As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
Hearing these words, the man's face gradually turned to despair. Finally, he gritted his teeth, picked up a stone from the ground, and charged towards the pursuers while shouting.
"I'll fight you to the death! I'd rather die than go with you!"
The pursuers' faces flashed with mockery when they saw the man suddenly attack.
"Alright, fourth brother, you have no equipment on you, and you still want to fight us? You want to die? We won't let you!"
A metallic clanging sound rang out, and the large rock in the hands of the man named Lao Si was knocked away.
"If that's all you're capable of, you might as well not resist!"
The man closed his eyes, his face filled with resentment, his body trembling with anger: "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you disregard brotherly affection and force me like this. You will surely die a horrible death, your corpses torn apart by wolves!"
"We don't know if we'll die a good death, but you're cursing us like this, we swear you won't die a good death!"
The group talked and laughed, as if in their eyes, the man called Lao Si had become their prey, a sitting duck.
One of the men, seemingly annoyed by the pursuit, said, "Alright, hurry up and take him back, or he'll miss Li Meng's meat feast!"
The fourth brother's face was filled with despair. "Ha, it's just for a meal of meat."
"That's still better than going hungry. If we join the Li Alliance, we won't have to live like this anymore, barely knowing where our next meal is coming from. We can also earn some points along the way. All these benefits only require sacrificing one of you..."
As the man spoke, he had already taken out a rope.
The man struggled desperately, but he was no match for three people.
They were quickly tied up.
"Knock him out so we can take him away," one of the men suggested. Then, he picked up a stick from the roadside and prepared to hit the man on the head with all his might.
Suddenly, a dagger flew past. The man was still wondering where the dagger came from when he saw the bloodstains on it.
He belatedly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
Looking down, he saw that both his hands had been severed at the root!
Blood gushed out, and only then did the man realize his fear, screaming, "Ah—my hand! My hand!"
Yun Jian jumped down from the tree where she was hiding and said with disdain, "Your reaction is really slow."
The man, who was in a panic, immediately changed his expression when he saw Yun Jian suddenly appear. Despite his fear, he couldn't help but show uncontrollable joy on his face.
He clearly had the intention to kill and steal.
The fourth brother, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly hid behind Yun Jian, crying out, "Heroine, save me! Heroine, save me!"
Seeing that Yun Jian didn't take any action, he quickly added, "When you were in the tornado before, they tried to ambush you; they threw stones into the tornado!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jian's eyes narrowed instantly.
His gaze toward the group was filled with murderous intent.
She almost died in a tornado because a few pebbles tore her raincoat!
Yun Jian glanced at the group, a smile playing on her lips. "Is that so? What a small world!"
One of the men on the other side cursed under his breath, "Damn it, killing one is the same as killing two! We've finally found a big fat sheep, we've really hit the jackpot!"
Yun Jian listened to their grand pronouncements and simply smiled.
Then he slowly drew the bow and arrow he had snatched from Li Tao and aimed it at one of them.
The man whose hands had been killed by Yun Jian earlier now harbored an unprecedented level of hatred towards Yun Jian. Upon hearing these words, he stubbornly refused to faint and insisted on fighting even without his hands!
"Let's risk it, kill her, and we'll make a killing!"
However……
After he shouted those words, he heard no response from those around him.
Turning my head, I saw no one around me.
The two brothers who were originally standing next to him had long since run into the depths of the jungle.
One of them even shouted to him, "Second brother, you hold them off for now, we'll go to the Li Alliance to get reinforcements for you!"
Second brother: "..."
Damn it, you're letting a man with no hands fight a female demon all by himself?
Running away is one thing, but coming up with such a high-sounding reason!
Then he looked at the bow in Yun Jian's hand and it looked very familiar.
So, right in front of Yunjian, the second brother rolled his eyes and fainted.
Yun Jian glanced at him, ignored him, and chased after the two who had run away.
Seeing that his crisis was over, the fourth brother was overjoyed and prepared to leave. But then, another person jumped down from the tree and grabbed the rope binding him. "You think you can just run away after getting something for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
The fourth man immediately became alert, "Who are you?"
Bai Yu kicked the second brother, who was lying on the ground, twice, then looked up in the direction Yun Jian had left, raised his chin slightly, and gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "I am Lei Feng."
Fourth Brother: "..."
Seeing this, Yun slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the two fleeing people.
"At that speed, do you think you can escape?"
She raised her bow, nocked two arrows, and aimed them at the two men.
When the two saw Yun Jian reappear before them, they panicked even more. Seeing the arrows pointed at them, they simply begged Yun Jian to let them go.
"Master Yun, please spare us! We had no choice. It was all because of the bounty offered by the Li Alliance. We were blinded by greed and just wanted to survive!"
"Yes, yes, we don't have as many points as you. The environment here is too harsh, and most of the resources are controlled by the Li Alliance. If we don't join them, we simply can't survive!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jian's expression relaxed slightly. "You just want to survive?"
Upon hearing Yun Jian's tone, the two were overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Yes, who doesn't want to live? But the Li Alliance is too despicable. They are growing rapidly. Li Tao is always ruthless and vicious. We have been exploited by him to the point that we have no choice but to surrender. He is not giving us a way to survive!"
The two quickly began to accuse Li Tao, crying and shouting. Seeing that Yun's complexion was getting better, they cursed Li Tao even more fiercely.
At the same time, the two were secretly pleased, thinking that women are indeed soft-hearted and that a few kind words are enough.
But even after the two ran out of words in their argument, Yun Jian showed no sign of lowering the arrow.
Seeing the two stop, Yun Jian asked earnestly, "Why did you stop cursing? I haven't had enough!"
The two looked grim and frantically searched their minds for any words they could think of, but before they could say anything, they heard Yun Jian's smiling voice ring out in their ears.
"Since you can't curse anymore, then hand over everything you have!"
The two men looked up abruptly. "What? Weren't you going to let us go?"
Yun Jian tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Did I say I was going to release you?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically. They were no match for Yun Jian in a fight, and with grim expressions, they wanted to question him back. Before they could even open their mouths, Yun Jian shot out two arrows that pierced through their knees.
"Hand over all your points and items!"
