Chapter 1891: Night Raid
The other wolves were startled by Ye Liuyun's sudden appearance, retreated, and when they saw the alpha wolf dead, they immediately turned and fled.
"Come down and help!"
Ye Liuyun also hurriedly called out to Zhao Ming Cheng.
"Oh!"
Zhao Ming Cheng also hurried down.
So many ferocious beasts have died here; if they don't deal with them quickly, more beasts will be attracted.
She immediately jumped down, counted them, and picked up her long spear.
"Drag the wolf carcasses away, arrange them around our tree, spaced apart."
About two hundred steps apart will do.
Then dig up the Yuan Pill and bring it back.
"I'll take care of this Barbarian Bear."
Ye Liuyun and Zhao Ming Cheng immediately began dividing the tasks.
Ye Liuyun directly cut off the bear's head, stripped its hide, and only kept the Yuan Pill, large chunks of bear meat, and the limbs.
Then he extracted the python tendon from underground, bundled the bear meat, and carried it up the tree.
He discarded the remaining python meat and bear body, and helped Zhao Ming Cheng drag them away together.
"That's such a waste!"
Zhao Ming Cheng said regretfully.
"These are enough for us to eat for at least half a month; we can't carry any more!"
Ye Liuyun advised her.
"Alright."
Zhao Ming Cheng could only give up.
After finishing, the two immediately returned to the tree.
Not long after, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw a ferocious beast approaching.
The roars of the Barbarian Bear and the wolf pack earlier kept them from approaching.
Now they were all drawn by the scent of blood, coming to investigate.
Seeing a ground littered with beast corpses, some beasts immediately began feasting.
The beasts that rushed over encountered the corpses, so before they could reach Ye Liuyun's group they started eating; after they were full, some left, while others dragged the leftover meat back.
The other arriving beasts naturally fought another battle.
Ye Liuyun and his companions were safe, watching the beasts tussle through the night.
If they moved directly, they might be discovered by other beasts.
Yet they also did not dare to sleep all night.
When daylight broke, the beasts gradually dispersed.
Ye Liuyun and Zhao Ming Cheng waited until the sky was fully bright, then each shouldered a pile of beast meat and hurried away.
Soon, Ye Liuyun encountered other Martial Cultivators, slayed them, fashioned a large bundle from their clothes, ate some bear meat, roasted the rest half‑cooked, and the two each carried a big bundle to continue traveling.
Before leaving, Ye Liuyun forced Zhao Ming Cheng to take another pill.
When a battle arose, they could only temporarily set the bundle down, or leave Zhao Ming Cheng to watch it.
A day later, Zhao Ming Cheng also felt the pill's effect, shocked by the discovery.
Only then did Ye Liuyun give her all the pills he had obtained earlier.
"Now you know the effect; whether to take the pill is up to you!"
From now on you don't have to guard the bundle; if you wish to fight, you can join in.
"Whoever kills gets the loot."
Ye Liuyun said to Zhao Ming Cheng.
Then he added, "If you don't want to go with me, you can go on your own.
You can also take the bundle of beast meat you're carrying."
"Thank you for looking after me!"
Zhao Ming Cheng finally understood Ye Liuyun's intention and was deeply grateful.
"But I still need you to keep looking after me.
I really can't get out on my own.
I can give you half of my loot!"
Zhao Ming Cheng said sincerely, actually handing over half of the pills to Ye Liuyun.
"Fine, consider it a protection fee for me!"
Ye Liuyun didn't refuse and took it.
Zhao Ming Cheng laughed, "Then you can't shoot me with a crossbow bolt anymore!"
Ye Liuyun laughed awkwardly, "I already said it was just a mistake..."
After that, Ye Liuyun slept much better each night than before, not worrying that Zhao Ming Cheng would make a move against him.
Because he also thought that with Zhao Ming Cheng's strength, he truly couldn't get out on his own.
And these days, following him, Zhao Ming Cheng has still gained quite a lot.
The later gains will only be more than before.
At least before reaching the arena, she has no reason to kill him.
Every night, Ye Liuyun watches for Lei Ming or Long Nv's roars; when he hears a woman's battle cries, he immediately goes to check.
But after walking for more than ten days, they encountered many Martial Cultivators, yet they still hadn't run into Lei Ming and the others.
Ye Liuyun's opponents had average Physical Bodies; he hadn't even encountered a Martial Cultivator who could use Heaven and Earth Power, basically facing no danger.
Generally, four or five Martial Cultivators were something he and Zhao Ming Cheng could handle.
Their Physical Bodies also grew stronger and stronger.
After Zhao Ming Cheng tasted the benefits, he no longer spared the medicinal pills.
Everything a Martial Cultivator does is to increase his strength.
She is naturally not stupid either.
They also try to avoid fighting fierce beasts at night, so the meat they carry is also dwindling.
According to Ye Liuyun's idea, carrying a day's worth of meat would be enough.
There are plenty of fierce beasts here; with their two strengths, hunting one at night and leaving meat for the next day is quite easy.
So the two of them went more smoothly, and their gains along the way were not few.
But later, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil discovered over thirty Martial Cultivators, already possessing a certain scale.
These Martial Cultivators hid themselves, forming a pocket formation, hunting Martial Cultivators in this area, and their takings should be good.
The number of these Martial Cultivators far exceeds what Ye Liuyun and his group can handle.
He immediately took Zhao Ming Cheng and retreated, observing these Martial Cultivators from a distance.
They come out during the day to hunt here, but at night they shrink into a village, either hunting or avoiding fierce beasts.
Upon hearing there were over thirty Martial Cultivators, Zhao Ming Cheng also felt a bit startled and didn't want to provoke them: "Why don't we avoid them?"
No.
These Martial Cultivators are very wealthy; letting them go would be a pity.
We will ambush them at night.
Ye Liuyun insisted.
Although the enemy is numerous, at night he gains an advantage.
But at night I won't be able to help you.
Zhao Ming Cheng said.
It's fine; follow me and we'll see how things go!
Ye Liuyun didn't mind much: "These people all have weapons, good conditions; I estimate they'll definitely use fire at night."
Then alright!
Zhao Ming Cheng also knew Ye Liuyun's eyes were special, and he really had an advantage at night.
Even if they can't kill them all, killing a few and seizing some medicinal pills would be good.
So the two waited until night, then sneaked toward the village where they were.
These people also had someone on watch at night.
Moreover, they weren't sleeping; instead they hid in a ring, placed some fierce beast meat in the village center, and scattered some bloodstains, apparently to lure fierce beasts in.
Ye Liuyun walked around the village a few times and roughly figured out their positions.
Afterward, Ye Liuyun pulled Zhao Ming Cheng and slowly approached the position of a hidden sentry.
That hidden sentry's position was very concealed; they built a shelter with stones, left a door, but locked it from inside, leaving only some fist-sized holes for observing the outside.
Thus even if a fierce beast discovered his scent, it could do nothing to him.
