It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Mu Qian walked up to Lin Shu, who subconsciously lowered his head.

"We went to stop Ali not to oppose her, but to save her."

Lin Shu looked up in confusion; he didn't understand!

Mu Qian continued, "This branch of the Min family and the branch in Jiazigou have been separated for hundreds of years. What the Min family in Jiazigou did has nothing to do with this branch."

"I stopped Ali because I didn't want her to regret it later."

Lin Shu and Sun Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that they had separated hundreds of years ago.

It really doesn't have much to do with Jiazigou.

"Boss, I don't think we need to rush over there. Maybe Ali understands that this branch has nothing to do with the one in Jiazigou, and won't make a move."

Lin Shu chimed in, "Ali is a good person and wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Mu Qian actually had the same thought in his heart, fearing what might happen...

If Ali really slaughtered the secluded village, Huang Gui, Wu Jiu, and even the other people in the Bureau of Strange Events would definitely have a lot of opinions and hatred towards Ali.

This is something he doesn't want to see.

"No matter what, we'd better get there as soon as possible."

……

Boom boom...

Yun Li was unaware that the commotion caused by her throwing the grenade had unsettled everyone.

At this point, she was quite angry; even the blasting hadn't created a path out of the illusion.

When I get angry, I feel a bit hungry, so I might as well go into my space and eat my fill before coming out.

While Yun Li turned his anger into a hunger, Yun Xuan trembled and hid in a tree hole.

At first, she thought about calling for help, but when she heard the occasional explosions, she didn't dare to.

My gut feeling is that the person who dropped the bomb is crazy. I'm terrified that my hiding place will be affected and I'll be blown to pieces.

Ok?

There was no movement for a while. Could it be that the bombs have all been detonated?

She cautiously peeked out, but in the dead of night, she couldn't see anything.

I listened carefully, but there was absolutely no sound.

good chance!

She instinctively knew she had to seize this opportunity to leave this place quickly, or it would be very dangerous.

Using a stick as a support, he struggled to stand up, supporting himself with his intact hand on the tree hollow. He hopped out of the hollow and headed towards the direction where the tree hadn't been bombed.

Luck is a really hard thing to explain.

Originally unable to find her way out, Yunxuan, through Yunli's blast, inadvertently took the right path and finally escaped this eerie forest.

As dawn broke, Yun Li, who had been fast asleep in the space after a hearty meal the night before, was still sleeping soundly.

But some people didn't sleep all night.

For example, the Min family in the secluded town, Huang Gui and the witch Jiu far away on the border, and Director Wei of the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

There were also Mu Qian, Sun Tianxiang, and Lin Shu, who had traveled overnight to the eerie forest.

The three of them twitched as they looked at the cratered area.

"Did Ali do this? And where did she get the gunpowder?" Sun Tianxiang's eyelids twitched, and even the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Mu Qian didn't speak, but stared thoughtfully at the potholes.

Lin Shu responded, "Not surprising, she also has a machine gun."

At this moment, Sun Tianxiang also remembered that when she first met Yun Li, she had used a machine gun to shoot at that spy.

"By the way, I don't think I saw that machine gun again. Did she lose it?"

Sun Tianxiang rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

Lin Shu shook his head; he didn't know either.

Mu Qian smiled, and although others didn't know, he used his mental power to see that she had made her gun disappear.

Initial guess is that she has a magic bag.

This thing exists only in legends; it is an extremely rare item. If it were known to others, even Director Wei might be tempted to snatch it to serve the country.

This is also why he didn't even mention Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu.

He wasn't greedy for the Qiankun Bag, but now he was somewhat greedy for the things in her storage bag.

Could there be even more powerful firearms that far surpass the capabilities of this era?

If so, he'd like to see it.

"Boss, have you seen Ali somewhere?"

Sun Tianxiang's voice pulled Mu Qian back to his senses. After regaining his composure, he released his mental energy to scan the area.

He then shook his head, "I didn't see Ali, but I discovered a strange phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?"

"This forest is so big that you can't see the end of it, and the trees inside are too thick and ancient."

Mu Qian put one hand behind his back, his eyes deep in thought. "If I remember correctly, this should just be a small hill."

Even if few people set foot there, it's not like no one has ever been there at all; it's impossible for trees to exist that are hundreds or even thousands of years old.

Hearing this, Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu were surprised. A tree that's over a thousand years old? How big must that be?

The two looked around. Although the nearby trees were also very large, they looked only a few decades old, not at all like they were hundreds of years old.

"Boss, where are those trees located? And how do you know they're hundreds or even thousands of years old?"

Mu Qian looked at the two of them, and finally his gaze fell on Lin Shu. "Most of those trees would require six or seven Lin Shus to carry over."

Sun Tianxiang slowly shifted her gaze to Lin Shu's arm. Lin Shu was tall and strong, so his arms were naturally longer than the average person's.

Lin Shu cooperated with Sun Tianxiang by spreading his arms.

She gasped in surprise; it would take six or seven Lin Shus, with outstretched arms, to hug her—he was far too robust.

"That's really weird."

Mu Qian smiled and said, "It's not too strange, after all, this is Huang Gui's territory."

Aside from Director Wei and Wu Jiu, who often acted with him, only Mu Qian knew Huang Gui's true identity.

Mu Qian only learned about the guardian spirit in Jiazigou from Director Wei after he already knew about it.

When Huang Gui was mentioned, Sun Tianxiang pursed her lips and started loading the goods.

Not only does he wear ancient costumes, but he also acts like a noble young master all the time.

He would indifferently walk away every time he saw her, preventing her from even having a chance to greet him politely.

She thought Huang Gui disliked her, but that wasn't the case. It was just that Huang Gui's true form was a beast, and dealing with someone who could speak beast language would eventually expose his identity.

We had no choice but to avoid it.

"Boss, we need to find Ali."

Lin Shu wasn't interested in the ancient tree, nor in Huang Gui; he only wanted to see Ali safe and sound.

Mu Qian nodded and stepped forward.

Yun Li slept until nine in the morning. After waking up, she washed up, ate breakfast, and then left the space.

However, this time I brought four generals with me, hoping they could find a way out.

The forest appears large only because of an illusion; it is actually not that big.

The moment they stepped out of the space, Yun Li and Mu Qian, who both possessed spiritual power, immediately noticed each other.

Yun Li was puzzled. How did they end up here?

Thinking about it, he walked towards the three of them.

Mu Qian also told Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu, "We've found Ali."

With that, he walked towards Yunli.

Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu were overjoyed. Less than twenty minutes later, the four of them met up.

As soon as they met, Sun Tianxiang hugged Yun Li, which seemed to have become a ritual for every meeting.

After being kneaded and squeezed, Sun Tianxiang finally released Yun Li.

"How did you get here?" Yun Li asked first.
