After being struck by this sword, Xiao Tian Yuan felt dizzy and was unable to hold on for a while. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his vision turned black. He almost couldn't hold on any longer.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiming shouted, "Quick, capture Xiao Tianyuan!"

When the soldiers heard this, they gathered up their courage and prepared to capture Xiao Tianyuan alive. However, a ribbon flew out from nowhere and wrapped itself around Xiao Tianyuan's waist. Xiao Tianyuan followed the ribbon and flew into the air.

Li Qiming was both angry and shocked. He personally raised his sword and leapt high into the air. As he cut the ribbon with his sword, he heard a clear and melodious shout, "Fight!" Suddenly, something appeared in front of his eyes. Li Qiming was shocked. Although it was a great achievement to have Xiao Tianyuan in his hands, he wasn't willing to lose his life. He immediately retreated with all his strength. The soldiers around him retreated. That thing exploded in the air, filling the air with smoke. All the soldiers were blown up to the point where their mouths were wide open and noses were sore. When the smoke dissipated, there was no sign of Xiao Tianyuan.

Li Qiming gritted his teeth in anger, "They must have fled into the forest. There is miasma in the forest, if they don't want to die, they will definitely escape. You guys better get the hell out, and if anyone comes out, we will kill them!"

"Yes." The soldiers quickly surrounded the dense forest.

Xiao Tian Yuan knew he was going to die, but he was saved by Nan Yu Lan. Although his body was so weak that he couldn't even stand, he still said hoarsely, "Thank you, Lady Nan."

"You don't need to say anything. I don't want you to die at the hands of others, and sooner or later, I will kill you." Nan Yu Lan's tone was still hard and emotionless.

Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly as he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Nan Yu Lan couldn't help but frown, his lips moved, he wanted to ask about his injuries, but only said: "I'll take you to the forest first." As he spoke, he helped Xiao Tian Yuan into the forest.

When the two of them entered the forest, they saw the soldiers that Chen Fei had led earlier surrounding the forest. When they saw Xiao Tian Yuan, they could not help but say, "General Xiao has returned."

Xiao Tianyuan weakly waved his hand. "I'm fine. How are you guys?"

"Reporting to General Xiao, there is miasma in the forest, we do not dare to go deeper, moreover …" Some of the soldiers have already died from the miasma. " Chen Fei's voice was slightly dejected. He had followed Xiao Tianyuan for many years and had never been defeated in such a manner before. This battle was truly a miserable one. Furthermore, General Xiao was also heavily injured. He did not know if he could escape now.

Xiao Tianyuan sighed and held his chest without saying a word.

Nan Yu Lan glanced at him and said coldly: "Take off your armor first, I will help you stop the bleeding."

Xiao Tianyuan did not say anything. Chen Fei took off his armor and took off his undergarment, revealing a lean yet sturdy upper body. His body was covered in scars of various sizes.

Seeing this, Nan Yu Lan's heart hurt, but he didn't say anything. He moved like the wind to tap Xiao Tian Yuan's acupoints, and then took out the Gold Healing Medicine to help him stop the bleeding. Perhaps he was already drunk, and Nan Yu Lan had personally bandaged his wounds for him. Even though he was so injured that he had lost blood, his face had already turned pale, and he didn't even have the strength to talk, but now that Nan Yu Lan had bandaged his wounds, he would rather get worse.

Nan Yu Lan bandaged the wound, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Xiao Tian Yuan's body. He looked casual, but in reality, he was actually thinking about something else. "Wear your clothes." Then, he took out a pill and passed it to Xiao Tianyuan. "Eat this, it will be beneficial to you."

Xiao Tian Yuan took it and swallowed the pill without any hesitation. Chen Fei quickly went to put on Xiao Tian Yuan's clothes.

Xiao Tianyuan rested for a while before his face recovered a little and said, "The miasma here is too heavy. I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to hold on for long. Vice President Chen, lead your men to chop down the trees beside us and start a fire."

Chen Fei looked at Xiao Tian Yuan in shock. He thought that Xiao Tian Yuan's injuries were too serious, so he asked in confusion, "General Xiao, it's still in the middle of the day, yet you're actually making everyone burn?"

"Don't ask so much, do as I say." Xiao Tian Yuan waved his hand, and Chen Fei could only accept his orders and leave.

Nan Yu Lan was standing not far from Xiao Tian Yuan. She didn't even look at Xiao Tian Yuan and just raised her head to look at the miasma in the forest. She couldn't understand Xiao Tian Yuan's intentions, but she didn't ask him anything.

"Miss Nan, thank you for saving me." Xiao Tianyuan was extremely sincere and said in an extremely moved manner. His usually cold and unmoved face also revealed an extremely emotional expression. Nan Yulan hated him for not caring about anything else and actually coming to his rescue. He truly couldn't believe it. What he was sure of now was that he wasn't as detested as he was said to be. If he was, why would he risk his life to save him?

The corner of Nan Yu Lan's mouth twitched, no one could tell what she was thinking about.

Soon, the fire started. Li Qiming and his army gathered outside the jungle to see what was going on. He was puzzled.

"General, why would there be a fire in the forest?" The soldier asked in confusion.

Li Qiming shook his head. "This general doesn't know …" Maybe they were hungry, so they built food … No matter what, we must stay outside and trap them to death. "

"General, we understand."

In the dense forest.

As Xiao Tian's vision lit up, he ordered the soldiers, "Make the fire bigger. You have to chop down more trees to make it burn."

The soldiers still didn't understand his intentions, but they obeyed his orders.

It was already past noon, and the dense forest was still filled with miasma. A large portion of the soldiers had been injured by the explosion earlier. The injured soldiers gathered together, bandaging each other's wounds as they moaned in pain.

Xiao Tian Yuan frowned, his eyes focused on the fire as he considered his next step.

Nan Yulan sat down next to him to rest. The light of the fire reflected in her eyes, and her eyes flickered as if she had something on her mind.

After a long time, no one spoke.

Seeing that it was already late, Xiao Tianyuan suddenly said, "Bring the burnt charcoal."

Chen Fei did not understand and did not ask any further. He just took it. Xiao Tian Yuan picked up the charcoal and sniffed it. He then said to the soldier, "Let's wrap the charcoal in a wet cloth and we can pass through the forest."

"You mean you can use this to get out of the forest?" Chen Fei expressed his confusion.

"That's right, using a wet cloth to cover the charcoal can absorb the stench. We'll use it to cover our mouths and noses, we'll definitely be able to get out of the forest." Xiao Tianyuan's father was the one who told him this. It was one thing if he heard it then, but he didn't expect it to be useful one day. As Xiao Tianyuan thought of this, he gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Alright, we'll listen to the general. I'll let the soldiers do this right now. Many of us have already been struck by the miasma." Chen Fei quickly gave the order.

Nan Yu Lan glanced at Xiao Tian Yuan. So it turned out that Xiao Tian Yuan was indeed outstanding. As expected of a general who had experienced a lot in the underworld.

Xiao Tianyuan slowly stood up and passed the piece of charcoal wrapped in a wet cloth to Southcloud. "Miss Nan, this is for you."

Nan Yu Lan bit his lips, wanting to reject, but for some reason he didn't refuse, silently extending his hand towards her.

Xiao Tian Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he felt guilty. If it wasn't for him, how could Nan Yu Lan be trapped here? So he had to think of a way to lead them out. He couldn't let so many soldiers die in vain.
