"Speak! Where did you get all these wildmen from!"

Yang Cheng strode over and stomped on the ugly man’s chest.

"They were just villagers passing by, or those who came to collect herbs in the mountains. Once poisoned, they turned into wildmen."

He was full of fear, and a puddle of urine unexpectedly formed underneath him.

Smelling the stench, Yang Cheng looked disgusted and cursed, "Bastard, how many people have you killed? You deserve to die!"

"Please... please don’t kill me. I know I was wrong. Spare me this time."

The ugly man’s body trembled uncontrollably, pleading mournfully.

Clearly crocodile tears, Yang Cheng wouldn’t soften at all. He turned to Da Shan and said, "Do it yourself. Kill the real culprit who murdered your brother."

Da Shan looked grateful, picked up a dagger, and walked toward the ugly man, ready to strike, when footsteps sounded outside.

The two exchanged glances; Yang Cheng kicked the man’s neck until it snapped, then dragged him to the pile of hay, disguising him as if asleep.

As for the wildmen, completely controlled, without the owner’s orders, they stayed blankly in the corner.

"Hide first, see who they are."

Yang Cheng whispered, hiding with Da Shan in the shadows of the corner.

They had just hidden when several people entered from the mouth of the valley.

A familiar fragrance spread, causing Yang Cheng’s heart to tremble; the scent seemed familiar, like that of Kong Lingwen.

He immediately activated the X-ray Vision; the wall slowly turned transparent, revealing a few men tossing Kong Lingwen and Ni Qingyao into the hay pile; the old man was thrown onto the hard ground.

Didn’t expect while hunting wildmen, the enemy had accomplices who captured Kong Lingwen and the others.

Yang Cheng’s expression was grim, as they were in the enemy’s hands; fearing they would act recklessly, they couldn’t move rashly.

The leading man, full of scars, said maliciously.

"Damn it! I’ll roast whoever killed my wildmen the moment I catch him!"

He glanced around the cave, kicked the already lifeless ugly man, cursing, "You were supposed to watch the place, sleeping like a dead pig!"

"Boss, you think we’ll have someone coming after us for capturing these two beauties?"

A nearby man with a monkey-like face asked softly, eyes filled with fear.

They had occupied this area for many years; it was the first time so many wildmen had died, and their deaths were tragic, indicating the enemy was ruthless.

"We want them to come, where else am I going to get revenge!"

The scar-faced man sneered, eyes full of disdain.

At this moment, Kong Lingwen’s eyelids fluttered on the ground, showing signs of waking up. Even in this dim cave, her stunning figure and face were dazzling.

The men all stared at Kong Lingwen and Ni Qingyao, their curvaceous bodies making them drool.

Kong Lingwen’s abundant chest tightly filled her clothes, her slender waist was a handful, and her long, straight legs paired with Ni Qingyao’s mature allure and fair skin were captivating.

"Boss, these two women are gorgeous. Once you’re done, can the brothers have a taste? I’ve never seen such beautiful women in this life! Like fairy maidens!"

The skinny monkey’s eyes glowed, imagining pressing such exquisite women beneath him and ravaging them; just thinking felt ecstatic.

"Luckily, there are two women. I’ll take the younger one; the rest of you can play with the other!"

The scar-faced man chuckled, generously offering one.

"Their jewelry looks valuable. Later, take them off and sell them; we can live carefree in the mountains for a while."

"Boss, you’re smart!"

They praised him repeatedly, already fantasizing about the days of sleeping with women and feasting.

"What about the old man? Should we turn him into a wildman too?"

The skinny monkey pointed at Old Man Pan lying on the ground.

"Our drugs need to be sold; wasting them on such an old guy is pointless. Let’s leave him in the cave as feed for the wildmen."

They had done this many times; those bitten by wildmen only faced being eaten. A complete body had a chance of being made into a wildman.

"I see."

Yang Cheng’s eyes darkened, realizing these bastards poisoned passersby, turning them into mindless, controlled wildmen.

Lured by wildmen, they killed passersby. If alive, they remained wildmen; dead, they were eaten.

Their ultimate goal was not just looting passersby, but mainly creating manipulative drugs.

They had secretly done this for years in remote, secluded woods, escaping detection because of the isolated location and even if investigated, it was assumed wildmen were behind it, not realizing manipulation was involved.

When Hu Zi was found dead, it seemed this group received news and captured Kong Lingwen and the others.

Several subordinates approached Kong Lingwen and Ni Qingyao, stripping them of bracelets and necklaces.

Both felt unfamiliar vibes, awoke slowly, shocked by the strangers before them.

"Oh! Awake! Truly beautiful, your skin’s as tender as tofu."

The scar-faced guy couldn’t resist touching Kong Lingwen’s face; she turned away instantly, showing disgust.

"Still look down on me, huh? I’ve slept with many women over the years, but never ones as beautiful as you. Now that you’re in my hands, I’ll make you beg for death!"

Hearing this, Ni Qingyao began trembling with fear, tears forming.

Kong Lingwen, more experienced with such situations, spoke calmly, "Release us; name your price."

"Whoa, caught a big fish today! Seems you’re rich. So, how much can you offer?"

The scar-faced man was intrigued, face filled with greed.

"Five million." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

While not much for Kong Lingwen, it was a reasonable sum.

"Five million!"

The men exclaimed, faces showing delight.

"Boss, this woman’s truly wealthy, throwing out five million like nothing, enough to keep us busy for years."

"Indeed! Selling drugs is risky, but getting five million, we don’t need to work as hard."

The sum tempted the subordinates, anticipatingly looking at the scar-faced man.
