Chapter 16

Lei Xingfeng said, "Grandpa Hu, it's fine, but unfortunately, we can't continue hunting this time."

Hu Cangyan nodded and said, "It's good that you're fine. Sigh, it's going to be tough from now on... Let's go back." He stood up and said, "Dashan, you carry Apeak back." He could see that Lei Xingfeng was extremely exhausted, and his eyes were already drifting as he spoke.

Ko Dashan nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me." He squatted down, and Ko Shi helped Lei Xingfeng climb onto his back.

Only then did Hu Cangyan instruct everyone to gather the bodies and tend to the wounded. In a short time, the group gathered and started walking back. This hunting trip was a complete failure, with heavy casualties. At least fourteen or fifteen hunters were dead, and even more were injured. For a settlement like Tiger Cliff Fort, this was a significant blow, though not a fatal one.

For Tiger Cliff Fort, even if they won such a battle, it was not worth celebrating. Their hatred for Eagle Territory deepened, and they became even more wary of it. The strength of the enemy was too formidable. If any of the hunting team had encountered any one of them, the consequences would have been severe, and they probably wouldn't have been able to escape. If it weren't for Lei Xingfeng, who had blocked their most powerful expert, they knew no one would have survived to return to Tiger Cliff Fort.

Lei Xingfeng, lying on Ko Dashan's back, almost immediately fell asleep.

The group walked back to Tiger Cliff Fort in silence.

...

Ying Dafei dragged the man and fled desperately, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

The man suddenly broke free from Ying Dafei's hand and slowly sat down. He pulled out a small glass bottle from the inner layer of his leather armor, containing a light green liquid. He pointed to the bottle and then to the wound on his cheek, staring at Ying Dafei.

Ying Dafei took the bottle, surprised that it was a healing potion made by a Green Wheel expert. This was rare and expensive; one bottle of such a potion was worth at least a dozen wheel rings, equivalent to thousands of gold rings in the secular world. A wild bull could only be exchanged for a dozen gold rings, and such a potion was something ordinary people couldn't afford.

Using wheel power, he carefully applied the potion to the wound. In a short while, the wound began to scab. When the wound scabbed over, Ying Dafei noticed a serious problem. Since the wound went through both cheeks, it left two holes. In the future, whatever he ate would probably come out, and his uncle's tongue was also half cut off, making it difficult for him to speak.

The man grumbled for a while, realizing he couldn't express himself clearly, and became so angry that he started jumping on the ground. Ying Dafei hurriedly comforted him, "Uncle, it's fine, it's fine, you'll get used to it!"

Slap!

Ying Dafei covered his face,委屈道: "Uncle, why did you hit me?"

Slap! Slap!

Two big slaps made Ying Dafei's eyes see stars. He was completely confused, unable to understand why his uncle was hitting him. He didn't dare to argue or speak, just staring dumbly at the man.

The man, in a fit of rage, couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he took it out on Ying Dafei, slapping him three times. His mood improved immediately.

He mumbled a bunch of words, but Ying Dafei couldn't understand a single one. He looked at the man dumbly, still not daring to speak.

The man got angry again, his eyes blazing with fury, almost burning Ying Dafei. Scared, Ying Dafei kept backing away. He couldn't remain silent any longer and said, "Uncle, Uncle... calm down, calm down... don't, don't hit me!"

The man raised his hand, almost hitting him again, but under Ying Dafei's pleading, he regained a bit of his composure. He put down his hand and mumbled a few more words.

Ying Dafei was almost in tears, finding this too tormenting. Who could understand what this guy was saying? Even bird chirping was clearer than his words.

The man, at a loss, walked to a giant tree and wrote on the trunk: "I, Ying Xiao, will not rest until I destroy Tiger Cliff Fort!"

Ying Dafei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I won't rest until I destroy Tiger Cliff Fort, but... but that kid... is really tough."

Ying Xiao sneered a few times, but with his mouth leaking, the sound was unbearable, making Ying Dafei shiver. This sound was too eerie. Ying Xiao continued to write: "I will find an old friend to help, a Secret Wheel Master!"

Ying Dafei was overjoyed and said, "A Secret Wheel Master! Uncle, you actually know a Secret Wheel Master?"

Slap!

Ying Xiao fiercely slapped the back of his head, making his head spin. He continued to write: "Idiot, if I didn't know him, how could I ask for his help?"

Ying Dafei wasn't angry; he said happily, "Yes, yes, I'm an idiot, an idiot!"

Slap!

Ying Xiao continued to write: "If you're an idiot, what am I?"

Ying Dafei was almost in tears. This was too much bullying. It was you who called me an idiot first, and whether I admit it or not, you still hit me. Uncle was being too extreme. At this moment, he realized that his uncle was not normal, and he suddenly felt afraid.

Ying Xiao wrote: "Come, follow me!" His voice was indistinct, and with the two holes in his cheeks, his face looked even more terrifying.

Ying Dafei shuddered and said, "Okay, let's go!"

...

When Lei Xingfeng woke up, it was already two days later.

Opening his eyes, he saw a pair of big eyes and mumbled, "Where am I?" Then he heard a scream, which instantly woke him up.

Lei Xingyao screamed, "Wow, brother is awake, Grandpa, brother is awake!"

Lei Xingfeng reached out to touch Lei Xingyao's little head and said, "Little sister, go to sleep for a while, your eyes are red." He knew without thinking that his little sister had been watching over him.

Lei Xingyao said, "Brother, I'm not sleepy. I'll heat some soup for you, are you hungry?"

His stomach immediately growled, and he felt not just hungry but weak from hunger. He said, "Yes, I'm really hungry." He hadn't eaten for two days, and he was in the stage of rapid growth, the time when he needed the most food.

Lei Bao walked in and said, "Apeak." His eyes showed a hint of worry.

Lei Xingfeng said, "Grandpa, it's fine, I've turned a disaster into a blessing."

Lei Bao asked, "What do you mean?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "I almost reached the Thousand Wheel Master level."

Lei Bao was shocked and said, "What?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "When I fought that person, I was struck by lightning twice and somehow gained a lot of lightning wheel power."

Lei Bao found it hard to believe and said, "This, this is impossible!" He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. While it was true that practicing lightning wheel power during thunderstorms was the best, it was definitely not meant to be struck by lightning, especially for someone like Lei Xingfeng who had just started practicing. Being struck by lightning could be fatal, but the kid not only survived but also saw a dramatic increase in strength, which was hard to understand.

Lei Xingfeng said, "Ah? Can't be struck by lightning? But... but how did I...?" He didn't know what to say. His understanding of wheel power was far inferior to his grandfather's, and there was no comparison.

Lei Bao fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Lei Xingyao came in with a small wooden basin and said, "Brother, the soup is here."

It was a basin of wild bull meat soup, thickened with a lot of cassava flour, making it as thick as porridge. Lei Xingyao held a wooden spoon and said, "Brother, I'll feed you!" When she was sick, the thing she enjoyed most was being fed by Lei Xingfeng. Now that he was lying down, she wanted to feed him too.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let our Yaoyao feed me. I'll be a lazy person this time." He habitually rubbed the little girl's head. He loved his little sister to the core, and he often treated her like a daughter. In his previous life, he had a daughter, and in this life, he had a little sister, whom he loved just as much.

Spoon by spoon, the little girl fed Lei Xingfeng. Her expression was unusually serious. After finishing the thick soup, she showed a satisfied look and said, "Brother, wait a moment... I'll bring more meat to feed you, be good!"

Lei Xingfeng almost sprayed the last mouthful of soup. This was what he used to say when feeding his little sister, and he didn't expect the little girl to naturally return it.

Slap!

Lei Bao suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Right, this explains it! Ha ha ha!"

Lei Xingyao put down the small basin, reached out to hug Lei Bao's arm, and shook it, saying, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Lei Bao laughed and said, "Ha ha, Grandpa figured something out, Yaoyao, Grandpa is fine, be good, Yaoyao."

Lei Xingyao was relieved and got up to leave the room with the small basin.

Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, "Grandpa, what did you figure out? Is it about being struck by lightning? By the way, Grandpa, have you ever been struck by lightning?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I've never been struck by lightning... struck by lightning..." He suddenly looked dazed, staring at Lei Xingfeng for a while before shouting, "Apeak!"

Lei Xingfeng was startled and said, "Grandpa, what's wrong again?"

The old man's face suddenly showed uncontrollable joy. He said incoherently, "It's worth a try! It's worth a try, ha ha! I never thought of it!"

Lei Xingfeng was dumbfounded. At this moment, the old man seemed to have regained his youth, his energy and spirit were completely different. Previously, the old man had a sense of decline, like the setting sun, but now his energy could be compared to that of a young person.

"Grandpa, what's worth a try?"

The old man said mysteriously, "Apeak, I can't say now, ha ha, I'll tell you after I try it, ha ha... ha ha ha!"

Lei Xingfeng was chilled by the old man's laughter and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

The old man stopped laughing and said, "Apeak, what?"
