This was good. Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction. Gu Zheng felt bad about leaving them alone. With more strength, there would be more hope in the future. This would save him a lot of trouble. He could leave safely, and they could return quickly without having to worry about danger at all times.
When the pangolin saw Gu Zheng take out such a large bottle of green liquid, its eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Before it could even open its mouth to stop Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng had already begun taking action. Feeling the slight chill on its body, it closed its eyes and focused on recovering.
When it was over, the pangolin's injuries were mostly healed. At the very least, it wouldn't have any problems traveling and fighting.
"Thank you so much, General Gu. You didn't have to do that." The pangolin's gratitude came from the bottom of its heart. To be honest, it felt a bit wasteful to use so much green liquid to heal its injuries. If it couldn't ask for it, it would rather risk its life to exchange for the green liquid.
"It's fine. Safety first. I have things to do, so I don't have much time to stay here." Gu Zheng explained. "If I hadn't heard someone scream, I wouldn't have known what happened."
"Right, where did the person who injured you go?" Gu Zheng thought that the person was hiding nearby, so he let Liao Wen go to see if there was any reaction. But nothing happened. It was very likely that the person had already left.
"After injuring us, he had already left this place. However, I left a wound on him."
Gu Zheng wasn't surprised. "Oh, then can I find him?" Gu Zheng was afraid that the person would come back after he left, so he might as well get rid of the person once and for all.
"Yes, my aura is on the wound. It's very weak and won't disappear for a while." The pangolin pulled out another spike from its back. Its body trembled slightly, and it nonchalantly handed it to Gu Zheng. "Take this and you can roughly sense the person's location. But if the person's wound is healed, it'll be useless."
The pangolin felt it first. It could still feel a weak aura coming from the west, but it still pointed out the weakness. This was the pangolin's way of tracking its prey.
"Okay, got it." Gu Zheng made up his mind to meet this person later. It just so happened that his route was not the same as his.
"Captain." The first to wake up was the purple marten. Due to its small size, its recovery speed was a bit faster.
"Your teammate is awake," Gu Zheng said.
"Are you feeling alright?" Although the pangolin knew that the other party was fine, it still asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I feel great all over." The purple marten sensed for a moment and answered honestly, "Captain, have we gone to hell? How come all the wounds on our bodies have healed?"
The purple marten moved its body and asked in disbelief. Looking at the nearby scenery, it was still at the place where it was resting. It knew what had happened before it fainted. The captain in front of it did not seem to be injured, so it was definitely not an illusion. That meant that it had gone to the underworld.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It was General Gu who saved us." The pangolin pointed at Gu Zheng beside him and said to the somewhat confused purple marten.
At this time, everyone woke up one after another. They looked at their own bodies in surprise and unconsciously looked at the captain. Third Bro and Fifth Bro's wings had already healed. They subconsciously flapped their wings, causing gusts of wind to blow. There was no pain at all.
"Did we fall into an illusion just now?" The junior brother asked the senior brother in surprise.
"Maybe." The senior brother looked around and everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The two of them believed that it was an illusion.
The captain explained to the team again. Only then did they know that General Gu had saved them and used so much green liquid on them. Everyone thanked Gu Zheng gratefully.
Gu Zheng politely replied to them one by one. When everyone quieted down, he bade them farewell.
"Hurry up and go back. There are no enemies now. For safety's sake, you should continue to speed up." Gu Zheng comforted everyone.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he slowly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Alright, General Gu has said his words. Now, let's hurry up and set off. Don't delay here, lest other people rush here." The captain said to everyone.
"Captain, how did General Gu come here? Was it you who asked for help?" The big cat asked curiously. How could they be saved by General Gu so coincidentally?
"How could I have such a big face? It was that person from before who let out a long cry and was heard by General Gu who happened to be passing by. Otherwise, we would really be in trouble." The captain briefly explained what had happened just now.
"General Gu is such a good soldier." The purple marten said with admiration. Everyone nodded. No one was willing to waste the green liquid like that. Yes, when everyone heard that Gu Zheng had used so much green liquid on them, they all felt their hearts ache.
Only the two senior brothers did not know the preciousness of the green liquid. They did not know why they were looking at General Gu with admiration.
Soon, the small team finished their preparations and set off. They were still very careful as they left the place.
Gu Zheng hid in the surroundings. After seeing that everything was fine, he finally felt relieved and left. He felt that the sharp spike in his hand was vaguely in the southwest direction. Following this feeling, Gu Zheng chased after it.
"Damn it." Hei Jin looked at the wound on his leg and could not help but curse. This wound was left by the pangolin a few days ago. He only noticed it a long time after leaving that place.
It was not big, just a small wound. He did not even know how he got injured. It did not affect him at all, but he felt a little annoyed.
After helping Liao Wen that day, when he came out, he felt like a disaster was coming. But thinking about it, he did not provoke any enemies recently. Anyway, he felt uneasy.
Originally, he wanted to find a place to rest, but the more he rested, the more unbearable the panic in his heart became. He had no choice but to continue moving forward. The more he rushed in the direction of home, the less depressed he felt. His intuition told him that something bad must have happened recently.
Could it be that the owner of the tavern, Payne, felt that he owed too much money and wanted to rob his house? Or did someone feel that he was not at home and wanted to steal something?
No matter what the reason was, he would go back first and wait for the things that Liao Wen gave him. As for cultivation, he would think about it next time. He was not in a hurry.
However, the wound on his leg had not healed yet. It seemed like there was a strange energy preventing it from healing. Every time he wanted to stop and focus on treating it, he would feel a strong sense of unease. Seeing that it was not a big problem, Hei Jin did not ask. Anyway, it would heal slowly.
He ran with all his strength in the forest. Only by running fast could he get rid of the annoyance in his heart. Unfortunately, he also needed time to rest. After running at full speed for a few days, even Hei Jin was a little tired.
No matter how he felt in his heart, he had to rest for a while. He found a tree with lush branches and found a comfortable branch to lie down on.
He accidentally saw the wound on his leg and snorted in his heart. The wound flashed and became smooth again. The wound was healed. Only then did he lie down in a good mood. He felt that his heart was at peace and he didn't feel as stuffy as before.
Gu Zheng, who was not far away, felt that the other party's senses had completely disappeared. He knew that the other party had treated the wound and discarded the thorn.
These days, Gu Zheng relied on the thorn left by the pangolin to firmly sense the other party's whereabouts. He did not know what the other party was thinking. The closer he got, the faster the other party ran. He was afraid that he would lose him, so he followed closely. There were even a few times when he did not pay attention and ran in the wrong direction.
The other party did not run in a straight line, but in a strange way. Fortunately, Gu Zheng could sense it from time to time, so he did not lose it.
Although the sense had disappeared, he knew that the other party had stopped at the end. It seemed that the other party was resting not far away and had treated his wound.
However, he had already determined the other party's approximate location. Gu Zheng carefully crept over. When he was almost at the place where the sense disappeared, Gu Zheng looked at the tree Hei Jin was on. He did not know where he was hiding, so he decided to ambush the other party on the path he wanted to take.
This large area was filled with barren trees. Only this tree seemed to be flourishing. Needless to say, if it was him, he would also hide in it to rest.
This place was close to the central area, and it was also close to the south. Generally, no one would come here. Therefore, Hei Jin was relieved to rest here. He slept for two days straight. It was not easy for the gloominess in his heart to disappear. It was too relaxing.
Hei Jin stretched his body and decided to go back first. He quickly scanned the area with his spiritual sense and did not find anything wrong.
With a leap, he jumped down from the tree and continued to fly forward.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's direction. It just so happened that the other party was heading in his direction. It could not be better.
This was called not taking the road to heaven, but barging into hell.
At this time, Gu Zheng was hiding in a barren tree. His body was the same size as the tree. When he saw Hei Jin coming, his eyes sharpened. It was just as the pangolin had described. It was him.
Looking at Hei Jin who was about to pass by, Gu Zheng calculated the distance and pounced. If he wanted to ambush Hei Jin as late as possible, he would directly pounce and attack at close range.
When Hei Jin felt that something was wrong, Gu Zheng was already above his head.
Hei Jin felt all the hair on his body stand up. Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura above his head. It was as if something was smashing towards his head.
There was no time to think. Hei Jin's body reacted instinctively. He took the initiative to dodge. His head desperately twisted to the side. He even felt as if his head was growing on his shoulder. He was trying to avoid this fatal blow.
Fortunately, his many years of battle experience finally came into play. Hei Jin only felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. After the pain passed, he could no longer feel anything. He clearly knew that all the bones in his left shoulder and arm had been shattered.
Because Hei Jin was still flying at high speed, he was sent flying like a plane that had lost control. He crashed into the trees along the way.
"Wah!"
Hei Jin spat out a few mouthfuls of blood when he was hit. He did not have time to get up when he landed on the ground. He immediately rolled on the ground and retreated. At the same time, he sent out beams of aura to block the other party's pursuit.
When Hei Jin stood up, he felt as if his internal organs were burning. There were also waves of aura stirring in his body. It was so painful that his face was distorted.
Gu Zheng didn't expect the other party to be able to dodge this sure-kill attack from an unimaginable angle without being detected. Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment and didn't continue to pursue.
From this, he knew that the other party's battle experience was much richer than Changfeng's. Even if he pursued, he would not be able to achieve much.
Hei Jin looked at the young man in front of him. Although the aura on his body was very weak, he knew how terrifying the other party was. If he did not react in time, he would have died in the other party's hands.
"Who are you? I don't think I have any enmity with you. Why are you ambushing me here?" Hei Jin decided to be polite first. As for Bing, he was definitely not the other party's match.
"Not long ago, did you cooperate with the Shura Clan to subdue a small group of people?" Gu Zheng was looking for the other party's weakness. Unfortunately, the other party was very alert. He was guarding his body.
Not long ago, companions, a small group of people. Hei Jin immediately knew that he had helped Liao Wen and subdued a small group of people. He was afraid that he had been converted by now.
Moreover, the other party knew about this, which meant that Liao Wen and the others were probably dead. Damn it, I was wondering why I felt like I was in danger. So someone was chasing after me to take revenge for that small group.
Could it be that some of his relatives were among them? Hei Jin did not know, but he knew that he would not be able to communicate with the other party.
All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He followed Gu Zheng's words and said, "No, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I was not far away from you a while ago, so I did not know what you were talking about."
Immortal Qi began to gather in his body. More and more immortal Qi gathered in his undamaged hand, waiting for orders.
Gu Zheng looked at Hei Jin's solemn and innocent face. Please don't accuse me wrongly.
If not for the fact that Gu Zheng was certain that the other party was that person, he might have been fooled by his acting.
Without further ado, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed. A sword glinting with a cold light appeared in his hand. Then, he charged over with a murderous aura.
Blue light filled the sky as it appeared beside Hei Jin's hand. Gu Zheng hurriedly stopped. Hei Jin seemed to be preparing something. Gu Zheng hoped that he wouldn't fail miserably. Gu Zheng's memories of the previous battle were still fresh in his mind.
BOOM!
A cloud of dust spread out from under Hei Jin's feet, blocking Gu Zheng's vision. What was the other party doing? Why was he doing this?
Gu Zheng's expression changed. Not good, the other party's aura was rapidly retreating. He had been tricked.
Gu Zheng did not expect the other party to start running without saying anything. He even used a camouflage technique to break through the cloud of dust. In just a short time, the other party had already escaped out of his spiritual sense's range. Fortunately, the surroundings were all bare trees. Seeing the other party's figure, Gu Zheng immediately gave chase.
Hei Jin was currently complaining. Normally, the trees would cover the sky and cover the sun. Why were they all bare trees now? His figure was completely seen by the other party. He did not even have a place to hide.
His injuries were still worsening, but he could not stop. The other party was stronger than him. The moment he stopped, he would die.
He directly ran towards the southernmost direction with all his strength, hoping that his companions would appear and help him block the other party for a moment.
Hei Jin felt that his speed was already fast enough, but he did not expect the other party to be even faster. In just half a day, he felt like he was being watched. Turning his head, he saw that the other party was already five kilometers away from him.
The time advantage that he had spent so much effort to gain was also wiped out. The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, dripping down his arm to the ground. He did not have time to treat it. If this continued, he would bleed to death before the other party could catch up to him.
He forced himself to use his right hand to press a few acupuncture points on his shoulder to slow down the bleeding. Only then did Hei Jin breathe a sigh of relief. He did not expect that the other party would close the distance again.
The scenery on both sides quickly changed. Hei Jin clenched his teeth and continued to run, but the hope in his heart was getting dimmer and dimmer.
Gu Zheng was already two kilometers away. Seeing the other party still persisting, he could not help but admire the other party. However, he would definitely die in half a day at most.
If this continued, he would definitely die in half a day. Hei Jin thought the same. As long as the other party could cross the distance of one kilometer, the other party would be able to attack him, and he would not be able to dodge at all.
As the distance got closer, Hei Jin began to burn his life force. He could see the sword light condensing on the other party's sword behind him. The moment the sword light closed in, it would be the moment of his death.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the south. It seemed to have noticed the pursuit and landed not far away from Hei Jin.
Hei Jin's eyes that were filled with despair were instantly filled with hope. He shouted, "Save me, my lord!"
However, Hei Jin, who was already holding his breath, slowed down a little when he shouted. With this pause, a sword light shot towards him from behind.
The cold aura quickly approached Hei Jin. Hei Jin knew that even if he used all his strength, he could still dodge it, but the price would be some parts of his body falling off. However, Hei Jin did not care and did not dodge.
His face was still filled with relief. As long as the other party was willing to help, this was nothing. Moreover, the other party behind him would definitely die.
However, Hei Jin, who was filled with hope, only coldly looked at him with his hands behind his back. He did not seem to have any intention of helping.
"My lord!" Hei Jin did not understand why the other party did not help him. Was the other party going to watch his clansmen die in front of him?
Unfortunately, Hei Jin did not have much time to think. The sword light was already close to him. It was too late to dodge, and Hei Jin's chest was pierced. A burst of fire surged on the sword, and his body was immediately set ablaze.
