Shen Yuanqiong was lying in the grass nest, looking at the shimmering entrance of the cave from a distance, his heart pounding. The effectiveness of "Epimedium" was just hearsay. If it wasn't as powerful as the rumors said, Zhang Chengyun would be in trouble. In the place of death, "Yaksha Po" was offended, and it was impossible to escape the disaster of annihilation. However, Shen Yuanqiong could also understand his determination to take risks and change places. He thought that he would rather jump into the sea to escape than endure such torture. Zhang Chengyun has endured it until today. The depth of his intentions and his cruelty to himself made him shudder.
As soon as the thought arose, Shen Yuanqiong subconsciously remembered all the abnormalities in him. When he was wandering at sea, Zhang Chengyun kept silent and stared at him. Looking back now, he probably wanted to drink his own blood and eat his own flesh, but he was so hungry and thirsty at the time that he didn't realize it at all. Danger.
If only one of the two survives, it must be Zhang Chengyun. Fortunately, the most cruel scene did not happen. The school of fish in the moonlight saved him once, and the desert island where Yaksha was exiled saved him a second time. There seemed to be a will in the dark that was caring for Shen Yuanqiong, which surprised him. He passed through one level after another without any danger, and except for some hardships, he was unscathed.
Just as his heart was rising and falling, Shen Yuanqiong suddenly saw a figure appearing at the entrance of the cave. He held up a torch in his hand, waved it towards himself again and again, wrote the word "成", and then retreated into the cave. Shen Yuanqiong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and tiptoed out of the hiding place, making a long circle to the cave where "Yaksha Po" lived. He looked outside the cave for a few times and coughed slightly, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Zhang Chengyun seemed to be held back by some conspiracy and had not shown up yet. Shen Yuanqiong was in a dilemma, his heart beating wildly and almost jumping out of his throat. He mustered up the courage to move towards the entrance of the cave step by step. The smell of blood was getting stronger and more pungent. The fire was beating, and he heard Zhang Chengyun's breathing.
Shen Yuanqiong felt a little relieved. He swallowed and carefully poked his head in. He saw Zhang Chengyun, naked and sweating profusely, using a stone ax and knife to cut up the body of "Yakshapo". Her head was smashed into a shapeless shape, and blood flowed all over the floor. Her arms were mutilated, exposing the white bones. The cut meat was strung on the branches one by one and roasted next to the fire to become dried meat.
When Zhang Chengyun saw that he finally appeared, the corner of his mouth twitched, with a trace of contempt on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "We will start building the raft at dawn. We need to save some of these dried meats and fresh water. Find a way to bring more. From here. Let's drift north along the ocean current. If we're lucky, we can reach the Rakshasa Kingdom in ten days. Rakshasa and Yaksha are sworn enemies, so let's take some 'Epimedium' to convince them to attack the Yaksha Kingdom and eradicate it once and for all!"
Shen Yuanqiong was a little frightened. Zhang Chengyun became very strange to him, even creepy. Without saying a word, he took off the roasted dried meat and handed the skewered meat branch to Zhang Chengyun. Zhang Chengyun was very satisfied with his performance. There were some things that he couldn't do alone. He needed such a weak and knowledgeable follower who could also serve as emergency rations when necessary.
"Yakshapo" was tortured by Lingchi and cut into pieces with thousands of knives. Her flesh was cut with blunt knives, and she was cut into a bloody skeleton. Zhang Chengyun hated her so much that he disemboweled her, dug out her internal organs, roasted them half-cooked, and shared them with Shen Yuanqiong. Shen Yuanqiong felt conflicted and declined politely. Zhang Chengyun sneered and chewed his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys like a wild beast, with sticky blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Only by eating its flesh, gnawing its blood, knocking its bones, sucking its marrow, sleeping on its skin and pulling out its hair can you relieve the hatred in your heart. These were originally vicious words, but in the hands of Zhang Chengyun, they turned into a bloody act. Shen Yuan Qiong felt more and more that this man had become a beast and he should not get along with him. Otherwise, he would bite his navel and regret it too late. But now he is trapped on an isolated island and has no other choice. He can only take one step at a time and never fall out with him.
Zhang Chengyun had already prepared. He pierced the dried meat with tree bark and made it into a plate. He put it in a cool place for storage. There were still an hour or two before dawn. He stirred the fire, called to Shen Yuanqiong, and picked something. He fell asleep in a dry corner. The bones of "Yakshapo" were close at hand, and blood was flowing all over the ground. Shen Yuanqiong was restless. He resisted the pungent smell of blood and listened to Zhang Chengyun's snoring. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all.
At last he walked out of the cave, leaned against the dew-wet rocks, and dozed off reluctantly.
The east turned white, and a red sun rose slowly. Zhang Chengyun kicked Shen Yuanqiong awake. The two walked a long way to the woods near the sea, split the trunk with a stone ax, cut off the side branches, and dragged them to the On the beach. Shen Yuanqiong was weak and Zhang Chengyun thought he was getting in the way, so he gave him a stone knife and ordered him to peel off tree bark and twist it into ropes to help him with some chores.
Shen Yuanqiong looked on with cold eyes. Although Zhang Chengyun was thin, his strength was extraordinary. The stone ax of "Yakshapo" was extremely heavy. He held it in his hand like a piece of dry wood. A tree as thick as a bowl could be chopped down with just a dozen axes. Sawdust was flying like rain. He remembered the dried meat Zhang Chengyun gave him and couldn't help but swallow. He wondered what kind of beast meat it was, so nourishing.
Zhang Chengyun was worried that the Yasha on the island would notice something strange, so he spared no effort to cut down the trees and build a simple raft with bark ropes. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Shen Yuanqiong couldn't help much, so he plunged into the depths of the mountains and forests to find water sources and collect "Epimedium" by the way. He knew that time was tight, and it felt like a whip was hitting his back all the time, so he did not dare to neglect.
Suddenly two or three days passed, and the raft began to take shape. Shen Yuanqiong also found two "Epimedium" plants, but Danshui still had no whereabouts. When "Yaksha Po" goes out to hunt, he always brings back some fresh water in a bamboo tube. The bumpy journey has a strange smell, which is enough to quench his thirst every day. Zhang Chengyun didn't know where the water source was. It was reasonable for Shen Yuanqiong to search for a needle in the haystack, but he couldn't find it. He couldn't afford to waste time, so he could only do the next best thing and collect roots and fruits as much as possible to prepare for emergencies.
On this day, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the sea water rolled towards the north. At this time, Zhang Chengyun made a decisive decision, dragged the raft into the water, and sailed across the sea with Shen Yuanqiong. The waves were rolling, pushing the raft away from the coast, farther and farther away. Zhang Chengyun raised his eyes and looked out, his face suddenly changed, and he saw a "Yaksha Gong" who seemed to be aware of it, chased him over the mountains and ridges, and stood on the rocks gesticulating. Hated endlessly. The thin line between life and death, if he hesitates even a moment and delays for half a day, there is a high probability that he will fall into the opponent's hands and it will be difficult to escape!
It wasn't until the deserted island turned into a small dot that Zhang Chengyun sat down again and let out a long sigh. The Rakshasa Kingdom hangs alone in the sea. If it misses it, it will be thousands of miles away. What should we do if we can't hit it in time? His eyes fell on Shen Yuanqiong, and he secretly wished him a blessed person, and only with his blessing could he escape.
