Chapter 218: Bitten to Death Alive

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Bitten to Death Alive

Fu Long and Chu Qianli immediately went down.

They saw Yazi lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

"Leader, Yazi is..."

"He’s having an attack!" Fu Long squatted down, trying to help Yazi up.

In the absence of a doctor, Fu Long didn’t know what to do.

Chu Qianli immediately stopped him, "Don’t touch him! Turn his body over and let him lie on his side!"

"Miss Chu..."

"Listen to me, I am a doctor!"

Chu Qianli quickly took out her needle pack.

With no other option, Fu Long hurriedly turned Yazi’s body over.

As soon as Chu Qianli’s needles fell, she quickly sealed several of Yazi’s acupoints.

It was astonishing, once those few acupoints were sealed, Yazi’s convulsions seemed to actually slow down gradually.

About the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Yazi finally recovered his breath and became alert.

"Thank you... you saved me."

Everyone was looking at Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli said indifferently, "I am a doctor, saving people is my duty, there’s nothing to thank for. Everyone, rest early. Tomorrow, we will surely make it out of Heifeng Ridge alive!"

...That night, while the brothers slept, Chu Qianli quietly pulled Fu Long aside.

"To gather information, two people are enough. More would only attract the attention of the Medicine Man and Dead Soldiers, don’t you think?"

Fu Long looked at her, never expecting such words to come from a young girl.

"Aren’t you afraid?"

"I am," Chu Qianli nodded. "But since you said that an army of ten thousand perished here, it shows that having more people doesn’t necessarily help."

They were only going to scout the situation at Heifeng Cliff, not to fight a battle.

Thus, having more people wasn’t an advantage.

More people would simply mean marching to their deaths.

Fu Long looked at her.

After a moment, he nodded.

That very night, they left the team, mounted two fast horses, and left the city.

The next morning, they reached the entrance to Heifeng Ridge.

Fu Long hesitated, wondering whether they should enter at night.

Chu Qianli, however, smiled and said, "At night, it would truly be the Medicine Man’s domain. We wouldn’t be able to see anything and they, familiar with the terrain, would have a greater advantage over us."

Therefore, it was actually during the day that they could act more freely.

Once again, Fu Long discovered that the girl had more ideas than he did.

She didn’t follow the common path, had a different mindset, a unique way of doing things!

If she could survive today’s perils, she would undoubtedly achieve great things in the future.

"Alright, let’s go in."

...The legendary Heifeng Ridge.

Indeed, the air felt wrong.

Chu Qianli gave Fu Long an antidote, and the two continued forward.

But unexpectedly, shortly after entering, they heard noises coming from behind them.

"Someone’s coming!" They exchanged glances and immediately doubled back to check.

To their surprise, the ones who had come were their brothers from the Iron Cavalry Group they had left behind the night before.

"Leader, Miss Chu!"

Yazi approached them briskly, his face resolute: "Although we are afraid of dying, we can’t let just the two of you face it."

"That’s right, alive or dead, we’re in this together!"

After all, they were people who had shared hotpot and cola together, and from now on, they were brothers!

Brothers should stand united, facing life and death together!

Chu Qianli felt a tinge of emotion.

She looked at Fu Long.

Fu Long gave a nod, "If word that they haven’t entered Heifeng Ridge gets back, the Emperor won’t forgive anyone. So, let’s all go in together."

Chu Qianli exhaled, resigned, "Then it’s settled. Everyone, take the antidote first. However, this antidote can only block miasma and the like, it’s not very effective against virulent poisons."

After distributing the antidotes, she said solemnly, "Everyone, be careful!"

"Okay!"

Over a dozen people, this time they truly united as one.

Fu Long led the way, with Chu Qianli following close behind, and the rest trailing along.

After walking a distance further, Chu Qianli’s frown deepened.

Her steps also slowed down.

Fu Long quickly noticed something was off and turned back to look at her, "What’s wrong?"

"Something feels off," she tugged at Fu Long’s sleeve, "Around us... there’s a strong scent of decay."

"Everyone, quiet down, I’ll check again..."

Just at that moment, someone couldn’t help but sneeze: "Achoo!"

In the air, it seemed as if something was stirring.

Chu Qianli and Fu Long exchanged a glance, then suddenly their expressions changed!

"Be careful!"

"Get down!"

But, it was too late!

Suddenly, a dark figure sprang out from the bushes and pounced on the brother who had just sneezed.

"Ah..."

That brother let out a terrible scream, struggling desperately!

Fu Long drew his long sword with a swish and stabbed it towards the dark figure on top of his brother.

The dark figure seemed very alert, and also extremely agile.

It turned its body, and the long sword grazed its waist.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh was clear, and even the smell of blood began to get thicker.

However, the dark figure still clung to the brother, and as everyone took a closer look, they were completely panicked.

Medicine Man!

It really was a Medicine Man!

With a face as dark as ink, like a person poisoned.

And now, he was firmly biting down on that brother’s neck!

Even after being struck by a sword, it seemed to feel no pain at all, latching onto the brother, refusing to let go even in death!

"Let him go!" Fu Long pushed with a palm strike.

Chu Qianli’s short blade also landed in her hand, chopping down at the Medicine Man.

But that Medicine Man, after a sword thrust, a palm strike, and a knife chop, still refused to release the brother.

There was no expression of pain, and despite severe injuries, it did not fall.

It just kept biting its target, unwilling to release even in death.

"There are many more Medicine Men! We’ve been discovered!" Chu Qianli quickly realized that the scent of decay was getting stronger.

Fu Long, infuriated, punched the Medicine Man.

The Medicine Man took a punch but still felt no pain whatsoever.

Chu Qianli’s blade came down, and the Medicine Man finally fell.

But before he fell, he mustered all his strength, jerked his head, and bit off something from the mouth.

It was the flesh from the brother’s neck!

The blood vessels were bitten through, and he collapsed on the ground with eyes wide open!

"He... he’s dead." Someone said in a trembling voice, softly speaking.

Everyone looked at the brother who lay on the ground, eyes unshut in death, their faces pale as death.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen a comrade die in battle; in fact, anyone who was a part of the Iron Cavalry Group had seen dead people.

But they had never seen such a horrifying death, such a terrifying scene!

Right in front of them, he was... bitten to death.

The most terrifying thing was the Medicine Man.

No matter how you hit it, how you wounded it, it was like an Undead.

Unaware of pain, completely devoid of feeling, just a mindless... beast!

The only way to bring it down was to kill it!

Only death would make it fall!

Is this still a human? He can no longer be called a person!

It’s a beast, a human-eating beast...

"No good! We’ve been discovered by the Medicine Men!"

Chu Qianli grabbed Fu Long by the wrist, pulling his attention back, "We have to run! It’s too late!"
