She wasn't joking at all. The blade slid rapidly across the hostage's neck, and just as it was about to penetrate, the hostage suddenly shouted, "You can't kill me! My dad is the boss of this ranch!"

The clouds stopped.

"oh?"

Seeing that this tactic was working, the hostage quickly continued, "If you kill me, my father will not let you go. He will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and make sure you never have a peaceful life."

Yun Jian waited for a while, but nothing came of it, and she was a little disappointed: "That's it?"

The hostage frowned in confusion. He had already said everything. What else was there to say?

Yun Jian sighed, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Even if you don't tell me where the divine flower is, you'll still die."

However, this person was foolish enough to reveal his identity, which saved Yun Jian the trouble of finding the next hostage. As the son of the leader, he couldn't possibly not know where the Divine Flower was.

The same action happened again, and the hostage screamed in fright, "I'll talk!"

He had truly felt Yun Jian's murderous intent just now; this woman was serious!

The man looked dejected and heartbroken: "Xiao Yan, you can't say that! The Divine Flower is the culmination of the ranch's many years of hard work. If you reveal it, it will be a devastating blow to the ranch!"

The hostage, pale-faced, gave a laugh. "But if I don't tell, she'll kill me! My dad certainly doesn't want to come back to find my corpse."

"Then you can't..."

He didn't finish his sentence; given Xiao Yan's personality, it was impossible for him not to betray her.

He was a little annoyed. Why did he have to pick Xiao Yan, that good-for-nothing?

Yun Jian's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. "Are you done talking? If you're done, take me to find your third horned horse."

Upon hearing this, the man looked up abruptly and immediately understood what Yun Jian meant.

He became even more annoyed. "What do you want to do?"

Yun Jian glanced at him. "Didn't you already guess?"

"You dare!"

There are only three lead horses in total. If the horns of all three lead horses are cut off, then the remaining horned horses will not amount to anything.

Wildebeest need a lead horse to unleash their full potential in a group attack; without a lead horse, they are nothing!

Moreover... the horns of the lead horse are non-renewable.

Who knows how long it will take to raise the next lead horse? If the Divine Flower is gone, they can still snatch another one, but the Wildebeest is a major asset for them to establish themselves on the grassland. If the Wildebeest is gone, then Baba Ranch will really have to fall apart.

He quickly gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look. No, we absolutely cannot let them find that last stag horse!

However, Xiao Yan avoided eye contact and did not respond to his warning.

He even gave Yun Jian a fawning smile: "The horned horse, right? I know where it is, this way please, heroine... My dad treasures that horned horse so much, he built a yurt for it and has people to take care of it. It even has six horns on its head!"

Yun Jian recalled that the horns of the two lead horses she had cut off seemed to have six rings.

After being led around in circles by this kid, we finally arrived at the yurt he had mentioned. "Heroine, this is it. Since I've been so obedient, could you... perhaps extend your knife a little further out?"

He reached out and tentatively pushed Yun Jian's knife.

To everyone's surprise, the blade pressed in even further the moment it touched the surface.

He was almost in tears, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, you don't have to be so cruel."

Seeing that Yun ignored him, she was about to reach out to lift the curtain when she suddenly remembered something and pushed the hostage in front of her forward, saying, "You go in first."

The hostage took two steps forward and then suddenly stopped.

Phew, that was close.

Just when he thought he had escaped Yun Jian's control, he saw Yun Jian take out an ordinary little pebble, and with a flick of her fingers, a dark humanoid figure appeared beside her.

"White Nose, you take this kid inside and have a look."

"yes."

The hostage lowered his head slightly and had just taken out a ruler when White Nose appeared beside him.

He didn't take White Nose seriously. This dark guy looked dull and couldn't be controlled. As long as the woman didn't make a move, he could easily escape with this Shrinking Ruler.

"Goodbye! Your biggest mistake today was letting go of me!"

Unexpectedly, before he could even activate the Shrinking Ruler, his collar was grabbed, and most importantly, a terrifying aura emanated from the person.

The aura made him feel dangerous, and he had to stay away.

He looked up and saw Yun Jian smiling at him from across the room.

"Tell me, where did I go wrong?"

The hostages could no longer laugh.

With a pained expression, he was dragged into the yurt by the white-nosed man. As soon as he entered, good heavens, the ground was fake, and underneath were sharp knives, the kind that could stab you right through as soon as you went in.

Just as the hostage was lamenting that he hadn't managed to trick Yun Jian and could only trick the black guy, White Nose, as expected, fell into the trap.

but……

The black man had been stabbed several times all over his body, but he didn't bleed a drop of blood.

They can even move around normally.

With one hand holding him, he expressionlessly pulled his body out of the daggers with the other. Because the daggers were so dense, the black man even stabbed himself into another dagger while pulling one out, but he seemed to feel nothing and continued to pull out the daggers.

There wasn't even a trace of pain on his face.

The hostages were stunned.

What kind of monster is this? How come it's still alive?

But then something even more surprising happened: in order to get out of the trap, the black creature actually sprouted a pair of wings out of thin air and carried him out with them.

hostage:"??"

Are there humans with wings?

Is this some kind of new type of monster?

As soon as Bai Bi saw Yun Jian, he burst into tears of grievance. "This guy is lying! It was clearly a trap inside. There were so many sharp knives inside that they stabbed me to death. Look, I have several big holes stabbed in my body!"

"Waaaaah...it hurts, I need gunpowder to help..."

Yun Jian calmly took out a packet of gunpowder and gave it to him.

These past few days, she's gotten used to Bai Bi acting like this. Ever since the nitrate mine was destroyed and Yun Jian ran out of gunpowder, Bai Bi has been like a different person. Whenever something happens, he cries to her and asks for gunpowder.

Yun Jian went along with them, treating it like coaxing a child.

The hostages were dumbfounded. This guy was now crying foul? All those holes in his body were clearly from when he pulled out the knife; he stabbed himself in the process.

Before he could finish his exclamation, a cold gaze suddenly swept over him.

The hostage shrank back and quickly explained to himself, "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you, my dad was worried about his precious horse, so he set up traps inside. We just need to avoid those traps when we go in."

Yun Jian looked at Bai Bi, who promptly reported to Yun Jian: "There is indeed a horned horse with six rings on its head inside, and it looks quite robust."

Yun Jian handed his knife to Bai Bi, saying, "Go in and cut off its horns."
