Xiao Zhen's pupils shrank instantly as she recalled that strange gust of wind.

"You ambushed me!"

One of the men with slanted eyes laughed smugly, "What else? We originally planned to use you to distract the snake so we could get the medicine ourselves, but we didn't expect you to take it. But it doesn't matter, the final result is pretty much the same anyway."

Xiao Zhen quickly removed the ice suit that hindered her movement, immediately took out her escape gear, and prepared to activate it.

Another gust of wind blew straight into her face, and she could barely hold onto the props in her hands.

The man with slanted eyes chuckled, "As expected, little girls are easy to deal with; a gentle blow and they're gone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen simply gave up trying to maintain her balance and let the wind blow her away.

She thought she would bump into a tree branch or fall hard to the ground, but in the end, she found herself in a warm and soft embrace.

Xiao Zhen quickly looked up and saw Yun Jian's tightly pursed lips.

"Sister Yun..."

Yun Jian didn't answer, put Xiao Zhen back on the ground, and glared at the two of them with a murderous look.

She chuckled: "What kind of skill is it for two grown men to bully a little girl? Aren't you ashamed?"

The two exchanged a glance, hesitation flashing in their eyes. But then, as if making a decision, the man with the slanted eyes took a step forward. "So this little girl is yours. No wonder you're both equally annoying."

"You recognize me?"

Yun Jian looked at the man in front of her carefully, but really couldn't remember him.

"The famous Yun Jian, who doesn't know him?" The man sneered, took out his prop, and assumed an attack stance.

Yun Jian also cautiously watched the two's every move. Just as she was on guard, she suddenly felt her feet slip and a familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over her.

Yun Jian: "#￥%..."

It's that skill again!

He always caught her off guard.

A voice with slanted eyes came from above, "Hand over all the red medicine you've collected, or I'll take that little girl's life."

Yun Jian's eyes narrowed, and he took out a large rock from his backpack, which immediately filled most of the pit. Yun Jian jumped onto the rock, then took out a smaller rock, and then stood on the smaller rock. He repeated this several times and jumped out of the pit.

However, when she came out, only the man with slanted eyes was left outside; Xiao Zhen and the other man had long since disappeared.

"Stop looking, she's already been taken away. If you want her to live, hand over all the red medicine you've collected. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll get a corpse back."

Seeing Yun Jian's gloomy face, the man with slanted eyes didn't say much either, "If you've thought it through, then come to Li Meng. Our boss is waiting for you!"

After saying that, the man with slanted eyes ran away.

Bai Yu arrived at this moment, and seeing the broken branches and leaves all over the ground and the large pit, he immediately understood, "The Li Alliance people came? Where is Xiao Zhen?"

Yun Jian looked at him: "Didn't we say you two should act together?"

Bai Yu looked aggrieved: "We separated. I looked for Zi Yao, and she looked for Huang Yao. Did something happen to her?"

"They were taken away by the Li Alliance. They told us to take the red medicine to exchange for it."

Bai Yu's face instantly darkened. "They're so damn despicable! The Li Alliance is so shameless! Damn it, they get involved in everything. Xiao Zhen is a girl, and their camp is full of men. It's terrifying to think about."

[Holy crap, now that Bai Yu said that, it dawned on me.]

"It's true, those men from the Li Alliance are capable of anything. Xiao Zhen's situation is extremely dangerous right now."

[Oh my god, I hate philanderers the most! They're all beasts!]

[Forget it, let's just get rid of the Li Alliance quickly. Leaving this menace in the jungle is too much of a nuisance.]

Yun Jian and Bai Yu didn't linger either. Yun Jian thought Bai Yu was too slow, so he simply grabbed Bai Yu's good arm and ran all the way to the entrance of Li Meng's camp.

As if he were carsick, Bai Yu vomited as soon as he arrived at his destination, leaning against the wall.

The Li Alliance members were well-prepared. To prevent a repeat of the situation at the last meat feast, Li Tao specially strengthened the security, not only building a wall around the camp but also erecting sharp stones on it.

Yun realized that the method she had used to sneak in last time wouldn't work.

You can only use the door.

As she walked toward their gate, she heard shouts coming from inside Li Meng's camp: "The one surnamed Yun is here! Be on high alert! Level one alert!"

Immediately, the sound of people running could be heard, and without saying a word, they surrounded Yun Jian.

Furthermore, those surrounding Yun Jian were all fully armed, with only their eyes and nostrils showing.

Yun Jian: "..."

Why did she feel inexplicably honored to see Li Tao making such a big fuss to welcome her?

She was pushed forward by the crowd.

Li Tao somehow got hold of a chair, covered it with an animal skin, and sat there in a languid posture, glancing at Yun Jian out of the corner of his eye.

However... he was shrouded in a thin layer of light.

[This is hilarious! He looks just like a mountain bandit!]

[I feel the same way. I think Yun Jian was kidnapped to be a bandit's wife.]

[Hahaha, Li Tao is such a coward, yet he loves to put on airs. He's clearly terrified that Yun Jian will attack him, but he acts like he's the local tyrant. Isn't that ridiculous!]

Please understand, they're probably worried about having to do a striptease again!

Seeing Yun Jian's gaze fall on his defensive shield, Li Tao felt a surge of anger rising within him.

"I never thought we'd meet again. You're pretty tough. So many wolves couldn't kill you. How come you're so resilient?"

Yun smiled and said, "You flatter me."

Li Tao sneered again, "I really want to kill you, what should I do?"

Yun Jian also laughed, "What a coincidence, I also wanted to kill you, but who knew you would hide like a turtle and put on a defensive shield so early on, I had nowhere to start."

Li Tao habitually touched his ear, his anger burning even brighter.

"Coward? Isn't this what you forced me into? Your despicable and insidious methods are truly hard to guard against. But today, if you want to plot against me, you'd better think twice about that little girl's life!"

Yun Jian's eyes turned cold. "Where is Xiao Zhen?"

"Let's not talk about where she is for now. I'd like to know how many red herbs the wealthy man Yun Jian has collected. Why don't you take them out and let me have a look?"

"You wish!"

"Then there's nothing we can do. Guess what situation that girl is in now?"

Yun Jian suppressed the urge to stab Li Tao through the head with his sword, and forcefully suppressed his anger, "If she loses even a single finger, I'll blow up your camp!"

Recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier, Li Tao felt a chill run down his spine, but his expression remained unchanged, still displaying his composed and confident demeanor: "Then you try it and see whether I die first, or that little girl."
