Chapter 360 A Top-Tier Handsome Man

A slightly older man rubbed his wrists, which were bruised and purple from being bound by iron chains, and said in a trembling voice, "Young lady, these Japanese are too cruel! They say they want to breed offspring who can adapt to their environment and are strong and healthy, so they specifically capture young men like us."

They injected us with strange drugs, saying they could change our bloodline so we could be with the women on their island…

At this point, his face was filled with shame and indignation, and he could no longer continue.

Shen Man's eyes widened in anger. These Japanese people's actions were simply outrageous and heinous. They actually wanted to use the Crimson Flame people, who had superior bloodlines, to change their short, ugly genes. What a dream!

"Do you know where they've locked up the other people they've captured? I'm looking for someone named Chu Zhiyi. Have you seen him?"

Everyone shook their heads, and another man spoke up: "We've been locked up here and know nothing about the outside world. However, a few days ago we overheard those Japanese chatting, saying they were tracking an extremely handsome man who was also a general of the Crimson Flame Army."

"If we can capture him and bring him back to Ohon Province, they will receive a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. I don't know if he is the person you are looking for."

Shen Man's heart tightened suddenly, and the words "extremely handsome man" and "Crimson Flame General" kept echoing in her mind.

Who else but Chu Zhiyi could perfectly combine these two identities?

She pressed on urgently, "Do you remember where those Japanese found this man? He is extremely important to me; we must find him!"

The group looked at each other, all showing expressions of helplessness.

At this moment, a slightly immature young man hesitated before speaking: "Miss, we really don't know the exact location. But judging from the tone of those Japanese people's conversation, it seems that it's not too far from here. They also mentioned a landmark, which seems to be a forest with red leaves. The general was seen in that area."

Shen Man took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and her mind raced as she thought of a solution.

She knew that time was of the essence, and every moment wasted increased the danger to Chu Zhiyi.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely find a way to get you out. But right now, I need to find the Red Flame General who was mentioned. In the meantime, try to conserve your energy and don't make any noise, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese again."

Shen Man comforted everyone and then turned to walk outside.

As she reached the door, the older man with the crimson flames couldn't help but say, "Young lady, you're all alone, so please be careful. Those Japanese are ruthless and vicious. If you get caught by them, you might suffer even worse than we have!"

Shen Man turned around and nodded firmly, "I will be careful. I will come back to save you as soon as I find help."

Stepping out of the stone house, Shen Man planned to first find the horned eagle, and then have it lead her to the mangrove forest.

Along the way, she cautiously observed her surroundings; the eerie atmosphere of Mosa Island kept her from relaxing for a moment.

Occasionally, the low growls of unknown wild beasts echoed from the dense forest, sending chills down her spine.

Finally, she found the harpy eagle.

When the harpy eagle saw her, it chirped happily and nuzzled her shoulder affectionately.

Shen Man gently stroked the harpy eagle's feathers and comforted it, "Harpy eagle, someone said they saw His Highness the First Prince in a mangrove forest. Please take me to find it quickly. Where is the mangrove forest?"

"Coo coo~ Master, come up quickly!"

Shen Man flipped herself onto the horned eagle, which flapped its wings and left the ground.

Shen Man hugged the eagle tightly, her gaze searching for the unique mangrove forest on the island below.

During the flight, Shen Man suddenly noticed a group of Japanese people heading towards the stone house below.

Her heart tightened, and she silently prayed that the Crimson Flame People would not be injected with the drug again.

She knew she had to find Chu Zhiyi as soon as possible and then come back to rescue them.

Before long, Shen Man saw a grove of trees ahead, the leaves of which were a pale red. She was overjoyed; could this be the mangrove forest?

Under her command, the harpy eagle slowly descended. As they approached the forest, Shen Man realized that it was far more eerie than she had imagined.

The trees were tall and twisted, their red leaves rustling in the wind as if whispering something.

Shen Man cautiously rode the horned eagle, circling above the forest and carefully observing the situation below.

Suddenly, she saw a figure flash by in the woods.

Although it was only for a brief moment, she sensed with her keen intuition that it was very likely Chu Zhiyi.

She urged the harpy eagle to fly swiftly in that direction and land in a relatively open area.

Holding a soft sword, Shen Man cautiously walked towards the spot where she had just seen the figure.

As she walked, Shen Man heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from ahead.

She quickened her pace, skirting a huge tree, the sight before her igniting her fury. A group of Japanese soldiers were attacking a man—none other than Chu Zhiyi!

Although he already had several wounds on his body, he still fought back fiercely, wielding his long sword with great skill.

Without hesitation, Shen Man rushed forward, shouting, "Your Highness, I'm here to save you!"

She brandished her soft sword and instantly joined the battle.

The Japanese were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of someone and were momentarily flustered.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Man launched a fierce attack. The soft sword in her hand was like a swift dragon, and each strike forced the Japanese to retreat.

Upon hearing Shen Man's voice, Chu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with surprise: "Man'er, what brings you here? Am I dreaming?"

Upon seeing Shen Man, Chu Zhiyi's spirits immediately lifted, and his longsword attacks became even more ferocious.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are Zhimo and Xunyan?" Shen Man asked while helping him deal with the Japanese.

"Xunyan went back to report the news, and Zhimo went to find food."

The two worked together seamlessly, gradually cornering the Japanese.

Just then, the leader of the Japanese suddenly blew a whistle.

Shen Man felt a sense of foreboding; she knew this might be a signal for them to call for reinforcements.

She must resolve the current crisis as soon as possible and leave this place with Chu Zhiyi.

Shen Man and Chu Zhiyi exchanged a glance, understood each other perfectly, and launched their strongest attacks simultaneously.

With their combined efforts, the Japanese fell one after another.

However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a series of noisy footsteps came from afar.

"Oh no, their reinforcements are here! We have to hurry, the harpy eagle is waiting for me up ahead!" Shen Man said.

Chu Zhiyi nodded, and the two ran towards the direction where the horned eagle had stopped.

However, just as they were about to reach the eagle, a group of Japanese rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.

The leader of the Japanese sneered, "This island is full of our people. Do you think you can escape?"
