other's presence and unanimously chose to stop, making the atmosphere strangely confrontational.
