Deep in the mountains.
Hidden cave.
Lin Yu opened his eyes in a daze, his arms and lower abdomen still aching. Only then did he realize that he had been tied up, and dozens of bandits were sitting casually on the ground around him.
"Deputy gang leader, this kid is awake!" Seeing that Lin Yu was awake, the bandit who was in charge of guarding shouted loudly.
"Wake up, kid..."
Hearing this voice, the scarred man walked up to Lin Yu.
Even as a prisoner, Lin Yu didn't bother to deal with these bandits. Secretly thinking of his luck, he concentrated his strength on his arms, trying to break the rope.
Seeing his actions, the scarred man smiled coldly.
"I know you are dishonest, so stop struggling. When you fainted, I had already given you a Qi-dispersing pill. No matter how hard you try, your inner strength will not appear!"
"What?!"
Lin Yu was shocked. Although he didn't know what "inner energy" was, his whole body was weak and weak at this moment, and he was indeed unable to mobilize the warm current from before.
"Kid, tell me, how did you develop your inner strength? Who is your master?"
The scarred man didn't talk nonsense and directly asked the doubts in his heart.
At this time, Lin Yu also made a guess. The warm current in his body must be what the other party called "inner energy"!
And the reason why he was able to cultivate inner strength must be because of Xuan Gangjin, but Xuan Gangjin was left by the eldest son. He was secretly learning it on his own, so naturally he couldn't let others know about it.
"Based on your skills, it doesn't look like you were guided by an expert. Could it be that you encountered a strange encounter or took some treasure from heaven and earth to generate this inner strength?"
Lin Yu continued to remain silent. He did not want to have too much communication with the bandits.
The man with the scar wasn't angry either, and continued to be tempting.
"You are able to cultivate inner energy at such a young age. You must have quite a lot of talent. As long as you become my disciple, kneel down and kowtow and call me master, I will untie you, how about it?"
"Bah! Don't even think about asking me to be the disciple of a bandit like you!"
Lin Yu was very disgusted with these bandits. He didn't expect that they would ask him to become their disciple. It was simply outrageous!
"Snapped!"
Suddenly he was slapped on the face, and at the same time, the voice of the person responsible for guarding the bandits rang in his ears.
"Boy, don't be so shameless!"
The scarred man stopped the bandit with a wave of his hand and looked at Lin Yu with a pleased look.
"I didn't expect that you brat has quite a personality. Don't you want to be my apprentice? Well, I'll give you time to think about it. However, your thoughts are useless! Now that you have no inner strength, you are just a helpless person. This little baby cannot escape from my grasp!"
After speaking, the scarred man ignored Lin Yu and walked to the large armchair in the center of the cave to lie down.
Lin Yu was not idle either. He mobilized his inner energy many times to no avail, so he secretly used the "Xuan Gang Jin" mental method to regenerate his inner energy.
Sure enough, after running for several cycles, a faint stream of air was generated in his lower abdomen.
Lin Yu was overjoyed to see this. As long as he could regain his luck, he would still have hope.
However, he immediately stopped exercising. At this time, the scarred man was watching not far away. If he discovered the movement, then what he did would be in vain.
In the next few days, Lin Yu barely survived without any food and only very little water.
"No, if this continues, I will definitely starve to death!"
After not eating a grain of rice for four consecutive days, Lin Yu's intestines and stomach tightened, and he felt severe pain in his shriveled stomach. He was extremely thin.
"How's it going? Kid, can't you hold on any longer?"
Seeing Lin Yu's appearance, the scarred man tore off the freshly roasted chicken legs from the campfire and placed them in front of him.
"Kid, call me Master, and this chicken drumstick will be yours."
Lin Yu swallowed, raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists tightly, and answered extremely weakly.
"Stop dreaming, I will never take a thief like you as my teacher!"
"No problem, let's see how stubborn you can be! It's a pity that I can only enjoy such delicious chicken legs on your behalf, haha!"
The man with the scar took a big bite, his face full of enjoyment.
This scene was really unbearable for Lin Yu, who had been hungry for four days. He had to close his eyes tightly and try not to be affected by the other party.
However, the aroma of the drumsticks was strong and tantalizing, just like the temptation of the other shore flower, which made him extremely painful.
If he had faced such inhuman torture two months ago, Lin Yu would have fallen. But the two months of hard training under Wu Yi not only strengthened his body, but also tempered his strong willpower. How could he give in easily?
As time passed, the pain of gastrointestinal tightening became more and more intense, and Lin Yu's consciousness gradually blurred. His head suddenly sank and he fainted on the ground.
"Deputy gang leader, this kid is fainting from hunger." The bandit in charge of the guard reported after checking.
"Faint from hunger?"
The scarred man's face was livid. He didn't expect this kid to be so determined. Even though he hadn't eaten for four days, he still refused to give in.
Staring at the unconscious Lin Yu, the scarred man felt angry and regretful in his heart: Such an outstanding talent, coupled with a firm will, cannot be used by me!
Half an hour later, Lin Yu woke up from the pain of hunger in his belly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the steamed buns and noodles in front of him.
"Eat, boy."
Seeing that Lin Yu was awake, a bandit picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Lin Yu's mouth.
Lin Yu still has some impressions of this bandit, and his name seems to be "Qian Bao".
The instinct of survival prevented Lin Yu from caring too much and swallowed the food in front of him.
The steamed buns and pancakes were dry and hard, and even had a rancid smell. It was obvious that they had been stored for a long time. However, in front of Lin Yu, who had been hungry for four days, there was delicious food.
After devouring several steamed buns, he finally felt a little full.
"Thank you!" Although he was disdainful of the bandit's behavior, Lin Yu also said thank you.
"No need, these are rewards from the deputy gang leader. I'm just following orders."
The bandit replied lightly and left directly.
After eating, Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the scarred man on the big arm chair.
At this time, the other party was leaning on the chair, snoring loudly. Lin Yu was stunned at first, and then secretly rejoiced.
During the few days he was trapped, he secretly used the Xuan Gang Jin method every night after the bandit was asleep, secretly accumulating internal energy. Now, he has accumulated a lot of internal energy in his dantian, and he has been looking for suitable opportunities to escape.
Now that he was well fed and drunk, the scarred man slept like a dead pig. He was fully capable of escaping. Naturally, he would not let go of such an opportunity.
Afterwards, Lin Yu closed his eyes, and his inner breath slowly circulated in his body, wrapping around his whole body and finally gathering in his lower abdomen.
After repeating this cycle for six times, Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, and a strong aura emerged on his body. Then, his bound feet kicked hard toward the ground, and his whole body jumped up in vain, with lightning on his legs and arms. unfold outward.
"Bang!"
The rope on Lin Yu's body was instantly pulled to pieces.
"what happened?!"
Hearing this loud noise, all the bandits stood up.
The scarred man was also awakened and suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
After breaking free from the rope, Lin Yu didn't stop at all. Inner energy poured into his feet, and he sprinted towards the exit of the cave in an instant.
"Stop him!"
Faced with the sudden change, the bandits were unable to react at all. Lin Yu was like a crazy buffalo, forcing the intercepted bandits to fly away.
When Lin Yu came to the entrance of the cave, the scarred man realized and quickly pursued him.
When they came outside the cave, the two figures walked one behind the other, shuttling through the mountains like ghosts. One side is a hard rock wall, and the other side is an abyss. If there is a slight mistake, you will be shattered into pieces.
Lin Yu ran extremely fast, even faster than ever before, but the scarred man was still chasing after him. And his internal energy is about to bottom out. Running at such a high speed consumes his internal energy very quickly.
"Damn it, are you going to explain it here?" Seeing the man with the scar getting closer and closer, Lin Yu's heart was on fire. He didn't want to be captured back to the cave and endure that kind of inhuman torture even to death.
"I can only take a gamble!"
Seeing the curve of the mountain road ahead and several long vines growing on the edge, Lin Yu suddenly had a plan in mind.
Immediately, Lin Yu used his remaining internal energy to run with all his strength, his speed suddenly increased, and he disappeared in the curve.
Seeing this, the scarred man followed suit, but to his surprise, there was no trace of Lin Yu behind the curve.
"Did this kid slip and fall?"
After looking around, the scarred man had no choice but to walk to the edge of the cliff to investigate.
It was getting dark at this time, and the smoke was thick, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on below.
"Falling from such a height, I'm afraid my body would have been shattered into pieces, that's fine!"
The scarred man wanted to go to the bottom of the mountain to investigate, but he was worried that if he stayed too long and would be discovered by officers and soldiers patrolling nearby, he had to turn around and leave.
After a long time, two palms covered with dust appeared on the edge of the cliff, and then a thin figure slowly climbed up. It was Lin Yu who had slipped and fallen!
It turned out that when Lin Yu saw that he was about to be caught by the scarred man, he simply panicked, grabbed the vines on the edge of the cliff and jumped off.
Fortunately, he was relatively thin and the vines were relatively strong, so he managed to save his life.
On the other side, the scarred man stood in front of the cave. A strange smell made him frown, and an ominous premonition suddenly hit him.
"what happened?"
The man with the scar hurriedly ran into the cave, only to see blood everywhere in the cave, and broken bodies scattered on the ground. And the smell he just smelled was the blood all over the ground.
"Yo, I'm back."
Inside the cave, a young man covered in blood greeted the scarred man with a smile.
At this time, the young man slowly withdrew his hand from Qian Bao's chest and took out a bloody heart.
