Ye Li reacted belatedly and quickly stood up, saying with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, Boss Xuan. I was so excited that I pressured you!"

Zhan Xuan frowned and suddenly felt his throat tighten.

He didn't understand what this feeling was, so he quickly diverted his attention.

By the light of the fire burning in the cave, he saw that Ye Li's face was extremely pale.

He subconsciously asked: "Are you injured too?"

Ye Li quickly shook his head: "No, you protected me very well. When I fell off the cliff, you were the one who provided the cushion for me!"

Zhan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not injured, it would be fine. He was too weak and he didn't want to see him in pain.

Maybe because he had just woken up, Zhan Xuan felt hungry.

He asked hoarsely, "Ali, is there anything to eat? What's the situation outside now? Do you know?"

When Ye Li heard his words, he suddenly looked a little flustered.

He quickly replied, "Yes, I caught an unlucky pheasant at the entrance of the cave yesterday. I ate its meat, and I left some chicken blood. Can I bring it out for you to drink?"

Although Zhan Xuan didn't want to drink, he also understood that the current conditions were bad and he really had no right to be picky.

He nodded: "Okay, go get it for me!"

Ye Li stood up and left. Soon, he staggered and used a broad leaf to scoop up a lot of blood to his mouth.

The strong smell of blood spread to the tip of Zhan Xuan's nose, causing his pupils to shrink violently.

He suddenly grasped Ye Li's wrist and said, "Ye Li, you are so brave! Do you think I, Zhan Xuan, can't tell the difference between chicken blood and human blood?"

"Ah!" Ye Li let out a short cry of pain.

Zhan Xuan subconsciously let go and saw that there were many scratches on his slender wrist. They were all new wounds. It was obvious that he had fed him blood more than once or twice.

Zhan Xuan was greatly shocked, and there was a fire in his heart that couldn't dissipate at all.

In a panic, he pulled him tightly into his arms and said, "Why are you so foolish? Why are you using your own blood to save me? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Ye Li's tears rolled down his cheeks. "Boss Xuan, there are barbarian soldiers patrolling outside the cave every day, and there are vicious wolves lurking around at night. I dare not go out, but you are very thirsty. The only way I can think of is to feed you with blood. I know that as long as you are alive, I will not die!"

Zhan Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted hoarsely: "You are such a fool, little fool, I order you not to do this again in the future, do you hear me?"

Ye Li nodded hurriedly: "I've got it in mind, but don't waste the blood. Drink it up quickly, okay?"

How could Zhan Xuan still dare to drink? He was so distressed that he couldn't bear it any more.

Fortunately, his body had recovered a lot by the afternoon. Although his ribs still hurt a lot, he was able to walk back and forth.

He brought Ye Li to the edge of the cave, and sure enough, he saw a lot of vicious wolves circling around.

Zhan Xuan frowned. "These beasts must have been attracted by the smell of blood. Ah Li, we have to lure one over here so we can fill our stomachs!"

Ye Li swallowed hard, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then please, Boss Xuan, push me out. I'll be the bait!"

Zhan Xuan was stunned at first, then he patted his head: "What are you talking about? In your eyes, is your boss Xuan so cruel? Using you as bait? I would rather starve to death!"

Ye Li muttered: "How do we attract it?"

Zhan Xuan said, "Isn't there still blood? Bring it here, I'll sprinkle the most powerful drug in it and see if the wolf will faint after eating it!"

Ye Li followed his order and quickly sprinkled the blood mixed with the sleeping drug through the cracks in the stone.

The wolf had a very sensitive nose. After smelling the scent, it immediately pounced on us, howling.

Its tongue licked the ground back and forth, and in just a moment, it had licked the blood clean.

It was still not satisfied, and its big head with a strong and unpleasant smell kept hitting the stone blocking the entrance of the cave.

Ye Li's voice was unsteady with fear. He spoke with difficulty, "Boss Xuan, will it break through the rocks and rush in? If it does, the two of us will be doomed and will be eaten by the wolf!"

Zhan Xuan shook his head: "No, this stone is very solid. If it could be broken, why would it wait until now?"

He admired Ye Li for being able to find such a hiding place. The gap was so small that only two people could fit through it. Anyone taller or stronger would not be able to fit in.

About half an hour passed, and Zhan Xuan had lost his patience.

He even started to wonder if the drug had lost its effect. Why hadn't the wolf fainted yet?

Just when he was confused, a loud bang suddenly came from his ears.

The wolf fell to the ground, his head covered in blood. It was unclear whether he was knocked unconscious or fainted.

Zhan Xuan did not dare to delay and immediately got out and killed and dismembered it with swift movements.

In just a moment, many vicious wolves were attracted to surround this place.

Ye Li was so scared that he almost cried. He urged anxiously: "Boss Xuan, come back quickly. A little food is enough. Don't dawdle any longer!"

Zhan Xuan didn't think so. He didn't know how long he would have to hide in this cave, so he had to store more food.

Almost as soon as he pushed the last wolf leg into the cave, several vicious wolves behind him pounced on him.

He quickly climbed into the cave and blocked the entrance with small stones.

"Bang!" Several sounds of things falling to the ground were heard outside.

Zhan Xuan laughed triumphantly: "They can see it, but they can't eat it. I'm afraid they'll be mad to death!"

This smile touched the wound, causing him to frown and inhale repeatedly in pain.

Ye Li grunted as he finished moving all the wolf's parts. Then he washed his hands and walked over to him and asked, "How are you? Are you still in pain? Do you want to lie down by the stone wall for a while?"

Zhan Xuan didn't want to lie down, he had to deal with the wolf meat quickly.

He first roasted a few pieces of meat for Ye Li with branches, telling him to replenish his strength quickly, otherwise, he would collapse after losing so much blood in the past few days.

Ye Li ate with gusto, and his originally pale face actually became rosy.

He subconsciously praised: "Boss Xuan, it has to be you, otherwise I would still be starving!"

When Zhan Xuan saw him like this, he felt very guilty.

He apologized hoarsely, "Ali, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of you. I promised Ye Qian before that I would take good care of you, but when we came to the Northwest Military Camp, I actually put you in danger again and again. I don't deserve to be your Xuan Boss!"

Ye Li quickly stuffed a piece of wolf meat into his mouth and said, "Don't say such polite words. I came to the Northwest Army Camp on my own initiative. I am already very grateful that you can accompany me. No matter what dangers we encounter, they are all tests given by God. No one can take care of anyone else because we are good brothers!"
