Not long after, a figure slowly appeared in Jiang An's field of vision.
Upon closer inspection, she immediately recognized the climber—a newcomer.
This player has gray hair and looks quite old, yet his movements are exceptionally agile and swift, without any sense of sluggishness.
He used both his hands and feet to climb the steep rock face with astonishing speed, seemingly unaffected by his advanced age. He was truly a man of vigor and strength!
Jiang An guessed in his mind that he should belong to the second batch of players.
In the blink of an eye, the old man had successfully climbed to the ground.
As soon as he landed, he spotted Jiang An not far away. His eyes lit up, and his serious face instantly blossomed into a bright smile, as warm and gentle as the spring sun.
"Haha, you must be the Jiang An that Hewazi mentioned? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! Such a promising young man is a rare talent! My name is Zhu Cheng, and I am a soldier!" Zhu Cheng laughed heartily as he strode towards Jiang An.
Upon hearing this, Jiang An suddenly understood, and at the same time, he also had the answer to why the old man named Zhu Cheng was still able to maintain such good physical condition despite his advanced age.
After all, those who can climb high into the air, besides the first batch of players with high combat strength, are undoubtedly extraordinary people in modern times.
Otherwise, it would be truly strange if an ordinary person who is new to the area could climb up this rock wall that is tens of meters high!
She quickly stepped forward and smiled shyly, replying, "Hello, Mr. Zhu, I am Jiang An."
Seeing Jiang An's humility and politeness, Zhu Cheng was even more pleased and nodded in praise repeatedly.
Jiang paused for a moment, then asked, "Elder Zhu, you must be one of the second batch of players to enter here, right? I wonder what the situation is like down below now?"
Upon hearing Jiang An's question, Zhu Cheng couldn't help but smile wryly and sigh as he replied, "That's right, I was indeed among the second batch of players to arrive here. Alas, it's shameful to admit, we old folks weren't able to help much, and instead caused you young people quite a bit of trouble... The four of us are from the second batch of players, three of us are over 60 years old, and there's also a child. Apart from me being able to climb up with a rope, the rest of us had to be carried up by He Wazi."
Upon hearing this, Jiang An's heart skipped a beat, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.
He Zhizhou could have easily carried them to the ground, but whether they should continue their journey together became a thorny problem.
She knew that she was just an ordinary person and had never possessed the noble sentiments of selflessness and dedication.
At this moment, all she could do was ensure her own safety and complete the mission. She had no time to care about the lives of other players or the progress of the mission.
Before Jiang An could respond, the third player who had successfully escaped the cave appeared—it was Zhang Xinyu.
The moment his feet touched the ground, a bright smile immediately spread across his face. He strode towards Jiang An and said enthusiastically, "Brother Jiang An, how about we team up? Boss He already agreed to take us old, weak, sick, and disabled people with him when we were in the cave!"
"You might not know this, but two of the players left in the cave are over seventy years old. Forget about completing the mission successfully, they might not even survive in this extremely dangerous dungeon. They're practically a drag on the team!"
However, when faced with Zhang Xinyu's hopeful suggestion, Jiang An refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I don't want to entrust my back to people I can't trust!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyu's face instantly darkened. He slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the rope beneath his feet.
He bent down slightly and stretched out his right hand, as if trying to grab the rope.
However, at that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang An's eyes, who had been watching his every move.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang An unhesitatingly used his unique skill, Cloud Step, and his figure flashed to Zhang Xinyu's side like a ghost.
Immediately afterwards, she used all her strength to kick Zhang Xinyu hard.
