Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 211 Who doesn’t have a hobby?
Wei Xi smiled coldly, picked up the bundle of firewood in a casual manner, left the embers behind and returned to the cart.

"What nonsense are you talking about here?" Qin Feng said with disgust. "You're beating around the bush. Who knows what you're talking about?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed," Yu Jin smacked his lips, "Be more subtle, my life is also my life!"

Now Qin Feng was too lazy to say anything more to him and walked back carrying the firewood he had picked up.

The sky quickly coated the mountains and forests with an indelible ink color, and from afar one could see a fire that seemed to be burning through the sky.

Wei Xi and Fei Yangxu kept the fire burning brightly because they took the lead in opposing the mermaids' plan to use unconscious people as bait.

Everyone knew that there would be no peace in the mountains tonight.

The two monks from the Tunhai Sect suggested: use the wounded on the cart to bleed and attract potential monsters, and those who are able to move can wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The mermaids of the Swallowing Sea Sect are more like elite soldiers of the underwater mermaid tribe than cultivators. In their simple minds, using the corpses of their own people to lure and kill their natural enemies is a common thing.

This approach was fine from their point of view, but the remaining monks could not accept it.

Wei Xi thought that after all, these five fellow Taoists were still alive, and the situation was not so critical that they should not care about the lives of others.

The mermaids were very dissatisfied, thinking that the animals on the ground had lost their minds and were resting against the huge rocks that were used for shelter.

Perhaps because they lost their greatest support, spiritual power, the team has been a little sluggish. Now that the bonfire is burning, they feel a little better.

Qin Feng was tending to the wounds. Although the medicine he had applied earlier wasn't working, the cultivator's strong physique was doing the trick. While the wounds, which looked visibly piercing, hadn't healed, the bleeding had at least stopped. The men's breathing, though weak, was stabilizing.

This made Qin Feng feel a little relieved. Although the most seriously injured female cultivator in red had a high fever, at least these five people did not bleed to death because she chose to protect herself.

Qin Feng did some simple cleaning on the unconscious person, then took out some brown sugar from his Qiankun bag, made some sugar water by the fire, and fed it to the unconscious people one by one.

Wang Xin and Yu Jin were in the second shift and had already gone to bed.

Through the flickering flames, Wei Xi and Fei Yangxu could see the solemnity on each other's faces. They both knew in their hearts that they had probably been tricked by the Devouring Beast from the beginning.

Wei Xi moved her sore arms, and while her teammates were asleep, she took the initiative to communicate with them.

"If we continue to be led by the nose, I'm afraid we will become snacks for monsters..."

Fei Yangxu's face was filled with worry. "That's true, but if even the Zhenhai Sect can't solve this problem, what else can we do now?"

Wei Xi raised an eyebrow: This person seems to know something.

"The people from Zhenhai Sect might not know," Wei Xi said nonchalantly, his eyes always observing the other party's expression, "otherwise why would they let us disciples in?"

Fei Yangxu sighed, "Silly Junior Sister, you don't really think that the elder who gave us the burden is from the Zhenhai Sect, right?"

"Based on the current situation, the so-called elder is most likely the incarnation of a demon beast."

Wei Xi's acting skills exploded, his eyes widened as if he was frightened, "...this...don't scare me, how could such a big living person be fake? Do you know something?"

"Some things, no matter how you try to cover them up, will always leave traces," Fei Yangxu said, stirring up his anger. "I have a fellow villager in the Zhenhai Sect. I specially went to have a drink with him for this trial."

"He's not a good drinker. After a few bowls of wine, he'll blurt out anything." "Just this time, as soon as I mentioned the trial field, he sobered up and stared at me straight in the eyes," Fei Yangxu shuddered, "as if he wanted to rip my mouth apart."

"Fortunately, it was only for a moment, and he started drinking again afterward. This time, his attitude was much better. He tried to tell me about the training ground, but he wouldn't say more."

"However, the Zhenhai Sect's trial field hasn't been used for ten years. It's said that the Zhenhai Sect lost a group of people there, and then it was completely shelved."

"After that, the Zhenhai Sect became extremely secretive about their trial grounds and prohibited any disciples from entering."

Wei Xi no longer pretended, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Although Fei Yangxu's story highly overlaps with the information Wei Xi already has, it also indirectly reflects the anxiety of the Zhenhai Sect.

This made Wei Xi even more confused: What exactly does Zhenhai Sect want to do?
"Friend Wei," Fei Yangxu, who had recovered from his shock, sent a friend request. "That fellow villager, after much persuasion from me, told me to tell the truth. Only by telling the truth can I escape unscathed."

Among the information Wei Xi received, only the one about not talking too much was not verified, and what Fei Yangxu mentioned was very likely related to this clue.

The two are now tied to the same rope, and Fei Yangxu has no motive to lie to Wei Xi.

Wei Xi forced a creepy smile, "Originally, I was still wondering how to deal with this monster, but now I have some idea."

Looking at Junior Sister Wei's fierce eyes, Fei Yangxu secretly reminded himself not to provoke women.

The two of them chatted back and forth, and it was time to change shifts.

Wei Xi, with his mind full of questions, curled up by the fire and fell asleep soon.

Wei Xi felt a strong sense of malice in her sleep, and the next second she jumped from the crossbow she was holding onto the boulder and started attacking the attacker.

The ones who attacked them were a group of masked strong men. Logically, they should have been able to capture the eight people from Wei Xi, as the advantage lay in the number of twenty or so strong men.

Unfortunately, even with the monk's abilities restricted, it wasn't an easy fight for the other side. Furthermore, there were two ferocious mermaids, a war maniac proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and a sharpshooter...

Among the twenty or so masked men, only two "survived" in the end, and the rest were attacked and lost their ability to move.

Wei Xi frowned. He had thought that he could fight the monster head-on today, but he didn't expect that this beast was so cunning and tried to hide to avoid a direct confrontation.

"This is someone I know," Qin Feng said as he pulled off the mask of one of the corpses. "He's quite resilient, chasing after me and asking for death!"

Wei Xi took the mask and glanced at the person on the ground. It turned out to be the strong man in the town who had been opened up by her.

"My goodness, these zombies can chase us this far," Yu Jin said, clutching his chest. "It's really frightening!"

Yu Jin's affectation immediately turned into astonishment: Wei Xi tied up a twitching "corpse" with a rope, slipped a dagger from his sleeve, and started cutting it up. His movements were so skillful that it was jaw-dropping.

"You..." Seeing Wei Xi cut off the limbs of the "corpse" cleanly with a dagger, Yu Jin felt that he had lost the ability to speak.

"This is a little hobby of mine," Wei Xi said, thrusting the cut section towards the embers. "Look at the fruits of my labor!"

Amidst the blue flesh of the wandering corpse were metal parts that gleamed with a cold light.
