Chapter 21: Returning
In just a few dozen breaths, everyone has experienced all kinds of psychological torture, first the fear of death, then full of expectations, and finally the suffocating tension, when the dust settled, they were stunned by the great joy, they were eager to live, and now the Zhenshan Tiger was disemboweled, they were stunned in place like puppets, and only woke up after a while.
Wu Feng gasped heavily, and more and more blood dripped down the iron, both his and Zhenshanhu's.
Maintaining a kneeling posture on one knee, Wu Feng didn't look back, and he didn't dare to look back, until the cheers of the rest of his life after the catastrophe sounded in his ears, until Li Da stumbled over in the afterglow.
Wu Feng let out a long breath, and the nerves that had collapsed to the extreme also relaxed, and his body and will were both overdrawn, causing him to fall to the ground with black eyes.
"Captain!"
......
The sound of rushing water sounded, and a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was swimming desperately, struggling to keep the torrent from rushing off the cliff. The boy squeezed out the last of his strength and swam to the shore, and hugged the trunk of a tree that went deep into the water, but the bad luck did not go far, when the crisp breaking sound sounded, the boy was swept away by the torrent like a drop in the ocean, and fell off the cliff!
"Ah......h
Wu Feng sat up violently, cold sweat slid down his frightened face, his half-open mouth desperately swallowed the air, and when a familiar voice came to his ears, he slowly raised his head.
"Captain, you're awake!"
With a bandage on his left arm, Li Da hurriedly handed over a leaf containing morning dew.
The sweet dew moistened the flaky lips, and Wu Feng gradually calmed down from the dream, smiled slightly, and nodded. At this time, the outside of the Linglu Cave Mansion was already dark.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Li Da handed over the dry food again but was refused, and then looked at Wu Feng worriedly.
"It's been three days! You have been unconscious for the past three days, with a high fever that does not go away, as if you are having a nightmare, and you are desperately scratching your hands and feet, and you can't hold it down!"
Wu Feng nodded, and a few more people happily gathered around, but their smiles not only did not make Wu Feng happy, but also made the pair of sword eyebrows wrinkle.
"How many of you are left?"
Li Da laughed.
"We are not papier-mΓ’chΓ©, the big boss has gone hunting with some people, and we have just gone. β
Relieved, Wu Feng stood up with Li Da's support, but a simple action made him gasp, because every pore in his body came from the soreness after overdraft.
Wu Feng lowered his head slightly, looking at the herbs shaking off under his feet, although they have all turned into slag, but he can still identify one or two, if they are placed in the He'an Town Market, the price is expensive and it is hard to find, like this rare superlative, either grown on the cliff, or accompanied by fierce beasts, it is not easy to obtain!
"These herbs are all made by the big bosses!" Li Da said.
The corners of his mouth raised a smile, Wu Feng walked up slowly, and his rusty body gradually regained his vitality, but after the vitality was greatly injured, he lacked the spirit of the past.
More than an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the cave.
Wu Feng stood at the entrance of the cave with the help of the stone wall, and Huang Mang's figure quickly walked over, and when the two passed by, the latter stuffed a Linzhi plant, and then walked straight towards the cave.
"Hurry up and cook it and feed it to Wu Feng to drink, the longer this thing is out of the soil, the less effective it is. β
Looking at the worried Huang Mang, Wu Feng smiled with relief.
"Okay big brother!"
The familiar voice made the worried Huang Mang pause slightly, and then turned his head to look, and his face, which had been covered by dark clouds for three days, finally had a smile.
"You stinky boy, haha!"
A brother who has passed away just needs a simple hug. When He Kui came with people carrying a few prey, he was even more ecstatic.
Wu Feng's awakening was undoubtedly a stimulant for the depressed people. The prey was soon set up on a bonfire, and everyone sat around, forgetting their grief for a while, and laughter filled the Linglu Cave Mansion.
The man with the scar walked up to Wu Feng with a wooden stick, and the man had gold under his knees, but he fell to his knees with a pop.
"Little Brother Wu Feng, I couldn't help it before, you saved the big boss, and my life will be yours in the future. β
Quickly helping the scarred man up, Wu Feng smiled faintly.
"Your boss is also my big brother!"
Without further ado, the scarred man smiled and returned to his place.
Looking at the limping back, Wu Feng gradually put away his smile, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and his face climbed solemnly again.
The right side of Huang Mang's body was empty, thinking that he couldn't save the broken right arm.
Although Li Da's arm was bandaged, the white was almost soaked in red.
In contrast, He Kui's injuries were even more shocking, and only a lonely one was left with a pair of clever little eyes.
The rest of the people were also injured, plus those who were lying on the ground and couldn't move and those who stayed in the Linglu Cave Mansion to recuperate, there were only a few poor people left.
"Do what we do, there will be such a day!" Huang Mang patted Wu Feng's shoulder and said comfortingly.
Life and death are in the sky, and the lives of hunters are in the sky. nodded undeniably, but Wu Feng still couldn't let go of the sadness in his heart, when the cub wolf died unexpectedly, he was still moved by compassion, not to mention those brothers who came and went in the wind and rain?
"Big brother, have you disposed of the corpse?" Wu Feng asked.
Nodding, Huang Mang handed a piece of barbecue to Wu Feng, but the latter politely refused, and said, "I ordered the burial on the spot, including your team members, are you okay?"
The jungle is the home of the hunters, and it is even more of an honor for the dead to be buried on the territory of the Zhenshan Tiger. Wu Feng shook his head and smiled gratefully.
Huang Mang nodded in response, and then took out three small bottles from his arms, "Give!"
Wu Feng didn't take it immediately, "This is?"
"Zhenshan Tiger's heart's blood!" Huang Mang stuffed the bottle to Wu Feng.
Looking at the bottle in his hand, Wu Feng choked up a little, this was exchanged for his life by the brothers, and after a while, he put away the sadness and returned a bottle to Huang Mang.
"Big brother, Zhenshan Tiger's hard work should also be of great use to you. β
Huang Mang hesitated for a while, but finally took it, the friendship of his life did not need any fake politeness to decorate, and then asked, "Are you really not going to go back to the black market with your eldest brother?"
Wu Feng shook his head, now that he has the shield of Zhenshan Tiger's heart, even if the head of the Li family and Liu He are angry, he can make more merit than he deserves, not to mention that what happened along the way will not reach the ears of outsiders at all.
"Then the big brother won't force you, let's rest for another day today, and we'll leave the forest early tomorrow morning." β
"Good!"
......
Everyone had made preparations early, and when the first rays of light appeared the next day, they finally set out on their way home. The pace of the team was much slower than when they came, and they did not leave the forest until twilight.
"Brother, let's leave it at that, if the Li family is looking for trouble with you, come directly to the eldest brother!" Huang Mang said and then leaned to Wu Feng's ear, "You have to hide your iron weapon, beware of someone's eyes!"
If the puppet is innocent and has no power to protect it, the treasure will become a curse.
"Don't worry, big brother. Wu Feng nodded solemnly.
Huang Mang nodded, and then left with the people in the black market.
This time, the loss of the black market was greater than that of Tyrone's detachment, when he came, seventeen or eighteen, five or six people returned, except for Huang Mang, only the three masters, the scar man and two other strange-looking people remained, as for the guy in the tavern, Wu Feng never saw it since he opened his eyes.
Staring in the direction of everyone's departure, Wu Feng bowed deeply to the darkness.
After the salute, Wu Feng frowned and looked into the depths of the forest, because before he fainted, there were only two sounds in his ears, one was the heartbeat, and the second was the sound of water.
Seeing that Wu Feng was stunned, He Kui walked up.
"Captain, let's go too. β
Wu Feng came back to his senses and nodded.
"Let's go!"
