Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Disaster Left for a Thousand Years 5
After eating two Earth Fruits, despite their bland taste, the unbearable hunger roaring in his stomach finally subsided a bit.
However, eating these two roasted fruits, which lacked much moisture, left him with dry mouth.
Bai Zheng glanced back at Fengyin and the others, then slowly rose to his feet and headed toward the cave entrance. He seemed to be off guard, yet he constantly checked on them from the corner of his eye.
Since no one stopped him or said anything, his guess was finally confirmed.
It seemed these Beastmen did not recognize him, and perhaps rescuing him was just an accident.
The sky outside the cave had already darkened. Bai Zheng drank a few mouthfuls of water from the river and studied the surroundings with a slight frown.
He was not familiar with the wilderness, and combined with his earlier fainting spell, he was now completely lost and clueless about which direction to take.
Moreover, it was nearly nightfall, and although human sight would not be affected by the darkness, it was not safe to roam alone in the forest at night.
Somewhere in the wilderness, a mountain god had been provoked, so all the game had disappeared. He wasn’t sure whether animals were just hiding out of fear or had really left the wilderness.
To be safe, he decided to set out at dawn...
Back in the cave–
Ma Li asked quizzically, "Young Master, are you really letting him just leave?"
Fengyin laughed carelessly, "Why the rush? His injuries haven’t healed yet, and it’s already late. He’ll surely come back."
No sooner had he finished speaking when...
Footsteps echoed from outside the cave.
In a short while, the figure of Bai Zheng reappeared at the entrance to the cave.
Looking at Fengyin, Ma Li smiled, holding his tongue.
Fengyin casually greeted Bai Zheng, "It’s getting late and you’re alone. Why not wait here until dawn? Rest assured, we won’t stop you."
A thought crossed Bai Zheng’s mind.
This Beastman seemed good-hearted. He not only saved him, offered him food, but also showed genuine concern for him.
No matter what, he ought not to treat him coldly. So, he nodded faintly in appreciation, "Thanks for your kindness... I’m Bai Zheng. How should I address you?"
Suppressing his inner excitement, Fengyin casually replied, "I am Fengyin from the Zhaoying Tribe. You can simply call me Fengyin." While speaking, he seemed to adjust his sitting position unintentionally, accidentally aggravating his arm wound and wincing in pain.
Noticing this, Bai Zheng could not help but ask, "Fengyin, what happened to your arm?"
Fengyin chuckled bitterly.
"Well, it’s quite embarrassing. My arm was injured by a ferocious Winged Tiger Beastman. I was just about to seek medical treatment."
Bai Zheng was taken aback.
"A Winged Tiger Beastman? The one you speak of, is he the chieftain of the Winged Tiger Tribe?"
Fengyin observed the resentment and indignation in Bai Zheng’s eyes, a familiar look indeed!
With genuine surprise, Fengyin asked, "I don’t know his identity, but his fur was silver. Could it be that you also...?"
The hatred in Bai Zheng’s eyes grew more evident.
He gazed at Fengyin earnestly, "Yes, that’s him, the chieftain of the Winged Tiger Tribe!"
Fengyin widened his eyes, then dropped his head sadly, seemingly murmuring to himself, "So it was the chieftain of the Winged Tiger Tribe... Initially, I thought I would go to the Winged Tiger Tribe after recovering to inquire why that Beastman knocked me out of the sky for no reason. The sky is so vast, I wasn’t blocking their path..."
