When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

It was a very small water plant, or perhaps it could not be called a water plant, because at first glance it was just a bunch of dead branches with three bright red fruits growing on the dead branches.

Could it be that these three fruits are what the vine seeds are crazy about?

Thinking of this, Su Qing took out the vine seed, placed it on the palm of her hand, and moved closer to one of the red fruits.

Sure enough, the vine seed suddenly lay entirely on the red fruit. Within two seconds, the red fruit shrank, leaving only a thin skin.

Next, Su Qing did the same thing, and the other two red fruits were also absorbed by the vine seeds.

After absorbing three red fruits, the vine seed lay in the palm of Su Qing's hand. It fluttered twice as if it was full. Su Qing couldn't help laughing. Could it be that this little guy was burping because he was full?

After putting the vine seed into the Bagua Pond, Su Qing saw the vine seed slowly sinking to the bottom of the Bagua Pond. It seemed to have fallen asleep, lying there motionless.

Maybe, this vine seed needs to be upgraded.

Su Qing then turned her attention back to the underwater cave. She looked around and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had just followed the feeling of the vine seeds all the way, and now she could no longer tell which way she came.

After searching in the cave again, Su Qing found that she really couldn't find the way back. Her wood-based ability to control plants was not so smooth, perhaps because she was in the water. So, Su Qing simply gave up looking and just randomly chose a direction and swam over.

Fortunately, Su Qing was lucky. Not long after, she found a cave entrance. After she came out of the cave, she swam towards the top of the pool.

But as soon as she got ashore, Su Qing discovered that this was not the pool where she had just jumped into the water, because it could not be called a pool at all, it was just a very small pool.

Su Qing quickly changed into dry clothes and planned to find a way to leave. However, just after passing through two cave entrances, she heard a confrontation coming from the front.

"Listen, everyone inside. Do not harm the hostages. Please release the hostages as soon as possible and do not continue to be stubborn."

"Bullshit! If I release the hostages, you will have to arrest me. Do you think I'm stupid?"

After hearing these two voices, Su Qing was speechless. Was there another hostage being taken?

What kind of luck is this?

"If you harm the hostages, it will be an even more serious crime. Do you understand?" Another voice shouted. Su Qing guessed that the person shouting should be outside the cave.

"You don't understand. I just know that if I release the hostages today, I will fall into your hands. Stop talking nonsense and do what I say. Otherwise, if these two people lose their arms and legs, don't blame me. It's all your fault."

The robber's voice was very arrogant, and Su Qing could faintly hear low sobs.

Now that she has encountered him, she can't just ignore it. Besides, the robber is blocking her way.

Su Qing sneaked over quietly, and when she got close, she found that the place where the robbers were holding the hostages was separated from her by a mountain wall.

There are no connecting holes here.

However, since she could hear the other person so clearly, it meant that there must be some connection between them, so Su Qing looked up.

Sure enough, the place where the two caves connected was on the top of the mountain wall, and there was an entrance that was wide enough for a person to pass through while crawling.

Su Qing climbed up the mountain wall silently and looked out from the cave entrance.

She was in front and to the left of the robber and the two hostages. The robber was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a face full of flesh, and he did not look like someone who was easy to deal with.

The two hostages were two girls who looked very young, probably around 18 or 19 years old. Because they were threatened by the man with a knife, they dared not cry out loud and could only sob quietly, shaking all over. One of them almost fainted from crying, and the man grabbed her hair and forced her to kneel on the ground.

The other girl might be braver. Although she was also scared and turned pale, she managed to hold on. She raised her eyes inadvertently and saw Su Qing above her left front side. Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened.

When Su Qing saw that she was seen, she quickly made a gesture to the girl to keep quiet.

The girl understood immediately and lowered her eyes. She couldn't help feeling excited in her heart. Perhaps, they could be saved.

At this time, the robber was still shouting towards the outside of the cave: "I'll give you three minutes. If you still refuse to let me go, I'll kill one first. Anyway, I have two in my hands, so I'm rich. Even if I can't leave today, it's not a loss to have two little girls as my scapegoats!"

The robber's words obviously made Gongan outside the cave a little anxious: "Don't be impulsive, let's talk it over."

"There's nothing to talk about. Just one word, will you let me go or not? If not, we'll fight to the death." The robber shouted loudly.

After hearing the robber say he was going to kill someone, the semi-conscious girl suddenly woke up and cried out, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die, save me."

"Shut up right there." The girl's words made the robber extremely angry: "If you cry again, I will kill you right now, do you believe it?"

The robber's words successfully silenced the girl.

The gongan outside the cave hurriedly shouted: "Don't be impulsive."

"I said. I..." The robber became even more violent. He shouted loudly towards the outside of the cave, but he fell to the ground before he could finish his words.

It turned out that Su Qing hit the robber on the temple with a small stone. Su Qing controlled the strength very well, making the robber faint but not taking his life.

"Ah--" Seeing the robber suddenly fall to the ground unconscious, the timid girl shouted loudly, while the other girl looked at Su Qing with surprise. She knew that Su Qing must have done something to make the robber unconscious.

Su Qing smiled at the girl and made a gesture to keep it secret. The girl understood Su Qing's gesture and said thank you to Su Qing silently.

Su Qing curled her lips. Hearing the noise coming from outside the cave, she hurried back to the cave she had been in. She didn't want to deal with Gongan again, lest he try to persuade her like Feng Bozhou. She really didn't want to go to work. How sweet it was to live a free and self-loving life.

When the officials outside the cave heard the robbers' words suddenly stop and a girl's scream was heard, they knew something must have happened inside, so they rushed into the cave.
