Hearing this, the group looked at each other, speechless. They really hadn't expected this situation!
"Do you have any clues about the defense deployment map?"
The other person shook their head: "It's hard enough to just survive, who has the ability to investigate?"
Another person chimed in, "Yes, there's a trap set up in these mountains. We can't get out no matter what we do. For the first three days, we've been going around in circles in the same place!"
"What do we do now? It's over tomorrow, and they might have already found us. If we don't get out of here soon, we won't even make it into the top 200!"
Some people started to panic. They originally thought that things would be much easier once they found the organization, and some even fantasized that the organization might have already obtained the deployment map for them. But the result was that the organization lost so many people and ended up in a worse situation than them.
What kind of mess is this?!
We don't even know which direction the defense map is in. Where are we supposed to find such a large mountain range?
What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?
"Let's figure out how to get out first and try to get into the top 200. As for the others, let's ask them what's going on, or you can help us find the defense map. We need to figure out how to get out first. It's over tomorrow, and we can't all be left behind!"
People are selfish, so naturally they want both. Now that they've found the organization, it's better for the deployment map to be in their own hands than for it to be taken by someone else. As for them, as long as they make it into the top 200, they'll become Lu Baichuan's trusted confidants, making it much easier to inquire about things and giving them more opportunities to make contributions.
As for the loss of the defense map, that has nothing to do with them. Anyway, it was just a woman named He Jiuniang who didn't know anything and took it out to use. She deserved to lose it.
The spies all nodded in agreement, thinking it was a good idea. However, the reinforcements were not happy, saying, "We're already in such a state, it's hard to even get out alive, how are we going to find the defense map? This place is too eerie. Once we get out, whoever wants that thing can have it!"
They are different from those who are soldiers. If these soldiers get into trouble, they can send out a distress signal, and the people patrolling the forest will find them immediately and rescue them.
But they were different. They not only had to outwit and outmaneuver those traps, but also had to evade patrols and ferocious beasts that suddenly attacked humans. They were besieged on all sides, and their situation was much more difficult than that of the soldiers.
I don't even have the strength to speak now, so how could I dare to go deeper and look for some damn defense map?
The two sides disagreed and were about to start arguing when suddenly a soft laugh came from the woods not far away.
"Oh dear, I see you guys are really having a tough time. It must have been tough for you to go through all that trouble."
He Jiuniang slowly walked out and successfully saw surprise and shock on their faces.
Everyone here practices martial arts, so even if they're tired, they should be able to spot someone nearby. Yet He Jiuniang just happened to come out of the woods not far away, which means she'd been hiding there from the beginning, but they just hadn't noticed.
What's even more infuriating is that it wasn't just He Jiuniang who came out, but also a string of elite soldiers.
So many people, yet they knew absolutely nothing about it!
This isn't their true level, or perhaps these people are all incredibly skilled and have completely concealed their presence, leading others to genuinely believe there's no one nearby?
But none of that matters now. What matters is that they were caught talking to people from the organization by He Jiuniang, which means they've been exposed!
The person standing at the front was the first to react. Without saying a word, he was about to attack the people in the organization. The only way to prove their innocence was to capture these people and hand them over to He Jiuniang, otherwise they would all be doomed!
Just as he was about to make that move, a small leaf that He Jiuniang was playing with in her hand flew over. The soft leaf was exceptionally sharp and cut his hand, drawing blood instantly.
He Jiuniang said impatiently, "Alright, it's come to an end. Stop putting on an act in front of me. I've spent a lot of effort to find you. Take me away."
As she spoke, she waved her hand behind her, signaling the elite soldiers behind her to take action.
After wandering through the forest for so many days, they were all exhausted and had no chance to resist so many elite soldiers. They were easily captured.
The spy named Zhang Kui finally realized what was happening and looked at He Jiuniang, saying, "You've been suspicious of us for a while now?"
"It's not that I suspect you, it's that I already knew about you. I couldn't help it, your acting skills were too superb, you successfully caught my attention."
Feeling pleased that they had captured everyone so easily, He Jiuniang explained the situation to them.
However, he didn't say much and quickly had them all taken back.
As for the other soldiers, they had no idea about this incident and continued to march towards the finish line with their last breath.
Of course, some outstanding people have already arrived and are now eating meat and drinking wine heartily, looking forward to their glorious future.
After these people were caught, He Jiuniang could finally go back with peace of mind. She also managed to break up the other small teams during her days of tracking them. Some of them had internal conflicts, while others were forced to withdraw due to external factors. In any case, none of them made it into the top 200.
Although He Jiuniang would occasionally go out to see her son, it was mostly at night, and she could only catch a glimpse of him briefly without being able to speak to him.
Well, she came back in the middle of the day, rushed over and hugged her son and kissed him. Her son's chubby little face was so cute to kiss!
The young prince standing nearby looked on with great envy; the way Gou'er and Aunt Jiu got along was truly enviable!
However, just as he was filled with envy, He Jiuniang rushed over and kissed him on the cheek. It wasn't that she was being inappropriate; she just wanted to satisfy her little desire after seeing the intense expectation and envy in the young prince's eyes.
Besides, the young prince is only seven or eight years old, not yet at the age where he needs to avoid suspicion. There's nothing wrong with a kiss.
The young prince never expected He Jiu Niang to give him a kiss. His face turned red instantly, but he couldn't control the smile on his face. He was also kissed by Aunt Jiu, which means that Aunt Jiu approves of his performance during this period, right?
Putting everything else aside, he's gotten quite tanned lately, but he's also become much stronger than before. He used to get sick every now and then, but now he eats everything with gusto and doesn't even know what illness is.
Although he doesn't have a teacher, he has no trouble learning on his own thanks to the self-understanding methods taught by Gou'er and He Jiu Niang's concise guidance. He hasn't fallen behind in his studies at all.
He was much more agile than before, and could even fight the dog for a few rounds. He thought that when he returned to the academy next time, he would punch those gossipy people back!
"Mother, are these the big bad guys?"
The dog chuckled for a while, then saw a group of people tied up and thrown on the field, and instantly became eager to fight.
No one knows a son better than his mother. He Jiu Niang instantly understood his meaning and asked, "Want to have a competition?"
The dog nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
"Then you'd better think it through. They're bad people, and they won't show you any mercy."
Li Dazhuang, who was standing next to him, was stunned. Faced with such an unreasonable request, his sister-in-law did not stop him!
