After Song Lan was struck by an arrow in the backside, Lu Xiang suddenly realized the truth.
She immediately sprang into action, seamlessly leaping before the ambusher and, before they could flee into the dark depths, she pinned the slender figure to the ground.
The disparity in strength, along with the weight of the exoskeleton armor, rendered the attacker immobile on the ground.
"Just now, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
At that moment, Lu Xiang recalled Song Lan's identity as a tactician, "Provoking the hidden assailants with a tale akin to a children's story, making them expose themselves."
Although she was unclear about which Old God the figure had referred to, after hearing Song Lan's disparagement, they had indeed been unable to restrain themselves and had shot Song Lan with an arrow, thus completely revealing their position.
