The night was finally safe. Nothing serious happened until dawn. Even if there were one or two evil spirits, they were blocked by the formation carved with the Nascent Soul's blood.

Seeing Master Tingyu's haggard face, Tian Lin said, "I won't let you bleed for the time being, so you don't have to pretend like this."

"I won't bleed you for now. So you're still planning on bleeding me?"

Master Tingyu sat up straight and said:

"It's not that I can't bear to bleed, it's just that I've already lost my cultivation, and I haven't had a meal in many days. Now my Qi and blood are both depleted, and bleeding again might cost me my life!"

Tian Lin didn't believe his lies! After all, although the rejuvenation technique couldn't bring Master Tingyu back to full health, it was enough to make up for the little blood he lost.

"But without your blood, how can we stop the evil spirits? You know, neither you nor I have any cultivation. Compared to losing a little blood, life is of course more important."

Master Tingyu snorted coldly: "It's not your flesh that is cut, and it's not your blood that is shed, so of course you think it's nothing."

"Be quiet, someone is coming."

Tian Lin took a step back, grabbed Master Tingyu's collar and protected him behind him.

This move of his was very elaborate, seemingly he was protecting Master Tingyu. In fact, if the situation was really wrong, he could just throw Master Tingyu out to ward off disaster.

At this moment, a rustling sound was heard in the rainforest, and soon the figure of the second in command appeared in the forest.

Tian Lin and Master Tingyu did not dare to be careless. They were not rookies in cultivation and knew that seeing was not necessarily believing. It was still unknown whether the second in command in front of them was the second in command himself or an evil spirit in disguise.

Originally, Tian Lin had a true eye, but in this world, he was not sure whether his true eye was useful, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Finally, the second in command, who didn't notice the two of them, passed by their tree.

The next to show up were the third and fourth in command. They were hiding in the dark, following closely behind the second in command.

The two men seemed to be following the second in command, but in fact they were working in secret against each other. The former attracted people's attention, while the latter hid in the dark to protect him.

"who?"

When the third in command passed by Tian Lin and Master Tingyu, he finally noticed the presence of Master Tingyu.

Now that the old fellow has lost his cultivation, he can no longer restrain his aura.

Seeing that the Third Master was about to take action, Tian Lin quickly said, "It's us two, don't panic, Third Master!"

It was still a little late for Tian Lin to speak, as the dagger of the third in command had already stabbed Tian Lin in the chest.

Even though Tian Lin's reaction was extremely fast, he had no cultivation and was still a little slower than the third in command who was at the third level of Qi Refining.

The third in command's dagger passed through Tian Lin's hands and stabbed directly into Tian Lin's chest.

"Third brother, these are our own people, don't hurt them!"

The second in command also turned his head and spoke to stop them in time.

"Who knows if they are evil spirits in disguise?"

Although the third in command's words were full of doubt, he still pulled the dagger back in the end.

While wiping the bloody dagger with a handkerchief, he looked at Tian Lin coldly and asked, "What are you two planning to do hiding here?"

Tian Lin covered his chest and explained, "We lost track of the leaders after we ran out of the village, and we were afraid of being attacked by evil spirits, so we hid here."

The Third Master asked Tian Lin again, "Why didn't you come out to recognize the Second Master when he showed up? Did he intend to plot against us?"

Tian Lin explained: "It's just because we are mortals and can't be sure whether the second in command is a human or a ghost, so we dare not show up rashly."

The third in command said nothing, but the fourth in command shook his head slightly.

You have to know that the forest is very dangerous. If two people travel alone, the probability of not encountering evil spirits at night is almost zero.

Although the third and fourth in command had low cultivation levels, they could not recognize any formations.

But they suspected that Tian Lin and Master Tingyu had hidden treasures. Otherwise, how could they survive a night in this dense forest?

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the second in command stood up and said, "Okay, we are all brothers. If there is anything, we can talk about it after we go back and see the official."

The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly. The Third Master no longer pursued the secrets of Tian Lin and Master Ting Yu. He only asked the two of them, "You two escaped, but where are the others?"

Tian Lin said: "When we were running for our lives, there were several zombies chasing us. No one can say for sure whether the rest of us survived the zombies."

The second in command said, "I will go to the village with the fourth brother, and you can take them here to rest."

After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bag, took out a bottle, and carefully poured some powder on the paper.

"This is a hemostatic powder. It was naturally worthless before the catastrophe. But now it is a disaster year, and such medicine powder is not easy to find. You should use it sparingly."

Tian Lin did not refuse the Second Master's kindness, and took the small packet of paper and thanked him. After the Second Master and the Fourth Master left, Tian Lin did not apply the small packet of paper on his wound, but gave it to the Third Master instead:

"Thank you for your mercy, Third Boss. This packet of medicine powder is a gift from me to you."

The third in command raised his eyebrows and looked at Tian Lin with a hint of surprise.

He didn't hesitate and took the medicine from Tian Lin's hand: "I don't want your things for nothing. Here is a bag of food in exchange for the medicine."

As expected, he took out a small bag of barley from his lapel, but the cloth used to wrap the barley was stained with blood, and it was unknown which corpse it was taken from.

But even if the corn is stained with blood, its value will not be diminished in this disaster year.

Tian Lin took the corn and glanced at Master Tingyu who was beside him. As Master Tingyu looked anxious, Tian Lin threw the corn to Master Tingyu.

Master Tingyu had a smile on his face. He opened the cloth bag and stuffed the corn into his mouth, then began to devour it.

The third boss on the side looked at Tian Lin in surprise and couldn't help but said with a smile: "You two were fighting to the death a few days ago, but now you are like brothers."

Master Tingyu didn't say anything, but just glanced at Tian Lin.

He knew that Tian Lin still had some food hidden in his arms, but that didn't mean Tian Lin didn't need food.

He was really surprised that Tian Lin was so generous in sharing his food with him.

"There's nothing I can do! Food is important in this world, but if you don't have a companion who can trust you through thick and thin, no matter how much food you have, it won't be enough."

Tian Lin, who was not hungry at all and boasted that he didn't want any money, instantly made the third in command look at him with higher regard.

"There are very few people in this world who value their brothers more than food. Don't worry, as long as you don't let us down, we won't let you down either."

If it was the order from the second in command that prevented the third in command from taking action against Tian Lin and Master Tingyu.

So at this moment, even without the order from the Second In Command, the Third In Command had no intention of attacking Tian Lin.
