Rou Yi, Lewand, and Dodge stood rooted to the spot like wooden figures. Before each of them stood a white-robed figure, each seemingly possessing a captivating power that rendered the three unable to move.

The Fatty was astonished. He wondered when the white-robed figures behind them had silently appeared in front of them.

These white-robed figures were elusive and unpredictable. Their sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

Fortunately, the Fatty was not controlled by the white-robed figures.

At this moment, the Fatty didn't have time to think. He quickly nudged Rou Yi and Lewand, but they remained motionless and unresponsive.

The Fatty targeted the white-robed figures in front of them without hesitation. He threw a punch straight at the face of the white-robed figure in front of Rou Yi. The white-robed figure was immediately knocked to the ground, flying more than a meter away.

The Fatty felt the power was still there, but not as strong as before.

With the white-robed figure knocked to the ground, Rou Yi immediately regained consciousness. She and the Fatty each attacked, knocking down the white-robed figures in front of Lewand and Dodge.

Rou Yi's strength seemed greater, sending the white-robed figure in front of Lewand flying more than ten meters away.

The moment the white-robed figures were knocked away, Lewand and Dodge also woke up.

The first thing Lewand said upon waking was, "Don't look into their eyes."

Lewand's words woke everyone up. Just now, Rou Yi and Dodge were controlled by the white-robed figures almost instantly. They were controlled the moment they saw the white-robed figures, leaving them no room to react.

The two white-robed figures knocked down by the Fatty lay motionless on the ground, as if dead.

The Fatty thought to himself, *I didn't even use that much force. How did they just fall to the ground?*

The Fatty planned to go forward to investigate. He wanted to see who was hidden beneath the white robes.

Lewand reminded him again, "Don't look into their eyes..."

The Fatty responded, "If I get controlled, you guys just carry him away. As long as he disappears from my sight, I'll be fine."

The Fatty cautiously reached out to remove the white robe from the person lying on the ground. He was very vigilant, afraid that the person on the ground would suddenly attack him.

The Fatty slowly lifted the white robe, bit by bit. The person didn't move, as if he had been knocked unconscious.

The Fatty no longer had many concerns and directly lifted the person's white robe.

When the white robe was completely lifted, the Fatty froze in place.

Not only the Fatty, but Rou Yi and Dodge were also shocked speechless.

Lying on the ground, the person in the white robe was none other than Derek, who had been separated from them for so long.

"Derek!"

The Fatty repeatedly slapped Derek's face, trying to wake him up.

But Derek had already stopped breathing. No matter how the Fatty called out to Derek, he remained the same.

"Did I... kill him?" The Fatty looked at Derek's corpse in disbelief, muttering to himself.

Derek's face was purplish, his expression was twisted, and his limbs were contorted. He looked like he had been dead for several days. It was obvious that Derek's death had nothing to do with the Fatty's punch just now.

Throughout this journey, Derek had been the closest to the Fatty. Derek was the one who fought alongside the Fatty against the giant anaconda, and Derek was also among those who raided the cannibal tribe at night.

The Fatty had long regarded Derek as a brother and comrade-in-arms who had gone through life and death together. But now, Derek had died in front of him in an extremely strange and grotesque manner, which the Fatty found difficult to accept.

While the Fatty was still staring at Derek's corpse in a daze, Rou Yi, without saying a word, directly lifted the white robe of the person in front of Dodge that the Fatty had knocked down earlier.

This person was none other than the mercenary who had been Jennifer and Dodge's medic in the team.

The mercenary's death was also extremely grotesque and tragic, almost the same as Derek's, as if his soul had been drawn away, making it unbearable to look at.

"Derek, Yorkson (the medic's assistant's name)..." The Fatty suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Just now, there were three white-robed figures in front of them. The Fatty knocked down two, and Rou Yi sent one flying. Could the person who was sent flying be...?

"Jennifer."

The Fatty had a very bad premonition. Derek, the medic's assistant, and Jennifer corresponded perfectly with the three white-robed figures. The person who was sent flying by Rou Yi was very likely Jennifer.

Not only the Fatty, but Rou Yi also vaguely felt uneasy.

They ignored the two corpses on the ground and instead searched in the direction where the white-robed figure sent flying by Rou Yi had landed.

However, they searched left and right, even expanding the search area, but they couldn't find the white-robed figure that had been sent flying.

"She's not dead..."

The Fatty had already assumed that the person under the white robe was Jennifer. To be able to withstand Rou Yi's punch and quickly wake up and escape, it was highly likely that it was Jennifer, who had taken the elixir.

The Fatty felt a little relieved at this moment.

If the Fatty saw Jennifer's corpse at this moment, he might collapse.
