Imperial Hunters

When Ashley saw Yao Yun being carried down from the ancestral mountain by the natives, she could no longer control her emotions. She ran far away and sat on the ground, crying loudly.

Everyone thought that she would rush over and pounce on Yao Ling, but she didn't do so. She didn't even get a closer look at Yao Yun, as if he was a body covered in an infectious disease virus.

Only the girl seemed to understand Ashley's thoughts. She was blaming herself and feeling ashamed and angry at her own helplessness.

Wei Wuji almost wanted to kill someone.

Together with Commander Lei and Xu Er, he carried the bloodied Yao Ling into the house. First, he washed off the blood and dirt on his body and carefully examined his wounds.

There were more than a dozen wounds from the pecking wounds of the Garuda Bird on Yao Ling's body, but the most serious was still his left arm. Half of his arm had almost been cut off. Even if he didn't need to cut off this arm, it was almost impossible for it to return to normal. However, what they were most worried about now was his beaked head. There were no medical conditions on this island that allowed him to undergo surgery.

Fortunately, Chen had been a doctor for many years, and was familiar with how to treat patients in such a situation.

He looked at that injured arm and asked about the ingredients and uses of those secret medicines that were passed down in the besieging camp. Then, he cleaned up the inside and outside of the wound for Yao Yun and fixed the medicine and bandaged it in order. All he could do now was to not infect the wound and try to keep his arm from being amputated. As for how far he would recover in the future, that was up to fate.

Chen Kusheng took out a bag of silver needles of different sizes and extracted the blood clot on his skull. After that, he began to deal with the injuries on his head and other parts of his body.

After tormenting himself for more than three hours, Chen Sha finally let out a long breath and slumped into a chair. Although he had narrowly escaped death in the temple, his vitality was greatly depleted and he was drenched in sweat, unable to say a single word.

Wei Wuji sent someone to get some coconut juice for Chen Chou Sheng to replenish his energy. The old man drank a few mouthfuls and wiped the sweat off his face. Only then did he regain some energy.

He said to everyone, "Although Lord San's injuries are severe, his internal and external martial arts were not wasted and his life is fine. You can rest assured that he will wake up after a few days." But. His arm was severely injured, and he was afraid of his left hand. "It's possible that he's crippled. Even if he recovers well in the future, his functional abilities will be discounted."

When the crowd heard that Yao Xuan's life was safe, they all became a lot more at ease. Commander Lei and the two ladies stayed in the room to look after Yao Yun, while Chen Sha Sheng and Wuji went outside to look for Mae Yell, asking him to fulfill the bet.

Maya and the natives of the other islands were watching the carcass of the Carthaginian bird, and Old White stood on the distant treetops and gave a series of cries, as if in silence and homage to the king of the birds.

Some of the islanders resented the bird for disturbing the divine mountain and its ancestors' peaceful sleep. When they were about to dismember its body with a large knife, Wei Wuji quickly stopped them. He ordered people to carry the corpse of the Garuda Bird to a grass hut and ordered some medicinal herbs to repel the mosquitoes. He was prepared to carefully study this giant bird, which he had never seen before.

Chen Sha Sheng laughed coldly as he asked Mae when he would fulfill his promise.

At the beginning, Mae was still pretending to be stupid. It was only when the muzzle of the handgun was pointed at his chest that she helplessly spread her hands and told Chen Changsheng and the others to follow him to find a guide.

They left the residential area of the island and passed through a forest. From afar, they saw a thatched cottage with unique decorations on the side of the forest. Chen Ansheng stood outside the room and looked at the ornaments made of bones, shark teeth, and turtle shell hanging on the wall. It seemed to be the residence of a Magus.

Before entering, Mae told Chen Susheng that there was a great wizard residing on the island, and she was currently the only guide on the island that could find the Path to the Nether Realm. However, she was already old, and even if she agreed to guide them, it would be difficult for her to experience any more ocean turbulence. She was afraid that before she could find her destination, she would end up dying.

Chen Changsheng did not comment on this matter. He felt that even if this guide was too old to go to sea, he could at least provide some useful information. Thus, he pointed with his gun and signaled Mayer to bring them in.

As soon as they entered, they smelled a strong herbal aroma. The room was stuffy and dark, and an old woman with white hair was curled up on the ground. Beside her, a black iron pot was set up on the fire.

Mae greeted the wizard and told her why she had come. The old woman invited them to sit beside her, and asked a little girl to bring some coconuts for them to serve. It was then that Mayer realized that the old wizard of unknown age turned out to be a blind man.

Chen Sha Sheng asked in a low voice if Mae was lying to him! Mae told him that the inhabitants of the island were known as Brahmanas because their ancestors had been noblemen of high caste, and because they had broken the church law, they had been exiled from the island for generations and had been forbidden to set foot on land on the mainland. The reason why they were not executed was because this group of people were familiar with the sea conditions. Not only could they navigate for the army and merchants, they could also serve as guides when they needed to, guiding them to find the giant turtle floating on the back of the demon city.

Chen Changsheng was about to flare up when that old woman suddenly reached into the pot and pulled out something. Ignoring the boiling soup on top of it, she carefully felt around with her hands.

Borrowing the light of the fire, Chen Changsheng was able to clearly see that it appeared to be the hoof of some animal. It was the hoof of a black donkey.

In China, the hooves of black donkeys were used to ward off evil spirits and were said to guard against zombies. Tombs thieves would usually prepare some to protect themselves, but on this island in the Indian Ocean, no one knew what the old wizard was going to do with the hooves of black donkeys.

Chen Sha was afraid that she was going to use some evil technique to harm people, so he immediately raised his gun and pointed it at her, asking what the old woman was up to.

Mae quickly stopped him and said, "Don't be afraid, she's doing divination."

Sure enough, after the wizard found out that it was a donkey's hoof, his expression turned bad. She chattered to Mayer at an extremely fast speed, so even Chen Changsheng could not completely understand it. He could only wait for Mayer to translate for him.

Mae, listening to the old wizard's divination, told Chen that she had refused to navigate for them. This was a terrible journey, and if she were to guide these people, she would not be able to return. Even if she were to shoot her now, it would be better than dying in the belly of a fish.

Chen Chou Sheng asked if he could provide some useful information, but Mae told him that although this island was said to have been moved onto the back of a giant turtle in the legends, this was of course impossible in the real world. He reckoned that this was just a prophecy. However, the island was hidden in the vast ocean. No map or modern technology would be able to find him. The only way was to let the guide lead them there.

Among the Brahmins on their island, some had been chosen to train as wizards since childhood. At the same time, they were also trained to look for the abilities of the small island known as the Path of the Nether Realm. However, as time passed, the number of people doing this business became fewer and fewer.

At present, the only person on the island who was immediately competent was this old Magus. It was not impossible to train a new guide, but it would take a very long time.

Moreover, Mae had reminded Chen Killer of the most important thing, which was to not try to harm this old Magus. She held a different position in the hearts of the islanders than anyone else, and all the residents of the island were willing to help her drain the last drop of her blood.

Chen Killers did not want to use force, and he also believed that Maya was telling the truth. However, he still told this cunning old fellow that his friends had already paid a huge price for this matter, and they definitely would not leave this place empty-handed. No matter what, Mayer had to help them find Ranga City.

Yao Ling woke up very quickly after the blood clots in his brain had been removed. However, he only spoke a few random words to Commander Lei before falling back into a deep slumber.

In the evening, Ashley brought them dinner. She didn't say anything, just moved a chair over and sat on the edge of Yao's bed in a daze.

When Wei Wuji came in and saw that she was also there, he showed her the metal rod Yao Lin had used to kill the Garuda Bird: "It was pulled out from the body of the big bird. This should be the weapon Third Bro talked about. Is this inside his arm?"

Ashley took the piece of metal and looked at it, but his tears wouldn't stop. "This is our return from Burma," he said. "He said he hurt his arm when he killed the big bear, which was a bit stiff, and I introduced him to a friend of mine who was a doctor, and the two of them decided to fix the piece of titanium alloy into his arm after discussing it. The probe in front of it could stimulate his nerves and help his fingers to regain their flexibility. To use this as a weapon, he was prepared to do so in advance.

Wei Wuji didn't say anything. He nodded his head and sat down opposite of Commander Lei, drinking his wine.

At this time, Chen Sha Sheng and his disciple, Chen Xiaohua, came back from outside and told everyone that things were not going well. Immediately, Wei Wuji went to find Mayer to settle the score.

Suddenly, a young boy about ten years old walked in. He looked like the grandson Mayer had seen in his house. His body was wet and there was a lot of sand on his body. However, he was holding a bunch of green seaweed in his hands.

Seeing that he had come in a strange manner, Chen Changsheng asked him what he wanted.

The child was a little scared. He sneakily glanced at Yao Lin on the bed, then handed the seaweed in his hand to Chen Chensheng, telling him that this was a type of seaweed that had only grown in the lagoons on the island. When the people on the island were injured, they would go to the lagoon to collect some seaweed.

Chen Changsheng asked him if it was Maier who asked him to send it, and the child said that he wanted to send it himself. He admired Yao Ling for being a hero, so he helped them kill that Garuda bird, and was also very smart in instructing Chen Sha Sheng not to underestimate the seaweed he collected.

Seeing that this child was smart and loyal, not like his grandfather, not even like an Indian, Chen had a good impression of him. He reached out his hand to grab a diving knife from Chen Xiaohua's waist and gave it to him. The child thanked him and happily took the gift.
