Chapter 539: Rain and Wounds

Wang Zeze walked in laboriously carrying a basin full of rainwater. Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly, walked quickly forward, raised his hand and gently patted Wang Jingyu on the shoulder, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Keep your voice down! Everyone is thinking about going home and hoping that brother can get better soon. Your anxiety will only make everyone more upset. Let's stay calm, everything will be fine."

After saying that, he put the basin aside steadily, with a firm look in his eyes, trying to calm Wang Jingyu's emotions.

They all knew that on this Linxian Island, they were surrounded by bitter, salty and unusable sea water, so they could only pin their hopes on the rain to clean their brother's wounds.

At this time, the hearts of all the sparrow tribe members were filled with a strong sense of homesickness.

Everyone crowded in the corner of the dilapidated house, either staring at the rain outside the window in a daze, or chatting in low voices.

"I don't know how Enxi Mountain is doing now. I really want to go back soon." A young tribesman whispered, his voice full of longing for his hometown.

"Yes, every moment here is torture. I'm looking forward to going home as soon as possible." Another person echoed, his eyes full of longing.

Finally, a gurgling sound came from the kettle and the water boiled.

Aze and Ayu quickly poured hot water into the basin and gently tested the water temperature with their fingers, muttering, "It can't be too hot, or it will hurt the brothers."

They hurried into the shabby house carrying basins of water. Wang Xiuxiu raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude, and took the basin of water.

Wang Xiuxiu used a clean handkerchief dipped in warm water to gently clean the dried blood around Wang Yinxin's wound. Her movements were meticulous and she didn't miss any spot.

After cleaning Wang Yinxin's wound, he immediately cleaned Wang Jiangchuan's.

At this moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that new feathers had grown at the roots of their wings. Two pairs of small wings were slowly taking shape, and each feather exuded new life power.

"Brothers, look, new wings have grown!" Wang Xiuxiu shouted excitedly, tears of joy flashing in her eyes. The tribesmen gathered around, their eyes full of surprise and relief.

"That's great, brothers will definitely get better!"

"Once the brothers' injuries have healed, we can go back to Enxi Mountain together!" Everyone spoke at once, and the depressing atmosphere was instantly broken.

In this small, shabby house, pain and longing are intertwined, but the strong friendship among everyone and the anticipation of returning home make this depressing atmosphere surge with a touch of warmth.

While taking care of the injured, they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the rain would stop soon so that they could return to the embrace of Enxi Mountain as soon as possible.

That night, we arrived at the Fairy Island.

The noise gradually faded away, and the surroundings were wrapped in thick silence. Only the sound of raindrops kept beating on everyone's tense nerves, as if sounding the alarm for the upcoming unknown crisis.

Wang Guihui stood in front of the window, her eyes piercing through the layers of rain, tightly locking onto the chaotic fog outside the island, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression solemn. After a long time, she slowly spoke in a low and steady voice, with a bit of speculation and thought: "It seems that their preparations are almost complete."

Wang Diandian stood quietly by the side with his arms folded. Hearing this, he nodded slightly, his face full of doubt, and responded in a low voice: "Maybe. It's just hard to figure out. They are making such a big fuss and gathering on such a large scale. What exactly are they going out to do?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Xiuxiu's expression was stern, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth. She snorted coldly, her tone full of confidence and disdain: "What good can those guys from the Greedy Clan do? They just go out to plunder and do all kinds of evil. Fortunately, I am quick and have passed the news that they are about to go out in full force to Commander Xiang Zhu."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, their expressions became increasingly serious, and the atmosphere in the room was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.

Wang Yinxin sat on the edge of the bed, leaning forward slightly, always alert.

He looked up at the ceiling, a hint of subtle vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said cautiously: "The barrier we set up this time is extremely tight, layer upon layer, airtight, and the Greedy Clan didn't even notice it."

As he spoke, he glanced at the roof inconspicuously and raised his chin slightly, indicating with a very subtle movement that there was someone hidden on the roof.

When everyone heard this, surprise flashed across their faces, their bodies subconsciously tensed up, and their hands unconsciously clenched, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

At the critical moment, Wang Xiuxiu reacted like lightning. He flapped his wings violently and with the help of this powerful force, he rushed to the roof like a black lightning.

With a series of teeth-grinding "creaking" sounds, a big hole was instantly torn in the rotten roof, and wood chips flew everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, he pulled down the Greedy spy who was hiding on the roof like a chicken.

Then, he moved his fingers nimbly, holding a feather between his slender fingers, and drew it quickly and accurately in the air. Miraculously, the damaged roof was instantly mended as if it had never been damaged, and it fit perfectly.

"Who are you? Who ordered you to do that?" Wang Xiuxiu stepped forward, his expression as cold as ice, his eyes fixed on the spy, and asked sternly.

The spy's face was as pale as paper, but his teeth were clenched tightly, and his face was full of determination. He was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide without hesitation.

"No! We must stop him quickly!" Wang Diandian was extremely anxious when he saw this, and reacted as fast as lightning. He plucked a feather from his wing in an instant, and stuffed it into the man's mouth like an arrow from a bow, firmly supporting his upper and lower teeth and preventing him from succeeding.

"There are actually such loyal warriors." Wang Guihui frowned, staring at the Greedy man with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul, trying to find a clue from his expressionless face to uncover the conspiracy behind the Greedy clan.

However, the spy closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth. No one could pry open his mouth. This silent contest had just begun.

"Who are you? Who is the mastermind behind this?" Wang Xiuxiu's eyes opened wide, as if fire was about to spit out of them, and she once again questioned the spy in front of her in a harsh voice.

Then, he quickly pulled out a rope from his waist, and his hands danced quickly like a butterfly flying through flowers. In the blink of an eye, he had tied the spy's hands behind his back and tied them tightly with the rope. His technique was as skillful as that of a veteran in the battlefield. Every knot was tied tightly and firmly, leaving the spy no chance of breaking free.
