Chapter 110: Mysterious and Confusing
A small number of troops felt that they had only been doing a very, very long dream in their dreams. In the dream, the heavenly army team's heart called on everyone to fight bravely and kill the enemy, but unfortunately, the number of enemies was really too many, killing one batch after another, and finally, the heavenly army team couldn't hold the entrance anymore, retreating all the way to the central base, and finally, the team leader gave an order, letting the heavenly army team brothers go all out, fighting for the honor of the heavenly army until the last moment.
Zheng Xiaohu didn't know how many enemies he had killed, but the wounds on his body were getting more and more. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, he felt his consciousness starting to get a little unclear, even his arm holding the sword felt extremely heavy. Finally, he stumbled back to the wine cellar. Seeing the overwhelming enemy forces, he helplessly pulled out a grenade from behind him, thinking that even if he died, he would take them down with him. But for some reason, when he pulled the safety pin, he chose to throw it instead. All he remembered was feeling a wave of heat rushing towards him, and what happened next, he wasn't clear about either.
"Ah!" Zheng Xiaohu sat up straight from the bed, panting heavily, his face covered in layers of sweat that kept dripping down.
"Big Brother Tiger, what's wrong?" Leng Xiao Yao arrived at Zheng Xiao Hu's side and asked softly.
"You." Zheng Xiaohu couldn't believe his eyes, the person he was seeing. He blinked again, stretched out his only hand, and pinched his thigh hard, only realizing that he wasn't dreaming when he felt the pain. He was still alive, and thinking of those brothers who had died in battle, Zheng Xiaohu, a man who rarely shed tears, burst into tears like a child.
Leng Xiao saw Zheng Xiaohu's wailing appearance. As a soldier of the elite in his previous life, he could naturally feel Zheng Xiaohu's heartache at this moment. For the first time, he saw his own Tiger Vanguard Regiment being completely annihilated, and it had been less than a year since he joined the Tianjun Regiment. He also witnessed the familiar comrades around him falling one by one, which was a devastating blow to his spirit. Anyone would be unable to accept such a mental torment, even if it were him, someone so cold-blooded. When he saw Huang Tao's dead body, he couldn't help but want to wail and vent the pain in his heart.
Zheng Xiaohu wailed for several minutes before his voice gradually weakened and finally passed out again with a tilt of his head.
Leng Xiao Yao saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, because he was happy for Zheng Xiao Hu, he finally passed the most difficult hurdle. He believed that when he woke up again, he would have undergone some transformation.
At dusk, before the sunset, the afterglow illuminated the earth, dressing it in a light yellow robe. Zheng Xiaohu woke up again and saw Leng Xiao Yao roasting two water arrow rabbits in his hand, a hint of joyful smile appeared on his face, but soon dimmed down.
"Don't get stuck in the past, don't live on sorrow. As long as you're still alive, there will be a chance to avenge this." Leng Xiao said calmly while flipping the barbecue food in his hand.
"Is there still a chance to live?" A glimmer of sharp light flashed in Zheng Xiaohu's dull eyes, and he stood up. He walked towards the bonfire, silently saying to himself: "Brothers, as long as I, Zheng Xiaohu, still have a breath left, I will definitely avenge you, just wait and see."
Leng Xiao Yao handed a roasted Water Arrow Bunny to Zheng Xio Huo and asked, "Brother Tiger, what exactly happened? Why did the Heavenly Army Corps lose so badly? I could understand why the Law Enforcement Squad would attack, but why did both the Evil Wolf Squad and the Devil Squad join in on the battle as well? Was it for benefits?"
Zheng Hu's face revealed a hint of cold smile, saying: "Isn't it still driven by interests on the Maya continent? Besides interests that can make people lose their rationality, what else is there?"
"Let's eat first, and then talk." Leng Xiao raised the roasted food in his hand and took big bites, if someone were to observe him closely, they would notice that his eyes sparkled with light at all times.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiaohu only now realized that something was off with his body, a look of puzzlement on his face as he stared at Leng Xuanxiao, because he believed that his sudden increase in cultivation was absolutely related to Leng Xuanxiao. Leng Xuanxiao saw the puzzled expression on Zheng Xiaohu's face and smiled faintly, chewing on the food in his mouth: "Life Water."
"Water of Life?" Zheng Xiaohu's eyes widened, and after a moment, he smiled wryly and said: "Does the boss really not worry that I'll reveal this secret?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't tell you. Besides, I trust you." Leng Xiao Yao said calmly, and then continued to chew on the food in his hand.
Zheng Xiaohu heard what Leng Xiao Yao said. His face was stunned for a moment, then he showed a sincere expression and said: "Thank you."
Actually, Leng Xiao Yao had a hidden thought in his heart when he was telling the answer, but in the end he chose to inform him. He believed that Zheng Xiao Hu would not betray himself because of greed, knowing that if the strong on the Maya continent knew that he had the secret of the Water of Life, it's likely that all the strong on the Maya continent would appear one by one to contend for it, and at that time another bloody storm would be stirred up. He didn't even want to think about it, let alone the fact that those strong people wouldn't want to have more life-saving symbols, what about their relatives and friends? Leng Xiao Yao chose to inform him truthfully because of Zheng Xiao Hu's character from his days in the Miao Sha Tou to the Tian Jun Tou.
Zheng Xiaohu chewed his food for a few mouthfuls before opening his mouth to say, "How come I've never heard of the Water of Life helping cultivators increase their cultivation before?"
Leng Xiao Yao seemed to have expected Zheng Xiao Hu's question, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he replied: "The Water of Life only heals the injuries on your body. As for your cultivation advancing, it was just an accident on my part."
Zheng Xiaohu heard this sentence from Xiao Yao, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at the calm and collected Xiao Yao with a surprised gaze: "Boss, I owe you two lives now."
"Hehe, let's finish eating first, it's not good to chat on an empty stomach." Leng Xiao Yao said lightly, quickly devouring the food in his hand. "En." Zheng Xiao Hu nodded and also joined the ranks of quickly finishing their meal.
After dozens of breaths, Leng Xiao Yao and Zheng Xiao Hu had completely devoured the food in their hands. The two sat quietly beside the bonfire.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zheng Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I'm not clear what happened in between either. Since the boss disappeared that time he returned to Kyoto, General Huang has been training the troops every day according to your plan, and there's not a single unusual sign within the Tianjun Division. But the problem just happens to occur when the Měng Hǔ Duì left the base for Bianjiang, and it was only after they had left the base for one day that the three major divisions suddenly joined forces to attack the Tianjun Division."
"You're saying that one day after the Tiger Team left, the three legions launched an attack?" A different expression appeared on Leng Xiao's face.
"Alright."
"You didn't remember wrongly?" Leng Xiao Yao asked again.
Zheng Xiaohu saw Leng Xiao being so serious about this matter, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded again and replied firmly: "Absolutely no mistake, because that day was originally led by me with the old subordinates of the Manton team to go to Hu Men, but at that time, the general took care of my single-handed combat disability, so he dispatched Feng brothers and Zhang brothers to lead the team. And that day was also the day when our wine cellar released new wine, so I couldn't be wrong."
After listening to Zheng Xiaohu's words, a few wise glints flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and asked: "Then who took away my grandfather and Fu Bo back then? Was it Ping Fan big brother?"
"Thanks"
"Did you see which direction the golden eagle flew?"
Southwest abandoned
"Didn't I tell you?"
"No way, I'm not so hopeless that I can't even tell directions apart!"
Southwest, cool and carefree, stood up, with his hands behind his back, standing on the top of the cliff, looking in the southwest direction, fell silent.
Zheng Xiaohu's expression changed several times on his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up, walked to the back of Leng Xiao Yao who was silent, and said faintly: "Boss, I suspect that there is a traitor within our Tian Jun Gang this time."
"What did you say?"
Zheng Xiaohu heard the cold and detached voice of Leng Xiao. He simply stated his point: "First, the day you chose to attack these three major legions was also well chosen. You didn't come early or late, but just after the Tianjun Legion's ace troops left. Second, although the outer forces of the Tianjun Legion are not very strong, they can at least hold out for a few hours. But the outer defenses were breached by the three-legion coalition in less than half an hour. Third, none of the scouts monitoring the movements of the three major legions returned to report any news. Don't these three points raise suspicions?"
"Alright, I know." Lan Xiang said indifferently, continuing to gaze silently at the stars in the sky. It seemed as if he was searching for some answer from the sky.
Zheng Xiaohu saw Leng Xiao's actions and was also confused, so he followed Leng Xiao and stood together, quietly gazing at the sky.
After a long time, Leng Xiao finally spoke up and said: "Tiger brother, your injury is not healed yet. The wind and cold on the mountain top will affect your recovery. You should go rest first."
Zheng Xiaohu took a cold glance, nodded silently, turned around and walked to the side of the bonfire under a large tree, leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes.
"Who is behind the scenes manipulating everything? The Lin family? Impossible, with their wealth that rivals a country's. It's impossible they would do something that would harm them by 800 points to gain just 1000 points of benefit. But if it's not the Lin family, then how could the general of the Law Enforcement Army dare to make such a big move? Who has such great influence? Can actually mobilize three major armies at once? What kind of promise was made to the three major armies? What benefits were offered? Who is the insider in the Heavenly Army? Cold Xiao's mind kept spinning, but the more he analyzed it, the more confused his head became. Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind - if it really was him, then he would be truly formidable. He hoped it wouldn't be as he imagined, or else he would die a terrible death. Cold Xiao secretly vowed in his heart."
