Why did you provoke me?

Liu Wei hung his head and stopped talking to Niannian. It was too disheartening. If he weren't so strong-willed, he probably would have become depressed by now.

Niannian's steps finally became lighter. She wanted to take care of her fourth sister's soldier, but she was so clumsy that she couldn't even catch him when she fed him. It really made her angry.

Seeing that they had already gone quite far into the dense forest, Liu Wei still hadn't remembered about the communication bell. Nian Nian helplessly took out her own communication bell and waved it in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei belatedly realized what was happening, took out his communication ring, and subconsciously sent a message to Xiao Wen.

Hearing the distinctive sound during the battle, Xiao Wen hurriedly jumped out of the fray.

Sure enough, he hadn't misheard.

"Captain Xiao, this is Liu Wei. Can you share your location?" Liu Wei's simple voice rang out.

Cang Yunyi kept a close eye on Xiao Wen's movements and realized that he was the leader of this group.

Seeing what he took out, he narrowed his eyes. Was this a communication bell? Weren't they all broken? How come his still works?

Wait, who is he contacting? Is he sending reinforcements?

Cang Yunyi's eyes darkened; this was not good news. He turned to look at the Bone Painters on his side and asked softly, "Can you cripple them in one go? They seem to have a usable communication bell."

"Are you sure?" a gentle female voice asked.

"I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake!"

"Then take it by force!" A very domineering tone.

"Why don't we discuss this? Maybe we can resolve this peacefully," another voice said.

Cang Yunyi said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there won't be that time. Their reinforcements have probably arrived by now."

Both bone artists looked at him.

"Do they have backup?"

"How did they manage to let so many people know about such a mysterious place?"

Cang Yunyi, of course, did not know the specifics, but that did not stop him from nodding in agreement.

"Then rob it!" the domineering voice spoke again.

With a sense of certainty, Xiao Wengang breathed a sigh of relief, but the enemy's fighting style suddenly changed on the battlefield.

Their unique formation launched a relentless attack on Xiao Wen and his group. At the same time, the opposing bone painter also joined in without hesitation.

Jingyi was also dumbfounded. Just a moment ago they were exchanging friendly blows, how did it turn into a life-or-death struggle?

"The Bone Painter is mine!" Jingyi reacted quickly. This wasn't his first time participating in such a chaotic battle. His team members had plenty of tricks up their sleeves when it came to this.

The opposing artist clearly hadn't expected Jingyi and her group to be so aggressive. Although they found it strange that Jingyi and her group had so few lines, it didn't stop them from going all out.

Xiao Wen quickly realized what was happening and called out to Yan Lei, "Don't be reckless, keep your distance."

The rhythm of the battle suddenly changed, but no one seemed to feel uncomfortable; it was as it should have been.

Although Jingyi and his group have few lines, each one is worth ten, and their lines are irregular, which naturally suppresses the lines of human bone painters.

Gradually, the other party's bone artist felt the pressure.

"How come their lines are so strong?" a gentle voice asked, puzzled.

"Then let's take action against them." He said directly, his domineering tone showing no restraint.

"Isn't that a bad idea? People could die."

"It's not like you haven't done it before."

The sudden scream startled Jingyi; he recognized Yan Lei's voice.

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Wen also looked over and saw about ten lines surrounding Yan Lei, and the person fighting Yan Lei had already slashed at Yan Lei's neck with a dagger.

"Yan Lei, jump!" Xiao Wen shouted.

Jingyi's lines and Xiao Wen pounced on Yan Lei together. Yan Lei was already blind and his consciousness was a little confused, but he still remembered that he was fighting. When he heard Xiao Wen's voice, he jumped up on the spot with one foot on his weapon without thinking.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through his thigh, causing him to stumble and fall to the side.

Jingyi's lines pierced the mind of the person holding the dagger without hesitation, and the person collapsed to the ground without even reacting.

Xiao Wen hugged Yan Lei tightly. "Lei Zi, it's me."

Yan Lei, who was about to struggle, stopped. "My leg is injured."

"It's alright, Liu Wei is here."

"Okay, I'll take a nap then."

Xiao Wen patted Yan Lei's face, "You can't sleep, if you sleep you're finished, Lei Zi, stay awake, do you hear me? Watch me avenge you."

"Oh, my head hurts. It won't hurt if I fall asleep. It's okay, I'll wake up." Yan Lei said indistinctly with his eyes closed.

"Beat him! Beat him to death!" Xiao Wen's anger could no longer be contained.

Cang Yunyi did not expect that Yan Lei's injury would ignite Xiao Wen's anger, but now it is unstoppable.

Both sides were completely enraged, and at this point, whoever held back would surely be the one to die.

Liu Wei looked at the location on the communication bell. "Teacher Yu, we're about ten miles away. I can hear what sounds like fighting on his end. Shall we go full speed ahead?"

"Ah, it's already started, so what are we waiting for? Hurry up!" Nian Nian snatched Liu Wei's communication bell. "I'll lead the way."

Little Gray wrapped itself around Nian Nian's feet, and its speed suddenly increased significantly.

Yu Meng shook her head behind her; this guy still hadn't learned his lesson.

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly called everyone to follow and recounted his conversation with Xiao Wen.

Those who had a voice transmission ring had already taken it out to contact people they knew, and sure enough, the voice transmission ring was working.

Everyone could only sigh; the captain was the captain, and in some aspects, he was still a little bit better than them.

Once the chaotic battle mode started, more and more people were injured. Jingyi's people stopped holding back and seized every opportunity to knock out enemy warriors.

Cang Yunyi was shocked. How did they do that? A single line could render his men unable to fight. He didn't even know if they were dead.

When Yu Meng and the others arrived, the battle had already reached a fever pitch. Xiao Wen was attacking Cang Yunyi as if he had gone mad, but Cang Yunyi's orderly footwork clearly indicated that he was not using his full strength.

Niannian looked at Yu Meng, eager to do something. Yu Meng glared at her, "Go save people first."

Liu Wei's men scattered in all directions to begin treating their own people.

Cang Yunyi looked at the people who came, and well, he couldn't recognize any of them.

"I'll go help Jingyi." Niannian raised her hand and released her own lines.

Little Gray, acting as the arrowhead, charged directly at the opponent's Bone Painter.

"Don't you know the rules? How dare you interfere in our fight?" the gentle voice shouted angrily.

"Jingyi, step back, I'll take over." Niannian ignored her completely and said directly to Jingyi.

Jingyi didn't say a word and immediately changed her target.

"You're breaking the rules."

"You broke the rules when you laid a hand on the soldiers. Now you're talking to me about the rules? Do you even deserve to?" Nian Nian's words were not just for show.

As soon as she arrived, she discovered that her warriors were being attacked by lines, and she was very protective of her own.

Yu Meng came to Yan Lei's side. Tsk tsk, how pitiful!

Looking at the long wound on her leg, Yu Meng took out a medicinal stone, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it directly on the wound.

The wounds from the line attacks in her mind were very obvious. Although she was reluctant, Yu Meng still took out her own secret medicine and forced it down Yan Lei's throat.

Liu Wei stood beside Yu Meng, helping out, and asked, "Will Yan Lei be alright?"

"It's okay to suffer a little," Yu Meng replied affirmatively.

Liu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking around at the people, whether lying down or fighting, none of them looked alright. Bruised and swollen faces were the least of their worries; those with bloodstains were even more horrific, their faces practically unrecognizable, covered in blood.
