"Pah!"
A slap landed heavily on Xiao Jing's face.
The man's fist was very hard, almost knocking Xiao Jing unconscious.
She shook her head, her ears ringing.
"Tie them all up."
The man coldly said to the three captives.
"Gu gu gu gu."
The forest finally regained its tranquility at dawn. Little birds quietly landed on the treetops, enjoying the sunlight.
Xiao Jing and the others were pushed into the water prison. The water that reached their waists hits them rapidly.
"You were also captured?"
A familiar voice came from the corner, and the light passed by carefully.
Lin Qi patrolled them one by one. Without a doubt, all of them were captured, including some of the patrolling soldiers.
"I really fcking have a fire burning in my heart. I was captured the moment I came in. If these people want to kill me, then just kill us. What's the point of locking us up like this?"
Zhao Huiran's hands were handcuffed with iron chains, and his every movement was accompanied by a loud and unpleasant tinkling sound.
Lin Qi looked up through the crack in the wood and said cautiously, "They probably want to use us as hostages. If they want to occupy this place, they have to have a bargaining chip in their hands."
"You mean they won't kill us and want to keep us trapped?"
Jiang Shi asked again.
"I'm afraid they won't keep us for long. When they find a better bargaining chip, we prisoners won't be of any use."
Lin Qi frowned. "We have to think of a way to leave this place."
"This is their lair, how are we supposed to escape with our lives intact?"
One of the patrolling soldiers asked anxiously. He was only about 18 years old, and his young face seemed to be experiencing such a battlefield for the first time. His entire body was filled with fear and terror.
"Don't worry, there will be people coming to our rescue."
Lin Qi patted his shoulder.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for that day."
Leaning against the wooden stake, Jiang Shi's eyes were somewhat unfocused. It should be the sequelae of excessive blood loss.
"Get the two of them out of here."
The man stood on the water prison, his fingertips landing on Xiao Jing and Lin Qi's body.
Two men jumped into the water and opened the water prison, throwing out the two people who were called out.
"You sure have guts."
The smile on the man's face suddenly disappeared. He grabbed Xiao Jing's neck with one hand, baring his teeth as he said, "You've killed quite a few of our men. I've truly underestimated the strength of Flower Country."
Xiao Jing was chained to her body and was unable to move. She could only allow her opponent to gradually increase her strength, and her eyes began to turn white.
"Let him go."
Lin Qi suddenly jumped up, using his body as a weapon to charge over.
The man raised his hand to block and grabbed Lin Qi's arm, throwing him heavily onto the ground with a shoulder throw.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Lin Qi laid on the ground, his chest firmly stepped on by the other party.
The man smiled mockingly and leaned forward, saying coldly, "Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."
Xiao Jing got her breath and panted as she watched them hang Lin Qi. She said in panic, "What are you guys trying to do?"
Lin Qi struggled in the air for a while, then was suddenly splashed with liquid. His expression turned cold. Was this kerosene?
Xiao Jing could smell the increasingly strong smell of burning oil in the air. Just a moment ago, she was thrown to the ground by the enemy.
"Ha hha, party, let's begin."
The drums were drumming loudly, and a group of soldiers were twisting their bodies, seemingly celebrating something.
The man took out a cigarette and lit it up quietly. He blew out a cloud of smoke and looked at the flame on his finger with a smile.
The next moment, he threw out the lighter in his hand.
Xiao Jing leaped up, her hands and feet bound. She could only use her body to block.
The lighter caught her in the face, and sparks burned one of her eyebrows.
"Clang!"
The lighter fell to the floor.
The smile on the man's face suddenly froze. He lifted his leg and kicked, directly pushing Xiao Jing's frail body into the water.
"BOOM!"
The water splashed onto Xiao Jing's head. At the moment when she was drowning, she almost fainted.
She struggled in the water for a bit. She was about to surface, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a figure moving in and out from the distance.
On the shore, the man was suspicious. He waved at the people behind him, "Shoot."
"Gulu."
Xiao Jing couldn't hold it in any longer. Bullet after bullet flew past her body, making her want to leave.
The figure approached from a distance, the familiar face, the unsmiling features. As soon as he approached the water around him, it began to boil.
