"Doctor, do you mean we should go to the vicinity of the rift first... and then catch the Fusion Faction members off guard when they see us trying to seal the rift?"
"No, no, no, that would be too stupid."
Li Ji shook his index finger twice, rejecting the idea. "Since they have been able to hold these two rifts for so long, there must be a carefully planned ambush around them. Even if we have enough strength, I still don't think it's necessary to take such a risk. We can clear out the people in the outer circle first."
He smiled and countered with a question:
"Isn't it common sense to bait the area before fishing?"
"So, the doctor is thinking..."
Ines couldn't quite understand. If they weren't going to approach those two rifts, what else could the Fusionists possibly be looking for them about? Could it be...?
"Doctor, I reject your proposal. If you intend to use yourself as bait, it is far too dangerous."
Ines said to Li Ji seriously.
Right now, the only person she can think of is Li Ji.
You should know that when she first came to the scene, it was because Li Ji was being harassed by members of the Fusion Faction. Now, Li Ji actually wants to use her to lure members of the Fusion Faction to hunt him down, which is unacceptable to her.
Others may not know the seriousness of the situation, but she and Jian are real witnesses to the incident.
Just as Ines said those words, Jian frowned and looked at Li Ji.
“I share Ines’s opinion on this matter. I also disagree with using the Doctor as bait. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be unacceptable.”
The others nearby also realized something and unconsciously looked at Li Ji, waiting for his answer.
However, Li Ji showed no panic or attempt to explain himself in the face of the five people's gazes. He simply asked with a slight smile, "Have you misunderstood something?"
He picked up the tactical backpack he had secretly left in the car. "I don't remember saying I was going to act as bait to lure the enemy. There seem to be more worthwhile people to hunt down here than me."
"Those who deserve to be hunted down even more..."
Just as the five people were looking at each other, wondering who this person was, Li Ji suddenly opened his tactical backpack and handed Ines a mask that she recognized very well.
Just as the people in the back seat were curiously looking at what Li Ji was handing over...
Ines, however, was already looking at the 're-equipped chip' in her hand with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and roughly understood what Li Ji meant by 'more worthwhile'.
The strongest legend of the Yan Kingdom is Ryumen Chenichiro, the horse hunter of the knight robber.
A grand resurrection!

Under the moonlight, Hal lay quietly in ambush in the grass, seemingly blending into the surrounding night.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he yawned, his exhaustion evident. Moonlight shone on his weary face, illuminating his deep-set eyes and slightly disheveled hair.
He tried to straighten his back, but his body trembled slightly involuntarily. His eyelids drooped heavily, then he forced them open again, trying to resist the onslaught of drowsiness with willpower.
"Sigh, when will this ever end? Three days after three days, if this keeps up I'll be feeding sandworms."
Hal turned his head, his bones making a slight 'crack' sound, and then continued to lie prone in the sand, complaining.
"I was doing pretty well in the safe zone. Although I was a little worried every day, at least I didn't have to stay in a place like this for a week!"
Hal sighed. He was originally just an unknown undercover agent who was assigned to the safe zone as a member of the radical faction. He lived a life of collecting intelligence and enjoying a warm bed with his wife and children.
Ever since that idiot, Chen Yilang, the strongest legend of Yan Kingdom and the horse hunter of Longmen, appeared in the safe zone, his peaceful life has been completely ruined.
Countless Fusionist spies were caught in her investigation.
If he hadn't run so fast, he'd probably be eating peanuts from the government by now.
Those who can still infiltrate the safe zone now are the elite of the elite, while he could only be reassigned by the organization to do other reconnaissance work.
Just like it is now.
"Damn it, don't let me see that beastly woman again, or I'll have her arrested and killed!"
Hal thought viciously to himself, especially when he thought about the miserable days he had endured recently, he couldn't help but spit and wanted to tear her to pieces.
"My perfectly peaceful life!!!"
Just as he was muttering to himself, a black figure suddenly swept past his field of vision, like a gentle breeze that lightly stirred up the surrounding sand.
"Is there someone!?"
Hal, like a startled bird, was immediately pulled back from his chaotic thoughts. After quickly confirming that his stealth state had not disappeared, he hurriedly circled around his surroundings.
He spotted a figure speeding through the night in the distance, dressed entirely in black, blending perfectly into the shadows.
If it weren't for the relatively bright moonlight tonight, he wouldn't have noticed the figure that was almost blending into the darkness.
Hal stared intently at the figure before him, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression and fear, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
However, all members of the fusion faction need to be blessed by Lord 'Yutang'.
With the blessing, its members can easily distinguish friend from foe at a glance.
Therefore, Hal could sense that this person was definitely not a member of the Fusion faction!
What is this sense of familiarity and oppression?
Faced with this inexplicable feeling of palpitations, Hal could only squint his eyes with a puzzled expression and carefully observe the slender figure.
"Nice figure, I wonder if it'll survive... Holy crap!"
Hal had only spoken halfway through his thought when he suddenly changed his mind and cursed.
Because... when that figure turned his head, he saw a mask that almost every member of the Fusion faction in the safe zone could remember.
"Damn it, they're really relentless! They've even tracked you all the way here!? Don't they know they're wanted by the Fusion Faction?"
When Hal saw that face, he almost ground his teeth to powder.
The undercover agents in the safe zone weren't enough for them, so they've tracked them all the way to their headquarters.
"court death!"
He quietly turned on his radio and rhythmically tapped out an encrypted beat.
Once you're here, you're not leaving!
……
Amidst the ruins filled with broken walls and rubble, a makeshift camp has been set up.
A bonfire roared, its flames leaping across the ruins' walls and casting dappled shadows.
As one of the shadows raised his hand and swung his short sword, the last shadow that should have remained in the camp also sprayed warm blood and fell into a pool of blood.
"Impressive skills. No wonder you are Chen...the heroine who captured so many people in our safe zone."
Behind her, a tall, slender man appeared behind Ines.
He seemed completely unconcerned about his companion being killed. Even as blood splattered around him, he merely sidestepped slightly, his smile never wavering.
"I must admire your courage to come to the border alone, heroine. However... this place was specially left for you to clean up. Although I feel sorry for the brothers who died, I would like to ask you, how does it feel to step into a trap?"
The man gently placed his left hand on his chest and bowed slightly as he introduced himself: "Let me introduce myself. I am Lord 'Azure Dragon,' the head of the Six Yellow Paths of the Twelve Earthly Branches. You may call me 'Tianyi.'"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not interested in what your name is. Just say what you want to say."
"Heroine Chen" merely glanced coldly at Tianyi in front of her, "Your expression and tone don't seem like you're mourning your brother. Your hypocritical act only makes people disgusted."
"Wow, that's really tough. Men don't usually like girls this assertive, do they?"
Tianyi didn't care at all about being seen through; he just gave a strange "Eh" and continued to tease with a smile:
"But I like strong personalities. Are you interested in joining the integration faction? This is your only chance to survive, you know?"
Tianyi took out a crystal from his pocket and tossed it to the 'Heroine Chen' in front of him. "Eat this, or die here. I don't like wasting time. You have five seconds to choose."
"five……"
Tianyi's smile grew even wider, and he began the countdown without hesitation.
"Four……"
The members of the Fusion faction around them stared intently at the 'Heroine Chen' in front of them. According to the information they had so far, she could not only hide but also restrain the attacking enemies, making her extremely difficult to deal with.
After receiving news of her arrival today, Tianyi personally led a group of Fusion Faction members, equipped with operators possessing multiple templates such as anti-stealth, control, and large-area AOE, all in an effort to deal with this troublesome individual.
"three……"
The countdown was about to end, and everyone gripped their weapons tightly, but the 'Heroine Chen' in front of them still didn't make a move.
"two……"
"Heroine Chen" raised her head and looked at Tianyi, who was beaming with confidence. "I have to admit, this is indeed a trap..."
She tossed the crystal Tianyi had given her high into the air, saying, "But you're not the only ones who have set traps here."
As the crystal was tossed up, Tianyi looked up, and it was this look that made him realize something was wrong.
Because at some unknown time, a man and a woman with long black hair dressed in white suddenly appeared on the platform of the ruins.
The woman's black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, shimmering with a deep luster that perfectly complemented her serene demeanor.
"clang!"
The crystal struck the rock with a crisp sound.
Her fingers gently plucked the cello strings, and each touch seemed to resonate with the hearts of everyone present.
