I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Xu Yuankai also nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must expose the mastermind behind this."

An Zhiyu's eyes were firm: "Don't be afraid, young lady. We will definitely protect you."

Zhang Chengyuan was very grateful and said, "Thank you very much, heroes. I will take you to get the treasure right away."

She pushed the bookshelf in front of the three people, and when the bookshelf moved away, a secret door was revealed. She opened the secret door and entered, followed by the three people.

Coming to the secret room, she opened a hidden box and took out a jade pendant emitting a mysterious glow.

This reminded the three of them of the treasure they had heard about at the beginning. Could this be it?

Then Zhang Chengyuan said, "This is what the man in black has always coveted."

Jiang Siyou carefully examined the jade pendant, but could not figure out what it was, so he asked, "We have heard that there is a strange light in the forest. Could it be this thing?"

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "It should be this. Some time ago, I thought that people in black often visited my house. I was afraid of being found by them, so I wanted to move to another place to hide. Who would have thought that I was attacked by the black-clad men and accidentally knocked over the box, causing the treasure to fall out.

I guess it was at that time that people saw the light. "

An Zhiyu nodded, and several people discussed how to lure the snake out of its hole. Finally, they decided to find someone to spread the news in the city that the treasure would be sold to someone else, and then they would ambush and wait for the opportunity to act.

As expected, the man in black appeared again a few days later.

The man in black said viciously: "Hand over the treasure quickly and I will spare your life!"

Zhang Chengyuan looked cautious and sneered, "If you want the treasure, you should at least let me know who it is."

Upon hearing this, the man in black snorted coldly: "Humph, you ignorant people, since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, the man in black waved his weapon and attacked everyone.

Xu Yuankai flew out and started a fierce fight with the man in black. His moves were fierce and each of his swords had the power to break the wind.

An Zhiyu was not to be outdone. She kept drawing her bow and shooting arrows in an attempt to disrupt the attack of the man in black.

Jiang Siyou was hiding quietly, trying to find the best opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the man in black.

The man in black fought one against three, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he became more courageous as the battle went on.

Zhang Chengyuan watched anxiously from the side, and suddenly she discovered that there seemed to be a flaw in the black-clad man's moves.

"Master Xu, attack his right side!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuankai immediately changed the momentum of his sword and stabbed towards the right side of the man in black. The man in black hurriedly dodged, but An Zhiyu seized the opportunity and shot an arrow straight into his right chest.

The man in black felt pain and his movements slowed down a little.

An Zhiyu took the opportunity to shoot several arrows in a row. Although the man in black tried his best to resist and dodge, he was still hit in the shoulder by one of the arrows.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and tried to escape.

Xu Yuankai flew forward, blocked the black-clothed man's path, and shouted, "Where are you going!"

The crowd surrounded the man in black again. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, a trace of determination flashed in the man's eyes, and he decided to fight to the death.

At this moment, more men in black suddenly rushed in from all around and surrounded the four people.

They subconsciously surrounded Zhang Chengyuan with their backs to each other. Jiang Siyou reminded them, "Be careful. If you are really defeated, take her away first and I will cover you."

Xu Yuankai and An Zhiyu didn't try to persuade him any further. They just nodded lightly to show that they understood.

Zhang Chengyuan would not let any of them go offline and lose a level. She moved closer to Jiang Siyou's back and whispered in his ear, "This is the antidote. Take it quickly. Give the other two to them. I will poison them later. Help me attract their attention and cover it up."

Jiang Siyou's nervous heart relaxed a little. He calmly stuffed the antidote into the hands of the two men, and the moment they looked over, he signaled them to take it.

He even challenged: "Where did you come from, you rat? Don't you dare to show your true face?" Jiang Siyou didn't get a response, but he was not discouraged. He continued to challenge: "Why, you dare not take responsibility for what you did? Are you afraid of us because you are hiding your head and showing your tail?"

As he spoke, he observed the movements of the man in black.

An Zhiyu pulled the bowstring to its full extent and challenged him: "If you have the guts, come out and fight us openly. It's nothing to use your numbers to bully the few."

Xu Yuankai held a sword in his hand. Although he didn't say anything, his provocative look was more stimulating than the two people who were provoking him.

At this time, a man in black finally lost his temper and shouted, "Don't be so arrogant!"

Jiang Siyou smiled and said, "You're finally willing to speak up? If you have the guts, don't hide!"

Just when the man in black was attracted, Zhang Chengyuan quietly released the poison.

Within two or three breaths, some of the men in black began to feel dizzy and their movements became slow.

A man in black exclaimed, "Oh no, it's poisonous!"

Jiang Siyou saw the right moment and shouted, "Do it!"

The two men immediately attacked the men in black. Jiang Siyou protected Zhang Chengyuan and observed the battlefield nervously.

An Zhiyu's arrows shot out like meteors, each one hitting a target accurately.

Xu Yuankai's swordsmanship is equally sharp, and every strike of his sword is deadly.

The man in black was gradually at a disadvantage due to the poisoning and the fierce attacks of the two men.

Someone among the men in black shouted, "Retreat!", and the remaining men in black began to flee in all directions.

How could Jiang Siyou and others let them go easily? They chased them all the way and killed many men in black.

Only after all the men in black were completely dead did they stop chasing, gasping for breath.

At this time, Zhang Chengyuan caught up from behind, looked at them gratefully and said, "I have finally avenged my great vengeance. I wonder if the three heroes can take me with them to travel the world of martial arts?"

At the same time, they received a system prompt: Congratulations on completing the herbalist girl mission and obtaining the herbalist girl's follower.

Jiang Siyou was full of surprise, but An Zhiyu and Xu Yuankai looked a little unhappy. Their friends had already had feelings for the herbalist, and now they were together. It would be difficult for them to separate from now on...

Zhang Chengyuan took out the jade pendant and said, "Three heroes, this treasure is for you."

Jiang Siyou waved his hands quickly: "Miss, this treasure originally belonged to your family, how can we accept it."

An Zhiyu also said: "Yes, young lady, we are not helping you for this treasure."

Xu Yuankai agreed, "Yes, we appreciate your kindness, but this is absolutely not allowed."

Zhang Chengyuan's eyes were slightly red: "If it weren't for the help of the three heroes, not only would I not be able to avenge my father, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save my life.

This treasure in my hands will only bring more disasters. I can't protect it, so I might as well give it to someone who is capable. You are the most suitable candidates."

Jiang Siyou took it and said, "Then we won't be polite."

After saying that, he handed the jade pendant to Xu Yuankai and took Zhang Chengyuan's hand to wipe her tears.

The moment Xu Yuankai got it, he received a system prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained a protective jade pendant that can make you immune to three fatal attacks.

He looked at Zhang Chengyuan in surprise, and then heard An Zhiyu ask him what this good thing was. He told her about the system prompt just now.

She couldn't help but say happily: "Brother Kai, isn't this equivalent to having three more lives?"
