However, the human body has its limits. When the two returned to the place where the man and the bear fought, Hou Zhenghao probably couldn't hold on any longer and sat on a rock to rest for a long time.

"Don't push yourself too hard, just rest here for the night. The shack we built before is still here anyway."

Without waiting for Hou Zhenghao's reply, Zhou Wu began gathering firewood around the area. It was too cold at night, and a campfire would not only ward off the cold but also drive away wild animals.

Zhou Wu didn't want a repeat of last night's situation.

"Holy crap, he really died."

Zhou Wu, who was gathering firewood, discovered the carcass of the polar bear nearby. It had indeed been beaten to death by Hou Zhenghao.

"It's so brutal."

After lighting the campfire, Zhou Wu went to the polar bear carcass. He planned to cut off its fur, as it was impossible to escape anytime soon. As they got closer to the Arctic, his sheepskin coat wouldn't be enough to keep him warm.

Polar bear fur is different; it's a lifesaver for keeping warm. You can also bring bear meat along, since it's freezing cold and you can't always catch animals.

"You're usually the laziest person, so why are you skinning a bear now?"

"The weather is getting colder and colder. Unlike you, I don't have internal energy to protect me from the cold."

There was only one bearskin, and it couldn't be hidden forever. So Zhou Wu could only try to flatter Hou Zhenghao indirectly, hoping that the other party wouldn't lower his dignity to try and steal his bearskin.

"Internal strength, that's all lies made up by wandering knights in the martial arts world. However, people who practice martial arts do have a kind of energy in their bodies, which can ensure that their bodies are stronger than ordinary people."

When it came to martial arts, Hou Zhenghao seemed to be in a much better mood.

When we peeled off the bear skin, we found it to be thick and heavy; there was probably enough material to make a coat.

"Make a pair of gloves and shoes, hmm, perfect."

Zhou Wu didn't even consider Hou Zhenghao.

. . . . .

The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Wu was woken up by Hou Zhenghao.

"Brother, it's not even dawn yet."

"We've wasted too much time earlier, and we need to hurry on our way now. We can't wait until it's fully light to set off."

Zhou Wu couldn't beat Hou Zhenghao, so even though he was furious, he had no choice but to listen to him.

The only good news is that the outfit made of polar bear skin is indeed very warm, and Zhou Wu doesn't feel the slightest bit of cold now.

"Wait a minute, I need to pee."

Zhou Wu arrived at a grove of trees, intending to relieve himself.

"Those are footprints!"

Indeed, Zhou Wu found footprints in the woods that did not belong to him or Hou Zhenghao.

"Are there other people here?"

Zhou Wu muttered to himself, afraid that Hou Zhenghao would hear him.

Seeing the footprints, Zhou Wu felt a surge of hope; as long as there were people around, he would have a chance to be rescued.

"Have you finished peeing?"

"Alright, alright, you're even urging me to pee? You're amazing. Use your internal energy to digest it, don't pee."

Knowing that the other party would not make a move against him for the time being, Zhou Wu was now extremely arrogant.

In his search for traces of people nearby, Zhou Wu kept urinating, eating, and defecating along the way—he used every excuse he could think of to linger a little longer. However, to his disappointment, apart from the footprint he found that morning, there were no other clues whatsoever.

What Zhou Wu didn't know was that a group of people had been following them in the nearby woods.

"It's getting dark, let's find a place to spend the night."

"Ah."

Hou Zhenghao's injuries showed no signs of recovery, and there were faint signs of frostbite on many parts of his body. However, Hou Zhenghao kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. Zhou Wu could see it, of course, but the more Hou Zhenghao endured it, the more advantageous it was for Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu was starting a fire, preparing to roast some bear meat for dinner.

"I'm going to pee."

Zhou Wu naturally prepared dinner. Hou Zhenghao had never touched a meal in his life. Since he had nothing else to do, he got up and prepared to find a place to relieve himself.

"You were criticizing me during the day. Why don't you absorb it with your internal energy? It's such a waste to pee it out."

Zhou Wu finally found an opportunity, and his mouth started babbling away like a machine gun.

Hou Zhenghao deliberately walked a long way in order to get some peace and quiet.

After Zhou Wu could no longer see the other person, he stopped talking. It was cold, and talking too much would make his throat feel cold.

"what sound!"

Zhou Wu seemed to hear the sounds of fighting, which sounded like they were coming from where Hou Zhenghao was urinating.

Zhou Wu instinctively wanted to turn and run, but driven by curiosity, he wanted to see who was fighting with Hou Zhenghao.

I cautiously crept over, not daring to get too close. I was shocked to see that Hou Zhenghao was fighting with a group of savages.

Moreover, although these savages fought without any strategy, each of them was as strong as an ox and had the advantage of numbers, so Hou Zhenghao couldn't do anything to them for the time being.

"If we don't run now, when will we?"

Zhou Wu immediately turned and ran away, unaware that several people had surrounded him from behind.

"Surrender! I surrender!"

Zhou Wu raised his hand high, not caring whether the savages could hear him or not. But unlike Hou Zhenghao's group, the savages surrounding Zhou Wu clearly did not attack; they just stared blankly at him.

While the fighting was raging over there, Zhou Wu was also trying to communicate with the savages.

“I am a law-abiding citizen, very much so.”

"Damn it, I don't understand."

"If you want to fight or kill, just give me a quick death."

When Zhou Wu turned to look at Hou Zhenghao, they had already been tied up by the savages.

"This is really the end. Curiosity killed the cat. Why did I even have to come and take a look?"

It was too late for regrets. Zhou Wu had no choice but to follow the savages. Fortunately, he was treated better than Hou Zhenghao and wasn't tied up like prey.

. . . . .

The savage tribe was in a huge cave. As soon as Zhou Wu entered the cave, he could clearly feel that the temperature inside was much higher than outside.

"This is strange, why is it so hot here?"

"You noticed it too?"

"Nonsense, I'm wearing a bear coat, I noticed it before you did, I'm dying of heat."

No wonder these savages only wore animal skins in the cave; Zhou Wu was already sweating.

The cave was quite large. Zhou Wu roughly counted, and there were at least a hundred wild men.

"You were bragging about how strong you were, so how come you couldn't even beat a few savages?"

"Hmph, if I hadn't been injured fighting the polar bear, would I have given these savages a second thought?"

"Oh my, come on, you're bragging again. Can't you live without bragging?"

"Humph!"

Hou Zhenghao knew he couldn't win an argument, so he stopped talking.

"You're pretending to be a meditating monk, hurry up and think of a way!"

"Shut up, I'm thinking about it."

Hou Zhenghao was even more anxious than Zhou Wu. He was a man who wanted to become an immortal, and if he died at the hands of a group of uncivilized savages, it would be a disgrace for him for the rest of his life.
