CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 372: SELF-RESCUE

Northern Domain Three Evils, overflowing with malevolence, with numerous enemies. They often need to avoid their nemesis, thus they are extremely familiar with the terrain of the entire Northern Territory of Dan State.

They know like the back of their hand where to hide.

"In such an open area, battling a large army is extremely unwise. If we can hide inside a mountain cave and guard from an advantageous position, there might still be a chance to survive!" Chu Feng immediately agreed with the suggestion of Poison Eye Dragon King.

A total of twelve people, heading to attack Lonely Thunder Peak.

"You plan to hide inside the Thunder Cave of Lonely Thunder Peak? Perfect, I, the Beixie National Master, will catch you all in one fell swoop!" The Beixie National Master seems to have anticipated everything, truly a peerless person with deep schemes.

No wonder he was appointed the Beixie National Master.

"I will make your Northern Beixie Empire regret this!"

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, hiding inside the Thunder Cave along with Elder Shoumei and others.

As soon as they entered, they heard a hissing noise coming from deep within the cave. It resembled the sound of electricity.

"Deep inside the cave, there’s a large amount of natural thunder. You all must not go further, otherwise, even a Sword Saint would be electrocuted to death!" Poison Eye Dragon King hurriedly warned Chu Feng and the others.

Looking ahead, deep inside the cave, flashes of silver brilliance and electric sparks shone intermittently.

It was truly terrifying.

"Let’s all rest near the entrance of the cave! Heal up!"

"I will set up the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation at the entrance, blocking the enemies together with the Northern Domain Three Evils. Be ready to rotate at any moment!" Chu Feng made strategic deployment arrangements.

The second and third of the Northern Domain Three Evils kept sizing up Chu Feng with curious eyes.

They did not know what was so miraculous about this young man that he could address their eldest brother as an equal.

Awhile ago, when their eldest brother heard that Chu Feng was in danger, he didn’t even think twice before immediately bringing them along to rescue him.

Chu Feng spread out the Sword Formation Diagram at the entrance, then guided the Northern Domain Three Evils into the diagram, instructing them to stand in their positions.

The Divine Weapons of Poison Eye Dragon King and the others were all mid-grade or above. Moreover, all three of them were of Sword Saint Level.

It must be said, these roguish people, who looted and pilfered, were even richer in wealth than the Sect Elders.

The Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation set up by these three naturally had greater power.

"Hehe, this Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation is truly extraordinary!" Smiling Maitreya looked around inside the formation. He could feel his strength merging with the sword formation.

He could also sense the mysterious intricacies of this formation.

It was even more terrifying compared to some of the powerful sword formations he had seen before.

"Third brother, you better not think about harming Brother Chu, otherwise, you’ll die a dreadful death," Poison Eye Dragon King warned.

"Hehe... What are you saying, big brother? Do I, Smiling Maitreya, seem like that sort of person?"

Smiling Maitreya was indeed that sort of person. Chu Feng personally witnessed him slaying an enemy soldier, then his expression remained unchanged, still all smiles.

After discovering Chu Feng’s Sword Formation Treasure Map was extraordinary, he immediately harbored thoughts of murder and robbery.

The reputation of the Northern Domain Three Evils was not in vain. Each of them had a ruthless and dark heart.

After being warned by Poison Eye Dragon King, it was unclear whether Smiling Maitreya took the warning to heart.

The enemy army outside the Thunder Cave tried to attack twice, but after Chu Feng slashed a Sword Saint, they were frightened and dared not attack again.

In such a special terrain, even if the Beixie National Master had great skills, it was not possible for him to set up an array.

Moreover, setting up an array requires many preparations and has high demands.

After trying to force an attack twice and suffering setbacks, the enemies learned their lesson. They no longer made futile sacrifices and gathered outside the Thunder Cave, surrounding it without attacking.

"There is no food in the cave; you won’t last long!" The cold and arrogant voice of the Beixie National Master resonated from outside the cave.

Inside the Thunder Cave, there was, if nothing else, a scant water supply that could barely sustain the twelve of them.

Beads of water seeped from the ceiling of the cave.

One just needed to collect it in a jade box or a porcelain bottle used for storing Elixirs, and this could solve the drinking water issue. The water was clear and clean, as sweet as mountain spring water.

However, the lack of food in the cave was a significant problem.

Even those at the Sword Saint Level couldn’t go without food for long periods. They would definitely starve to death.

"Husband, what should we do? It’s not a solution to keep hiding in the Thunder Cave!" Han Xiaoying furrowed her brow, her face full of worry.

The others were also in low spirits.

"Don’t worry for now, I have a bottle of Fasting Pills here, one for each of you, which can keep you from needing to eat for half a month," said Chu Feng. He had prepared these Fasting Pills initially for entering the Sword Tomb.

Unexpectedly, they hadn’t spent much time in the Sword Tomb.

Now, they proved to be of great use.

Originally, if he were to use them alone, he could go without food for six months.

Now there were twelve of them, and each person could only last half a month without food.

"Boss, what exactly is your relationship with this kid? With our strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult to escape."

"We rescued him and brought him into the Thunder Cave, doing all we could out of kindness. Maybe it’s time to..."

The intention of the Poisonous Tumor Monk could not be clearer; he wanted to abandon Chu Feng and escape on his own.

They were all of Sword Saint Cultivation, each with immense strength and plenty of life-saving means. The success rate of escaping was very high. At worst, they would get slightly wounded, which is still better than starving to death in the cave.

"Shut up! If you want to leave, then leave. I will stay and advance or retreat with Junior Brother Chu!" The Poison Eye Dragon King rudely interrupted, clearly stating his stance.

The Poisonous Tumor Monk exchanged a glance with Smiling Maitreya.

"Hehe... Big brother, why the anger? The second brother didn’t say anything wrong; we are neither kith nor kin with this kid, it’s not worth risking our lives. We, the Northern Domain Three Evils, are good at harming others, not saving them."

Smiling Maitreya spoke much more mildly.

"If the big brother insists on going his own way, we can hold out for at most another twelve days. If there’s no turning of the tide by then, we’ll immediately leave," decided the Poisonous Tumor Monk.

The Northern Domain Three Evils were not inherently bound by loyalty; in the face of major differences over interests, they could easily part ways.

"You, you..." The Poison Eye Dragon King was so angry his one eye bulged, and his body trembled.

He could not believe that the two brothers with whom he shared life and death were showing such indifference and cruelty.

"Stop arguing! Those two owe me no kinship or friendship. Helping me is a favor; not helping is their right. Twelve days should be enough."

"Rest assured, I guarantee that each one of you will leave here safely," said Chu Feng, his eyes cold.

Under the current circumstances, relying solely on outside help was definitely not feasible. He needed a plan to deal with the Beixie Emperor and the Beixie National Master.

Chu Feng thought of using poison.

If the poison of the Poison Eye Dragon King could wreak havoc far and wide, the poisons he prepared could be even more terrifying. By poisoning the Beixie National Master and the Beixie Emperor, he could immediately make them submissive.

Thinking this, Chu Feng started frowning, considering how to poison these two important figures of the Beixie Empire.

"The beauty trap seems to be the easiest method!" Chu Feng’s gaze inevitably lingered on Han Xiaoying and the other two ladies. His own wife was, of course, not an option.
