When Shen Miao counted the number of people, she found that Xuan Ran's army was half gone.

The remaining soldiers were mostly missing limbs, which saddened Shen Miao. She knew that war was cruel, but sometimes peace had to be maintained through war.

"Cheer up, everyone! Search carefully again and try not to miss a single crocodile orc or rat orc!" Shen Miao coldly ordered.

A Xuanran soldier discovered a baby crocodile, dragged him out of the grass, and intended to torture and kill him.

The other Xuanran troops did not stop it.

The baby crocodile was only three or four years old and it was so scared that it kept crying.

Shen Miao strode over, snatched the baby crocodile from Xuan Ran's soldier, and yelled, "Are you crazy? How could you hurt such a tiny baby?!"

The soldier Xuan Ran was stunned and stammered, "But boss, you said you wouldn't let any crocodile beastman go."

"I'm talking about adult orcs who can fight, not cubs. What's the use of killing such a small cub? How could you do that!" Shen Miao rebuked.

The soldier muttered, "But he's also a member of the crocodile clan."

Shen Miao remained silent: "Not all the crocodile tribe members are your enemies. Your enemies are those warriors. Go, go, go find them again."

The soldier left.

Shen Miao then gave an order that anyone who found any more crocodile cubs should not kill them, but bring them all over. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished for violating military discipline.

After the order was given, Shen Miao looked at the tiny baby crocodile and felt somewhat troubled.

This little guy is too big to kill, but... well, I'll just take him back with me later.

After settling the little one in, Shen Miao went to search with Qing Chen and Jiu Ying.

It has to be said that the Crocodile Clan's territory is quite large and winding, making it very easy to hide people. Shen Miao thought to herself, "This chieftain really had foresight to turn the tribe into this."

Knowing that our race will eventually be wiped out, let's make some arrangements.

"oops!"

As they walked, suddenly their footing gave way, and Shen Miao plummeted straight down. Qing Chen lunged to catch her, but it was too late; he couldn't stop her.

Without hesitation, he jumped down as well.

The pit wasn't deep; at least Shen Miao didn't break any arms or legs after falling in, only her butt hurt a little. She looked at Qing Chen, who had followed her down, and asked curiously, "What are you doing down here too?"

Qingchen didn't answer, but simply reached out and pulled Shen Miao up.

Shen Miao was flattered and stood up with Qing Chen's help. She looked around and saw a dark hole: "What's that?"

Qingchen shook his head, walked over and glanced inside, saying, "It's a secret passage."

"A secret passage?" Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, then limped over, clutching her buttocks.

At this moment, Jiuying, who had not seen them come up, couldn't help but shout, "Why aren't you coming up? What's down there?"

Shen Miao then realized she had forgotten about Jiu Ying, and quickly went out and called out to the cave entrance, "Jiu Ying, we've found a secret passage, come down quickly!"

Upon hearing that it was a secret passage, Jiuying agreed and quickly slid down from it.

The three of them discussed it at the entrance and decided to go in together to take a look.

Shen Miao walked in front, Qing Chen followed closely behind, and Jiu Ying walked at the back. The light in the secret passage was not very good, and Shen Miao calmly took out a flashlight from her space.

Qingchen and Jiuying were already used to it and pretended not to see anything.

Shen Miao coughed. She had originally wanted to explain, but seeing the two of them like this, she was too happy to say anything.

The secret passage was damp and had a strange smell, as if no one had been here for a long time. This puzzled Shen Miao. Had no one been here for a long time?

"careful!"

Qingchen suddenly shouted, and then saw countless arrows flying out from nowhere. The secret passage was narrow, and the three of them had great difficulty dodging.

Just when Shen Miao felt she was about to run out of strength, the rain of arrows finally stopped.

However, she later realized that she had been too naive. This wave of arrows was just a test, and countless more waves were waiting for them.

One time, a rain of arrows came so suddenly that Shen Miao didn't have time to react. Fortunately, Qing Chen turned around and stood in front of her, preventing her from getting hurt. However, an arrow was stuck in Qing Chen's back.

You're injured!

After dodging the rain of arrows, Shen Miao and Jiu Ying helped Qing Chen to a safe place to sit down. Qing Chen didn't care and seemed not to feel any pain. He said indifferently, "Pull it out."

Shen Miao hesitated and said, "If you pull it out now, you'll bleed a lot, and you won't be able to handle it."

Qingchen looked at her and said, "It's okay, just pull it out."

With this arrow in hand, the road ahead will be anything but easy.

Shen Miao gritted her teeth and took out all the best equipment in the space, leaving Jiu Ying dumbfounded: "You, you, you, what is this...?"

Shen Miao said domineeringly, "Don't ask anything, just watch."

"Okay, fine." Jiuying's expression was complicated.

Qingchen also quietly watched Shen Miao. Shen Miao didn't dare to meet his gaze and focused on her work. She was also teaching Jiu Ying and had him assist her.

After a tense period of preparation, Shen Miao finally took action, pulling the arrow out of Qing Chen's back. She then quickly sprinkled hemostatic powder on it and took out a bandage, wrapping it around Qing Chen's back.

Qingchen has been injured many times, but never before has she been treated with such importance.

"Alright, from now on, you must always remember that you are an injured person, so don't always rush to the front in everything," Shen Miao instructed.

Qingchen hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

Shen Miao was very satisfied. She put away the extra things and continued walking forward. After walking for about ten minutes, a wall appeared in front of them.

The wall is blocking our way; to get through, we have to knock it down.

Shen Miao touched the thick wall, wondering if she could open it with her special ability, but she had to try anyway.

She turned to the other two and said, "The wall is blocking the way. I can't get through. I'm going to break down the wall. You two should step back to avoid getting hurt."

"Wait!" Jiuying stepped forward and carefully examined the wall, touching it and looking at it closely, as if she were studying something.

Shen Miao asked curiously, "Is there anything strange about this wall?"

Jiuying shook his head: "It's not strange, but it's connected to another mechanism. If we force it open, it will definitely cause a series of destructions."

It's possible that something behind the wall was damaged.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao couldn't help but stick out her tongue. It was actually that serious. Luckily, Jiu Ying stopped them in time, otherwise, wouldn't they have come in for nothing?

"Do you have a way to open it?" Shen Miao asked humbly.

Jiuying nodded: "Yes."

Shen Miao stepped back a few paces, giving Jiu Ying room to maneuver.
