Despite such humiliation, the man did not impulsively retaliate. He clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly with anger, but he remained silent. He simply stood there silently, his eyes fixed on the other people's every move.

With the addition of Yang Fan and the others, the attacks on the raft Gu Yunzhou and the other two were on became increasingly fierce and intense. Suddenly, various weapons and spells intertwined, forming a dazzling yet dangerous web of light that enveloped the raft.

Finally, under this violent onslaught, the raft that Gu Yunzhou and the other two were on could no longer withstand. With a loud bang, the raft was instantly blown apart, with wood chips flying everywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Yunzhou had taken the trouble to carefully reinforce the raft with several layers of tough vines. So even though the raft had been severely damaged, it was still possible for people to stand on it and not fall into the lake immediately.

"Liunian, be careful!" A cry of alarm rang out, but Jiang Liunian was so careless that he didn't notice the approaching danger. In an instant, he was blown away by a powerful force and fell straight down. Fortunately, Zhu Chenxu, who was beside him, was quick-witted and reached out to grab Jiang Liunian's arm. Even so, one of Jiang Liunian's legs inevitably fell into the water.

In a flash, just as Jiang Liunian's calf dipped into the water, several ferocious red-bellied fish swam over with lightning speed, opening their bloody mouths and biting down fiercely on his leg. The excruciating pain was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and Jiang Liunian couldn't help but let out a shrill cry. Although he reacted quickly and immediately pulled his calf out of the water, the red-bellied fish refused to let go, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the surrounding water red.

"Don't use your spiritual energy, quickly use the wooden board in your hand to get the red-bellied fish off your leg!" Gu Yunzhou on the side shouted anxiously, while his hands kept controlling the raft that had become fragmented, trying to maintain balance and prevent it from completely falling apart.

Hearing Gu Yunzhou's cry, Zhu Chenxu unhesitatingly grabbed the wooden plank and smacked the red-bellied fish still madly biting at Jiang Liunian's calf. With each crisp thump, the red-bellied fish were slammed back into the water, but they refused to give up, tumbling and leaping in the water, attempting to attack again.

"Hiss...it hurts so much! These damn guys actually dared to launch a sneak attack! The Yang family, right? Just wait for me. I'll slowly settle the score with you after I get out!" Jiang Liunian's face turned pale with pain, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, enduring the excruciating pain and not daring to use his inner spirit. He knew that if he used his spirit at this moment, it would inevitably cause even greater trouble.

"Hold on, I'll pull you over!" A clear, urgent cry suddenly echoed from a distant place, seemingly piercing the air. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a slender vine shooting towards them like an arrow, its speed astonishing.

Gu Yunzhou instinctively reached out and grabbed the vine that flew towards him. After he regained his balance and looked closely, he realized that a rather disheveled girl was standing on the opposite side of the lake. She was smiling at them, a smile that revealed a friendly and kind heart.

However, the situation was so critical that Gu Yunzhou had no time for careful reflection. He deftly and quickly wrapped the vines around the already splintering, precarious raft. At that moment, the girl across from him took a deep breath and pulled back with all her might. In an instant, the shaky raft, as if rekindled with new momentum, sped towards the lakeshore at lightning speed.

At the same time, the various attacks from behind failed due to this sudden change. They were like arrows that had lost their target, and could only fall helplessly on the empty water surface, stirring up splashes and ripples.

In the blink of an eye, the raft had reached the lakeshore like lightning. Gu Yunzhou and the other three didn't hesitate, and quickly jumped off the raft. Only when their feet touched solid ground did their hearts finally settle down, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much for your help, young lady. May I know your name?" After recovering from their shock, the three hurriedly bowed to the girl in thanks. After all, this stranger had just saved their lives, making her a truly worthy savior. Without her timely assistance, given the perilous situation just now, they would have either fallen into the water and been left with regret, or been forced to succumb to the threats posed by those treacherous and cunning villains.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to be so polite. My name is Wu Ke. The most urgent thing right now is for you to help your companions treat their injuries. Oh, by the way, you can use your spiritual energy after you get ashore, and these red-bellied fish will not gather around you easily!" Wu Ke smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle tone, raising her finger to point at Jiang Liunian's calf which was still bleeding.

After Gu Yunzhou and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude, they abandoned formalities and quickly set to work helping Jiang Liunian heal his injuries. They skillfully channeled their spiritual energy, sending a surge of energy flowing through the wound like a spring, quickly easing the bleeding and eventually stopping it completely. They then administered the healing elixir they had brought with them. After a busy period, once they were certain Jiang Liunian was alright, they finally had time to chat.

"Miss Wu is really amazing. She was able to overcome this difficulty on her own. On the other hand, the three of us almost capsized in this small ditch!" Seeing that Jiang Liunian was in stable condition, Zhu Chenxu shifted his attention to the seemingly embarrassed savior in front of him, his face full of curiosity and admiration.

"Yes, if the young lady hadn't come to our rescue in time, we would have been swindled by those despicable villains!" Jiang Liunian couldn't help but gnashing with hatred at the mention of this incident. He glared at the lake still dotted with red-bellied fish, his body trembling uncontrollably as he recalled the thrilling scene just now. His legs were so weak that he could barely stand. Clearly, that experience had left a deep psychological scar on him. Just a little more and he would have failed miserably and returned home empty-handed.
