"Who's there, stop right there!" From afar, a series of shouts could be heard. It was obvious that Xu Taiping's escape route had exposed the Chinese egret.

The Chinese egret didn't dare to stay in place for long. She immediately turned around and ran in the direction of Xu Taiping. Behind her, a group of people with dogs were chasing after her.

For those people who spent most of their time in the mountains, the mountain roads didn't have much of an impact on them. They ran very fast, almost catching up to the Chinese egrets.

However, the white heron was still a bit faster. Just as she was about to disappear in front of the crowd, a burst of gunshots rang out.

The bullet flew past the egret's body and struck the tree next to it.

"Halt, or I'll beat you to death!" Behind the Chinese egret, a berating voice could be heard once again.

The Chinese egret had no choice but to stop in its tracks. She didn't dare to gamble with her luck. If someone from the back were to shoot her in the head, she would only die. It wouldn't be worth it.

The group of people soon arrived in front of the Chinese egret. The moment they saw a young and beautiful girl, their wariness immediately lessened. They led the Chinese egret back to the man in camouflage clothes.

"I can't believe I actually met such a beautiful woman in this forest!" The man in camouflage clothes didn't dare to believe his eyes. The white egret looked pretty good, and its figure was also good. Even though it was wearing camouflage clothes, which lacked the beauty of a woman, it had a valiant look to it.

"Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, please let me go, I am only here to gather herbs!" the Chinese egret pleaded.

"Gather medicinal herbs?" The man in camouflage clothes looked at the Chinese egret from top to bottom and said, "Such a good-looking girl, aren't she being fed to the rich people in the big cities? Do you think I'm stupid? "

"I'm really here to pick herbs!" The Chinese egret looked at him pitifully and said, "My younger brother's foot is injured and needs a lot of herbs to treat it. That's why I came to the mountain to gather the herbs. Please let me go, big brother."

"Do you think we can let you go?" The man in camouflage clothes sneered and said, "Since you saw us kill those people, I can only silence you!"

"No! Big Brother, I beg you, don't kill me!" The Chinese egret said excitedly.

Just based on the fact that you dared to enter the mountain at this time of day, we can see that you have quite the courage and skill. As long as you join our organization, become one of us, and become my girlfriend, I won't kill you. The man in camouflage clothes said.

"Join you as your girlfriend?" The egret looked at him and said, "I don't know anything about you guys and I don't know your name. Talking about friends like this, aren't you being a little too hasty?"

"Haha, we can first get to know each other in depth before deciding whether or not we want to be friends. Let me introduce myself. As for us, we are poachers, so you should be able to tell. I'm called Sun Yat, and everyone calls me Brother Sun. What's your name? You said that you wanted to treat your little brother's illness, but do you still know anything about medicine? " the man in camouflage clothes asked.

"Sun Yat... "Your name is really just. Brother Sun, I know a little bit of medicine, but only a little bit." the Chinese egret said.

"That's even better. Amongst our group, the one who is lacking the most is the doctor. Tsk tsk, the god has given you to me. Come with me. We still have things to do. Follow us well. I promise I won't let you suffer a loss!" As he spoke, he took out a rope from his waist and tied the egret's hands together. Then, he placed the other end on his waist.

"Brother Sun, wouldn't it be inconvenient to bring this woman along?" A person at the side asked.

"I can bring this person myself, what's so inconvenient about it?" I'm already over 30 years old and haven't gotten married yet. Now that God finally gave me such a pretty girl, could it be that you want me to throw her away? " Sun Zhengyi said with dissatisfaction.

"It's said that there's a fox on this mountain that specializes in attracting the souls of men. This woman is so pretty, could she be a fox spirit?" Someone whispered.

"Bullshit, fox spirit, what age is this feudal superstition? I'll just leave it at that. This woman is mine, so don't say anymore, we'll go to the Broken Saber Cliff immediately. We need to gather the Golden Fried Grass before sunrise. Otherwise, it will be useless! " Sun Yat-sen said.

"Yes sir!" The group of people all agreed, and then they all followed Sun Yizhi and walked away.

The white heron looked around. In this old forest, other than the sounds of the people moving forward and the bugs calling, there was no other sound. It was unknown where Xu Taiping was hiding now.

When they were dealing with Lei Zhenhu, Xu Taiping did not give up on her, and now, it was even more impossible for him to give up on her. Hua Taiping believed that Xu Taiping definitely had his plans, but he did not mention it to him.

In the dark night, the crowd was rapidly moving forward. Beside this group was a pitch-black figure who was also moving forward with them.

This person did not use any lighting equipment. There wasn't even moonlight in the dense forest, but he could see everything clearly and was moving forward quickly.

He leaped from tree to tree, but made no sound or movement.

In the darkness of the night, this person was like a hidden wolf, staring at his prey.

This time, Xu Taiping had already learned about the herbs to be collected from the Chinese egrets in advance.

Amongst all the herbs, the most difficult to gather was a kind of herb called the Gold Mushroom Grass.

This thing grew on the cliffs, and they had to dig down the roots before sunrise in order to preserve the drug's potency.

For the Chinese egret, the other medicines were easy to deal with, except for this one, which was more difficult.

Unfortunately for them, the target of Sun Zhengyi and the others was also the money grass.

Xu Taiping instantly came up with a plan, but he didn't have enough time to explain it to the Chinese egret. He also needed to capture the Chinese egret, which was why he had run away so unscrupulously. His goal was to expose the Chinese egret and get caught by Sun Yiyi and the others.

As for whether or not the Chinese egret would be killed after being captured, Xu Taiping wasn't worried at all, because the Chinese egret was too good-looking. Even if a woman like this didn't want to bring her back home as a wife, you definitely wouldn't be willing to kill her immediately. If the Chinese egret was really going to be beaten to death, Xu Taiping could also come out and save it. If the other party had a deeper idea about the Chinese egret, then that would be even better.

The speed of the people's advance was extremely fast. At around four in the morning, they arrived at the so-called Broken Blade Cliff.

This was a 90 degree cliff, and the place where they were standing was at the top of this cliff.

Looking down from the top of the cliff, one could see a ravine that was dozens of meters away. The entire cliff looked as if it had been cut by a knife, and there were many plants growing on it.

"Get ready to go down and see if there's any money grass." Justice Sun ordered.

Everyone began to prepare. Not long after, the three of them tied three ropes to each other and descended the mountain.

The white heron curiously walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff was so steep that only a professional climber would dare to climb it.

"Boss, we found one!" Suddenly, cheers came from the people below the mountain.

"There really is one. Dig him out for laozi!" Sun Yat-sen said.

"Why do you want to dig up this Gold Coin Grass?" the Chinese egret asked curiously.

"Someone paid a huge price." Sun Yat-sen said.

"According to what I know, the main function of the money grass is to make flesh. Could that person be like my younger brother?" the Chinese egret asked.

"Don't ask too many questions you shouldn't, I'll tell you when you really become my girlfriend and enter the bridal chamber with me." Sun Zhengyi said with an ambiguous smile.

The Chinese egret gave a cowardly smile and stepped back.

The sound of someone knocking against the wall came from the top of the mountain. The roots of the grass grew in stone, so if one wanted to dig out the grass, they had to ensure that all the roots were connected and did not break.

About ten minutes later, a successful shout came from the mountain wall, and soon, the crowd began to pull the rope up.

Not long after, all three of them were pulled up.

"Boss, it's done!" One of his subordinates excitedly brought the herb to Sun Jie.

"Great!" Sun Jie quickly opened his backpack and placed the herb inside, then said, "Brothers, let's go. This trip was very fruitful, and we can rest for a long time. Hahaha!"

"Let's go!" Everyone shouted as they walked back.

At this moment.

Puff!

With a dull thud, a person fell onto the ground. Following that, there were more muffled sounds.

One by one, they fell to the ground like rice being harvested.

"There's an enemy! Everyone, hide!" Sun Zhengyi shouted loudly. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Swoosh!

With a tilt of his head, he dodged the flying knife that was shooting towards his neck. However, the others did not have the ability to do so, a total of more than a dozen people, in about ten seconds, were shot and fell to the ground.

"Who, who is it?!" Sun Jie, who was holding a shotgun, shouted in fear.

He had been a bandit for so many years, but he had never seen such a strange scene. A dozen or so people falling in just a few seconds? This was too terrifying.

Xu Taiping walked out from the woods, looked at Sun Yizhen and said with a smile, "It's been hard on you, help me pick the herb."
