C82 Crazy Chase
Zuo Feng was lying on his back in the middle of the tent with a youth sleeping beside him on both sides. He had estimated the strength of the two. They were both in the second or third level of the Bone Refining stage, so they weren't much stronger than Zuo Feng.
It was also thanks to his modified body. Normally, those who were not at the peak of their cultivation would not be able to see what level his cultivation was at, or else they would have exposed themselves long ago. Now that he was in the enemy's camp, if he accidentally alarmed the others, even if he got rid of the two beside him, it would be difficult for him to leave alive.
He slowly put his hand into his pocket and felt around the corner of his shirt for a while. Then, he stopped when his fingertips came in contact with a long needle. He used his middle finger and index finger to gently grasp the end of the needle and slowly pulled it out. He had also spent a lot of time on this series of seemingly simple movements.
He gently straightened the bent needle because he knew that the people on both sides were pretending to be asleep. His ears and senses were also paying attention to Zuo Feng's every move. Under such circumstances, Zuo Feng had to be even more careful. After doing all of this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief. He had already completed most of the preparations to escape.
The person on the right had his back facing Zuo Feng, and his body just happened to be at the entrance of the tent. Zuo Feng chose him as the first target.
Zuo Feng pretended that he didn't sleep well, and his body twisted a few times on the spot. He could feel that the two people beside him tensed up when his body twisted, but only after realizing that Zuo Feng had only turned over once did he gradually relax.
When Zuo Feng turned around, he intentionally threw his right hand at the back of the young man's head. The moment he began to relax, he quickly stabbed the needle into the Feng Residence acupoint at the back of his head.
This place was located at the back of the head where the big acupoint was. Zuo Feng's grasp was very precise and his technique was also very clean. When the long needle stabbed into the brain, the other party would not react at all. At the same time, a sliver of spiritual energy was sent into Zuo Feng's head as well. In the next moment, the young man sleeping on the right side of Zuo Feng truly fell into a deep slumber.
After taking care of one person, Zuo Feng focused all of his attention on the youth behind him. Seeing that the person behind him did not notice anything, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
He gently pulled the needle out from the back of the man's head. The hardest part was over. That was because the last thing Zuo Feng wanted was to scare the other person when he killed one. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave this place without a sound.
This time, Zuo Feng did the same thing. He pretended to turn his body in his sleep and the hand that was holding the needle shot out like lightning. It quickly pierced into the left person's temple.
This time, he wasn't as cautious as he was before. Instead, his movements were much faster. Although the person on the left sensed something, he immediately opened his eyes when Zuo Feng pierced the needle. However, his widened eyes immediately lost their luster and became dim. After doing all this, Zuo Feng knew that the door to the camp had already opened halfway. The next thing he needed to do was to quietly leave the camp.
His psychokinesis spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire camp. The sentries and guards in the surroundings were completely exposed to Zuo Feng's senses. When all of this information was sent into Zuo Feng's mind, the corner of Zuo Feng's mouth slightly curled up into a smile.
'Looks like this group of people have already sent two people to monitor me closely. They've completely given up. There are no longer any sentries inside the camp, and there are quite a few sentries outside. However, there are no hidden sentries.
Thinking about this, Zuo Feng didn't dare to stay any longer. The rat-faced man was quite powerful. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he would make a move on him. Every second he stayed would mean more danger for him.
He lowered his body and rushed out of the tent. Because he had used his psychokinesis to investigate, he only needed to identify the direction he was sleeping in and then headed towards the place where there were fewer guards.
Arriving at the spot between the two sentries, Zuo Feng lay flat on the ground. His entire body was tightly pressed to the ground as he borrowed the dense grass to quietly swim out of the camp like a snake. This time, Zuofeng was even more careful as he avoided the alarms.
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Feng had already arrived at the place where he had rested under the tree. Fortunately, the items were still there, safe and sound. The scene that followed left Zuo Feng at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. This was because the little beast that he had lost when he was resting was now lying on a bag sleeping soundly.
Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat. He realized that this little beast seemed to especially like that big bag of herbs. Because no matter if it was on the way or during breaks, the little beast always showed a strong interest in that bag of herbs.
The little beast grabbed one of its paws and picked it up. The little beast struggled in panic a few times, but when it realized that it was Zuo Feng who was holding it, it calmed down. It then revealed a happy expression on its little face.
He was still considering if he should use a method to deal with the group of gray-clothed men and attract a few more waves of beasts. Even if he couldn't kill them all, it would be good for Zuo Feng even if he could use up a portion of their manpower.
However, at the next moment, a noisy voice came from the direction of the camp. Zuo Feng sighed.
'Looks like the secret escape has been exposed. That rat-faced man must have wanted to use 'means' against me, only to discover that two of his subordinates died in the tent while I was nowhere to be found.
He was glad that he had good hearing. If he had been so stupid as to stand there without knowing, he would probably be at the end of his rope.
After hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng decided to leave these packages here. 'Now that those people realized that I've already run away, they would probably send people to look for me. Bringing such a heavy cargo along on the journey would undoubtedly not be the wise.'
Thinking about this, Zuo Feng didn't care if the little beast was willing or not and forcefully put it into his bosom. He took out a black dagger from a bag and put it on his body. Then, he quickly slid down from the giant tree and made a few simple markings before quickly fleeing into the distance.
Just as Zuo Feng had guessed, a few muscular figures appeared under the tree after he left. Naturally, the rat-faced middle-aged man was among them.
"Damn. He felt that there was something wrong with this little brat, and the death of Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhou was even more peculiar. If I send out all of the people that I can send out tonight, I will not believe that a little bastard like you will be able to fly into the sky. "
The rat-faced middle-aged man was so angry that he was on the verge of going crazy. The fact that the village had been slaughtered by him in the past had completely changed his image.
Judging from what they told him in the day, even if the boy was not from the Zuo Family Village, he should have a deep relationship with the village. This made it even more difficult for him to let Zuo Feng go.
Zuo Feng, who was advancing at a high speed, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Ever since he left the tree, he had been observing the area behind him with all his Spiritual Energy. Just now, he had noticed that there were a few ripples approaching him at a fast speed. An invisible pressure had enveloped Zuo Feng's heart.
This group of people couldn't be compared to the gang members in Yan City. They lived outside of the Tian Ping Mountain all year round, so it could be said that they were as familiar with the terrain as Zuo Feng. Seeing them heading in their direction with such clear targets, it was obvious that there were people in the group who specialized in tracking them.
Zuo Feng gradually increased the speed of his escape and charged towards the inner part of the forest. Originally, if Zuo Feng was not injured, with his full speed, even if he could not shake off the pursuers behind him, he would not have been pulled closer like this. The pursuers gradually dispersed, clearly intending to encircle Zuo Feng.
Clenching his teeth and enduring the continuous waves of pain from his leg, Zuo Feng kept changing the direction of his escape so that the people behind him wouldn't surround him. Just as Zuo Feng was beginning to feel despair, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
Normally, he wouldn't pay too much attention to this voice, but right now, it sounded like a heavenly music to his ears. He had been running around randomly before, but he hadn't thought that he would stumble upon a chance of survival.
Sensing that the sound of the river was getting closer, Zuo Feng also sped up his footsteps. Soon, he arrived at a river that was not too wide.
It was a river formed by a small stream in the middle of the mountain. The river was not that wide, only about four to five Zhang. If Zuo Feng had not been injured by the river, then crossing this river would not have been a problem. However, at this moment, Zuo Feng had no intention of jumping over. After arriving at the river bank, he dove into the water without any hesitation.
The stream in the mountain was extremely cool. After entering the water, Zuo Feng immediately felt a slight chill. This cold feeling also caused Zuo Feng to calm down slightly.
He knew that this river would eventually converge with the other rivers in the mountain. If he continued to float down this river, logically speaking, he should be able to reach Yan City. But even if he had the stamina to float in the water for two or three days, his pursuers would definitely be much faster on the shore than him.
After calming down slightly, Zuo Feng began to desperately swim upstream. If it was anyone else, they would have chosen to go downriver, so the group of pursuers at the back would have naturally guessed the same. He had to go the other way in order to have the hope of temporarily losing the pursuers behind him.
Fortunately, the river was slightly flat here, so the left wind was able to flow upstream. However, even if the water current wasn't too fast, Zuo Feng would still find it hard to swim out too far. After all, he was injured, and his previous escape had consumed a lot of his energy.
Zuo Feng struggled to ascend a few hundred feet, and after that, he quietly swam towards the shore. At this moment, the small creature had already climbed out of Zuo Feng's bosom and was standing on his shoulder. The small creature's eyes were cautiously looking down the river.
Zuo Feng also spread out his psychokinesis at this moment, accurately grabbing the position of the pursuers. He seemed to be discussing where Zuo Feng was going.
He looked at the little beast on his shoulder with slight astonishment, 'This little guy's perception is quite strong, to be able to compare to my spiritual force detection technique'. Zuo Feng felt incredulous.
