It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

When they reached a pine forest not far away, Huo and Ye Buli saw a group of people. It was the brightly dressed woman from before, who was now standing on a rock playing the piano, while the others were nowhere to be seen.

Huo took out his bow and arrow and shot at her before she could react.

The music of the piano stopped abruptly and the man fell to the ground.

Shang Chenyi sensed the signal that the piano music had stopped, so he controlled the snake group to go in another direction. Ning Yan brought his two sons and followed behind him to protect his safety. They did not return until they led the snake group away from the area, and then they returned to meet up with Huo? and the others.

Not long after arriving at the place, Ning Jian checked the map and found that all the yellow dots had disappeared, leaving only four. He thought that his brother and the others must have already dealt with the people and should be back soon.

Sure enough, they returned not long after. When they arrived, Huo Yu said, "Wife, everything is settled. Let's go find Xiaobai first."

Ning Yan had no objection to this. They jumped into the river yesterday and missed the time to meet up with Xiaobai. They didn't know where it was now.

But they didn't have to search for long before they saw Xiaobai coming towards them following the scent.

At this moment, Xiaobai was all dirty, with a lot of dust on his white fur, and his clothes looked pitiful.

Ning Jing saw Xiaobai and shouted, "Xiaobai."

When Xiaobai heard the shout, he raised his cat head to take a look, then with a "meow", he jumped into Ning Jing's arms, looking at Ning Jing pitifully with his cat eyes.

It thought something had happened to its little master, and searched for him in the collapsed cave for a long time last night.

There was too much dust from the cave collapse, which affected its sense of smell, so it couldn't find Ning Jing and the others.

It was not until it could no longer bear its thirst and went to the river to drink water that it smelled the familiar scent again and followed it all the way.

Ning Jing sensed its sadness and patted its head, comforting it: "It's okay, Xiaobai, we are all fine."

Then he asked, "Are you hurt?"

Xiaobai rubbed Ning Jing's hand obediently to show that he was fine.

Ning Yan walked forward, took out a small dried fish from the space, fed it to Xiaobai, then touched its head and said, "Xiaobai, you have worked hard."

Xiaobai ate up the dried fish in no time, then jumped out of Ning Jing's arms and ran forward, seemingly in the direction they came from last night.

Seeing this, Ning Gang and the others also ran forward.

When I walked to the cave where I was last night, I found that it had become a ruin, and there were some men in black scattered around, but these men in black looked a little abnormal.

His eyes were empty, his expression was dull, and he was wandering around like a puppet.

Ning Yan was surprised to see this and asked, "What's wrong with them? Why do they look abnormal?"

Huo? waved his hand, signaling the guards to come forward and check.

The guard walked forward to check. As he approached the man in black, he saw that his eyes turned red and he suddenly became furious and hit the guard.

Seeing this, the guards quickly dodged. This man was very strong and not easy to deal with.

Shang Chenyi said: "Looking at the situation, it seems like his mind is being controlled. I'm afraid it's not because of those black butterflies yesterday."

Ning Yan nodded in agreement, and when he caught sight of the object on the black-clothed man's waist, he said to the guard, "Grab the hollow bell from his waist and try shaking it."

Upon hearing this, the guard seized the opportunity to snatch the bell from the man in black and shook it.

When these people heard the bell, they gathered around the guard. The guard tried to give an order, and then these people followed the instructions woodenly.

As someone who had been poisoned by the Gu worm, Shang Chenyi said coldly, "These two really did a lot of harm to others. Even after they died, they still plotted against the living."

These people have obviously been poisoned by something like a Gu, and can be controlled at will.

Upon hearing this, Ye Buli patted his back to comfort him.

Huo said: "No matter what their purpose is, they are dead now.

Then he turned to Ning Yan and asked, "Wife, can you cure these people?"

Ning Yan said, "I'll give it a try, but I have to tie these people up first."

Otherwise, these people are too strong and it would be really difficult to control them.

Huo said, "No problem. Let's tie these people up. After we heal them, maybe we can ask them and find a water source as soon as possible. Then we can get out of the mountain as soon as possible."

Then he and Ye Buli took two guards and tied up all these people.

Ning Yan took their pulses and checked their bodies. After seeing a small wound on the back of each person's neck, he guessed that the butterflies were probably attached to the human body like parasites.

He took out a silver needle and inserted a few needles into several acupuncture points on the black-clothed man's head. Then he saw that the man was sweating profusely, with veins bulging, and was obviously in great pain.

Ning Yan kept staring at the wound on his neck until the black butterfly slowly crawled out of the wound. He then covered it with the porcelain bottle in his hand, put the butterfly into the bottle, and threw a small matchstick into the bottle.

After a while, the butterfly burned to death and turned into ash.

Seeing that this method was effective, Ning Yan began to teach the two guards how to give acupuncture to these people.

There are only a few hundred people here, and he definitely can't do it alone. He might as well leave it to the two guards. They are not in a hurry anyway, so they can just do it slowly.

After the two guards learned it, they went to work, while they stopped for a while to rest.

Ning Jian said, "Perhaps there are also their people outside the mountain."

Otherwise, who will release the smoke?

Shang Chenyi heard this and said, "We've been here for three days, and we don't know how they are doing outside."

The danger outside seemed to be no less than theirs. There was no telling when Yin Youlin behind would catch up. There were also people from Ximao Country watching closely, and it was unknown whether those people outside the mountain had discovered the situation inside.

If discovered, they must flee.

When I think about it this way, it seems like we are being attacked from three sides?

Huo Yu said, "Why don't you go back first? My wife and I will go back after we find some water here."

Ning Yan said, "Brother?, why don't you and Brother Ye go back first? Brother Shang and I will stay here."

Huo Yu said unhappily, "Why? Wife, you don't want me anymore?"

Ning Yan said, "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Shang knows many languages, so it would be more convenient for him to stay. I'll take care of the two sons first, and you guys go back first."

Shang Chenyi said, "I agree with Brother Jian'er's suggestion. A-Li, why don't you and Brother Huo go back first? Mother and the others need you."

Although Ye Buli was reluctant to separate, he nodded for the sake of the overall situation and said, "Then please be careful."

Shang Chenyi gave him a reassuring look.

Huo Yu also compromised and said, "Wife, then you should come out earlier."

Ning Yan nodded, then took out some medicine bottles and stuffed them into Huo Yu's hands, saying, "If all else fails, we can retreat to the mountains. Once we find a water source, we'll be able to occupy a favorable position in time."

Huo nodded to show that he understood, then hugged Ning Yan and left with Ye Buli under the leadership of Xiaobai.
