"not good!"

Upon hearing Lao Wu's words, Captain Lei's expression changed drastically. He immediately wanted to leave, but a group of identically dressed figures blocked their way.

Chapter 814 Escape

"Distinguished guests from the Upper District, now that you're here, why don't you give us a greeting first!"

A seductive voice rang out, and a woman with snake-like eyes stared intently at the four of them. In her hand, she held a woman that Captain Lei recognized very well.

"Third sister!"

Looking at the person in the snake-eyed woman's hand, Captain Lei's expression changed. Sure enough, the worst thing had happened. One of them had alerted the experts in the lower city and attracted the enemy.

Captain Lei didn't know exactly how much power the lower city had accumulated at this moment, but it was definitely not something that their mere five professionals could contend with.

"The Snake King of the North City, the Wolf King of the South City!"

Captain Lei looked at the two people blocking the front of them, feeling both surprised and relieved.

According to the information they have gathered, the current Lower City consists of five cities: East, South, West, North, and Central. Each city has a king.

The strongest is the Central War King City, while the other four cities are much weaker. However, even the weakest city lord possesses Silver-level strength.

As for the Gold level, there has been no news of anyone becoming a Gold level professional in the Lower City, and Captain Lei guesses that it is highly unlikely that anyone has.

"Although they were discovered, only two Silver-level experts came. Perhaps they misjudged the situation because of Third Sister's strength," Captain Lei thought.

Although the lower city is mysterious, Captain Lei, being a fellow Silver-level player, doesn't feel that he's any worse than others.

“You lackeys of the lower city, do you know who you’re dealing with? Put them down right now, or our army will raze the entire lower city to the ground.”

The fifth brother cursed at the snake king, adopting an arrogant and condescending attitude.

"Captain, should we rescue or retreat?" In the brief moment of the standoff, the second brother hurriedly asked via telepathy.

"This is the enemy's stronghold. We only have one chance. Let's attack together. If we can save Third Sister, great. If not..."

Captain Lei remained very calm. The entire War King City was awe-inspiring from the outside, let alone the fact that they were inside at the moment.

If they are not careful, they will all be wiped out.

"Remember, we only have one chance to make a move," Captain Lei reminded him.

After speaking, Captain Lei took a step forward, his face full of amiable smiles: "I'm sorry, we were just following orders... I forgot to tell Brother Zhan beforehand, how is Brother Zhan now..."

Before he could finish speaking, and before Captain Lei could give the order, his three teammates, working together with him, rushed towards the Snake King in an instant.

The four of them have worked together for so many years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, so they don't need to say much.

In an instant, the four silver-level professionals made their move. They deliberately concealed their auras, so it did not cause much of a commotion, and they also contained all their power in their attacks.

The combined strength of four Silver-level professionals is simply beyond the capabilities of any other being of the same level.

"Be careful, she might use her third sister as a shield."

During the attack, Captain Lei didn't forget to give a reminder, clearly showing his confidence in himself.

But the next moment, he saw the contempt in the snake-eyed woman's eyes.

"A mere four Silver-level players think they can challenge me? Hah."

The Snake King gripped the black whip in his hand and lashed it fiercely at the four people rushing towards him. Instantly, the rope stretched out continuously, like a spider weaving a web, creating a huge grid in mid-air.

Captain Lei and the others' actions were like insects deliberately bumping into a node of a spider web.

Captain Lei felt as if the space around him had become viscous, and his every move seemed to be being pulled by threads.

"receive!"

In an instant, the black spider web contracted, and countless whip shadows lashed out at the four of them.

"withdraw!"

Sensing the aura emanating from the whip, Captain Lei roared and abandoned his plan to rescue Third Sister.

The snake woman was too powerful; they simply couldn't contend with her.

Although both are Silver-ranked, their combat awareness seems to be on completely different levels.

The Snake King even had a feeling that he had anticipated their joint attack.

"Dream World!"

Captain Lei instantly realized that it was an incredibly dreamlike world, one that outsiders would likely have to pay a considerable price to use frequently.

However, for the five city lords of the lower city, they can probably immerse themselves in the Dream World at any time.

As a Silver-ranked individual, their status in the surrounding territory is not low. They don't fight each other often, and life-or-death battles are even rarer.

However, with the assistance of the Dream Realm, these people can essentially fight to the death with beings of the same level every day, which would allow them to hone their combat awareness to the highest level.

Captain Lei comes from the Golden Family and has always been proud of his lineage, using his excellent heritage to suppress his enemies.

Unexpectedly, their pride and joy were one day suppressed by someone from the lower city.

With years of accumulated knowledge, the Upper City District suppressed the Lower City District. However, with just one Dream Realm, the people of the Lower City District were able to catch up in terms of combat power, and even surpass them.

Captain Lei was both angry and filled with a strong longing for the Dream World.

However, what he needs to consider most now is how to survive the clutches of these two city lords.

Faced with the snake king's attack, the four who had just been full of confidence and joined forces were immediately forced to retreat and dodge.

"Retreat, leave the lower city..." Captain Lei said.

"Eldest brother, Third sister, she's here!"

Hearing the captain's words, the fifth brother was obviously unwilling. Among the whole team, he had the best relationship with the third sister.

Giving up so easily now is clearly hard for him to accept.

However, Captain Lei, who had previously acted like a big brother, now displayed an extremely decisive attitude.

After giving the order, Captain Lei rushed straight toward the city gate without stopping at all.

After some hesitation, the other two also chose to scatter and retreat.

When you're on someone else's turf, once you're discovered, your only option is to retreat.

Even if we could defeat the Wolf King and the Snake King, it wouldn't matter. Since they dared to rebel against the Upper City, they couldn't possibly not even have a few Silver-level experts.

Not to mention the fight they just had, in which they couldn't even beat each other.

"Trying to run away, or staying?"

The Wolf King looked in the direction Captain Lei had fled, pushed off with his feet, and instantly gave chase.

The four who had been united just moments before scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only the fifth brother alone to face the Snake King.

"Haha, the Upper City is nothing special."

The Snake King looked at the Fifth Brother, who hadn't retreated immediately, and a mocking glint appeared in his eyes.

"I'll treat you well..."

……

shhhhhh!

Captain Lei was running wildly through the city, and he felt a little anxious as he looked at the wolf king chasing closely behind him.

If the Snake King is so strong, the Wolf King, who is on par with him, is probably no less formidable.

Once caught, he'll likely face a terrible fate.

"Faster, faster!"

Captain Lei pushed his potential to the limit and used the Lei family's secret technique, moving through the city at lightning speed like a bolt of lightning.

However, although he was fast, the wolf king was not slow either, and it seemed to have a way to locate him, following closely behind him, impossible to shake off.

Roar…

Just then, a piercing wolf howl suddenly rang out, and the surrounding space became viscous.

"not good…"

Captain Lei was startled, but he was still a step too slow and was caught up by the Wolf King who came from behind in an instant.

hiss!

At such close range, Captain Lei could clearly smell the other person's bad breath.

"Do you really think we people from the Upper City are made of clay?" Captain Lei hardened his heart, his inner power erupted, and his body crackled and popped.

"Thunder Fist!"

As if holding lightning in his hand, a fist blazing with lightning bolts slammed into the charging wolf king.

Faced with the power of natural disaster, the wolf king, like a wild beast, was not afraid at all and chose to fight head-on, biting at Captain Lei's punch.

Crack!

Captain Lei gritted his teeth, showing no intention of backing down. He gathered all the power in his body into his fist and threw a punch to meet the attack head-on.

The next moment, the wolf king bit down on the lightning fist, and instantly the electricity surged, and the fur on its body turned black.

Amidst this electric current, streaks of blood mixed with lightning dripped continuously.

"It actually blocked it!"

Captain Lei stared directly into the wolf king's beast-like eyes, and a sense of fear rose within him.

With only a silver-level physique, he dared to take his lightning fist head-on; he was simply courting death.

Those who fight with the intention of mutual destruction are definitely individuals honed in the virtual world; normal professionals would never fight like that.

With a bite of Captain Lei's fist, the Wolf King's massive body leaned forward again, pressing his entire body forward.

"Are you treating reality like a virtual world?" Captain Lei looked at the wolf king's movements. If the wolf king pounced on him completely, there would be no way to escape.

Click...

Without hesitation, Captain Lei's combat experience, accumulated since his childhood, led him to make the most appropriate choice. With a crack, his arm was severed.
