Stars filled the night sky, and a golden crescent moon hung in the sky.
A bonfire was lit in the middle of the forest, and the flames were flickering and crackling, reflecting the silhouettes of three people.
Around the bonfire sat two men and a woman, three young men around the age of seventeen or eighteen. From time to time, they turned the sticks in their hands, checking every now and then to see if they were cooked.
Someone's skill didn't seem to be that great. The rabbit was charred black by the fire and some parts of its tail were still stained with blood.
"I already said, don't worry about his life, you guys just didn't listen to me and brought along such a burden. If he's a bad guy, doesn't that put us in danger? "
A youth with average looks, wearing white clothes, tore off a piece of meat from the rabbit's body and placed it in his mouth to taste it. After discovering that the fire was almost over, he started to build up large pieces of them while complaining nonstop at the same time.
"Hey Song Chengxue, aren't you usually very loyal to people? Why did she suddenly become so obedient? In this wilderness, if he were to lie here alone, he would probably be bitten clean by Demonic Beast before nightfall. How can you not have any sympathy at all? "
The youth in green clothes also blew on the scalding rabbit meat, speaking up for the unconscious person they discovered.
"Exactly. Look, he has neither a bag nor a weapon on him. Maybe he met some bandits and robbed him, then knocked him unconscious. Even if he has some evil intentions, with just the skills of the three of us, are we really afraid of him? "
At this moment, the girl also opened her mouth. She shook her fist, indicating that even if the man had some tricks up his sleeve, she wouldn't be afraid.
"Besides, Song Chengxue is at the seventh level of the War Qi, and you, Li Feng, are an expert at the eighth level of the War Qi. Even if he is being hunted down by his enemies, I believe that the few of us can easily take care of him. "
Looking at the black rabbit leg in her hand, the girl frowned and threw it to the side. When he turned around and saw the unconscious figure, he couldn't help but worry for him.
"Sigh, Xiao Qin, it's not that I don't want to save him. It's just that we're on our way to Twilight Valley, you know how much danger there is. I'm afraid that when the time comes, we won't be able to protect ourselves, so how can we have the spare energy to take care of him? "That place is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid that if we do this, we might end up harming him …"
"But we can't just leave him here to die. At most, we can just be a little more careful. "
Yan Xiaoqin had finally managed to convince Song Chengxue with great difficulty, causing him to have an unhappy face.
Then, alone and sulking, he ate the rabbit meat, ignoring the conversation between the other two, clearly dissatisfied with the fat bottle he had picked up.
After an unknown period of time, Mo Beichen was suddenly awoken by the smell of meat. He sat up with his stomach growling.
"You finally woke up. You've been in a coma for quite a few hours. I don't think you're hurt, is your body okay? "
Hearing the commotion, Yan Xiaoqin went forward and asked Mo Beichen.
"Thank you for saving me. I'm fine. Oh right, you can call me Mo Beichen. "
Seeing a few strangers, Mo Beichen was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood everything and thanked them gratefully. It was no wonder that he could hear someone talking at the side. He thought it was an illusion, but there were actually a few people beside him.
"Since you're fine, then that's good. Hurry up and eat this piece of rabbit meat so we can continue our journey." In order to take care of you, we've wasted a lot of time and messed up all our travel plans. "
Song Chengxue grumpily handed over a large piece of rabbit meat that was roasted until it was golden in color and sat at the side, not saying another word.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Feng laughed and said to Mo Beichen: "Don't mind him, he's just like this, cold on the outside but hot on the inside. He's actually quite a nice person."
Seeing that Song Chengxue was careless and biased against him, Mo Beichen thought for a bit and then roughly guessed a few reasons.
However, he was still very grateful for their help.
"It seems that my luck is quite good, I managed to escape a calamity …" After taking in a deep breath, Mo Beichen couldn't help but feel some lingering fear in his heart.
Who knew how long he had fainted before encountering the three of them? If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet them, he might have lost his life at any moment in this dangerous place.
A few of them accompanied Mo Beichen. After they finished their brief introductions, they watched him eat the rabbit meat and started to chat.
"Brother Song, I wonder, do you feel that both your arms are a bit sore and swollen every day, and that your left shoulder is not as smooth as your Qi and blood?"
Hearing Mo Beichen's question, Song Chengxue had a face full of surprise, and said curiously: "That's right, how did you know?"
"If I'm not wrong, you should be practicing Howling Tiger Fist." "Although you have already stepped into the Initial Stage for a long time and are about to break through to the Mastery Stage, just this last step has troubled you quite a bit."
"You, how could you understand it so well?"
Song Chengxue swallowed his saliva. He looked at the calm Mo Beichen as if he was looking at a monster.
He did not know if this was considered as a hidden disease or not, but other than him, Song Chengxue had never told anyone else. But this guy in front of him, had actually revealed the source of his problem. How could he not shock Song Chengxue?
"If you continue to practice the Tiger Subduing Fist, I am sure that within a year, your arms will become numb and stiff, and your muscles will eventually die, and your bones will become distorted until they become completely useless. At that time, no one will be able to save you! "
"Plop!"
Hearing that, Song Chengxue was drenched in sweat, his face was pale white, he dropped to the ground and looked at his hands as if he lost his soul.
Song Chengxue was extremely shocked in his heart. If one were to say that the words Mo Beichen had said at the beginning could still be seen through from the traces on his body, then it would be even more impossible for others to discover the matter regarding his Tiger Subduing Fist.
Tiger Subduing Fist was an advanced martial skill of the Howling Tiger Fist, and it had to be mastered after the Howling Tiger Fist. Otherwise, not only would the difficulty of practicing Tiger Subduing Fist increase by several times, forcefully cultivating it would also cause irreparable damage to the body.
Because his Howling Tiger Fist had been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time, unable to break through to the Mastery Stage. Under great helplessness, Song Chengxue took the risk and started to learn the Tiger Subduing Fist with all his might.
Although the Hidden Tiger Fist was exceptionally difficult to cultivate, it was also extremely powerful, causing the depressed Song Chengxue to be overjoyed.
After tasting the sweetness, Song Chengxue had always been cautious, afraid that others would discover it and stop him.
Unexpectedly, the secret in the bottom of his heart that had been hidden for a long time was seen through by this stranger in a single look. This made Song Chengxue pale in fright.
If it was only this, then everything would be fine. But the key thing was that Mo Beichen had spoken of the consequences in such a serious manner, in addition to the mysteriousness he was displaying, it made Song Chengxue unable to believe him.
