Shanwu nodded. What Zhang Yifeng said was an imperial edict to them.
Zhang Yifeng looked at the Fountain of Goodness again and said calmly: "You go to the tent to rest first."
Shan Zhiquan quickly shook his head: "City Lord, this is not good."
"Go in as soon as I tell you to, and have a good rest. If that thing doesn't come out on its own initiative, we may have to stay here for a few more days. We must maintain our strength."
At Zhang Yifeng's insistence, Shan Zhiquan finally walked into the tent.
As soon as we entered the tent, the uncomfortable feeling actually became lighter.
At this time, Zhang Yifeng and Meng Nichang also entered the tent. Zhang Yifeng did not sleep, but closed his eyes and listened carefully to the disturbance outside. He was worried that something would happen tonight.
Soon, two hours passed.
The night was still so peaceful, and nothing weird happened.
Only then did Zhang Yifeng slowly relax his mind. Darkness inherently brings a sense of fear to people. Perhaps, there was not something spying on them secretly.
Unknowingly, Zhang Yifeng fell into sleep.
The sleep was very heavy until dawn. When he opened his eyes, Zhang Yifeng found that Meng Nishang beside him was missing. In shock, he hurried out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Meng Nichang was taking care of the fire, while the spring of goodness was lying on the ground beside it.
"Scare yourself."
Zhang Yifeng smiled self-deprecatingly. But then he frowned. Why did he sleep so deeply last night? This is a very strange thing.
"Okay, let's have something to eat and let's continue searching."
Shaking his head, Zhang Yifeng spoke to the three of them.
Time passed, and another day passed. The four people searched a five-mile radius, but still found nothing.
In a blink of an eye, it was getting dark again.
"City Lord, do we still want to spend the night here tonight?"
"Of course, without investigating the whole story, how could we just go back like this."
At night, Shanwu Shanzhiquan still takes turns to keep vigil. The two of them are our own soldiers and can be regarded as cultivators. They only sleep four or five hours a day, which is totally fine.
The next night, everything was still fine. It was just that Shanwu and Shanzhiquan's faces were a little ugly and looked a little pale.
"Shan Zhiquan, Shanwu, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhang Yifeng asked.
"No." They both shook their heads at the same time.
Zhang Yifeng didn't think much and pointed forward: "Search in this direction today."
Another day passed, and everyone still found nothing. The only thing wrong was that there were still no animals in the places they searched.
This is very unnatural. There is not a single animal in a huge mountain for miles around. It is absolutely abnormal.
Generally speaking, the perception of animals is more sensitive than that of humans. Once they sense danger, they will take the initiative to avoid it. All the animals in this mountain have disappeared, obviously they sensed danger.
But what makes Zhang Yifeng feel puzzled is that if there are really scary existences in the forest, why didn't he take action against them?
At night, neither Shan Zhiquan nor Shan Wu entered the tent.
On the morning of the third day, everything was still fine. The only change was that Shan Zhiquan and Shan Wu looked even worse.
Their steps were a little floaty when they walked.
Zhang Yifeng stopped the two of them again and asked them carefully whether they felt uncomfortable. They both shook their heads and said they were just a little tired.
"Okay, let's search for another day. If we still don't find anything, let's go back."
Zhang Yifeng really didn't expect that things would become so weird and complicated. He originally thought that it was a powerful beast or a powerful warrior playing tricks here. Now it seems that things are weirder than imagined.
"Okay City Lord."
On this day, the four of them went on the road again and found nothing again.
At night, the fire was lit again, and the faces of Shanwu and Shanzhiquan looked even paler under the beating flames, as if the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry.
Zhang Yifeng frowned and said, "You go and rest tonight, I will keep watch personally."
"It's okay, City Lord, we can survive."
How could the two of them let Zhang Yifeng keep vigil overnight and insist that Zhang Yifeng return to the tent?
Seeing that Zhang Yifeng insisted on being re-elected, he had no choice but to return to his tent.
However, this night, Zhang Yifeng kept restraining himself from falling asleep. He always felt something was wrong. As a cultivator in the Bigu stage, why did he feel sleepy? He was not very tired these past few days.
That night, he cheered up and kept paying attention to what was going on around him.
However, one night passed and still no abnormality was found.
On the morning of the fourth day, Meng Nishang's voice came from outside.
"Zhang Yifeng, come out and take a look. Brother Shanwu, are you okay?"
At this time, Shanwu's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his eye sockets were sunken, as if he had taken too many drugs. He was sitting next to the extinguished fire, motionless! As if he was dead.
After a long time, Shanwu's voice came: "I'm fine." He said and smiled reluctantly.
Zhang Yifeng walked out of the tent. His energy was also a little sluggish. Seeing this scene, he frowned and said: "Clean up. The search is over. Let's go back. If you keep going, you won't be able to bear it."
"OK."
Shanwu nodded numbly and slowly stood up from the ground, but as soon as he stood up, he fell to the ground.
"Good at martial arts."
Zhang Yifeng and others were shocked, and quickly went over to support him. After checking his breathing, they breathed a sigh of relief. Shanwu was still breathing, but he just passed out.
Carrying Shanwu on his shoulders, Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly.
"Let's send them back first."
For some reason, Zhang Yifeng always felt that something was wrong.
However, just as they lifted their feet, there was a thud, and the spring of goodness beside them also fell to the ground.
"The Fountain of Goodness."
This sudden change surprised everyone.
Zhang Yifeng put down Shanwu and checked Shanzhiquan's breath, and found that Shanzhiquan's breath was very weak, but he was not dead.
He and Meng Nishang looked at each other, with confusion and horror in their eyes.
Both Shanwu and Shanzhiquan are physically strong warriors. Even if they live in the wild for a long time and sleep on the ground of Yintide, they will not be so weak. Even if the two of them will become weaker, they will definitely not become weak in just five days.
The two strong warriors were exhausted.
The situation between the two of them is very strange.
Could this be related to the disappearance?
But why is there nothing strange between Meng Nishang and him?
Zhang Yifeng was confused. Is it because they have strong cultivation?
Shaking his head, Zhang Yifeng carefully observed Shan Zhiquan's body. His brows suddenly wrinkled: "Nishang, come here."
Meng Nichang came to Zhang Yifeng's side with some confusion.
"Hold his hand." Zhang Yifeng handed the Fountain of Goodness to Meng Nichang, "Do you feel anything?"
"So light! His body is so light." Meng Nishang said in surprise.
