Originally, Li Yinuo planned to talk to Qing Huai about joining forces to kill the Kamishiro Family.

But the sudden suspicion made her fall silent.

Moreover, ever since Li Shutong appeared in the wilderness, the marriage alliance between the gods of destruction has no longer been her focus.

Now, all of Li Yinuo's thoughts have turned to Li Shutong and Qing Chen.

Qing Chen once speculated that Li Yinuo might have come to the wilderness on Li Shutong's orders, but that was not the case.

To be honest, Li Yinuo was also a little flattered. She knew that Uncle Qi always did things with a purpose. The reason why Uncle Qi brought the boy to her was actually to let her get to know the boy so that the boy could come to her if he needed anything in the future.

For Li Yinuo, the fact that someone like Li Shutong could trust her was something to be proud of.

She wondered if the boy had already completed the Knight's Life and Death Trial, and fantasized that if she got closer to Qing Chen, she might be able to ask him to speak to Li Shutong and let her try the Knight's path as well...

Even so, it won't work. If Li Shutong could accept Wang Xiaojiu as his disciple on behalf of his master, then can Qing Chen also accept disciples on behalf of his master...?

To Li Yinuo, compared to this, what did the matter of the Kamishiro Family matter matter?!

At this moment, the two members of the Kamishiro Family were still with the Autumn Hunting Team. After everyone had finished taking care of their physiological needs, Kamishiro Ori looked at Qing Huai with sparkling eyes.

"Father, is this Qing Huai?" Kamishiro Ori looked at Qing Huai's sculpted face and thought about his current demeanor.

While other spoiled brats had to hold their bladders, this guy strolled leisurely in Forbidden Zone, accompanied by more than twenty loyal subordinates...

I must say, Qing Huai's sealed bag came at just the right time.

Two days ago, the Autumn Hunting Team still had oil drums to use, but the problem is that there were too many of them, and yesterday they filled the oil drums with urine.

Next, Li Yinuo ordered everyone not to drink water, which made everyone extremely tired.

At this moment, Kamishiro Ori would naturally feel that Qing Huai is the best.

The woods were noisy, as the tense nerves of the spoiled young men finally relaxed a bit after meeting up with Qing Huai.

Everyone shared their joy at surviving the ordeal, as if they had already been saved.

However, at that moment, Wang Bingxu, the highest-ranking official, suddenly asked in surprise, "Hey, why has the sound of the soldiers digging holes in the woods stopped? Those people in the woods, say something!"

However, the soldiers who were supposed to be digging a landfill pit in the woods did not answer.

Everyone became alert!

Li Yinuo slowly walked towards the woods beside her, while Wang Bingxu followed closely by her side.

The two men arrived at the edge of the pit and froze. The pit had been dug, but the two soldiers were nowhere to be seen!

"Miss Yinuo, there's a smell of blood," Wang Bingxu said calmly.

Li Yinuo nodded. "They are probably already dead."

Their voices came from the woods.

Everyone in the Autumn Hunting Team changed their expressions and involuntarily huddled together, forming a circle as they cautiously observed the Forbidden Zone was gradually being shrouded in darkness.

In the woods, Li Yinuo showed no fear. She carefully examined the ground and was shocked to find strange bloodstains on it.

The trail of blood stretched into the woods, leading straight into darkness.

Li Yinuo squatted beside the landfill pit, staring at the ground. "That's strange. Two people were killed at the same time, and we were only tens of meters apart, yet we didn't hear a sound. Did we trigger some kind of Forbidden Zone rule?"

Qing Huai then approached and said to Wang Bingxu, "The Forbidden Zone is extremely dangerous, with ferocious beasts and plants lurking everywhere. Could you please ask Mr. Wang to go into the woods and check for the two soldiers?"

Wang Bingxu thought for a moment and replied, "It is possible, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Yinuo, who was squatting beside the landfill, crushed a leaf.

She clapped her hands, stood up, and grabbed the arm of the B-Class expert. She said to Qing Huai, "The Forbidden Zone is too dangerous. Two soldiers are nothing. It would be better for Wang Bingxu to stay in the team and protect more people."

After saying that, Li Yinuo said to Nan Gengchen in the crowd, "Baby, from now on you will stay next to Wang Bingxu, he will protect you."

Nan Gengchen sighed and resignedly replied, "Oh, okay."

Wang Bingxu sensed the hidden meaning in Li Yinuo's words. He glanced silently at Qing Huai, knowing that his young mistress did not trust Qing Huai.

Therefore, the middle-aged man no longer intended to enter the woods to pursue the murderer, but instead stayed firmly by the side of the four people.

Li Yinuo, Nan Gengchen, Xiao Gong, and another person who was none other than Zhou Xuan, the Time Walker who chose to seduce Kaiju.

Qing Huai frowned as he watched this scene. He suddenly roared, "Seventh Platoon Leader, assemble everyone! Take a headcount!"

However, everyone soon discovered that the team, which should have consisted of 22 soldiers, now had only 18 men left.

Everyone secretly cried out in alarm; it wasn't just two people who were missing, but four!

Li Yinuo, Qing Huai, and Wang Bingxu went to inspect the landfill pits one by one, only to find that there was another landfill pit that was exactly the same as the one they had just inspected.

There were bloodstains around the pit, but the soldiers next to the pit had disappeared!

A chill suddenly ran through Qing Huai's heart; the two men who had been mistaken for deserters probably hadn't actually run away after all...

The boy who wanted to kill him has caught up!

The other party killed more than a hundred of his subordinates, then killed Cao Wei, and now they are chasing after him to kill him again!

Just now, while the spoiled brats were making a ruckus, the other side actually killed four more people right under their noses!

This was a strategy that the other side had planned long ago, and it was incredibly efficient!

But the question is, what gives them the right to kill someone in Forbidden Zone No. 002?

Doesn't this Forbidden Zone have a rule that "you can't kill people"?

Or perhaps, those soldiers who were dragged away are not dead yet?

Moreover, the other party is just an ordinary person, how did he suddenly possess the strength to crush soldiers?

Wait a minute, Qing Huai suddenly realized something. There just happens to be a place in this Forbidden Zone No. 002 where one can improve their strength!

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Li Yinuo calmly observed everyone; at this moment, she was probably the only one who knew the truth.

The fallen leaf she had just crushed beside the landfill was an Autumn Leaf Blade embedded in the soil.

The boy deliberately nailed the Autumn Leaf Blade to the side of the pit, which was actually a way of revealing his identity and implying that he would work with someone from the inside to kill Qing Huai.

Now, she finally understood why Qing Huai's field company had suffered casualties.

The other party failed to complete the mission at all; they were forced to abandon it!

Li Yinuo thought to herself: I thought the other party looked harmless and not very strong, but in the blink of an eye, that boy almost killed everyone in Qing Huai!

However, she was curious about what the boy wanted to do now.
