"Everyone, don't panic! Group together, back-to-back, in a circle, and let's see how he can ambush us now!"
As soon as this suggestion was made, everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly gathered together.
One solid back pressed tightly against another.
Feeling the warmth from behind, for a moment, their hearts were significantly calmed. The panicked group of people, four or five in number, stood back-to-back forming a circle, guarding against Qin Hao's ambush from every direction.
The sky was completely dark, with the night so pitch-black that one could not see their hand in front of them. Only a few lonely stars overhead faintly reflected the tiniest glimmers on the lake, close to the limit of human eye perception.
However, everyone present was a skilled professional, with sharp senses. Although it was dark, they could make out the rough outlines of their surroundings.
