On the nameless island, Peng Ze had only three hundred people. He divided these three hundred people into six teams, with fifty people in each team.
The four teams guarded the four cardinal directions of the island, while the other two teams searched the island.
The old man escaped with the prince of the Southern Frontier, accompanied by dozens of people. They split into two groups: one group led the old man and the prince, while the other group followed behind.
Shuanzi was injured because of the group of people behind him.
Fortunately, he was a soldier in the naval corps and was familiar with the water. After being injured, he jumped off the boat and swam underwater for a while before daring to surface.
And then, thanks to a heavy rain, Shuanzi was lucky enough not to be discovered.
Shuanzi held his breath and swam towards the camp with all his might. He saw the Gu sisters, Gu Nian and Gu Xin, in the distance. He saw Gu Nian go into the river and Gu Xin run away. Only then did he dare to relax, faint, and was rescued by Gu Nian.
It must be said that Peng Ze's men were very well trained.
At this moment, Peng Ze was leading dozens of people to search in the forest on the island. They had been on this nameless island for several days, but they still hadn't found any trace of the other party.
They witnessed the people from southern Xinjiang landing on the island. They launched several small boats from the large ship and circled the island from several directions. They didn't see anyone leave, so the other side must be on the island.
But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find anyone.
This was the last unexplored area, filled with jagged rocks, which greatly surprised the Zhou soldiers who had never been to an island before.
In their minds, this kind of environment shouldn't exist on an island.
Honestly, they thought there were only some forests on the island, and they weren't very deep.
This nameless island truly opened their eyes.
"General, there's a cave ahead." At that moment, a soldier ran up from one direction to report.
Peng Ze instructed them not to act rashly upon seeing anyone, as they did not have many antidote pills on them, and the Southern Frontier was known for its expertise in poisons; he feared his men might sacrifice themselves in vain.
The men he brought from the water camp to the mountains were only responsible for guarding the riverbank and did not need to venture deep into the southern border, so each of them carried only one antidote pill.
Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and Peng Sanlang's soldiers not only had three antidote pills on them, but also some insect-repelling herbs.
The soldiers in the southern border region, plus those previously led by Yan Mo, number in the tens of thousands. Each soldier received a set of supplies, which can be considered the result of Grandma Xiao leading the Peng family army's medical staff for more than half a year.
Peng Ze gestured to his subordinates and then headed in that direction.
A figure flashed past the cave entrance. Peng Ze called Rang over and told him to immediately go find another small team.
Then he led a few people to the cave entrance and pressed themselves against the stone wall next to the entrance.
As soon as he regained his footing, his other henchmen, who had been hiding in the bushes, emerged and made dangerous hand gestures at him.
Peng Ze turned to the side and saw a large group of snakes suddenly swimming out of the cave. Without even looking, he knew these were not ordinary snakes, but highly venomous ones.
Peng Ze quickly ordered his men to retreat from both sides, but it was too late.
He could only draw his sword and hack at the snakes.
The remaining people who had been hiding also emerged and attacked.
Soon, the group finished their attack, and almost all of them had been bitten. Their faces were now purplish-black, and they were weak all over, clearly poisoned.
The old man led out with six masked men, sneering at Peng Ze: "This is General Ze! Knowing that I come from the Southern Frontier, you still dare to sneak over here. General Ze is indeed courageous, but not admirable!"
Peng Ze drew his sword and thrust it at the old man, but unfortunately, he was bitten by a poisonous snake and was no match for the six masked men beside the old man.
