“We can really spare your lives, and I need you to lead the way right now so we can see the details.”
After saying these words, the smile in his friend's eyes deepened. When the two people saw this, their faces turned pale instantly, completely devoid of color.
Seeing this, Xia Yan and his friend exchanged glances, a hint of curiosity flashing in their eyes. However, the two people in front of them remained stubbornly adamant, then addressed Xia Yan and his friend:
"Heh, I'm telling you, you shouldn't waste your time anymore. We know you won't let us go, and we have no intention of going back. Besides, we absolutely will not agree to your request to lead the way. Because traitors are cursed when they go back, and we absolutely cannot bear that curse. We'd rather die here."
After saying these words, the determination in the eyes of the two people gradually deepened. Seeing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He really did not expect that these two people would be so stubborn.
However, Xia Yan had his own methods. In this way, Xia Yan could only obtain some other clues from these two people. As for having those two people lead the way to investigate, that was absolutely impossible. After learning about these clues, a deep meaning flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and then he glanced at his friend.
Xia Yan felt that now that he had obtained the clues he wanted, he did not intend to linger here. He could simply go and check it out with his friend. However, he did not expect that screams would come from the place where they were hiding.
Realizing this, a hint of worry flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he hurriedly ran towards the place where the two people in front of him were hiding, without caring about the two people in front of him.
The vigilance in his friend's eyes was also gradually increasing. He thought that Chika, Ram, and the guide had encountered some emergency. However, to his surprise, when he and Xia Yan arrived at the place, they found Chika, Ram, and the guide lying on the ground, looking very painful, struggling and flailing their arms.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan frowned deeply. He knew that the situation of Qian Hua and Ram, as well as the guide beside them, was getting worse and worse. Realizing this, the worry in his eyes deepened. After all, Qian Hua and Ram were his companions who had always been with him, and he didn't want anything to happen to them.
Xia Yan's friend, who was standing nearby, naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts. He sighed softly and patted Xia Yan's shoulder, but he didn't know what to do. However, a shadow crossed Xia Yan's eyes, and he went straight to the two people.
Upon seeing this scene, the two captured men frowned slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes. They could now fully sense the murderous aura emanating from Xia Yan. They instinctively took a step back, but being bound, their freedom was completely restricted.
Seeing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Chapter 511 Inquiry
Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged glances, a hint of unease flashing in their eyes. They were also unsure of the situation. Seeing this, Xia Yan's anxiety deepened. He didn't want anything to happen to his good friend here, so he glared fiercely at the two men and said to them again:
"Do you two even know any way to save them? Tell me now, or don't blame me for being impolite. You should know what kind of methods we use."
After saying these words, a hint of anger flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. These two people certainly knew what it meant to be a wise man to yield to circumstances.
But for them, they really didn't know what to do. Realizing this, they couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly said to Xia Yan in front of them:
"It's no use for you to pressure us here, because we have no idea how to do it. Besides, it's said that a cursed person can't be lifted unless they die."
"Yes, yes, this whole thing happened because you went into the valley. Don't you know that? It's a miracle you two are alright now, but you're still pressuring us. We won't tell you anything about what happened over there, or we'll be cursed too, and the suffering we'll endure will be even worse than theirs."
Upon hearing these words, a shadow crossed Xia Yan's eyes, and a strange look also flashed in the eyes of his friend on the other side. Although they had found some clues, they could only stay here to take care of Qian Hua Ram and the guide for their comfort. At first, their condition was deteriorating, but it was not life-threatening. However, for some reason, the guide's condition deteriorated first on this day.
The guide couldn't eat; not only that, he would vomit no matter what he ate. Seeing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Although he hadn't spent much time with this guide, he knew he wasn't a bad person. Besides, he was capable of anything for his family. Realizing this, he sighed, his eyes deepening with difficulty. He glanced at his friend and then said:
"No, we can't go on like this. If we do, their health will suffer, and then none of us will be able to leave this place. Besides, even though we're far away from that town now, the residents there definitely want us to stay away from them. We've already interrogated those two people, but they don't know anything about how to do it. Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
After saying these words, Xia Yan's anxiety deepened. His friend, naturally understanding his thoughts, sighed softly, patted his shoulder, and then said to him:
"I don't know anything about this. Although I've been here before, I'm not familiar with this place at all. Moreover, you can see that their situation is gradually deteriorating, but there were two days when there were signs of improvement."
Chapter 512 The Situation is Serious
Moreover, the leader's situation is the most serious; if things continue like this, he won't be able to hold on for many more days.
A hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. They could only calculate the problem based on the worst-case scenario. The guide couldn't eat, so they could only make some porridge to feed him. But what he didn't expect was that a few days later, Qianhua and Ram's health began to deteriorate.
At first, Xia Yan didn't notice, but on this day, Chika suddenly fainted. Seeing this, the worry in Xia Yan's eyes gradually deepened.
Not only that, but the matter of Chika and Ram caught Natsuhiko and his friend completely off guard. They had no way to deal with it. Seeing the three of them slowly turning pale, Natsuhiko couldn't help but worry. He frowned. He could stay still, but they were helpless. Realizing this, Natsuhiko sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and then went to the two of them.
The two men who had been caught exchanged glances and frowned angrily upon seeing the scene. They were also very puzzled as to why Xia Yan had summoned them.
However, they also remained silent, and they would never reveal what was going on there. Seeing this, a shadow crossed Xia Yan's eyes. For him, if it weren't for these people, his good friend wouldn't have ended up like this.
Realizing this, he sighed softly, then tried to compose himself before saying:
“You said you two had no way to help them, and I believed you. Now I’m asking you, what exactly happened to my two friends? Why did they become like this, and why is their condition getting worse? You should know, since you’re on that side too.”
Upon hearing this, the two men being held frowned even more deeply, because they didn't know that although they were from that side, they were only the outermost layer of personnel, and how could they possibly have access to core secrets?
Realizing this, they sighed softly. Although they wanted to reveal a series of things to extricate themselves, they were also very clear in their hearts that if they exposed the secrets of that place now, they wouldn't live long after they returned. The power of the curse was something that the two of them could not withstand.
Realizing this, they sighed softly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces, before turning to Xia Yan beside them and saying:
"I say you really overestimate the two of us. How could we possibly know about this? Besides, they were cursed, and we don't even know what a curse is."
Upon hearing these words, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply, and the anxiety in his eyes gradually deepened. He had no idea how to resolve this situation.
However, Xia Yan did not give up. In his opinion, since these two people were connected to that side, they must know a series of secrets. So Xia Yan asked them again, but to his surprise, the two people could not say anything. Xia Yan now understood that the two people did not know anything about this matter.
Chapter 513 The Core Secret
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan frowned deeply. He hadn't expected that the two people he had captured would be so unaware of such a small matter. Realizing this, he glared at the two men. A hint of panic flashed in their eyes. Now, they felt that they had also fallen into Xia Yan's hands.
Realizing this, the two subconsciously took a step back, glanced at Xia Yan beside them, and then both said:
"There's nothing we can do just by looking at you like this, because we have no idea what happened. Besides, you entered that valley because you accidentally touched something and were cursed. How could we possibly know about that?"
"Yeah, yeah, you guys don't even think about it properly. We're just people on the periphery, how could we possibly know such a core secret? You really overestimate us."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's helplessness deepened. He glanced at his friend, whose eyes also showed a hint of worry. He knew very well that Qian Hua Ram and the guide were in dire straits. If they continued to delay like this, the three of them might be in mortal danger.
Realizing this, his friend sighed softly, and then he heard Xia Yan say to him from the side:
“We can’t afford to delay any longer. If we do, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us. In that case, let’s go check the situation. You stay here and take good care of the three of them. I’ll go to that place as those two people suggested, check the situation, and then find someone to rescue them.”
Upon hearing this, his friend on the other side frowned slightly. He felt there was still a risk involved, and he was worried about Xia Yan's safety, especially since Qian Hua and Ram were very concerned about him. Realizing this, he sighed softly, a determined glint in his eyes, and then continued:
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
"No, you can't go. I'll go instead. You stay here and take good care of Qianhua and Ram. After all, they came with you. If something happens to them, you can handle it. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have your ability. Besides, if they can't see you after they wake up, they'll definitely worry about you."
....... 0 0
Hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but he remained resolute in his heart. Moreover, he didn't want his friend to get hurt. However, his friend seemed to understand Xia Yan's mind and insisted on switching places with him. Seeing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he sighed. Finally, he said to his friend:
“Let me tell you, I have to go on this mission. You said before that if everyone goes, and something unexpected happens, you might not come back. So, I'll go,” Fan said.
Chapter 514 Children
After a pause, he continued, "I'm more agile and in better health than you. You stay here and take good care of the three of them. If you explain things clearly to Qianhua Ram, they definitely won't worry."
After saying these words, Xia Yan, who was standing to the other side, looked at his friend with a very serious expression, and then said to him again:
"And let me tell you, their current situation is very serious. You should take good care of them. Maybe before they recover, I will have already brought them here. At that time, we can't tell anyone about this."
Hearing these words, the helplessness in his friend's eyes deepened. He hadn't expected Xia Yan to say such a thing. He had wanted to insist a little longer, but when he saw Xia Yan's determined expression, he sighed softly, and the helplessness in his eyes deepened.
After discussing it with his friend, Xia Yan decided to go first. He had already interrogated the two people he had captured, and Xia Yan went directly there based on the directions they gave him.
However, to Xia Yan's surprise, when he arrived there, he found that the place was already deserted. Upon realizing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because he knew very well that he had come here to find someone to rescue Qianhua and Ramu.
Moreover, if they were to seek help from other people, they might not be able to cure the illness. Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. However, Xia Yan did not give up. He carefully examined the place and found that although these people had long since disappeared, they had left some traces.
Xia Yan carefully followed these traces and eventually discovered a series of clues. He found that one of their children was missing.
Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, while a hint of wariness flickered in the child's. He had never seen anyone like Xia Yan before, and in his eyes, Xia Yan seemed like a bad person. Xia Yan seemed to understand the wariness in the child's eyes, sighed softly, and then said to him:
"It's alright, it's alright, just relax. I'm not a bad person, and besides, you should know that perfectly well enough... In that group you're in, do they have some secrets?"
After hearing these words, the child's vigilance deepened, and he subconsciously took a step back. In the child's eyes, their organization was a very mysterious one, but he did not expect that Xia Yan would know about this. After seeing this scene, he naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts, sighed softly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
.9 If he had another choice, Xia Yancai wouldn't want to waste his breath arguing with this child, but he also wanted to ask if the child knew what Qianhua and Ram had, why their illness was getting worse and worse, and why they were now almost dead.
Realizing this, Xia Yan softened his expression and his tone became gentler. He then glanced at the child beside him.
Chapter 515 That Child
Upon hearing this, the child standing nearby felt a flicker of wariness in his eyes. He didn't understand what Xia Yan meant by asking him those questions, but Xia Yan didn't seem like a good person to him. Xia Yan seemed to sense his thoughts, sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and then said to him:
"I'm not a bad person. I'm asking you this question because I have two friends who also have this disease. I've consulted many doctors, but none of them can cure them. Now that I've finally met you, can you help me cure them?"
After saying these words, a pleading look even flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. When the child learned about this, the hesitation in his eyes was also slowly deepening, because according to their rules, they would not do this. However, he saw that Xia Yan's expression was very sincere and that there was a trace of purity in his eyes. Finally, after learning about this, the child nodded directly to Xia Yan in front of him.
Seeing this, a smile slowly crept onto Xia Yan's lips. Without wasting any more time, he took the child home. Xia Yan's friend frowned slightly upon seeing the child, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. But before he could ask anything, he heard Xia Yan say to him from the other side:
"When I arrived at that place, everyone had already left. However, I found that one of their children was missing. This child knew what kind of illness Qianhua, Ram, and the guide had. I believed he could cure them."
A look of shock flashed in his friend's eyes, because he simply couldn't believe that such a small child could cure such a difficult illness. Even after realizing this, he still harbored his doubts. However, the child on the other side seemed to ignore his friend's gaze and went straight to Chika and Ram.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's understanding of the situation gradually increased. After all, he believed that this child was one of the group of people and was definitely in danger. Realizing this, he did not waste any more time and stayed by the side to help. Whatever the child wanted, Xia Yan would immediately hand it to him.
In fact, the child in front of him knew nothing. He only decided to help Xia Yan because he saw how good Xia Yan was to his friends. In this way, without knowing anything, the child helped Qian Hua and Ram cure their illnesses.
After resting for a few days, Qianhua and Ram fully recovered. Seeing this, Xia Yan was very happy. Not only that, he was also very grateful to the child in front of him, because he knew very well that if they followed the rules, the child would never help them with treatment, but the child was still pure and kind at heart.
Realizing this, Xia Yan went directly to the child and said to him:
"Thank you so much, thank you so much! I really don't know what I would have done without you. Thank you for saving my friend. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I will do my best to help you."
Chapter 516 Leader
The child was a man of few words, but after hearing these words, a rare smile appeared on his lips. Xia Yan and the others couldn't bear to leave the child alone, so they took him with them. Meanwhile, on the other side...
Although the group that had been chasing Xia Yan and his friend quickly retreated, they discovered that a child was missing during their journey. Upon realizing this, the leader of the group frowned deeply, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, because in his view, even a child was one of them.
Although they had committed a series of evil deeds, they would not abandon their sense of kinship. At this point, his expression became even more serious, and he looked at the others present before continuing to speak to them:
"What are you all doing? You don't even know a child is lost. What's the point of me supporting you? Hurry up and look for him!"
Upon hearing this, the others present dared not waste any more time and began searching for the child. Meanwhile, Xia Yan, on the other side, also noticed the presence of others. Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, because in Xia Yan's view, they were unfamiliar with the area.
There was still a group of people chasing them, and they could only hide from them. Realizing this, his expression turned serious. His friend, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed Xia Yan's thoughts and sighed softly. He came to his side, but before he could speak, Xia Yan said to him very seriously:
“The situation is probably not as good as we thought. Moreover, I am worried that those people have already discovered that the child is missing. If they search around and find our whereabouts, they may very well send us on another mission. In that case, we might as well take Qianhua Ram and the others and prepare to evacuate.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in his friend's eyes, because in his opinion, it was not a good place to stay for long. Realizing this, he nodded directly to Xia Yan, who did not hide this matter from Qianhua Ram and the others.
Everyone was shocked when they learned of this, but a hint of melancholy flashed in the eyes of the guide. He wasn't originally one of Xia Yan's people; he just wanted to go home to see his family. Realizing this, the determination in his eyes deepened, and he immediately went to Xia Yan and said:
"I know what you want to do now, but all I want to do right now is go home. Besides, my family is still in that small town, and I can't just abandon them. So you go your way, and I'll go back to that small town."
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in the eyes of his friend on the other side, because he was worried that if the group that caught up with them found out the identity of this guide, then the guide's situation would be very dangerous. Xia Yan on the other side also hesitated for a moment, but he did not stop them.
Because Xia Yan had seen the guide, he realized that the guide wasn't one of them; he ultimately belonged to the small town.
Chapter 5142787 Leaving
Xia Yan did not stop them, because in his opinion, the guide in front of them was not their companion, and besides, the guide's family was still in that small town, so he was unwilling to follow them wholeheartedly.
More importantly, their large group would definitely attract attention, especially since there was a child in their group. Realizing this, he sighed softly, his helplessness deepening. However, he also knew that the guide was only doing this for money, which was why he was taking them to such a dangerous place.
Not only that, but 700 also contracted a disease. Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. He then gave the guide some necessities and some money, and said to him:
"I have a feeling that it won't be easy for you to go back this time. Besides, you probably know very well that someone has already recognized you, so you must be careful and take good care of yourself."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of emotion flashed in the guide's eyes. He knew that Xia Yan and the others were good people, but he also understood that Xia Yan was doing it for his own good. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then nodded to Xia Yan in front of him.
