Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

At this moment, an intelligence agent from Great Xia was wearing a monocular thermal imager and rapidly advancing in the direction that Taylor Swift and the man were moving.

But he had only taken less than fifteen meters when he heard the rustling of leaves behind him. When he turned around, he saw a cobra coiled around a tree trunk, almost touching his face, less than a fist's distance away, staring straight at him.

"Hissssss~"

The silver snake flicked its tongue.

Because of the close proximity, the snake's tongue even pressed against his face, licking his nose repeatedly.

The moment that sticky sensation touched the intelligence officer, his face changed drastically, and he looked panicked.

He had never encountered such a situation before, and his first reaction was one of panic.

But relying on instinct, he skillfully drew his dagger and stabbed upwards quickly.

"Pfft!"

With a thud, the cobra, which was just about to make a move, was stabbed in the neck by the intelligence officer with a dagger, passing through its head from its chin, and the snake's body stopped moving instantly.

Upon seeing this, the weather reporter breathed a sigh of relief and cursed in disgust.

"unlucky!"

Then, he pulled out the dagger, grabbed the snake's body, and flung it aside.

What he didn't notice was that snake blood accidentally splattered onto his pants, and a pungent, burning smell wafted up instantly.

The intelligence officer frowned, looked down in confusion, and instantly saw that the blood had already burned through his pants, revealing the skin underneath.

The next second, the blood stained the skin, and an intense burning sensation immediately followed.

"what!"

The intelligence officer was suddenly burned and cried out in pain. Instantly, his skin turned purple and black at a visible speed, and he could no longer feel his calf.

"Poisoned!"

This was the first thought in the intelligence officer's mind.

Faced with this emergency and having no emergency medication on him, his first reaction was to cut off a piece of his own flesh.

The intelligence officer's eyes hardened, and he picked up a twig from the side, biting it tightly with his teeth.

At this moment, cold sweat was already streaming down his forehead. Anyone would be terrified at the thought of cutting their own body, even a highly trained intelligence officer.

But in the end, his eyes narrowed, and he let out a low growl like a predator hunting its prey, gripping the dagger in his hand and plunging it deep into his calf.

With a 'splatter!' sound, blood splattered.

However, the intelligence officer looked shocked.

Because he couldn't feel any pain.

At that moment, the spot where he cut with the dagger was exactly one centimeter in front of the area where the venom had infected and spread.

At this point, the rest of his body was still intact.

Even though the skin appears normal, the lack of sensation indicates that the nervous system beneath the skin is numb, allowing the venom to penetrate extremely quickly.

Once it invades the body, there is absolutely no cure.

At that moment, the intelligence officer's face turned ugly. Without thinking, he immediately stabbed the dagger into his groin, expecting it to hurt so much that he would scream.

I still felt nothing.

Then, all that remained in the eyes of the intelligence team members was terror and despair.

Because he could no longer feel the existence of his own legs.

Suddenly, his face turned ashen as he raised his hand to his own neck, his mouth slightly open, trying to scream but unable to breathe.

Because the venom had already rapidly seeped from his calf into his brain.

Instantly, the intelligence officer felt a sharp pain in his brain, then his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground dead.

What seems like a long process actually takes only a few seconds from start to finish, or even less than five seconds.

Meanwhile, in several other directions, intelligence agents from various countries fell victim to the attack, with none able to break through the 20-meter defense line, let alone track down to 200 meters.

This natural barrier is practically invincible; it is difficult to break through without specialized tools.

Meanwhile, a hundred meters away in this primeval forest, behind a boulder, an intelligence agent from the Great Xia Dynasty frowned deeply, his face grim.

Because Bactria was adjacent to North India.

Therefore, the intelligence teams of Great Xia also had considerable knowledge of their various barriers.

Therefore, it is clear that the natural barrier here is extremely difficult to overcome.

But this was the first time I'd really gone into it deeply.

Since he didn't bring any special tools this time, he chose the unique way of doing things in the Great Xia Dynasty: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He wanted to be the oriole, lying in wait at the end to see how others would act.

All of these team members fell to the ground dead. As for the two from North India, he knew exactly which direction and location they had entered the forest from.

However, the intelligence officer had no idea how the route inside was winding.

Left with no other option, he reported the situation to his superior, who, upon learning of the predicament, sighed in resignation.

"Come back, don't sacrifice in vain."

This leader was actually very clear about the situation there, and sure enough, the final result was as he had expected, ending in failure.

Meanwhile, in North India, Sanjay Sharma led Taylor through the forest and came out into North India.

Before them lay a remote desert with a well-constructed, flat road, but no vehicles were on it. The road was extremely long and stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

Taylor Swift, weary and panting, followed behind Sanjay Sharma. She was already regretting following this bastard down this path; crossing this forest was fraught with danger.

Just now, she was almost attacked by a venomous snake. If Sanjay Sharma hadn't reacted quickly and killed it instantly, she would probably have perished here as well.

After finally emerging from the forest, just when they were thirsty and exhausted, they found themselves on an empty road, another obstacle to overcome.

"What do we do next? Should we continue down this path?"

Taylor Swift stopped and said angrily.

Sanjay Sharma shook his head:

"Don't worry, our backup team will be here soon."

After saying that, Sanjay Sharma dug up the soil next to a seemingly inconspicuous mound in front of him and took out a smoke bomb that had been placed in advance.

He pulled the fuse of the smoke grenade, and with a deafening roar, a signal flare shot straight into the sky, reaching a height of a thousand meters. With a loud bang, the firework exploded instantly. Then, Sanjay Sharma placed the remaining smoke grenade tubes on the ground, rolled them into a small cube, and tossed them into a pit with satisfaction. He then covered them with sand, stomping on the clod several times until it was completely covered with loose soil.

"Alright, now we just need to wait."

Taylor Swift nodded. She wasn't interested in what Sanjay Sharma was doing, nor did she want to know why he did it that way.

All she wants right now is to find a place to rest.

But the ground was covered in dirt, and she didn't want to get her clothes dirty, so she insisted on standing there.

Sanjay Sharma scoffed:
"She's really spoiled; she can't even handle this little bit of hardship."

He shook his head silently.

But he knew that Taylor Swift was a top agent in North India and needed to be taken good care of; this was something his superiors had specifically instructed him to do.

Left with no other choice, Sanjay Sharma had to take off his coat and spread it on the ground:
"sit down."

Taylor Swift glanced at him in surprise, then, without further ado, sat down on his coat to rest.

Being able to sit down and rest for a while made Taylor Swift feel much more relaxed, and her body felt much lighter, no longer as tired as before.

Ten minutes later, accompanied by the roar of a sports car, a sports car sped towards the end of the straight road at a speed of at least 400 kilometers per hour.

What was just a tiny black dot on the horizon was now right in front of us in the blink of an eye, less than a few dozen seconds.

"gone."

Sanjay Sharma called out.

Taylor Swift immediately stood up, grabbed her bag, which contained the most important item for this mission.

After the vehicle stopped, the driver was also a burly man, with a stubble beard, sharp features, and resolute eyes. He also had a strong physique, and the calluses on his hands showed that he was a highly trained special agent.

"Miss Taylor Swift, it's been a long time."

The agent turned around, looked at Taylor Swift, and said with a smile.

"long time no see."

Taylor Swift greeted him with a smile. She knew this person well, but she didn't know his name. He was always the one who picked her up when she went on missions or came back. She didn't expect it to be him again this time, which surprised her. However, this made Taylor Swift completely relax.

Then, half an hour later, they arrived at a remote mountain valley, hidden deep in the mountains and far from any other human settlements. This place was home to many large research institutes.

Taylor Swift's primary task is to deliver these blood samples here.

Taylor Swift, having completed her mission, can finally take a good rest.

Meanwhile, within the Great Xia territory, after settling in, Jiang Nian slept soundly and had a wonderful long sleep. He hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Nian opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside was still dark. He checked his watch and found that it was only four in the morning.

However, Jiang Nian jumped up in a flash, quickly washed up and got dressed, then opened the door and went out for her morning exercise.

To my surprise, when I went out onto the street, I found that there were quite a few elderly men and women and some young people who had started their morning exercise.

"It's only four in the morning."

You should know that Jiang Nian is now a powerful cultivator; even if he doesn't sleep for half a month, it won't have any effect on him.

Sleeping for six hours will allow him to recover to peak condition and be in excellent spirits.

That's why Jiang Nian can exercise with such energy.

The fact that these ordinary people can get up so early can only mean that everyone present is an early riser and a person with a very normal daily routine.

Jiang began his morning exercise, running for over a hundred kilometers before finally returning to his hotel at six o'clock in the morning.

After washing up, Jiang Nian got up and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. The breakfast was pretty good this time, with not only the most basic fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, but also some Western-style pastries.

The service at this hotel is really good, and they have a wide variety of options.

Jiang Nian smiled broadly, feeling relaxed. If Taylor Swift were here, she would probably be chattering away, wanting to try every single dish, then sticking close to him, excitedly commenting on each one. It would be so much fun.

Jiang Nian shook his head, both amused and exasperated. The sudden silence felt quite strange.

He then thought of:

"I wonder how Yang Mi has been these past few days."

I was thinking that I should visit the set to see how Yang Mi was filming. She had already consulted with all the directors and even brought in a few assistant directors to help her with the filming.

As for her drama, after all preparations were completed, the actors were officially in place, but it is still unknown whether filming will begin.

"Oh my, Teacher Jiang Nian is up so early?"

Just then, a voice came from beside Jiang Nian. Xu Ke and Brother Tian came together, both wearing pajamas and slippers, and greeted Jiang Nian with smiles.

"I just got up too."

Jiang Nian said with a smile.

The two burst into laughter, and Brother Tian said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"It's good to be young. Back in my youth, I could get up this early and be full of energy. I can't do that now."

Brother Tian shook his head, then yawned, looking sleepy.

Seeing how tired Tian Ge looked, Jiang Nian suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something: he needed to improve Tian Ge's health. Otherwise, making him work at such a high intensity would only make him more exhausted.

Thinking it over, after Tian Ge and Xu Ke had both received their favorite foods and sat down in front of him, Jiang Nian spoke:

"Director Tian, ​​you've really worked hard these past few days."

Brother Tian paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"It's no trouble at all. It's our honor that Mr. Jiang Nian asked us for help."

At this moment, Brother Tian was very excited. He genuinely believed it. After all, it wasn't an opportunity that anyone could just have if they wanted to.

After this is completed.

Once this matter gets out, and all your colleagues treat you with awe, everyone will think you have a connection with the State Security Department, and your status and resources will increase significantly.

You have to understand, as an older generation director, he can no longer grasp what young people like, and many people are unwilling to invest in him.

But with this connection, things will definitely improve; Brother Tian has no doubt about that.

Because past events have proven that as long as there is a connection with government departments, the matter will definitely receive attention.

However, some individuals among them will see their status rise accordingly.

Brother Tian was really looking forward to this.

Just as he was about to eat an egg, Jiang Nian placed two fingers together on his pulse. (End of Chapter)
