When Gu Fei woke up from his coma, he found that he was still lying in the stream. He had a splitting headache and his entire body felt like it was being burned by flames. It was hot, very hot. His skin was like a red-hot soldering iron and the stream water beside him seemed to be boiling, emitting steam and bubbles.
With just a slight movement, his entire body felt like it was being pierced by ten thousand needles. He couldn't help but let out a painful cry. Slowly climbing up, Gu Fei found that his surroundings were gloomy and the forest was covered in mist. Looking up, the sky was pitch black and the clouds were surging, as if a storm was coming.
Gu Fei couldn't tell whether it was day or night. It was completely silent and he couldn't hear any beast roars.
"I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet …" Gu Fei muttered to himself as he staggered along the stream. His head was dizzy and the intense pain caused his mind to be in a mess. It seemed as if he would fall unconscious again at any moment.
However, the inhuman pain stimulated the sensitive nerves of Gu Fei's body, causing his mind to gradually clear up. His chaotic brain began to gradually sort out his thoughts.
Walking along the stream for several dozen feet, Gu Fei was surprised to find that there were many beasts lying on both sides of the stream. There were also dead fish floating in the stream with their stomachs turned upside down.
"This …" Gu Fei couldn't help but be alarmed. He was going upstream, so how could the fish in the stream still be poisoned to death? Just what kind of strange poison was this that was so tyrannical and powerful?
The poison that was forced out of Gu Fei's body was actually able to infect the stream upstream. It was truly shocking.
It wasn't until he walked more than a hundred feet in the mountain stream that the dead fish in the stream gradually disappeared. After walking another dozen feet, Gu Fei saw the shadows of fish swimming in the stream.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a bolt of lightning cut through the sky, as if it had suddenly torn a long hole in the dark sky. A burst of intense light erupted, instantly illuminating the world.
A gust of wind blew past, and the trees in the forest swayed violently, rustling. The wind brought with it heavy moisture, and Gu Fei could smell the scent of water. A storm was coming.
A strong light flashed, and Gu Fei could vaguely see a cliff in front of the mountain stream. There seemed to be a dark cave at the bottom of the cliff, and the stream was flowing out from that cave.
Gu Fei had no choice but to be careful. Moreover, his current situation was not good. There were still remnants of poison in his body, causing his body to be extremely weak.
If he ran into any powerful beasts, his life would be in danger. Of course, if that unlucky beast ate Gu Fei, it would also be poisoned to death.
After being washed by the stream, most of the toxins in Gu Fei's body had been expelled, but some of the toxins that had invaded his internal organs were not so easy to expel out of his body.
He needed to find a place, a relatively safe place, to expel the toxins. It had to be said that the two mysterious young men's methods were really despicable. Although Gu Fei only drank a cup of poisoned wine, he was now half dead.
If it wasn't for the fact that he cultivated ancient martial arts, tempering his body day and night, and the vitality contained in his body was extremely strong, far surpassing ordinary cultivators, that cup of poisoned wine would have taken his life.
"Rumble …" The dark clouds in the sky were so dense that they almost covered the ground. Bolts of lightning flashed in the clouds like silver snakes swimming in the clouds.
The power of heaven and earth deterred all living things. At this moment, besides the rumbling thunder, not a single beast's roar could be heard. All the beasts in the forest seemed to be hiding.
Gu Fei endured the discomfort of his body and carefully walked ashore from the mountain stream. Then, he walked forward through the trees and weeds beside the mountain stream.
Sure enough, there was a pitch-black hole in front of him. When the storm was about to come and the sky was dark, the hole at the bottom of the cliff was like a gaping mouth that could swallow any living creature that passed by at any time.
Gu Fei felt a burst of pressure, should he go in or not? Gu Fei pondered.
"Rumble!" Another shocking lightning flashed across the sky, and the sound of thunder shook the world. Seeing that the storm was coming, Gu Fei weighed the pros and cons, and felt that it was better to enter the cave to avoid this storm.
Carefully, his footsteps were light like a leopard cat, and without any movement, he came to the side of the cave. Gu Fei bent down to pick up a stone, threw it into the cave, and then quickly hid to the side.
"Plop!" The sound of water came from the cave. Gu Fei carefully listened to the sound in the cave, and did not move. He was not in a hurry, and it could even be said that he was very patient.
After a while, there was no more sound coming from the cave, but Gu Fei still did not move. He knew that when some berserk beasts were hunting, they would hide very well and would not easily attack.
Although the intelligence of berserk beasts was far less than that of humans, hunting was their nature. In this aspect, humans were far inferior to berserk beasts. They were the most outstanding killers in the jungle.
"Sha sha …" Heavy rain fell from the sky, covering the world with a layer of rain curtain. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind howled. The storm that had been brewing for a long time finally arrived.
The rain drenched Gu Fei's clothes, blurring his eyes. He leaned against the side of the cave, motionless. Finally, after confirming that there was nothing strange in the cave, Gu Fei slowly walked into the cave.
The cave was the source of the mountain stream. Through the flashing lightning from time to time, Gu Fei could vaguely see the water in the cave. After the lightning passed, the cave became so dark that he could not even see his fingers.
He did not know where this cave extended to. Gu Fei did not dare to go too deep. Instead, he found a clean place near the cave entrance, leaned against the cave wall, and sat down cross-legged.
He cut open his palms, and then operated the mysterious technique, slowly shaking his internal organs, muscles, and bones. Wave after wave of Yuan Qi began to gather in his Dantian. The colorful light began to circulate, and then spread out from his Dantian, spreading to his limbs and bones.
The Yuan Qi in his body washed through his internal organs like a wave, forcing out the poison that had invaded his internal organs, through the cut skin of his palms.
Gradually, with the circulation of Yuan Qi in Gu Fei's body, the surrounding spiritual energy also began to slowly gather towards him, seeping into his body, causing the heat all over his body to begin to ease.
As time passed, traces of poisonous blood began to seep out from Gu Fei's palms. It was purplish black blood, and besides the stench, the poisonous blood also carried a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of some kind of flower.
While Gu Fei was in the cave operating the mysterious technique to expel the poison, in a courtyard in Bluestone Town, a room next to a lotus pond emitted a bright light.
A black-clothed man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat braved the heavy rain and hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard. He bypassed the lotus pond and went straight to the room that was still lit.
When he came to the door, the man took off the bamboo hat and coat, put it aside, and then was about to knock on the door.
"Come in!" At this time, a calm voice came from inside the room.
"Yes, young master!" The man respectfully and carefully opened the door, and then flashed into the room.
The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a bed, a table, two tea tables, and several chairs. The two walls of the room and the table were burning with red candles.
A young man was holding a book, reading under the candlelight.
"Young master, this is information about those two people!" The person who came in was a middle-aged man with yellow skin. This person's eyes were full of spirit, and his footsteps were silent. It was obvious that he was a smart and capable person.
The young master put down the book in his hand, took a stack of papers from the middle-aged man, and then began to read. After only reading a few, the young man's face changed.
