Yang Fei noticed that among the captured people, there were no Mad Blade, Fan Yi, or the Three Swords, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The face of the burly River Beaver was full of mockery.

"Mr. Yang Fei, let me reintroduce myself, the Great Protector of the Witch Clan's Fire Gate, River Beaver, at your service."

As he spoke, he stood up, bones cracking loudly, a column of Essence Qi rising from his head, tangible and substantial.

The intense burning sensation made Yang Fei's skin sting with pain.

Yang Fei's eyes narrowed as he spoke coldly.

"So you were hiding your strength, a True Martial Master, I apologize for underestimating you."

River Beaver laughed heartily: "Isn't it true that Mr. Yang and your comrades were hiding your strength?"

"You just never dreamed that the Great White Bear Mercenaries were actually an armed force controlled by our Witch Clan's Fire Gate, did you?"

Yang Fei nodded: "Indeed, I didn't see that coming."

At this moment, Dan Dan poked his head out of Yang Fei's embrace.

The little guy looked at the smug River Beaver, spat disdainfully, "Idiot!"

River Beaver was slightly taken aback and then laughed maliciously.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be such a kind person. Did you pick up this kid?"

Yang Fei watched the fallen members of Changfeng Squad on the ground without a trace of expression, noticing that none had stopped breathing.

He felt half-relieved but did not answer River Beaver's question.

Dan Dan glared at River Beaver, shook his head in disgust.

"The Wu Clan guys are getting worse, especially you from the Fire Tribe, all a bunch of useless scum."

River Beaver was again surprised; he had not expected this child, only two or three years old, to know such things.

Dan Dan coldly stared at River Beaver: "What are you looking at? Charges apply if you keep staring."

"Calling you an idiot and you still don't admit it. Do you really think you can keep us here?"

River Beaver was taken aback once more, then laughed loudly.

"This young friend makes a good point. It's indeed hard for me alone to keep Mr. Yang here, but look!"

As he spoke, he strode forward and flung open the tent flap.

Outside the flap, at least over three hundred people surrounded the tent, densely packed, guns pointed at Yang Fei and Dan Dan.

River Beaver looked at Yang Fei and Dan Dan blandly.

"So, can I keep Mr. Yang here this time?"

Yang Fei gasped, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Just to capture me, Yang Fei? Why use so many people?"

Dan Dan continued to clamor on the side.

"Peh, what's the use of so many fire sticks? Don't forget you're in the tent too, you'll be killed along with us."

Before he could finish, Yang Fei clamped a hand over his mouth.

Dan Dan, muffled by Yang Fei's hand, protested with fists and kicks.

Yang Fei lowered his voice: "If you want to stay alive, keep your mouth shut."

River Beaver laughed wantonly.

"He's right, if you want to live, shut up, make me mad, and I'll have you both shot right now."

Dan Dan made muffled sounds with his mouth, but Yang Fei held his mouth shut, unable to move.

Yang Fei looked at River Beaver blandly.

"This time, I really saw things wrong; I never expected you were hiding so deeply!"

River Beaver looked at Yang Fei with a hint of indifference: "You're not the first or the last to be fooled by my appearance. Surrender, will you?"

Yang Fei sighed and glanced down at the fallen Changfeng Squad members.

The Changfeng Squad members were all Core Formation to Divine Communication masters, but River Beaver's displayed strength had already reached the True Martial Realm.

With his strength, leading an army to handle Changfeng Squad wasn't a problem at all.

Yang Fei glanced at Dan Dan, then at the fallen Changfeng Squad members, and decisively raised his hand.

"Fine, I surrender, but this child is innocent, I hope you can let him go."

River Beaver sneered: "Innocent? There are many innocent people in war, adding him won't make a difference."

Dan Dan clung tightly to Yang Fei, waving his little fists.

"I'm a man of loyalty, I won't run away."

He said, looking at Yang Fei: "We'll face the bullets together and share our fortunes!"

Yang Fei almost smacked him on the back of the head, thinking what kind of loyalty is a little brat talking about at such a moment?

River Beaver sneered maliciously: "Very well, then I'll take you all down."

"To catch you lot, my head has suffered no small amount."

As he said this, he waved his hand, and soldiers surged into the camp like a tide, surrounding Yang Fei and Dan Dan.

Countless black muzzles aimed at Yang Fei and Dan Dan.

Dan Dan sneered: "Don't think anyone can catch us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Fei slapped him on the back of the head.

"Stop spouting nonsense."

Dan Dan was stunned, looking back at Yang Fei, only to see a warning look in Yang Fei's eyes, instantly silencing him.

River Beaver laughed aloud, waved his hand, and one of the soldiers fired a shot with a bang.

Yang Fei felt a sting in his back; he turned to look and saw a strong tranquilizing dart stuck in his back.

A stream of ice-cold liquid instantly injected into Yang Fei's body.

Tranquilizer dart!

A paralyzing sensation quickly drained the strength from Yang Fei's body.

An uncontrollable weakness and numbness spread rapidly from Yang Fei's spine.

Yang Fei slowly turned, but halfway through, he collapsed to the ground.

Before losing consciousness, he rasped out a shout.

"Mithril Sky Crystal is at..."

He suddenly fell silent, his head landing heavily on the ground.

River Beaver was shocked upon hearing about the Mithril Sky Crystal's location, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Yang Fei.

"What did you say, you know the location of the Mithril Sky Crystal?"

Yang Fei's lips curled into a strange smile, eyes unfocused as they rested on River Beaver.

"My brothers, if you dare harm a single one of them, you'll never get the location of the Mithril Sky Crystal from me!"

River Beaver was briefly stunned, then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Where is the Mithril Sky Crystal? Do you believe I won't just kill all of you?"

Yang Fei didn't answer, gradually closed his eyes, completely losing consciousness, with a strange smile still lingering on his lips.

"Damn, he actually knows the location of the Mithril Sky Crystal, now we can claim great merit!"

River Beaver was both joyous and frustrated, pacing in circles.

He suddenly spotted Dan Dan's small figure stealthily creeping toward the outside of the camp.

River Beaver instinctively pulled out his pistol, ready to shoot Dan Dan, but hesitated right at the moment of pulling the trigger.

On the ground, Yang Fei's body had become entirely rigid.

Yet his warning echoed persistently in River Beaver's ear.
