Why did you provoke me?

In fact, Niannian's path of cultivation was smooth sailing. She had been cultivating under Yu Meng's guidance, and Yu Meng taught her things that she had personally practiced. Therefore, Niannian did not take any detours or suffer any hardships.

Now that she is going to endure hardship in her cultivation, Yu Meng will naturally not refuse.

But she still managed to make the tyrant hold back a bit. And the first time she was whipped was also a fight with Little Gray.

Niannian's eyes were shining. "Fourth Sister, tell Bawang to put in a little more force. Little Gray has a big temper!"

It wasn't until the overlord used thirty percent of his strength that the little gray straw finally gave way and fell to the ground.

Nian Nian directed Xiao Hui to climb onto the largest cluster of aliens again.

The rest of the lines were all extinguished with a single swing of the Overlord's tentacles.

Niannian approached Bawang with a grin, "You're so majestic, but that's not enough for you. You have to leave them with some hope, and then let them despair. That's true love for them."

Ba Wang turned around, looking at Yu Meng with a thoughtful expression. "Fourth Sister, what does it mean?"

Yu Meng suppressed a laugh, "They're too weak; it's too lazy to do anything about them."

Niannian turned around too, "They're weak, but if you strengthen them, it'll be so satisfying!"

The Overlord's tentacles twitched, and seeing an opening, Nian Nian added fuel to the fire, "I'm Fourth Sister's younger sister, and my tendrils are all your underlings. If they're too weak, you won't have any face left after we go out, will you?"

The Overlord stretched out its tentacles and looked in Yu Meng's direction, as if to confirm that what she said was true.

Yu Meng didn't make a decision for it either. "If you want to take them as your underlings, then train them hard. I have no objection."

Then she looked at Niannian. "When Little Grey fell down just now, did you feel any discomfort?"

Niannian shook her head. "I don't feel anything. Maybe it's because the Overlord couldn't bear to hurt those lines on my body."

The little gray straw's absorption capacity was indeed very strong. An hour later, it took the initiative to approach the Tyrant.

They stayed in this place for seven days, and all the aliens in the forest had been sucked up by the lines, and they were all lying weakly on the ground.

Niannian glanced at it. "Should we take it back for Aunt Qing to study?"

"How's your little gray straw doing? How much energy does it have?"

"It should have settled by one-tenth."

"Then let them stay here! Once they're healed, I'll come with you again."

Niannian nodded, "I'll listen to Fourth Sister." She paused, then looked at Yu Meng, "Fourth Sister, do you think there might be a place like this on other battlefields?"

Yu Meng looked at her. "You mean...?"

"I want my fourth sister to come with me to take a look." Niannian didn't mince words and stated her purpose directly.

Yu Meng pursed her lips. The little black cat and the Overlord also liked the natural energy on the outer perimeter that resembled the core of the formation. Going there wasn't out of the question!

However, she still hesitated. Was the abnormal energy on the outside natural, or was it set up by that long-haired man? If it was man-made, it seemed like she had ruined his plans again.

Seeing that Yu Meng didn't speak for a moment, Niannian asked again, "Is there a problem?"

After a moment's thought, Yu Meng revealed a little, "I know a master who can set up formations, and I'm afraid this was set up by him on purpose."

"Oh no, if that happens, wouldn't we be thieves?" After saying that, she hurriedly ran to Yu Meng, grabbed her hand, and walked outside.

"Fourth Sister, let's go quickly. I heard that those kinds of people can sense if the formation is disturbed."

"Wait a moment, I'll leave a monitoring alarm here."

"Fourth Sister, are there many? Leave a few on the way here too."

"OK."

"Fourth Sister, how come you only thought of something this big now? If we get caught red-handed, we'll be so embarrassed."

"I just remembered it too. With so many aliens, my first thought was that Little Grey is going to have a big meal. Who would think of anything else?" Yu Meng really hadn't thought of this.

If Niannian hadn't gone to another battlefield, she might not have remembered this at this time.

The two moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the grove of trees was left behind.

"Fourth Sister, shall we go straight back, or change direction?" Niannian gradually slowed down.

"Since we're already out, let's wander around!" This is our own territory, so we should at least check it out! With her and Niannian's strength, there's really no danger.

"Fourth Sister, if I had known there was so much energy waiting for me to absorb, I would have come much sooner," Niannian said with a hint of regret.

"You're dreaming. If it weren't for this seclusion and the additional insights I gained, do you think I would have dared to bring you into such a dangerous place? You'd be risking your life."

"Fourth Sister." Niannian grabbed Yu Meng's hand and shook it from side to side, "I was just saying, my life is very important."

Yu Meng tapped her forehead helplessly. "You, whatever you do, don't come alone. You didn't even see through the camouflage of that grove of trees. Who knows what will happen if you go in?"

"Okay, where do we go now?"

"This way!" Yu Meng pointed in a random direction.

"Fourth Sister, do you think we might encounter a place like that again?"

"How can you be so optimistic?"

"If one is one-tenth, then if there are ten, will my Little Gray be able to advance?"

"Let's go quickly, who can say for sure about things like this?"

As evening fell, they stood by a river, where smoke was billowing in the distance.

"Is anyone there?" Niannian asked softly.

Yu Meng gazed into the distance, recalling Qian Chuan's words: there was a group of self-exiled people left to fend for themselves in the depths. Could these be the people?

"Fourth Sister, what are you planning to do?"

"Let's see how things go. I need to ask Uncle Wu what he means."

"If he says he wants to save us, should we?"

"Then we'll see if it's worth saving."

After this incident, Niannian felt it was inappropriate to bring up the matter of finding resources again.

"Shall we go back?" Niannian asked.

"I sent a message to Uncle Wu. If we're going to rescue him, we need to figure out the situation first; it won't be that quick. Let's rest tonight, and tomorrow we'll try a different approach."

Secretary Wu had dinner and was having tea with Nangong Tianshou.

Yu Meng's message came in at this time.

Secretary Wu frowned and replied, "Most of the people at Jingchuan Base have been recalled. These people might be from other factions. Should we interfere?"

Nangong Tianshou watched him tapping on the communication bell, his forehead so wrinkled it could trap a fly, and asked, "Did something happen to Yu Meng?"

"No, they found some people deep in the battlefield and asked me what to do."

"Someone from old Jingchuan?"

"That shouldn't be the case, since they were basically all recalled back then."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm so worried, should I save her or not!"

Nangong Tianshou remained silent, unsure of what to do in this situation.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Let's send someone to take a look first. It's too early to say anything now."
