Zuo Wuji smiled at Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng.
"They lost their fighting spirit, but there are always people who don't give up..."
"well said… "
Yan Fei's slightly low and weak voice was heard, it turned out that he had woken up now.
"Master chef, how are you?" "Brother Yan!"
"Fortunately, I am not going to die. If it were an ordinary innate warrior, he might not be able to hold on. But Yan has the Wusha Yuan Gang to protect his body. Although it is far from perfect, the wounds on his body are just superficial. His previous coma was also caused by the erosion of evil spirits. Now, with the help of herbs, the true qi has suppressed the evil spirit."
"Master, Fourth Master, both of you sit cross-legged. I will use my Qi to help you regulate your breathing."
At this time, Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng were not polite. Zuo Wuji helped Yan Fei up first, and then Lu Chengfeng also got on the bed. The two of them sat cross-legged side by side. Zuo Wuji sat behind them, putting his hands on their backs to transmit his true energy.
It has to be said that Zuo Wuji's true qi was indeed very effective in helping Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng heal their injuries. His true qi, with its own will, quickly expelled the remaining evil spirits in the two's bodies.
After a long time, Zuo Wuji finished his training. Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng looked much better than before. Then he bandaged their wounds, and even Yan Fei regained some basic mobility.
As dusk approached, Yan Fei's breathing had become stronger, which made Zuo Wuji, who had been protecting his two masters, ecstatic.
"Wuji, I have been half-conscious for the past two days. We are in a difficult situation now. We have come to a country ruled by monsters. Tell me what else you have discovered."
As Yan Fei spoke, he subconsciously reached out his hand to his side, but he grabbed nothing. The long sword that he always carried with him was gone.
Zuo Wuji smiled, picked up a hardwood stick from under the bed and handed it to Yan Fei.
"Master, just use it for now. We will definitely have to kill the monster again."
Yan Fei did not refuse and directly held the wooden stick. After trying it out casually, he put it beside him. With his martial arts level, grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be used as swords. He can even use his hands as sword fingers. However, it is definitely not as easy to use as his own magic weapon, and an inch longer and an inch stronger.
"Masters, I have been carefully observing the situation in the city these past two days and have discovered that apart from the monsters that appear on the outer city walls, there are almost no monsters or evil spirits in the city. Of course, it is also possible that they have changed and I cannot see it."
"Every evening, some people would come with carts to deliver things. The carts were filled with red-skinned fruits and vegetables covered in mud, as well as some corn cobs and beans. The people who delivered these things looked very indifferent. They seemed to be curious about us, but they never said much. I don't know when they were arrested. By the way, most of their clothes were rough and worn."
"And every time these carts delivering goods came, many desperate people in the city would go back to loot, while those delivering goods would hide far away. I once wanted to get in touch with them, but they seemed to avoid me as if I were a snake or a scorpion."
While Zuo Wuji was speaking, there was a faint sound of gong outside.
“Dangdangdang…Dangdangdang…”
Yan Fei and the others looked towards the door, while Zuo Wuji said calmly.
“Here they come.”
"Okay, let's go check it out together!"
No one said anything about taking more rest if you are weak? Although Yan Fei was seriously injured, he also had his own pride? Besides, it was no problem for him to move normally at this moment.
The three of them came out of the house and walked through the ruined alley outside. They saw more and more people running in the direction of the gong sound. Some of them were obviously warriors. When they suddenly saw Yan Fei, they paused for a moment, but did not have time to speak. They immediately ran quickly in the direction of the gong sound.
When Yan Fei and the other two arrived at the area in front of the so-called city gate, the place had already been surrounded by several circles of people inside and outside. Although it was packed with people, the three of them still struggled to squeeze in. This was not a big problem for them.
However, although there were many people around and people were talking all the time, except for the sound of the gong, the people around were very restrained and did not rush forward. Previous lessons told them that they could only go up and get the food after the gong stopped.
Cars kept coming in through the city gate. Yan Fei could see clearly that each of these cars was about the size of an ordinary farm cart. Usually one person pulled it with a rope, and two people pushed it from the left and right to maintain balance.
There were so many cars like this that it was impossible to see the end of them. Apart from the two people beating the gong in the front, more cars were entering the city from the back.
"Wuji, there are no oxen or horses to carry the cart?"
Zuo Wuji shook his head.
"Every time it's always humans pulling it, I've never seen other animals, Master, those over there are monsters!"
Zuo Wuji pursed his lips and motioned Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng to look at some people who were coming together along the city wall. In the eyes of the three, there was a faint smell of smoke on these people, and their expressions were relatively relaxed.
"Hero Yan, Hero Lu, Hero Zuo... Are you here too?"
A low voice came from the side, Yan Fei and the other two looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a big man with a beard. Next to this man, there were four or five people who were obviously together, all of them were warriors. Although Yan Fei and the other two looked at them and couldn't remember who they were, they should have seen them before, so Yan Fei and the other two nodded at them.
"Alas, there is no hope for us now. Those who are laughing must be the monster's lackeys!"
Zuo Wuji gave a reminder.
"Those are monsters."
Hearing this, several warriors suddenly became silent like ducks with their necks strangled. In their understanding, monsters that can transform into human-like appearances are extremely terrifying. It is difficult to distinguish between what is a real transformation and what is an illusion. In short, they are not something that mortals can resist.
Yan Fei snorted coldly.
"Hmph, those by the city gate are nothing. Even if I don't have a weapon in my hand, it's not difficult to kill them."
Several warriors looked at each other, obviously not quite believing it. Not to mention whether this Hero Yan could do it in his prime, he was obviously injured at the moment and his face was pale. How could he possibly deal with a monster in human form
Seeing that others didn't believe it, Yan Fei and the other two didn't explain, but continued to look over there.
"There should be twelve of them, six inside the city wall and six outside. They should be supervising the grain delivery team."
Zuo Wuji spoke by sensing the breath, and the warriors nearby looked at each other in confusion. It was a long way from here to the city gate, so how did he sense it
Lu Chengfeng moved his injured left hand, clenched his fist to feel the condition of his muscles and bones, and then said lightly.
"The three of us will work together to show the enemy that we are weak first, and then we will attack them all. As long as they can't fly, we should be able to kill them all within thirty moves."
Both their previous knowledge and their personal experience told them that not all monsters can fly, and those monsters that can fly are considered to be relatively powerful.
Zuo Wuji thought for a moment and said.
"Twenty-five moves. If you underestimate the enemy in the first three, you will definitely not be able to counterattack us. You can kill them with just one move. We will need to fight later."
"My fellow heroes, please think twice!"
"Yes, three heroes, please think twice. We are now in the country of humans and animals, which is the territory of monsters!"
Yan Fei and the other two did not care about the first half of the warriors' sentences. Moreover, they were just calculating based on the breath sensing and did not really want to take action. But when they heard the three words "human-animal country", all their attention was drawn to it.
"Human and animal country?"
Yan Fei looked intently at the man who was speaking, who nodded and pointed around.
"Those who transported the grain were not captured from our hometown like us, but their ancestors lived here. Someone successfully contacted them and said that this is a country of humans and animals, and that humans are kept as animals by demons and monsters. When they want to eat, they just choose people from among them to eat..."
"What? You treat us like animals?"
Lu Chengfeng asked in shock, and the warrior who spoke hurried to comfort him.
"Master Zuo, calm down. It is said that demons will not eat humans without restraint. They only eat humans occasionally. Moreover, demons will not appear normally. Many people will be eaten when they are about to get old. Some can live peacefully for decades, and some even die young. We are all in our prime, so we should..."
Yan Fei's face was as gloomy as water, and Zuo Wuji next to him was even more furious. His eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were grinding, and his fists were clenched tightly. The warriors who came to persuade him were so scared that they dared not say a word.
"You mean, to live a miserable life as a human or animal, waiting to be captured and eaten by monsters at any time?"
Zuo Wuji was obviously extremely angry, but his voice was calm. However, this kind of calmness sounded very scary.
At this moment, Yan Fei's heart suddenly moved, and then Zuo Wuji and Lu Chengfeng also noticed something. The three of them looked up at the sky and saw a gray cloud flying in the distance. They immediately realized that a really powerful monster was coming, and they could only suppress their anger.
However, only Yan Fei and the other two noticed this, and no one else seemed to notice it.
Of course, above the dark clouds were Lao Niu and his group, as well as several monsters under the command of King Wenyan. Looking at the densely packed people at the city gates, Lao Niu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as he sensed Yan Fei's breath.
"Brother Niu, come and take a look. This city is already packed with people, tens of thousands of them. There must be someone who can satisfy you!"
"Well, thanks to Brother Ma, how about we go to the city gate first?"
"Hahaha, so what!"
The horse demon smiled heartily, and the demon cloud fell in the city. It did not appear in front of mortals. According to the rules of the human and animal kingdom, it would not show its demonic form in front of people, and try not to scare the "animals". In this way, those "animals" would deceive themselves and even weave a beautiful lie.
Lao Niu felt somewhat guilty, and was also afraid that Yan Fei would see him let the cat out of the bag and use some tricks on him.
A group of people also came from the periphery to the city gate, looking at the crowd with a smile, and the horse monster pointed his finger directly in the direction of Yan Fei and others.
"The blood and energy in that area are particularly vigorous, and there should be many human warriors. Their meat is the most chewy and delicious. At this Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet, these top-quality meats will be caught for the kings to enjoy."
Old Niu subconsciously looked at the woman in white behind him. Seeing that she looked normal, he could only turn around and agree with Ma Yao again, but his heart was complicated.
"I didn't expect to meet Brother Yan again in such an occasion..."
