She couldn’t collapse here; otherwise, she had no idea what that person would do to her. But she didn’t want to die either!
She quickly shoved a pill into her mouth, feeling the pain in her shoulder rapidly subside. She struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the man in the treehouse with the nauseating smile.
"Hmm?" Qi Xuefei’s eyelids twitched.
She noticed that behind the treehouse, in the blind spot of the man’s field of vision, two people were quickly approaching the treehouse.
She had video chatted with Li Wenxi before and knew what she looked like.
And the man running alongside her, was that Xu Xin?
Her heart immediately became anxious. She wanted to warn them not to step within a hundred-meter radius of this person; he had an incredibly high precision with his crossbow arrows! This was completely his territory!
But the two had already swiftly crossed the open hundred-meter area and arrived under the treehouse. Throughout the process, the man in the treehouse had not noticed at all.
Qi Xuefei’s eyelids twitched, and her heart was about to leap out.
These two were bold, weren’t they? Did they not see her situation just now!
"What, silent and unmoving? Have you given up resisting?" The man started taunting again, "I told you, if you give up resisting, take off that hard armor, throw your backpack far away, raise your hands, and wait for me to come over and bless you."
Under the treehouse, Li Wenxi made a gagging gesture, her brow furrowed, expressing her feelings towards the man: Disgusting!
Xu Xin glanced at her and mouthed, "Don’t make a sound!"
Keke waved her little paw.
Li Wenxi nodded, looking at Qi Xuefei, eyes filled with concern.
Just as Qi Xuefei was signaling them to quickly leave the area and then think of a plan, Xu Xin suddenly started signing to her.
After watching for a long time, she finally understood Xu Xin’s meaning.
He wants me to, follow the man’s request, take off the armor, throw away the backpack, and pretend to surrender?
Qi Xuefei’s eyes lit up.
With them here, as long as this man is lured down, they can immediately strike and subdue him!
Qi Xuefei took a deep breath and decided to follow Xu Xin’s plan.
She clutched her fully recovered shoulder, pretending it hurt terribly, took two steps forward, and shouted, "I surrender! I’ll do as you say! Don’t shoot with the heavy crossbow anymore!"
Saying this, she tossed her backpack a dozen meters away and started taking off the steel armor one by one.
The steel armor pieces fell to the ground, making metallic clashing sounds.
With all the steel armor removed, her Blue-grade leather armor underneath was revealed, showcasing her graceful figure completely.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
This was naturally not because of her figure but because her leather armor had slight blood stains soaking through on the shoulder, leg, and abdomen areas. It seemed that even wearing steel armor, the injuries she received were indeed not light. Thankfully, she seemed to have recovered now.
Despite suffering such injuries, she managed to endure it all without a sound. Truly resilient.
"Oh? It seems you’ve given up, huh? Come, raise your hands, and come closer so I can see!" The man’s voice upstairs was noticeably eager.
Following his words, Qi Xuefei raised her arms and slowly approached the treehouse.
"Yes, yes, closer. Wow, this figure, this face, I’ve really struck gold!"
Finally, the man upstairs couldn’t hold back and shrieked, "Oh gosh! Little beauty, I’m coming down!"
With that, the tree crown below opened, and a rather diminutive man wrapped in treehouse roots jumped down, his eyes fixed intently on Qi Xuefei with raised arms, directly lunging towards her!
"Now!" Xu Xin’s eyes flashed, swinging the long halberd in his hand at the airborne man!
