The girl was taken aback. Only after Li Qing lifted her up did she realize that her body was indeed much lighter and stronger.

"Feel it carefully, is there a cool sensation moving inside your body?"

The girl looked at Li Qing with a puzzled expression. Her mind was focused on herself, and she could feel a cool sensation circulating through her body.

The place where the breath flows feels incredibly comfortable!

Li Linzhi tried to concentrate and control the flowing energy, but without exception, she failed.

She looked at Li Qing with a face full of confusion.

Don't look at me like that, I don't know what happened either!

"However, do you feel that the things inside our bodies are similar to the Taoist internal energy you mentioned last time?"

"But I don't know any Taoist cultivation methods—" The girl looked at Li Qing with suspicion and disbelief.

Li Qing looked at the girl in front of him, whose head was full of question marks, and was speechless.

"How would I know? Could it be that we..." Before he could finish speaking, Li Qing subconsciously glanced at the girl's slightly swollen, bright red, and alluring lips, then stuck out his tongue and licked his own lips, as if savoring something.

The girl blushed as she looked at Li Qing and turned her head away.

Li Qing didn't think about all that.

He reached into his pocket and produced a small, handleless knife.

With his eyes fixed on the furtive little creature more than ten meters away, his hand trembled, and a streak of silver light flashed—

"Bang!"

A soft sound.

The girl turned her head and saw a squirrel leaping in the air being pierced through the head by a throwing knife and pinned to a thick tree trunk.

"What do you think about using my throwing knife skills to cause trouble for those thugs?"

When Li Qing mentioned the murderer, the girl's expression changed drastically. Looking at the flames rising across the lake, her face was filled with hatred!

"Your grandfather might not be dead yet, if we go back now!"

Since Li Qing regained his internal energy, when he held the throwing knife again, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable surge of confidence and courage!

It's the feeling of having your life in your own hands!

The girl's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.

Li Qing's throwing knife skills are impressive, but his range is limited, and he only has two knives. If he makes a mistake or is caught in close combat, things could get very difficult...

Looking at the girl's appearance, Li Qing was speechless and even more helpless.

Unexpectedly, Li Linzhi, who had just experienced a major upheaval, was even more rational than him!

Shouldn't we be shouting to fight the enemy to the death?

***

The girl was much more mature than Li Qing had imagined.

When Li Linzhi was a few years old, her parents were killed, and she and her grandfather fled from the pursuit of their enemies.

She understands the principle of "where there's life, there's hope" better than most people!

I will never take a risk unless I am 70 or 80% sure!

But now, let alone whether Grandpa is still alive, even if he is, with Li Qing's throwing knife, the chance of success is less than 10%, and going there would be a pointless loss of life.

The girl was unaware of the strange feeling Li Qing experienced the moment he held the throwing knife.

She took Li Qing's hand and started walking deeper into the woods.

“If you’re not going, then I’ll go alone!” Li Qing said, touching the throwing knife in his hand.

He killed two people with a throwing knife, and even if he couldn't defeat the remaining one, he believed he could escape by using the lake water in front of him.

In his previous life, he was a shut-in who ate grass for decades and always swallowed his anger. Now, God has given him a second chance at life and has also given him the means to protect himself, so that he no longer wants to continue living such a cowardly life!

Of course, and very importantly, after spending this time together, although the old man was rather serious and didn't like to talk much, he had taken good care of him, which made him very grateful! He was unwilling to just run away for his life.

"I am coming too!"

Li Linzhi looked at Li Qing, a resolute look in her eyes!

The reason she fled with hatred was not only because of her own and her grandfather's expectations, but also because of the person beside her.

Li Linzhi held Li Qing's hand.

"Don't worry, we're not going to our deaths. I have confidence in my throwing knives! Even if we fail, we can escape with our lives using this lake!" Li Qing said to the girl.

The girl looked at the still turbulent lake before her, and most of the worry in her eyes disappeared.

***

On the slope, a raging fire rose up, illuminating the surrounding area with a shimmering red glow!

The three sat together, eating barbecue, occasionally grumbling and occasionally glancing at the small lake below the slope, a hint of fear and apprehension in their eyes.

Beside them, a person was bound by a thick hemp rope, their body curled up and motionless, their fate unknown.

Li Qing and Li Linzhi quietly approached the thatched hut, but after getting more than ten meters away, they dared not go any further, as the slope was too wide and there was nowhere to hide.

Li Linzhi looked at the old figure curled up on the ground a little further away from the fire, her eyes glistening with tears.

She turned her head and looked at Li Qing, as if asking him what to do.

Li Qing looked around and found there was nowhere to hide. To make his throwing knife kill in one strike, it had to be within ten meters.

"Hey, you three!"

Li Linzhi was stunned when she saw Li Qing standing up and shouting.

Upon hearing the sound, the three fierce men sitting by the fire gripped the weapons beside them and turned to look.

"What are you looking at, you three idiots! Get over here!" Li Qing pointed at the three of them and shouted like a servant.

The three burly men were stunned by Li Qing's shout, and then they came to their senses.

"Damn it! If I don't skin you alive and eat your flesh today, I'm not a true Indian!"

"Who's called Ah Si?!"

"Me!" a burly man next to him replied dumbfounded, his face full of confusion. "How did you know my name is Ah Si?"

"What a lousy idiot, everyone knows that!" Although Li Qing hated him to death, he was amused by the fierce man's words—there really were such extreme cases!

Before Li Qing could say anything more, and ignoring the still confused 'A-Si', 'A-San' charged forward with a knife in a fit of rage.

The burly, silent man standing nearby had a bad feeling—the strange phenomenon in the lake had not only allowed them to return alive, but they even had the audacity to come back. These two didn't seem like fools who would willingly walk into a trap!

He touched his still-aching left eye and then pounced on the attack!

Ten meters!

With a thought, Li Qing's right hand trembled!

The fierce and burly man felt the silver light dazzling his eyes, piercing straight to his heart!

His heart skipped a beat, and without thinking of anything else, he immediately covered his eyes with his hand.

Li Qing had not expected the fierce man to react this way. He had no idea what kind of trauma the slash during the day had left on the man!

Fortunately, this time he didn't shoot the eyes—

The burly man clutched his throat, glaring at Li Qing, making a gurgling sound. His facial muscles were contorted, and his nostrils and mouth were wide open, as if he were struggling to breathe...

"Bang!" Another burly man also fell to the ground...
