Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The carriage was moving rather slowly, and after a short while, it fell to the very back of the procession.

Seeing that the eldest prince and his entourage had caught up, Ji Yunshu stood outside the carriage, coldly watching them.

"Your Highness, what have you done? You've attracted these crocodiles again! These wild crocodiles usually don't attack people like this unless you provoke them. Tell me, what have you done?!"

The team had reached the foot of a mountain, and the route indicated that they would have to cross the mountain and descend to reach a slightly flatter area.

They had to climb over this towering mountain.

But right now, they're being chased by crocodiles, the carriage can't move, and everyone's exhausted. They have to deal with the crocodiles first.

The eldest prince glanced at her sideways, somewhat displeased with Ji Yunshu's attitude. After thinking for a moment, he said irritably,

"What can I, the prince, do to them? Those disgusting creatures, I avoid them like the plague, yet they keep chasing after me!"

As the eldest prince was speaking, he was about to have Xiao Wu drive the carriage forward when he paused, his gaze falling on Ji Yunshu.

Since Ji Yunshu knows that this thing is called a crocodile and knows their habits, he should be able to subdue them.

In addition, Ji Yunshu has hidden weapons, so even if we can't subdue these disgusting monsters, there should be no danger in staying with Ji Yunshu.

Thinking of this, he quickly said to Xiao Wu, who was driving the carriage, "Drive our carriage into the middle of their carriages!"

With Xie Lin in front and Ji Yunshu behind, his carriage was in the middle, making it the safest place.

Xiao Wu glanced at Ji Yunshu and found that Ji Yunshu was glaring at him. He smiled awkwardly and did not dare to disobey Chu Jinsheng's order. He carefully drove the carriage and squeezed between Ji Yunshu's and Xie Lin's carriages.

The three carriages were parked side by side, while the other guards rushed into the midst of the villagers.

The villagers were already exhausted, and with the guards pushing them around, they stumbled and fell. The once orderly escape suddenly turned into chaos.

At this moment, the crocodiles behind them caught up. These crocodiles seemed to be well-trained. First, they surrounded the carriage, and then several of them rushed forward and surrounded the villagers who were traveling ahead.

"Ah, help!"

"Ah, go away, go away!"

Still haunted by the previous attack, everyone was terrified and scrambled to find a place to hide.

In an instant, the line descended into chaos.

Even the horses were startled, stamping their hooves nervously, as if they might charge off at any moment.

The crocodiles gradually caught up and surrounded them, each one looking ferocious with its mouth wide open, as if it were about to tear them apart at any moment.

Ji Yunshu couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped down from the carriage, coldly looking around with wary eyes.

What on earth happened? They've run so far, why are these crocodiles still chasing after them? What did the Crown Prince and the others do?!

In another carriage, Xie Moyao stood solemnly, holding the pistol Ji Yunshu had given him in one hand, and several pebbles in the other.

His internal strength has recovered considerably. Even though he can't move his legs, he can still repel the crocodiles that charge at him by throwing stones with his hands.

While cautiously looking around, Ji Yunshu considered whether she should take out a machine gun from her spatial storage.

With so many crocodiles, how long would it take to shoot them all down with just a pistol?

Moreover, once crocodiles smell blood, their animalistic instincts are aroused, and all the surrounding crocodiles will swarm over, making it difficult for them to escape.

As she selected a machine gun, her eyes kept an eye on her surroundings.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. The crocodiles had only temporarily surrounded them and were not in a hurry to make any moves.

The crocodile's eyes were bloodshot, and it kept opening its mouth at them, as if it were saying something.

Ji Yunshu was helpless; she didn't know animal language and couldn't understand what these crocodiles were saying.

She slowly turned her head and looked at the eldest prince not far away.

The eldest prince and Ji Yunyao were huddled together in the carriage, showing no intention of coming out.

"Chu Jinsheng, think carefully about how you offended them! They are not in a hurry to attack us, but are just in a standoff, which should be giving you a chance."

Think quickly, did you disturb their nest, or kill their young?

If Chu Jinsheng and his group really kill the baby crocodiles, then a bloody battle is inevitable today, as these crocodiles will not let them off easily.

Chu Jinsheng, who had been nestled in the carriage, embracing Ji Yunyao, stood up through gritted teeth upon hearing Ji Yunshu's words.

"I said no! No! No! How many times do I have to say it? These things are so disgusting and ferocious, why would I touch their offspring! All animals are protective of their young, I know that! So, how could I possibly harm their offspring? Do you really think I'm brainless?!"

"Hmph, I don't know if you have a brain! You say you don't, but what about your people? With so many people under you, is it possible that any of them have hurt their cubs?"

I advise you to question them thoroughly!

When we left, those crocodiles didn't chase after us; it's clearly your doing! I advise you to thoroughly question them and see if it was one of your men. If so, get rid of him immediately to prevent others from being implicated!

She should take responsibility for the trouble she caused. She wasn't kind enough to risk being exposed to help others solve their problems!

The eldest prince frowned, thinking that Ji Yunshu's words seemed to make some sense.

These crocodiles did indeed suddenly appear and chase them. He looked coldly at the guards, his tone devoid of any warmth.

"Speak! Did you injure these baby crocodiles while you were fleeing, or trespass into their territory and damage their belongings? If so, return the items immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the guards, whose faces were already pale from running, turned even paler, and they shook their heads frantically.

"No, Your Highness, we didn't touch their things!"

"Yes, Your Highness, we really didn't! These things are so terrifying, how could we dare to hurt them? Their attack power is so strong, it would be difficult for our swords to harm them."

We killed two crocodiles before, but they weren't cubs; they were about the same size as these, clearly adults. Will they keep chasing us just because we killed adult crocodiles?

"But you can't blame us! The situation was too urgent. We killed those two crocodiles to protect you, Your Highness!"

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then quickly walked to the Crown Prince's side. "Your Highness, what they said is absolutely true. The situation was too urgent at the time. If we hadn't taken action against those two crocodiles, they might have hurt you."

But those two crocodiles were definitely adults, about the same size as these crocodiles, and definitely not cubs!

Upon hearing this, Chu Jinsheng frowned.

He knew something about the situation at the time, and he contributed to killing the two crocodiles.

"I was there when those two crocodiles were killed. They were exactly the same size as adult crocodiles, not the cubs you mentioned."

Is it possible that even if these crocodiles are not cubs, they will kill us all if we hurt their companions?

So, you did help those crocodiles back then, and you killed quite a few of them. Perhaps they were also chasing after you!
