His actions were very stiff, he just raised his hand high, and then increased the speed of the horse.

The leader sped up, and the speed of those behind him rose at the same time. Without using any lightness skills, their speed could be described as sprinting.

Even when sprinting, their actions didn't change at all, without even the slightest wavering.

As those people accelerated, Mo Jiuye's speed naturally had to increase as well. He embraced He Zhiran and used lightness skills to quickly chase after them.

He Zhiran frowned, she seemed to have noticed something wrong.

"The one controlling those thirty people should be the person on horseback."

As she spoke, she had already taken out a sniper rifle from her space ring, loaded it, and aimed at the man on horseback.

Mo Jiuye guessed her intention and stopped her, "Ranran, use a tranquilizer gun. I want to see the identity of the leader."

He Zhiran thought Mo Jiuye wanted to get some useful clues from these people, so she quickly put away the sniper rifle and took out a tranquilizer gun to grasp in her hand.

Mo Jiuye knew his wife was going to aim, so he deliberately sped up. Then, when they were less than fifty meters away from the man on horseback, he stopped.

He Zhiran's body steadied, she immediately fired a shot, precisely hitting the leader's shoulder.

The man struggled for a few moments, then fell off the horse's back.

To be cautious of any changes from the people behind, Mo Jiuye once again embraced He Zhiran and leapt onto the treetops.

The danger he imagined didn't come. After the man on horseback fell to the ground, those people simply stood in place, each like terracotta warriors, without any reaction at all.

He Zhiran breathed a sigh of relief, pointing at the man lying on the ground saying, "They should be controlled by this person."

At this moment, Mo Jiuye also realized this point. Seeing that those soldiers didn't have any actions, he pulled He Zhiran and cautiously approached the leader.

To verify whether those thirty people really had no consciousness, or weren't alive, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye deliberately probed them as they passed by.

This probe made Mo Jiuye gasp.

What he probed was their breath, but there was none at all...

He Zhiran was different. After all, she was a doctor. When checking if someone still had life, she wouldn't rely solely on their breath, but would check the carotid artery in their neck.

If she hadn't probed like this, she might have also thought they were all dead.

No breath, but a faint pulse in the carotid artery, He Zhiran had never encountered such a situation before.

Before she could tell Mo Jiuye about her discovery, he had already walked up to the leader.

Seeing this, He Zhiran immediately took out a flashlight from her space ring and shone it on the man's face.

Mo Jiuye lifted the man's mask, instantly shocked still as he sat on the muddy ground, completely disregarding the filth on his hands.

"Sixth elder brother, it's sixth elder brother..."

He Zhiran was equally shocked. She had guessed earlier that these people were very likely related to Mr. Si Meng, but hadn't considered the side of the Mo family men.

After all, the Mo brothers they had recently rescued looked miserable.

Especially the fourth and seventh elder brothers, it was simply a miracle they were still alive.

But the sixth elder brother before them was completely different. Not only was he not emaciated, but his complexion didn't look unhealthy either.

No matter what, since he was a Mo family elder brother, He Zhiran didn't have any reason to let him continue getting rained on here.

With a wave of her hand, she brought the sixth elder brother and Mo Jiuye into her space ring together.

The two paid no mind to their own rain-soaked clothes, and hurried into the operating room to examine the sixth elder brother.

After examination, it was confirmed that the sixth elder brother had indeed been infected with puppet bugs.

To prevent any changes, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye removed the bugs from him in the fastest speed possible.

At the same time, Mr. Si Meng, who was sitting cross-legged in the secret room of the Si Meng Villa, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the bottle containing the puppet master bug in his arms also shook incessantly.

He paid no mind to wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, and hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle to inspect it.

He first placed the master bug in his palm. The master bug fluttered its wings, wanting to fly out of his palm.

Mr. Si Meng completely disregarded his own physical condition, and quickly followed it.

He was a genius at raising bugs, and the best bug raiser in southern borderlands. The bugs he raised, especially this puppet bug, had been by his side for many years and developed some intelligence. Whenever an abnormal situation occurred with the host of a child bug, his master bug would react in time.

He just didn't know which child bug's host had run into trouble.

If it was on the western border, it would be troublesome. Even if he grew wings and could fly, he was afraid he still wouldn't make it in time.

The only thing reassuring him was that in the whole world, no one could remove the bugs he had planted in someone.

At most, the infected person would die, and he would lose a Mo family man. As for those medicine men he had carefully nurtured over the years, before he could even utilize them, losing them like this was quite a pity.

Although it was a pity, since he could no longer control the person, dying was the best outcome for them.

Of course, if something happened to Mo Liu, Mo Jinyean, who had just left the capital, he still had a chance to go save him.

Therefore, Mr. Si Meng hurriedly utilized his lightness skill to chase after him, hoping he could still catch up to Mo Jinyean's footsteps.

When he chased to the city gate, he specially asked the soldiers guarding the gate, confirming that Mo Jinyean had already left the city with people, so he directly chased out after them.

At this time, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye had already removed the child bug from Mo Jinyean's body.

This child bug was a bit different from the ones they had seen before when saving his elder brothers.

The bugs taken out from the bodies of the elder brothers they had saved earlier were all transparent blue, but the bug in the sixth elder brother was somewhat purple-blue.

It was a bit like the unhealthy color a person's skin takes on when poisoned.

Mo Jiuye also noticed the difference with this child bug. He carefully observed the bug still struggling inside the glass bottle in his hand.

"Ranran, look, it's still using its head to hit the bottle stopper."

He Zhiran's attention was not actually on this.

"Its color looks very strange, like it was steeped in poison."

Only then did Mo Jiuye notice the color of the bug.

"Indeed, just what is going on here?"

If it was a human, He Zhiran could take some blood samples to test, but for a bug, she really couldn't.

And there were still so many unknown people outside.

Thinking of the people outside, He Zhiran suddenly realized something.

"Husband, I suspect those people outside are the legendary medicine men."

"Medicine men?" Mo Jiuye had also heard of this term, it's just that he had only heard of it.

Moreover, according to his knowledge, the secret technique for creating medicine men had been lost for hundreds of years already, so why would medicine men appear again?

In order to verify all this, and also because He Zhiran didn't want to leave any traces, she instantly left the space ring and brought all those people inside.

Anyway, they had no consciousness, so there was no need to worry about the space being exposed at all.
