Chapter 697 Death of an Old Friend

I was startled, and then suddenly sat up.

The moment I woke up, I almost instinctively grasped the two knives in my hands, and then, with my eyes wide open, I looked around with a vigilant look.

I saw that the cave was pitch black, and in the middle of the cave, there was a fire. A human figure was lying next to the fire and staring at me.

"You're awake!" A weak voice sounded, and then the figure lying next to the fire moved. He seemed to want to get up, but after struggling for a few times, he couldn't get up, and finally gave up.

"Is there any water?" He asked again.

His voice was very hoarse, as if he was a person who hadn't drunk water for a long time and his throat was extremely dry.

Moreover, this person exuded a rancid odor, which was extremely pungent. Even though I was far away, it made me a little breathless.

I took a deep breath, then rummaged through my backpack, found a bottle of mineral water, stood up, and walked towards the man with difficulty.

After swallowing the ghost bead, although the injuries in my eight meridians were stabilized, it was still far from being healed, and it would take time for the injuries on my body to recover.

In particular, I fell from the sky and I didn't know how many bones were broken. When I stood up, I felt a sharp pain.

"Why did you get here?" Seeing me walking towards him, the man struggled a few times, sat up, and asked in a low voice with his back against the wall.

I shook my head helplessly and said, "I came with the Wushushan reserve. How come you are here?"

As the words fell, I finally came to the fire, and with the help of the firelight, the man's face finally appeared from the darkness.

I saw that the man was extremely shabby, like a beggar, with dishevelled hair and dirty face, and blood all over his body. His body exuded a foul smell, as if his body had already decayed. But even though

his face was covered with blood and his hair was dishevelled, I recognized that face at a glance.

This man was Chujiu's second uncle, Feng Changhe's younger brother, Feng Zhihe!

And before that, it was he who killed the two thousand-year-old ghosts with a single knife and rescued me.

"I followed the flying zombie's footprints all the way here. I thought that this flying zombie was poisoned by my second uncle's snake in the Miao village. In addition, it swallowed too much Feng family blood, so it would become very weak, and I could take the opportunity to kill it. I didn't expect that this flying zombie was so strong. It took him less than three days to get rid of my second uncle's snake."

He shook his head at this point, and then continued with a weak look, "I shouldn't have entered the incubation area. It is surrounded by ghosts. Once I enter, it will be difficult to get out. I My natal dragon was destroyed and seriously injured. I stumbled all the way to escape here. But... my luck has run out and I am destined to be buried here. I thought I would die here like this. If someone comes again in the future, they may only see a pile of my bones, or even my bones may be eaten up. I just didn't expect to meet you before I died. Now, finally someone can help me bury my bones. "

He suddenly laughed when he said this, and I just passed the water to him silently.

After he took it, he drank it up, and I frowned as I looked at the water in the bottle.

The moment his mouth touched the mouth of the bottle, the water in the bottle instantly turned blood-red. It was obvious that Feng Zhihe was seriously injured and had reached the point where he was beyond help.

I turned around and looked around. I saw that the cave extended into the darkness. I didn't know where it led to. Around Feng Zhihe, there was a pile of dry grass and some blood-stained clothing fragments. Those clothing fragments had dried up and were stuck to the ground. It was obvious that Feng Zhihe had been here for a long time.

"Even his natal dragon was destroyed, but he could still hold on for so long. Feng Zhihe is really a ruthless person!" I shook my head secretly.

Before, Feng Zhihe quietly left and rushed to the Miao village of Feng's family. After that, there was no news.

Almost everyone, including me, thought that Feng Zhihe had died in the massacre in the Miao village, but who would have thought that he actually tracked the flying zombies all the way into the incubation area.

It was shocking enough that a person was tracking a flying zombie, and he even followed it into the incubation ground. Most importantly, he had a fight with the flying zombie. Although he was seriously injured and died in the end, if this achievement was spread, it would probably make him famous.

I took a deep breath, then walked in front of him and quietly lifted his clothes.

However, when I saw the wounds on his body, I couldn't help but jump.

I saw that his stomach had been ripped open, and the wound was black and rotten. In his stomach, there were countless worms crawling around from time to time. The scene made people feel scalp tingling and creepy at just one glance.

Feng Zhihe drank all the water in one breath, but after that he started to cough violently. He coughed for several minutes before spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Then he took a deep breath and leaned against the stone wall with a painful look on his face. He looked at me and asked, "Don't worry, my natal dragon has been destroyed. The dragon poison that has accumulated in my body over the years has completely erupted. In addition, I have been poisoned by the flying zombie. I am no longer able to be saved."

He was clearly discussing his own life and death, but at this time, he said it so calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Then, he continued to ask, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine." I nodded.

"That's good, that's good." Feng Zhihe grinned and said, "I originally thought that I would go to the Miao village to give my second uncle and his friends a chance to reform. As long as they gave up their Taoism, I would not pursue the previous things. But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the Miao village, there were corpses everywhere, and only the old uncle was still alive. Maybe this is fate. Oh, by the way, has your Qi sea... been repaired?"

I didn't say anything when I heard it. He shook his head and said, "It's all fate, it's all fate. Fortunately, Chujiu has grown up and can carry the burden of the Feng family. However, Chujiu is still a girl after all. From now on, you have to help her share more. You have to support each other to go further."

"I know, Second Uncle." I nodded.

This was the first time I called him Second Uncle. Before, I didn't have a good impression of him because he always gave me the feeling that he would do anything to achieve his goal.

But at this moment, I only have admiration for him!

Because this is a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for his family!

He obviously didn't expect me to call him Second Uncle, and he was immediately shocked, and then he actually grinned.

But as he laughed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then while gasping violently, he said urgently: "Qian Yu, you must walk out alive, I believe you can do it, you are the apprentice of that old guy Zhang Du'e, he should not... let you die here, and your senior sister, your senior sister is very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine, they will not let you die here. So, no matter what difficulties you encounter, never give up, do you understand?"

"I know." I responded in a heavy voice.

"Alas, I have no sons or daughters in this life. When I die, I can't leave anything for you. It's really sad." He seemed to be at the end of his strength. He couldn't even open his eyes. He picked up a Miao knife from his side and threw it into the fire with a "clang". Then he whispered: "Wait until the poison on this knife is quenched by the fire. You can take it back and give it to my elder brother. It's not a precious thing, just keep it as a souvenir."

"After I die, you will have to dig a pit for me and bury me."

At this point, he suddenly widened his eyes, his hands and feet all curled up, and he whispered: "It hurts so much..."

Then, he straightened his body and was silent.
