These guys were draped in black robes, their bodies radiating a death aura that felt almost tangible.

As they waved their hands, black energy surged continuously.

And this aura was all too familiar to Bai Cheng—wasn't this the same aura emitted by the skeleton train they had encountered earlier in the Underground Deep Pit?

Although they hadn't seen the Survivors on the opposing train, the death aura within that train, composed entirely of bones, was exceptionally dense, virtually identical to that of the three black-robed figures before them.

Undoubtedly, these guys were the Survivors from the Special Channel mentioned by the System and the current event.

Although their faces were obscured, one of the black-robed figures held a White Token, and judging by the bony hand holding it, it wasn't hard to conclude that these guys were not human at all.

"These Survivors aren't actually human?" Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue also noticed this, their faces filled with surprise.

Bai Cheng frowned slightly: "Perhaps the so-called Survivors in the Special Channel were never meant to be composed of the Human Race."

"That's why they are hunting us Human Race Survivors!" Yu Nian realized suddenly.

Regarding this event, the three of them seemed to understand something now.

In the battlefield beneath the Bell Tower, the five leaders, along with their teammates and employees—a total of over fifty people—were now completely surrounded by the Human-faced Griffin, led by the three Men in Black.

They relied on each other, trapped in the center of the battlefield.

The surrounding monsters outnumbered them several times over—thousands in the sky and all around!

Not to mention, these Human-Faced Gryphon monsters were immortal while inside Cloud Sea City.

For everyone present, their losses were heavy, and the enemy was simply unbeatable.

The mentality of one of the leaders was starting to collapse: "What the hell is this thing? This Station is just sending us to our deaths!"

"Damn it, let's fight them!" one person shouted angrily. "Let's combine our strength and break out of the encirclement! Those three guys are the main culprits. Even if we die, we have to take one of them with us!"

Although this person's cry was impassioned, no one else shared the sentiment.

By sticking together, they could hold out longer, and perhaps new leaders would enter the Station to reinforce them during that time.

Conversely, charging into the enemy formation now was simply courting death.

Who knew if those three Men in Black were also immortal?

Even if they could be killed, no one wanted to die before them.

After all, for the leaders, there were still many employees to serve as shields in front of them, and even after the employees were gone, there were still teammates.

This could buy them a lot of time. Who would be willing to take the risk?

"I think you have a screw loose!" one leader couldn't help but curse upon hearing this.

"We only have five War General-level fighters, and there are thousands of monsters around us, most of them peak Elite-level. Are you going to fight with your ass?"

"So you're just going to wait here to die?"

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you first?!"

"Come on, then!"

Before even fighting the enemy, these leaders started fighting among themselves.

Strangely, the three Men in Black were not in a hurry to attack; instead, they watched mockingly, wanting to enjoy the show.

Bai Cheng was speechless seeing this scene from the rooftop, and Yu Nian, who had been about to ask if they should save the leaders, tacitly remained silent.

Although it was a collaborative Station, they didn't need teammates.

Most importantly, Yu Nian didn't want to save a bunch of idiots, even if she could extort some resources afterward.

"These monsters in Cloud Sea City should just be neutral creatures," Bai Cheng analyzed, her gaze fixed on the Man in Black holding the White Token.

"We just need to seize the token and deal with those three guys from the Special Channel."

Just then, Azure Bird, who had been responsible for holding back the Human-faced Griffin in the distance, flew back.

He had already observed the situation throughout the city from high altitude and confirmed there were no other Survivors here.

"Good. It seems the enemies are just these."

...Below, the three Men in Black seemed to lose their last shred of patience when they saw that the leaders were just trash-talking and not actually fighting.

The leading Man in Black silently raised the token in his hand.

The next second, the Human-faced Griffin that had been circling in the sky instantly became frenzied and immediately charged toward the people below.

At this point, the leaders had prepared themselves for a mutual destruction.

"Brothers, prepare to fight for your lives!"

But just as everyone prepared to unleash their full power, a sudden, unexpected event instantly broke the deadlock.

Countless feather arrows suddenly rained down from the sky, and every single feather precisely pierced every Human-Faced Gryphon present.

Thunder raged, and these monsters instantly transformed into clouds of mist, then dissipated one after another.

The arrow rain continued. In the blink of an eye, the thousands of Human-faced Griffin present were completely wiped out.

Everyone was greatly astonished and looked up.

"That is..."

Azure Bird's appearance was clearly not human, which meant it could only be... an Employee!

The three Survivors from the Special Channel were equally shocked. The phantom soul fire beneath their black robes flickered constantly, and they froze in place for a moment.

Because, compared to the five leaders whose maximum strength was only War General-level, the three of them could genuinely perceive Azure Bird's true strength.

Guardian Level. This was undoubtedly a huge problem for them.

Seeing this, one of them didn't hesitate at all and immediately planned to turn and leave.

But just as he turned around, he was met by a flash of purple saber light.

The # Nоvеlight # blade easily pierced the black robe and entered his chest. The ethereal blue soul fire in his chest instantly extinguished the moment it touched the purple energy.

The other two Men in Black beside him were horrified and immediately attacked without hesitation.

But as the powerful King Level aura spread out, they were instantly sent flying.

How could they, being Guardian Level, be a match for Purple Iris?

Two more flashes of light passed, and the Men in Black were instantly killed, barely having a chance to react.

Holding the White Token in her hand, Purple Iris handed it to Bai Cheng: "Miss, here you go."

Sure enough, the Gryphons that were regenerating in the nearby mist did not continue to attack them.

At this moment, the surviving leaders were completely stunned by the scene before them.

They couldn't believe that enemies they couldn't defeat even working together were easily instantly killed by one of the opponent's employees.

How was this possible?!

Looking at the white-haired girl not far away, everyone was momentarily at a loss.

Besides shock, there was mostly fear in their eyes.

However, one person reacted quickly. While the others were still frozen, he immediately stepped forward to Bai Cheng, speaking respectfully: "Thank you for your assistance, Miss. I am Zhang Erhe, and I am willing to go through fire and water to repay this life-saving grace!"

Hearing this, the others quickly snapped out of their daze.

"Yes, yes, yes! We are also willing to take Miss as our head and attend to your every need!"

No joke, the opponent was ridiculously strong. If they could gain the protection of such a Big Boss, wouldn't their future journey essentially be set to Easy Mode?

No one wanted to miss this opportunity.

Before Bai Cheng could answer, Yu Nian stepped forward with a smile.

She looked at everyone: "You say you're willing to attend to our every need?"

Everyone nodded in unison like chickens pecking at rice.

Yu Nian's smile widened. The crowd was confused by this, but they could only follow suit and chuckle awkwardly.

"Alright then, five thousand Magic Crystals from each of you first!"
