Chapter 359

362. Chapter 362: Take Out the Heart Blood

I don't know how long I was unconscious.

The first moment Li Yi recovered his perception, he felt intense pain all over his body, as if all the bones in his body had been smashed, and even moving was a bit difficult. He opened his eyes, only to find himself lying in a dim stone house. The stone house was dilapidated and emitted a foul smell, seemingly a place used for raising livestock.

"Where is this?"

A question popped into Li Yi's mind, but afterward, he remembered that he, Jiang Mingtian, Hu Fei, and Zhao Fangji had gone to the depths of the dangerous zone to pick silver strange fruits, but ended up trespassing into a cross-dimensional point and were attacked by a group of... barbarians. Although he fought hard to defeat one, he was no match for the opponent's leader and was knocked unconscious by a punch.

It's just that I don't know how many days I've been unconscious.

Struggling to sit up, only then did Li Yi discover that everything on him had been lost. The extraordinary armor was gone, the Fei Eye Needle at his waist was also gone, and even the storage artifact and the incomplete knife coins he carried with him were lost.

It seemed he had been searched during the period he was unconscious. Except for the clothes he was wearing, which hadn't been stripped off, everything had been taken away.

Such a situation made Li Yi's face sink instantly.

"Was it taken by the man named Juejiao? This is troublesome. Losing the storage artifact is equivalent to losing everything, and without the life repair pod, the injuries on my body won't get better for a while."

He realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

But soon, Li Yi calmed down again. At least he was still alive now and hadn't died, so the situation wasn't at its worst. If the opponent wanted to kill him, they would have taken action while he was unconscious; they wouldn't have put him in a stone house and waited for him to wake up.

Thinking of this, Li Yi supported his painful body, stood up, and walked toward the outside of the stone house.

When he found the outdoors facing the sunlight, he was stunned instantly.

This was actually a village.

Everywhere were houses built of stone. These houses formed a large circle, with a circular open space in the middle. And in the very center of the open space grew an ancient large tree. The canopy was lush and leafy, like a canopy. I don't know what kind of variety it was. And this ancient large tree also bore many fruits. The shape of those fruits was a bit like the silver strange fruit, but the color was vermilion, and red light flowed, equally miraculous.

Li Yi took a look and guessed that this vermilion strange fruit and the silver strange fruit were the same variety, just with different effects.

In the open space near the large tree, there were many children. Those children wore clothes sewn from animal skins, kicking a ball made of old vines, playing and making noise. Occasionally, some robust residents passed by and looked at his side with a bit of curiosity.

"Is this the village of that person named Juejiao?" Li Yi frowned. He looked up at the sky.

He discovered that there were two large mountains towering into the clouds in the distance. Those two large mountains were very familiar; they were exactly the canyon where he used the Thunder Fighter to pick strange fruits before.

It seems this village is not far from that canyon. If he could go there, he could successfully leave here and return to Earth Prisoner.

It's just that

Before that, Li Yi must retrieve his things.

Just as he was looking around, suddenly, a short-haired woman wearing leather armor with a short blade hanging at her waist walked toward this side with large strides. Her gaze was cold, staring at Li Yi with vigilance: "Outsider, the High Priest asked me to watch over you and forbids you from wandering around. You'd better go back to your own room. Although you defeated Zhongchi, it doesn't mean you can get my respect. You trespassed into the burial ground of gods, violated the taboo, and almost brought a destructive disaster to our village."

"What place is this?" Li Yi asked directly.

"This is Mount Shoushan Village. My name is Shanguo, and I am a warrior of Mount Shoushan Village," said this woman named Shanguo.

Li Yi said: "You took my things. This doesn't look like something a warrior would do."

"You were captured by us and are our prey. We have the right to dispose of you, including the things on you. You should be glad you're still alive. If it weren't for the High Priest's word, your heads would have been chopped off to sacrifice to heaven long ago. You should be grateful to us now. And among these captured people, your treatment is the best. Others can only be locked in the dungeon, and some people have already suggested to the High Priest to sell you as slaves to the city, which can reduce the village's food consumption."

Shanguo said unceremoniously.

"What you said makes sense. So if I captured you, do I also have the right to dispose of you?" Li Yi said.

Shanguo hummed: "Don't worry, this situation will never happen. The head said that your physical condition is very bad, and it's not easy to survive. If you want to fight, it will take at least a month. And before your injuries recover, the High Priest will think of how to dispose of you."

"Some things are hard to say for sure." Li Yi's gaze was calm: "I have a suggestion, I don't know if you are willing to pass it on to your High Priest for me."

"What suggestion?" Shanguo asked.

Li Yi said: "Return my things to me and let us leave here. I can give you a large amount of compensation, whether it's food, martial arts, or cultivation methods. As long as you open your mouth, I guarantee I won't let you down. If you want to imprison me or sell me like a slave, I guarantee I will make you regret it."

But just as he finished speaking.

Suddenly, an arrow flew out from not far away.

Li Yi's soul gave a warning, sensing danger, but his body was injured and he couldn't dodge.

An arrow shot into his shoulder, but the power of this arrow was not strong and didn't pierce his body, but the inertia still made his severely injured body unable to help but retreat, and finally, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Bastard, what did you just say? You are just prey captured by our Mount Shoushan Village and have no right to make any demands. Shanguo, move away, I want to teach this guy a lesson and let them know the strength of our Mount Shoushan Village." A young voice sounded, and three teenagers, about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding strong bows, walked over aggressively.

They were very dissatisfied looking at Li Yi and wanted to shoot again as they drew their bows.

Shanguo stopped them: "Zhunhuan, don't mess around. The head said that this person is a powerful warrior and cannot be humiliated. The High Priest is still thinking about how to dispose of them. Before there is a clear order, you cannot break the rules of the village."

That teenager named Zhunhuan looked rebellious: "I didn't humiliate him. Since he is a warrior, then I will challenge him as a warrior. Hey, you guy opposite, dare to fight me?"

Li Yi struggled to stand up again. He looked at the arrow on his shoulder, just endured the intense pain, pulled the arrow out, threw it on the ground, and then stared at these few teenagers, and then said calmly: "You are not my opponent. Fighting me will end very miserably. Want to challenge me? Go drink milk for a few more years before coming."

"What did you say?"

Zhunhuan was furious, feeling he had been severely humiliated. Before he could take action, the other two teenagers beside him were also full of anger and drew their bows to shoot.

Two arrows flew out instantly, rushing straight at Li Yi's vital points.

Li Yi's soul gave a warning. He didn't dodge, just shook his body, avoiding the vital points, but was still shot. Two arrows stuck in his body, blocked by hard bones, and were not pierced through.

He still endured the intense pain, slowly pulled out the arrows, and said: "Can the warriors of your Mount Shoushan Village only attack injured people?"

"I didn't forbid you from fighting back. And here, as long as you can stand up, it proves that you still have the strength to fight. Unless you lie on the ground, I won't stop the bow and arrow in my hand," Zhunhuan said.

"Then you at least have to return the things you snatched from me. My weapons are there," Li Yi said.

"Your things are all with the High Priest. I can't get them back. Shanguo, hand your short blade to him, I want to fight him fairly," Zhunhuan said.

Shanguo hesitated for a moment, then still drew the short blade at her waist and threw it in front of Li Yi: "If you are still a warrior, then accept this battle. But you'd better be careful. If you die in the duel, even the High Priest won't say anything."

"It's really a barbaric enough village. Fists are the rules, and power represents everything. Very good, I like this place," Li Yi looked at the short blade on the ground and revealed a smile: "But I'm not used to using this thing. I still prefer using my own fists."

"And you are right about one thing. Warriors cannot be humiliated. If your barbarism wants me to submit, I will use cruelty to tell you what is called civilization."

Zhunhuan's anger didn't decrease: "Are you done talking? Now that you have a weapon, can the battle start?"

"Battle?"

Li Yi laughed loudly: "A child whose hair hasn't even grown fully is worthy of mentioning battle? It would be about the same if you let your head come over. But before that, let me kill you with my own hands."

Speaking of this, he suddenly let out a long whistle, and then his heart knocked like a heavy drum.

The powerful heartbeat spread, and a terrifying blood and energy surged through his whole body instantly.

Li Yi's momentum climbed to the extreme from the previous listlessness, even surpassing his peak period.

He couldn't bear a few little brats holding bows and arrows shooting at him like a target, nor could he tolerate being captured, having everything taken away, becoming a slave, or being beheaded to sacrifice to heaven. Since he could still control his own destiny now, he shouldn't be compromising or timid.

"I have taken out my heart blood, returned to the peak, come and fight."

Li Yi was like a beast waking up, letting out a deafening roar. His eyes were blood-red, as if glowing with red light, and his killing intent climbed to the peak.

The anger of a martial artist of the Four Seas and Eight Continents finally appeared.

Li Yi thought he would never use this mouthful of heart blood, but ever since his fist intent condensed, the temperament of a martial artist had finally gone deep into his soul and could not be changed.

"You..." At this moment, Shanguo's face changed suddenly.

She couldn't imagine that a person who was severely injured and almost dying would recover his strength and climb to the peak in just a few breaths.

You must know that this person was the existence who had alive and kicking defeated the powerful warrior Zhongchi in the village.

It was fine when he was severely injured before, but now...

"Zhunhuan, Tiezu, Lieshi, you three run away quickly, I'll stop him." Shanguo shouted in panic at this moment, urging the three young people to leave quickly.

The situation before her eyes was no longer something she could control.
