Chapter 100
Of course, we must listen to him and hear how Xia Er got lost, so that we can get some clues."
"Damn! You're a level four werewolf, why should I listen to you?" Yan She roared.
"Yan She, what Yan said makes sense. You idiot, do you think you can find Sister Xia like this?" Meng Bao rushed forward and pried Yan She's hand open. Although he was small, he still surpassed Yan She in energy. After all, he was close to the sixth level. As long as he left the ruins forest, he would be able to evolve successfully in a short time.
"Roar, roar..." Yan She pulled the corner of his mouth and could not say anything else. What they said was indeed very reasonable. It was useless to scold and beat her now. Beating her would not bring the little female back. They had to go and save the little female.
"Cangran, tell me how Xia'er got lost?" Yan asked with a burning gaze.
"Ran... drink some water first... later..." Mi Jia turned around and poured a glass of boiled water, handed it to Cang Ran, and asked with trembling lips, "Ling Jun... how did Jun get lost?"
Cang Ran calmed down. Yes! The more he couldn't panic at this moment, he had to find a way to find Yunyun. He briefly described the incident to everyone, but they analyzed it for a long time but couldn't get any clues.
"Why don't we go find City Lord Feng? He is the leader here, maybe he has a solution." Meng Bao said.
"No!" Yan shook his head.
"Yan is right. City Lord Feng is in a desperate situation now. He can hardly save himself, not to mention that his life or death is unknown. How can we ask him for help again? Besides, I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet." Cangran said.
"Then...what should we do...?" Mika asked anxiously.
"Yeah! We've been discussing this for a long time but haven't come up with anything. Anyway, there's no clue about the little female. I think that person must be someone important to be able to snatch the little female away so easily."
Cang Ran's heart trembled. Not a nobody? Yes! As the man approached, he instantly felt a powerful energy. That energy was at least level eight, or even higher. Zombies above level eight were rare in Phoenix City, and zombies that could fly down from such a height without him being able to sense them were even rarer.
Dressed in all black, he didn't see the man's face at all, and couldn't even tell whether he was tall or short. He just felt a golden light rushing towards him. The golden light was in the shape of a butterfly. As for the rest, he couldn't think of anything else.
Unfortunately, they were unfamiliar with the place and could not conduct a comprehensive search. If Feng Yuxie could successfully overcome the crisis of life and death, it would definitely help him find Yunyun. However, if Feng Yuxie could not wake up, he would lose Yunyun forever. He did not dare to imagine.
Just as he was feeling distressed, a bamboo-stalked man suddenly walked in quietly and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Yun, City Lord Feng wants to see you."
"Is City Lord Feng awake?" Everyone seemed to have found a bright light.
The bamboo-pole man glanced at everyone indifferently without saying a word, but continued with a cold face: "Mr. Yun, please!"
Cangran had never thought that Fengyuan was so big and the journey was so long. He couldn't wait to see Feng Yuxie. But when he saw Feng Yuxie, he couldn't say a word.
This was the innermost room where Feng Yuyu usually stayed. It was bare, devoid of extraneous furnishings. A thick white curtain hung in front of the door. Stepping inside, a large bathtub lay beneath it, a fiery red charcoal fire crackling beneath it. The tub was filled with a large, indistinct medicinal liquid, which evaporated with the heat. The rich aroma of Chinese herbal medicine drifted through the room, along with the white mist, filling the room with the scent.
Feng Yuxie was lying on a simple single bed with his eyes tightly closed. His skin was pale and transparent, and even the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible. There was a black line in the middle of his forehead that was slowly growing, then slowly fading, growing again, and fading again, repeating over and over again.
His hands and feet were chained to the four ends of the bed, and his whole body was shaking, twitching, and convulsing.
Cang Ran gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "City Lord Feng, how are you? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Feng Yuxie gently opened his eyes, his amber pupils already shrouded in black energy. He spoke in a weak voice, "Mr. Yun, Ling Jun..."
"City Lord Feng, why did they lock you up?" Cangran was anxious, and pointed at the bamboo-pole man standing beside him with red eyes.
The bamboo-pole man said coldly, "Mr. Yun, the treatment process is very painful. The City Lord must be locked up before entering the medicine barrel, otherwise he will definitely hurt himself. If his skin is broken too much, he won't be able to bear it in the medicine barrel."
"Mr. Yun, while I am still conscious, please tell me how Ling Jun disappeared? Otherwise, tomorrow... I'm afraid... I will never be able to..." Feng Yuxie closed his eyes lightly and began to cough violently, with a trace of black blood flowing out of his mouth.
Cangran narrated the story briefly and concisely, and Feng Yuxie nodded, "It's him, Feng Ming." Who else but Feng Ming would have been secretly watching him, who else would have such power to snatch Ling Jun away from the hands of thousands of people, and who else would wear a golden butterfly mask.
Things became so tricky that Feng Yuxie was caught off guard. Ling Jun controlled Captain Nie at the critical moment, allowing him to keep his position as the city lord and win hope of survival for him. But Ling Jun also paid a price for this, because in Phoenix City, apart from his father, no one was Feng Ming's opponent. How could he save Ling Jun? He couldn't even walk now. In a moment of desperation, a surge of blood and energy rolled up, and he vomited a mouthful of black blood. The blood spread on the bed sheet, staining it black.
"City Lord, please don't waste your energy on this anymore. Otherwise..." The bamboo man approached Feng Yuxie with a worried look on his face.
Feng Yuxie shook his head: "Old Gao, stop talking. Ling Jun has done me a favor. I must save him and untie his chains."
"No!" the bamboo man answered firmly.
"Untie it!" Feng Yuxie didn't know where the strength came from. He shouted coldly, "Lao Gao, quickly untie it for me."
"City Lord, I'm sorry! I can't do it! The medicine hasn't completely evaporated yet, I can't untie you, Lord City Lord." The bamboo man still insisted.
"Do you really have to force me?" Feng Yuxie shouted in a deep voice, took a deep breath, shook his hands, and a ball of white mist covered his body.
"No—" the bamboo man screamed. The city lord actually threatened to die. "City lord, I will open it."
The bamboo man opened the chains with a look of pain on his face. After so many days, the city lord had persisted for so many days, but he still failed at the last moment. After all, no one can resist death, but he still didn't want to give up. "City lord, before you go, you'd better enter the medicine barrel to detoxify, otherwise I may not be able to hold on..."
"It's too late. Besides, it won't help even if I soak it in medicine." Feng Yuxie waved his hand and secretly activated his elemental power.
"Lord Feng, you?" Cang Ran saw that the black line on Feng Yuxie's forehead had disappeared, his pupils had returned to their usual amber color, and the wounds on his body had healed as before.
"Mr. Yun, I'm fine." Feng Yuxie said lightly.
"City Lord, have you really made up your mind?" The bamboo man brought a white robe to Feng Yuxie and put it on him.
"Yes." Feng Yuxie nodded, "From now on, this Feng Garden will be handed over to you. You must take good care of it."
"Without you, City Lord, this Feng Garden is no longer Feng Garden." The bamboo man sighed dejectedly, "City Lord, please let me follow you to find Miss Xia."
Feng Yuxie shook his head: "No! Sometimes more people can be detrimental. I can go alone."
"Lord Feng, your body?" Cang Ran was puzzled. He just saw Feng Yuxie looking like he was dying, how come he recovered in such a short time? Unless he concentrated all the elemental power in his body and used the shortest and most powerful concentrated energy to repair himself as quickly as possible, this was a suicidal method of self-repair. The best result would be to keep his life and become an unevolved little zombie, and the worst would be to die.
"Mr. Yun, I'm sure you understand. I will do my best to bring Ling Jun back safely."
"City Lord Feng, you actually risked your life to save Yunyun. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. We should go together. This way, our chances of success will be higher."
"Mr. Yun, you?"
"City Lord Feng, you can just call me Cangran. Don't worry, I will never be a burden to you. You can die for Yunyun, and so can I."
"All right!"
In the darkness and the light, two men walked silently in the same direction.
At this moment, they have only one goal, to rescue Xia Lingjun. As for what happens in the future, perhaps there is no future.
——
A hundred miles from the city center, a massive three-story building stood. Surrounded by a towering wall, it was covered with state-of-the-art invisible thermal scanning nets. Any creature that approached would be detected by the nets, though there were exceptions. The thermal scanning nets relied on temperature detection. While zombies lacked a temperature, they were still above zero degrees Celsius. Creatures below zero, like Feng Yuxie's pet, the bee-fly, were invisible to the nets.
The exterior of the building looks dark and cold, but when you actually step in, you will find that there is a different world inside the high walls. There are flowers and birds singing, and there is a thick lawn with a swing on it. The swing is covered with wisteria flowers, and a huge carousel stands in the darkness, as if it is a fairy tale world. There is also a deserted swimming pool in front of the villa. In the darkness, the lights sparkle and reflect colorful light.
Flowers of various colors bloom in the silent night, tall trees stand tall, and birds that have not returned to their nests are chirping on them, but after a while, everything returns to calm.
The room is spacious and bright, extremely luxurious, and the golden wall is brilliant.
