Chapter 538 Old Friends

"Old Wei, are you okay?"

Looking at Wei Zhen who had lost one eye, Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown.

"I won't die, but you..."

Wei Zhen waved his hand nonchalantly, and the only remaining eye kept looking at Zhao Feng, as if he didn't know him.

But before he could finish his words, a sharp and urgent whistle suddenly sounded in the canyon, which spread far away.

Zhao Feng's face turned fierce and murderous.

Li Xuan also patted him with his tail to indicate that there were still enemies.

With his sensitive perception, Li Xuan noticed that there were two masters who hid their breath very well at the entrance of the canyon.

After hearing the whistle, they directly lifted the means of concealment, jumped out of the snow pile, and wanted to escape directly.

"You want to leave after coming here?"

Zhao Feng sneered, and the next moment his body turned into a breeze and dissipated, which made Wei Zhen stunned.

"This old guy broke through!?"

Wei Zhen muttered to himself, and his shock was beyond words.

He and Zhao Feng entered the palace together, and then they became good friends until today, and they knew each other's situation best.

Now seeing that Zhao Feng had broken through his original realm, how could he not be surprised.

Especially when Zhao Feng disappeared earlier, Wei Zhen could not detect Zhao Feng's breath at all.

"Is this the state of enlightenment?"

"I don't know what this old guy has realized?"

Wei Zhen looked at the direction where Zhao Feng disappeared, and his eyes were full of envy.

For warriors, especially high-level warriors like them, there is nothing more enviable than a breakthrough.

Before Zhao Feng went to chase and kill the two fourth-level masters, he left Yan Shang and Li Xuan where they were.

Wei Zhen looked at Yan Shang and said to him:

"Little Yan, well done!"

Zhao Feng's arrival had made Wei Zhen understand that Yan Shang had found reinforcements and completed the task brilliantly.

Yan Shang smiled and bowed in return.

Then Wei Zhen looked at Li Xuan again, and couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.

"When did Old Zhao raise a cat? And brought it here."

Although Wei Zhen felt strange, it was not the time to care about these things.

He casually threw the head in his hand aside, then sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath.

Although Wei Zhen spoke wildly just now, he knew his own situation best. If Zhao Feng had not arrived just now, he could only fight to the death with the remaining two people.

Wei Zhen took two breaths, then reached out and grabbed the ice spike stuck in his eye.

If he didn't pull this thing out, his brain would be frozen.

As for the blindness of one eye, Wei Zhen didn't care at all.

Under the previous circumstances, he was lucky to survive.

And it is not difficult to see from the scars on his face that he is a person who is accustomed to wandering on the edge of life and death.

Except for life and death, the others are minor injuries.

Before Wei Zhen pulled out the ice spike, Li Xuan stepped forward and pressed his big hand.

Wei Zhen was stunned. He actually didn't see clearly how the black cat approached him just now.

But it was reasonable that he was seriously injured and in a bad state at this time, so he didn't care too much.

Wei Zhen waved his other hand to drive Li Xuan away, but the other hand was also held down.

"Huh?"

This time, Wei Zhen realized something was wrong.

The hand holding the ice spike was involved in the eye injury, so Wei Zhen didn't dare to use too much force.

But now he found that he couldn't push away the small cat's claw even with his free other hand.

Wei Zhen felt angry. It was okay that he led the team to encounter this mess and narrowly escaped death, but now even a kitten wanted to bully him.

His blood was boiling, and he was about to get angry, but Li Xuan had already started to treat Wei Zhen.

"Captain Wei, this kitten is a healing beast brought by General Manager Zhao. You just need to accept its treatment obediently." Yan Shang explained on the side.

Wei Zhen could already feel that his wound began to itch, and a stream of heat flowed into his body, making him feel comfortable all over.

This gradually suppressed his original intention to argue with Li Xuan, and he honestly let go of his hand and slowly let Li Xuan treat his injuries.

The ice spikes that pierced Wei Zhen's eyes were silently melted and transformed into the Yin and Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body to treat his injuries.

Wei Zhen slowly felt that his eyes pierced by the ice spikes were extremely itchy. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have been unable to hold on and scratched.

But after he survived that period, the injured eye gradually recovered its vision, and soon it became clear from blurry.

Wei Zhen stared at his pair of cow eyes, his expression was a little confused.

He never thought that Li Xuan could actually restore his blind eye to its original state.

Wei Zhen blinked his eyes and did not feel any discomfort. Instead, the eye that had just recovered was unusually refreshed, and he could see things much more clearly than the other eye.

Li Xuan shook his tail in front of Wei Zhen's eyes that had just recovered to test his restored vision.

Wei Zhen seemed to understand what Li Xuan meant, and answered subconsciously:

"My eyes are healed now, and I can see clearly."

"Cat, Doctor Cat?"

Wei Zhen didn't know Li Xuan's name, but he still showed his respect to the benefactor who cured his eyes as much as possible.

Seeing that Wei Zhen had a good attitude, Li Xuan just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Wei Zhen's eye injury was the most urgent. If time was delayed, Li Xuan was afraid that it would affect his future vision, so he cured his eyes first.

For a warrior, this kind of injury would affect his future practice, so Li Xuan was particularly concerned about it.

Next, Li Xuan concentrated on recovering Wei Zhen's other injuries.

Wei Zhen was impressed by Li Xuan's healing ability, and then he meditated and adjusted his breath obediently, cooperating with Li Xuan's treatment.

Not long after, Zhao Feng returned carrying two dead dog-like men in white.

These two people were dressed exactly the same as the two unconscious fourth-level masters on the ground, except that the masks on their faces were different in details.

When Zhao Feng came back, he saw that Li Xuan was already treating Wei Zhen, and Wei Zhen's breath was much more stable, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Zhao Feng threw the captured people together and asked:

"I'm afraid the background of these people is not simple. Lao Wei, do you have any guesses?"

To be able to dispatch so many fourth-level masters to hunt down Wei Zhen and the others was something that no ordinary force could do.

Wei Zhen opened his eyes and gritted his teeth and said:

"Must have a military background."

"The method of combining attacks when they besieged me before was already obvious."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

In this area, he had a military background, and he was also hunting down Daxing Zongzong hunting officers along the way. Naturally, the biggest suspect was Da Mo.

"Are they from the desert?"

"Recently, Daxing and Damo have started a war. A few days ago, the advance army led by Hu Guogong has set off to the front lines of the battle between the two countries."

Wei Zhen was not too surprised when he heard the news, he just said:

"So there was a war?"

They had been hunting deep in the north, so it was difficult to get news from the outside world.

Although Daxing had declared war for some time, Wei Zhen's officials still knew nothing about it.

"It shouldn't be because of this. They have been hunting us for a while."

"We set out to return to the capital in the last month of autumn, and we started to be hunted down on the way..."

"Counting the days, winter is almost over now, right?"

It has been snowing in the north. Apart from keeping track of the day, I can’t tell what day it is now.

Especially when Wei Zhen and others were being chased all the way, wandering on the line between life and death, it felt like time was passing very long.

"Winter is already halfway over." Zhao Feng replied.

"Has it been so many days..." Wei Zhen looked a little dazed.

"What about the rest?"

Zhao Feng asked this important question nervously.

Wei Zhen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, it's not their turn to get into trouble."

Wei Zhen's words made people feel safe.

Li Xuan almost finished treating Wei Zhen, and Wei Zhen stood up on his own.

Feeling the condition of his body, he stretched out his hand to touch Li Xuan's little head, and then thanked him politely:

"Thank you, Doctor Cat."

Zhao Feng on the side smiled and said: "Old Wei, this is Ah Xuan, the reinforcement I invited for you."

"Thanks to you as a rescuer, otherwise I would have to be a one-eyed dragon from now on."

Wei Zhen smiled and cursed, but he didn't have too many scruples when speaking.

"You kid, you have to calm down and follow some rules when you return to the palace." Zhao Feng shook his head and said helplessly.

Wei Zhen has been the leader of the hunting team for decades, and he has stayed in the wild longer than in the capital.

Although he was born as an eunuch in the palace, he has been imbued with a lot of charlatanism, and his way of speaking is very different from that of ordinary eunuchs in the palace.

"Go back to some palace. I'll just rest in the capital for two days. You can do the reporting."

Wei Zhen seemed unwilling to return to the palace.

In previous years, when he went back to Beijing to rest, Wei Zhen always stayed at Ping'an Trading Company, and then went on the hunt for the new year when the day came.

Anyway, he was alone and had no relatives in the world. When he returned to Beijing, he just had a few drinks with an old friend like Zhao Feng.

Wei Zhen couldn't remember the last time he entered the palace.

"This attack is not a trivial matter. You must report the situation on your own."

Zhao Feng dispelled Wei Zhen's luck.

"Take me to see the others."

Zhao Feng waved his hand, controlled the four unconscious fourth-level masters, and carried them with him with the breeze.

These four people have considerable intelligence value, so naturally they cannot be ignored.

Wei Zhen nodded, and then led them towards the depths of Yixiantian Canyon.

Arriving behind a huge boulder, Wei Zhen rummaged through the snow and found a blue iron rope, which was exactly the same as what Zhao Feng had used before.

They followed the iron rope all the way deeper, and the wind and snow became heavier and heavier. It was obvious that they were very close to the area where the cold wave was.

After walking hard for a while, they finally reached the other end of the iron rope.

In the special canyon terrain, an snow house appeared in front of them.

"it's me."

"Xiao Yanzi has found reinforcements, you can relax a little."

As soon as Wei Zhen finished speaking, two figures crawled out of the snowdrift in front of the snow house.

Their bodies were wrapped tightly in furs, leaving only two pairs of eyes covered with frost.

"Xiaoyanzi!"

The two were very excited when they saw Yan Shang and pulled off the mask covering their faces, revealing two young faces.

Judging from their appearance, they should be in their twenties, about the same age as Xu Lang.

The two young men stepped forward and hugged Yan Shang, their excitement beyond words.

After all, they thought Yan Shang would never come back.

They were sure that Yan Shang would definitely go on the mission, but if he didn't return for a long time, he must be in danger.

Now that they saw that Yan Shang was safe and sound, their worries were finally relieved.

"Hey, I made you worry."

Yan Shang smiled sheepishly, and then asked a little strangely: "Why did you build an igloo by yourself? Where is the house I built for you before?"

Yan Shang looked at the snow house in front of him and couldn't help showing doubts.

"Let's talk after we go in."

"Since there is no danger now, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

Wei Zhen spoke and walked into the snow house first.

The entrance to the igloo is relatively low, so you need to bend down to enter.

But the temperature inside is much warmer than outside, at least it won't be eroded by wind and snow.

Li Xuan followed and walked in and found that the space inside was not small.

But there were a lot of people, making the igloo very crowded.

Inside the igloo, there were nine people standing close together, leaning on each other to rest.

As soon as you enter, you can feel the depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"It's time to get up and go!"

Wei Zhen shouted, and even the igloo shook.

But the people in the igloo reacted very slowly. Only two or three people raised their heads to look at Wei Zhen, and the others didn't react at all.

Seeing that his team members had become like this, Wei Zhen sighed and said to Yan Shang and others: "Go and wake them up. Let's leave here immediately."

Yan Shang and the two previous gatekeepers took action immediately.

Zhao Feng frowned and asked, "What happened to them?"

The hunting officers are all the best among their peers, but the state of these people in front of them is obviously not right.

"We were chased for so long that there was a shortage of food, and we didn't have the chance to hunt to replenish it."

"The most important thing is that I stayed in front of the cold wave for too long and suffered some effects."

After hearing Wei Zhen's words, Zhao Feng couldn't help but change his expression.

"Don't worry, it hasn't reached the level of snow madness yet."

"But I guess it won't be far away if we delay it any longer."

"Let's go out and wait for them."

Wei Zhen obviously had something to say to Zhao Feng in private.

Zhao Feng took a look and confirmed that the lives of the team members were safe before following Wei Zhen out of the igloo.

Li Xuan glanced at these team members. He didn't know whether his yin and yang energy could be used for such mental trauma.

But at least in terms of vital signs, there are no particularly dangerous team members.

Therefore, Li Xuan also followed Zhao Feng's footsteps.

Once outside, Zhao Feng tacitly isolated an area to ensure that the conversation between the two would not be leaked.

Li Xuan just caught up with the last step and got into the area blocked by Zhao Feng.

Wei Zhen glanced at Li Xuan who was following him and thought it was Li Xuan who was getting close to Zhao Feng. He followed him wherever he went, but he didn't care.

"While we were hiding here, we made a strange discovery. This may be related to the reason why we are being hunted."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan and Zhao Feng became serious at the same time.

Then, Wei Zhen said in shocking words:

"The cold wave appears to be expanding in scope."
