Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 303 Fear

"Wei Xi, wake up!"

The heart-wrenching howl almost made Wei Xi's heavy eyelids fall back.

When Wei Xi struggled to open his eyelids, he saw two worried faces.

Fortunately, Wei Xi thought, it was not the dead face with a rotten chin just now.

"Wake up! Wake up! What's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? Go get some water!"

Lian Gouqie hurriedly brought a bowl of warm water. Wei Xi, thirsty, drank most of it and asked, "Did I just faint?"

"I got up to replace you, but I saw you lying on the ground with sweat on your forehead," Qin Feng said with lingering fear. "I was worried that there was something strange in the mountains, so I quickly woke up Lian Gou."

"But we couldn't wake you up no matter how hard we tried. Just now, your hands and feet were twitching, and you were yelling things like 'run!' and 'something strange!' You struggled to wake up on your own!"

After hearing this, Wei Xi remained silent for a long time. The other two people followed her lead and did not disturb her thoughts. They just gathered some firewood and put themselves under martial law.

If someone said that the strange thing just now was a dream, Wei Xi would not believe it at all. After all, the scene just now was so real, it was not like an ordinary dream at all.

Besides, Wei Xi wasn't someone who didn't know the importance of things, so she naturally wouldn't fall asleep while on duty. Especially during the first half of the night, if she could just get through it, she could get a good night's sleep. And since she was a very patient person, she would get up and move around from time to time, so it was impossible for her to fall asleep on her own.

It's clear that he was tricked!
Wei Xi gritted her teeth, a surge of anger in her heart, burning her eyes as bright as a night cat: Being plotted against was one thing, but the most hateful thing was that she had no idea who had done this!

Suppressing his anger, Wei Xi told the two of them about the strange thing that had just happened, trying to find clues.

"Old blind man?" Lian Gouqie looked troubled. "You don't dream about things during the day, do you? That old man might just be making up some nonsense to make a living. Don't take it to heart!"

"I think you're dizzy," Qin Feng, who insisted that Wei Xi had a nightmare, whispered, "You were holding a knife and releasing spiritual power in your dream. Now look, where did the knife come from? Is your Qi Palace deficient?"

Wei Xi pouted. She was now lying in her own bedroll, unarmed except for a dagger stuck in her boot. With a slight movement of her spiritual power, her small Qi Palace was filled.

No! Wei Xi, with a pale face, began to turn over the quilt.

Wei Xi remembered that she had deliberately left her warm bed in order to stay awake. When she woke up just now, she thought Qin Feng had moved her back, but from what she said, she actually woke up in bed.

There was a piece of wet dirt on the edge of the quilt. Wei Xi, with a pale face, put his finger under his nose, and a faint stench of corpse rushed into his nostrils.

Wei Xi reached out and touched it again, and the moist soil had the shape of a corrugated cover.

Seeing Wei Xi's face as pale as gold paper, the remaining two knew that something big had happened.

Qin Feng drew out his gun and protected the two of them behind him, fearing that some monsters would suddenly appear in the woods.

"It was the corpses..." Thinking of the rotten corpses half-kneeling on the ground to cover themselves with a blanket, Wei Xi's teeth trembled no matter how brave he was. "It was those corpses that sent me back to the bed!"

"What on earth is that thing! It's so close to the camp and we didn't even notice it!" Lian Gouqie, who has been stealing for many years, is extremely alert, but today he was caught in a trap.

At this moment, Wei Xi calmed down: the three of them were still alive, which meant that the other party did not want to or could not take their names, otherwise the three of them would be crying in their graves.

Wei Xi jumped up and turned the small camp upside down, but unfortunately he didn't find any more traces.

After finally making it to dawn, Wei Xi tried to use the remaining soil to perform tracking magic.

"Do you know its name?" Wei Xi shook his head and slowly explained, "What happened last night was too strange. That rotting corpse... I don't know what it is, not even whether it's dead or alive. How can I find it?"

"This soil is definitely dead. We might be able to find out a little bit by using the tracking technique."

The devil is one foot taller, but the Tao is ten feet taller. The tracking formula, a long-standing formula, has undergone countless iterations and variations, resulting in countless methods of countermeasures. It's truly a bit of a tad useless, with most cultivators only learning the basics.

Wei Xi, however, adhered to the idea of learning well and applying it well, and he mastered the tracking technique to perfection. He could use it with ease. He held the soil in his left hand and quickly pinched the magic formula with his right hand.

Light green spiritual power enveloped the soil. Wei Xi felt the approximate direction and his face finally stopped being gloomy.

Following the instructions, the three of them wandered around in the woods for a long time and arrived near a village.

The tracking spell was ineffective here, and Wei Xi, who was hiding in the woods, frowned: this place was quite far from the camp, and his whereabouts should not be exposed.

According to the tracking method, the rotten corpse last night either passed through here and was wiped out, or it came from this village and was hidden by the culprit.

"Should we go in?" Lian Gou asked quietly, "That uncle of yours said the tribes in the mountains aren't very friendly... do you believe that?"

"Xiao Xi, we're here to look for materials. It's best to stay out of the inter-tribal affairs!"

Wei Xi pondered for a moment and replied, "Don't trust everything the Tao Bin tribe says. There's no need to contact them just for the Immortality Wood. We might as well take a long-term view."

"It's just that the rotting corpse is related to this tribe. If we don't find a solution, what happened last night will happen again in the mountains."

"Time," Qin Feng sighed. "Even if we want to take the long view, it will take time to get down the mountain. If that thing had dared to attack Wei Xi last night, we three might have died together that day!"

The three of them agreed to set up camp two miles back to prevent any incidents from happening tonight and alerting the people in the village. At night, two people would work together to find out who was causing the trouble. If the strange thing happened again, they would have to enter the village.

When setting up camp, Qin Feng caught a rabbit, but he didn't skin it or roast it. "I want to try to escape the corpse and lend it a life!"

"Whoever gets hit, kill the rabbit first!"

Last night, the two sides couldn't wake each other up, and Qin Feng's brain was also strange, so he came up with this idea.

In the afternoon, the three of them took turns to rest and prepare for the tough battle at night.

Wei Xi felt gloomy, feeling that his luck was bad, and even finding materials was full of twists and turns. He then began to suspect that something had gone wrong, that someone was plotting against him. He counted his enemies and found that he had many enemies. For a moment, he didn't know who to take the blame for this.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Feng was wiping her cold face with cotton cloth. Seeing that Wei Xi looked gloomier than usual, she smiled and said, "Ever since I met you, you've always been full of ideas and brave... Why did you get scared last night?"

Seeing that Wei Xi didn't answer, Qin Feng continued, "There are some things you don't need to think too much about. How can you have everything under control? Besides, we'll always be there for you. Why should you take on everything alone?"

"I just think Jiuai Mountain is weird," Wei Xi said softly, "From Sucheng to here... it's too much of a coincidence!"

"The truth will eventually come out," Qin Feng raised his head and said coldly, his eyes flashing, "You are such a ghost!"

　Qin Feng could understand it if she thought about it in the right way, but it was not so clear if she thought about it in the wrong way. However, her strength was not being a wise general.

　　Wei Xi has a high IQ and is quick-witted, but he also tends to worry too much and easily gets into trouble.

　　Lian Gouqie has the kind of brain that relies on experience and experience. He is smart about things he cares about, and a little stupid about things he doesn't care about.
