Qiao Rou was amused by her, "You’re just good at sweet-talking. That person isn’t that important, how could it be such a big achievent?"
"That’s not quite right. If Young Master Jiang took action, the person caught is definitely not just any insignificant figure."
Once the topic opened up, it beca much easier to draw out more information.
Xia Yi was extrely cautious and sharp. Previously, Qiao Rou’s status wasn’t high, so very few people tried to flatter or please her. Now, Xia Yi’s every word hit Qiao Rou’s sweet spot, and she quickly got her to spill quite a bit.
After two quarter-hours, Xia Yi left Qiao Rou’s room, satisfied.
Once she stepped out, she slightly lowered her head, feigning a timid deanor, and tried to move forward as inconspicuously as possible.
She had already found out from Qiao Rou where Head Escort ng was being held, but given her current status and situation, it wasn’t suitable for her to rescue him alone.
She still had to find ng Yunzheng and Shu Yu first to discuss how to carry out the rescue.
However, at this mont, it was unclear where the two of them were, and it wouldn’t be easy to et them in this vast black market.
Xia Yi thought it over and could only go to their agreed eting place and wait.
Unfortunately, there were still two quarter-hours before the appointed ti.
Just as Xia Yi was preparing to head over, she suddenly heard terrified screams near her ears.
The sounds were mixed with raised shouts, so harsh they almost hurt her eardrums.
She abruptly lifted her head, her face changing in shock as she took several steps back. The scene reflected in her eyes made her gasp.
"Roar..."
The scene in front of her was bloody and brutal. Tigers, wolves, lions, bears, and other wild beasts, which should have been locked in cages, were rampaging through the hall unhindered, viciously attacking people in the black market as if starving, opening their mouths to tear into flesh.
Xia Yi widened her eyes, not understanding why the beasts from the Beast Camp had all suddenly escaped.
There weren’t many people guarding the black market to begin with, and there were even fewer who were skilled. Those who were strong and ard with martial skills had long been sent out to pretend as mountain bandits in preparation for combat.
Among those left, anyone with so martial arts knowledge stayed close to the leaders and stewards; others relied only on their burly physiques and brute strength.
However, such strength was utterly powerless against these ferocious beasts, which had long grown accustod to the taste of at and fought in the Dueling Field.
A few people were sent flying with a single swipe from a giant brown bear, crashing against the wall and then falling down, struggling briefly before succumbing.
So others desperately struggled under the sharp fangs of tigers and wolves, crying out for help, yet no one dared go to their aid.
Everywhere in the black market, people were fleeing. So acted quickly, running into rooms and shutting the doors behind them, but even those doors were easily smashed open under a bear’s paw.
"Ah..."
"Help..."
"Quick, where’s the knife, kill them!"
"We can’t, if these beasts die, Boss will kill us."
"Never mind that now..."
"No, grab ropes, tie them down."
The scene was a bloody ss, screams echoing relentlessly, but almost no one dared to face these fierce beasts head-on. The only choice was to flee.
They never imagined there would be a day they’d experience the sa terror as those on the Dueling Field.
Xia Yi took a few steps back, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
At this mont, if she didn’t save them, it would be a great waste of this chaos.
