Chapter 29: Midnight Raid
Jin Gang rushed out of the cave and ran towards the outside of the valley. He had to hurry up and get the ice bear into the valley, which was their prey and would keep them from going hungry for a while.
As he walked out of the valley, Jin Gang saw Dongfang Xue standing in front of a giant ice bear, seemingly lost in thought. He didn't even notice Jin Gang's approach until he was right next to him, which Jin Gang found strange because Dongfang Xue had always been sensitive and cautious, and this kind of absent-mindedness had never happened before.
"Hey, Dongfang Xue, what's wrong with you?! What are you thinking about?!" Jingang said loudly to Dongfang Xue.
Jin Gang's loud voice was as shocking as his physique, and Dongfang Xue felt like a thunderclap had suddenly exploded beside her ear, almost stunning herself. She turned around and scolded Jin Gang, "You big fool, what are you yelling about? You've deafened my ears!"
"Hey, sorry about that. I saw you were so absorbed in thought, just wanted to remind you, in case the enemy comes, you'll be in danger!" Jin Gang said to Dongfang Xue with a silly grin.
"Don't worry, silly big guy, the person who wants to sneak up on me hasn't been born yet! By the way, how's that little miser doing? Is he seriously injured?" Dongfang Xue asked Jin Gang.
"No. 1 said he was seriously injured and needed to rest for seven days. He told us not to disturb him within the next seven days, or else his injury would become even more severe. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get the polar bear inside, haha, now we have something to eat! No. 1 is really amazing, he can even take down a huge polar bear like that!" Jīn Gāng said, staring at the massive polar bear on the ground, which weighed over two tons, as he spoke to Dōng Fāng Xuě.
"Hmph, silly big guy, you don't even admit it when I call you silly. This Ice Bear wasn't killed by that petty ghost, you didn't hear him shout 'Little Qing' at the end? Then a green light came out and killed the Ice Bear. That petty ghost is really mysterious, what was that green light?" Dongfang Xue said to Jīn Gāng.
"What blue light?! What's this blue light all about?! I didn't see anything, I just saw Number One finish off that big guy with one hit and then I'll have meat to eat. Who cares about the blue light? As long as I've got meat to eat, that's all that matters!" said Jīn Gāng carelessly, and then grabbed onto the ice bear's leg, using his strength to drag it into the valley. The two-ton heavy ice bear was dragged by Jīn Gāng as if it weighed nothing, and soon disappeared into the valley.
Dongfang Xue muttered a few words after listening to Jīn Gāng's words, and then followed behind him into the valley. Jīn Gāng dragged the body of the ice bear to a corner in the valley, found a dagger, and quickly dissected it. The internal organs were thrown aside, and Jīn Gāng cut the meat into blocks, placing them on a snowy patch. He took out a few pieces for later consumption and covered the rest with snow.
As for the polar bear's skin, it was also divided into three large pieces by Jīn Gāng and kept to keep warm in the future. After finishing all this, Jīn Gāng went out to find firewood. Although they had tools to make a fire, without firewood, it was useless. The polar bear's meat was indeed a delicacy, but only when cooked; raw polar bear meat was still inedible.
Dongfang Xue had nothing to do, so she sat at the entrance of the cave watching Jinguang groom the ice bear. When Jinguang finished and went out to find firewood, she looked at Yang Feng who was sitting cross-legged inside the cave, her icy beautiful face occasionally showing a look of puzzlement and confusion.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the entire valley was shrouded in darkness. However, Dongfang Xue was also a cultivator of true energy, and her realm was not low, so she could still see things clearly in the dark night. Just as Dongfang Xue felt bored, she suddenly heard a very faint footsteps coming from afar. Although it was faint, it did not escape her ears. Moreover, Dongfang Xue knew that this was not Jīn Gāng's footsteps, because Jīn Gāng's footsteps would not be so faint. That big fool always walked like an earthquake, and most importantly, this was not the sound of one person's footsteps.
Dongfang Xue found a vantage point to observe the people slowly entering the valley, and was surprised to find that there were over a dozen of them. Moreover, these people were all of Asian descent, and the two leaders were none other than the two Asians who had emerged from their base, excluding Yang Feng and herself. At this moment, Dongfang Xue also learned of their identities through the language they spoke, which was the language of the island nation on the eastern edge of China. No wonder when Karl asked Yang Feng about China in the helicopter, those two people were so unhappy and full of hostility towards Yang Feng - it turned out that they were two devils.
And the rest of the dozen or so people brought by these two devils were also devils. It seemed that they had quickly gathered a group of devils in the camp on the outskirts of the snowy area, but what did these people come here for? Dongfang Xue thought about this question, but soon got the answer.
"Hey, Yamada-kun, you said that roar just now was really the voice of an ice bear?! So someone was attacked by an ice bear?!" One of the two leading oni spoke to another, and the speaking oni showed obvious respect towards the guy called Yamada.
"Haha, Matsushita-kun, that voice is absolutely Ice Bear's, and it's definitely in a fight with someone else. I can hear the anger in that roar." said the guy called Yamada to the oni who spoke earlier.
"According to Yamada-kun's story, who was it that fought against the polar bear?!" said the guy called Matsushita to Yamada.
"Heh heh, who else could it be? It must be those three guys. Only they would come this way. And from the ice bear's roar, I can tell that those three guys are definitely injured. Heh heh, what a great opportunity for us to strike!" Yamada said with a smile to Matsushita.
"What about those three? Hehe, that Hua Xia pig and black ghost are nothing much, but that little girl is not bad. If we find her later, you can't monopolize her, Yamada-kun!" Matsushita said with a smile, his laughter filled with obscenity.
"That's natural, we're good brothers after all. Good things are meant to be shared with everyone!" Yamada said with a smile to Matsushita.
Dongfang Xue, who was hiding on one side, listened to the conversation between the two people and suddenly became angry, her small face turning bright red. She clenched her small fists tightly and pulled out a sharp dagger from beside her foot. With a flash of movement, she displayed her family's light skill and disappeared into the darkness of night.
Those dozen or so devils arrived at the mountain valley and began searching for Yang Feng's trail. Because they were scattered, and it was now deep in the night, they only had a few flashlights in hand, so it was inevitable that there would be places and people that wouldn't be illuminated. This gave Dongfang Xue an opportunity. The little girl bit her teeth tightly, her figure flashing about like a ghost, targeting those who hadn't been illuminated by the light to take them down. The little girl's qinggong was still quite good, at least able to achieve the realm of silent landings, and in this way, she quietly and soundlessly ended the lives of devil after devil.
However, Dongfang Xue was soon discovered. Just as she covered a ghost's mouth and placed a dagger on the ghost's neck, a bright light suddenly turned around and shone on her body. Dongfang Xue saw that she had been exposed, but she didn't feel panicked. With a swift motion of her hand, a blood column spurted out high into the air, ending the life of the ghost in her hands. After that, she turned around and sprinted outwards.
"Chase, chase quickly, don't let her get away!" Yamada loudly shouted to the several devils around him. The other devils heard this and each took out their own dagger to chase outward. When they first arrived on this island, all firearms were taken away, and each person only had a dagger as their survival weapon.
Several devils drew out their daggers and chased outward, but after running a few steps, they were tripped by things on the ground and let out several cries of "ah yo". Several devils holding flashlights shone them downward, only to find that there were several corpses of their own people lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, and they suddenly took a deep breath of cold air.
"Leave them alone, they're useless, actually killed by a woman! Chase and catch that woman, I'll make her wish she were dead!" Yamada said gritting his teeth as he looked at the corpse on the ground.
The remaining devils, after hearing Yamada's words, chased towards the outside of the valley, and Yamada and Matsushita also followed them running outwards, not staying in the valley. Fortunately, they didn't stay in the valley any longer, or else they would have definitely discovered Yang Feng's small cave, and at that time, Yang Feng would have been disturbed, and he would have fallen into an even more dangerous situation.
Dongfang Xue was clever enough to get rid of several devils who were discovered and immediately ran out of the valley, luring these little devils away and not letting them disturb Yang Feng's healing.
