Su Manman watched as the trapped man in black robes silently raised his pistol and aimed!

"Tell me, how did you know I have dragon bones?!"

"Who knows about this?!"

The leader of the men in black robes frowned as he looked at her and spoke coldly.

"We have our rules. If you want to kill, then kill. No need for words!"

Su Manman raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of disdain.

"Even if you don't tell me, I know that Chen Fengdie must have leaked this information. She must have used some special method!"

"Is Lu Xin the person behind you?"

Seeing that she spoke with certainty, the man in black looked surprised and fell silent, sitting down on the ground as if resigned to his fate.

The other men in black robes were not as calm as him, and they all used all their skills to try to break through!

The moment Su Manman pulled the trigger, the man in black was terrified, his eyes wide with horror!

A gunshot rang out, sending a chill down the spines of all the men in black robes!

But her gun veered off course from the area where they were trapped!

[Scaring is one thing, but to actually shoot and kill someone, forgive me, but I cannot do it!!]

Su Manman only shoots guns for fun. If she were to actually use them to kill someone, it would feel like something was missing, since the other person didn't deserve to die!

Just then, a dark figure darted past from behind, deliberately throwing in a handful of burning dry grass as it passed the trap.

There was no open flame on the hay, but smoke kept billowing out, and thick black smoke instantly filled the area locked in by the trap!

When the man in black robes saw the hay, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Even the man in black robes sitting on the ground quickly hid and then rushed out with his men with all their might!

The group was at a loss, seeing the sudden turn of events. Su Manman walked up to Feng Xuan and asked him timidly.

"Uncle Fengxuan, what's wrong with them? What did that figure throw in just now? Have you seen it?"

Feng Xuan casually twitched the corners of her mouth, her voice carrying a hint of disgust.

"That person's witchcraft is impure; he's merely using despicable means to steal people's luck!"

Su Manman nodded thoughtfully, her heart churning with turbulent emotions!

[The witchcraft is impure and it likes to steal people's luck. Could that shadowy figure be Xiao Yan?!]

Xiao Yan was born with extremely bad luck. Despite his passion for medicine, he was repeatedly framed. He had a strong obsession with luck!

[Xiao Yan poisoned Fu Yanzhu's mother back then in an attempt to defy fate, and given that it was herbs that were burned, it's highly likely he was the one!]

Fu Yanzhu clenched his fists secretly, and everyone looked at him in tacit agreement, but they had no idea what he was thinking!

Su Manman opened the system to view the latest information!

A new spectator has appeared: "Xiao Yan." Please check it out, host!

In his youth, Xiao Yan poisoned Fu Yanzhu's mother in exchange for the sorcery that allowed him to steal other people's fortune. While teaching Fu Yanzhu medicine, he also stole the Fu family's fortune until his scheme was exposed, at which point he fled to the Valley Kingdom.

[Witchcraft was prevalent in the Valley Kingdom, and he only learned a superficial understanding. Because he didn't learn orthodox witchcraft, he researched and invented a method that relied on herbs to borrow power!]

[By burning highly poisonous herbs, one forces the other to accept a medicinal gift, thereby robbing them of their luck! This method is extremely vicious, and those who lose their luck often die in the process!]

Su Manman couldn't help but curse when she saw this!

[Xiao Yan is a monster! He was originally a research talent in the medical field, but he went down a path of no return because of the suppression from those around him!]

[To use such a method to deprive someone of their luck is utterly malicious! It's antisocial! They'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals!]

The crowd nodded in unison, glancing at the black-robed figures trapped in the formation. The black mist had dissipated, and the black-robed figures were all lying on the ground, their bodies stiff!

Su Manman took a deep breath and continued reading.

Xiao Yan gained considerable fortune through this method of borrowing luck, and his luck improved steadily. After thirteen years of accumulation, he became somewhat famous in Gu Country. Two years ago, he was found by Lu Xin's men and joined the Dark Night organization.

[Lu Xin has been conducting some kind of insane experiment for many years, and Xiao Yan is very interested in his experiments, which is why he wants to kill Fu Yanzhu!]

Xiao Yan had always wanted to participate in the experiment, but Lu Xin was very protective of the experiment and never let him touch it, only allowing him to offer opinions from afar!

Fu Yanzhu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had a feeling that this experiment must be related to him!

Su Manman looked through the system in confusion, but couldn't find a specific description of the experiment.

The experiment was the reason Xiao Yan wanted to kill Fu Yanzhu, but the specific details of the experiment cannot be found, possibly because Xiao Yan was not the first participant!

[It seems only by meeting Lu Xin can we find out what he's up to!]

Everyone fell silent, except for Feng Xuan, whose eyes shone brightly!

Fu Yanzhu, the real test is about to begin!

Seeing that everyone had fallen into an eerie silence, Lu Chuan couldn't help but break the silence.

"It's getting late, shouldn't we be going?!"

"Set off!"

Fu Yanzhu looked ahead, his gaze passing through a grove of trees and looking towards the distant F City. Then, he took Su Manman's hand and walked firmly at the front!

The group returned to the place where the police had set up a checkpoint, only to find that everyone had left.

Fu Yanzhu gave a disdainful smile. "The Noodle Kingdom is just a small, chaotic place!"

At 7 p.m., the group arrived at the Q City Hotel.

After a long and tiring journey, everyone was exhausted and unanimously decided to order room service at the hotel for dinner.

As they parted, Fu Yanzhu gave instructions.

"Everyone, be careful lately, watch out for someone poisoning us. After all, that dark figure in the woods hasn't shown up yet!"

The group exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

For the next few days, everyone was extra careful. They would check for poisoning during meals and leave people on duty during rest periods, but nothing happened until they were almost out of Q City when the accident occurred.

Q City, Qilu Machi Town, 9 PM.

Lu Chuan stepped on the gas and parked the car in front of a small restaurant.

"This town is so desolate. I see all the other restaurants are closed. Let's just eat here!"

Fu Yanzhu nodded, making the final decision.

"Let's do it here!"

The restaurant wasn't very big and looked a bit run-down, but the tables and chairs were very clean!

The proprietress, who was in her forties, not only refused to serve customers but also looked displeased.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late, we need to close up shop!"

As the proprietress spoke, she tried to shoo people out, but Lu Chuan, who was standing at the front, immediately became angry.

"Hey, I've never seen anyone like you before, actively pushing customers away!"

The proprietress turned around anxiously, clearly flustered. Seeing that she hadn't been discovered, she immediately put her index finger to her lips.

Shh! Keep your voice down, I'm saving you!

After the proprietress finished speaking, she looked back again, and seeing that no one was coming, she immediately chased people away!

"You all need to get out of here! This isn't a place to eat!"
