Chapter 1318: Chapter 1314: A Bold Move!
Daichong also wondered, "Ye Tian, listening to what you said, it indeed seems very strange! Why would this guy deliberately create such a trap, what is his purpose?"
Tian Qi also looked at Ye Tian and said, "I also find it unusually weird. The person who trapped us here, his method is too abnormal!"
However, Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Qiqi, Daichong, you are both wrong. This person’s purpose is not without reason. The only purpose of constructing such a trap is to trap us!"
"Trap us?" Tian Qi tilted his head, confused, "If his true intention was to trap us, then his purpose must be to stop us from meddling in the matters of the southern city. But, with time passing so slowly in this pit, how can that possibly prevent us? Trapping us here, is it for us to do something?"
Ye Tian chuckled and said, "Qiqi, how are you getting confused? We are not here with nothing to do. In fact, there is something important for us to do, which is ’healing’!"
Ye Tian’s words immediately enlightened Daichong and Tian Qi!
"Exactly! Now with our injuries and fatigue, without taking the time to recover, there is no way to return to the southern city and fight Elder Dong Feng again!"
"In this pit, we can fully recover from our injuries and, once we have fully healed, we can return to the southern city, and the situation can still be changed by us!"
Excitement appeared on the faces of Daichong and Tian Qi, but this expression lasted only a few seconds before they again appeared somewhat worried.
Tian Qi straightforwardly said, "But Ye Tian, although your deduction makes sense, this pit is so strange, and we cannot get out for now. So what will we do after we recover and regain our strength?"
Daichong also said, "Yes! Although we martial artists can go for a long time without eating or drinking as long as we have strength, there is no food or water in this pit. We can’t just keep consuming like this, right? So-called ’closed-door training,’ or whatever, requires eating!"
Ye Tian glanced around and said, "Indeed, as you both said, there is no water or food in this pit for cultivation. After our injuries and strength have recovered, there is temporarily no way to leave here, but since you heard Old Man Guo’s voice when being taken away, this matter is inevitably related to him.
So, let’s just trust him for now. After all, he is my master, and there’s no way he’d try to harm us! For now, let’s focus on nothing else but carefully healing our injuries and regaining our strength. Once we’ve recovered to a certain extent, maybe this pit will change somehow."
Tian Qi and Daichong exchanged a glance, and Ye Tian’s statement could be described as "groundless."
However, owing to their absolute trust in Ye Tian and the name "Old Man Guo," Tian Qi and Daichong had a reason to follow Ye Tian’s advice...
Though Daichong had no particular impression, Tian Qi knew all too well that without Old Man Guo, he might have long been killed by that woman Dong Mei. Old Man Guo brought him to his unique different space, healed his severe injuries, and made his strength skyrocket.
So, if this pit is indeed the work of Old Man Guo, then it is naturally beneficial for everyone!
As for the matter of Old Man Guo acknowledging Ye Tian as his disciple, Tian Qi was aware of some details...
With a matchless strongman like Ye Tian, the "master" he recognized must have considerable abilities.
Daichong also sighed non-stop, "Ye Tian, if that Old Man Guo is really your master, he must be a person of high moral character and strength, so he wouldn’t have any malicious intent towards us."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Talking more is pointless, let’s hurry up and recover our injuries! For us now, although time passes slowly in this pit, it shouldn’t just be wasted!"
"Yes!" "Yes!"
Tian Qi and Daichong replied in unison, then both began to sit cross-legged and meditate.
Since the two had already adjusted their breathing to recover some internal injuries after falling into this pit, they naturally didn’t prepare much more and gradually entered a state of meditation.
Ye Tian watched Tian Qi and Daichong with rosy complexions, clearly in a state where their internal injuries were steadily recovering, and their internal power was slowly converging, so there was hardly any need to worry about them.
In comparison, the injuries on Ye Tian himself were quite severe!
Elder Nan Feng and Elder Xi Feng, both elders of the Black Hole Clan, had strength that was indescribable.
For Ye Tian to defeat these two elders was already a feat of incredible luck, so it’s impossible that he was unscathed...
Fortunately, Ye Tian was highly skilled in medical techniques, so no matter how severe the injury, he could rely on his own ability to slowly heal.
Ye Tian took out the silver needles he carried with him, then removed his clothes and pierced the silver needles into his acupoints all over his body, after which he began to channel Silent Qi of the Nether God and guide the Qi back to its origin.
Although Ye Tian did not use any ointments, martial artists, being one with nature, can absorb resources from their surroundings to heal their injuries.
On Ye Tian’s body, those damaged tissues began to regrow rapidly, far faster than the average person’s regenerative speed!
Unknowingly, the wounds on Ye Tian’s body had ceased bleeding and only scabs remained...
By rights, Ye Tian could now remove the silver needles embedded in his body, but he refrained from doing so. The needles, when placed at strategic points, ensured the inner blood flowed unimpeded, clearing clotted blood and breaking through blocked acupoints efficiently.
Once the external injuries were healing, Ye Tian immediately circulated his inner blood to heal internal injuries.
Ye Tian was adept at healing, and once he entered the state of quiet meditation, he could sink deep into thought, only awakening when threatened.
In such a state, Ye Tian lost track of time’s passage, especially in this pit where time’s flow couldn’t be judged by conventional means, coupled with Ye Tian’s Silent Qi of the Nether God, leaving him unaware of anything.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Tian Qi slowly opened her eyes...
In the battle of Nancheng, Tian Qi wasn’t heavily injured, so, while she wasn’t skilled in self-healing, she had recovered to a reasonable extent over time.
Now, Tian Qi felt no discomfort except the pangs of hunger!
Upon opening her eyes, Tian Qi’s first sight was Ye Tian, almost bare!
Ye Tian hadn’t worn clothes, naturally for ease in healing and regaining strength with silver needles covering him, a fact Tian Qi understood, yet she still blushed deeply.
Tian Qi glanced like a thief at Daichong meditating beside her. Seeing him focused, trying to unblock his acupoints assured her that he wouldn’t stir anytime soon.
Thus, Tian Qi slowly rose to her feet and cautiously stepped towards Ye Tian.
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump..."
Tian Qi’s heart raced. She could distinctly hear her heartbeat.
With her being so close to Ye Tian, nearly naked, it was a first.
Tian Qi observed Ye Tian closely; despite countless battles, Ye Tian’s face appeared youthful, a young man leading everyone towards the future.
In stark contrast to Ye Tian’s youthful face was the countless scars on his body...
Though Ye Tian was skilled in medicine, he lacked the ability to prevent scarring from severe injuries, thus his muscular body bore numerous old and new wounds, showcasing his martial journey’s weariness and peril!
"Which of these scars were left for others? Which scars came from saving our Black Hole Clan?"
Tian Qi softly mused, sensing deep admiration for Ye Tian, a noble warrior dedicated to others, surviving against the odds, each scar potentially had its tale.
"Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump!..."
Tian Qi’s heart raced faster, unknowingly her face drew closer to Ye Tian.
Due to Tian Qi showcasing no aggression, Ye Tian immersed in meditation didn’t sense her presence, but the sounds from Tian Qi weren’t just heartbeats...
"Growl~~~~~~"
From Tian Qi’s stomach came the rumbling sound, incredibly embarrassing for a lady like her.
Even Tian Qi flushed to her ears!
Yet, Tian Qi didn’t retreat in embarrassment but instead, blushing, softly said to Ye Tian, "So hungry..."
As she spoke, Tian Qi gently moved her lips towards Ye Tian’s cheek, about to plant a kiss...
