After expressing gratitude, the professionals from the Bimap Nation withdrew.
Hidden Dragon was also preparing to leave the area with his dozen teammates.
Just at that moment, suddenly, "whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh", countless sharp arrows rained down from the sky.
Hidden Dragon and his teammates were caught off guard and were swallowed by the sudden arrow storm.
These arrows all carried the power of frost, evidently a control-type skill used by archer professions: Ice Arrows.
Under the washing of Ice Arrows, the dozen people were all frozen.
In the next moment, a large group of professionals charged in from all directions.
These professionals were none other than those from the [Connor] Nation who had just been driven away by Hidden Dragon and the others.
Leading them, the Black warrior Madison looked at the frozen Hidden Dragon, snorted coldly and said, "Did you really think that just because you're from the Dragon Nation, I wouldn't dare touch you? Ruined our plans, now you all go to hell!"
"When you're dead, the resources on those Bimap people earlier will still be ours!"
As he spoke, Madison pointed at Hidden Dragon and gave a soft shout, "Use Death Mark, kill them!"
His nearby underlings all lit up Death Marks, targeting the warriors, then grabbed their weapons and charged at Hidden Dragon and his team.
Just then—
ROAR!
Accompanied by a dragon's roar a scorching dragon flame descended from the sky, engulfing the group of Connor warriors approaching Hidden Dragon and his team in a sea of fire.
An AOE damage of over 200 million instantly burned them all into white light.
Yet Hidden Dragon and his team, also standing in the sea of fire, were completely unharmed.
This scene shocked Madison so much his eyes bulged.
The next moment, the huge body of a three-winged Armageddon black dragon descended heavily before their eyes.
Seeing the familiar dragon, Madison's expression changed drastically, "N-Necromancer, Zero!"
Looking over, sure enough, Zhang Yue was standing there silently at the side, no one knew when he had appeared.
Seeing the strongest promoted professional of the Dragon Nation, who once single-handedly wiped out the main forces of seven major nations, defeated an epic-tier beast tide, and solo-killed a pseudo-king level boss, Madison nearly died on the spot from fright.
Having his ambush on Dragon Nation professionals seen by Zero, Madison naturally knew how serious the consequences were.
His first reaction was to kneel directly to Zhang Yue, "G-god, I was wrong! I really was wrong!"
The others also knelt down to beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yue was no saint, nor was he as generous as Hidden Dragon.
If they had met Zhang Yue instead of Hidden Dragon at the beginning, they would have already been reincarnated by now.
Facing the pleas of the Connor Nation professionals, Zhang Yue said coldly, "Too late."
As he finished speaking, a shadow shot into the crowd like lightning.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a flash, hundreds of people on the field were all marked with a slash.
The next second, they all perished under a critical hit damage of over 1 billion.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of beams of white light soared into the sky at the same time, illuminating the entire Death Territory.
Among them, many were mixed with starlight.
10% of them were directly punished with permanent death by the Demon Contract.
At the place where the white light faded, stood the silhouette of the Apex Predator.
Behind him, the rescued Hidden Dragon and his teammates looked at their savior, Necromancer Zero, with expressions of shock mixed with endless joy.
"God Zero! I didn't expect to meet God Zero here!"
"Oh my god! God Zero, I'm your idol, ah no, you're my fan!"
Like a bunch of little fanboys.
Only Hidden Dragon didn't act as exaggeratedly as his teammates.
He simply expressed normal gratitude to Zhang Yue, "Thanks, brother. I was careless just now. Didn't expect they'd double back for a surprise attack. If I hadn't been controlled, I could've wiped them all myself."
"Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself," Zhang Yue glanced at Hidden Dragon and said only this.
He was about to leave.
Hidden Dragon suddenly asked, "Brother, you're preparing to conquer the Gate of Immortality, right?"
"When the activation progress bar of the Gate of Immortality suddenly began to rise dozens of times faster, I knew, it was you," Hidden Dragon approached Zhang Yue and said, "Can I go with you to conquer the Gate of Immortality?"
"Let's go separately," Zhang Yue said, "Teaming up doesn't mean much to me."
"I can help you. Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back," Pausing for a moment, Hidden Dragon suddenly said something that Zhang Yue couldn't refuse: "Besides, I've been into the Gate of Immortality in more than ten worlds. I know most of the layout inside. If you take me, I can be your personal navigator!"
"You think I don't know that the rule of the Gate of Immortality is that a person can only enter once?", Zhang Yue looked at Hidden Dragon with an expression as if looking at a fool.
But Hidden Dragon said confidently, "The first time I entered the Gate of Immortality, I found an item inside. That item gave me multiple chances to enter the Gate of Immortality."
As he spoke, Hidden Dragon took out a scroll. The scroll's effect clearly allowed two additional entries into the Gate of Immortality.
The map of the Gate of Immortality is huge by itself.
After merging with the Death Territory over here, the area became even bigger.
Although Zhang Yue was incredibly powerful, without clear targets, if he rushed into the Gate of Immortality blindly, he might find it difficult to locate the Resurrection Divine Stone.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yue agreed to Hidden Dragon's request, "I'll take you, but the things you want, you have to fight for them yourself."
"Of course!", Hidden Dragon said, "When the Gate of Immortality opens, professionals from all nations in this world will pour in. If I go in alone, the competition will be too fierce. I don't want to tangle with professionals from other countries. If I go with you, I can avoid this problem altogether. When they see you, they'll run far away, they wouldn't dare fight you!"
"So, you protect me, I'll be your map guide, lead you past irrelevant places that'll only waste time, and whoever finds something, it belongs to them, we each get what we want!"
This Hidden Dragon really knew how to get to the point.
"When the progress bar is full, come find me."
Hidden Dragon happily gave an OK gesture, "Alright, no problem!"
Thus, Zhang Yue continued heading toward the direction of the Sin Canyon with his pet squad.
Before long, they reached the canyon.
Within the vast canyon, level 123 Sin Envoys could be seen everywhere.
Without another word, he immediately launched into indiscriminate slaughter.
Wherever monsters were, that's where he attacked, initiating full-map sweep mode.
Basically, when Zhang Yue stopped, the activation bar of the Gate of Immortality would also stop.
When Zhang Yue moved, the bar would skyrocket.
Under Zhang Yue's frenzied slaughter, the progress bar once again began to skyrocket rapidly...
