The leader of the forest's martial arts seemed decent, but they were eventually thrown into disarray by the Beast Team, and soon they could only parry attacks, protecting only a small number of people, unable to safeguard everyone completely.
"Didn't you say if we didn't run away, you could protect us? You liars!" a small merchant traveling with the Merchant Team cried out, "I paid so much protection money, you can't just watch me die!"
Jin Wanliang was closely following the forest leader, also because he had yet to pay half of the final payment, so the forest leader's priority was to protect his life, fearing that the money would be unrecoverable.
Behind Jin Wanliang followed a young woman dressed in the attire of a woman from the Western Regions, her face half-concealed by a veil, carrying a Treasure Sword in her hand, occasionally chopping at the approaching beasts with two strikes, showing that her martial arts skill was not bad and that she was a brave woman.
