Zhang Yang hurriedly crouched down, reached out to check Jin Tuantuan's pulse, and carefully examined her complexion and breathing. His brow furrowed slightly, his heart full of confusion and worry. Based on the surface symptoms, Jin Tuantuan didn't seem to have suffered external injuries; instead, it seemed like she was under some curse or had encountered some other strange situation. "Lay her flat on the ground first," Zhang Yang said to Xia Xue, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. Xia Xue quickly and carefully laid Jin Tuantuan's body flat, concern and anxiety evident in her eyes. Zhang Yang retrieved some simple first-aid supplies from his backpack, intending to stabilize Jin Tuantuan's condition first. Gently wiping the sweat off Jin Tuantuan's forehead, Zhang Yang murmured, "Tuan Tuan, don't scare me, what on earth happened?" Standing nearby, Xia Xue clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip as she said, "Could there be some strange gas or trap in here? That little tunnel felt eerie just now."

At that moment, Jin Tuantuan's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Zhang Yang quickly leaned closer and heard Jin Tuantuan weakly say, "Long... Uncle Long..." Zhang Yang and Xia Xue exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes. Uncle Long? Why would Jin Tuantuan mention Uncle Long? Could her unconsciousness be related to him? "Tuan Tuan, hold on, slowly tell us, what about Uncle Long?" Zhang Yang asked softly, eyes full of encouragement. Jin Tuantuan struggled to open her eyes, a trace of fear in her gaze, and said haltingly, "Uncle Long... they... something's wrong... monster..." Before she could finish, she fainted again. Zhang Yang and Xia Xue looked at each other, equally puzzled. By rights, Jin Tuantuan hiding here shouldn't have encountered Uncle Long, so why mention him? And bringing up a monster, could there be a monster down the left path too? With that thought, even Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He couldn't resist looking around, but found no signs of other life. Fortunately, Jin Tuantuan's condition seemed to have improved, her body should be fine. Zhang Yang picked up Jin Tuantuan and said to Xia Xue, "Either way, we shouldn't stay here long, let's get out of here first." Xia Xue couldn't help but ask, "Tuan Tuan just mentioned Uncle Long, shouldn't we look for them?" Zhang Yang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we'll just wait outside." "That old scoundrel might even come begging for their help later." Zhang Yang calculated the time; that monster was about to wake up, just unsure if Uncle Long found the treasure inside. Zhang Yang's plan was to let the monster deal with Uncle Long's people; if possible, take them all out. This way, he wouldn't have to do it himself. But even if the plan didn't reach the expected goal, he reckoned not many of them would survive. What took Zhang Yang by surprise was that when he brought Xia Xue and Jin Tuantuan out, Sun Hongwu was waiting outside with a group of people. "You're still alive?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise. After all, when Sun Hongwu ran out earlier, he should have encountered Uncle Long's attack. Though Sun Hongwu was alive, he seemed seriously injured. "Zhang Yang, you really came, I knew you people wouldn't give up easily." "We haven't settled the score from Fuqiang Village yet, hand over that Rejuvenation Pill quickly, or don't blame me for being rude, remember, your girlfriend Xiao Man is still in our hands." Sun Hongwu, truly unfortunate, had spent great effort in Fuqiang Village digging out a map and two Rejuvenation Pills from beneath the well. Then Zhang Yang suddenly attacked, causing half the map to be lost and one Rejuvenation Pill to be snatched by Zhang Yang. It didn't end there; on the way back, Sun Hongwu encountered Uncle Long's ambush. Everything in his hands was taken, and in the end, they ended up with nothing despite their efforts. This led to Sun Hongwu being scolded by the Sect Leader. The other Elders couldn't stop laughing, leaving Sun Hongwu deeply aggrieved, bearing a grudge against both Zhang Yang and Uncle Long. Especially Uncle Long's despicable tactics, hitting him with a sneak attack right away. Not as forthright as Zhang Yang's open robbery. Seeing Zhang Yang here, Sun Hongwu could guess that the trick left in the hollow was Zhang Yang's doing. His people were about to take action against Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Isn't it a bit foolish to fight me now? Didn't you come here for the treasure?" "The treasure is in someone else's hands now; do you really want to fight me to mutual destruction and let someone else take advantage?" Sun Hongwu's expression changed, and he quickly stopped his men. "Zhang Yang, I'm not in the mood to argue with you today." "Remember, your girlfriend Xiao Man is still with us, give us the Rejuvenation Pill, and we can let bygones be bygones." Zhang Yang shrugged and said to Sun Hongwu, "With my girlfriend in your hands, I wouldn't mess with you, but I didn't bring the Rejuvenation Pill, after all, this is an adventure, who would carry everything here?" Hearing this, Sun Hongwu didn't believe him, but couldn't fight Zhang Yang either. They were waiting outside, keeping watch for Uncle Long to emerge. "Fine, then we'll settle the score later, you can leave," Sun Hongwu said to Zhang Yang. In any case, he really didn't want Zhang Yang lingering here. "No need to be so cold, it's rare to meet again, we should catch up." "Tell me, what's in Changbai Mountain that has you all so driven?" Sun Hongwu's expression shifted slightly, then he said, "You're asking the wrong person, I'm just a worker, how could I know everything." Zhang Yang sneered but didn't press further, instead proposing, "Interested in collaborating?" "How would you collaborate?" Sun Hongwu asked, surprised. "Very simple, when Uncle Long comes out, we take him down together, question him about what he's gotten from inside, and split the loot fifty-fifty, how's that?
