"Four people? They... they all came?"

When they asked this question in astonishment, the expressions of the three of them didn't look too good...

Especially the young man who had confidently claimed earlier that some of them would surely fail miserably. His face now turned a deep shade of steel...

Taking a deep breath, he expressionlessly touched his face...

At that moment, he faintly felt a sting on his face...

...

The three of them didn't doubt his words at all at this moment...

They knew that this person was in tune with the minds of his birds.

Therefore, whatever the birds saw, he could see clearly as well.

Thus, if he says there are four people approaching quickly, then there really are four people approaching quickly.

Sensing their shock, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Yes! All four of them came! And it seems as if they're unharmed!"

"Unharmed?"

As they questioned this, their expressions grew even uglier!

Because they knew that if these individuals were unharmed, it indicated that the traps at Dark Forest hadn't worked at all!

...

"It seems the young members sent by the Hidden Family this time are indeed true experts!"

"Indeed!"

"Truly extraordinary!"

Upon hearing the hoarse speech, the others nodded slowly...

With this consensus reached, they all squinted their eyes involuntarily...

Previously, they truly looked down on the people from the Hidden Family...

They thought it was easy to deal with the families from the Hidden Family.

But now, they've realized it wasn't the case...

At least, the four people who came this time were not like that...

As they pondered, one person suddenly frowned and whispered, "Wait a minute! Before, we investigated all their information thoroughly, only Hai Tianshao is somewhat noteworthy! As for the other three, they are just useless!"

Hearing this cold remark, they thought carefully and nodded slowly.

That is indeed how it was...

Although the four of them were slightly stronger than the average youth, their strength was indeed limited...

Theoretically, there's no reason for them to have broken through so many trials unharmed to reach here...

...

As they pondered this, the person observing Hu Xiaobei and the others through his bird spoke again!

"Earlier, we did investigate the four geniuses from the Hidden Family, but those who have arrived here now differ slightly from our previous findings!"

"Differ? You mean the people who came now aren't the ones we investigated before?"

Frowning slightly, they directly asked...

Nodding lightly, he continued hoarsely, "Yes, that's what I mean! Previously, during our investigation, the most capable young member from the Lin Family was Lin Chong. But now, along with the geniuses from the other three hidden families, it's not Lin Chong who appeared here but someone who looks even younger."

As he spoke, he seriously watched Hu Xiaobei through the bird's eyes...

He found that no matter how he looked at it, there was not a bit of recognition...

Clearly, he had never seen them before.

Hearing such a resolute statement, the three others were intrigued!

"Oh? A younger person, could it be someone the Lin Family raised secretly for this competition?"

Upon hearing this inquiry, the person who's been observing Hu Xiaobei through birds lightly shook his head...

"It shouldn't be possible! We've been dealing with them for years; if they had a plan to secretly cultivate a genius, we should have known long ago!"

"That makes sense!"

They nodded lightly!

Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

Over the years, to defeat these hidden families, they had planted many spies within their families.

Many spies were absolutely high-ranking people, so the Four Great Hidden Families' movements were clear to them...

...

"If they're not raised by the four families themselves, then perhaps they're outside help!"

"Outside help?"

Upon hearing this term, they nodded slowly, knowing that the likelihood of outside help was quite high!

"Alright, don't think too much, they're already here, we'll soon find out!"

"Indeed!"

After pondering for a while, unable to figure out the reason.

They gradually abandoned the idea of further contemplation...

So they sat quietly, waiting for the arrival of the four individuals!

They knew that once these individuals arrived, everything would truly be settled!

...

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, Captain, you've been staring ahead since earlier, what are you watching?"

"Yes, yes!"

On the path leading to the Inner Valley of the Valley of the Wicked, Hai Tianshao and the others stared curiously at Hu Xiaobei...

The reason was, since earlier, they had noticed Hu Xiaobei looking ahead...

Upon hearing their soft inquiries, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes, and soon, Hu Xiaobei openly said, "I feel like someone is watching us."

"Someone's spying on us? That's impossible; there are only a few birds here!"

"Right!"

As they spoke, they turned to look at those birds on the dead branches nearby...

Upon mentioning those birds, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Who said the one watching us was a person!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei quickly twirled the silver needle in his hand...

In the next second, a faint murderous aura slowly spread from Hu Xiaobei.

...

"Not good!"

As this aura spread slowly, at the entrance of the Inner Valley of the Valley of the Wicked, the person who had been watching Hu Xiaobei through the bird quickly stood up.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, why are you so startled!"

"Right!"

They slightly frowned at this moment.

Because they were truly shocked...

Quickly glancing at them, he said fearfully in a low voice, "The bird I sent to watch seems to have been discovered."

"Discovered? Are you joking?"

"Exactly! You watched others before, and it was never found!"

Sensing their disbelief, he took a deep breath and said, "Yes! It was never found before, but this time, I feel they have discovered it!"

In his terrified speech, on the other side, Hu Xiaobei quickly threw the silver needle in his hand...

Within a second, the silver needle instantly appeared beside the flock of birds...

All birds remained motionless, but one suddenly flew up...

But it was too late...

Even though it flew up, it was still penetrated by the silver needle after a second.

Just like that, it fell directly to the ground!

Hai Tianshao and the others saw it fall to the ground, and they quickly walked over to take a closer look. At that moment, they discovered this bird seemed a bit different from the others...

"It seems there really was something wrong with this bird!"

Exclaiming in admiration, they looked at Hu Xiaobei with amazement...

Convinced!

At this moment, they were truly and completely convinced!

On the other side, the person who was terrified just now directly spat blood!

"What's wrong with you?"

"Yeah!"

"What... what on earth is going on?"

Seeing him fall to the ground in utter dejection, the other three people's eyelids twitched heavily...

They were truly frightened at this moment...

Hearing their anxious speech, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm... I'm fine, just my bird was killed just now, it's dead."

By the end of his words, a look of uncontrollable cruelty and frenzy appeared on his face...

Silence!

Upon hearing such utterly low and cold words, they fell into complete silence...

Because they understood what the bird represented to him and knew how miserable he was losing it...

"Later, no one should try to steal from me the one who killed my bird, understand?"

"Don't worry, we definitely won't compete with you!"

"Good! I want him dead, I want him dead!"

Upon hearing this obstinate low growl, they slightly frowned...

They knew that since he could kill his bird, it indicated a strong prowess...

So they didn't know whether this preparation for a fierce confrontation was right or wrong.

Of course, they knew that regardless of right or wrong, they must engage in a fierce confrontation, as from the beginning, it was destined to be a fight to the death...

As they thought about this, Hu Xiaobei and the others rapidly approached from the distance...
