Chapter 359 After the War
Chapter 359 After the War
The three of them walked cautiously at first, but the closer they got to Tian Lin and the others, the bolder they became and the faster they walked.
Without waiting for the man with the knife to raise his knife, Tian Lin suddenly pulled the vine with the formation carved on it.
In an instant, several thunders exploded under the feet of the man with the knife and others.
There was a loud 'boom', accompanied by flying dust, and several men with knives were blown away.
Before their bodies hit the ground, another leaf fell from the sky, creating a thunderbolt that crackled and hit the man with the knife and others.
After repeated bombings, the four Qi Refiners were finally missing limbs when they landed on the ground.
It’s a pity that Tian Lin arranged the formation too hastily and failed to form a large chain formation.
Moreover, without the engraved formation stones, the Nascent Soul blood of Master Tingyu alone could not sustain this formation for too long.
So after a round of fierce bombardment, the formation was finally destroyed.
"Kill them!"
At this time, the official stood up and rushed to the man with a knife.
The man holding the knife was actually stronger than Langguan, but he was injured by the formation. His left leg was missing a part and the hand holding the knife was bloody.
He stared at the official with one eye, looking unwillingly.
The officer raised his knife and cut off the man's head, reenacting the scene of the third master's death. After all, the third master was killed by the man with the knife.
While Langguan was killing the man, Tian Lin, the second in command, and Master Tingyu were also not idle.
Some people took daggers, and some took knives.
Each of them found a fallen Qi-refining practitioner, and before the patient could get up, they stabbed or chopped him, trying their best to finish him off.
Only Master Tingyu was the weakest, and although he chose the female Qigong practitioner, since she was a Qigong practitioner, she had already made up for the weakness of women.
Therefore, Master Tingyu was unable to kill the female Qi-refining practitioner and was instead scratched on the shoulder by the female Qi-refining practitioner's sword.
At this time, the officer who killed the man with the knife came up and cut off the arm of the female cultivator holding the sword. After the female cultivator cried out in pain, she knew that she could not resist, so she begged for mercy hastily:
"Please spare my life, sir. I am willing to be your swordsman!"
The official cursed: "I can spare your life, but give me back my brother's life!"
As the knife fell, the female Qigong practitioner fell to the ground, and her head with eyes wide open rolled on the ground several times.
The smell of blood floated in the air with the wind. Looking at the mess on the ground, Langguan couldn't tell whether he felt happy or sad.
By the time they took action, the Fourth In Command had already died.
Because Tian Lin was unsure whether he could win the next battle, he did not waste his true energy on the Fourth In Command.
However, no one knew that Tian Lin's rejuvenation technique could save the Fourth Master, and even if they knew it could save the Fourth Master, it was still debatable whether Tian Lin should "waste" his true energy and use his strength against the enemy to save the Fourth Master.
"Third brother, fourth brother, we have avenged you!"
The official said this, and then his face changed.
Tian Lin, who was standing on his far left, pulled Master Tingyu and retreated to the side.
On the mountainside, I saw several vines coming out from above as quickly as long snakes.
When Tian Lin moved away, the vines wrapped around the corpse that was under Tian Lin's feet, and whipped the corpse toward the mountainside.
"These tree demons smelled blood and came to steal food."
Tian Lin said to the Second Master and the Langguan, "There is no need for us to stop them."
As they watched several bodies being wrapped up and taken away, just as one of the vines was about to wrap around the head of the man with a knife, the official cut the vine with a knife and took the head away.
After the vine was cut off, it did not fight with Langguan. After all, this place was too far away from its main body, and the tree demon would not stop until it could hit it.
On Tian Lin's side, he also protected the body of the fourth in command.
The vines came and went quickly, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. The intestines and stomachs of the corpses were all swept away by the vines.
"Old Four's body will be cremated tonight. Now that it's still light, go gather those mortals!"
After Langguan felt sad, he immediately made arrangements.
He took the head of the man with the knife and ran towards the group of mortals who had fainted earlier.
What relieved everyone was that although those mortals were sleeping soundly, they were completely defenseless of their surroundings.
Fortunately, they did not attract the attention of the tree monster on the mountainside, so everyone was safe and sound.
The poison powder that the fourth boss put in the pond water was not fatal, but the effect of knocking people out was extremely powerful.
The previous melee was quite violent.
Not only did the previous battle fail to wake up these mortals, even at this moment, Master Tingyu could not wake up these people who were still sleeping soundly even when he kicked and whipped them.
"It's really dangerous here. Let's gather some food and take them down to the foot of the mountain!"
After the official finished speaking, Tian Lin and the second in command went to collect the food.
On a small cart, two men dug out two bags of grain.
Two bags of food may seem like a lot, but they are actually not enough to feed these twenty or so people for a few days.
What is even more troubling is that although there are trees everywhere on this mountain, these trees are poisonous and the fruits they bear are not edible.
Therefore, if they want these mortals to help them mine, they must find a way to solve their food problem.
And since it is physical work, the food ration must not be less.
"Haha, there's meat in this bag!"
On another cart, Master Tingyu pulled out a few pieces of clothes and saw a sack of dried meat under the clothes.
But soon his laughter stopped, and he said to Tian Lin and others who were looking at him: "Damn, these beasts, I don't know where this dried human flesh came from."
It is difficult to tell the source of the dried meat slices, but there is a child's severed hand among them. How could Master Tingyu not guess that the meat was cut from a human body?
"Throw away the meat!"
As soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, the second in command said, "The meat cannot be thrown away."
Master Tingyu also said: "We don't eat human flesh, but we can use it to feed these mortals. This way, it will be easier to solve the problem of food for these mortals in the future."
Tian Lin frowned slightly, and the second in command beside him comforted Tian Lin: "These mortals have survived until now, and I'm afraid they have eaten a lot of their own kind; they are already used to it and don't care about the source of the meat;
Besides, if we give them the meat, they will only be grateful to us, not hate us."
I have to say that what the second in command said does make sense.
If we don't give these mortals food, they will eventually starve to death. When faced with two evils, choose the lesser of two evils?
Besides, we will have to rely on these mortals to mine in the future. Can we let them go hungry?
"Leave the food to us and the meat to them. As long as we can survive this period and obtain the spirit stones, our lives will be better in the future."
The official made the final decision, so when Tian Lin and the others took the food and the mortals down the mountain, they also took the bag of dried meat down the mountain.
