"Xiaobei, look... look ahead, over there... there seem to be three people!"

In the slightly dim forest, Hu Xiaobei, who was looking around everywhere, heard Qi Lianlian speak with such tension, and at that moment, Hu Xiaobei curiously raised his head...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes slightly in surprise!

The reason for this was that Hu Xiaobei noticed there were indeed three dark figures in the distance that appeared to be human shapes...

"Huh? Are there really people ahead?"

As soon as this thought emerged, Hu Xiaobei focused his mind, ready to observe carefully...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei suddenly caught a faint, elegant fragrance...

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw Qi Lianlian, trembling all over, nervously hugging her arms!

Knowing she was truly scared, Hu Xiaobei quickly reassured her, "Lianlian, there's no need to be nervous!"

Hearing these gentle words of comfort, she whispered, "But... but I'm just scared!"

"There's really no need to be nervous! Because I'm here, I absolutely won't let you get hurt!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei focused his mind and continued to observe, and soon, he truly felt something was amiss...

Because after observing carefully, Hu Xiaobei noticed that the three blurry shadows didn't have any Life Force!

"I'm guessing someone is playing a prank here!"

With this thought appearing, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Qi Lianlian, who was still very tense, and gently spoke, "Don't be afraid. Let's go and take a look."

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's suggestion, she looked at him in a panic...

Very quietly, she said, "Xiaobei, is it really okay for us to go over just like this? What if... what if we disturb them?"

Qi Lianlian was truly very nervous...

Because Qi Lianlian was genuinely worried that those three people might react unfriendly upon their approach!

Feeling her worry, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly and calmly said, "Don't worry! With me here, absolutely nothing will happen!"

"Is... is that true? We'll be fine, won't we?"

"Of course!"

As he confidently spoke, Hu Xiaobei reached out his hand, and as she was slightly stunned, he grasped her small hand...

Her mind went blank!

Being held like this by Hu Xiaobei, Qi Lianlian's mind went blank...

At this moment, she truly didn't know what to say...

Because previously, Qi Lianlian had never experienced such a situation.

Feeling her shock, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly and calmly said, "Alright, now follow me as we walk forward!"

"Huh? Oh!"

With her mind blank, she didn't know what to say at all and could only quietly nod her head...

"Knowing grabbing her hand could make her so obedient, I should have done this earlier!"

Hu Xiaobei glanced at her blushing cheeks and muttered slightly regretfully...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei collected his emotions and continued to walk quickly forward!

Qi Lianlian didn't know Hu Xiaobei's thoughts. If she did, she might be speechless...

...

Two minutes later, Hu Xiaobei and Qi Lianlian arrived at the place of the so-called silhouettes!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei murmured to himself, "As expected!"

Previously, he suspected the so-called silhouettes were a dazzling technique, and now he found they indeed were!

There were only three black robes here!

They were hanging on the trees.

Because of this, they truly looked like three people from afar.

"Oh my, Xiaobei, what's going on here? Could it be someone hung clothes here to dry? But... but that's impossible!"

Taking a closer look, Qi Lianlian spoke with slight curiosity!

She was truly puzzled at this moment!

Because she really couldn't figure out what was going on!

In her view, you can't even see the sun here, so logically, it's impossible for someone to actually hang clothes to dry here!

Because drying here could never really dry them...

Upon such curious questioning, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "This isn't drying, but a type of dazzling technique! A technique to mislead someone!"

"Mislead?"

"Yes!"

With a gentle nod, Hu Xiaobei began thinking carefully...

He knew that no one knew about him being here, so this dazzling technique was clearly not to mislead him!

"Since it's not to mislead me, then it should be to mislead Jangonila!"

Thinking about how Jangonila previously said over the phone that three people in black robes were chasing him, it seemed these three had clearly used this method to mislead Jangonila...

"Since this dazzling technique was set before, Jangonila might have already encountered trouble. We can't wait any longer!"

As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, Hu Xiaobei calmed down and seriously began searching.

Soon, he sensed a very strong familiar aura.

At that moment, he easily locked onto Jangonila's location...

After locking on, Hu Xiaobei sensed that there were several unusual auras around Jangonila...

Hu Xiaobei knew if his senses were correct, those distinct auras should be the three people who were madly chasing Jangonila earlier!

"It seems as though he's really been caught!"

Upon confirming this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and looked at Qi Lianlian...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei spoke in a low, serious voice, "Lianlian, what's going to happen next will be very dangerous, so do your best to stay behind me, okay?"

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's seriousness, Qi Lianlian was stunned for a moment, then instinctively nodded.

She wasn't foolish, she knew that there might truly be some kind of danger ahead, otherwise, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't talk to her with such seriousness!

Seeing her serious nod, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei pointed ahead and said, "The person I need to find is right ahead. Let's hurry over now!"

...

Ahead...

The people surrounding Jangonila sneered...

"We know you've been circling around here to try to get your helper to find you quickly! But too bad, we found you faster than him, so maybe it's fate."

Upon hearing such cold sarcasm, Jangonila squinted his eyes.

Quickly, Jangonila chuckled and retorted, "Fate? I never believed in that! Now, everything is just beginning; who will triumph is still uncertain! Aren't you worried that your arrogance might lead to bitter disappointment?"

Infuriate them!

Jangonila knew that he was at a disadvantage, so he needed to anger them as much as possible, as only this could increase his chances.

"Who will triumph is uncertain? What a joke! As long as you don't run, the three of us can take you down in minutes!"

"Exactly!"

They laughed confidently!

They were absolutely confident in their strength, so they believed Jangonila had no chance at all.

"Since you're so confident, then come on! What's holding you back!"

Jangonila looked at them, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Jangonila knew they still had concerns about him...

The reason they were concerned was that they hadn't completely figured out how strong he really was before!

So now, they truly didn't dare to get too close...

Because if he exploded, he could really take one or two of them down with him.

Nobody truly wants to die, and these three were certainly no exception...

So holding their secret agendas, although eager, none dared to be the first to charge.

Noticing Jangonila's mocking tone, their faces changed slightly...

They had previously suspected Jangonila might have a hidden trick...

So under these circumstances, they sincerely hoped not to approach actively...

Because if Jangonila decided to risk everything, there could really be unexpected outcomes.

Exchanging glances with his two followers, the supposed leader unhurriedly pulled out a deep black bottle from his pocket...

After shaking it in his hand, he looked at Jangonila, speaking with a full smile, "We don't actually have much hatred between us! The reason we're confronting each other is because of those invaluable Chestnut Snakes, which you and we understand well. So honestly, we don't need to really kill you. If you take the medicine in this bottle, we'll let you go afterward. How do you feel about this offer?"

Upon hearing his seemingly kind words, Jangonila glanced deeply at him, and soon, Jangonila laughed...

The laughter grew louder...

This unconsciously made them frown...
