Volume XXIV The Targeted
Everyone was on guard against each other, but there was no longer any offensive action, they were all nursing their wounds, and after fighting fiercely for so long, they had already exhausted themselves, how could they still have the strength to fight again immediately, not to mention that the casualties were already so heavy.
The saliva of the beast is a good medicine for healing injuries, so for a while, the white wolf, the jackal, and the black panther were licking their wounds, and after a while, the blood that was still flowing just now was stopped, Ming Xuan himself did not have such magical saliva, but his medicinal materials were not bad, not to mention that they were all medicinal materials that had been collected in the Black Forest for a relatively long time, and the curative effect was also very good.
Unlike the beasts that can lick each other, Mingxuan is much more troublesome to take medicine, the key is that some places are really not good to medicate, especially in the center of the back, even if the injury is not easy to fix, after all, there are too many wounds, it is like wrapping a layer of zongzi before and after, but it can't be completely fixed, the medicinal materials fell straight down, sprinkled a lot, and Ming Xuanzhi frowned, he was originally a medicine picker, especially knowing that it is not easy to collect medicine, so it was too wasteful to sprinkle it like this, fortunately, the medicinal materials fell a lot, but the wound was still full of medicinal powder, at least the effect of stopping bleeding was achieved。
After the wound is treated, everyone is resting and recovering their strength, but what should they do after they recover? The blood feud between each other is considered to have been settled, but they can't continue to fight after recovering some, in that case, it is estimated that there will not be a few lives left here in the end, or just pat the ass and leave it at that? I don't think they may be willing, Ming Xuan has a little headache when he thinks about it, he wants to leave, because it makes no sense for him to fight any longer, but at this time he can't leave at all, first, his leg has been seriously injured, and his running has been greatly affected, although the beasts have not yet found out, and when he runs, he will definitely fall into their eyes, and secondly, as soon as he leaves, will he become the target of the public again?
For the sake of today's plan, we can only recover some strength before making plans.
After some rest, the specific casualties of all parties came out, and the white wolf is now injured but still has combat effectiveness, only three of them are seriously injured, and the other two are dead. The casualties of the jackals were not small, eight were still combat-ready, seven were seriously wounded, and the rest were already dead. The panther's leg seems to have been broken, the beast is no better than a man, it can connect the broken leg, it seems that it can only walk on three legs in the future, which is bound to have a great impact on its strength.
On the other hand, it was actually Ming Xuan's injury that was the lightest, it was only a serious injury, and it would be almost the same after a period of recuperation, and there would be no sequelae. It's really a great irony, he was the first to fight, and he was also in the center of the whirlpool, and it could even be said that he was the initiator of this vicious fight, but from another point of view, Ming Xuan hurt the enemy the least, in fact, the malice he retained was also the lightest, he just came to practice, and he had nothing else to ask for.
Suddenly a low moan broke the silence, Ming Xuan followed the prestige, it was from one of the white wolves, it didn't seem to be a threat or provocation, it was more like an exchange, but it brought Ming Xuan an ominous premonition, although it was not said to Ming Xuan, but his eyes never left Ming Xuan, but stared at it, making Ming Xuan quite uncomfortable, and the jackal and the black panther gradually began to focus their eyes on Ming Xuan, which confirmed Ming Xuan's guess.
"Oh no! they don't want to work together to get rid of me first, do they?" Mingxuan thought to himself.
Ming Xuan analyzed this possibility, it was okay if he didn't want to, the more he thought about it, the worse it became, and he felt that he had guessed it nine times out of ten.
First: All parties don't seem to like themselves, and even hate them to the core, if they want to choose who dies first, they will definitely choose Mingxuan;
Second: after all, they are human beings, and they are not all the way with their beasts;
Thirdly, they have suffered heavy casualties, but they do not seem to have suffered much loss, which also causes them to be uneasy, so they can only be removed first to calm their minds.
Ming Xuan secretly scolded himself for his crow's mouth, it seems that it is always a good spirit but not a bad spirit, no, the white wolf, jackal dog and even the black panther who was already limping all stood up and surrounded Ming Xuan at once.
The world of animals is really not something that people can understand, and they were fighting to the death just now, but in the blink of an eye, they began to cooperate sincerely, which was really unacceptable to Ming Xuan emotionally. But now it's not about accepting or not accepting, it's about how to deal with the current problem.
Ming Xuan smiled bitterly, and stood up stiffly, the pain in his legs almost made him unable to stand upright, but now is not the time to show weakness, Ming Xuan gritted his teeth, straightened his body proudly, clenched the sword in his hand, and looked indifferently at the beasts that surrounded him, his expression was firm, and he was determined to fight to the death.
In this case, there is no way back, only to fight to the death, Ming Xuan believes that even if he dies, he will definitely have those pads! When he looks down on life and death, it seems that the knot in his heart is gone, Ming Xuan feels that he seems to have recovered some strength, and his fighting spirit begins to rise.
Facing Ming Xuan, who was out of the realm of life and death, and the clouds were light and breezy, the beast seemed hesitant, I don't know if it was affected by Ming Xuan's spirit of seeing death as home, or if he was uncertain about his strength, he had no idea for a while, just stopped in place and stared at him.
It was a stalemate for a while......
Suddenly, I heard a whimper, it was one of the two white wolves surrounding Ming Xuan, and the other immediately responded, it seemed that they were communicating with each other, are they going to start moving? Ming Xuan tightened the sword in his hand. This sword has been with him for more than two months, and has experienced a lot of battles, and the blade of the sword has long been filled with gaps, and even some places have been curled, and it is almost useless, but it still has to finish this battle, and it is estimated that it will also die.
Just as Ming Xuan was about to increase his momentum, something unexpected happened, the two white wolves looked at Ming Xuan indifferently, and actually turned their heads and left, and the jackal and the black panther didn't seem surprised by their departure, only Ming Xuan was a little confused.
After a while, the jackal also withdrew and returned to its own group, and the only thing left was the black panther, which bared its teeth at Mingxuan, demonstrated for a while, and turned to leave, staying aside to rest, leaving Mingxuan who was still stunned in place.
The tense atmosphere suddenly returned to calm, this time the white wolf did not stay long, and when he was almost recuperating, he left the buffer zone, and the lightly injured white wolves snuggled up to the seriously injured, holding the dead white wolf in their mouths, and slowly walked back to their lair. The jackal followed, and even the panther stumbled to where he went.
The puddles of blood and fur and flesh on the ground that have not yet been completely solidified still record that this place was still a fierce battlefield just now, and there is no trace of anything else, and the buffer zone that was still lively just now has restored the previous tranquility, leaving Ming Xuan standing there alone.
Ming Xuan found a big tree and tried his best to climb it, as his temporary residence, now that one of the panther's feet has been wasted, it seems that its ability to climb the tree will also be lost in the future, so it is still very safe to stay in the tree. Ming Xuan cleaned up the wound again, and then lay down on the tree weakly, thinking about what happened today, I still feel a little incredible, it feels like I walked around the ghost gate and came back, a mortal situation actually ended so peacefully.
"I don't think about it that much. Ming Xuan was now physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep deeply.
In his sleep, Ming Xuan had a series of chaotic dreams, one moment he dreamed that his grandfather was sitting alone in the falling stream, one moment he dreamed that his grandfather was punishing him severely, and one moment he dreamed of the fat rabbit who was slowing down and eating grass wildly, and he was carrying a few little rabbits, and for a while he dreamed that the white wolf surrounded him on a tree...... Finally, when he saw a dark shadow suddenly pounce on him, he woke up from his dream, gasping for breath, it was already late at night, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
Although it was late at night, Ming Xuan couldn't sleep anymore after waking up, lying there in a daze, it felt so good to be alive!
The starry sky is very beautiful, Ming Xuan unconsciously remembered the night when he was still hesitating to continue cultivating, it was also a very beautiful night, but compared to now, it was a completely different situation, at that time, Ming Xuan was still staying at home, with his grandfather by his side, but now he was alone, staying in this black forest full of fierce beasts.
"I don't know how grandpa is doing, is there enough food to eat, is there enough medicinal herbs?" Ming Xuan said to himself, he was homesick, his eyes were full of longing, but if he wanted to go home, he had to wait until he broke through the second order of martial arts, not only could he go home, but he could also get out of Huoyun Mountain, every time he thought of this, Ming Xuan would become radiant, as if it was tomorrow.
Even if the medicinal effect of the herb is good, Ming Xuan's body has a strong ability to recover, this serious injury is enough for Ming Xuan to rest for a month, Ming Xuan stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones, and lifted the pheasant he had just caught, it was quite heavy, it seemed that he could eat a fresh meal today.
After the fierce battle that day, the white wolf, jackal and black panther seemed to have disappeared, and they never came here again, maybe they were also recuperating, of course, Ming Xuan never left this buffer zone, the food here was enough, but with the gradual recovery of the injury, Ming Xuan was a little unable to stay, he stayed in the dangerous Black Forest to come to practice, not to stay here and do nothing, after all, the injury has been healed.
But now it's not as good as before, because at the critical time of life and death, the white wolf let Ming Xuan go, and he was no longer embarrassed to go to them for training, which seemed too unkind, but his own cultivation had to continue, Ming Xuan had to recuperate here for a month, but his cultivation did not stop improving, it may have been accumulated in that vicious battle, or it was his own thick and thin hair, and he had already vaguely felt the impact of the second-order barrier, but he had to continue to experience and break through it, so that his journey to the Black Forest could end, thinking of this, Ming Xuan was a little impatient。
"There's no way, I can only go deep into the Black Forest!" Ming Xuan thought for a long time, stood up suddenly, and looked into the depths of the Black Forest with a determined expression.
