Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

When Sean killed all the Silver Human monsters and walked up to Cheng Jiyuan and the others, only a dozen minutes had passed since he joined the battle.

In just over ten minutes, he gained more than 200,000 experience points.

He was less than two-thirds of the experience needed to reach level 24.

Behind him, in all directions.

The cave entrance and surrounding area, which were originally blocked by the Silver Army, are now a terrifying Silver graveyard.

The ground was littered with the corpses of silver-haired human demons, the shattered bodies piled up into a small mountain, and the silver blood even gathered into a small river.

Sean stopped a few steps away from Cheng Jiyuan and the others, his gaze behind the mask calmly sweeping over their still shocked faces.

He was just casually looking at it at first.

But when he saw Cheng Jiyuan, he was suddenly startled.

"Is that Uncle Cheng? He's actually in this team too?"

Cheng Jiyuan and his missing parents were once in the same squad.

Six years ago, the monster's lair numbered K3698 broke out, and his parents' squad was temporarily ordered to enter the monster's lair to deal with the incident.

However, the mission failed, and all team members disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Jiyuan was the only survivor in that team.

Shortly before the mission was assigned, he had to leave the gathering place temporarily due to personal matters and was unable to return in time, thus narrowly missing the mission that was destined to be a one-way trip.

He never expected that he would meet his parents' former comrade-in-arms again in this situation and in this capacity.

Cheng Jiyuan had a good relationship with his parents, and after they went missing, he continued to send money to them and the children of several other brave individuals.

Although Sean didn't need that money, he was always very grateful to Cheng Jiyuan.

Even last month, he received a sum of money sent by Cheng Jiyuan.

Even though Sean was shocked, no one else could tell because he was wearing a mask.

He had no intention of acknowledging Cheng Jiyuan's identity.

On the one hand, he also needs to maintain the identity of "Mirror".

On the other hand, he also couldn't explain why his strength had improved so rapidly in such a short period of time.

To explain clearly, one must inevitably reveal some of one's secrets.

He was unwilling to do that.

To Cheng Jiyuan and the others, Sean's silence was a tremendous pressure.

The fact that Sean kept watching them without saying a word was especially agonizing for them.

The gaze wasn't sharp, but it seemed to possess a penetrating power that chilled them to the bone.

The densely packed corpses of silver-haired human demons in the distance gave them an even greater sense of intimidation.

No one would dare bet that such a strong person is a gentle and kind-hearted individual.

Time seemed to stretch out countless times in the silence.

Only their heavy breathing could be heard inside the cave.

Finally, Cheng Jiyuan broke the silence.

"Senior, I am Cheng Jiyuan, and I thank you for saving my life!"

His attitude was respectful, and his posture was extremely humble.

It wasn't just because the other party saved their lives, but also because of the terrifying strength they displayed.

In this world, maintaining absolute respect for the strong at all times is one of the fundamental rules of survival.

He dared not make any large movements, but simply bowed slightly forward in greeting.

Even though this posture aggravated the wounds in his chest and abdomen, causing him to sweat profusely from his forehead, he still gritted his teeth and managed to keep his balance.

Sun Shuo and his group followed suit, expressing their gratitude and bowing respectfully, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!"

"Junior Sun Shuo thanks you, senior!"

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior!"

Although his voice was uneven due to his injuries, the gratitude and reverence in it were genuine.

They kept their heads down, not daring to look directly at the masked figure for long.

Having barely escaped certain death, they were determined not to give up their lives.

This is deep in the wilderness, and inside a monster's lair.

No matter what happens here, no one will ever know.

Everyone is a hero, but this identity is not a guarantee of survival.

If you anger the other party, it's not impossible to be killed on the spot.

There were no witnesses, no arbitrators, and not even any leads to follow.

Power is the only passport in this world.

Sean is in a rather awkward position now.

Logically speaking, Cheng Jiyuan was his elder.

He was born with memories and wisdom; he remembers everything that happened from childhood to adulthood clearly.

From childhood to adulthood, Cheng Jiyuan would always bring him some novel little gifts whenever he visited his home.

After her parents disappeared, the money and letters of care that kept coming in, though not generous, were constant...

He remembers all of these memories clearly.

He knew very well that Cheng Jiyuan had always treated him very well and truly regarded him as his own nephew.

So when he saw Cheng Jiyuan bowing to thank him despite the excruciating pain, he almost instinctively wanted to step forward and reach out to support Cheng Jiyuan.

However, he abruptly stopped the action.

Do not help.

He is now "Mirror," a mysterious and powerful B-rank summoner.

A complete stranger to "Sean" and Cheng Jiyuan.

Therefore, in the eyes of Cheng Jiyuan and others, this "Mirror" senior only nodded slightly after hearing the thanks.

The movement was so subtle as to be almost imperceptible, which was considered an acceptance of their gratitude.

That cold, silver-white mask completely blocked out all his micro-expressions.

Then, through the mask came Sean's extremely brief "self-introduction":

"Mirror. Summoner."

Four characters, not one more and not one less.

Only names and professions, no background, no small talk, clean and efficient to the point of being indifferent.

The sound was similar to the sound of a knife scraping glass, something that a human could never make.

Sean had previously been equipped with books on disguise techniques and had used those abilities before.

Although the books have been removed, this ability has been lost.

However, he still gained quite a bit when using his abilities.

For example, techniques for changing one's own voice.

Through diligent practice, he has completely mastered this skill.

Without special props, you can't recognize his original voice at all.

She changed her voice simply to prevent Cheng Jiyuan from discovering her identity.

However, Sean suddenly realized that doing it this way was actually quite effective.

Although the voice was eerie, it fit his current persona perfectly.

The aloof, eccentric, and mysterious persona was immediately established.

"From now on, you will follow me."

Sean continued.

He wouldn't have invited these people to travel with him if he hadn't met Cheng Jiyuan.

Saving their lives was enough; he didn't want to leave a trail of trouble behind him.

But Cheng Jiyuan was in this team.

Everything was different then.

Although he wasn't planning to acknowledge them as family, he was willing to give Cheng Jiyuan, his elder, some benefits.
