When he started touching the wound, the other person would scream, but in less than two minutes, no matter how he pulled, the other person did not react. Liu Fengya's eyes couldn't help but start to shine. Although it was an over-the-counter drug, the anesthetic effect was so good, which was beyond his expectations.

Seeing that the medicine had taken effect, Liu Fengya quickly pulled out the arrowhead and handed it to the villagers nearby to handle. These arrowheads were very precious now, and not a single one could be wasted.

After quickly stitching up the wound and applying some simple medicine, I left it alone. My initial thought was how to use these people in front of me to test the medicine on myself.

"Now you can talk, right?" Yun Jianying saw that the villagers beside him had already tied everyone together, so he also pulled a hemp rope from his waist, wrapped it around his wound, and tied him up as well.

"When we first started fleeing, everyone had plenty of supplies, but when we ran out of water, we started to do crooked things." He glanced back at his companions as he said this, and seeing many people in the crowd glaring at him, he quickly turned away.

"The first one was a small family, but they had a cow, so they brought the most supplies. At that time, we pretended to have secretly found a water source and planned to go and fetch water when no one was paying attention. We had someone pretend to give themselves away in front of their family, leading them to follow us and secretly leave the main group. Once we got to a remote place, we would be in charge."

He paused here, "At first, we just wanted to take the supplies and didn't want to hurt anyone. Who knew that the man from that family would yell that he would go back and let the whole team know about our evil deeds. At that time, we didn't know what we were thinking, so we tied them up and put them in a remote place. As for their future, we left it to fate. But since then, we have never seen that family again."

They all surrounded him, without interrupting or asking questions, and listened quietly to his story.

"Later, whenever we ran out of food and water along the way, we would look for families with few people but plenty of supplies. But after two or three times, everyone became wary and few people were willing to leave the group. At this point, the leader took out some anesthetic drugs. It was said that even an elephant could be knocked out with just a little bit. We blew the drugs into the noses of our targets while everyone was asleep. After they were completely unconscious, we took them and their belongings away."

"Since he's already unconscious, you can just take the things away. Why take him away too?" Yun Jianying felt that what they were doing was unnecessary, so he asked.

"When we were using these drugs, we had some people test their effects. When they inhaled the anesthetic, they were conscious for a period of time, but they couldn't move or make a sound. If we left them in the group, we would all be exposed."

“But we didn’t actually kill them; we just tied them up and put them in a corner,” he quickly added, as if he had just remembered something.

“What’s the difference between what you’re doing and killing them? Don’t you know how many poisonous snakes and wild beasts there are along the way? Besides, you tied them up and threw them in a corner. Even if they find a chance to be rescued later, how far can they go without supplies and water?” Brother Wu really didn’t expect that they would commit crimes like this.

"So, are you waiting until you run out of supplies before continuing your crimes?" Brother Wu thought about how his family members had secretly followed this group for several days, but all they saw was them obediently making their way.

"Yes, and we also know that you brothers have been following us for a while. There are other people in the team who have also secretly followed us, but we found out about them all." Since he had already said it, he might as well spill everything he knew.

“No wonder, everyone suspected it was you back then, but we couldn’t find any evidence. Are you following us this time to subdue us all in the same way?” Brother Wu thought about how they had been tailing them all along, and if it weren’t for the barbs buried in the ground, they might not have been exposed so quickly.

At this point, he stopped talking, clearly having been proven right. Everyone realized that if they hadn't been careful, they might have been tied up and left unconscious on the ground. Who knows what might have happened in this desolate wilderness? Some even got kicked a couple of times by people nearby.

"Brother Hou, what should we do with these people?" No one in the team has any sympathy for these people anymore.

"Tie them up and put them in a corner. Now it's up to them to decide their fate." After thinking for a moment, the monkey decided to deal with them in their own way.

"Should we give them some sleeping pills too? What if they stay awake and call for help, attracting passersby? Wouldn't that endanger other people?" Brother Wu looked at the intersection and knew that people must frequently walk around here, as some of the soil on the ground had been trampled down.

"Just gag them, don't waste any more of this anesthetic." Liu Fengya hugged the box tightly to his chest. This was meant to be given to his master for research, not to be misused.

"Everyone, tie them up tighter. We'll take them a little further ahead and then put them down in a more secluded spot." The monkey didn't want these people to continue harming others. Thinking that it would be even more secluded the further ahead, he decided to wait until they got there and find a place to put them down.

Thinking of those innocent people who might have died tragically, no one said anything more after that.

Looking at the time on his wrist, he realized there was still some time before dawn. He decided to drag everyone to the edge of the camp and have someone keep watch while the others took the opportunity to catch up on sleep. He had seen everyone resting before, but he had been too nervous to fall asleep. Now, he could say that he hadn't had a good night's rest for two nights in a row. If he didn't catch up on sleep soon, he might not be able to hold on.

They have weathered the crisis, and the city leaders have also received good news.

"We've found it!" Old Ma came running over; his voice arrived before he did.

"You dug it up?" Chief Kuang and his men immediately stood up and rushed over.

"Yes, but it hasn't been completely dug up yet, so we don't know what it is." Old Ma turned around and came back immediately after hearing the report that it had been found, without even having time to go to the site to check it out.

"It's good that we found it; that's hope. Come on, let's go take a look." As soon as Chief Kuang finished speaking, he grabbed Old Ma's hand and made him take him over to see the place without waiting for the others.

Old Ma was also very curious about what had been dug out, so he quickly followed them outside.

Seeing that they had disappeared in a hurry, the remaining people put down what they were doing and quickly followed them out.
