The wind brought a damp chill, and the two people lying unconscious on the ground were like lambs to the slaughter.
Without the medicinal powder to repel the surrounding snakes and poisonous insects, snakes soon began to swim towards this side.
A crystal-clear, jade-like green snake.
With its tiny, beady eyes, it swam toward the fragrant, two-legged humanoid creature.
Just as its little mouth was about to bite Jiang Bai's fair wrist, its tail was suddenly grabbed and it was thrown away, making it dizzy and disoriented.
"Chief, what should we do with these two?"
The dwarf and the leader of the Black-Clad Guards reappeared here. He waved his hand, and the golden silkworm that had bitten Jiang Bai sprang up and crawled into the small bamboo tube in his sleeve.
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards looked at the two unconscious men before him and remained silent for a moment.
"It would be better to kill them! They discovered our presence; releasing them would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains."
The short man's gaze was icy, a stark contrast to his demeanor when facing Jiang Bai.
"Um."
The leader nodded, and the little dwarf picked up a whistle and blew it, attracting countless venomous snakes.
If you want to kill someone, there's no need to put yourself in danger.
They weren't fools. Even if Jiang Bai and Ming Yu appeared to have lost their ability to move, who knew if they were faking it?
It's better to let the little things take care of them.
Neither of them showed any intention of making a move, which made Jiang Bai, who was pretending to faint in order to take a gamble, sigh deeply.
As soon as the sigh was heard, the leader and the dwarf realized something was wrong. When they tried to run away, they found that Jiang Bai had broken their arms and legs.
It was a real break, not a dislocation.
"I didn't mean to treat you like this, but you're so ungrateful."
Startled by the retreating snakes, Jiang Bai coldly looked at the two of them.
"Heh? Who doesn't know what's good for them? Don't think we don't know. You two came here for the Yu family's treasure. What good stuff could you possibly be?"
The short man looked at the two of them with a mocking expression, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that the others had escaped, otherwise he would have been caught by this crazy woman again.
But having your arms and legs broken really hurts!
Just as he was sighing inwardly, his sleeve suddenly felt empty, and Jiang Bai took out the bamboo tube containing the Golden Silkworm Gu.
"What are you doing? Stop..."
Smack!
"Ah... my little Jin, you witch, how dare you kill my little Jin! I will never forgive you in this life."
The little boy's eyes were bloodshot, but with his limbs broken, he was powerless to resist.
His martial arts skills weren't bad, but compared to the leader, he was far inferior, and compared to Jiang Bai, he was far inferior. Even though he hated Jiang Bai to death, he couldn't do anything to him.
Take out a handkerchief and wipe the dirt off your hands.
Jiang Bai ignored him completely and walked towards the leader of the Black-Clad Guards.
He lowered his head, his pale hair standing out, and his exposed eyelids revealed a hint of weariness.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Bai reached out and ripped off the mask from Long Zhong's face, revealing an old and venerable face.
The short man's tirade stopped abruptly, replaced by a look of shock: "You..."
Before he could speak, Jiang Bai raised his hand, and he felt a chill on his face as his mask was ripped off. He was so frightened that he immediately lost his words.
Beneath the masks was the face of a middle-aged man in his forties. Both of them had pale skin due to being covered by masks for a long time.
Jiang Bai kindly tossed two daggers in front of the two men, raised his chin and said, "Look, although your hands and feet are broken, and it may be difficult for you to commit suicide, you can still move your mouths. I suppose you can each take a dagger and finish the other off."
The dwarf and the leader of the black-clad guards were both startled when they saw the dagger.
The two of them lay motionless on the ground, neither of them moving.
"What? Wasn't it said that the faces of the Black-Clad Guards could not be seen by anyone other than their master, or they would have to commit suicide?"
Why aren't you two moving?
Jiang Bai looked at the two of them with a mocking smile, his teeth itching with anger. They used a snake to scare her; if he didn't teach them a lesson, they wouldn't know why the flowers were so red.
"You flatter me, young master."
After a long silence, the leader of the Black-Clad Guards let out a bitter laugh.
The short man also gave an embarrassed smile and said ingratiatingly, "We were just joking with you, young master. Please don't be angry."
Jiang Bai glanced at the necklace that had somehow gotten sticking out of his skin, reached out and stuffed it back in, saying expressionlessly, "What are you two talking about? What young master? I don't understand."
"The weather is perfect tonight, and this place is high in the mountains and dense in the forest. If you two help each other, you can set off sooner."
“I have some knowledge of the Rebirth Sutra, and I can accompany you for a while after you two leave.”
The two remained silent, but neither of them actually used a dagger held in their mouths to kill the other.
Seeing that Jiang Bai was truly angry, the two exchanged a glance and blamed each other. Then they bowed in Jiang Bai's direction and said, "Your subordinate is Xuan Ye."
"Your subordinate is dressed in black."
"Greetings, young master."
The two of them used their shoulders to twist their bodies and kowtow in Jiang Bai's direction.
At the same time, a large number of people suddenly appeared in the previously empty surroundings.
These people knelt down on one knee in Jiang Bai's direction and said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master."
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and raised his hand to his forehead.
No, I'm still so angry.
The thought of that dense swarm of snakes, which almost triggered my trypophobia, made me want to beat up the group of people in front of me.
It was clear that the two culprits had already had their arms and legs broken by her, and in the end, they had no choice but to give up.
"Please explain what happened."
Jiang Bai sat down on the spot, not caring that the ground was wet.
The leader, whose hands and feet had been severed, looked up and gave a wink to one of the guards in black. The guard stepped forward and walked towards Ming Yu, who was lying on the ground. He took out a handkerchief and pressed it against Ming Yu's face. Ming Yu struggled for a moment and then quickly lost consciousness.
"Your Highness, this is a long story."
"Then let's get to the point." Jiang Bai interrupted him impatiently. The leader was taken aback and said awkwardly, "It can't be explained in just a few words."
"Then let's use five or six words."
Jiang Bai remained expressionless, feeling as if he were being made a fool of.
The leader choked again and had no choice but to confess honestly.
It turns out that they had already guessed Jiang Bai's identity when he first captured them, took out the map, and said that his mother's surname was Song.
They only suppressed their excitement when they thought of the young lady's early death without leaving any children.
But fearing that his information might be wrong and might inadvertently harm the master's descendants, he pretended to cooperate and staged this grand performance on the road.
It wasn't until the golden silkworm bit Jiang Bai's hand, confirming her bloodline, and then they happened to see the necklace around Jiang Bai's neck, that the two of them confirmed her identity.
She is a descendant of the Yu family, and is of the bloodline of the eldest princess.
As for killing the people, it was purely to scare her. Who knew that not only did it not scare her, but it also angered her, causing her to break the hands and feet of both of them.
