Xie Yunjiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had only recently obtained this treasure and had only used it a few times, the number of times she could count on one hand.
But it works well every time and can safely get her to her destination.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She didn't know what was going on, she just felt a powerful force pulling at her body.
No, to be more precise, she simply couldn't resist such a strong pulling force.
On the contrary, Zhou Ming, who held her tightly, was able to use his internal energy to stabilize himself for a while, but he soon succumbed to the force.
He looked down at Xie Yunjiao in his arms, curled his lips, and hugged her tighter.
This time, no matter what, he will hold Xie Yunjiao tightly and will never let go.
After the space gate sucked Xie Yunjiao and Zhou Ming in, it began to gradually shrink.
Gu Huai rushed forward, but was pushed back by a powerful force.
When he wanted to try again, the white light disappeared.
As the boat sank, he was slowly submerged by the sea water.
He was stunned for a moment. When breathing became difficult and his lungs were about to explode, he suddenly swam away from the sinking boat. When he surfaced, he saw only darkness and raindrops as big as beans hitting his body.
He also heard the sound of fighting nearby, but at the moment he just wanted to find Xie Yunjiao and didn't want to pay any attention to it.
But he searched the area, dipping his head into the water again and again, but found nothing.
From dusk until dawn, he was pulled to the shore by Bei Ming and his men, exhausted.
"Let me go, I want to continue looking for Yun Jiao!" Gu Huai struggled to get up, but he had no strength left, and fell heavily to the ground as soon as he stood up.
Suddenly, his vision darkened and someone walked in front of him.
He thought it was Xie Yunjiao, but when he saw the big feet wearing men's boots, his eyes darkened and he didn't even want to look up.
"You bastard," Jing Kai angrily grabbed Gu Huai by the collar and lifted him up easily. Before anyone could stop him, Gu Huai was hit hard by Jing Kai. "You said you would protect her well. Where is she now?"
Jing Kai almost roared, his eyes were bloodshot, as if blood could drip out.
Gu Huai was punched, but did not fight back. Instead, he lay on the ground motionless like a dead man.
He muttered, "Sorry, I'm useless."
It seemed as if he was talking to Jing Kai, but also as if he was apologizing to Xie Yunjiao.
"Your ship was attacked, and Zhou Ming's men boarded it. You and Yun Jiao were inside the cabin. What happened?"
Jing Kai calmed down. He looked at Gu Huai, whose face was full of fatigue, and he was still angry, but not as angry as before.
Gu Huai told Jing Kai what happened yesterday.
“Unlike before, the white light seemed to have a force that sucked Yun Jiao and Zhou Ming in.
When I tried to rush over, I was bounced back by the white light." Gu Huai said weakly.
He thought of something and said, "Yun Jiao said that the treasure can only move a limited distance instantly. They won't be too far away. As long as we look around nearby, we might be able to find it."
Jing Kai's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Huai thought he didn't hear it, so he asked him anxiously, "Did you hear what I said?"
Gu Huai struggled to his feet, grabbed Jing Kai by the collar, and shouted, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and take people to look for him."
Jing Kai shook off Gu Huai's hand and said, "Do you think it's so easy to find? This river flows south from Jiuzhou.
To the south of the river is the Baiyue people, but to the north is the Miao region."
Miaojiang? Gu Huai's expression changed.
Miaojiang is a mysterious and terrifying country. I heard that almost everyone there knows how to use poison and witchcraft. If you offend the Miao people, you will end up in a miserable situation.
It would be easy to die directly. The most frightening thing is to be tortured by those people with all kinds of terrible poisons. You want to die but cannot die, and you want to live but cannot live well.
It would be easy if Xie Yunjiao and the others returned to Baiyue, but the most worrying thing is that they were sucked into Miaojiang.
"Go back first. I will order people to look for it in Baiyue first, and I will also send people to look for it in Miaojiang." Jing Kai said.
Gu Huai said, "I'll go look for it too."
As soon as he finished speaking, he staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Nanfeng was quick enough to support him from behind.
"Go back and rest for a while. You've been looking for the whole night." Nanfeng said.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for Gu Huai, he just didn't want them to have to distract themselves and take care of another person while Xie Yunjiao was still not found.
What's more, Xie Yunjiao is the most protective person. If she comes back and sees Gu Huai collapsed, she will definitely be angry with them.
"I'm not tired."
Although Gu Huai said so, Bei Ming and Nan Feng still carried him back by holding one arm each without giving him any explanation.
***
When Xie Yunjiao woke up, she was on the river bank. The river water washed over her hands, making her feel wet. She suddenly woke up and realized that she had come to the river bank.
When she tried to get up, she found that her leg seemed to be injured and it hurt a lot whenever she moved.
She sat up with difficulty, and then she found that her right thigh was broken by the broken wood, with a large area of skin and flesh exposed, which looked very shocking.
She wanted to treat the wound, but when she silently said to activate the space in her mind, there was no response from her hand.
Weird? What the hell is going on?!
She silently recited the mantra to open the space door again, but this time it was the same, there was no response at all.
Could it be that it was damaged by soaking in water?
But she has had that bracelet for two or three years. It never needs charging or maintenance. She never takes it off when she takes a shower, and it has never broken.
Why did it break down here?
Just as Xie Yunjiao was feeling frustrated, she suddenly heard a scream of pain nearby.
She looked in the direction of the sound and almost scared herself to death.
Zhou Ming was actually lying near her, and seemed to be about to wake up.
Xie Yunjiao searched around and found that the whip on her body was missing.
But she didn't have any handy tools.
She looked around and finally found a large, sharp rock nearby.
She crawled over without hesitation, picked it up, and held it tightly in her hand.
She endured the pain and crawled back little by little. She wanted to get rid of Zhou Ming before he woke up.
Otherwise, if he wakes up, she really won't be able to escape!
Although she was a fierce fighter, this was her first time killing someone.
Neither the original owner nor herself had ever actually killed anyone.
But Xie Yunjiao did not hesitate. She raised the stone high and smashed it hard on Zhou Ming's chest.
Just as the stone was about to hit Zhou Ming, he suddenly opened his eyes.
