"Beginner!" she shouted and ran into the blacksmith shop.

The inside was in an absolute mess, with everything scattered on the ground. Even the charcoal in the craftsman's stove had spilled out, emitting sparks.

There was a large pool of red liquid in the corner. Bai Jiyue squatted down and rubbed it with his hand, his face suddenly darkened.

That's blood!

Could it be that Chu Jiang was in danger?

What about the others? Were they caught or did they escape?

She turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop, shouting into the endless darkness: "First smith!"

The sound drifted far away and dissipated in the wind, with no response.

She calmed herself down, walked back into the blacksmith shop, and looked at the ground carefully.

Because it is hot in the blacksmith shop, the novice craftsman likes to sprinkle water on the ground to cool it down, so the soil on the ground is relatively soft and may leave footprints.

She lit a torch and shone it on the ground, and sure enough, she found some shallow footprints.

The footprints are not big, which shows that these people are not tall.

She walked out along the trail of footprints, slowly following the traces forward.

After walking about a thousand meters, the land turned into a rocky beach and the footprints disappeared.

She looked carefully at the stone beach and suddenly found a few drops of blood in a very inconspicuous crack in the stone!

She immediately walked in that direction and not far away she entered a forest.

The wind direction changed unconsciously. As soon as she entered the woods, she smelled a strong smell of blood. She immediately pulled out the dagger from her waist and held it in her hand.

She extinguished the torch and slowed down her pace as she walked deeper into the woods.

Gradually, she heard voices and immediately stopped and looked into the woods.

Ordinary people cannot see things that far away when the branches block the moonlight, but Bai Jiyue has extraordinary eyesight and can see what is happening deep in the forest.

I saw a man tied with ropes and hanging between two big trees. Three short men stood opposite him and looked up at him. A man was whipping the man hanging in the air with a whip.

The man cried out in pain from being beaten, and Bai Jiyue recognized it as Chu Jiang's voice.

The leading man looked up at Chu Jiang and said, "If I hit you again, you'll be crippled. Why don't you tell me? Where is that thing?"

"I... don't know... I just don't know. It's useless even if you kill me." Chu Jiang said intermittently.

"Huh! You were the last person he came into contact with, how could you not know where that thing is?"

"I... really don't know... You searched my blacksmith shop and my body... If I really took that thing, you would have found it long ago..."

"You are so stubborn! Beat him up and take him back to torture him. I don't believe he won't tell the truth!" The leading man snorted coldly.

The man with the whip whipped the first craftsman even harder.

Bai Jiyue felt a terrible pain in her heart when she heard his wailing.

After all, after spending some time together, I realized that although he concealed his identity, he was not a bad person, and I couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

She tore a strip of cloth from her skirt to cover her face, then picked up a handful of stones from the ground and threw them hard at the man who was whipping her.

The man was hit unexpectedly, touched his head and asked, "Who?"

Bai Jiyue threw all the stones in his hand out one after another, and then quickly moved to another position under the cover of the forest.

Two of the men split up and searched in the direction where she had just stood.

At this time she had already gone to another place, controlled the dagger in her hand to fly out, and cut the rope that tied up Chu Jiang.

The moment Chu Jiang fell, he saw a flash of silver light in the air, and a silver dart shot towards where Bai Jiyue was.

Bai Jiyue hurriedly dodged, and heard the branch next to him break with a "crack"!

Bai Jiyue was secretly surprised to see that the branch as thick as an adult's arm was cut off as easily as tofu. The power of this silver dart was much greater than his own.

The silver dart didn't hit Bai Jiyue, but turned around and stabbed towards Bai Jiyue again.

Bai Jiyue quickly rolled over to avoid it, but the silver dart penetrated several inches into the tree trunk and could not be pulled out.

Bai Jiyue immediately moved.

Now she is in the dark and those people are in the light. As long as she doesn't reveal her whereabouts, they won't be able to hurt her for a while!

Sure enough, there was a brief silence in the darkness, and even the two men who had just searched her stopped talking.

A man took two quick steps, picked up Chu Jiang, put a knife to his neck, and shouted into the darkness: "Come out! Or I will kill him!"

Bai Jiyue didn't move. It was obvious that they were asking Chu Jiang for something just now. How could he kill Chu Jiang without getting what he wanted?

It was quiet all around, and she waited with bated breath.

Just then, a bird suddenly flew up from the woods.

In an instant, several silver darts flew towards the bird, and the bird was turned into a hedgehog in an instant!

While the bird was making a noise, Bai Jiyue quietly approached Chu Jiang.

The best strategy is to save him. We don’t know the strength of these people and it’s not easy to confront them head-on.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly felt a flash of silver light above his head.

She looked up and saw a dozen silver swords forming a circle, with the blades facing inward, pressing down on her head from top to bottom.

She ran quickly to avoid them, but the swords seemed to have eyes. Wherever she ran, the sword circle followed her!

At the critical moment, I heard the first craftsman shout: "The sword can sense your breath, hold your breath!"

Bai Jiyue hurriedly held his breath and ran again, but the sword circles stopped moving and hung in the air.

The man standing next to Chu Jiang punched him hard and cursed, "I told you not to talk too much!"

Bai Jiyue ran towards Chu Jiang in the forest, following the cover of the trees. When she was less than fifty meters away from him, she suddenly increased her speed with the dagger in her hand, and stabbed towards the people around Chu Jiang like an arrow.

The man seemed to be not very agile, and Bai Jiyue was very fast. Before he could react, the tip of Bai Jiyue's dagger had already pierced into the man's chest.

The man wailed and lay on the ground, but at the same time, countless silver darts flew towards Bai Jiyue.

Bai Jiyue could only run back to the woods, using his agility to dodge left and right under the cover of the trees. After running around, most of the silver darts had pierced into the tree trunks.

Bai Jiyue ran back and attacked the other person beside Chu Jiang.

Just when the attack was about to succeed, there was a sudden "pop" sound in the air.

Then Bai Jiyue felt a pain in her arm. She turned around and saw a whip hanging in the air. It was the whip that had whipped her just now!

The arms that were whipped not only felt burning pain, but also an intense burning sensation.

She lowered her head to look at the wound on her arm and found that it was red and had blisters, as if it had been burned by fire!

The whip came towards her again. Bai Jiyue gritted her teeth and took it, then grabbed the whip. The moment her palm grabbed the whip, she felt a burning pain in her palm, as if she had been burned!
