As Qu Ruilin made his compromise, the members of the Black Robe Organization all stopped what they were doing.

Seeing his shouting, Cao Xiong grinned and said, "Looks like you really like this girl."

"Qu Ruilin! You can't agree to him! We are sworn enemies with Jinbai International! It's just a life, it's nothing to lose! If you cooperate with these beasts, where will the reputation of the Four Gates be?"

Wei Shengnan had prepared herself to die and shouted at Qu Ruilin, "If you agree to their conditions, all our efforts will be in vain, and the humiliation we have suffered will never be washed away!"

"Shut her up."

Cao Xiong waved his hand, ordering his men to gag Wei Shengnan, and then asked Qu Ruilin unhurriedly, "Did her words just now sway you? If you change your mind and decide to continue to resist, I don't care."

Qu Ruilin was silent for a few seconds: "Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"

"Heh, you're quite smart! Even if you want revenge, you have to save your life first, right?"

Cao Xiong sat back down by the campfire, skillfully peeling an apple with his military dagger: "In this mountain, there are three altars, which enshrine the three divine beasts from the Miao legend. We found the cave where the Golden Sheep was, and discovered that its head had been removed, and its body had been destroyed by explosives! But through the traces, we can still see that there was a key behind the sheep's head, right?"

Qu Ruilin glanced at Wei Shengnan, who was hanging upside down, and nodded: "Yes!"

Seeing that Qu Ruilin had responded, Cao Xiong started eating an apple: "Continue."

"We entered this mountainous area originally to find the entrance to the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, but we accidentally discovered the Golden Sheep Cave and took the sheep's head! Later, due to an accident, we discovered the Golden Rooster Cave! These two animal heads do indeed look like keys!"

Qu Ruilin paused for a moment: "We came to this mountain to search for other beast heads, but we don't know what those beasts are yet."

"It's a cow."

Cao Xiong replied, "In a legend of a certain Miao tribe, these three animals protected them from natural disasters, so they were worshipped! If you want to save other people's lives, it's simple: give us the sheep's head and the chicken's head, and then find the cow's head for us!"

Upon hearing Cao Xiong's question, Qu Ruilin countered with, "If I agree to your conditions, how can you guarantee our safety?"

Cao Xiong said arrogantly, "You have no choice. Agree to my conditions now, and at least I can guarantee your survival! Otherwise, most of the people here will die right now... Tell me where the sheep's head and the chicken's head are?"

Qu Ruilin sighed: "In Qingyun Town, in the home of a villager named Li Changyou! There is a cellar in their backyard, and we hid the animal head there."

"Is the item in Qingyun Town?"

Cao Xiong frowned and looked at Qu Ruilin: "What did the escort vehicle you sent earlier take away?"

Qu Ruilin replied listlessly, "It's just a smokescreen. It only contains samples. It was Song Laosan's idea. He said no one would think we would hide such an important thing in a villager's cellar. It's like the darkest hour is under the lamp."

“You are indeed very clever. We never expected you to be so bold.”

Cao Xiong smiled and asked, "How many people are guarding that courtyard?"

"A dozen or so people were hiding in the front and back courtyards respectively. People in the back courtyard could see what was happening in the front courtyard."

Qu Ruilin paused for a moment: "I've told you everything I know. Can you release my men now?"

When Cao Xiong heard Qu Ruilin make his demands, he waved his hand gently, signaling his men to do as he was told: "My men will go and get those two beast heads tonight. If the plan goes smoothly, you will be our guide tomorrow morning to find the Golden Bull Cave. Once you get the bull's head, your men will live."

Qu Ruilin was put down from the pillar, shook his head and said, "Before we start working, you must release Wei Shengnan! I will only agree to your conditions if I am sure she is safe!"

“You have no right to negotiate with me! I know that you people are all fearless and don’t value your own lives, so I can only threaten you with each other’s lives. Either you gamble that I still have humanity, or I will kill someone right now.”

Cao Xiong threw the apple core into the campfire: "Get some rest. We'll set off again first thing tomorrow morning. Don't even think about doing anything sneaky. Your lives are worthless to me."

I overheard their conversation and took a deep breath.

The Black Robe Organization is too cunning.

They used this method to coerce Qu Ruilin into finding the Golden Bull Cave, not only eliminating their opponents but also avoiding the risks they might encounter upon entering the cave.

The thought that they were planning to search for the Golden Bull Cave early the next morning made me slowly back away.

I don't intend to save anyone.

There are too many members of the Black Robe Organization here, and their weapons and equipment are very advanced. With the weapons we have, we simply cannot confront them head-on, let alone rescue them.

In a split second, I made my decision.

They set off overnight, trying to enter the Golden Bull Cave before the Black Robe Organization.

If we can acquire all three animal heads, we will be able to win this competition and leave Duan Jinyan and the other competitors behind.

As for Wei Shengnan and the others who have been detained, the only thing I can do is ensure my own safety first, and then inform Wei Qingzhong about this matter so that the Wei family can find a way to rescue them.

With this plan in mind, I began to slowly retreat with Manjing.

"Beep beep! Beep beep!"

Just as I was backing away, an instrument by the campfire suddenly went off, the piercing sound startling me.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xiong and the others all stood up, guns in hand.

One of them picked up a device, looked at it, and pointed to the other side, saying, "The infrared alarm has been triggered!"

Cao Xiong waved his hand: "This height shouldn't be for animals! Go over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of the other men took out their guns and walked forward.

Hearing their conversation, I picked up the composite crossbow in my hand and quickly reached for it.

The direction they were referring to was exactly where Jiang Man had taken the detour.

This means that Jiang Man and her group have been exposed.

I have just witnessed the ruthlessness of these people. I can ignore Wei Shengnan and the others, but I absolutely cannot back down when my teammates are in danger.

"Beep beep!"

As I took a few steps forward, I heard a piercing sound at my feet.

Looking down, I saw an alarm hidden in a crevice in the rocks, its red light flashing.

"Oh shit!"

Cao Xiong was drawn to the sound and immediately turned around, pointing his gun at me.

I was already carrying a compound crossbow when I moved forward. The instant Cao Xiong raised his hand, I aimed at his chest and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
