However, the cavalry that was chasing Lin Feng suddenly fell down, their torches and spears were scattered all over the ground, and even the horses under them cried mournfully, and soon there was no movement.
"Hmm?" The wizard of the Liman tribe saw the movement here and was about to go over to check it out when the gray eagle responsible for surveillance in the air let out a sharp cry and then fell headfirst into the sand.
A wizard, alert, ran over to check on the gray eagle and pulled out a sharp stinger from its abdomen. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Don't get close! It's a tiger scorpion's stinger. There are tiger scorpions here."
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his feet, and then his vision went black, and blood instantly flowed from his nose. He only uttered a few words, "Don't come near", and then he fell headfirst, no longer breathing.
A general in black armor looked at the place where the Liman wizard died and said to his guards, "Tiger scorpions are afraid of the sun. Wait until daybreak before checking again. Search the direction the cavalry just chased after them carefully."
"Yes, sir!"
The black-armored general did not observe a moment of silence for the dead people of the Liman tribe, but continued to order the army to march into the city. The appearance of the tiger scorpion made him more alert.
The other members of the Liman tribe who were accompanying the army unloaded some dried flowers from their carts and horses and scattered them on the body of their dead fellow tribesman. After the body came into contact with the dried flowers, it instantly caught fire, and the fire was so strong that it soon burned the body to ashes, which was amazing to watch.
…
Atop the Huangsha City walls, Li Guo watched the approaching army, his lips curled up slightly as he spoke to the old man beside him, "Brother Han, do you see that? This is King Yu's determination. He's even sent that black-armored general. Do you really want to leave? Stay! We brothers can join forces to accomplish great things. After King Yu conquers the world, our sect will become the greatest sect in the Great Yan Dynasty."
The old man shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Li, I am much older than you. When Master brought you up the mountain, I also held you in my arms. Today, I only ask you once, to let me take my two grandchildren away. They are the last bloodline of my Han family."
If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely recognize this old man. He was the one who asked him for food on the execution ground. However, no one expected that this ordinary old man was actually Li Guo’s senior brother.
Li Guo nodded. "Brother Han, your son's death has made you bear a grudge against me for so many years. I often feel guilty about it, too. After all, he died trying to save me. Over the years, I've sent people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts, but to no avail. I never thought you would come to this bitter cold place."
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes. "My son was kind-hearted, and saving you was instinctive, but his skills were inferior to others. I once asked about the origins of your enemies, but you refused to tell me. My daughter-in-law, overwhelmed with resentment, slit her throat and committed suicide, leaving behind two poor children. Junior Brother Li, you have no idea how deep my hatred is. You've failed my son, and left me, as his father, unable to avenge him. Sometimes I think saving you isn't worth it, and you're just a coward."
Li Guo sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that the time is not right. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge this grudge. The other party is not someone our sect can afford to offend. If we are not careful, we might even be wiped out. For the sake of our sect's centuries-old foundation, Senior Brother Han, I hope you can be more understanding."
The old man snorted coldly, "Considerate of you? Who can sympathize with me, a bereaved man? You know, my two grandsons have a strange disease. They have a fever every night. No famous doctor can cure them. Don't say it wasn't that enemy's fault. I, Han Shan, am not a fool, but you refuse to reveal the real culprit. If the disease of my two grandsons cannot be cured, then my Han family will be extinct. Li Guo, you will be unable to sleep or eat well."
Li Guo shook his head. "Listen to me, Senior Brother Han. You could still be alive if you didn't know, but you'll definitely die if you do. How will your Han family continue if you die? I'll ask someone to find a famous doctor in Dayan to treat your two grandsons' illnesses. Senior Brother Han, just think of me, Li Guo, as an animal, not a human. I really have no choice but to do so."
After saying this, Li Guo bowed to his senior brother Han.
"Huh! How wise are you? Everything in the world is under your control, but my two grandchildren don't need your help. Li Guo, let us go. We will go our separate ways from now on and not interfere with each other."
The old man's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked as if he wanted to eat Li Guo alive.
"Okay, you guys go! Xiaoliu, send my senior brother out of the city. Senior Brother Han, take care on your journey." Li Guo bowed to Senior Brother Han and said goodbye.
"Hmph!" Senior Brother Han shook his sleeves and left without looking back, with the coachman Xiaoliu following closely behind him.
Li Guo looked at Senior Brother Han's back and sighed, "Senior Brother Han, I really didn't lie to you. If I tell you, you and I will both die, and our sect will be destroyed."
…
On the other side, Lin Feng, after leading Xin Liehu and others into the secret passage, took out a huge stone from the space tower and blocked the secret passage. Then everyone rushed all the way and reached the icy wasteland outside the city without taking a breath.
As soon as they came out of the secret passage, Xin Liehu and others were immediately frozen because they did not have time to prepare warm clothes.
“It’s too cold!”
"Why is it so cold?"
Everyone said tremblingly.
"Run quickly, there is a cave there with furs and clothes in it, so you won't be cold then." Lin Feng was cheering them up.
Everyone hugged their arms tightly and stumbled after Lin Feng.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the hidden cave.
Lin Feng turned the switch skillfully.
"Moo!" Xiao Hei let out a cry of praise from the cow inside.
"I'm back!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.
Then he walked in. The family members were all warming themselves by the stove. When they saw Lin Feng return safely, they all smiled.
After Xin the Hunter and the others followed in, they were delighted. It was really warm in this cave.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, we meet again!" Hunter Xin greeted Lin's father and mother.
Lin's father and mother also greeted them with smiles and invited everyone to warm up by the stove.
Moreover, Yang Jingyi and Lin's mother opened the Liu family's luggage, which was filled with warm furs and thick clothes.
"Here, these clothes are new and keep you warm." Mother Lin first distributed the clothes to Hunter Xin and Dazhuzi's family.
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law." Xin the hunter's mother expressed her gratitude. She had been severely frozen and her lips had turned pale.
"You're welcome. Here's some hot soup. It's mutton soup. You won't be cold after you drink it." Lin's mother said enthusiastically.
