Just at that moment, distant gunfire suddenly erupted from the woods of Taboo Land behind them.
The gunshots were far away but, in the silence of Taboo Land, they were incredibly jarring.
Guo Huchan abruptly looked up. Who dared to use guns in Taboo Land?!
This was the 002 Taboo Land, and one of the rules was the prohibition of firearms!
It was once said that the reason for "no drones" and "no firearms" in 002 Taboo Land was to prevent people with ill intentions from entering.
Guo Huchan turned to Yangyang, "The Federal Group military knows the taboo, could it be Qing Zade coming to help you, but he might not be aware of the rules."
Since they couldn't discuss specific rules in Taboo Land, Guo Huchan spoke very vaguely.
Apart from the Knight, no one knew that becoming a Knight was part of the containment rules of 002 Taboo Land, so even Yangyang started worrying.
However, the first thing Yangyang paid attention to were the students from Freemasonry.
The students' immediate reaction was to warn each other not to discuss the matter by holding up their index fingers.
These high-IQ students well understood that discussing anything at such a time could easily breach the rules, so they avoided making the most basic mistake.
Watching this, Yangyang nodded, the quality of these elite students from Los Angeles City was indeed very high.
Nangong Yuanyu turned to Guo Huchan, "Excuse me, is it Spade's people fighting?"
"No," Guo Huchan said with a frown, "We also can't be sure who it is, it might be some of the people who were traveling with us earlier."
No one would come to Taboo Land for no reason, nor would anyone help Spade for no reason!
Guo Huchan suggested, "Shall we leave first?"
Yangyang shook his head, "You guys go ahead, I'll take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone slowly emerged from the depths of the forest, footsteps crunching on broken leaves, quiet and mysterious.
Everyone from Freemasonry and Spade turned toward the source of the noise, and to their astonishment, they saw Li Ke and others slowly emerging from the shadows.
Everyone instinctively looked over, their eyes glued to the guns in the hands of Li Ke and his group as if stuck there.
Upon closer encounter, they even smelled the gunpowder on the trio.
It was the unavoidable scent that followed pulling a trigger.
"It was these three who just fired the shots!" Guo Huchan thought to himself.
Yet he didn't understand.
Everyone had confirmed countless times that firearms were not to be used in 002 Taboo Land, but these three didn't seem affected by the rules!
In fact, the vast majority of people in the world didn't know that Taboo Land could be contained.
Because very few people had ever contained it!
Those who had contained it kept the secret tightly hidden within themselves!
Yangyang turned to 'Qing Zade,' "Was it you who just fought with the Federal Group military?"
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded and smiled, "They seem to be as confused as you, so they hesitated and temporarily retreated. Next, let me take you out of 002 Taboo Land, to prevent you from getting lost and inadvertently entering its core area."
Given the dangers of the core area, if Freemasonry members were to accidentally enter, there was a ninety percent chance they would die.
Qi Duo from Freemasonry hesitated and asked, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Actually, what he wanted to ask was, "Why are you being so kind to us, why are you so willing to help us out of Taboo Land?"
After all, they were not familiar with each other.
Qing Chen smiled and said, "It's no trouble, Xiao Niu told me you guys are friends, and it's only right to help a friend."
Qi Duo and others looked at Hu Xiaoniu, thinking to themselves what a good person Xiao Niu was, even as a Servant he had taken the initiative to have his employer come and help them!
When they looked at Qing Chen again, they found him surveying them with a cheerful and benevolent smile.
As if he was appraising his cherished Gold Coins...
