After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 298 Accidental Rescue
Song Yongnian immediately used two cleavers, and together with Su Sheng and the others, they chopped down a tree.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Zhu Yixuan and his group while working.

"Shen Yi? What are you doing?" Zhu Yixuan stared wide-eyed at the men who were planing wood. Were they really going into the mountains to fight the enemy?

Shen Yi smiled and explained, "The roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on. We'll get some wooden planks to reinforce the soles of our shoes. Would Young Master Zhu like some?"

Zhu Yixuan's lips twitched violently. He felt it was somewhat ridiculous to regard Shen Yi as an opponent. He slowly lowered his eyes and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Let's continue."

He completely ignored Shen Yi.

Watching them leave so arrogantly, Su Sheng was furious. "Pah! They're just centurions, yet they think they're so important!"

"Alright, let's get to work!" Shen Yi lowered his head and continued to plank the wood, but his eyes glanced into the depths of the grass, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Once the planks were ready, the group immediately took out ropes and medicinal powder, tied the planks together, and continued on their way.

This time, there was no feeling of sinking into the ground.

Su Sheng was very surprised, "Shen Yi, how did you know that binding wooden boards could solve this problem?"

Shen Yi turned around and smiled at them, "Have you forgotten what I did before? People who cross rivers are very sensitive to water. This is the first time I've seen this terrain, but the principle remains the same."

Everyone was convinced of Shen Yi's abilities and hurriedly sped up their journey.

With the planks, the road ahead became much easier, and they were able to speed up. It was just tough on Xiong Kai, who was tracking them.

They were already weaker than Shen Yi and the others, and the mountainous terrain slowed them down, so they were almost lost.

In order not to fall behind, he almost forced himself to move forward.

After walking for about an hour, they encountered a group of soldiers from the Longxia Kingdom, who were quickly dealt with.

Shen Yi fired the signal flare only when he felt the situation was about right.

They also marked the corpses of the Longxia soldiers.

They continued forward, and Xiong Kai then appeared, about to tamper with the corpses, when he was nearly hit by an arrow that flew from the shadows.

He was startled and immediately dodged, only to see Shen Yi standing in the direction from which the arrow had come, looking at him with a half-smile.

Xiong Kaixin's heart sank; he'd been exposed!
The current situation is that Shen Yi could kill him at any moment, and he has no ability to resist. Escape!
Shen Yi's smile deepened as he watched Xiong Kai disappear into the bushes without hesitation.

Su Sheng was furious. "Why didn't you kill him just now? You missed such a good opportunity!"

Shen Yi raised the bow and arrow and said, "This is military equipment. If Xiong Kai dies by this arrow, Zhu Yixuan will definitely investigate. I can't give him any leverage. We shouldn't waste bows and crossbows unless absolutely necessary, so I'm just giving him a warning."

“You’re letting a tiger return to the mountains.” Song Yongnian frowned.

Shen Yi shook his head and looked in the direction Xiong Kai had fled. "Don't worry, it's not a good thing for a cripple like him to be alone in these dangerous mountains. Rather than us taking action, let this mountain take care of him for us!"

The group's expressions softened somewhat, and they continued walking forward.

Time flies in the mountains. The group acted as the vanguard and had no idea how long they had been walking. They killed any enemy they encountered and hid when they were in danger. They did this for four or five days without encountering any large enemy force.

Su Sheng said, "The Longxia Kingdom's army should have all withdrawn. Should we turn back?"

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, "No one saw the signal flare, which means the marshal did not order a retreat. Going back now would be considered desertion, which is not appropriate. Let's continue forward and see what happens."

Everyone could only follow Shen Yi's pace, completely unaware that they had already reached the depths of the mountains and forests, and that they would be leaving the mountains soon.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yixuan and his group were fighting against three thousand enemy troops from the Dragon Xia Kingdom.

It's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky, but they actually ran into the commander of the Longxia Kingdom. The two sides fought fiercely in the valley for a day and a night, annihilating three thousand Longxia soldiers.

Zhu Yixuan crawled out of the pool of blood, laughing maniacally, "I did it! I did it! Hahaha!"

The news spread immediately, and Cen Yingfan was extremely excited. "Marshal, the Dragon Xia Kingdom's ruler has been killed. Can we retreat now?"

They've been fighting for so many days, they must have lost quite a few people.

The marshal nodded in satisfaction and ordered Cen Yingfan to withdraw the troops.

Having already covered more than half the distance, Shen Yi and his group were unable to receive the message immediately. They continued forward without stopping, and before they knew it, they had entered a bamboo forest.

There was also a group of wild boars fighting in the bamboo forest.

This scene left the few people, who had never seen anything like it, completely stunned.

"Shen Yi, what are these things? They're so dense and so tall, we've never seen anything like them anywhere. Look, there are snakes on top of them!" Su Sheng drew his sword and stared intently at the snakes.

Suddenly a voice rang out, "Hey! You're from Langya Kingdom, aren't you?"

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was coming from the location of the wild boars. Their foreheads were full of question marks.

"Shen Shengyi, it's a ghost! The wild boar is talking!" Su Sheng swallowed hard, his eyes filled with terror.

"It's not a wild boar! I'm in the pit, save me!" the voice rang out again.

This time, Shen Yi didn't hesitate and immediately drew his crossbow, shooting it at the wild boar's head.

A mournful howl echoed through the bamboo forest.

The wounded wild boar went berserk and charged at Shen Yi and his companions.

Su Sheng and his men immediately drew their bows, and the four wild boars quickly died under the crossbows.

Shen Yi was certain that the wild boar had no chance to fight back, so he rushed over and found a mangled human body huddled in the trap.

"Quick! Get me out of here!"

Shen Yi and Song Yongnian worked together to clear the dangers from the trap before jumping down to check on each other.

Shen Dagou, who was guarding upstairs, poked his head out and asked loudly, "Brother Shen, how's the situation?"

"The situation is not good. The thigh and abdomen are injured, and the wounds must be treated and the bleeding stopped immediately."

Liu Laosan took out a small bundle from his bosom and handed it to Shen Yi. His pale face was devoid of color. "I'm dying. Take this back and give it to the Marshal. Remember, you must give it to the Marshal personally."

He has no other choice but to take a gamble and choose to trust the person in front of him.

Shen Yi ignored him and focused on treating his wounds. When the sharp weapon was pulled out, a spurt of blood gushed out.

Shen Yi shouted urgently, "Quick, give me a needle and thread."

Even as the wound bled, he carefully stitched up the wound while trying to stop the bleeding, seemingly oblivious to the sweat dripping down his chin.

Worried that Liu Laosan wouldn't be able to hold on, Song Yongnian quickly took out some pills for him to swallow, saying, "I don't know if this medicine will work for you, but try it first."

Those were heart-protecting pills and blood-nourishing pills prepared by Su Tai; she didn't know if they would be effective.

Without hesitation, Liu Laosan swallowed the pills, prepared to die. He was quite philosophical about it and could even smile as he spoke to them, "How did you end up here? Beyond this point is the outer edge of the mountain."
