Lu Yuan stood less than two meters away from the Grand Elder, watching with a smile as he fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then became lifeless.
He's not someone who just runs away all the time.
The reason he chose to run away at the beginning was not only because he was seriously injured and unable to confront Yao Zheng head-on.
More importantly.
He wanted to give Yao Zheng the illusion that he was powerless to fight back, so that Yao Zheng would lower his guard and make it easier for him to get other information he wanted. He also wanted to secretly release Su Ren out of Yao Zheng's sight, ready to deliver a fatal blow from behind at any time!
As it turns out.
His efforts in making these plans were worthwhile.
What he didn't expect was that this beast tide was actually meticulously planned by Yao Zheng.
Unfortunately, Yao Zheng witnessed the entire battle between him and the Fei Beast. Yao Zheng's life could not be spared, otherwise he would have really wanted to take him back and interrogate him a few more times.
But that's okay.
He had stopped the beast tide and killed Yao Zheng. Not only had he failed to achieve his goal, but he had also lost a partner. They would definitely prepare other actions next, and there was a high probability that they would target him.
In this way, all he needs to do is wait patiently.
at the same time.
Akabane also dealt with the Tyrant Beetle, which had gone berserk due to Yao Zheng's death.
Although there is a four-level difference between the two, Akabane's talent and skill level are far superior to that of the Tyrant Beetle.
Furthermore, after Yao Zheng's death, the Tyrant Beetle's sanity and abilities were greatly diminished.
Akabane killed him swiftly and effortlessly.
Seeing that the battle on Akabane's side was completely over, Lu Yuan's mind gradually relaxed. However, he suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer, so he completely fainted.
Phew——!
Just before he closed his eyes, Lu Yuan seemed to hear the cry of the red feather, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes even a crack.
Until darkness completely descends.
...
In this boundless world, it seems that only the sky and the sea remain.
Lu Yuan lay flat on the sea with his eyes closed, feeling his body rising and falling with the seawater.
Countless dark hands gripped his body tightly, trying their best to pull him into the dark, lightless depths of the sea, while beams of light pierced through the clouds, illuminating every inch of his skin.
The black hands seemed terrified of the light, and immediately let out a shrill howl, releasing his body and quickly sinking back into the sea.
at the same time.
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"The...store manager?!"
A familiar, surprised voice reached his ears, and Lu Yuan turned his head with some difficulty.
Zheng Meng was holding a water glass, staring at him with wide eyes, her gaze filled with surprise.
"Manager, you're finally awake!"
Zheng Meng quickly placed the water glass on the table next to the hospital bed and asked with concern, "Manager, how are you feeling now? Is there any pain anywhere? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"
After asking a series of questions, Zheng Meng suddenly slapped her forehead.
"Look at my head, I was so surprised that I forgot what I was supposed to do!"
"Manager, wait here, I'll go get the doctor right away!"
After muttering a lot to herself, Zheng Meng gave Lu Yuan a few instructions and then quickly ran out of the ward. Even through the door, Lu Yuan could hear Zheng Meng excitedly shouting for the doctor.
"..."
Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at the space above the hospital bed.
so.
Why didn't Jung Mong just press the call button?
Without dwelling on this point, Lu Yuan turned his head with some effort and looked around at his surroundings.
I realized this place looked like a hospital ward, and a luxurious VIP single room at that.
All the injuries on his body have been treated, and he is almost completely covered in plaster casts from head to toe.
No wonder he found it difficult to turn his head; he was practically wrapped up like a mummy, it would be strange if he could even turn his head!
Slowly close your eyes.
Through the contractual connection, Lu Yuan could sense that his four little ones were still alive and well, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to use his divine sense to explore back into the space, the door to the ward was opened from the outside.
Several doctors and nurses in white coats rushed over.
Before Lu Yuan could react, a variety of sophisticated instruments were put into operation, thoroughly examining him inside and out. Only then did the lead doctor breathe a sigh of relief.
"The injured person is out of danger and just needs to rest and recover fully!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Meng's face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, doctors and nurses!"
After Zheng Meng gratefully saw the doctor and nurses off, Lu Yuan was finally able to calm down. Just as he was about to say something, several more figures pushed open the door and entered.
"Sister Zheng, I saw a lot of doctors and nurses leaving the ward just now. Could something have happened to Xiao Lu?!"
"Captain Yang!" Zheng Meng smiled at the person who came, and then said truthfully, "The store manager has finally woken up!"
"What?!"
Hearing the voices suddenly approaching, Lu Yuan turned his head slightly and realized that it was Yang Lin and the other three.
"Brother Yang."
"Xiao Lu!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's voice again, Yang Lin was extremely excited. If Du Pengyi and the others hadn't been there to stop him, he probably would have pounced on Lu Yuan.
"Captain, calm down!"
"That's right, Captain! Brother Lu is still injured, but you made him faint again as soon as he woke up!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and ultimately did not lunge forward again, but he still excitedly grabbed Lu Yuan's hand.
"Xiao Lu! You scared me to death!"
"What's wrong, Brother Yang?" Lu Yuan asked in return.
"You have no idea! When we brothers arrived near the Scorching Sun Forest, we saw you lying on the ground covered in blood, not moving at all. We all thought you were dead!"
As Yang Lin was recalling, his expression suddenly became cautious and serious. He leaned close to Lu Yuan's ear and whispered something.
"Little Lu, how many beasts have you contracted?"
