Two days later, Li Gan finally succeeded in capturing more than a dozen Souls of Life. This greatly boosted his spirit, and his mind became bright. He intentionally arranged for the Little Raven Zhen Tian to capture a few Monster Beasts. Although the Monster Beasts that Zhen Tian captured were of low ranks, their Souls of Life had just left their bodies, which was very beneficial for Li Gan to capture and refine.
Just like this, this man and beast cooperated with each other tacitly for a full ten days. During these ten days, Li Gan absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy and healed all the injuries on his body. After successfully refining the Souls of Life, there were more than a hundred strands. Although it didn't seem to change him at all, he still had a head full of white hair and his body was like a dried corpse. However, his spirit was obviously much better than before, and he was no longer in a half-dead state.
On this day, strange spiritual energy fluctuations began to appear in the valley. This made Li Gang and Wu Yan, who were originally very familiar with the movements of Sun Peng's minions, not dare to stay any longer. They quickly fled with the Little Raven Zhen Tian.
"We'll go directly south. As long as we pass through the Phoenix Ridge, we'll enter the Tong Province."
"Old Freak Xiao should know that we're going to the Tong Province. If we go directly, wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?"
"Staying in the Phoenix Ridge is not a solution. With our current strength, who knows when we'll become Monster Beasts' delicacies. Why don't you disguise yourself as a medicine boy? I don't need to disguise myself as your grandfather."
"I feel that it's more appropriate for me to disguise as your partner." Wu Yan unceremoniously put forward his own opinion.
Li Gan silently smiled, accepting. Although Wu Yan's appearance was ugly, he had a sincere heart.
The Zhen Tian led the way in the sky. Relying on his keen eyesight, the two easily avoided the powerful Monster Beasts and carefully stealthily moved along the way.
Along the way, Wu Yan really did weave a wicker basket and picked up some ordinary medicinal herbs to disguise himself as an old woman.
However, along the way, the two of them did not forget to absorb. As long as they had time, they would begin to repair their weak bodies.
During the process of escaping, he naturally encountered Old Freak Xiao's pursuit many times. Perhaps Old Freak Xiao's search team still believed that Li Gan was protected by the Three Heroes Of Li, three powerful Golden Deities. They deduced that Li Gan would be hiding in a very dangerous place and naturally ignored some weak auras. It was precisely because of this that the two of them did not hesitate to hide. If they encountered other mercenaries searching for them, the two of them would run as far as they could. After half a year of escaping, the two of them had learned to keep a low profile and had also learned many survival skills.
Li Gang and Wu Yan had no mishaps along the way. They were lucky enough to sneak into the forest in the southernmost part of Phoenix Ridge.
At the southern border of Phoenix Ridge, a group of heavily armored soldiers with long swords on their backs guarded the area. These soldiers were all well-built and emitted a strong murderous aura. Their ferocious gazes carefully scanned the passersby.
This was one of Sun Peng's personal guards. They were mainly responsible for guarding the road leading to Tongzhou.
"Reporting to Captain Liu, news has come from various strongholds. Li Gan and Wu Yan have not been found." A soldier stood in front of a well-built man wearing silver-white battle armor and reported the situation.
This captain surnamed Liu was well-built, with a strong back and a thin waist. He emitted an oppressive spiritual pressure. "Continue searching. We can't miss any corner. I don't believe that this brat can still ascend to the heavens!"
That soldier secretly took out a dozen crystal coins from the Baibao pouch at his waist and stuffed them into the hands of the well-built man. "Captain Liu, we've already searched for more than two months and haven't found even a shadow. You've also worked hard during this period of time, but we've also had to drink a lot of northwest wind with you. Do you … think …"
"Little Sanzi, what do you mean by this?" Captain Liu pretended to be serious, but he still reached out and took the crystal coins. He lowered his voice to the lowest possible volume. "Your Brother Liu is not the kind of person who likes money. However, speaking of which, I can't let you down. The situation has been tense during this period of time, and I know that you've suffered a lot. Right now, there are still a few hundred people who have not been checked. I'll check with you. After checking, arrange for half of the brothers to rest, and the other half to continue searching.
"Yes, Captain Liu!" Little Sanzi was extremely excited. With a wave of his hand, half of the people followed him to the camp at the back.
"Who is it!! Stop!! "
Just as' Little Sanzi 'led the troops a few steps away, an angry shout came from behind. Everyone turned around. Little Sanzi's spirit was slightly shaken. He grabbed his broadsword and rushed over at the first moment.
"Men, arrest him!" Captain Liu also hurried over. He commanded a few soldiers and pressed a young mercenary to the ground.
The pedestrians on the road could not help but shake their heads and sigh. Many of them gathered together and began to whisper.
"What's the matter? Why are they randomly arresting people again?"
"Right now, the soldiers in Ji Zhou have turned into mad dogs. They can't catch Li Gan, so they're venting their anger on us, the common people."
"I heard that the Second Young Master Li is protected by the Three Heroes Of Li and three Golden Deities. These idiots don't dare to provoke them!"
"That's right. If the Three Heroes Of Li were to come, they could easily wipe out this group of people with a wave of their hand."
"Stop yelling. If these soldiers really hear us, we'll all be implicated. Great Elder Sun is not someone to be trifled with. I'm guessing that it won't be long before the Three Heroes Of Li are captured."
"Look, which unlucky person is that? How did he get captured?"
As the crowd discussed, they looked into the depths of the dense forest. They saw thirty to fifty soldiers pushing and pulling two frightened pedestrians over. Everyone looked up and saw that one of the two people was an old man with a head full of white hair and an extremely thin body. The other person was also a white-haired woman.
"What are you doing?" Captain Liu rushed over and stared at the two people. His imposing manner was somewhat frightening.
"Sirs, this old man … is just … just a herb gatherer." The white-haired old man trembled slightly as he untied the medicine basket from the north and handed it to Captain Liu.
"Old fart, get lost!" Xiao Sanzi snatched the basket from the old man's back and rummaged through it. He shook his head at Captain Liu.
Captain Liu looked at the ugly old woman and asked, "What are you carrying in the basket?"
"Medicine." The old woman was so frightened that she took a few steps back and hugged the basket tightly in her arms.
"Bring it over for me to see."
"No … No!" The old woman hugged the basket even tighter and looked nervously at the soldiers in front of her.
"What? Do you really have some unspeakable secret? "Xiao Sanzi's expression slowly turned cold.
The white-haired old man quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Sirs, this is a few precious medicinal herbs that we coincidentally found. We can only rely on these herbs to exchange for a few Red Primes. Please spare us and don't take them away. You … you can do us a favor, please."
The old woman hugged the basket tightly and timidly hid behind the white-haired old man. Her face was full of fear and nervousness.
"Don't worry, Great Elder Sun's personal guards are not bandits. If they really are medicinal herbs, we won't take them. Fengling hasn't been peaceful recently. Have you seen anyone suspicious?" Captain Liu originally wanted to snatch the basket and check it carefully, but when he saw how pitiful the old couple was, he really wanted to keep it a secret.
"We're just normal herb gatherers. Even if there are any suspicious people, we can't control them." The white-haired old man smiled apologetically and nodded. His dry hand took out an old ginseng from the basket and stuffed it into Captain Liu's hand. "Sirs, please spare us!"
"You should take it and exchange it for a few Red Primes." Captain Liu found it a little funny and casually threw the old ginseng into the old man's basket.
"Thank you, sirs. Thank you, sirs." The old man kept bowing and carefully put away the herbs.
"Alright, there's nothing else for you to do. Stand aside." Captain Liu waved his hand and ordered. He did not want to make things difficult for these two pitiful people.
"Then … sirs, can we leave now?" The old man tried to ask Captain Liu.
"Leave? You two old things, why do you have so much nonsense to say? Stand over there. "Before Captain Liu could answer, Xiao Sanzi pushed the two to the side.
"Yes, yes." The old man looked at the old woman not far away. The two of them walked to the side.
"Wait!" Captain Liu suddenly stopped them.
The white-haired old man and the old woman's eyes twitched slightly, then returned to normal. "Sirs, do you have any other orders?"
"You two old things are really not honest. I was almost fooled by your pitiful appearance. There are no villages within a radius of two hundred miles. Where did you come from?"
"We were originally residents of Tong Zhou. Because we were close to Feng Ling, we secretly went to pick some herbs. Sirs, you also know that there are precious herbs only in the depths of Feng Ling. We husband and wife are also trying to make a living!" The white-haired old man quickly explained.
"Yes!" Captain Liu nodded and looked at the two of them carefully again. From their appearance, they were really a good match. The white-haired old man's dry skin was like a living dead person. As for the old woman, although her skin was still somewhat bright, it was extremely ugly. These two people were not deliberately pretending at all.
"Captain Liu, we …" Xiao Sanzi gestured at Captain Liu. His meaning was obvious. Should they arrest the two of them? After all, it was common for them to arrest the wrong person.
"Alright, don't make things difficult for them. Let's continue to investigate the others! " Captain Liu waved his hand. They were arresting Li Gan, Wu Yan, and the Three Heroes Of Li. The three were Golden Deities. No matter what, they would not have anything to do with these two old people.
Xiao Sanzi looked deeply at Li Gan and Wu Yan. He felt that there was something wrong with these two people. There was a sense of familiarity. He gave Captain Liu a look and said to the old woman, "Bring your basket over and let me have a look!"
"No, no, this is something that we exchanged with our lives!" The old woman was still hugging the basket tightly.
"Could it be that there's something going on? Bring it over quickly! "Another soldier grabbed the basket and held it in place.
"You bandits, you only know how to rob our medicine farmer's property!" The old woman roared in grief and indignation. She hugged the basket tightly and refused to let go.
"Alright, don't make things difficult for them." Captain Liu was still somewhat compassionate.
"Captain Liu, her basket is very heavy … It's not an ordinary weight!" The soldier was slightly startled. His eyes were fixed on the old woman with a cold light.
"Hm?" Captain Liu deliberately turned his gaze to the old couple.
"The things inside are all of our harvest in the past six months in Phoenix Ridge. Please let us go." The white-haired old man pleaded.
"Half a year's harvest? Hehe, your wife is very strong! I'm afraid that the basket on her back is at least a few hundred kilograms! "The soldier's face was cold.
"Sirs, you …" The white-haired old man pleaded again.
