58: Chapter 58 Drugging, Seven Days and Seven Nights of Madness...

Facing the angry curses of the crowd, Qin Feng turned a completely deaf ear.

His gaze was not on the Golden-Eyed White Tiger, which had already been battered and scarred by the siege.

His deep, black eyes were carefully scanning the dark corners around the Luanzang Mountain Range rocky forest, attempting to find traces of the ice spirit grass. Since Yang Liu said it might be here, he would never let a single clue slip by.

However, after observing for a long time, he did not discover any clues in the surroundings.

Just at this moment, accompanied by a hysterical roar from Captain Luo Kun: "Die for me!!!"

Captain Luo Kun, ignoring the sharp claws the Golden-Eyed White Tiger had dug into his chest, raised his horse-chopping saber with both hands, unleashing twelve times his strength, and slashed viciously at the neck of the Golden-Eyed White Tiger.

"Splurt!" Blood shot into the sky like a fountain. The Golden-Eyed White Tiger let out a shrill, mournful cry, its massive body collapsed with a crash, and after twitching a few times, it completely ceased all movement.

"Hoo... hoo..." Captain Luo Kun leaned on his horse-chopping saber, panting heavily. A claw mark on his chest, deep enough to see bone, was seeping blood.

The remaining guards also collapsed onto the ground, all injured, but looking at the huge corpse of the Golden-Eyed White Tiger, their eyes revealed expressions of wild joy.

"Hahaha, a half-step Tier 2 Yao Beast, we've struck it rich this time!" Monkey was so excited his face turned bright red.

Captain Luo Kun grinned, pulled a hemostatic pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth, then waved his hand: "Well done, brothers. Quickly dismember the corpse, take the Yao Beast core and the tiger skin, we are preparing to return!"

Just as everyone thought the mission was successfully completed and were preparing to go forward to collect the spoils, "Clap! Clap! Clap!" A sudden sound of applause rang out from the other side of the rocky forest.

Immediately following, accompanied by an extremely arrogant sneer: "Captain Luo Kun, well done. This tiger has saved me a lot of effort."

There was a rustling sound in the woods, and immediately after, over a dozen figures wearing dark gray uniforms with faces full of Evil Qi emerged like ghosts from all directions, directly surrounding the Ninth Squad.

The person in the lead was a thin, middle-aged man with cold eyes. He was toying with two poison-quenched, dark blue daggers in his hands, a bloodthirsty, ferocious grin hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the newcomer, Captain Luo Kun's expression instantly turned gloomy to the extreme, and he spat out a name through gritted teeth: "Zhang Zhongjiu!"

The entire Ninth Squad guards were also on high alert, one after another gripping their weapons tightly.

Zhang Zhongjiu, the captain of the 665 Servant District guard team, was also at the Peak of Mortal Stage 9, famous for being ruthless and cruel, a man who would devour you without spitting out the bones.

The two jurisdictions bordered each other, and in their daily struggle for resources, open strife and veiled struggles had never ceased.

"Zhang Zhongjiu, what is the meaning of this?" Captain Luo Kun's eyes widened in anger, and his Qi and blood surged again.

"What is the meaning? What do you think I mean?!" Zhang Zhongjiu laughed coldly, pointing his dagger at the Golden-Eyed White Tiger corpse on the ground: "We discovered the Golden-Eyed White Tiger first, and have been tracking it all the way here, so this thing should be ours."

"Bullshit!" Monkey couldn't help but curse, "We killed this by risking our lives, you, Zhang Zhongjiu, want to pick up the ready-made spoils? Dream on!"

"Noisy!" Zhang Zhongjiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and one of the dark blue daggers in his hand flew out like lightning!

"Splurt!" Monkey didn't even have a chance to react; his thigh was pierced through by the dagger, and he fell to his knees with a scream.

"Zhang Zhongjiu, you go too far, I'll slaughter you!" Captain Luo Kun's eyes were blood-red, and he completely fell into a berserk state.

He lifted his horse-chopping saber, ignoring the heavy injury on his chest, and slashed over with a heavy blow.

"Brothers, kill them for me, leave none alive! The white tiger is ours!" Zhang Zhongjiu also shouted sharply, drew his other dagger, and charged towards Captain Luo Kun.

"Kill!" Over a dozen guards from District 665, who had been resting and had abundant Qi and blood, rushed towards the Ninth Squad, who were already injured and exhausted, like hungry wolves pouncing on food.

Both sides instantly erupted into a fierce conflict, with blade light and sword shadows, and flesh and blood flying.

In the Luanzang Mountain Range, where there is no law to speak of, as long as everyone is killed, no one will know what happened.

The scene instantly fell into extreme chaos. The Ninth Squad members were already physically exhausted, and facing enemies who had the advantage in numbers and condition, it was almost a one-sided slaughter, and the team was instantly scattered.

Lin Yuxi, who had been hiding in the tree, looked at the tragic scene below with a pale face. She bit her red lips and pulled the bowstring desperately, attempting to cover Captain Luo Kun.

However, just as she loosed an arrow, "Whoosh—!" A vicious cold arrow shot out silently from the dense forest behind her.

"Ah!" Lin Yuxi let out a painful, delicate cry, and she fell from the tree branch. That pitch-black, foul-smelling poison arrow was nailed firmly into her snow-white right shoulder.

"Yuxi!!!" Captain Luo Kun, who was being tightly entangled by Zhang Zhongjiu, caught a glimpse of his wife being hit by the arrow and falling out of the corner of his eye, his eyes splitting in anger, and his voice even cracked.

He swung his horse-chopping saber frantically, paying the price of taking another slash from Zhang Zhongjiu, forcibly pushing the opponent back, and roared towards the perimeter: "Take my wife and go, hurry and go!!!"

In the midst of the melee, Qin Feng, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines and drifting on the edge of the battlefield, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not hesitate in the slightest; his figure was like a black ghost, and he instantly unleashed "Clear Wind Shadow" to rush to the position where Lin Yuxi had fallen.

He caught Lin Yuxi, who was falling in mid-air, firmly in his arms.

"Ngh..." Falling into a broad, solid embrace, Lin Yuxi weakly opened her eyes. Seeing that chiseled side profile, and that familiar scent that made her whole body go numb, a trace of incredulity flashed in her eyes.

"Hold on tight." Qin Feng had no superfluous nonsense; his voice brooked no doubt.

He wrapped one arm around Lin Yuxi's slender, willow-like waist, stepped with his feet, and the whole person shot towards the depths of the dense forest like an arrow from a string.

"Damn! Protect the sister-in-law, let's retreat too!" On the other side, seeing that the situation was lost, Monkey (dragging his injured leg) and Liu the Scar also gave up resistance without hesitation, scrambling and rolling as they sprinted in the direction of Qin Feng's escape.

"Ignore those pieces of trash, kill Captain Luo Kun first, the white tiger corpse is the most important thing." Behind them came the cold roar of Zhang Zhongjiu, accompanied by the desperate and tragic sounds of Captain Luo Kun's fighting, which were gradually covered by the dense forest.

...

The sky gradually darkened. The night in the Luanzang Mountain Range was a hundred times more dangerous than the day, with all kinds of eerie beast roars rising one after another.

Qin Feng carried Lin Yuxi and traveled through the jungle for dozens of miles, finally stopping in a very hidden, deep, and secluded canyon.

Inside the canyon, there was only a babbling stream, surrounded by moss and strange rocks; it was temporarily safe.

Not long after, the panting and disheveled Monkey and Liu the Scar also stumbled in, following the tracks.

"Damn it... tired... tired to death..." Monkey collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

Night fell, and it was pitch black inside the canyon. Qin Feng expressionlessly started a campfire under a sheltered rock.

The leaping firelight illuminated Lin Yuxi's paper-white, pretty face. She leaned against the cold rock, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

The shaft of the poison arrow on her right shoulder had already been broken by Qin Feng, but the skin around the wound had turned a horrifying purple-black, and the toxin was constantly spreading along with her Qi and blood.

"Qin... Brother Qin... help me get some clear water..." Lin Yuxi gasped weakly, her forehead covered in fine beads of cold sweat.

She knew that if she could not clean the wound and force out the poisoned blood as soon as possible, she would undoubtedly die tonight.

Nodding slightly, Qin Feng did not speak; he filled a clean bamboo tube with water from the stream and handed it over.

Lin Yuxi bit her pale red lips, trembling as she extended her left hand to laboriously undo the buttons of her cyan leather armor.

That exquisite collarbone, and the heart-stopping curves even despite the heavy injury, under the reflection of the firelight, radiated an extreme charm.

She used the clear water to clean the black poisoned blood flowing from the wound bit by bit; the intense pain made her unable to help but let out low moans, and a few pitiful teardrops slid from the corners of her eyes.

Qin Feng sat opposite the campfire, his deep black eyes just calmly watching this scene, without taking the initiative to come forward to help.

However, this scene of beautiful scenery fell without reservation into the eyes of Monkey and Liu the Scar, who were hiding in the shadows not far away.

The two huddled together, their eyes fixed on Lin Yuxi's graceful, delicate body, their Adam's apples rolling up and down frantically.

"Gulp..." Liu the Scar swallowed hard, the fear in his eyes long ago replaced by a raging evil fire: "Monkey... did you see that? That figure... that skin... no wonder Captain Luo Kun treats her like a treasure..."

Monkey's breathing was also rapid, his eyes flashing with a greedy and lecherous light like a hungry wolf.

He lowered his voice and said viciously: "Captain Luo Kun must have already been hacked into meat paste by Zhang Zhongjiu; this woman is now ownerless. In this wilderness canyon, it's simply a god-given opportunity!"

As he spoke, Monkey carefully took a pink paper packet out of his bosom. In the dim light, the paper packet emitted a sweet, cloying scent that made one's Qi and blood surge.

"Hehe, it just so happens that I have a packet of top-grade medicine that I've treasured for a long time, called 'Crazy for Seven Days and Seven Nights'!"
