"Swish--" The remaining two people threw down their backpacks, immediately took out the things from their waists, smashed a large cloud of smoke on the ground, and then dragged their injured companions back. Because the opponents couldn't see clearly, the subsequent arrows missed them.

Loran Hill, who was following the three people, was not greeted by the cold arrow. It was not known whether the other party did not want to cause trouble or simply ignored the girl.

After the three retreated and took cover behind a large tree on the side of the road, one of them took out medicine and fed it to his injured companion. Then the two of them drew their knives and looked vigilantly at the woods obscured by smoke.

A sound of footsteps, neither fast nor slow, came from the smoke and woods.

"Brother Lin, be careful along the way. I didn't expect you to fall into my trap. What a pity."

As he was speaking, a dark and strong man with a thick beard walked out, followed by seven or eight people. Some of these people held bows, some held knives, and some swung small meteor hammers.

"I really don't know where you rested and slept last night, and I was afraid of alerting you and letting you escape, so I took my brothers and walked ten miles forward to ambush you here."

As he spoke, he smiled triumphantly, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"I advise Brother Lin not to hesitate. Your nephew has been shot by an arrow. The poison on the arrow was specially purchased from the Blood Toad Cave. If we don't give him the antidote within half an hour, he will die immediately."

"If you still want to save your nephew's life, hand over all the things. I won't make things difficult for you. After all, I am also a gangster and know the rules." As he said this, he winked at the two men beside him, asking them to quietly surround him from both sides.

Leaning against a big tree, the swordsman carefully examined the wounds on his nephew's body, frowned, and then looked at his companion beside him. The two exchanged glances, with some hesitation.

Although it is not a problem for the two of them to escape, it is probably impossible to save his nephew's life.

Among the three people, two are cousins, and the younger one is Lin Dao Ke's nephew. If he gets lost, it will be difficult for him to explain to his sister when he returns.

Just as the two men picked up their knives and were about to go out to negotiate with the bearded boss, a noise came from the road.

Loran Hill looked at them ignoring him and preparing to attack, feeling a little overwhelmed. Could it be that he didn't look like a threat at all?

"Cough cough." She couldn't help but cough twice, then took a step forward, but soon an arrow shot to the ground in front of her.

"My dear lady, you are dressed in gorgeous clothes, have fair skin, and no marks on your wrists. You must be from a good family. Please don't get involved, or we will have no choice but to kill you."

A bow-wielding younger brother and two people beside the bearded boss turned around to warn Loran Hill.

"Oh, she looks pretty good. I wonder where you are from." Everyone's attention was previously focused on the three swordsmen. Only then did they vaguely feel that the girl must be quite good-looking. Even with a veil, she gave people a feeling of amazement.

"I'm actually the helper and guard they hired." Loran Hill pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingertips and said something that she herself felt was a bit strange.

"Ha, Miss, you got it wrong. We guessed that you hired three people to be bodyguards for your trip, but this is not an ordinary matter. You, Miss, should not get involved." After saying that, several people shook their heads and pointed the bowstrings at the girl.

Of course, they could see that this young lady was of extraordinary origin, but they didn't think too much about it. Such a young lady might seem like a piece of fat meat, but she was also very troublesome. If she was kidnapped, the family would definitely send experts to find and rescue her, and they couldn't resist. This was a world with extraordinary powers, and they didn't want to touch or offend the strength and influence of some of the big sects.

As for her beauty, since Loran Hill was wearing a veil, they couldn't see clearly, so the few people didn't think too much about it. Anyway, no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't compare to the goods they got today. If they succeeded, they could take her to the incense boat and play with her as long as they wanted.

As they were talking, the two swordsmen came out from behind the tree and walked towards the black-bearded boss.

"Stop, let's talk at this distance." The boss stretched out his rough hand with a black jade ring and asked the two to stop.

"Brother Lin, I've experienced your swordsmanship before. Plus, your scabbard is holding up its power, so I'd be nervous if I got any closer, hehe." Although he said so, he didn't look scared. Instead, he had a sense of pride that everything was under control.

"I can hand over the goods, but how can you guarantee that you will give my nephew the antidote and let us go?"

"This batch of goods is for Tiger Roar Nine Desolate Mountains. You dare not offend the big sects that come to you. They can just send a true disciple to hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

"Humph, Brother Lin, you really think I don't know what you said."

"That's right, I can't afford to offend Jiuhuang Mountain, otherwise I wouldn't have intercepted you here." He looked around and smiled.

"If we were a few dozen miles further ahead, I wouldn't dare to continue chasing you. But now, after we get the goods, we will leave. Jiuhuang Mountain won't care about such a trivial matter so far away from the mountain gate."

"You said the goods were destined for Jiuhuang Mountain, but the old man Huang who commissioned you is very shrewd. He's planning to make a fortune from this opportunity. He's deliberately buying up most of the goods entering the mountain and hoarding them."

"Those bigwigs in Jiuhuang Mountain won't care about the interests of a black-hearted businessman."

After saying this, he asked one of his men behind him to come forward.

"Time waits for no one. Hand over the things to our companions. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
