326 Capture the King First

At this moment, Shan Yue turned to look at the running militia with bloodthirsty eyes. There was no hesitation in her movements.

She lowered her head to dodge the slash and arrived behind the other party. She jumped up and clamped her legs on the militiaman’s head. She turned around and exerted a little force, followed by the sound of his neck breaking.

Pang Shuo, who was still standing at the side, recognized the grappling technique Shan Yue used. He had seen it on television by chance. Looking at Shan Yue’s practiced movements, Pang Shuo instantly understood that for whatever reason, the woman in front of him was not as weak as he thought. It was not an accident that she could defeat the first two people. It was just that she had been hiding her skills.

After thinking it through, Pang Shuo knew that he was definitely not Shan Yue’s match. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran into the forest. He knew that the militia were nearby and shouted for help as he ran, afraid that Shan Yue would follow and take his life.

Just as Shan Yue was about to chase after this culprit and end it, Zhou Xuan, who was leaning behind the tree, supported his dizzy head out and shouted softly, “Shan… Shan Yue.”

Faced with such a situation, Shan Yue could only give up on Pang Shuo and let him live for another night. She turned around and came to Zhou Xuan’s side. She held Zhou Xuan, who had fallen on top of her, with both hands. “How do you feel now? Why are you so stupid? You used your body to block it for me. Actually, I’ve always known that Pang Shuo wanted to ambush me from behind. I could have dodged that attack.”

“When I saw him, I already guessed his next move. After all, time was tight, so I didn’t think too much about it—”

Zhou Xuan stopped mid-sentence. Clearly, he had already lost consciousness. His legs went limp and he collapsed into Shan Yue’s arms.

In the silent night, Pang Shuo’s shouts were exceptionally loud. The hundred people nearby quickly gathered together, giving Pang Shuo the courage to face Shan Yue again.

“Brothers, capture the leader first. Zhou Xuan has already been severely injured by me and has no combat strength to speak of. There’s only a woman left by his side.”

Pang Shuo’s sonorous oath encouraged everyone. “As long as we capture Zhou Xian and Shan Yue, the two leaders, we’re not afraid that the rest won’t come out themselves.”

In these few seconds, Shan Yue had already imagined countless possibilities. If she continued to run with Zhou Xuan, the two of them would definitely not be fast. It would not be long before they were caught.

At that time, it would not be a problem for her to protect herself. However, with Zhou Xuan in a coma, he would definitely fall into Pang Shuo’s hands.

Instead of choosing such a slow death method, Shan Yue decided to take a gamble, except that the stakes were Zhou Xuan’s life. The benefits and risks coexisted. The greater the risk, the greater the benefits.

While Pang Shuo was escaping to find someone, Shan Yue gathered the few fallen villagers on the mountain road. She placed the fallen Zhou Xuan back into the pit and set up everything around the pit.

Then, Shan Yue deliberately left some footprints and bloodstains ahead, creating a situation where she fled with the seriously injured Zhou Xuan. After arranging everything, Shan Yue quickly returned to the pit and covered her head with weeds.

Pang Shuo had discovered the two of them here the first time. When he brought people back here the second time, according to normal thinking, he must have thought that the two of them had continued to escape, so it was impossible for him to investigate the situation in the pit again.

Shan Yue was using the habitual thinking of such people to try to blind Pang Shuo. If she succeeded, the two of them could continue to fight for time to live, but if they were discovered, Zhou Xuan would definitely die.

When it calmed down, Shan Yue was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she had not sent a message to Ye Ying to call for help. Just as she was about to send a message, she was interrupted.

Shan Yue quickly took out her phone and saw that it showed two percent battery. There was no time for her to waste. She opened the chat interface of Ye Ying and sent a location. There were only two words below: Rescue quickly.

Coincidentally, the moment the message was sent, the phone turned off automatically because it ran out of battery.
