She grew up on the Nameless Planet, where the environment was so harsh that even her teacher had to acknowledge it. Moreover, she lived there for so many years, constantly facing the ruthless beasts.

Just think, every day she had to hunt enough beasts for food. They were huge and ferocious creatures, and it was her daily task. Yet, in his eyes, she seemed so useless?

Yanran leaned against the wall, utterly bored. Pfft, this place was just too safe, without even a single enemy passing by. If only there was something to occupy her time.

Suddenly, a sentence her teacher once said popped into her mind.

Although Jiang Cheng and then had already entered the interior of the Black Exhaust Group Headquarters, since the mental mark Jiang Cheng left in Ba Lv's body hadn't moved, it caused him to worry that it might be a trap.

Therefore, he forced his female disciple to stay in a safe place while he went alone to the location of his mental coordinates.

This cave was worlds apart from its appearance. Inside a rather inconspicuous cave, there was such a large space.

Jiang Cheng estimated that even if the Black Exhaust people later expanded this cave, it was inherently large, astonishingly so.

Jiang Cheng didn't encounter many enemies along the way. His judgment was that the route he took probably led to an insignificant place, so he rarely met anyone familiar on this path.

However, this situation was evidently good for Jiang Cheng, as it reduced much trouble for him.

After walking through a long passage, a descending staircase appeared in front of him. Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate at all and proceeded down the stairs.

The staircase led entirely underground. Jiang Cheng estimated it went down at least four to five floors deep.

An enemy blocked his path: "Hey, this is no place for you to be, hurry up and leave!"

Jiang Cheng feigned confusion, rubbing his head and saying, "Yes, I know I shouldn't be here, but my superior insisted I come. You know, disobeying orders is an 'impossible' thing for us soldiers."

The person's attitude softened a bit, but he still didn't let Jiang Cheng pass: "What task did your superior give you?"

Jiang Cheng replied, "Oh, I met a cadre on the way. He asked me to run an errand and fetch a document for him, something about Harry Planet's intelligence."

The guy laughed mockingly: "You guys working outside probably get rained on a lot, water must have seeped into your brains, right?"

He rudely pushed Jiang Cheng's body, shoving him outside: "This is the prison area. How could the document you're looking for be here?"

"But if you want to taste being imprisoned, you can stay here, though I'm sure you wouldn't like it," he said.

Jiang Cheng pretended to be very scared, muttering curses at the nonexistent superior, as he headed back up.

Could Ba Lv really be imprisoned? Wasn't she an important figure in the Black Ant Group?

Could it be because she failed to complete the mission of killing him? Even if so, at most she would be punished, but never to the extent of imprisonment.

It seems necessary to investigate the reasons behind Ba Lv's detention.

Ye was not someone who would have a soft heart toward the enemy. On the contrary, he was truly ruthless.

In the long history of Huaxia Country, there are many examples that illustrate this truth.

During a certain historical period in Huaxia, there was a ruler who was quite familiar with someone. He knew that person would not be content to be subservient, yet he harbored no intent to kill him, even though his subordinates advised him to. He simply didn't want to.

The ruler said to that person, "Among the heroes of the world, it's just you and me."

He clearly knew that person would become his rival, contesting him for supremacy.

In the end, just as the ruler anticipated, that person also became a formidable power, continuously battling the ruler.

As this rival continually created trouble for the ruler, he regretted not eliminating him earlier.

Jiang Cheng certainly wouldn't entertain such thoughts. As long as someone was his enemy, he would use every possible force to swiftly eliminate them.

This was Jiang Cheng. He would harbor no illusions about his enemies.

Even now, while Ba Lv might be imprisoned, he wouldn't help her saying things like 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'

Although Ba Lv was locked up, there was no indication that she was on the same side as him. She hadn't shown any actions against the Black Exhaust Group.

In Jiang Cheng's eyes, Ba Lv was still an enemy, just an enemy currently in a cell.

However, from another point of view, capturing Ba Lv, controlling her, and making her comply with his demands could be worth a try. After all, she was a significant figure in the Black Exhaust Group. At the very least, she knew the layout of the area. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Jiang Cheng still remembered those branching paths they encountered at the entrance of the cave, which caused both him and Yanran headaches.

They couldn't explore each path one by one, could they?

Even if they managed to avoid alarming the enemies, or if they could eliminate every enemy they encountered, undoubtedly, it would waste a lot of time and increase Yanran's danger. Jiang Cheng would definitely not attempt such things.

However, if they captured Ba Lv, the situation would change.

At least in terms of being a guide, she would certainly be very qualified.

Initially, Jiang Cheng thought about capturing any enemy to guide him, but the situation he just encountered showed that capturing Ba Lv as a guide would be more effective.

Because some places, even among the people of Black Ant, are off-limits due to differences in status.

He had just been driven out for exactly this reason.

With this in mind, Jiang Cheng had found a direction for his next actions.

He turned around and walked back down the stairs.

The enemy he encountered earlier was quite surprised and even angry to see him return!

So he shouted at Jiang Cheng: "You bastard, didn't you understand what I just told you?"

It seemed this person's status was higher than the identity Jiang Cheng was pretending to be, so he cursed Jiang Cheng uninhibitedly, and even approached him, evidently planning to teach this worthless thing a lesson to improve his memory.

Jiang Cheng immediately put on a fawning smile, and his demeanor only increased the person's resolve to teach Jiang Cheng a lesson, because anyone could see how fake his smile was.

This was already the limit of what Jiang Cheng could manage, even though Jiang Cheng himself wasn't sure if he would show such a fawning smile to others.
