After hearing his parents' answers, Shen Wenxuan felt that it made sense and should be the case.

After figuring it out, I felt much better and started to practice my supernatural powers happily.

Linzi put an extra bed in his tent and settled the two of them there.

In the middle of the night, the lights in the tent were not turned off.

Wen Yu woke up first. He vaguely remembered that they were being chased. He sat up nervously and saw Chu Han lying beside him. He reached out and checked his breath before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around at where he was, he happened to meet Lin Zi's eyes.

At this time, Lin Zi was sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands crossed in front of his chest, still looking as ruffian as he remembered.

Wen Yu thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and opened them again. Lin Zi was already in front of him, smiling at him.

"Linzi! You're going to scare me to death!"

Wen Yu was so scared that he covered his chest.

Lin Zi raised his eyebrows and smiled, then sat back down.

"Wen Yu! How did you get here? You even cracked the crystal core. I wasn't as miserable as you when I came here."

Wen Yu smiled helplessly before beginning to recount his previous experiences.

"That time when we split up to look for our target, I saw your signal flare and headed in its direction to find you. I ended up running into that mutant beast, which relentlessly chased me. I couldn't defeat it, and I took several hits. I was lucky to survive. After my crystal core shattered, I couldn't use my powers anymore. I saw a river ahead and jumped in, thinking I'd just leave it to fate! But when I opened my eyes, I found myself in this world."

Hearing this, Lin Zi touched his chin and nodded. This was similar to his own experience, so he continued to ask.

"Then how did you fall off the cliff?"

"When I opened my eyes, I was tied up. After the crystal core shattered, I was weaker than an ordinary person and couldn't break free. I saw a group of soldiers in red armor eating human flesh, and I thought I would end up like that. But Chu Han led his men to kill those soldiers and rescued me. From him, I learned about the situation in this world. I didn't know where to go, so I kept following him. Later, we were ambushed by soldiers from the Nanli Kingdom who had infiltrated. I was injured and unconscious, and I don't know what happened after that."

After Wen Yu finished speaking, he looked at Chu Han who was still unconscious, and then he remembered that the wound on his body didn't seem to hurt anymore. He lifted up his clothes and the wound was really gone.

He checked Chu Han's body again and found that he was also intact.

Before he could ask, he heard Lin Zi's answer.

"Don't look at me anymore. Xuanzi has healed your injuries! He said your crystal core can be healed too, but it might take longer."

"Xuan Zi is here too?"

"Yeah! He came earlier than us. He came to collect the crystal cores of wind-type mutant beasts."

Wen Yu was really stunned by this series of surprises. He thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to survive and meet his brothers again.

Just as Wen Yu was immersed in joy, Chu Han beside him also woke up.

"Wen Yu!"

Chu Han screamed and sat up in shock.

"I'm here!"

Seeing Wen Yu safe and sound beside him, Chu Han didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before he saw Lin Zi with short hair. He then took a protective stance and protected Wen Yu behind him.

Wen Yu saw Chu Han's alert expression and knew there was a misunderstanding. He patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. This is my brother Lin Zimo."

Chu Han finally relaxed and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for saving me!"

Lin Zi spread his hands and explained, "I don't deserve it. This isn't just my achievement. Wen Xuan and I just carried you back. If it weren't for Xuan Zi, I wouldn't be able to do anything if you were barely alive."

After hearing his explanation, Chu Han noticed that his injuries had completely healed! Even Wen Yu looked like he was fine. It seemed that Wen Yu's brothers were not simple!

Although his heart was in turmoil, his face remained calm.

The next day.

Qi Yanxuan and Shen Yanqing came to the tent in the forest early in the morning.

Several people exchanged information with each other while eating breakfast.

If we talk about who is more miserable, Wen Yu is the most miserable. He was a good sixth-level water-type mutant, but he was almost eaten by someone because of the shattered crystal core. Qi Yanxuan sighed when he heard it.

To be on the safe side, it's better to help him heal the shattered crystal core as soon as possible! This way he'll have the power to protect himself later.

With the infusion of wood-type energy, the cracks on the crystal core are slowly repairing, but it will take several more treatments to restore it to its original state.

The most shocked among them was Chu Han.

Although he guessed that Wen Yu's brother was no ordinary person, he didn't expect him to be so outrageous. This series of actions confused him, and his entire worldview collapsed.

When I set out, I was shocked to see more than 100,000 disaster victims.

You have to know that the plague was rampant and medicinal materials were in short supply. Even the emperor could not provide so many medicines to treat the victims, so he ordered so many people to be burned alive.

Not only the victims were burned to death, but also the soldiers who were guarding the city for him.

These soldiers were the ones who escorted him all the way to Huaijiang River, but he would rather burn them to death than give them medical treatment. He was really an expert in this method of getting rid of a donkey after it had served its purpose.

This reminded him of how he was once feared by the emperor, which was why he was transformed from a general who fought in the battlefield to an idle person. If he had not been needed for the emperor's escort later, he would probably have died.

Compared with Emperor Dongchen's inhumane practices, Qi Yanxuan is simply the savior of these people.

Shen Yanqing has been feeling cold these past two days, and the word "unhappy" is almost written on his face. His wife is so busy reminiscing with her brothers that she has ignored him.

Shen Wenxuan was as unhappy as he was.

In the past, Lin Zi and Shen Wenxuan would stick together and play whenever they had free time, but these past two days, because he had been catching up with Wen Yu, he had less time to spend with Shen Wenxuan.

Shen Wenxuan felt very upset when he saw Lin Zi playing with others instead of him.

At this time, two unhappy people were sitting on one side, one looking at Qi Yanxuan with resentment, and the other looking at Lin Zi angrily, making it difficult to ignore them.

Chu Han sat quietly beside them and listened to their conversation. He looked extremely serious. He probably found what they were talking about novel. Even his face, which was always murderous, was filled with curiosity.

Qi Yanxuan noticed the resentful look in her man's eyes and touched her nose feeling guilty. She was too happy chatting and ignored him.

Then he coughed and said, "Well, it's a little late today, let's go back to bed first, and you should get some rest early too."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yanxuan saw that Shen Yanqing's expression had visibly eased, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qi Yanxuan curled the corners of his lips helplessly, stood up and took his little hunter back to rest.

However, Lin Zi seemed not to notice Shen Wenxuan's unhappiness, and was wondering why he was so quiet today.
