"What else is there to say? You're in cahoots with him too!"

"You can think that way, but what use is there in killing us? Can Mei Ying be turned back? Can those who have turned into statues return to normal?" Ban Cun man said.

"Why not give us a chance to break the curse of Huangshan Village? Maybe we could even return those turned into statues back to normal!"

"You're all incarnations of demons, we won't believe you!"

"Clan Leader, give the order, let us shoot these two demons."

"..."

The female Clan Leader waved her hand, signaling everyone not to rush.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "You mean there's still a chance for those petrified to turn back?"

"I just said it's a possibility," Ban Cun man replied.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance!" the female Clan Leader declared.

If Ban Cun man had replied with a straight 'possible,' she might have ordered her men to shoot them into sieves.

Because that would have been Ban Cun man saying anything just to survive.

But Ban Cun man's answer was 'a possibility.'

This showed that he was speaking the truth.

"No, Clan Leader, we can't let them go!"

"Yes, if they are servants of the demon, then we're releasing a tiger back into the mountains!"

"..."

Although the female Clan Leader agreed to give the two a chance.

The villagers of Huangshan Village did not agree.

"Of course, I'm not begging you, just mentioning a potential cooperation beneficial for everyone. If you're unwilling, I'll just leave!"

"Leaving won't be that easy!"

"With just you, you can't stop me!" Ban Cun man exuded an extremely domineering aura.

That powerful aura made it difficult for people to breathe.

"Terrifying, he's definitely an incarnation of a demon!"

"If I were an incarnation of a demon, why bother with words? I'd just kill you all!" Ban Cun man's voice was like a mighty bell, striking directly at everyone's hearts.

Even the female Clan Leader felt as if her heart was struck by a heavy hammer.

Ban Cun man indeed had such strength.

"If you don't believe me, maybe believe this!" Ban Cun man pulled out a notebook.

He handed it to the female Clan Leader.

Seeing the notebook handed over by Ban Cun man, the female Clan Leader was immediately invigorated.

She didn't recognize the notebook.

But she recognized one thing on it.

That was the national emblem of Huaxia.

This indicated that Ban Cun man was a man of the nation.

"I believe you." The female Clan Leader handed back Ban Cun man's military ID.

And gave a not-so-standard military salute to Ban Cun man.

Although she lived in these deep forests.

She still understood something about Huaxia soldiers.

After learning Ban Cun man was a Huaxia soldier, the villagers' attitudes changed.

Although Su Chen didn't see Ban Cun man's military ID.

But from its appearance, it was confirmed.

It was indeed the Divine Team's military ID.

"Alright, do you have maps?" Ban Cun man asked, looking at the female Clan Leader.

The female Clan Leader immediately called for maps to be brought over.

They were manually drawn.

After observing for a short while.

Ban Cun man took out a pen and marked several places.

Then, he handed the map to Su Chen.

"Young Brother Su Chen, here are the key points I've marked. See if you have anything to add."

Su Chen looked at the map.

He found the locations marked by Ban Cun man were very close to those he had in mind.

So he nodded and said, "The places you've marked align with my thoughts, but I think this place should be noted too."

Su Chen pointed at a position.

Seeing where Su Chen pointed, a trace of approval appeared on Ban Cun man's face.

"Young Brother Su Chen has indeed thought it through thoroughly."

The spot Su Chen pointed to was right near the cave!

The most dangerous place is often the safest.

If Gu Yue couldn't escape, it's very likely she would return to the cave.

After all, who would have thought she had doubled back again?

Moreover, people held fear of the cave.

They might not search there.

Looking at the map, the villagers of Huangshan Village widened their eyes, saying, "The other places are fine, but we absolutely won't go there."

Indeed, the villagers of Huangshan Village were very afraid of the cave.

Even after both explained the calamity had been taken out, the curse would no longer strike, not many were willing to go.

"You don't have to go inside, just stay nearby quietly. If anything is discovered, send a signal immediately. Remember, the opponent is extremely dangerous and has the calamity, do not confront directly!" Ban Cun man instructed.

With preparations complete, the villagers of Huangshan Village set off in a mighty group.

But soon, they were swallowed by the vast mountains.

In such mountainous terrain.

A team of less than a thousand is as tiny as dust.

But the terrain of Huangshan Village is treacherous.

Many places have no paths.

As long as the key pathways are guarded, it's impossible to not find Gu Yue.

Su Chen was right in his thinking.

Gu Yue was indeed seriously injured.

She couldn't escape the mountains at all.

After losing her pursuers, she barely ran another kilometer before collapsing into unconsciousness.

Fortunately, during her unconsciousness, she wasn't caught.

Gu Yue, with a bundle on her back, clutched her chest.

Her expression was heavy.

She must recover quickly.

Otherwise, she'd never make it out of these mountains.

If nothing unforeseen happens, Su Chen will surely seek help from the villagers of Huangshan Village.

In that case, facing the entire village's search, Gu Yue would undoubtedly be caught.

Seeing no other option, she had to take a risk.

Return to the cave!

It took her more than half an hour, staggering, to reach the vicinity of the cave.

She was ready to go towards the cave.

Suddenly, a foreboding feeling rose in her heart.

What if someone was waiting for her at the cave, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?

No, she couldn't risk it.

Gu Yue's intuition was right.

Indeed, someone was waiting for her near the cave.

Her decision saved her from disaster—temporarily.

But with her serious injuries, where could she go?

"Could it be, this time, I'll really die here?" Gu Yue lay behind a large tree, her gaze dim.

"Found her, she's over there!"

The villagers of Huangshan Village were so familiar with the mountains, they found Gu Yue in just a day.

Upon hearing the news, Su Chen and Ban Cun man hurried to where Gu Yue was.

Seeing Gu Yue completely unconscious, they exchanged a glance.

It seemed her injuries were more severe than they had anticipated.

Su Chen immediately went over to check her condition.

His face showed delight, "She's still breathing."

But suddenly he frowned.

Because he saw that Gu Yue's bundle had been opened, and there was no statue inside!
