Chapter 68 Recovering from Injuries.
In a cave 60 miles from Hope City.
Lu Hao was currently hiding here to heal his injuries and wait for Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang. He didn't know the situation of Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, but since he had lured that fifth-rank enemy away, they should be fine.
I never imagined that my first time going down into the underground cave would involve digging tunnels, escaping, digging tunnels again, and hiding.
A thought
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 71/722 calories]
[Mental Strength: 49/339 Hz]
Storage space: 1000 cubic meters
Kill Points: 5002
This harvest is truly enormous; he gained 5000 kill points in one go, which is basically enough to support Lu Hao's consumption throughout the entire third-grade stage.
Once the potential dangers were removed, the underground cave turned out to be a huge treasure trove.
Lu Hao didn't use kill points to directly restore his health. After all, there were no enemies at the moment. Although using kill points could quickly restore health, the health restored wasn't something he generated himself.
There will be some unfamiliarity, which will significantly reduce the control of Qi and blood.
He took the backpack out of his storage space; inside were a mid-grade fourth-rank energy heart and a high-grade fourth-rank one. These two alone were worth 600 credits, equivalent to 1800 million.
……
Snap, snap,
A sound of footsteps approached.
Lu Hao quickly and barely managed to stand up, preparing to see who was coming from outside. Lu Hao's current situation was not to be underestimated; even if it was a peak third-grade cultivator, he might not be able to kill them in his current state.
Seeing that it was Qin Fengqing carrying Wang Jinyang, Lu Hao finally relaxed a lot.
"Over here, over here"
When Qin Fengqing saw Lu Hao, she went over and put Wang Jinyang down.
"What's the situation there?" Lu Hao asked.
"Old Wang unleashed his power and killed a peak fourth-rank cultivator, then the mid-fourth-rank cultivator escaped. When we were about to loot the spoils..."
Fifth Rank is back. He had no choice but to come back to the assembly first. What's the situation on your end?
Qin Fengqing said, panting.
"I was targeted by that fifth-rank official and almost died. Luckily, I had dug a lot of tunnels beforehand, so I hid in one and shook him off. My left shoulder was pierced by a bullet, and I'll need to rest for two or three days."
Lu Hao stood up, went to Wang Jinyang, checked him over, and found that he had fainted due to excessive mental exertion, as well as some non-fatal external injuries.
Lu Hao took out a healing pill and fed it to Wang Jinyang, and also threw one to Qin Fengqing.
He was only a high-level third-rank fighter, but he fought for quite a while against that mid-level fourth-rank fighter, and he also suffered a lot of injuries.
"What do we do next?" Qin Fengqing asked, taking the pill and swallowing it.
"Wait, wait until Old Wang and I recover. In two or three days, we'll go again. We'll have already killed two fourth-rank officials."
"When the time comes, Lao Wang and I will lure away the fifth-rank and the remaining fourth-rank, and you can go and rob that village. Otherwise, you'll come down here and get nothing," Lu Hao said.
"Okay, no problem. I'll definitely ransack the whole village, but I'll leave that bastard some resources," Qin Fengqing said.
"You stay here and guard Lao Wang. I'll go keep an eye on that village so that we don't end up fighting for so long only to have the enemy move."
"Okay, be careful," Lu Hao said.
……
"Water, water, water"
"Lu Hao, Old Wang has woken up. Give him some water."
Lu Hao took the water out of his backpack and poured it into Wang Jinyang's mouth.
Wang Jinyang then opened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him.
"Where are we now?"
"After you killed a peak fourth-grade cultivator in the underground cave, you fainted due to excessive mental energy consumption," Lu Hao said.
Wang Jinyang shook his head, then remembered, "Where's the fifth-rank martial artist on the other side? How much time has passed?"
"We've gone back. It's been about a day since that battle," Qin Fengqing said.
"Qin Fengqing, you're such a liar! You said you weren't even a fifth-rank cultivator. If Lu Hao hadn't lured us away, the three of us would probably have been doomed. How could I have fallen for your trick this time?"
Upon seeing Qin Fengqing, Wang Jinyang, recalling the perilous events of the previous day, couldn't help but erupt in a tirade of curses.
"Stop...stop cursing, I...I really saw an energy mine...about the size of a fist! They left behind a lot more."
"Damn, if we get it, we're rich!"
Qin Fengqing said weakly.
"Once you recover, the two of you, along with Lu Hao, can hold off that fifth-rank cultivator. Then I'll take down his stronghold from behind. At that point, we won't lack resources to cultivate to the fifth rank."
"Don't blame him too much. After all, who can have 100% control over the situation in the underground cave? It's normal to have risks. This situation was within our expectations," Lu Hao said.
"Hmph, I need about a day to recover. When I get back, I'll deal with that fifth-rank official. Don't be so cunning next time," Wang Jinyang said.
He also knew that this wasn't Qin Fengqing's fault, since the underground world was inherently complex and unpredictable. No one could have a complete grasp of the underground world's situation.
"Lu Hao, how is your injury?" Wang Jinyang asked, noticing that Lu Hao's left arm was wrapped in gauze.
"It will recover in two more days, no big problem. I'll quickly kill the remaining mid-level fourth-rank, then lure the fifth-rank away and see if there's a chance to kill it," Lu Hao said.
……
Two days later.
Lu Hao has been taking healing pills to recover these past two days, so he hasn't had time to temper his spine and hasn't made much progress.
"How's the recovery going?"
As Wang Jinyang walked in, he asked, "These past two days, I and Qin Fengqing have been observing that village to prevent them from escaping. But they've been lucky."
The fifth-rank enemy on the other side probably thought they wouldn't dare to go any further, so they didn't arrange any evacuation, which gave Lu Hao and his two companions a considerable opportunity.
"Alright, everything's fine now, we can fight normally."
Lu Hao got up, stretched his body, and then said.
"Lu Hao, are you alright?" Qin Fengqing asked as she walked in from behind.
"It's alright, let's go, let's take out that village now."
"Alright, I've been keeping an eye on this village for the past few days, and I saw that fist-sized cultivation energy stone again. I've been drooling over it. This time, I'll just snatch it and let me try out the cultivation effects of the energy stone."
Qin Fengqing said happily, already imagining what the fist-sized cultivation energy stone would look like in his arms.
"By the way, I discovered a nest of demonic beasts about one kilometer east of the village. These beasts aren't very strong, the strongest being only at the third rank. They're probably being kept by this village."
"We can lure this nest of monsters to the village, then draw out the mid-level fourth-rank monster first, kill him, and then deal with the remaining fifth-rank monster."
Qin Fengqing said.
"That works too. At least we have a better chance of success now. So it's decided then. You'll be in charge of luring the monster over there," Wang Jinyang said.
Qin Fengqing nodded, and the three of them set off again.
