Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 538 Old Friend
"Old Wei, are you okay?"

Looking at Wei Zhen who was blind in one eye, Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown.

"I can't die, but you..."

Wei Zhen waved his hand nonchalantly, and his only remaining eye kept looking at Zhao Feng, as if he didn't know him.

But before he could finish his words, a sharp and rapid whistle suddenly sounded in the canyon and spread far away.

Zhao Feng's face turned ferocious and murderous.

Li Xuan also quickly patted him with his tail, indicating that there were still enemies.

With his keen perception, Li Xuan noticed that there were two masters who hid their aura very well at the entrance of the canyon.

After hearing the whistle, they immediately abandoned their hiding means, jumped out of the snow pile, and tried to escape.

"You're here and you still want to leave?"

Zhao Feng sneered, and the next moment his figure turned into a breeze and disappeared, leaving Wei Zhen stunned.

"This old guy has made a breakthrough!?"

Wei Zhen murmured to himself, his shock beyond words.

He and Zhao Feng entered the palace at the same time, and have been good friends ever since then, so they know each other's situation best.

Now that I see that Zhao Feng has broken through his original realm, how can I not be surprised.

Especially when Zhao Feng disappeared earlier, Wei Zhen could not detect Zhao Feng's breath at all.

“Is this the state of enlightenment?”

"I don't know what this old guy has realized."

Wei Zhen looked in the direction where Zhao Feng disappeared, his eyes filled with envy.

For warriors, especially high-level warriors like them, there is nothing more enviable than a breakthrough.

Before Zhao Feng went to chase and kill the two fourth-rank masters, he left Yan Shang and Li Xuan where they were.

Wei Zhen looked at Yan Shang and said to him:
"Well done, Xiao Yanzi!"

Zhao Feng's arrival made Wei Zhen realize that Yan Shang had found reinforcements and completed the mission brilliantly.

Yan Shang chuckled and bowed in return.

Then Wei Zhen looked at Li Xuan again and couldn't help but look strange.

"When did Lao Zhao get a cat? And he brought it here."

Although Wei Zhen felt strange, it was not the time to worry about it.

He casually threw the head in his hand aside, then sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

Although Wei Zhen spoke arrogantly just now, he knew his own situation best. If Zhao Feng had not arrived just now, the most he could do was to fight to the death with the remaining two people.

Wei Zhen took two deep breaths, then reached out and grabbed the ice spike that was stuck in his eye.

If he doesn't pull this thing out, his brain will be frozen.

As for the fact that he had lost an eye, Wei Zhen didn't care at all.

Under the previous circumstances, he was lucky to be alive.

And from the scars on his face, it is not difficult to tell that he is a person who is accustomed to walking on the edge of life and death.

Apart from life and death, all other injuries are minor.

Before Wei Zhen could pull out the ice spike, Li Xuan stepped forward and held down his big hand.

Wei Zhen was stunned. He actually didn't see clearly how the black cat approached him.

But it was reasonable that he was seriously injured and in bad condition at the moment, so no one paid too much attention to it.

Wei Zhen waved his other hand, trying to drive Li Xuan away, but his other hand was also held down.

"Ok?"

This time, Wei Zhen realized something was wrong.

Wei Zhen didn't dare to use too much force on the hand holding the ice spike because his eye was injured.

But now he found that he couldn't push away the tiny cat's paw even with his free hand.

Wei Zhen felt annoyed. It was bad enough that he had led the team into this mess and narrowly escaped death, but now even a kitten was bullying him.

His blood boiled and he was about to get angry, but Li Xuan had already started treating Wei Zhen.

"Captain Wei, this kitten is a healing beast brought by Manager Zhao. You just need to accept its treatment obediently." Yan Shang explained on the side.

Wei Zhen could feel his wounds starting to itch, and warm currents were flowing into his body, making him feel comfortable all over.

This gradually suppressed his original intention of arguing with Li Xuan. He obediently let go of his hand and slowly allowed Li Xuan to treat his injuries.

The ice spike that pierced Wei Zhen's eyes was melted silently and converted into Yin and Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body to heal his injuries.

Wei Zhen slowly felt that his eyes, which were pierced by the ice spikes, were extremely itchy. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have given up and started scratching.

But after he got through that period, the vision in his injured eye gradually recovered and soon became clear.

Wei Zhen stared with his big eyes, looking a little confused.

He never thought that Li Xuan could actually restore his blind eye.

Wei Zhen blinked his eyes and did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, the eye that had just recovered was unusually clear and he could see things much more clearly than with the other eye.

Li Xuan waved his tail in front of Wei Zhen's newly recovered eyes to test his restored vision.

Wei Zhen seemed to understand Li Xuan's meaning and replied subconsciously:

"My eyes are healed now and I can see clearly."

"Cat, Doctor Cat?"

Wei Zhen didn't know Li Xuan's name, but he still tried his best to show his respect to the benefactor who cured his eyes.

Seeing that Wei Zhen had a good attitude, Li Xuan just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Wei Zhen's eye injury was the most urgent. If time was wasted, Li Xuan was afraid that it would affect his future vision, so he cured his eyes first.

For a warrior, this kind of injury can affect his future training, so Li Xuan is particularly concerned about it.

Next, Li Xuan concentrated on recovering Wei Zhen's other injuries.

Wei Zhen was impressed by Li Xuan's healing ability, and then he sat in meditation and regulated his breathing, cooperating with Li Xuan's treatment.

Not long after, Zhao Feng returned carrying two men in white who looked like dead dogs.

The two men were dressed exactly like the two unconscious fourth-grade masters on the ground, except for some minor differences in the masks on their faces.

When Zhao Feng came back, he saw that Li Xuan was already treating Wei Zhen, and that Wei Zhen's breathing had become much more stable. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

Zhao Feng threw the captured people together and asked:

"I'm afraid these people's backgrounds are not simple. Old Wei, do you have any guesses?"

Being able to dispatch so many fourth-rank masters to hunt down Wei Zhen and his men is something that no ordinary force can do.

Wei Zhen opened his eyes and said through gritted teeth:

"He must have a military background."

"The combined attack method used when besieging me before was already very obvious."

After saying this, Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

This area has a military background and is also hunting down the Daxing hunting officers along the way. Naturally, the biggest suspect is Da Mo.

"Are you from the desert?"

"Recently, Daxing and Damao have gone to war. A few days ago, the advance troops led by Duke Hu set out for the front line of the war between the two countries."

Wei Zhen was not too surprised to hear the news, he just said:
"So there was a war?"

They had been hunting deep in the North before, so it was difficult for them to get news from the outside world.

Although it had been some time since Daxing declared war, Wei Zhen still knew nothing about it.

"It shouldn't be because of this. They have been chasing us for a while."

"We set out to return to the capital in the last month of autumn, and we were hunted down on the way..."

"Let's count the days. Winter is almost over now, right?" It has been snowing in the North. Apart from keeping track of the days myself, I have no idea what day it is.

Especially when Wei Zhen and others were being chased all the way and walking on the line between life and death, they felt that time was passing very slowly.

"It's already halfway through winter," Zhao Feng replied.

"Have so many days passed..." Wei Zhen seemed a little dazed.

"What about the rest?"

Zhao Feng asked this important question somewhat nervously.

Wei Zhen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, it's not their turn to get into trouble yet."

Wei Zhen's words made people feel safe.

Li Xuan had almost finished treating Wei Zhen, and Wei Zhen stood up on his own.

He felt the state of his body, reached out and touched Li Xuan's little head, then thanked him politely:

"Thank you, Dr. Cat."

Zhao Feng at the side said with a smile: "Old Wei, this is Xuan, the reinforcement I invited for you."

"Thanks to you for your help, otherwise I would have to be a one-eyed dragon in the future."

Wei Zhen cursed with a smile, but he didn't have too many reservations while speaking.

"You kid, when you return to the palace you must behave yourself and follow the rules." Zhao Feng shook his head and said helplessly.

Wei Zhen has been the leader of hunting teams for decades and has spent more time in the wild than in the capital.

Although he was born a eunuch in the palace, he has been tainted with a lot of underworld spirit, and his way of speaking is very different from that of ordinary eunuchs in the palace.

"Why go back to the palace? I'll just rest in the capital for two days. You can handle the reporting."

Wei Zhen looked like he didn't want to go back to the palace.

In previous years, when Wei Zhen returned to Beijing to rest, he would stay at Ping An Trading Company, and when the time came, he would go out for the new year's hunting operations.

Anyway, he was alone and had no relatives in the world, so when he returned to Beijing he would just have a few drinks with old friends like Zhao Feng.

Wei Zhen could hardly remember when was the last time he entered the palace.

"This attack is of great importance, and you will definitely need to report the situation yourself."

Zhao Feng dispelled Wei Zhen's hope.

"Take me to see the others."

Zhao Feng waved his hand, controlled the four unconscious fourth-grade masters, and held them by his side with a breeze.

These four people have considerable intelligence value, so we naturally cannot neglect them.

Wei Zhen nodded, and then led them towards the depths of the Yitiantian Canyon.

Coming behind a huge rock, Wei Zhen dug out a blue iron chain from under the snow, which was exactly the same as the one Zhao Feng had used before.

They went deeper along the iron chain, and the wind and snow became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that they were very close to the area where the cold wave was.

After struggling for a while, they finally reached the other end of the chain.

In the special canyon terrain, an igloo appeared in front of them.

"it's me."

"Xiao Yanzi has found reinforcements. We can relax a little now."

As soon as Wei Zhen finished speaking, two figures crawled out of the snow pile in front of the igloo.

They were wrapped in thick fur coats, with only two pairs of frosty eyes showing.

"Little Yanzi!"

The two were very excited to see Yan Shang, and they pulled off the masks covering their faces, revealing two young faces.

Judging from their appearance, they should be in their twenties, about the same age as Xu Lang.

The two young men stepped forward and hugged Yan Shang, their excitement beyond words.

After all, they all thought that Yan Shang would never come back.

They were sure that Yan Shang would definitely go on the mission, but his delay in returning must have meant that he had encountered danger.

Now that they saw Yan Shang was safe and sound, they finally felt relieved.

"Hey, sorry to have made you worried."

Yan Shang smiled sheepishly, then asked curiously: "Why did you build a snow house by yourselves? Where is the house I built for you before?"

Yan Shang looked at the snow house in front of him and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Let's talk after we go inside."

"Now that there is no danger, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

As Wei Zhen spoke, he walked into the snow house first.

The entrance to the igloo is relatively low and you need to bend over to enter.

But the temperature inside is much warmer than outside, at least it won’t be affected by the wind and snow.

Li Xuan followed him in and found that the space inside was not small.

But there were quite a lot of people, so the igloo seemed very crowded.

There were nine people in the igloo, huddled together and leaning on each other to rest.

As soon as you come in, you can feel the depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Everyone get up and go!"

Wei Zhen shouted, and even the snow house shook.

But the people in the snow house reacted very slowly. Only two or three people looked up at Wei Zhen, and the others didn't react at all.

Seeing his teammates become like this, Wei Zhen sighed and said to Yan Shang and others: "Go wake them up, we will leave this place immediately."

Yan Shang and the two team members who were guarding the gate immediately took action.

Zhao Feng frowned and asked, "What happened to them?"

The hunting officers were all the best among their peers, but the people in front of them were obviously not in good condition.

"We've been chased for too long and are running low on food, and we don't have the chance to hunt for more."

"The most important thing is that we stayed in the cold wave for too long and suffered some effects."

Hearing Wei Zhen's words, Zhao Feng's face changed.

"Don't worry, it's not yet to the extent of snow mania."

"But I guess if we delay any further, it won't be long."

"Let's go out and wait for them."

Wei Zhen obviously had something to say to Zhao Feng in private.

Zhao Feng took a look and confirmed that the team members were safe before following Wei Zhen out of the snow house.

Li Xuan glanced at these team members. With such mental trauma, he didn't know whether his Yin-Yang Qi could work.

But at least judging from their vital signs, there were no team members in particular danger.

Therefore, Li Xuan also followed Zhao Feng's footsteps.

When they got outside, Zhao Feng tacitly isolated an area to ensure that their conversation would not be leaked.

Li Xuan just caught up with the last step and got into the area blocked by Zhao Feng.

Wei Zhen glanced at Li Xuan who was following him, and thought that Li Xuan was close to Zhao Feng, so he followed him wherever he went and didn't pay much attention to it.

"While we were hiding here, we made a strange discovery, which may be related to the reason why we were hunted."

Hearing this, Li Xuan and Zhao Feng became serious at the same time.

Then, Wei Zhen said something shocking:

"The cold wave seems to be expanding."
