"How can you say such words? To think that I thought you were a good person, pfft …"
The young man was very angry, feeling that the uncle was inhumane. There were also a few youths in the group who felt that the uncle's words were too heavy.
"Uncle is right, hurry up and give up. Bringing him along will only tire you to death."
There were also people who felt that the uncle's words made sense. Bringing an injured person along in the Red Desert was simply courting death. One had to know that the smell of blood would attract demonic beasts.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to make your decision."
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, the uncle simply stopped. He stared straight at the young man without saying a word. The atmosphere was inexplicably oppressive. Everyone was waiting for the young man to make a decision.
"No, don't give up on me."
When Little Zheng heard this, he was unwilling. Wasn't his leg and abdomen injured? Was there a need to be like this? If it was any other time, this kind of injury would be nothing to a martial artist. Even without healing medicine, he could recover on his own.
"You're going to die and you're going to drag us down. Do you still have a conscience?"
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, the only female martial artist in the group spoke again. However, what she said was reasonable. If this continued, everyone would die. Uncle was too soft-hearted. He could just leave, why bother wasting time with them?
"Let's go, let's go. Don't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the demonic beasts will come."
Hearing the word 'demonic beast', everyone's eyes lit up. That was right. If they waited any longer, the smell of blood would attract the demonic beasts. That would be troublesome.
"Awoooo …"
It was such a coincidence that wolf howls came from afar at this moment. Moreover, they were getting closer and closer, rising and falling one after another. If he didn't hear wrongly, it should be the cry of a Sand Wolf. The Sand Wolf was different from the Fire Wolves on the other side of the volcano. Perhaps it was because of the harsh environment of the Red Desert that they had an even more ferocious nature. Ordinary Sand Wolves had already reached the peak of the sixth level, which was equivalent to the peak of the Void Sea Realm Level 9 or the half-step Heaven Seizing realm of the human martial artists.
As for the Sand Wolf Leader, it was at the seventh and a half level, equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of the human Heaven Seizing realm. If they really fought, they would be more familiar with the desert environment and would not be affected by the sandstorm. If there were only one or two Sand Wolves, it would be fine. With so many people, they should be able to deal with them. The problem was that once the Sand Wolves moved out, they would move in packs. There would be at least thirty to fifty of them, and at most, there might be hundreds of them. There were only twenty of them in total. Since Little Zheng had just been crippled, there were only nineteen of them who could still fight.
"Go!"
The young man, who initially wanted to leave with Little Zheng on his back, suddenly made up his mind to leave with everyone when he heard the wolf howls.
"Brother, remember to bring me back."
When Little Zheng heard the wolf howl, he suddenly calmed down. He didn't cry or make a fuss, and he didn't beg others to continue carrying a burden like him. After giving a few more instructions, he actually committed suicide, and his soul left his body.
This was already his last resort, but it was still better than remaining in the Red Desert as a wandering ghost. If his companion brought his soul back, there would at least be a chance to reconstruct his physical body and resurrect. It must be said that Little Zheng made a quick decision. His companion put his soul into the soul storage bottle, and the group immediately set off again. In total, it didn't take more than a quarter of an hour.
The honest-looking man was really familiar with the roads in the Red Desert. He led everyone around, and after a while, they actually couldn't hear the wolf howls anymore. It meant that even the Sand Wolves that grew up in the Red Desert were not as familiar with the surrounding terrain as the man.
They didn't know that a group of Sand Wolves was really surrounding Little Zheng's abandoned body at the moment. First, the Alpha Wolf went up to sniff it, but then it gave up. It was actually picky about its food, thinking that Little Zheng's body wasn't fresh enough. If the Alpha Wolf didn't eat it, the other Sand Wolves wouldn't eat it either. They turned around and soon disappeared into the vast desert.
After the Sand Wolves left, the Dark Red Ants appeared again. They were happily gnawing on human flesh when a person came over. It seemed that his murderous aura was too strong, and it alarmed the ants that were eating. They scattered and all burrowed back into the dark red sand below.
Du Feng looked at the body on the ground. The torso had been hollowed out, and most of the legs had been eaten away. Only the head could barely be identified. That's right, the one who died was from the honest-looking man's team. He remembered that the man had desperately invited him to join the team.
He took out the map and looked at it again, then observed the surrounding scenery. Du Feng locked onto a direction and left in a hurry. Not long after he left, the dark red ants crawled out again and continued to gnaw on Little Zheng's body. Soon, just like the last time, only the skeleton was left of the body.
The next to appear was naturally the slimy worms. They were like scavengers in the desert, not letting any rotten corpses leave behind to pollute the red land. In just a short while, the bones turned into thick water and were absorbed by the worms. The wind and sand quickly covered the traces on the ground, and not even the footprints of the Sand Wolves were left. Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as the worms retracted, Long Yichen caught up from behind. From the looks of it, he seemed to be in a hurry. Because he was careless just now, he almost got lost. He finally detected Du Feng's aura from afar and quickly chased after him. Smelling the air, he seemed to know that a murder had just happened here.
Could it be that Brother Du was the one who did it? His speed of killing was too fast. Knowing that Du Feng was ruthless, why did Long Yichen continue to follow him? The reason was very simple: he didn't know the way. Although he had a map in his hand, he had a bad sense of direction. He didn't lose to anyone in terms of strength, but his ability to recognize the way was poor, and he didn't want to team up with others. After thinking about it, he could only follow Du Feng from afar.
Du Feng was ruthless to the enemy, but Long Yichen knew that he was a person with principles. People weren't afraid of being bad, but they were most afraid of not having principles. Because bad people also had principles when they killed, and they wouldn't act recklessly. As for people without principles, you would never be able to tell when they were good and when they were bad. That kind of person was the most terrifying.
"Hehe!"
