"Um."

…

The road in the mountains is getting more and more difficult.

There used to be land in the deep mountains, but now it is abandoned, the fields are overgrown with weeds, and the paths are covered with weeds.

In the mountains in late autumn, in addition to clouds and mist, there are also withered and yellow grass leaves.

In this way, Mo Qing and Jiang Ke followed until the thick fog completely dissipated and the weak sunlight fell into the mountain forest.

Can--

This road seems to have no end.

"Let's make do with it." Mo Qing stuffed two packs of biscuits into Jiang Ke's hand, "Wen Yingxue doesn't know what she's doing. She keeps taking them on a detour... There's no way they can be rescued."

"It will also anger them." Jiang Ke pondered for a moment, "They are not fools either."

Not long after the two finished talking, Brother Ying realized that Wen Yingxue was leading them in a circle.

Brother Ying directly lifted one of Wen Yingxue's arms——

Click.

He removed his arm simply and neatly.

Brother Ying's tone was emotionless: "Don't let me catch you playing tricks again!"

Wen Yingxue frowned, but she didn't say a word and endured the pain.

She raised her head and met Brother Ying's sharp gaze openly and fearlessly: "If you want to take a shortcut, I can draw it for you now. But if you want to find the fragment of Nine Clouds, you must listen to me."

Someone said from the side:

"Don't listen to her, this woman's palace is very deep."

"Brother Ying, Wen Nanqiu asked us to guard against her."

"Listen to you, listen to you! You can give me a reason! Why do you have to take a long way around to play with us?"

Brother Ying raised his hand.

The sound stopped immediately.

Then, Brother Ying stared at Wen Yingxue with fierce eyes and raised his hand to put on Wen Yingxue's other arm.

The light in Wen Yingxue's eyes flashed.

"Tell me, what's the reason?" Brother Ying said every word, his tone full of threats.

"This is the route that my second uncle researched," Wen Yingxue said. "He stayed in Liangxun Mountain for three months but did not get the Jiuyun Fragment. It was because he wanted to find it and needed the best route."

Brother Ying asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure this route you know is okay?"

"He thinks it's okay." Wen Yingxue paused, "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't come at all."

"..."

Brother Ying looked at her and said nothing.

The air fell into silence and became inexplicably tense.

Finally, Brother Ying's hand slowly moved to Wen Yingxue's removed arm, and with a sudden push, he reattached the dislocated arm to her.

Wen Yingxue was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat.

However, he managed not to make any painful sound.

"You'd better tell the truth." Brother Ying's words were as cold as ice. "We are not Wen Nanqiu's subordinates. She didn't let us kill you, but if we can't find it, neither of you can even think about going down the mountain."

Wen Yingxue took a slow breath: "So, you are the pioneers?"

Hearing the words "Forerunner", the atmosphere of the people around me changed subtly.

The gaze that fell on Wen Yingxue was full of murderous intent.

Brother Ying said: "I know quite a lot."

Wen Yingxue fell silent.

"lead the way."

Brother Ying pushed Wen Yingxue directly.

Wen Yingxue's hands were still tied, and her center of gravity was almost unstable, but she stabilized after two staggering steps.

She turned back, glanced at the team, and then continued forward.

…

behind them.

Mo Qing and Jiang Ke, who were hiding in the woods, looked at each other.

Forerunner.
